I just hired Tammie to be my florist for my wedding. I originally was looking for someone to help decorate at my venue the day of. Low and behold she does it all! She has been quick to respond to all my emails and texts! She made it very convenient for us to meet at a bridal show we were going to already. On top of everything, her prices cannot be beat.. What more is there to say!? Stop searching, she's the real deal!

Details: Wedding ceremony / reception • 76 - 100 guests • Event decor rental • Decor setup • Decor teardown and disposal • Centerpieces

Tammie did a wonderful job as my Day Of Coordinator! I don’t know what I would have done without her. She was knowledgeable about anything and everything, and helped us to worry A LOT less when it came to the actual wedding day. Worth every penny!

I feel like I could write a novel about how awesome it was to work with Tammie and the fam at Desert Vines Events. I'll just highlight some of my favorite things and give you a TL;DR - five stars---no, ten stars. Would hire again in a heartbeat, no need to look anywhere else. - Little creative details everywhere!! Hire Desert Vines if you want someone who can truly help you create a DIY wedding on a shoestring budget. I can only imagine what she could do with a full budget! - Tammie let me take the lead, even when I proposed some crazy ideas. She never shot them down, either... she'd just go through the logistics to make sure we'd thought of everything. I liked the way, when I would suggest something kinda weird, she would very gently tell me what she thought and suggest alternatives---but if I pressed on, she would step back and let me do my thing. That meant a lot to me. It was good to have someone keeping me grounded, but also who would step back and let me take risks if I wanted to. - Immediately after hiring her, Tammie quickly identified and addressed any tasks that I had overlooked or was dragging my feet on, and took care of them completely. Her doing this gave me the space to focus on my favorite parts of event planning, and allowed me to let go of some aspects that I cared less about. All the tasks she took over for me proceeded to run seamlessly at the event; I didn't have to think twice about them. - Tammie was endlessly patient and kind, even when I got stressed out. She always found a way to look on the bright side of things, which I find to be a great quality in a planner. - It was genuinely fun to brainstorm ideas with her. She's so creative and craftsy, we were able to do so much with relatively little... everything looked soo beautiful in the end. - Her crew was so sweet and friendly, and always on the lookout for ways they could help during the event. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Tammie and the Desert Vines crew. What a beautiful wedding we put together. <3 Highly recommend. Couldn't have done it without them.

You are too kind, thank you! This was no ordinary wedding - a 3 day "Jacksonfest wedding reception". I had so much fun planning a woodland theme with you and then seeing it come to life. I heard good things about the craft tent, the bonfire, the food, etc. I am so glad that you were thrilled with the results. Pictures! Will miss working in the wee hours with you. Best of wishes to you both. Tammie

Tammie recently did the florals for our wedding and we LOVED them! From the very beginning Tammie was awesome to work with. We were planning our wedding from out of state, so I was constantly emailing to ask questions. Tammie was always quick to respond, and not only listened to what I had to say and was requesting, but had awesome advice and suggestions. She had some great ideas on ways to reuse florals from the ceremony for the reception, and really got us thinking to help keep costs down. I changed my mind on what we were looking for multiple times throughout the process, and Tammie never got angry or annoyed, and supported my need to explore all options before making a decision. When it came to the wedding day, Tammie delivered and setup all of the flowers, so I knew it was well taken care of. Our bouquets looked beautiful, and the colors really popped for photos. I don't particularly know flowers, so I gave Tammie direction on colors and style, and let her do her thing - and I'm glad I did! I highly recommend Tammie and hope to use her services again in the future!

Tammie was such a pleasure to work with!! If you are hoping to be calm and carefree (or as calm and carefree as possible:)) the day of your wedding, she is the woman the hire! My husband and I were both on the West Coast when we began planning our East Coast wedding. We initially hired Tammie to do the floral arrangements. As time went on, we were still struggling to find certain vendors and bring our visions to life. We hired Tammie about two months before our wedding day to help with planning. She assisted with finding our final vendors and finalizing decor details. With her years of experience in the industry, Tammie was able to answer any questions we had, recommend things we never would have thought of or would have forgotten about, and made sure we were always on track with the rest of the planning. The day of the wedding, Tammie took care of everything for us. She truly helped bring our vision to reality and made it the best day of our lives. After working with numerous wedding planners/event staff, coordinators at our venue said "Tammie is absolutely amazing!!!" We are so happy we hired Tammie for florals and wedding planning services. Her bright and bubbly personality, matched with her creativeness and hard work ethic make her the perfect person to work with for your special day.
