I keep saying over and over again that hiring Tracy and her team was by far the best money I ever spent on anything, ever. Tracy and her team gave me the wedding of my dreams, beyond what I could even imagine. They are simply put, the best of the best. Tracy has impeccable style and taste and understands the ins and outs of this business. Her team, especially Emilie, who was our point person, were SO incredibly organized and on top of everything that all my friends kept saying how calm a bride I was and it was because they legit had everything handled so I didn't need to worry about a thing! Her checklist was my bible and made me feel like I was on top of everything. Plus we were doing all of this across the country and they were always accommodating to hop on a call or talk through anything. The picture below highlights our faces during the reveal of the space because it was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and even better than I could have imagined it. I basically gave Tracy a vision board, talked through what we liked/didn't like and that was it! She made the rest happen in a very raw space and also accommodating an unusual no sit down dinner party. From grandparents to friends and family EVERYONE said this was the best wedding and the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to from the Ceremony site to the Barn. Plus, they were just fun and a delight to work with and were extremely honest, upfront, and consultative to help us also stay within our budget. I only wish Tracy also did home design because I need her too for that and to just make my life and every party I throw that sophisticated, easy, and rememberable. Tracy and her team make dreams happen for your big day which allows you to enjoy and get to experience every moment.

Working with Tracy Taylor Ward and her team was the best experience my husband and I could have imagined for our wedding. Tracy never over-promises but always delivers above and beyond. Her taste level is of the highest quality when it comes to designing sophisticated, timeless events that are also really personal and extremely fun. We trusted Tracy to bring our dream wedding to life (during a global pandemic) and she did just that and more-- always with a smile and huge amounts of empathy and understanding. On our wedding day, things could not have gone more smoothly and the TTWD team handled everything flawlessly. My husband and I and our families were able to enjoy every moment of the day thanks to them. We cannot thank them or recommend them enough! They are simply amazing!

If I can give one piece of advice to any newly engaged couple… team TTWD is the most amazing gift you can give yourselves !! We interviewed many planners before speaking with Tracy. Within five minutes I knew we found the most amazing team. From the moment we started our journey with Tracy and her team, the entire process was a JOY. Our wedding planning experience was stress free - allowing myself and my fiancé to enjoy every second of our engagement. Through Tracy’s detailed questionnaire and amazing design process, she was able to take everything we love - from our favorite movies to the details of our love story and incorporate it in to a vision that simply blew us away. The reveal left us speechless. Our wedding exceeded all of our expectations and blew every single one of our guests away. We only wish we could relive it again and again. They handled every detail leading up to the day and on the day of - giving us time to celebrate with our friends and family, with no added stress or worry. The team exceeded our dreams in every way possible and to top it all off, Tracy and Emilie will forever be two of our favorite people. We will always be grateful for Tracy and the TTWD team. They gave us the wedding of our dreams !!

It is difficult to emphasize how capable and tasteful Tracy and her team are: Tracy’s contract negotiation with vendors would impress an investment banker, her aesthetic would inspire an artist and her organization / schedule would amaze a school teacher. Having high standards but little time, it was critical for my husband and I to find a planner that we trusted to make the small decisions yet the discretion as to when involve us. TTWD truly executed with excellence at the highest standard for the best value. I could not have dreamed up a day as beautiful as the day she carefully crafted for us. And when it was all over we loved her as a friend!

Tracy Taylor Ward Design is the epitome of high class, elegant design and personalized, professional planning for weddings and other events. Tracy and her team helped my husband and me plan and design our wedding about one year in advance. I was drawn to Tracy's service because it offered to plan both the logistics and decor of the wedding. Tracy has such a beautiful eye for understated elegance and design details, which really appealed to me. I was blown away by how beautiful our venue was on the day of our wedding. Because they helped coordinate all our vendors and timeline for the day, everything flowed so smoothly. Many family and friends mentioned it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they've ever been to! Throughout the entire year of planning, I was completely impressed with the team's organization, quick and reliable communication, and recommendations tailored to our personalities and preferences for our wedding.

I can't say enough about how fantastic Tracy and her team are. My husband and I got married in 2014 at the New York Public Library and our wedding would not have been the same, or nearly as memorable, without Tracy. From our very first meeting, Tracy captured our vision perfectly and executed it flawlessly. Her attention to detail is second to none. She presented multiple amazing options within budget for everything, and helped us figure out when spending more would actually add value versus when it wasn't really worth it. To add an extra special touch, Tracy designed a beautiful black and white bar for our reception and a one-of-a-kind fresh flower skirt around the band stage that our guests (and especially my mom!) still talk about. Most importantly, Tracy made me feel like everything was always under control. Working closely together during the planning process, I saw how calm, cool, and confident Tracy is in every situation, and I had complete faith and trust in her on our wedding day that everything would go according to plan. I felt free to actually enjoy the day knowing that Tracy was with us, which was such a gift. As an extra bonus, Tracy became and remains a dear friend. Everyone should be so lucky to have Tracy and the whole TTWD team with them during such a memorable moment in life.

