Events by Tanya

x and rely on them to execute the day and take care of any setup and hiccups. She is super reasonable with pricing which also takes away added stress and answered any texts or questions I had leading up to the wedding. Tanya is also just an all around nice and mellow person that you’ll enjoy having around and won’t add any frantic energy to your process. We got married at Suttons Bay Ciders but she will make most Michigan area weddings happen. Couldn’t recommend enough!

ons whenever I needed, help sort out issues with our other vendors, help decorate and clean up and help make my wedding rehearsal and day go as smoothly as possible! If you’re on the fence about getting a coordinator - DO IT! & Tanya would be the perfect one to make all your wedding dreams come true!

! After meeting with Tanya the first time I could tell I was in over my head and that she was a pro! She had check lists for every month, she helped me back an inspiration board on Pinterest, and she answered all my ridiculous questions with solutions! The week of the wedding Tanya kept me calm telling me not to worry and boy again was she right! She helped me set up, she communicated with all my vendors, she made a timeline and she made sure it all went as planned! I couldn’t tell you if one thing went wrong because she handled it all! If you are considering using Tanya I recommend booking her now! She 110% made my day absolutely perfect!

il and made sure I had everything I could have possibly needed. She worked seamlessly with the other vendors and packed everything up at the end of the night. She had great energy and professionalism. I wish I could have her as a life coach!

enough good things about her and her work! We had a 260 person with 23 tables, a candy/dessert bar, photo opp area with tons of things to set up. Prior to the day of my wedding I had every intention of going to the venue to check things out ahead of time. The day of my wedding I was so calm and knew she had everything covered. She texted or FaceTimed if she had a question. Tanya did an excellent job at making my vision come to life! The venue took forever to bring out dinner, which pushed things back almost an hour. We also had Sparty schedule to come at a specific time so there were many moving parts. She quickly adapted the schedule. She was always on the move, sewing bridesmaids dresses, having hairspray on hand and constantly making sure things were going off without a hitch. I think I could write an essay on how grateful we are to have been able to work with her and would highly recommend any bride work with Tanya! Thank you Tanya for helping make our day perfect!

ommending great vendors and working with us on our timeline so that everything was seamless. Very professional and knowledgable with a fun and positive attitude! Highly recommend Tanya if you are considering a wedding planner or day of coordinator.

anya, everything went according to plan on the big day. During the wedding planning process she kept us organized and on schedule. She came to appointments with us and I truly valued her opinion (she only gave her opinion if we asked, which was really respectful.) Having Tanya around at the wedding was worth every single penny. My husband and I didn't have to do a single thing that day and it's all thanks to her. I can't thank her enough!! You NEED to have Tanya plan your wedding, you won't regret it!

ne without her that day. We weren't sure at first if we needed a day-of coordinator, or what they even really did, but my mother convinced us to hire one. This was the best decision ever! Leading up to the wedding, Tanya and Gina were just amazing at making sure details were in order. They saved us so much stress and time by contacting our vendors for us and making a timeline. Starting with the rehearsal and on the day of, I can't even begin to tell you all of the things that Gina took care of. I now know that it's hard to describe what a day-of coordinator does because they honestly do anything that needs done! There are so many things we know she must have done behind the scenes (probably many things that we don't know about that were wrong that she corrected). Thinking back, I am reflecting on many moments that would have gone wrong if she wasn't there! At the end of the night, it was pretty chaotic. We hadn't set a real plan in motion for what to do with getting everything out of the room , as we thought we would do it with our families, but everyone was still having fun! Gina just stepped right up and packed it all up and made sure everything was good to go. She took all of the pressure off of us and our families and allowed us to really enjoy the entire day. What a disaster it would have been at the end of the night without her! Gina was professional and super sweet. She had a wonderful, calming presence on everyone that came in contact with her. She was organized and had an amazing attention to detail. We can honestly say, she was the best decision of the wedding! Do not hesitate to hire Events by Tanya (we are equally confident that Tanya would have been just as amazing the day of!) The peace of mind, time you save, stress you remove from yourself and those you love, and the amazing way everything seems to seamlessly come together is worth every penny! If we could leave more than 5 stars, we would. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

