A Perfect Setting

Just when I though that things weren't going to fall into place, they did! Tamieka Jones was by my side through snow and rain to make sure that things went our way. She was open to suggestions and stuck firmly through with her game plan. there was alot of improvising that needed to be done through out our planning because of the venue. We had a wedding in a regular Romanian restaurant that wasnt to cooperative and easy going, But when Tamieka Jones was done with them, the place was transformed into a Dream. I couldn't believe the out coem and 2 weeks later people are still complimenting the overall wedding. Even the owner of the Restaurant said that was the best wediing by far that they had there. You can say I'm blessed for having a winter storm hit in October on our wedding day,lol.

Hiring Tamieka was by far, one of the best decisions that I made when planning my wedding!! A lot of brides assume that they can "do it all" with the help of family members and DIY websites; I was certainly one of those brides, until I realized that I could not pull everything off alone; I realized that I needed the assistance of a PROFESSIONAL to ensure that all of my hard work paid off on my special day (i'm a picky pefectionistl) . During my preliminary/consultation meeting with Tamieka, I was sold! She was very honest, patient, and thorough; she got my vision and she got me as a bride! Within a day, I hired her to coordinate my wedding day! Indeed, Tamieka exceeded my (and my husband's) expectations with her professionalism, compassion, responsiveness, attention to detail, awesome advice, organizational skills, and great sense of humor (trust me, it helps when you're planning a wedding and feeling overwhelmed with details). If you are still trying to decide who to hire, don't look any further. Tamieka is the best and everyone in the industry (including my very particular minister/mentor) enjoys working with her.

Tamieka Jones helped me to organize my vendors and things that I did not even think about. She stayed on top of all and every issue on the day of the wedding so that me and my husband could fully enjoyed our day without worrying. I had and still have no idea of what went on behind the scenes that day. All I know is that A Perfect Setting created a Perfect Day for us. Thank you sooooo much, Tamieka Jones for your expertise. I could not have had such a beautiful wedding without you.

Tamieka- was wonderful.She was able to work with my budget!That counted the most.When it came down to the flowers she made a referral for me and they were also ablt to work w/ my budget.She gave her honest opinions suggests/comments.She made my day memorable and yes it was on a budget!!!!!

Ms. Tamieka Jones, You are wonderful, and beautiful, both inside and out. Andrew and I were so grateful to have both you and Simone by our side the entire day. Thank you for being so tolerant of me and the rest of my clan, we know we are a handful. Everyone was saying I was the calmest Bride they had ever seen, if only they knew you were my little secret. You have definitely built a fan club with the entire family. Actually, we voted and you are officially part of the family. Thanks Again for Everything We love you Angie

Getting a wedding planner for the day was a great decision and I am grateful for all the help and support our planner, Tamieka, provided. She is friendly, professional, organized, and even helped me to get last minute transportation and flowers-at a discount! I was able to enjoy my wedding and reception knowing that she was in control and looking out for everything. Whenever a problem occurred Tamieka was there to efficiently eliminate it. When we left the reception, the car was packed and ready waiting for us and she stayed behind to assist our guests departure. I highly recommend Tamieka and would work with her again for any special event in the future.

I did all my research and booked vendors myself so that was that so to speak. Yet something was missing. This was my wedding and I wanted it to be fabulous! I wanted to enjoy it ! Four months before my wedding, against my fiance's wishes I hired Tamieka Jones of A Perfect Setting for day of direction services. This included things such as reviewing decor details, conduct the wedding rehearsal, confirm all vendor contracts and arrangements, and reviewing guest list and seating arrangement assistance. I must say one of the best things about working with Tamieka was that she was very honest about my vision for my ceremony. I remember she asked me "How do you envision your wedding day?" I had a few ideas but was really "iffy" about some of my thoughts so she gave me the pros and cons as well as offered some suggestions. She streamlined my vendor selection and worked very closely with them. I was fascinated with the fact that most of my vendors knew who she was and spoke highly about her to me.I found it amazing that I selected my vendors way before she was brought into the picture. This worked out for me because she was able to share some experiences that she had with them and knew what would work for my event. She scheduled our appointments based on our availability. this was very important to us because my fiance and i have hectic work schedules. A Perfect Setting states that their work for day of direction services begins four to six weeks before the wedding, this is definitely not true.i consulted and booked Tamika around late April for my wedding which took place the first week in July. From the time we booked til the night before she was on the go. Tamieka's professionalism was shown in every aspect.I can remember people warning me that I would not enjoy my wedding day because I would have to run around and make sure everything was taken care of. This was not the case at all I felt like a guest at my own wedding I can remember everything from beginning to end.I sat back and cuddled with my husband and shared laughs with my guests. I am still amazed at how smoothly everything went. What surprised me the most was how impresssed my husband was with Tamieka's services (after all he insisted that we had everything under control and that a planner wasn't necessary). Tamieka was always available when I needed her. I never felt that she was "unaccessible" to me. She was my psychiatrist when my bridesmaids and the rest of the world drove me nuts during my planning, but most of all she became a friend. I can't wait until she starts planning my daughter's sweet 16 because she can do it all !!!!!

