Heavenlee Weddings by Tammy Lee-Papia

The best decision we ever made for our wedding was to get Tammy to help us out. She helped us achieve the look we wanted for the reception and also hooked us up with the best suppliers available. On the day itself, Tammy was such a life saver! Found out too late that my veil was too crumpled, thankfully,she had a steamer in her car! She not only steamed my veil but ironed it as well! She's soooooooo prepared for anything that might come up! She even did a little alteration to my dress as it was kind of too long! Having her around will be the best decision ever, as it relieves you all the unwanted stress on your wedding day! WE highly recommend Tammy as she will really go out of her way to give you the wedding that you envision to have!

I can't say enough about Tammy and Heavenlee Weddings! They were fantastic and they made sure my wedding went smoothly. Working with a wedding planner was the best investment I made in the wedding- I really don't know how we would have done it without them! I was planning the wedding from out of town and Tammy and her team made everything 100 times easier than it would have been doing the planning alone. In our initial call Tammy brought up several things I never would have thought of on my own- how to orchestrate the flow of the ceremony, renting flower stands for the ceremony site so flowers don't sit on the floor and a lot more. I worked with Tammy for the pre-planning and worked with Karen and Lindsey on wedding day. I loved them all!! On rehearsal day they helped us plan and organize the ceremony and they went over what they would help with on wedding day-- basically everything so we (bride and groom) and our families could sit back and enjoy the day. On wedding day Karen and Lindsey were very sweet and friendly and had a solution for every problem that popped up. One major issue was that one of my bridesmaids pricked her finger while helping me get dressed, so there was blood on the back and train of my gown. Karen saw it and cleaned it quickly- crisis averted. She was completely calm and reassuring which helped to minimize my stress. There were some family drama issues that Karen took care of without me ever knowing. My husband wanted to have mighty taco as a late night snack during the reception but we couldn't figure out how to pick it up-- Karen and Lindsey took care of it so none of our guests had to leave the party. Tammy joined later in the evening after working at another wedding (talk about dedication!) and she helped with all the wrap up. Karen, Lindsey and Tammy helped gather all of our gifts, guest book and personal belongings and dropped them off at my in-laws house the next day. I'm sure they did a million other things that I didn't even notice. I had the best time with them and I highly recommend them for anyone who is considering a wedding planner-- they offer a great service that can alleviate A LOT of wedding day stress.

Our wedding was perfect ! Very professional. Every bride needs Tammy by her side!

Tammy, we couldn't have done it without your advice and service! You're amazing! Thank you for all you did before, during, and after our big day.
Sincerely,
Catherine and Chris

Tammy's help and assistance is invaluable! She was there throughout the ENTIRE day to make sure that everything went as planned (which it did!)
She covered all bases and made sure that we didn't forget a thing. Not sure what we would have done without her!

This is one of the most important days to be a woman and Tammy Lee from Heavenlee Weddings made it the best day of my life!! Thanks so much for all of you help and everything you did for us you guys were the best! I got so many compliments and so many people are now interested in doing what i did!

we had a great wedding. tammy organized the whole wedding as a destination wedding for about 140 people from out of state. i did not want to stress and go bridezilla on everyone, and she did a great job of preventing that, by doing the planning and managing all of the vendors. there were a lot of ideas that i had in my head, but had not idea how to follow through with making them happen. tammy was able to listen to all of my ideas, look at all of my pictures, and produce a very low key wedding ceremony on the maid of the mist with a fabulous reception. our guests tell us it was the best wedding that they've been too. we agree, but we are biased :). i would recommend tammy at heavenlee weddings.

Tammy Lee-Papia is THE BEST at what she does...planning and executing awesome weddings!!!

We run a wedding & event venue and have worked with Tammy in the past with our clients. Once we got engaged Tammy was the first vendor we contacted to book our date. Being in the catering business we see a lot of weddings so we knew exactly what we wanted for the reception. We were able to communicate that to Tammy and she was immediately on the same page. Once we started planning the ceremony we realized how many details beyond the reception there are to think about and coordinate. Tammy's assistance with these details made our day the most amazing wedding we could ever have imagined.

