Green Building Wedding

Happy Saturday to those planning, celebrating and marrying this weekend.


I'm off this weekend, spending time with my family, but I look back at my busy April with much fondness. Here is a highlight from one of my April events.  This bride is enjoying a quiet moment before her festivities begin. I'll share more from Laura and Zach's wedding in posts to come, but meanwhile thanks to Max Flatow Photography for beautiful photography and quick follow up.

And here's Laura's recap of her wedding and my services, "Tammy provided Coordination services and Welcome Dinner coordination for our April 2013 wedding. She was so easy to work with and we got to enjoy our guests and the celebration knowing that she was taking care of everything. We planned most of the wedding ourselves but a month out decided that we wanted some more help and are so glad she was available.

Beforehand, Tammy was super-helpful in identifying details we hadn't though of, making the arrangements for the Welcome dinner, and advising about decisions about room arrangement, decor, etc. It was also nice to have her in charge and dealing with our other vendors and making sure our wishes were carried out.

On the actual weekend, Tammy was unobtrusive yet observant, always seeing what needed to be done and smoothly making it happen. Our parents were amazed that the everything went so smoothly and I think much of that is thanks to Tammy."

Boston Betrothed

Until today, I've never re-purposed posts from Brooklyn Betrothed here, but with a wedding rehearsal moments away and a message so important it warrants repeating, I am making an exception.

So if you've heard the news and read this message already, please share, tweet, like us on facebook and have a great weekend!

After months of meetings and trips to Massachusetts our sister is born. Welcome to Boston Betrothed and congratulations to all the fine pros who have had a hand in launching the new website today.

This is especially rewarding and significant to me as I initiated this growth as my personal relationship grew more serious and I started to see my wedding planning business expanding.

Brooklyn Betrothed – the concept and collective has been so important to my business and me personally. Thrilled to be partnering with some equally wonderful people in the New England area, I optimistic this fab new crew will accelerate my acclimation to this beautiful new market.

Excited to share my expertise and collaborate with natives of New England, it is truly the perfect compliment to the weddings and clients I plan and enjoy in New York.

If you’re new to the blog you can learn more about me and my new friends here. Brooklyn Betrothed visited Boston a few weeks ago and our very special lunch is featured here.

Thank you for checking out the newest member of our Betrothed family!

Lobsters and Lighthouses

Sunday was a big day- I introduced the expansion of my business.  New England is a market that has grown near and dear to me, so I thought it was time to make if official.  I am so excited to show off my new logo and brand designed by the very fabulous and talented Katie Fischer Design.

Wedding Crashers is an event that is close to my heart and The Green Building is a venue where I really feel at home, so there was no better time or place to share my exciting news.

Thanks to Gabrielle of G! Designs for the beautiful flowers and help laying out my Lobsters & Lighthouses inspiration board. Thanks to Ruth of Papertopias for her darling illustrations and beautiful handwriting. It was a successful, fun and delicious event. For some of my favorites finds check out my full recap of the event on Brooklyn Betrothed.

Thanks to Moss and Isaac for these awesome shots of my details.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Highlights of 2012

I was lucky to work with a variety of cool couples this year. In doing so, I added two new locations to my ever growing list of places I've planned weddings by coordinating weddings in Washington DC and in Connecticut.

Here are some of the highlights of the year.

Elizabeth and James celebrated their wedding at his parents' home in Georgetown. I enjoyed working with local vendors in Washington DC.

Regan and Christophe had a French Fete in the bride's hometown in Connecticut, though they now call Paris home. The rain did not stop the festivities.

Karina and Joe celebrated their wedding at The Green Building in Brooklyn.  90 plus degree temperatures did not prevent this couple from their iconic Brooklyn photographs.

Lauren and Matt were married in Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan. The couple is on the carousel in the park.


Thanks to the clients who were so trusting and fun to work with. Thanks to the venues who made me feel welcome and at home as my team came in to make sure things ran smoothly and looked beautiful. Special thanks to all the  photographers who were so kind and generous to allow me to use their photos.

If you're newly engaged (congratulations!) or planning a wedding for 2013 or 2014 in New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin or some far-flung location, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me an email to tammy@tammygolson.com with your wedding date, location, budget, size and any other details, along with the best way to contact you. Or feel free to give me a call, my direct number is 917.860.3312. I look forward to hearing from you.

Happy New Year!

Massachusetts Wedding

Happy Birthday Michelle!

 

Michelle was a perfect bride-to-be and client and continues to be an amazing supporter and enthusiast of my work and business.

When planning her wedding at Moraine Farm in Beverly, Massachusetts, she constantly challenged me (in the good way that we wedding planners dream of) to be more creative and constantly come up with original and personal ways to make her wedding special and unique to her and her groom. She checked with me before making big decisions, so we were able to monitor their budget while making sure every detail was intentional- not just pretty but purposeful.

I am so grateful to Michelle for hiring me to plan and coordinate her wedding for many reasons. Not only was it a wonderfully creative wedding and an excellent professional opportunity, it took me to Massachusetts which led me to my love and a very optimistic future.

Happy Birthday Michelle, congratulations on your new home and best of luck in the days to come as you and Patrick prepare to welcome your new bundle of goodness. I look forward to meeting the baby and celebrating this next big milestone!

The cookies and pies were provided by Sweet Tooth, the couples favorite local bakery. 

The beautiful photos from their fantastic wedding are courtesy of the amazing Boston based photography team of Studio Nouveau.
