Grand Jour Events

We hired Tammara based on a recommendation from the awesome Maureen C. Our wedding was at a our friend’s farm which meant we had to bring in vendors to cover everything – tables and chairs, DJs, caterers, bars, etc etc. Being that I plan events for a living I didn’t really need anyone to coordinate all that for me, I’m used to managing a few different vendors, juggling contacts, etc. However, that was the last thing I wanted to do on my actual wedding day, so I decided to hire a day of coordinator who could be our point person through it all.
Tammara made the whole process so smooth. I provided all my vendor contacts and she checked in with them the week of to make sure everything was set. She sent me worksheets which made the timeline and the ceremony structure easy to plan. I went into the day feeling stressed (of course! I stress about everything!) but also confident in knowing the day was going to go great!
The day of Tammara and Stephanie (one of her coordinators) were excellent. We had a bit of rain and they came up with contingency plans for the ceremony should we need them. Luckily the rain stayed at a drizzle so we moved forward with the outdoor proceedings but I was grateful for their back up all the same. They made sure all the chairs from the ceremony were moved into the reception barn, they even moved decorations from outside into the reception area to help dress it up during the dinner and dancing (a touch I didn’t even consider but appreciated as they looked fantastic in the photos). They helped make sure the catering, bar and all the other odds and ends else went smoothly. They even cleaned up post wedding and loaded all the gifts and some décor pieces in my car. The next day when my husband and I went back to the space to finish clean up we were delighted to find that we didn’t have to do a darn thing other than load up the rest of the boxes (that they had filled with the rest of the wedding décor and misc. wedding items in the car) and the linens (that they had placed in the rental bags for us) and everything was done. After all the set up, the stress leading up to it and of course all the fun from the day of I was absolutely exhausted the day after and was so grateful for the easy clean up that I cried tears of relief on my drive back home.
Also, and most importantly for many, her prices are incredibly reasonable. Especially given the time she spends with each client and how well she does her job. There are several packages that work in levels of affordability and come with different hours she and her team commits to your event. Something for everyone and your needs. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend that you do too, should you be in the market for an event coordinator.
Thank you, Tammara and Stephanie, for making our big day so wonderful!

Tammara made our wedding day run smoothly. She was great to work with. If there were problems, I didn’t know about them. I wish I would have had her help in planning from the start, and I wish I had found her before I booked a florist. She’s the best!

Tammara with Grand Jour Events did a great job at our wedding last week. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process and we had only hired her as a Day of Coordinator (DOC). I knew I was going to need some help when I booked my venue where I did (worst ever), I didn’t realize it was going to be so easy to have another ‘me’ there setting everything up.
I didn’t cry the day before or the day of the wedding. I think I was more in shock than anything, but as soon as I walked into the reception area and saw what had been put together in such a small period of time, I was filled with emotion. After only a bit of email communication on how I would like everything set up, I walked into my own head. Everything was laid out even more perfect than I could imagine and everything was ready to go. I was incredibly satisfied with the work she did and couldn’t of asked for a better DOC.