helpful ! She assisted with our rehearsal the day before and was a huge help with the set up and the taking down of all of our wedding decor. She has a quiet presence, I like that, especially during the wedding and reception. A pretty, young, well put together lady who all throughout, assessed the needs of the bride and groom, and the entire wedding party. I hired a wedding planner for 2 reasons, first, to be an expert in weddings and assist with my daughters’ concerns. Second, to help us make decisions. That, I learned, does not happen! Example: When I couldn’t decide on the linen colors, or chargers, or chairs, or runners , etc. and asked for her opinion, she politely told me that it is whatever WE wanted. She shared reasons why some colors work or don’t, and assisted with visualizing my thoughts. She shared what she’s seen before or sent photos from the internet to help me see the ideas, but get ready to make your own decisions. My linen vendor said the same thing, stating that they have learned not to voice their taste/personal opinions or choose colors, due to past brides being unhappy and then blaming them! Once I figured that out, the next time, I brought a friend with me that has good taste and lots of opinions!! It all worked out beautifully! Could I do a first time wedding without Tanya? No way, I was a deer in headlights at times. It was a great comfort having her on our team.

e-ish unexpected issues on our wedding day: we bought aisle runners and she put them down no problem without telling her about it beforehand, and I forgot to bring our glass for our beer unity ceremony, so she had to get us a new glass and she didn’t flinch at having to do those tasks. She set up the reception room perfectly as well as the ceremony site. She was always punctual and very nice about it when we were not at the venue walkthrough as well as the rehearsal. We also asked her for a vendor recommendation and the place she recommended was excellent!

thout them!

ough the entire process and provided helpful tips along the way, I truly felt like I was reaching out to a friend every time I contacted her. The month of our wedding she reached out to all of our vendors and created a perfect day of timeline, truly taking the stress off of me. Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful and went on without a hitch, I could't have dreamt of a more perfect day. I truly know our day would not have been as perfect as it was without Tanya's expertise, patience and attention to detail. I am so thankful I found Tanya during the beginning of our planning process and I will definitely be recommending her to all of my friends getting married going forward. If you are contemplating hiring a day of coordinator for your wedding, I highly recommend hiring one, you will not be disappointed especially if you hire Tanya :) Thank you again for making our day the most perfect day ever!

at vendor I had never heard of that had linens and expert advice to set my decor and room ambiance apart from others. She even had items I could rent from her that completed the look I was going for. Best of all she was super supportive and responsive which every bride needs.

chigan based wedding coordinator was essential. After reaching out to other wedding planning vendors in the area, I luckily discovered Tanya and I was so glad I did! She went above and beyond our expectations, including finding some time in her busy schedule to meet us in person when we were in town visiting the month prior to our wedding. This visit proved to be crucial because she helped guide us to answer questions we did not even think of. When it came time for our wedding weekend, Tanya and Gina stepped in to help with our Rehearsal Party the night prior to the wedding. When we learned we were short on items such ice and chairs, these girls were more than willing to assist - Something I don’t think all wedding planners would be willing to do - and we were very grateful for the help! During the wedding day, Tanya's attention to detail and calm demeanor are a welcome complement to all of the hustle and bustle. If I had any questions, concerns or needs, silly or not, she responded calmly, kindly and offered up solutions or physically stepped in to help herself. My husband and I truly had the best wedding ever, and we owe so much of that to Tanya and Gina. Thank you ladies!!

