Only regret:  Not hiring Tiffany sooner!
Tiffany provided "day-of" coordination for my March 2007 wedding.  And my only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner!  Words cannot express how fantastic she is!  
It is clear that she puts a great deal of time and energy into her clients. Prior to the wedding she asked questions that I hadn't even considered and provided wonderful solutions to these details I had overlooked.  She even let me borrow a few glass dishes for my candy buffet when we realized we didn't have enough the
night before the wedding!   

She sheltered me from any drama the day of the wedding so that I could truly enjoy the day. Of all of the wedding expenses, Tiffany was invaluable and definitely the most worthwhile.  

20 years from now I may look back on my dress and wonder why; but I will always remember that it was an absolutely perfect day... and that is all thanks to Tiffany!

After much deliberation, we decided to hire a day of coordinator. We are sooo happy that we went with Tiffany. Although we hired her for day of coordination, she went far above and beyond just day of. Considering that we hired her with less than a month to go before the wedding, she was incredibly accessible. She was there any time I had a question about anything. The day of the wedding, Tiffany allowed the timetable to flow seamlessly. Tiffany is priceless!

I met with Tiffany of Great Expectation Events yesterday. We hired her as a day-of
coordinator, but she offers more comprehensive packages as well. I would have
paid the fee just to sit and talk with her because I got so many great tips from her,
things that I never ever thought of (and believe me, I thought I had it covered).

During the meeting you could just tell that she is the kind of person that is cut out
for this kind of service; she will get things done. I feel very confident that if there are
problems on the wedding day, that she will fix them and I will probably never know
about them. She covered all her bases, down to getting the details on any
inner-family or inner-BP conflicts that are sure to arise come that day. I know I will
be able to relax on my wedding day with Tiffany on board.

Tiffany you're WONDERFUL!

I hired Great Expectation Events to be my Day-Of Coordinator for my November, 2007 wedding. Tiffany was wonderful! She made me feel at ease, and kept everyone in line. She also made sure I ate/drank at the reception -- and I'm eternally grateful for that!

I'd say she shielded me from any drama on my wedding day -- but because she did such a fantastic job, I don't even know if there WAS any drama! It was great!

Tiffany is definately an organized, pleasant person to work with -- she is kind, and very helpful. I'd reccommend her to anyone -- from the beginning of their planning (as a long-term planner) down to a day-of coordinator (for just the wedding day!).  Thank you again for all you did!

Thank you so much for all of the compliments. I am happy that you had a great time. :-) We really felt blessed to have such a great day, which was enhanced by such a positive experience with our vendors.

Thank you again for everything!

Tiffany, I would like to thank you for your help on Saturday.  Everything went well though & we luckily missed the rain.  You were great at the hall.  Everything went well.  So that means you did a good job.  Thank you again for making our day so much easier.  Jody was completely against having a coordinator, but she said she was very grateful to have you & that you did a great job.  She was relieved & happy Tommy & I insisted on getting you. 

THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH, 

SINCERELY, DENNY (Mother of the Martins, now)

Tiffany,

Just wanted to say thanks for everything!  We really appreciate all your hard work keeping everything running smoothly on our wedding day.  You did a phenomenal job.  I felt so comfortable knowing you were there.  There were many moments during the day when I looked over and saw you taking care of something.  And I thought to myself "Who would have done that if we didn't have Tiffany?  I am so glad she is here!"

Thanks!!!

"I had a lot of worries going into my wedding day, but Tiffany was not among them. I'm the type of person that stresses out and worries to the point of making myself sick, but with Tiffany involved I felt completely at ease throughout the whole day! I was a mess the day before the wedding, but as soon as I saw and talked to Tiffany at the rehearsal, all my concerns were eased.

My family was expecting me to be a complete basket case, but I knew that if I needed help with something, Tiffany would be there to help me out. My husband said that he is so glad we hired Tiffany because I was able to relax and enjoy the day, which made him be able to relax and enjoy the day. The few things that did pop up throughout the day, Tiffany handled with ease. I was able to completely enjoy my wedding day because Tiffany is so perfect at her job.
Tiffany was extremely professional in how she handled things.

She was also extremely friendly and helpful. There truly is no way to describe how wonderful Tiffany is. There were certain vendors I wish I could replace, but I have no regrets in choosing Tiffany. I am going to recommend her to everyone! She definitely lives up to the name Great Expectations!"

Tiffany Cramer-Ray - Great Expectations Events - A++++++++++++++++++Another fantastic vendor. Towards the beginning of planning she helped us finalize our DJ search which landed us Dan from 5th Ace and closer to the wedding she helped us find Gwen from Creative Cakes, both reviews below. On top of that, she was willing to go ABOVE AND BEYOND with my wedding present from DH, but it fell through at the last minute. At the rehersal she ran it smoothly even with me being an hour late, don't ask. Also at the rehersal we found out that Dan couldn't find my processional song. I given up hope and just said that I'd walked down to whatever. Just before I walked down the aisle, Tiffany told me that she found it and downloaded it and sent it to Dan. Day of the wedding everything went perfect or at least if it wasn't we didn't know about it. Just before leaving the church after the ceremony, I asked her to stop and get me slippers since I left my reception shoes at home. She got me the cutest blue slippers that read "let it snow" on the bottom. It just felt good not having to think about anything from the rehersal on and I couldn't have done it without her.

Tiffany~ Great Expectation Events,
What a great support you were to our wedding. You became an excellent sounding board and had great ideas. It put m eat ease to be able to discuss and share things with you for opinions along the way.

It was nice to have you during the day of our wedding, if anything needed attention you'd be there to take care of it. I was very confident in your ability to handle it. I felt as if you had the perfect combination of understanding and firmness. Everything went off without a hitch (guest shuttle, details, etc.) and that is a credit to Great Expectation Events! Thank you for all you did to make our day all I've ever dreamed it would be!

Many Things,
Leslie and Ben

Tiffany performed "day-of" coordination for us and we never imagined how valued her services would be! She was FANTASTIC! We had 9 kids ranging in age from 18-6 in our wedding and they all have A LOT of energy. She was brilliant at managing them, which was such a huge relief for us and their parents. She's a tremendous asset to have on the most important day of your life! 5 Stars!!!

Tiffany was awesome. She made our wedding day stress free. We would highly recommend her to any couple getting married

Having Tiffany as our "wedding day coordinator" was, without a doubt, the best decision we made of all the vendor's involved in the wedding. Her professionalism, expertise, and etiquette knowledge was apparent throughout the day. The flow of the event was seamless because of her. I would highly recommend her services.
