Lotus Events

You’re probably reading this because you’re starting wedding planning — woohoo!!! Booking with Lotus Events may be the single best decision you make through that process — it certainly was for us. Tara helped us plan our September 2026 destination wedding at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin and made everything we wanted come to life even better than expected. I won’t say that Tara is the reason it dropped below 100 degrees for the first time in three weeks, but I wouldn’t be surprised! We are not based in Texas, and Tara’s knowledge of the area and vendor relationships and recommendations were invaluable to us. She was always quick to respond to our endless questions and answered not only with the information we needed, but with additional recommendations and insight into how our decisions, big or small, would play out on the big day. She coordinated with all of our vendors flawlessly and really looked out for us to make sure we had the special day we imagined. On top of everything else, she let us ship SO MANY Etsy packages to her and take over her house since we were flying to the wedding. After the wedding, we’ve had a few moments where we’ve realized we didn’t have to think of anything on the wedding day except love and happiness and fun — Tara had everything taken care of. So many of our guests have commented on Tara’s positivity, kindness and professionalism, and we wholeheartedly agree. She is a consummate professional who approaches every part of the day with a positive and can-do attitude, and manages everything incredibly efficiently (she is somehow everywhere all at once), but is also the chillest! She exudes calm and makes the whole day feel so effortless. We are so incredibly thankful to have had Tara as an integral part of our big day. Our wedding day was more perfect than we could have ever imagined, and we can thank Lotus Events for that. Tara, you are the best!!!

Tara was absolutely amazing to work with throughout our wedding planning process! She was incredibly organized, attentive, and thoughtful, and made us feel supported every step of the way. She handled all the little details and unexpected moments with such calmness and professionalism, which made the entire wedding day feel so seamless. We are so grateful for everything Tara did to make our wedding day so beautiful and stress-free. She truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

We worked with Tara for about a year through her partial planning package, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. What makes Tara exceptional is that she somehow manages to be both incredibly calm and incredibly effective at the same time. Throughout the entire year, she kept us on track with deadlines, vendor meetings, decisions, and milestones without ever making us feel stressed or pressured. As two working parents, we were often slow to respond, and she gave us so much grace while gently keeping everything moving forward. Tara coordinated and hosted our vendor meetings, built our planning timeline from a year out all the way down to the smallest day-of details, and thought through countless things we never would have considered on our own. Her experience was invaluable. She is also remarkably resourceful. One example: we needed a lifeguard for our wedding pool and had no idea where to find one. Somehow, Tara tracked one down for us. Time and again, whenever we thought we'd run out of options, she would dig deeper and come back with additional vendors, creative solutions, or alternatives to consider. She also took difficult vendor conversations off our plate, which was a huge gift. When we needed help navigating decisions or exploring ways to save money, she helped us think through options and find creative approaches that worked for our priorities. On top of coordinating everything, she designed and printed our seating charts, table assignments, bar menus, and other wedding signage because we simply didn't have the bandwidth to manage those details ourselves. On the wedding day, Tara seemed to be everywhere at once. Every guest, family member, and vendor commented on how kind she was. Somehow she was constantly moving, solving problems, coordinating details, and helping people, yet she never appeared rushed or chaotic. She even made sure my husband and I actually ate while we were getting ready and brought food to us before the ceremony. The greatest compliment I can give is that Tara made our wedding feel effortless, even though I know an enormous amount of work was happening behind the scenes. We were able to be fully present and enjoy the day because we trusted that she had everything handled. If you're looking for someone who is organized, experienced, resourceful, responsive, and genuinely kind, I cannot recommend Tara highly enough :)

Ellie and I both agree that this thank you is a week or two overdue, but Tara made a good wedding…great. Once all planning was done; which she did a great job in keeping us on course, we were actuality total at ease and able to enjoy the event and the amazing time. Tara juggled the rain and cold wind and it all turned out amazing. Thanks Tara. Chris and Yen ❤️

Tara and Lotus Events were a dream come true for our wedding planning. Whether you already know exactly what you want or you need guidance through the millions of options, Tara can help! Our wedding was on a tight timeline with almost nothing planned when we first reached out. After the consultation call and a few texts back and forth, we felt so much more confident that everything would turn out perfectly — and it did! Every aspect of the wedding was magical, and more importantly, completely stress-free. Tara is incredibly hands-on and was just as invested in the success of our day as we were. I can't say enough good things about her, both professionally and as a person. Out of all the tough choices that come with planning a wedding, choosing Lotus Events is one decision you can feel 100% confident about.
