Reviews for Virtuous Events by Tasha Raylene
GUEST
As a "second time around" couple we were looking for a distinct theme for our wedding. Not traditional but sophisticated enough to represent who we are and what we wanted to project to our guests. Lauren and Tanya did just that, they were able to listen to our ideas and budget then produce a fantastic day for us. We were impressed how well they took our suggestions and turned them into reality. Something that doesn't always happen in today's world.
Our guests were so impressed and we have had so many wonderful comments on all aspects of the event from the ceremony, the reception and the brunch.
We would recommend them to all couples who are looking for a great partner for planning their special day.

Great job ladies! Loved the candy! Everything was beautiful. Appreciated how much time was put into the whole thing. Definitely would recommend to my friends.
I don't think I have enough words or time to describe how AMAZING a job the Staff of Virtuous Events did with my wedding. I had never even planned on getting Wedding Coordinators but after many, many, issues Tasha and Lauren fell into my lap and my wedding planning finally became fun!! When I first spoke with them I had been looking for a Caterer for 5+ months (no lie & not exaggerated) and could not find a QUALITY Cater for my wedding at The Aquatorium in Miller Beach Indiana within my budget. After speaking with Tasha she had a Caterer, Bid, and Menu to me within about 48 Hours and a meeting set up for 3 days later. She hit the nail on the head with what we wanted (Fresh, Upscale Grill Items with an emphasis for quality) and she provided a Caterer who was happy to do what we wanted and was excited about it! From there they listened to all my requests, concerns, needs, etc. They always were receptive to what I wanted and didn't take over the project but they did do ALL THE LEG WORK!! They had wonderful suggestions and did everything to make sure we were 100% on Budget throughout the whole process. They were also my floral crew and my bouquet alone was and is the highlight of all of my photos because it was simply GORGEOUS! I sent 5 or 6 photos to Tasha of Flowers and Bouquets I liked and she patched it all together to make something more pretty than I could have ever expected. Also, my husband is VERY picky…and the ladies knew this, so to ensure his happiness they made TWO Boutonnieres so the day of our wedding he would have a choice!! It was such a nice touch and I know he really appreciated it, because it is not always about the bride and the ladies knew that! The whole process was amazing with them but the most important was the day of the wedding and I did NOT have a worry in my mind that everything would be executed to PERFECTION. The ladies busted butt and I never thought the venue could ever look SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! It has been a month since my wedding and I am still getting emails saying how beautiful everything turned out and that in no way did anyone feel like they were in Gary, Indiana. To be completely honest, never did I ever expect my wedding to be so organized and impressive, and there is NO WAY I could have done it without Virtuous Events. They went above and beyond and gave me more than I thought my budget could ever do. I really think I owe them for making my special day so memorable for my husband & I, and our family and friends. My husband and I are true believers in Custom Service and we don’t think there is a high enough rating for Virtuous Events and the staff they had with them the day of our wedding when it comes to what they did for us!
Let’s just say I can’t wait to get pregnant so I can have them plan my Baby Shower!!

Virtuous Events was able to work within our budget & in doing so, still able to completely exceed our expectations. Everything done was of the highest quality and no detail was forgotten, it was more than we could have even imagined.

Tasha and Lauren were great at developing the overall design of our event. I was totally lost when it came to the look I wanted our wedding day to have. From helping design a custom logo, menus, programs, centerpieces, and much more... it was like they were inside my head and knew exactly what I wanted! Everyone to this day is still raving that is was one of the most amazing wedding they have ever been too!
Again the overall look and design... I never would have thought we could afford our own logo or a fancy candy buffet and they were able develop that for us and stay in our budget
Since our wedding was a "destination wedding" for both families Tasha and Lauren made sure all our guest were taken care of; setting up the hospitality room at the hotel so people had a place to hang out between the wedding and receptions, making sure the shuttles got everyone where they needed to be, and keeping everyone on time! We had many issues the our hotel (not having rooms blocked, losing reservations) and reception venue (overcharging and not much selection in linens) and Tasha and Lauren took care of it all and made sure our day went off without a hitch without costing an absolute fortune!!!
I can not say enough about the two of them. They know every detail there is to take care of. They worked their butts off for us. We used them as a day of planner and from the moment we hired them we did not regret it. While most brides are freaking out the week before their wedding I was totally at ease and enjoyed every moment since I knew I had two extremely talent professionals taking care of everything. If you are looking for a planner you found the right ones. Our family will continue to use them in the future for weddings and baby showers! They rock!

How did wedding planner make your day special?
Where do I even begin? From the decor, to details in every single item, to being there every sec i needed anything, it was amazing.
Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered?
They offered all their suggestions,& tips... It was amazing how much advice and knowledge they had to offer on every subject. The biggest suggestion that was absoultely amazing was the birch branch tree, where the guests hung their cards on, instead of a boring everyday, wedding card box :-) it was awesome & a big hit at the wedding!
How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla?
haha they reduced it a lot, i was worry, stress-free 90% of the time!
