Discover and connect with wedding vendors that share your taste and your budget. With trusted reviews, you can rest easy that your wedding day will be as beautiful as you envisioned.
There are a lot of planners and florists on WeddingWire, but Tara’s the only one who I knew right off the bat really truly understood our vibe, style and aesthetic. She is high-energy and organized AF - as my mother in law put it “a planner on steroids”. She is a double-threat and is also THE MOST killer floral designer ever. Let’s face it: we’ve all been to a lot of weddings where the flowers were nice but you can’t remember them the next morning. If you want flowers ppl can’t get enough pictures of and still remember long after the party, if you want your wedding to run smoothly and look beyond perfect, GO WITH TARA. She LISTENS, she makes IT SPECIAL, and absofreakinglutely GORGEOUS.

Tara is an absolute gem!! She is talented, kind, helpful, responsive, funny and overall a joy to work with. Tara and her team did floral design for our wedding at 501 Union and we could not have dreamed up anything better. She really listened to our vision and created the most beautiful arrangements — we walked in to the most magical space and it exceeded our expectations completely! Everything was stunning and every little detail was carefully thought through and executed against. Would recommend Tara to anyone looking for an event and/or floral designer — she is INCREDIBLE!!!

WOW! Words can not express my gratitude for Mixed and Company. From the very first conversation with Tara we knew our experience was going to be nothing short of amazing. Tara went above and beyond for our day. She was so calm and extremely organized and more importantly she felt like she was part of the family. She made sure everything was taken care of and our vision came to life. Her attention to detail and her talent are second to none. The floral arrangements were out of this world and way beyond my expectations. Tara is a rock star and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect person to entrust to make our day as exceptional as it could be. It was one for the books and I am beyond thankful to have her.

As the MOB, Tara was a life-saver! She was very quick to respond, had such a positive attitude, and made my daughter's wedding day run smoothly. I highly recommend her!

I cannot speak highly enough of Tara - she joined us a month before our wedding and took over all the planning seamlessly and professionally. She's a TON of fun and really helped with our pre-wedding nerves. She made our vision for our wedding come to life, and we couldn't have done it without her!
For the details - During our first meeting, she clearly outlined what she needed from us and the handoff was really simple. I passed off all of my Google docs, powerpoints, random emails and notes... and somehow she distilled all of it into one master planning document that was clear and concise. She then got in touch with our vendors and stayed in communication them leading up to the wedding - everyone was clear about the schedule, did what they were hired to do, and got paid in a timely manner.
On the day-of, she met everyone at the space and made sure things were running smoothly. Not only did I trust her to make sure everything was running according to plan, I also trusted her wit... Read moreh last-minute creative decisions and making sure the space looked beautiful - which was a huge relief. I was a ball of nerves right before the ceremony, which she helped calm!
She also was really helpful during the reception. Checking in only when she needed to, but was also really accessible and helped with some last-minute changes like lighting, music, etc.
My entire family loved working with her. Thank you Tara!!

Tara created a magical, BEAUTIFUL "Night in Wonderland" event for The Fresh Air Fund (142+ year old NYC-based non-profit org) in a basic ballroom space. She literally created pure magic and left no detail untouched. The expectations of this annual event are very high and she went above in beyond in capturing the FUN, beauty, and elegance of this event. I have attended and organized hundreds of events and this was by the most stunning creation I've ever seen. Tara is an absolute pleasure to work with! Her enthusiasm, creativity, warmth, and professionalism comes through with every interaction. I absolutely adore working with her, her vision and cannot wait to work with her again (she is currently designing a Spring Gala design for us)! LOVE LOVE LOVE Mixed Company!!

We met Tara after our initial wedding planner had to leave town for an extended period of time during our big day. I was weary about involving anyone new, but Tara came in ready to work, and picked up everything mid-project to guide us as though she'd been there all along. Now that it's over I can't imagine it going half as well had we not had her.

We had a great experience working with Tara & Co. We originally hired Tara to help with the last mile of planning and coordinating the big day. She is super responsive and has the most positive, cheerful vibe without going overboard. She took care of everything on the day of so we could just enjoy ourselves to the max. She also set up our Chinese Tea Ceremony beautifully which was probably a bit of a unique wrinkle to the day. Tara also did double duty as our designer/florist and she was more than capable of knocking both out of the park. We loved the vibe of her arrangements and everything came out so beautifully. We would recommend her to anyone!

I have worked with Tara on about 5 events now, from bringing a digital community offline, to fundraising for a local and beloved institution, to an intimate mixer and I HIGHLY recommend this team. Tara and Mixed Company are everything you want in an event designer and planner. Tara's attitude is the perfect mix of super professional and fun. Tara is a brilliant creative, immediately catching on to your references or directing an entire theme or ambiance from scratch. She is an incredible (and hilarious) communicator, on top of her game in her e-email communication and tackling the whole to do list, big and small in the most organized way. Also, she is so funny and makes the event planning process what it should be-- fun and creative! Do not look elsewhere. Book Tara for your next event and you and treat your guests to a night to remember!