I only have one word EXCELLENT, even when I became a bit Bridezzilla, she stayed professional. Thanks Tamika, may the Lord continue to Bless you.

A Perfect Setting Wedding and Events, Inc is the reason why our wedding day was a dream come true from the very first moment to the very last good-night. APSWE exceeded our expectations and clearly went above and beyond what we had hoped for. They were 100% responsible for our amazing wedding day. They provided us with top notch services from planning, collaborating, providing their expertise, feedback, and true professionalism. Our planner, Tamieka L. Jones, took the time to get to know my husband and I which allowed her the ability to create and implement our vision for our perfect wedding day. She listened to the details that we wanted to create for our “out of the box” wedding, and in return she was able to create exactly the experience we wanted our guests to have and to surround our union. Getting to know us really well gave her the ability to understand our vision and support decision making during the planning process and on the day of the event. She was able to recommend high quality vendors that met the requirements of our budget. In addition, she provided budget analysis and management. What I appreciated the most was Tamieka’s consistent and constant availability to us as we planned our wedding day. She became my best friend, my sister, and at times my mother during a time when I needed the support, advice, and feedback from a trusted person. Like a good friend or family member, she was always there for me throughout the planning process. I will always remember the trip with her into the city to purchase the supplies for the beautiful centerpieces she designed, her attendance during the signing of contracts with vendors, and the flawless timeline she created. We received so many compliments from family and friends regarding the fine details they saw at our wedding which made it stand out from other weddings they had experienced. Tamieka guided us from the color scheme choice of our wedding, turquoise and platinum, to the fine details that were consistent from our invitations, programs, hotel bags, escort cards, linens, table numbers and sparkling cake topper and cutting set. She gave us amazing décor that fit our budget. My husband and I are traditional, yet contemporary. Tamieka was able to create a “Modern Classic” wedding that was a complete reflection of our style, personalities, and values. Guests were amazed at the attention to the fine details. Tamieka showed true leadership during our wedding rehearsal, in the implementation of the wedding day timeline, and the direction of the ceremony. This allowed us to relax and enjoy our day. We did not feel like we had to manage our vendors the night of the wedding. Rather, due to Tamieka and her assistant, we felt like guests of honor at our own party, with no worries. They shielded us from any mishap that may have occurred and took care of everything to ensure that we just had fun! I would highly recommend APSWE to any bride who is trying her best to plan her dream wedding day. APSWE enabled us to create every detail of our vision, enjoy our day, and have a truly haute couture wedding. We owe the beauty of our day and ease of our experience to APSWE. We have become such good friends with Tamieka and still consult with her for after wedding advice on thank you cards, albums, and dress preservation. We consider her to be part of the family. We can not thank APSWE and Tamieka enough!

A Perfect Setting Wedding and Events, Inc. made my wedding an experience that shall not soon be forgotten! Tamieka worked closely with us to ensure that our day was absolutely perfect. My husband and I were impressed by Tamieka and her ability to own and operate such a wonderful business, except you would never know that she was running a business because she always treated us like family. Tamieka is extremely organized, knowledgeable, well known in the industry and above all else has an easy going personality. Tamieka made sure that our event was exactly as we had always envisioned. Thank you Tamieka and Deborah, you two are wonderful, and it is because of your help that our day was flawless. We appreciate the time, and attention to detail that you paid to us and our guests, and without you we would have never been able to make our day as perfect and easy going as you did. Again, thank you so much for everything that you have done to make our wedding day truly A Perfect Setting!