Meredith Thalheimer

A huge thank you to Tracy for the most amazing night of our lives! Years later we still have not forgotten the moment we laid eyes on the incredible room she put together for us. The gorgeous flowers were the highlight, designed by Tracy herself and her amazing team. The wedding was impeccably planned, leaving us completely stress-free the day of. We were so happy with Tracy's attention to detail, hard work and positive attitude. Throughout the wedding, she and the team shared in our joy as if it were their own - you could tell how much they love what they do. We highly recommend Tracy and her team. They are consummate professionals and a joy to work with. -Susan Blank & Meredith Thalheimer

Working with Tracy and her team was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding, second only to the decision to get married in the first place. Living in New York and planning a wedding in Miami seemed daunting at first, but Tracy and her team quickly put me at ease. I never felt stressed throughout the process; they took care of all of the heavy lifting and organization, and I always felt confident that we were on track and even ahead of schedule. They found the perfect vendors to match our taste, all of whom were a joy to work with; they are clearly very well-connected in South Florida in addition to New York, which helped with vendor costs as well. When it came to the design, Tracy took into account everything we said we wanted, but used her own talent to bring it all together in a creative, elegant, and extremely tasteful way. I was, and still am, in awe of how beautiful everything looked. Most importantly, my husband and I were able to enjoy every minute of our wedding day, and it was truly the best of our lives. A few years later, having attended and been a part of many weddings since our own, I can confidently say that no one can compare to Tracy and her team. They are so much more than wedding planners - they are highly organized and experienced professionals, talented designers, and now I am lucky enough to call them dear friends.

Stephanie Sobotka

I could spend all day gushing over Tracy. From the minute we met, I knew she was going to plan and execute the wedding of our dreams. Between her impeccable style, attention to every single detail and her calm and nurturing nature, Tracy made the planning process fun, easy and one we will never forget. She has a way of listening to what her clients want and brings it to life with her incredible touch. It all tied together so beautifully, since the invitations, flowers and decor are all done in house. She was able to transform a loft space and made it completely personalized to us, creating an evening that felt intimate yet grand. She's incredibly organized and takes any wedding day stress away as you quickly realize you're in the most capable and best of hands. We absolutely adore Tracy and her team. We look forward to all future events we throw with the TTW team!

Working with Tracy Taylor Ward Design was an absolute dream for our Blue Hill Stone Barns wedding! Tracy and her team are extremely knowledgeable about every facet of wedding planning (including the venues themselves, music options, design, flowers, paper needs and more) and have an exquisite eye for design. My husband and I worked with Tracy to plan our wedding at Blue Hill Stone Barns a little over a year in advance of the wedding date. We were continually impressed by the team and how seamless Tracy made the entire wedding planning process. Tracy Taylor Ward Design covers every single detail you could imagine to ensure the most fun and least stressful wedding planning possible. Hiring TTWD was the best decision we could have ever made and still marvel over how wonderful everything turned out for our wedding day. We will absolutely be working with Tracy and her team again for future events.

Tracy Taylor Ward Design is a phenomenal wedding/event planner. She and her team planned my daughter’s wedding at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian and reception at The Plaza in NYC. They listened to my daughter’s ideas and created her dream wedding down to every detail. It was classical elegance yet unique to my daughter. Tracy’s team is incredibly creative and turned concepts, thoughts and ideas into the most spectacular and truly magical wedding and reception. Tracy and her team have so much experience selecting the right vendors and handling contracts to ease the stress of pulling everything together. At the wedding there are no worries. Her team is there to make sure everything goes perfectly. They are the BEST!!!!

Ethan Mandelup

Tracy was essential to the success of our wedding, one of the most perfect days my Wife and I have shared in our near ten years of marriage. She has an immaculate sense of style and is quick to cater it to what we imagined as our perfect day. I could not have been happier with the decision to not only use a wedding planner but specifically Tracy Taylor Ward and her team. There were a lot of behind the scenes problem solving and work that went on which I wasn't even aware of until well after the fact that could have easily derailed the event which made me appreciate choosing to go with Tracy. My thinking is that when you get one chance to experience something then it is worth every penny to have her and her team not only help plan the event but more importantly ensure its execution in a worry-free manner. Hopefully I don't need to plan another wedding of my own but for my other important life events or for recommending to other people that are sticklers for attention to detail I cannot recommend Tracy and her team more!