There is just so many good things to say about working with Tara, but let me just first start out by saying WE LITERALLY COULD NOT HAVE PULLED IT OFF WITHOUT HER! We hired Tara a month out from our wedding day, and it was the best decision we could have made (besides getting married of course ;o) ). In fact, we wish we had hired her from day 1 of planning after we got engaged.
From the very beginning it was clear to see how great of an experience it was going to be working together - she put together the most thoughtful and meticulous contract for us to review after our initial call - that literally laid out everything she would be doing for us leading up, and on the day of. The contact language wasn't the typical legal verbiage, but rather laid out realistic picture of exactly what needed to happen in the month to come. I can't say how much this just put me at ease immediately.
Tara is also fun fun FUN and has the biggest heart. In all the good moments (and stressful moments!) s... Read morehe was there and was really empathetic and did not make me feel silly or self conscious about questions or decisions. As a creative myself, Tara acted as a true PARTNER throughout our time together and worked with me on all the little details and crazy ideas we had. One thing that I also love about Tara is how honest she is - she isn't just a yes girl - even though we were her client and clearly she wanted us to be happy - she did not hesitate to give us her honest opinion and feedback during the process - that is an invaluable trait for a planner to have I think ...as a bride you think you know what you want, but you need someone like Tara to help translate that into something that will actually work for your space, crowd, aesthetic, etc etc.
Tara also assisted us with the rehearsal and was really great at taking the reigns and letting the bridal party and family know when and where they needed to be. She also has a wonderful team of professionals that she brings on (depending on the size of the wedding), and we got the pleasure of working with Peter, who behind the scenes helped make all the magic happen throughout the evening, including making sure my husband and I had a drink in hand during the toasts.
In a nutshell, you will be DELIGHTED to work with her and I would recommend her to my closest friends and family any day. She has a real passion for what she does and it shows. She is such a perfect combination of creative and yet super organized and meticulous so that none of the details are ever forgotten - which is a hard combination to find!
She will bring a certain magic and sparkle to your wedding that you won't find anywhere else!

Mixed Company NYC went above and beyond, definitely exceeding my expectations. Tara is such a gem!! She is so sweet - really cares about her clients, answers any and all questions/concerns. This is something that really stood out to me about her - I was pretty stressed out planning our wedding, yet Tara put me at complete ease and I knew I was in good hands. Her attention to detail and ability to create masterpieces is honestly unbelievable - her arrangements are stunning! I love, love, LOVE this company and would 1000% use again! :)

If you're cruising through reviews of florists looking for the team that will make all your wedding bloom dreams come true... STOP NOW... you've found them.
Of every vendor we worked with to plan our special day, Tara took the cake for being the absolute BEST! All I did was share some floral inspiration via email, the color scheme for my wedding, and voila, our florals day-of were absolute perfection. I honestly could not have dreamed of anything any more beautiful than what she created.
Tara's responsiveness and flexibility throughout all the planning was unreal, and every email we got from Tara magnified how much we were looking forward to our big day. She brought excitement and top-notch quality to every conversation, and I truly feel she went above and beyond in ensuring everything was perfect (i.e., going to our venue on her own to better understand the space, including me on every decision so everything was perfect, tagging me in every Instagram post she shared as she shop... Read moreped for our blooms... the list goes on).
AND! If that's not enough to convince you, EVERYONE at our wedding asked for her business card. From our guests to our coordinator to our Maitre d'... everyone was head over heels impressed.
I will be forever grateful that Tara and Mixed Company NYC were a part of our special day. I am certain that our wedding planning, the big day, our photos and our memories of it all were all that much more beautiful thanks to her and her team!
THANK YOU, TARA!

I had an amazing experience with Tara. She was incredibly helpful and informative, and made every step of planning a breeze. She was organized and on top of everything, and sent me updates and reminders and tips throughout the process. The color coded Timelines and guides were an absolute hit! I was very overwhelmed going into my wedding and stressed about the amount of organization and production that would go into pulling it all off. Tara came in and took care of everything and seriously eased my mind. She liaised with the venue and my various vendors, and created timelines for the day to streamline set-up. The day of the wedding she was on everything before I could even think it, and I was able to spend the night enjoying myself with friends and family because I knew that everything else was taken care of. I can't say enough great things about her and can't imagine pulling off my wedding without her! She really made the process so much smoother and less stressful. Working with... Read more Tara was the best decision I made when planning our wedding!! Also she's just fun and joyful to boot and a general pleasure to be around, my family couldn't say enough great things either!