Ms.T Jones and her staff were EXCELLENT !!! All of her services that she provided were also excellent and very on point. Ms. Jones always made sure everything was confirmed and even contacted all of our vendors and was there for appt meetings with us to make sure all points of interest were clear and forthcoming. We personally will recommend Ms.Jones and her Staff to all of our family and friends- better yet, keep in contact with her for all of our future planning events. We wish very much to see Ms.Jones and her business excel to higher and greater places. Ms.Jones' price for her services was well worth the money. She truly helped make our day special.** Did I mention, Ms.Jones will make your event have great WOW!!! effects.

Tamieka was professional from the planning to the execution of our wedding. She paid attention to minor details and was available for qustions or consultation at our request. My husband and I would definitely recommend her services.

Hi Tamieka, Robert and I want to say thank you for everything from the bottom of our hearts. I must say I was impressed with your follow up skills! You are efficient!! I'm really glad that we had the opportunity to work together. It felt great to have such positive evergy around us. Great job!! Thanks again Sincerely, Carol and Robert Stewart

Great service, vey professional!

Our wedding planner was Tamieka L. Jones and she was FANTASTIC! I hired her for day of services and she helped to make the day run smoothly. Her attention to detail, responsiveness and supportive attitude was just what I needed. She was professional and an absolute joy to work with. With her assistance my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our special day, we knew Tamieka would take care of everything. Even my friends and family noticed the level of her service and told me what a great job she did. I would totally recommend Tamieka to anyone in need of wedding or event planning services.

APS was very responsive, accomodating and professional.

A Perfect Setting Wedding & Events, Inc. is the ultimate planner. The service was professional, intimate, fun and accommodating to your every wish. Suggestions were offered and taken as we hadn't realized the small details that go into planning such an event. The Event planner was very, very accommodating, picked up the necessary items that were ordered and needed. On the day of the wedding when I walked into the restaurant, I was almost in tears. Everything was done so beautifully and the entire restaurant looked like a picture out of a magazine.The wedding/reception went off without a hitch and the Event planner was always there to make certain of this. The DJ that was recommended was spectacular. And if I ever get married (mother of the bride) I would without a doubt use A Perfect Setting & Events, Inc. There are just not enough words for what this event planner did. and In her words she said to me: "Ms Dozier, I don't want you to worry about anything and just have a good time at your daughters' wedding." FYI: After the wedding was over, for the splendid job that was done, I gave an additional tip to A Perfect Setting. Upon arriving home after the wedding, there were 12 messages on my answering machine all of which congratulated me on the wedding; the atmosphere, music and just how wonderful things had gone.

Planning a destination wedding can be quite the daunting task. There are so many opportunities to make poor choices (when you�re not there in person) - any combination of which could spell disaster for one of the most important days in a couple�s life. Words cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for the work Tamieka Jones of A Perfect Setting, Inc. did to not only to make our wedding an absolutely flawless event, but in many ways to exceed our expectations. Because of her patience and attention to detail our wedding day in White Plains, NY was one of most stress-free and memorable days we�ve shared. From our very first phone conversation with Tamieka to just days before the wedding, she continually provided us with what we needed to make the most informed choices possible. And her sensitivity to our specific wants and needs helped to assure us some 3,000 miles away that we would be having nothing less than the wedding we had both dreamed of. On the day of the wedding, Tamieka literally broke a sweat to ensure that everything went off without a hitch and that all who attended had an absolutely fabulous time. The time and attention she provided along the way (from the extensive field research to find the �perfect setting� to negotiating with the vendors) communicates to us the level of commitment in which she operates. The integrity of her work is unmatched. Any couple would be truly blessed to have Tamieka as their wedding consultant.

A perfect Setting is more than just a "Wedding planning" company. Tamieka Jones goes above and beyond to ensure the perfect wedding. We had a few family emergencies the same year as my wedding and I don't know what I would've done if Tamieka and her team weren't there to support my family...they did so many extras to ensure a perfect day. I highly highly recommend them for weddings are any other events, you can rest easy knowing that A Perfect Setting is taking care of anything and everything.

Working with A Perfect Setting Wedding and Events, INC. was by far the best investment my husband and I made when it came to planning our wedding. They went above and beyond our expectations. They helped us plan the wedding of our dreams and kept us within our budget. Our planner Tamieka was with us every step of the way. She was with us from start to finish. Her attention to detail is nothing short of amazing.