handled our big day flawlessly with calm and composure. We did the day of coordination package, but truly Tanya was much more than that. Months before our wedding date she would reach out to check in on the planning, she set up a meeting with us a month prior to wedding to get all the details, she worked with us on a skype call as we live out of state, she put together the entire timeline and connected with all our vendors the month prior to make sure it went perfectly and timely! Tanya attended our rehearsal the night prior and was in town to help us the whole weekend. We couldn't thank her enough for taking the pressure off of us on our day. She made sure we had the BEST time and that our day went perfect! When I was first looking for a day of coordinator it was daunting, I am the first one to get married of my family and friends so I felt a little lost about who to go to. When I found Tanya on the Knot I was so happy to see her wonderful reviews, but I was still nervous as I didn't personally know anyone who had worked with her before. Tanya's pricing is really reasonable for everything you get so a part of me felt like it was too good to be true, but it was most definitely not. Tanya went above and beyond what I ever expected! So if you are nervous about your day like me, rest assured Tanya will exceed your expectations. Just wanted to share that because I know how stressful it is to be a bride and how beneficial it was to have great vendors. Some vendors were better than others and it made us realize how lucky we were to have the vendors who rocked at what they did. Tanya definitely rocks at what she does! Sorry for the crazy long review, but I was just so nervous about the day and she made it perfect and for that I will be forever grateful!

and answered all my questions quickly, effectively and with ease. She is extremely knowledgeable about weddings/events and works well with EVERYONE. I didn’t have a single worry after booking Tanya. Thank you Tanya for making my day run smoothly! ❤️👰🏽💍🤵🏽🎩

in her sights all weekend and handled any issues that came up. She is also very professional I highly recommend her!

n with me and the other venders. She called and confirmed with all the venders and helping parties. We had a DIY wedding and it rained and Tanya made it all run smoothly. We were so impressed with how she truly listened to our vision and had everything so beautifully arranged. She's amazing! Thank you so much!

g. Not only did she asure me I was on track, but she helped me create an itinerary/schedule for the day of as well as remind me of all the little things I had not even thought of!! I definitely left feeling confident knowing I had all the tools I needed to wrap up my plans!!! Only wish I would have booked her sooner and had her plan my whole wedding!!!! 😊😊😊 Do NOT hesitate to contact her if you are doing your own wedding planing, needing a consultant, or a full blown planner! I felt a weight off my shoulders after meeting with her!!!!

was technically hired for "day-of". She made me feel I could bounce questions off her and get her opinions on decorations. She also came through in the final weeks when I had a terrible experience with another vendor and ended up reaching out and taking care of the issue for me! And when it came to rehearsal and the wedding day, I literally felt I didn't have to worry about anything because she was there to deal with any issues that arrived. Both Tanya and Gina were so professional but also made me feel they were just two more of my friends there to help me out and make my day as special as possible. For anyone wondering if a wedding planner is worth it, I would say if you hire Tanya it is 1000% worth it!! Thank you both for helping make my wedding day perfect (I really do credit the day going so perfectly because of all you did!)

agreed, he knew I would get overwhelmed and wanted me to enjoy this experience. Tanya is not only a good friend ours but was the perfect fit for us as a wedding planner. We are a couple that needs direction, a little hand holding, and sometimes a little tough love when it came down to making decisions. We met with her monthly for a year before our wedding and sent countless emails and text messages about even the slightest detail. If I couldn’t find something, she could. If I needed an honest opinion, she gave it to me. She helped me create my vision for the perfect day and then helped make that day a reality! I was so calm on my wedding day that when my bridesmaid were shocked! I attribute part of that to knowing that Tanya was making sure things were going as planned, and making decisions when things weren’t. Our wedding day was the best day ever f our lives and couldn’t have been any more perfect! My husband and I truly feel that without Tanya and her amazing team we wouldn’t have been as lucky! Best decision we made!

prepairing for our day. She did everything she could to make sure everything played out like we wanted. I was nervous about having a ceremony and reception in the same location but Tanya took charge and helped everything transition smoothly. I can not say enough good things about her and how much of a pleasure it was to be able to work with her!

hly enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner/coordinator. Thank you for making this special day relaxing for me- you're the best!!!!!!!

est and not worry about the set up. She did a great job!
