Grand Jour Events

Tammara is amazing!! She is so patient. I loved that she responded to emails so quickly and always had so many awesome ideas and tips. She made sure my day ran smoothly and always kept me informed on what was going on. I would recommend Tammara to any one looking for a Stress Free Day!!

Tammara was amazing!!! She not only helped me put together my timeline and ensure that my even went flawlessly, BUT, she came to my ceremony and reception and took care of EVERYTHING! I didn't have to worry about a thing. I just enjoyed my day:) There wasn't even anything to do the day after... Tammara had packed up EVERYTHING from the wedding and put it in my mom's car. I couldn't have done it without her. I had no idea what to do for a timeline or how the event should go. I am so happy that someone recommended Grand Jour Events:) Side note- the cost is so unbelievably reasonable even the most frugal bride has NO excuse not to hire a day of coordinator;)

Stephanie was an amazing planner and so easy to work with. She was in constant communication before the wedding and her and Megan made my night absolutely perfect!

Tammara was awesome to work with. She took care of so many things the day of to ensure that our wedding day was perfect. She let me know if there was an issue right away but only after she had the issue resolved. Loved her!

Tammara kept very good correspondence throughout the entire event planning process. She was extremely easy to work with and worth every penny!

Our wedding was a DIY wedding which lead to lots of nerves about forgetting something that was necessary for the day. Grand Jour Events was fantastic! During the planning phase Tammara was there through emails just to bounce ideas off of or to answer questions. The set up for our reception was beautiful, exactly what we wanted. Tammara and her assistant made sure that the day kept moving and that we didn't have to concern ourselves with anything. Hiring a DOC was the best thing we did. It let us be relaxed and just enjoy the day!

Tammara was amazing, if you are thinking about having a day of wedding coordinator, just do it! She is wonderful, kind, so easy going! If there were any problems on wedding day, I don't know about it because she is that good! This was honestly the best purchase I made for my wedding! Anyone who doesn't go with Tammara is missing out for their day! Mine was stress free because I knew that she would make it beautiful and she did, everyone said it was the absolute best wedding they have ever been too!

Thanks Tammara!

Katie (July 14th bride)

Tammara with Grand Jour Events is amazing!!! She was always quick to respond when I had questions and was very professional. I hired Tammara to help me the day of my wedding to set up my reception decor. She did an amazing job and I didn't have to worry about anything. I am so glad I ended up hiring her for my wedding...she was one of my favorite vendors to work with and it was definitely worth it to have her because I didn't have to worry about anything the day of my wedding because I knew Tammara would be taking care of everything. Thanks Tammara!!

Tammara, the main coordinator, was already booked for my day, but her old assistant Stephanie is now also a lead coordinator. Stephanie was my coordinator, and she was great! I booked Stephanie for the day-of coordination package. For this rate, it included unlimited email coorespondance leading up to the wedding, she helped me design/perfect my day-of timeline (and without her I definitely would have forgotten some things!), called all my vendors the week of the wedding to confirm times and details, set up all of my DIY items at the wedding, and broke everything down at the end of the night and packed it in my parents' car. At the end of the night, we were able to just leave and not have to worry about anything. Your family will love you for this!

Stephanie and her assistant rocked...They were so great and handled everything very professional.

I can't say enough about Tammara! We used her as a day-of wedding planner, and she and her assistant held all of the details of the wedding day together for us. Her services were a fantastic value. She was completely on top of things and we were so thankful for her expertise. There is a huge spectrum of wedding coordinators that are available and we found the majority of the ones we spoke with insisted that they provide us with services than we didn't even want. Tammara, on the other hand, customized her services to exactly what we were looking for. (She even brought her photo wall out of retirement for us and it was a hit!) Thank you, Tammara, for helping us to have a wedding day that ran smoothly. Not having to stress about the details of the day gave us peace of mind and helped us to enjoy our day more fully.

Tammara went above and beyond to make my day, MY DAY! If I had a question about anything, If I wasn't sure what to do next, Tammara was already on it. When their were things that needed to be changed last minute Tammara made it run smoothy. Honestly, Grand Jour Events is as important to your wedding day as your wedding dress!

