With us living out of state, it was important to us to find someone who had extensive wedding planning experience working in the Tampa area and someone who would be our advocate. We found our wedding planner Tammy on Marry Me Tampa Bay, and she was truly a dream maker!

Pat and I are both type-A, organized people, and we immediately knew Tammy from Special Moments Event Planning was the planner for us when she showed up to our first chat with a clipboard and a long list of questions.

Outside of her clipboard, Tammy’s honesty and down-to-earth personality are what gave us comfort and reassurance that we found our advocate. My priority for the day was to show up on time and leave the details to the experts.

Tammy made us feel included in the process without overwhelming us with minor decisions. She asked for our vision and went to work with her team to make it happen. We can’t say enough good things about Tammy and her team; they deserve all the credit!

I wanted someone who was organized, timely, honest, and creative. Special Moments Event Planning was incredible. We chose Special Moments because we heard Tammy was reliable and creative and was a trusted consultant in the Tampa Bay Area. My best friend worked with her and loved her! The team exceeded expectations and managed several aspects that were important to Jason and me. She was so wonderful, and we feel very grateful! We spread the good news, and she's now working with three of my other closest friends! Tammy has a way of managing the family as well.

We were looking for someone who understood our personalities, style, and vision. We wanted someone who had a great deal of wedding planning experience, who was accustomed to working with a diverse clientele, and who had planned weddings at our wedding venue before.

We hired Special Moments Event Planning because not only were Tammy and her team inviting, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable, they had planned weddings at our venue a number of times.

Sam wanted to do most of the planning herself but wanted someone to assist when needed such as recommendations for the invitations, guidance with vendors, and of course day of coordination. No bride should ever have to worry about what goes on in the background on her wedding day!

Sam decided to move forward with Tammy of Special Moments Event Planning because of her familiarity with the event space and local vendors. Tammy did an amazing job, and we really enjoyed working with her!

Someone who had a lot of experience working with the venue I chose. I wanted someone who would keep me organized and accountable because I easily procrastinate. I wanted someone who was easy to work with and would be a valuable resource.

I found Special Moments Event Planning on the Marry Me Tampa Bay website, and it was also a recommendation from our wedding venue. I arranged to meet with Tammy and knew she was it! She was such a great source of knowledge and experience. I hired her as a day-of planner but asked many questions throughout the process, which she was happy to answer and offer guidance. She also came to the food tasting and was very helpful when helping to decide and finalize details. She contacted all of our vendors prior to the wedding day to confirm all details. Rehearsal and wedding day was smooth sailing, thanks to Tammy. She made sure we followed the timeline she had organized. The venue looked exactly
like I imagined. She was there to help anytime I needed throughout the night. I was so thankful to have Special Moments throughout this process.

I knew I wanted to plan my own wedding. However, I needed someone to be there on my wedding day to make sure my day ran smoothly. I quickly learned that a day of coordinator is what I needed.

I chose Special Moments Event Planning after finding them on Marry Me Tampa Bay and read the wonderful reviews on their Facebook page. Tammy Waterman and her team are the best in the business! My wedding day was a complete dream, and I did not have to worry about a thing. I had Jennifer and Melissa as my day-of coordinator on my wedding day, and I was blown away with how efficient and detail-oriented they both were. They were there first thing to check in my vendors and were the last ones to leave. A day-of coordinator is the most important vendor a bride can hire.

We looked for a wedding planner who would be able to help us with every step of the wedding planning process and make the wedding weekend go smoothly.

We loved that Tammy Waterman, owner of Special Moments Event Planning, was very experienced with many years of planning weddings as well as planning Greek weddings and that she would be able to help us with all of the little details. Tammy and her team were absolutely amazing, and we could not have had the dream wedding weekend that we did without them.

Someone who would be able to understand my vision and make it become a reality.

I hired Special Moments Event Planning because I needed a day of coordinator. Tammy's services were budget-friendly. When I went to meet her in person, she was very friendly, knowledgable, and detail-oriented. I really loved that about her. She was the best thing that could have happened to our wedding. Tammy and her team did such a fantastic job bringing everything we had envisioned to life. It was just fantastic to see when it all came together. She made sure that we didn't miss going over anything. The day ran so smoothly. We didn't even feel like we were in a rush. I can't thank her and her team enough for all that they did.

We wanted a wedding planner who would make the whole planning process less stressful and that would advise us how to throw a really beautiful wedding without spending money unnecessarily.

We hired Special Moments Events Planning because Tammy and her team came highly recommended. Hiring Tammy was the best decision we made regarding the planning process! She is incredibly knowledgeable and connected with the best vendors. She made planning and then replanning our wedding since we had to delay our wedding by five months so much less stressful!

Tammy recommended the best vendors, gave us great advice on how to save money, and was incredibly supportive throughout the whole process. She carefully executed our wedding vision exactly the way we wanted it and made sure every detail was taken care of. This was the greatest gift to me on my wedding day because I didn’t have to worry about a thing but instead was free to be fully present and enjoy our special day! Additionally, with Tammy’s team of support, we didn’t need to put our family or bridal party members to work during our wedding weekend. Everyone was free just to enjoy the weekend! We would highly recommend Special Moments Events Planning to all couples!

Someone who was familiar with our venue and who would think of all the things I hadn’t thought of. Most importantly, I wanted someone who I could trust so that on the day of Bryan and I, as well as our friends and family, could just enjoy the day.

I spoke with a number of planners, but after one conversation with Tammy, it was a no-brainer to choose Special Moments Event Planning. Honestly, I never thought I would need a planner, but it ended up being one of the best decisions I made. From the very beginning, Jennifer Madison was professional and knowledgeable, and I had no doubt everything would be perfectly executed. Our wedding was perfect in every way, and we owe it all to her and her team.

I was one of those brides that had the misfortune of starting off with a terrible wedding planner. So, when it came to finding someone new, I did my homework. I wanted someone with a good reputation, who had multiple weddings under their belt, and who understood the stress and negotiations of wedding planning. I wanted someone who was going to be there to answer my questions and give advice. I had reached out to several event planners after I withdrew from our first failed planner, and luckily, we picked the best!

Given my issues with my first coordinator and the daily impacts of COVID-19, I knew we weren’t going to feel confident planning our own wedding. I saw Special Moments Event Planning on Marry Me Tampa Bay, and I came across Tammy Waterman’s name several times. When I reached out to Tammy, she was the only event planner that spent more than 15 minutes speaking with me and didn’t just send generic emails. She took the time to meet with us and reassure us that everything was going to go as planned.

Tammy was genuine and more confident than any other event planner we reached out to. She was always on time and seemed to know virtually every vendor in the area. She was able to steer us in the right direction with multiple issues as well as save us a ton of money in the long run due to some decisions that we made. Tammy and her team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect! They even snuck into our room during the reception for a romantic surprise which we thoroughly enjoyed!

I was looking for a wedding planner who could match my calm. I have a very easygoing approach to life, and I needed someone to match my energy and make wedding planning enjoyable. Special Moments was able to provide that for me; I never once felt overwhelmed and felt confident with all my choices.

My mother-in-law used Marry Me Tampa Bay to find Special Moments Event Planning, and thank goodness she did! I was struggling with timelines and small details and really hit my breaking point. Special Moments swooped in, and all my stress washed away after the first meeting. They were so personable and reassuring the entire time.
