STARR WEDDINGS

Weddings by Tiffany Ruiz

ABOUT TIFFANY

Hi there, I’m Tiffany Ruiz :)

I’m a Brooklyn + Hudson Valley based Wedding Planner/Day Of Coordinator!

With over 8 years experience in the events world, I’ve worked film festivals, catered events, donation auction drives, bookstore author events and even curated my own monthly events (a really fun dinner and a movie installment that ended due to covid). The end of Film + Feast eventually led to my curiosity and the implementation of Starr Weddings. As of Winter 2022, we have been an established wedding coordination business for two years and having done over a dozen of weddings through out Brooklyn alone.

Growing up in both Brooklyn, NY and the Hudson Valley allows me the flexibility of servicing both locations. I know both areas extremely well and have a deep love for both.

On a personal note, I currently reside in Brooklyn, NY (Bushwick) with my fiancé, Keem, and our sweet but mischievous cat Luna. Akeem and I married in the summer of 2023 after 10 years together <3

I LOVE WEDDING PLANNING. I have a strong love for both organization and creativity. Workflows, spreadsheet and project management is my jam - adding in an the element of decor is the icing on the cake for me. These two passions collectively push me to do what I feel I’m best at - create and manage the perfect wedding day for my couples <3

STYLE + DEISGN

I would describe my wedding style as Romantic, Minimalist, Modern and non-traditional. If you’re a ballroom couple, we might not be the best fit if you’re looking for someone to rely on in the design department.

FAQ

Payment for all packages are 50% retainer upon contract signing and the final 50% is due THIRTY days prior to the wedding date.
- Tasks not included in any of the packages are bussing tables, serving food and alcohol, driving vendors or guests.
- Starr Weddings is a wedding planning company and we are not a supplement for other vendors such as florists, photographers, caterers, DJs, etc. We are not responsible for the set up of an outsourced design company
- Additional events related to the wedding (After Party, Welcome Party, etc) are not included but available upon request at an additional fee.
- We do not set up the following: Chairs, tables, linens, dinnerware, cocktail tables, lounge areas - this is typically handled by the catering company or venues
As much as needed for each package! We offer unlimited Zoom meetings via Calendly. In your welcome packet, my calendly page is linked so that you always have the capability of booking time together. Communication is key!
Additional Parties - We no longer service additional parties such as rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, after parties, next day brunch, etc.
Starting in the season of 2023, Starr Weddings will only accept 2-3 weddings per month. We no longer accept more than one wedding per weekend, limiting the amount of weddings we accept a year to 16. This allows us to fully focus and prioritize one couple every 2 weeks.
Typically we do not negotiate vendor rates unless theres a clear and justifiable reason to decrease pricing.