Tammara made my wedding experience so much more enjoyable. I could sit back and relax and just enjoy the day with my husband. Honestly, the service is priceless because it gives you more time with your friends and family on this special day. For what she charges, it is BEYOND worth it. It will make the whole process better, because it let's you focus on what is really important while Tammara takes care of all the details. Hire her. You won't regret it.

I cannot say enough great things about Tammara and her assistant, Stephanie: excellent communication, impeccable attention to detail, pure dedication, and simply good people! Both were truly wonderful on the day of our wedding and throughout the planning process, ensuring that things went perfectly. They were on top of everything, from start to finish, and I am convinced that they are the best out there! Tammara also did all of our flowers and they were beyond beautiful and exactly as we discussed. I would whole-heartedly recommend Grand Jour Events to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator and/or florist!

Tammara was the best! It truly was the best money we spent for our daughter and son in laws wedding. Tammara was there every step of the way. Everything was sooo organized, we received the best compliment from our daughter's photographer....she had wanted our daughter and son in law to call a couple of days before the wedding to tie up any lose ends, when they called she said" oh I'm all set, your wedding planner has taken care of everything, I've never worked for a wedding where things have been so organized." The whole process was just like that organized. Because of Tammara we all enjoyed the evening instead of worrying about what needed to be done. We can't thank her enoigh

Tammara was excellent to work with. She was truly my best friend the day of the wedding I didnt have to ask her for anything she knew everything I wanted or needed before I even knew I needed. I had a huge wedding party 23 people including the bride and groom and she handled each person wonderfully. Kept us organized and as close to schedule as possible. She got back to me via email within moments and was very helpful with every. My wedding day was a breeze and I owe that all to Tammara and her team. At the end of the night I just went to the car she had everythng packed up and ready to go. She even packed me a little goody bag from our candy bar which was awesome. I couldnt have asked for a better planner. If you haven't booked Grand Jour Events then you should hurry cause she books fast and se is surely worth it.

Amazing!!! Tammara and her assistant did an amazing job with everything!
They helped me with any questions I had and gave me ideas whenever I was stuck on planning something for the wedding all the way up to day of! Best investment for our wedding!! They set up and took down everything! The Rehearsal and wedding went perfect! They are just amazing!

For the day she cost $350 and met with me as many times as I wanted prior to the Big Day. I cannot rave enough about how amazing Tammara was!!!!! She was on top of every little detail. During the reception, she made sure my husband and I could enjoy ourselves and made sure we got each type of food and kept bringing us drinks. She was our absolute best vendor. We were so impressed by her and was the best spent money for our wedding. She is undercharging and we are going to send her a BIG tip with our thank you card. If you aren't sure whether you want/need a DOC, trust me, you do and you need to hire Tammara.

Hiring Tammara was absolutely one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. My reception site only allowed set up 2 hours prior to the start time which was when the ceremony was taking place. Rather than make any of my family members miss the ceremony (which was NOT an option), I hired Tammara to take care of set up.

She and her assistant did a phenomenal job! I had a lot of DIY projects that they set up for me (centerpieces, candy buffet, escort cards, etc etc) and everything turned out beautifully. They also cleaned everything up at the end of the night and packed it into my Father In Law's car so we didn't need to do a thing! They even packed up my nice ceremony shoes since I had brought a pair of flip flops to change into at the reception :)

It was also great because they were also around at the reception when I needed something (hello ibuprofen!) but they weren't intrusive or even all that noticeable. They just blended in, doing their thing and there if you needed them.

If you are wavering on hiring a DOC, do it! You will not regret it. I cannot recommend Tammara enough!

Tammara was great!! She helped me with not only DOC, but with my flowers for the bridal party and parents, and with centerpieces. Everything turned out better than I could of imagined!! The day ran smoothly, especially since it didn't rain:) I would recommend her anyone! Her help let me enjoy my day and not have worry about anything!

Tammara was so great when helping us plan our wedding. She was professional and patient all the time. She always responded quickly and gave us her WONDERFUL opinion when I was at a complete lose for what to do. Not only that, but she took all the little pieces we painstakingly put together and turned our hall into an absolutely breathtaking space. Tammara helped make our wedding spectacular! Thank you Tammara for everything! I will recommend your services to all of our friends.