The day of our wedding everything was flawless...from the ceremony to the reception. We knew we had nothing to worry about and let's face it...peace of mind is priceless!

Thank you to Tammy and her team for what several of our guests called "THE BEST WEDDING EVER!"

-Jean & Tom

A huge thanks has to go to Tammy for helping me make my day absolutely perfect! Very professional and fun! Full of great ideas and very orgazined. I couldn't have gotten the more perfect person for my needs! I especially love that she doesn't do "packages" like other planners/coordinators. She completely tailors her services to your needs. Would highly recommend Tammy to anyone who wants a beautiful wedding that is well-organized.

Tammy's services were wonderful!

Tammy is absolutely AMAZING! Abraham and I had a 6 month engagement, and in that 6 months Tammy helped us to put together the day that I had only ever dreamed about. We had met with her to dicuss all the plans and I soon realized there was a lot more to planning a wedding and Tammy took care of it all. She was our wedding planner superhero. She worked with our photographer, DJ, reception hall, officiant, sound tech, and the pastor of the church where we got married, and with her God-given gifts and talents, she made the night run smoothly and took away the anxiety. She was there every step of the way. She was even at the rehersal early to help my mom, my bridesmaids and myself set up the decorations in the church. On the day of the wedding she was making sure everything was ready to go and without her we would not have had the experience that we did. Tammy always goes above and beyond your expectations and she is so wonderful to work with. Thank you Tammy for everything!

Mrs.Papia was awesome we had planned an outside wedding but the day turned out to be cold and rainy, within two hours we were set up inside even more beautiful that could have ever been expected great services from her. every step of they way she was there helping us. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Tammy was amazing to work with. My husband & I live out of town & she was fantastic at the details & ensuring everything on the day of was our exact vision (& beyond). I strongly recommend a planner as I hear brides to be "stressing" the week of or weeks before their wedding, with a planner, they keep the stress level down & cross all the t's. For what a couple is spending on a wedding, a planner is a drop in the bucket & a necessity. Tammy was detail oriented & extremely professional, we both loved working with her. Our day was the most beautiful day of our lives.

Tammy was excellent. I feel Tammy's fee was extremely fair for the peace of mind I had on my wedding day. From the littlest details, to making sure everything was in place, I felt secure knowing I could hand it over to Tammy. Definitely top notch, knows what shes doing, and offers continued support to make sure you are feeling settled and ready for the best day of your life!

Tammy is an extremely efficient and organized planner. We not only utilized her services the day of the wedding but had met on several occasions before the event. She had great ideas regarding decorations, menu planning, invitations and even developed a time line that kept us all ogranized. She made the wedding a huge success.
The day of the wedding she coordianted all of the vendors that kept me from answering a million questions. We could not have asked for a more perfect day.
All of us agree, we do not know how we would have done it without her.
Tammy loves what she does and extremely passionate about making YOUR day be perfect. She plans for any possible problems and is prepared for the unexpected. We highly recommend her as a consultant as we know she will make your day as perfect as ours was. Thank you Tammy!

My husband and I chose to hire a wedding coordinator when we got engaged because we felt we would need some guidance through the planning process, but also wanted to make sure we could enjoy the day of the wedding to the fullest. We met Tammy at a bridal show and called her the same night to set up an appointment. From that point on, Tammy was easily accessible, gave great advice and guidance, and shared her recommendations for other vendors in the area. With Tammy taking care of all the last minute confirmations the week before the wedding, I was surprisingly relaxed. The day of the wedding our guests kept commenting on how calm I was, and I had to give Tammy the credit for that. With her by our sides the day of the wedding we were able to concentrate on enjoying ourselves and our guests instead of keeping track of a timeline or dealing with any minor glitches along the way. She is truly passionate about what she does and I would highly recommend her services to any other couple. Thank you Tammy!

