About
Meet Your Planner
Hi, I'm Tara! I'm a wife, a mom of three, and the heart behind Grant Your Wish Weddings. When I'm not chasing after my little ones, I'm helping couples plan and coordinate the wedding day of their dreams right here in Austin, Texas.
Honestly, I kind of fell into this industry after planning my own wedding. I realized just how much I loved every single detail: the timelines, the vendor coordination, the creative problem-solving, all of it. Friends and family started asking for help with their weddings, and before I knew it, Grant Your Wish Weddings was born.
Whether you need someone to plan your wedding from scratch or step in to coordinate all the moving pieces on the big day, I've got you. My goal is simple: I want you to actually enjoy your wedding day, not spend it stressing over logistics. I handle the behind-the-scenes chaos so you can be fully present for every moment that matters.
I'd love to hear about your vision. Let's make it happen!

Education
What Is Day-Of Coordination?
And do I really need it?
If you've been planning your wedding and wondering whether you need a coordinator, you're not alone. Let's clear up the confusion.
It's not just "day of"
Despite the name, day-of coordination actually starts weeks before your wedding. Your coordinator reviews contracts, builds timelines, confirms with vendors, and creates a master plan so that by the time your wedding day arrives, every detail is handled.
Coordinator vs. Planner — what's the difference?
A wedding planner helps you plan from scratch by finding venues, choosing vendors, and building a vision. A day-of coordinator takes the plan you've already built and makes sure it runs flawlessly. Think of it this way: you're the architect, and I'm the general contractor.
"But my venue has a coordinator..."
Your venue coordinator works for the venue. They manage the space, catering, and house rules. Your wedding coordinator works for you, managing your timeline, your vendors, your family, and everything in between. They're complementary roles, not the same thing.
Who needs a day-of coordinator?
If you've been planning your own wedding, if you have multiple vendors to manage, if you want to actually enjoy your wedding day instead of putting out fires, then a day-of coordinator is for you. Your guests, your wedding party, and your future spouse will thank you.