Sarah Morakis

Tracy Taylor Ward Design was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. She made everything smooth and easy for us and our day was absolutely perfect because of her and her team. Besides recommending the best band, creating stunning floral arrangements, and adding unique touches to truly make the wedding "ours", she was incredibly responsive and helpful over all e-mail and in-person communication. Thank you Tracy for being the reason our day was the best day of our lives!

Jamie Reichstein

Tracy's talent knows no bounds. She has impeccable tastes and even better project management skills. Tracy is detail-oriented and maintains strong relationships with vendors and people across the wedding industry and beyond. She was a friend before we hired her to plan, design, and execute our wedding and she's been an even better friend since - almost 10 years later! We would have been lost without Tracy by our side and I beyond impressed by the business she has built since then. You're in solid hands with Tracy and team.

Ellen Helman

I cannot recommend TTWD highly enough. I hired Tracy and her team to plan my two daughters’ weddings, one in NYC and one in Miami Beach 3 years later. Both weddings were simply magical. In addition to having impecable taste, Tracy is extremely competent and professional in all aspects of wedding planning. She knows how to deal with vendors and is very good at negotiating their costs on your behalf. Both of my daughters felt they had the wedding of their dreams thanks to Tracy and I was able to feel like a guest because every little detail was taken care of on the day of each wedding. I have recommended TTWD to a number of friends who ended up hiring Tracy and every one of them was very happy.

Tracy Taylor Ward...is likened to a fast moving, blue sky, summer cloud. I was skeptical of party planners having done my first daughter’s wedding with a different planner the year before contacting Tracy. She exudes calm. After signing, Tracy gives a step instruction by month, then week, then day, then by minute what/when the plan is, all upfront. Her negotiating skills are hard core for this small dynamite of a woman. Budget was THE budget. She thought of ways to take out of categories then add to requested requirements to maintain it. The vendors enjoyed working with her because she is both delightful and professional. I will add our wedding was at a location where everything had to be brought in, including cook station (chef tent) to cutlery. Tracy pulled it off seamlessly. In addition, Tracy is a floral designer. Again, stayed within budget. The flowers were stunning.

Holly Linneman & JT Glaze

Dearest Tracy, THANK YOU so much for everything you did to help our wedding flow smoothly, for making it so beautiful, and for helping us to make it exactly what we wanted :) Your entire team was so helpful and wonderful - we really appreciated all of your work!! As we unexpectedly navigated planning this during a pandemic, you were so incredibly helpful in handling all the logistics and craziness when we postponed our wedding to 2021, and as we moved forward it always helped to talk to you when we were feeling nervous. This would have been a much more stressful process without your guidance! A few specifics: The ceremony was gorgeous. So natural and beautiful, and impactful but not over the top - completely in keeping with our venue’s vibes. The whole reception was just magical. Our guests were wowed, and we loved the way you brought our vision to life. Everything the day of went so smoothly, too — obviously because you and your fantastic team were in charge, but also because we had such excellent vendors working with us in every category who are so incredible at their jobs that we didn’t need to feel nervous about anything. Thank you for helping us find them :) Thank you for helping us have the best, most fun and gorgeous wedding day. More than that, you’ve been such a source of support, advice, expertise, and friendship over the past two years, and your presence throughout this process was absolutely invaluable. We’re so happy that we chose you to work with, and so happy to have you in our lives now!!! Much Love, Holly and JT

Jake Morakis

Tracy is not only the absolute best wedding planner, shes also one of the friendliest and most creative people you will ever meet. She made planning our wedding such a fun experience. She walked us through every step and was transparent and honest all the way through to the end. If you want your wedding to be perfect, Tracy is the one you want planning it.

Lauren Helman Foley

Tracy and her team designed and planned our wedding in 2017 at The Foundry in Long Island City. Simply put, it was perfect! TTWD take the stress out of planning so that you can enjoy your engagement and the whole process. Her eye for design and style is amazing, yet none of her events are cookie-cutter—they really embody the vision of her clients. Since then she has done my sister’s wedding and countless friends—all beautiful events and happy brides! Use her, you won’t regret it!!!

The amazing electric string quartet set such an elegant and joyful mood! The "Philadelphia Freedom" was a delicious and refreshing hit! The cocktail napkins were so cool!! The food was delicious - especially the cheese steaks, dim sum, every appetizer, and the amazing icecream and pie shooters! The florals were exquisite! The lanterns - we were obsessed with the lanterns! OBSESSED! The photographer was so talented and kind. And now to save the best for last - Emilie and Lauren were incredible - truly best in class.

