Introduction: 1. My understanding of how to plan the perfect ceremony and reception.. Many wedding planners are gifted in the reception/party planning stage of the day yet have little experience understanding the nuances of the ceremony itself. I have had years of experience first singing in weddings ceremonies of all denominations and then coordinating such weddings. I truly believe that all are gathered to celebrate the marriage of a very special couple and that happens at the ceremony. 2. I have a very organized, Type-A personality yet know how to establish positive working relationships with my families and all of my service providers. Yes, it is possible to be the 'boss' and lead in a kind & assertive manner. We all know too well that bossy person that everyone ends up hating by the end of the event. I am NOT that person. 3. Years of experience as a professional wedding coordinator in the Midwest prior to moving to Arizona have led to many perfect weddings:) 4. Understanding the importance of being involved in professional organizations such as the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) in order to network with other wedding professionals and perfect your skills. I believe that many planners overlook this very important step. I love getting to know the families of the bride & groom during the planning process. I love seeing the day unfold in all of it's perfection. I love taking off my shoes because my feet hurt at the end of a long, yet satisfying day. I love when the bride & groom tell me that I am like family. I love when the father of the bride hugs me at the end of the day and tells me I am the best thing he could have done for his wife and his daughter so that they could relax and enjoy the day:)

I had the pleasure of being the first wedding on this beautiful property! After much hunting in Phoenix and Sedona for a wedding planner/venue, I was to my wit's end. As a busy student in graduate school and many other time consuming things, I thought this wedding would never happen. As a last resort, I put an ad on Thumbtack and got responses back from about 4 different vendors, but after speaking with Tambrala, I knew she was the ONE! Since I live in Phoenix, she did all of the dirty work, kept me on a schedule, and really understood my idea process and tastes within a matter of minutes. We had an elegant, relaxed, fun brunch wedding on a Sunday. Tambrala made sure everything was perfect! Our guests kept remarking about how beautiful the venue was, and how they didn't want to leave! (and they really didn't, since the whole family hung out about 3 hours ATFER the whole shebang was supposed to be over). The layout was perfect for pictures and guests. We made use of every nook and cranny, and I was pleased to see guests mingling, walking around the grounds, and even sitting back and relaxing in the rocking chairs on the porch. I could never have imagined a more perfect day with a such an amazing planner/friend. I would change nothing!! The value of the whole weekend more than exceeded my expectations. Tumbrel has the hook-up when it comes to knowing the best vendors (with the best personalities) and she is efficient, clear, and kept the wedding train running smoothly. If you're looking for an easy wedding planning process, with a great host, hire Tambrala! She's truly the greatest!

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been singing in weddings since my high school years. As the Wedding Singer (Hmmm, someone should make a movie about that) I attended every rehearsal, ceremony and reception so was able to witness a lot of things - good & bad. Rehearsals were often quite unorganized and I found myself helping couples figure out how to process, where (and how) to stand at the 'altar', how to recess, how to seat parents, ..... based on my knowledge. As the wedding day unfolded I often saw ceremonies starting late, guests having to wait for way-too-long with nothing to do while a photographer monopolized the time of the wedding party, reception food get cold because nobody was seated at the time the caterer was told to be ready, a DJ who was completely inept at keeping a party going....... You get the picture. I always felt horrible for the Bride (Sorry grooms to be, you are important too) and vowed that would never happen in weddings in which I was the Wedding Singer. AND I knew a lot of money was spent on providers who were not necessarily good at their jobs. Thus, during music planning meetings I also became the Wedding Planner (Hmmm, another movie idea?). It also helps that I am an organized, Type-A personality who must have perfection. EVERY couple deserves their dream wedding without any regrets!!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
First and foremost, meet with the wedding planner first to find out if your personalities click. You will be spending a lot of time together and you need to like each other. You also need to get a feel for whether or not you can trust that person as he/she will be responsible for making sure everything goes well. Oh yea, and make sure that the wedding planner is doing what YOU want to do and not what he/she thinks you should do.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
If the day looked flawless (as it should) then that meant you had a great wedding planner. Flawless takes A LOT of work behind the scenes.