Tammy from Heavenlee Weddings was absolutely amazing. We actually won her service for the day of the Wedding to coordinate the ceremony. I never even thought about hiring a wedding coordinator because i did not think there was a need for one, but by having her, she covered things that I may have never thought about or would have spent a lot of time worrying about. She really put my mind at ease and I was able to relax and enjoy our ceremony as every bride should. I would highly recommend this service to future brides. If someone had told me about this service or if I had taken the time to visit her booth at the bridal shows, I would have hired her before we won the package. It may sound a little pricy, but when you are spending the amount of money that the average couple does on a Wedding, what's a few hundred more to make your special day heavenlee!

What would I have done without my wedding planner to save the day? My husband & I had our wedding in Buffalo, NY which is our hometown and we reside in Dundalk, MD. I found Tammy through the Buffalo Bridal Association via internet. I was also a 5 months pregnant on my wedding day. There was an huge issue when I thought my Matron of Honor was my friend and she burned a tennis size ball hole in my veil that I had purchased from Tammy's vendor as well pulled her daughter who was suppose to participate as the flower girl in my wedding. I felt my day was ruined but Tammy keep me calm and she was indeed heaven sent. Tammy had a mistake delivery of a brand new veil at her home. She sent her husband all the way across town and had him make it back to my church located downtown Buffalo in time--had it streamed and ready when I entered in the church as well assisted me putting it into my hair. My receiption was at The George Urban Mansion in Cheektowaga; all that I can say is that I will forever be greatful and thankful for Tammy, her husband and staff for making my day beautiful and turn out the way that I planned.

Thank you so much Tammy & I will be using you in the near future for our wedding anniversary.

Wedding August 1, 2009

Hiring Tammy to coordinate and orchestrate our June 2009 wedding was by far the best decision we made throughout our planning process. We had initially hired her as a day of planner, but ended up having her complete many tasks in the month leading up to our wedding. She was immediately able to pick up on our style and truly brought the entire wedding together and created a day which was more beautiful than we could've imagined. Our entire families and wedding party were beyond impressed with the professionalism and outstanding service she provided. Our vendors who have worked with Tammy spoke extremely high of her with on stating "she is by far the best in the business" - those who had not worked with her in the past requested her contact information so their company could recommend her to future clients. Additionally, her price was significantly lower than other coordinators in the Buffalo area. My fiance and I would whole-heartedly recommended hirinig Tammy at Heavenlee Weddings.


She worked diligently to provide outstanding service and make our wedding everything we dreamed. Not only is she extremely detail oriented and creative, she has a gift for picking up on a couple's sense of style and

Tammy worked with my husband and I on our February 14, 2009 wedding. I do not know what I would have done without her!!! She took all of the worries out of the day and the days leading up to our wedding. If any issues arose she was right there to resolve it! I highly recommend her and her staff!!!!!!!!

I used the service for Day Of Coordination. I can not say enough nice things about Tammy or her assistant! I worried about nothing the day of my wedding, the executed everything I did before hand perfectly, just how I would have wanted it! I was able to sit back and enjoy all the hard work I had put into my day! My day flowed seamlessly! I owe my fantastic execution of my wedding to Heavenlee Weddings! If you are tossing up the idea of a wedding planner, talk with Tammy! My mom thought it was a frivilous expense until she saw what she did and how much stress was taken off both my mom and I the day of the wedding and she now is 100% behind the idea of anyone hiring one!

At a bridal show, I won a free wedding planner from Heavenlee Weddings. It was the best experience! Tammy is truly an amazing person, who helped in every way possible. She really makes sure that she knows what you like and focuses on "your dream wedding." She has so many resources to choose from, and they are the best prices. I wanted to have chair covers for our wedding, and Tammy came out to our wedding venue to share the different styles and prices for the chair covers. This is just one example of when she went above and beyond. When I would call her to discuss ideas, she was always available to talk with. I am grateful for all that she did for us. My family could not believe how relaxed I was the day of our wedding. I enjoyed every moment, and looking back it brings me great joy to know that I have so many wonderful memories. Tammy, thank you for doing an excellent job!