Tammara is a lifesaver! We used her for day of coordination and also had her attend our rehearsal. Through the planning process, she was great with emails (fast replies too) and also recommended some awesome vendors to us. She helped us find our ceremony musicians and also put together our timeline. She had an assistant for the wedding day and they did an amazing job running the show. Everything went so smoothly all day, it was unbelievable! I had no stress at all because they took care of everything. They also got everything packed up for us at the end of the night and brought it up to our hotel room, our champagne flutes, guestbook, even extra cake!! Great experience working with her and her price was so reasonable too, I would've paid triple what she charged for her services!!

Tammara was very helpful in planning my wedding. She help to organize all of my other vendors and create a timeline to ensure that everything ran great. She set up everything at my reception hall and took everything down and packed it up in the cars. She made the day so much easier on my and my mother. I was ever able to contact her at 11:00 pm the night before my wedding when I had not heard back from my one of my vendors. She told me that she had already spoken to the vendor and had finalized everthing the way I wanted. She was the best purchase I made for the wedding. I would highly recommened her.

I couldn't be happier with the services Tammara and her assistant with Grand Jour Events provided. As an out of town Bride, I was having a hard time getting everything organized and in order for the week of the wedding. I needed someone I could put in charge and trust to make sure everything went according to plan. We booked Tammara less than a month before the wedding and it was the best investment we made! The peace of mind of knowing that she would take care of everything allowed me to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest extent. I didn't have to worry about coordinating vendors, getting things set up, cleaning up afterwards, etc. She did it all! She was also extremely responsive to all emails which is very important to me. There wasn't an email that went unanswered or a question she didn't have an answer to. She was amazing and I would recommend her to everyone!

Tammara was amazing, my mom said, "Kendra stop freaking out and just trust your wedding planner" well I did just that and she was amazing! I couldn't believe what she turned our venue into. Tammara has great taste and pays attention to the small details, she thought of everything! I hired Tammara for 18 months and in the beginning I had a view and a year later I changed everything! Tammara stayed with me and gave me encouragement to do things the way I wanted. She helped me relocate my wedding to my hometown even though it was close to a three hour drive for her. She is truely a professional and I am blessed to have found her she creates a stressfree day for the bride.

Tammara runs an amazing company and a top notch service for any bride!

She responded to my emails immediately, she had great vendor recommendations, she met with me and being an out of town bride it wasn't easy!

Her pricing is great and I would pay double!! I didn't have a single issue during the wedding, I walked in and commented everything looked amazing - she and her assistant even redid the centerpieces - she didn't tell me about the issue or anything it was just magically fixed! Then at the end of the night everything was packed up and amazing.

Honestly top notch service and vendor, I recommend Tammara to everyone!

Tammara did a wonderful job in keepi ng everything on schedule during the big day. Very help inserting everything up before the wedding and being hands on to ensure everything goes smoothly. Secondly very helpful in locating vendor and providing suggestions for different idea for solving. Problems...

Would recommend her to my friends to have her for the wedding, so it would reduce the stress level.
Thanks for a wonderful job...

I'm giving Tammara a 5 out of 5 as a Wedding Day and Rehearsal Coordinator and for the Wall Photobooth services. She was a great asset for our special day and I seriously don't know how it would have been without her and her team. She is quick to respond whatever questions I might have and has made suggestions here and there when I need them. She's very personable, attentive and made me feel confident that things will turn out fine. I also gave her instructions on how to setup the escort cards, guest book setup, favors, place cards , etc. and she made it all happen. Not to mention, her team also did a great job in cleaning up and putting all our important things where it should be. Thanks so much again Tammara! You are highly recommended.

Grand Jour provided a photo wall for my wedding, it was so unique that all guests kept wanting pictures and they are still talking about it days after the wedding! Everything went swimmingly... They couldn't have done a better job! They were quick to respond to my requests via e-mail and they shipped all the contents to me the very next day after my wedding. I wish I could plan another party so I could use the photo wall again and have their team help out!

