via Google Tara was the glue to our whole wedding planning experience and the best decision we made! We interviewed a handful of planners and when we met with Tara I knew right away that she was the best in DFW. She is calm and collected and has exceptional design and organization skills. I had a hard time narrowing my vision and Tara was able to articulate exactly what I wanted when helping hire and work with vendors. Towards the end of planning, it was like she could read my mind and I trusted her to make decisions without needing to know the details because I was confident that she understood me and wanted nothing short of the best for us. She also mitigates conflict very well (contracts, wedding party, etc.) and manages her work relationships with the perfect blend of professionalism and candor. Look no further for a planner you can trust!!!

Toby Finegoldvia Google HIRE TARA!!! Arguably the most important person, after the couple getting married, is the wedding planner. This is the person that will literally make or break your wedding. Their job is to juggle every single person, vendor, issue, etc. and essentially be perfect doing it. Wedding planning is stressful. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. The difference between a good wedding planner and a great wedding planner can make or break what is supposed to be the best day of your life. To say Tara delivered is an understatement. Our wedding was absolutely incredible. It is so hard to write this review because we do not even know how to correctly put our feelings into words. Tara quarterbacked our entire wedding from start to finish.
Things are going to go wrong when you are planning an event of this nature. Let us tell you, things did go wrong. When they did, Tara kept calm and executed! It was actually unreal how she handled some of the issues that came up that were totally out of her or our control. Throughout the year of planning we would be constantly put at ease every time we had a touch base with her or had to talk out an issue with a vendor. Tara exceeded our expectations in every way, shape, and form. We had a vision and she nailed it. Our one regret was not hiring Tara sooner!

Julie A. Chappellvia Google Tara and her team were nothing short of incredible! I am truly so thankful to have had her guidance and experience when planning my dream wedding. Throughout the year-long process, she was always so inspiring, kind-hearted, patient, understanding, organized, and thoughtful –– especially in those moments of stress and chaos, both wedding-related and just life-related! She always made a point to really get to know me and understand my perspective and wants/needs... not to mention, she was SO organized and it made my type A heart so happy lol. At one point, we had layoffs at my company and it totally threw my mental state for a doozy. I ended up being late to a planning meeting with her due to it and she was so kind – she offered support and even spoke of her own experiences with the ever-changing job industry. Lastly, our wedding was truly a dream come true. Not only did I get to marry the love of my life, but everything that we had been planning over the past year was brought to life in the most perfect and effortless way! On top of that, Tara was such a calming presence on our wedding day. She and her team ran everything so well and worked so seamlessly with all of our vendors. Without Tara, I truly couldn't have made our wedding what it was. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding or event planner in Dallas. She is a gem!

Brooke Ballengeevia Google Tara was the best decision I made in my entire wedding planning process. She made my entire family's lives better throughout the whole process. She has a eye for design and a talent for structure/organization which for me-- are the two most valuable talents in wedding planning. If you're on the fence-- hire her.

I don't even have the words to describe the godsend that is Tara and her Artisan Rose Team. We hired Tara two whole years before our wedding date, and she was incredible every step of the way. From picking out linens, to going back and forth between backup plans and COVID plans. They helped us create and execute the most gorgeous and perfect vision for the biggest day of our lives. Tara was so organized, and helpful. She created a timeline that flowed effortlessly and designed our dream wedding. She was always quick to respond to my thousands of emails, even about the tiniest little thing. When my fiance lost his job 6 months before the wedding, she helped us reconfigure our budget and gave us options that would give us the best quality for the best price. She was there to help calm me down when I had a breakdown on the wedding day, and was always on top of everything. I could go on and on, but I'll just say, if you're looking for a wedding planner or designer, Tara and her team are your people. We could not have had the perfect day without them. We love you!!!