Tammy is AMAZING! I was fortunate enough to win Tammy's ceremony services at a bridal show however, Tammy had another wedding scheduled for the same day therefore she offered to assist with designing the reception. I cannot say enough good things about her and her ability to take her experience, insight, professionalism and personality and make them work for you and your big day. She made our day....she pulled it all together...even my husbands little surprise at the reception. When she wasn't able to be there she suggested assistants that she uses and although I had never met them I felt confident with the fact that Tammy trusted them...I was not disappointed, they too were amazing. I would highly suggest that you give Tammy a call, you will have an unforgetable wedding! Also, keep in mind I didn't pay Tammy a penny....she went above and beyond because she loves what she does and it shows in her work.... Best Wishes and Good Luck! Kelva and Mark July 10, 2010

TammyLee's services were excellent, so many ideas, so much help the day of the wedding. I would defintiely say it was a God send the day of the event. From the ceremony to the reception everything worked out just like we planned. The lack of stress made the day so much more enjoyable. All the vendors Tammy recommended were amazing. Tammy was more than a wedding planner but a friend. I would recommend her service to anyone! Jackie & Chris

Tammy was so helpful in setting up appointments and pointing us the right direction as far as choosing vendors. On the day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about anything, she had taken care of every last detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding coordinator!

Tammy Lee assisted us with our linens. I wanted something that was NOT typical to Buffalo weddings. She had to really go outside the box, and she did! I had 3 different table sizes, and our theme was blk, white and silver, old hollywood glamour with lots of sparkle, feathers and candlelight. Our bistro tables were covered in silver lame and gathered with huge metal ovals with crystals and a hat pin. the overlays were stunning as well. she totally assisted in giving an experience. what we found was not cheap, and her mark up was higher than I expected, but she was able to provide something others could not.

Tammy and I had a chance to meet for the first time at the Project Pink wedding show. She did a great job organizing the vendors and you can tell she is very detailed orientated. Every bride should have a wedding planner like Tammy. Sharon Janik Venne' owner Dianne's Floral

I had the pleasure of working with Heavenlee weddings, last summer. Tammy is very professional and organized. The Bridal party was at ease, which makes my job as a makeup artist much easier.

Heavenlee Weddings is an absolute pleasure to work with. Tammy and her team does a wonderful job keeping the day organized and enjoyable for everyone. Her experience keeps her prepared for any situation, her attention to detail helps make the day "perfect". Her drive and friendly attitude makes any Bride and Groom feel happy and comfortable for having her plan and be part of such a special day.

We have worked with Tammy on many events. She is well organized, very professional and great to work with. I would recommend this company!

A Blooming Place has worked with Tammy and her staff at Heavenlee Weddings on many occasions, always finding them to be professional, pleasant, knowledgeable... great to know such a reliable planner!

Tammy Lee is just the most terrific person to work with. Her extensive knowledge, expertise, and experience is always the calming force in any situation. I have had the pleasure of working with her. and even in some very chaotic situations, she stays unbelievably cool, calm and collected! She takes charge and stays in charge...carrying through until each and every detail is dealt with to the total satisfaction and delight of the bride, groom and their families. As a wedding officiant, I have arrived at a rehearsal with the bride and groom assuming that I will be performing the rehearsal. That is not my expertise! I have very limited knowledge of the finer details and I do feel bad when I see them at a loss for answers. I see many brides that think they can handle everything on their own...but when they have their arm wrapped around their father...waiting to walk down that isle...they have no idea...no control over what is going on with the order of the wedding party, the groomsman's and mother's flowers, the timing of the music, or any of the other last minute details.
Why not reduce your anxiety...enjoy your day!!! Your excitement should always out way your stress!!
Put your trust in Tammy Lee!! I would recommend her services to everyone who is planning a wedding. You will be so very happy you did!!