I would 100% recommend Tammara to anyone getting married. She was a complete life saver and made our wedding day worry-free. I was very impressed with her services, especially since we hired her only 2 weeks before the wedding. She responded quickly to all emails and was always available for questions.

Tammara and her staff did a great job in setting up for our wedding! I really appreciated the extra mile she went to help us with getting everything to and from our venue. The centerpieces, cocktail tables, linens, decor, bar set-up, etc. all looked fantastic! :-)

The only room for improvement would be at the end of the night, me & my hubby and select few family members ended up cleaning up for an extra hour after the reception ended. There were rented tables/bar that had to be taken down to the main floor of the venue and garbage that had to be cleaned up. I'm not sure if we discussed clean-up before the wedding.....so not a huge deal. I really did appreciate all the packing-up you did do with the centerpieces, cakes, decor, etc. So, just thought I'd mention. :-)

Tammara was very friendly, attentive and professional. My husband and I live in Florida and did most of our planning via email with Tammara and we were finally able to meet with her in person 3 weeks before the wedding. She made suggestions when I asked, and paid attention to detail. She thought of everything, and helped relive some of the stress of planning an out of state wedding. It was such a pleasure working with Tammara and her assistant. I would highly recommend her to anyone requiring wedding coordinator services. Tammara also provided a beautiful candy buffet for our reception that was a huge hit!

Tammara was a great asset to my wedding. She helped make our wedding day go smooth despite the mishaps that occurred that were mostly my own fault. Tammara and her assistant were always around making sure everything was going as planned and that I was okay. She gave me wonderful suggestions and advice during the planning even though I only used her day of coordination services and ceremony assistant. She was always accessible via email or phone and she works with a smile on her face. One of the friendliest people you ever want to meet!!!! I highly recommend her!

Tammara and her assistant were exceptional. I made changes to the wedding timeline 24 hrs before the event, including asking her to come 1 earlier than we discussed. Tammara was incredibly helpful in all aspects of making sure the day was seamless. She set-up my entire reception venue (centerpieces, favors,escort cards, head & cake table, signature book, etc. ) and it was beautiful. Her careful eye for detail kept me in a completely peaceful place all day. I knew she would be able to handle things, but she went above and beyond. The ceremony was a success and she made sure the men were ready to go on time. At the end of the night she tore down EVERYTHING and remembered EVERYTHING. I came home and everything was neatly packaged just the way I would have done it. For someone who I met only 2 or 3 times, and spoke to through e-mails (she responded VERY quickly), she acted just as though this was her own wedding. Exceptional professionalism, friendly, helpful, and her calm demeanor kept me cool as a cucumber on my day. She was by far the best value for her service, and I cannot wait to see the bouquet painting she made for me.

Tammara was fantastic! As our day-of coordinator- she made our day run smoothly and saved us tons of stress and worrying! She set up everything at both our ceremony and reception and made it all look so beautiful! I would recommend her to anyone- she was worth ten times the money!

This vendor helped make my wedding reception run smoothly and efficiently!

Tammara was amazing to work with. She was able to work out every problem at my wedding without even having to bother me. I had been going through some crazy issues with my reception site, and when she arrived to set up, they had all the tables wrong. She got them all corrected and dressed before any one arrived for the reception. She always responded in a timely manner to any questions, and she was extremely professional. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Tammara did an awesome job on my bouquet painting! She did exactly what I asked and I am extremely happy with the way it turned out!

Tammara did a FABULOUS job on my boquet painting. I didn't look into getting this done until the day after my wedding. ( i got really sentimental at this point) I got ahold of Tammara through her website and she responded within 10 mins of me sending my inquiry. She agreed to meet with me the next day. She had the painting done in about 4 weeks and when I met her to dropoff and pickup she met me in the middle. Very nice to work with, and very good pricing for what you get. Even my husband really likes the painting. I thought she did an amazing job