Debra Shore

I very much enjoyed working with Tracy and her staff. They cared about every detail of our daughter's wedding, and especially what was important to us. They were organized and creative and made sure that the wedding was not only beautiful but a smoothly orchestrated event. As a result, we all could enjoy every minute of the wedding. I would definitley work with TTWD again.

I first met Tracy in June of 2019 when we started planning for my original wedding date, March 28, 2020, in Miami. The process and planning in the months leading up to that date was incredibly organized, fun, exciting, and thorough. On March 15th, 2020 (about two weeks from our wedding date) after several tearful phone calls with my parents,Tracy, and the country closing down, it was clear that we had to postpone our wedding. Tracy was there with us through the entire process. She researched options well, offered a level approach to the challenges, and was emotionally supportive. After struggling with the suspended unknown for a few months, it became clear that we needed to change our focus. Early August, we had an incredible and intimate micromony, custom tailored to our new parameters and location. Everything was organized and designed by Tracy. We were thrilled with the results- it was perfect, the fairytale that we were going for. While totally different than our original vision, this intimate, sentimental, romantic, and safe ceremony ended up being more than we would have ever dreamed for. In hindsight, I couldn’t imagine it being any different! Her focus on the details, thoughtful sentiments, personal touches, and high end taste is elite. She truly brings your vision to life and then exceeds it beyond anything you would expect. The design and approach up to the day was no different from if it was a wedding with 300 guests. Her taste is beyond elegant and chic and we were blown away on the day to see our vision come to life! Tracy and her team will be with you every step of the way and will personalize a stunning and elegant Micromony that will be unforgettable.

Tracy and her entire team are the best of the best. Not only did they plan our dream wedding, it's still talked about amongst friends and family as the most memorable wedding they have ever attended. Every detail was considered and executed beautifully. As a bride, it was such a relief not having to think about minutia so that I could focus on other things and really enjoy the most special day/night. From the biggest things (food, music, venue, etc) to decor (flowers, decoration, place settings, photo booths, etc) to paper goods (invitations, table assignments etc), everything was PERFECT. Not to mention that the on site support on the day helped everything go seamlessly. All in all, couldn't possibly recommend Tracy Taylor Ward Design more. If you want the best, hire them.

Stephen Rosenthal

Tracy, Matt and the entire TTWD team worked with us to plan and design a perfect wedding. From the start of the process to the end, the TTWD team was professional, prepared, and committed to understanding, shaping and bringing what we wanted to life. They quickly understood what we wanted and from the flowers to the number of bar tenders, EVERY detail of the night was thoughtfully and intentionally planned, and the aesthetics and experience of the day were jaw dropping. When it came to the classic wedding decision points they brought thoughtful and tasteful recommendations, and they quickly identified the details of the design and the production that would make the day truly feel like our own, like us. They were respectful of our budget, and helped us understand how to make the most impact with every dollar we spent. They were true partners with us, and when we needed our thinking challenged, they tactfully and tastefully talked us through it, in order to help prevent us from making any expensive or logistical mistakes. We always felt like they were on our team, and that they understood exactly where we wanted to go with the wedding. Since then, our family and friends have used them for numerous weddings and parties, every one of which has been a huge success, and if it is ever time to celebrate, the TTWD team is our first call.

Sarah Weiss

Had an amazing experience working with Tracy's team! They were responsive, creative and professional. They made our wedding day so special and seamless. Highly recommend!!!

Melissa Ayre

Tracy, we want to say thank you so much to you and to your entire team (including Matt, thanks Matt!). Our wedding weekend was by far the best weekend of our lives. You took Eric and my disjointed thoughts and ideas and created an event that fit us PERFECTLY (which is really incredible). Your team's attention to detail is unparalleled, there was no part of the event that wasn't impeccable. You went above and beyond at every turn, making it your mission to make sure we were organized, calm, and enjoying ourselves. I was apparently the "least stressed bride ever" and my smile was so big it "hurt to look at". We really have you to thank for that. We also want to thank you for choosing the perfect vendors for us, they matched our personalities, and made the "day of" that much more special. Thank you, truly.

Marshall Weinstein

TTW - Is the best in business. If your looking for the full package in event production, she is your go to. We hired her for our Manhattan wedding at Gotham Hall. It had over 300 people in attendance and not one glitch from the start. I would recommend her 1000%.

Rachel Nollmann

I worked with Tracy for my fall wedding in NYC. My experience was flawless! She’s diligent, organized, and detailed oriented. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else!

Perri Birnbach

Trace and her team are great - really detail oriented and on top of tasks, have a great eye towards design, and know how to make your vision for your event come true. They also understand how to keep you involved in the process but not overwhelm you. Would 100% use for future events!

Katie Blineau

Absolutely LOVE working with Trace and her team. So organized and such beautiful designs. Would highly recommend them as wedding planners!
