    We hired Tea through Mostest, and we’re so happy to have worked with her! We had an 87-person restaurant wedding at American Brass in LIC. As our DoC, she was incredible and picked up seamlessly all the things we planned for the wedding. I had put together most of the plans ahead of time, but she came in with suggestions and perfected all the details. I trusted her completely to run the day and also do all the decor setup. She made the venue looks so beautiful without much input from us as we trusted her vision. She coordinated with all the vendors before the wedding and during and they all had very positive things to say about her. She was so thoughtful with the preparations for the wedding and attentive to our needs. She checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we had a drink and anything else while also making sure ran smoothly. She worked well with both of our families and truly has a great personality and spirit for weddings!

    Having Tea as our wedding coordinator was one of the best choices that we made! Leading up to the wedding, she was organized and always checked in on us, but the real benefit was having her there on the big day. She had our venue fully set up and ready to go before the vendor even dropped off the tables and chairs, making everything seamless and efficient. The ceremony was smooth and throughout the reception, she was always on hand to assist. Even when we had last minute issues, she had solutions ready to go and helped alleviate our stress immensely. I can't recommend Tea and Sanctuary Events enough!