Tammara made me feel comfortable and confident in her at our first meeting. She really does a wonderful job of making everything appear effortless, you don't have to tell her anything twice. Tammara did an absolutely amazing job acting as Day of Coordinator for our wedding. It was one of our best purchases as far as our wedding is concerned. She was prompt in returning emails and phone calls and even helped me make music choices!
During our special day she was a constant comforting presence, always in the wings making sure everything was the way I wanted it from rehearsal to ceremony to reception. She made sure our florist got the flowers to the right place and that all of our other vendors were on the same page. She made sure that our reception hall was laid out exactly the way I wanted it and she stayed throughout the reception to ensure that we had everything that we needed, that our bridal party was there on cue, and that all guests were seated accordingly. If anyone had any questions, they would ask her.
She remained there throughout the night up until the end, and made sure all our special items were safe and ready to pack up.
Her first priority is the bride's needs, no matter what, and I loved that!
We are SO glad we hired her! It takes a lot of pressure off the married couple and I would recommend EVERY couple getting married to make at LEAST this most important and helpful investment. I HIGHLY recommend Tammara. She delivered the most professional and organized services, complete with an assistant.

Thank you Tammara!!!!

Wedding Date: June 6th, 2009
Jennifer & Steve
Ann Arbor, MI

I dropped my bouquet off to Tammara the day after my wedding and she dried and pressed the flowers. She then created a gorgeous painting using the flowers from my bridal bouquet. This was an awesome way to preserve my bouquet! Tammara's website stated it might take up to six weeks to have the painting finished, but I received my finished painting less than three weeks after I dropped off my bouquet. Additionally, Tammara was very flexible and willing to meet whenever and wherever worked best for me. I would definitely recommend her services to friends looking to have their bouquet preserved in this manner. The only reason I didn't give five stars for quality and value is because there are a few tips of leaves that seem to be coming up from the canvas on my painting, but other than that, everything else is beautiful!

Grand Jour did my bouquet painting. I gave Tammara my bouquet the day after the wedding, and she completed it very quickly!! But, it's still "off-season" for weddings right now so in prime months it will probably take a little longer. I am so glad we did this, the painting came out really nice!! I would rec them to anyone who wants this done, and her prices compared to others for this work is very competitive!

I appreciate everything she did for us and our wedding! From the e-mails she sent just to checking up on me and seeing how things were going to making sure the entire day ran smoothly. It was nice that my friends and family got to relax and didn’t have to worry about anything because she took care of EVERYTHING! To anyone looking for a wedding coordinator I suggest you book Grand Jour Events, Tammara is very organized and it was like I had a friend helping me plan my wedding.

It was a pleasure working with you! Words cannot express how grateful we are that you were there for our wedding day. It was nice knowing that you were there in case anything went wrong and for keeping everyone on track. I will defiantly recommend you in the future. Thanks again!

It was great working with Tammara! She was very organized and always easy to reach via phone or e-mail if I had a question. She took care of everything and made sure our day ran smoothly. I defiantly recommend! Thanks for everything!

Thank you so much Tammara! It was nice knowing that you had
everything under control and I could enjoy my wedding day without
and worries.

Tammara is awesome! We communicated through email for a few
months before the wedding and she was always willing to do anything
we needed help with, she never hesitated to offer herself up for
whatever needed to get done. When it came down to the day before
the wedding and we were dropping things off at Canterbury, the staff
ended up letting us start the setup (we were previously told we couldn't
until the next day). By the time Tammara got there, everything was
setup kind of haphazardly and we had to rush out of there to get to
the RD on time. She stayed an extra 2 hours finishing the setup and
making everything look perfect. She checked with me to make sure
everything was covered and was such a big help. When we got to the
reception hall the next day everything was beautiful thanks to her. She
would be a great Coordinator for anyone who is looking and we highly
recommend her!

Tammara is great to work with and easy to get along with.

Knowledgeable, personable and helpful are adjectives I would use in describing Tamara and her services.

Grand Jour Events goes above and beyond to make the day extra special for you. Tammara and her crew are organized and definitely have a lot of weddings under their belt. I can guarantee you will be so happy you booked Grand Jour Events.

I recommend the services of Grand Jour Events to make your Wedding Day that very special day you always wanted,that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for many years to come. ~~ Angela Neik, www.calligraphybyangela.com Dallas Calligrapher 214 957 2155
