Yep, that's me

Hello!

I’m Tara, owner and lead manager of Engaged Event Management. I am a naturally-curly, red-headed, music loving, list making guru as a well as a wife to an IT ninja and a momma to two vivacious little girls.

On top of my years of experience working as an event manager I also hold a BS in business as well as a professional certification in wedding planning and consulting from Temple University.

I’ve been in the wedding industry for several years now with the past 5 years having worked for one of the premier event planning companies in Philadelphia as a lead coordinator and managed close to 100 events. Needless to say, I am not new to this wild and crazy wedding industry that I love.

My passion for bringing people together and my love of the logistics behind what that entails has been present throughout my entire life. I am ecstatic to have found my niche in event management, and I cannot wait to serve you.

Testimonials

Our clients are saying…

"Tara was beyond excellent. Her communication was on point and she did not skip a beat in making our day run smoothly and covered things we didn't even think of. We cannot thank you enough, especially in times like these when things are ever changing with the uncertainty due to COVID. She handled everything with grace and professionalism. We are forever grateful."

"Tara was extremely helpful as my now-husband and I navigated the (many, constant) changes to our plans due to COVID. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and was a calming influence in this very uncertain time. We used her for our small backyard wedding and look forward to working with her again at our larger party in 2021!
