One of the BEST decisions we made was to hire Life and Style Events to coordinate our wedding! Following our first meeting with Ty, my stress level dropped to nothing. She was so confident, I immediately knew, "she's got this". Ty is professional, reliable, CALM, flexible, resourceful, organized, kind, experienced, and personable. She was able to see our vision and made it seem effortless to make it happen. Our wedding was beautiful, well orchestrated, and flowed seamlessly. Ty made it everything we imagined and MORE. We wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Ty and Life and Style Events! We are so grateful!

Working with Ty and Life and Style Events has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. Ty and her team are truly invested in making sure our special day went smoothly and was everything we had envisioned. We were able to truly enjoy our day without worry, leaving it all in their hands.

Ty & her team were absolutely AMAZING! My day was easy, breezy, lemon squeezy. I never had to lift a finger. Throughout the planning process, her ideas & organization were unmatched. She is truly in her correct field.
Any questions?

Ty was fantastic! I didn’t have the ability to have a lot of family help, with them being in Florida and me being in Atlanta, but Ty was able to take every idea and dream that I wanted out of my wedding and make it come true! She worked with both my husband and I’s busy schedules and made sure that we stayed within our budget. She is truly a miracle worker!

Ty and the entire team at Life and Style Events operated in excellence on every step of our wedding planning and day of coordination processes.
At the last minute, our wedding was moved to a completely different state, but on our special day, no one could tell that we had such a pivot. The venue was decorated beautifully and all of our guests were enamored with how timely everything was.
Post ceremony, everything moved so smoothly. We signed our marriage license, greeted our guests, and completed our photographs—like a well oiled machine.
My husband and I look back at our photos and smile every time we see the beautiful floral arrangements, my custom bouquet, and everything that was put together on our behalf.
We can’t wait to hire them again for another major, sentimental engagement! Honestly, I wish we could rate them 10 stars!

Our wedding day was the BEST DAY EVER!!! Working with Ty and her staff was amazing. As the bride I was never stressed throughout the entire planning process and my husband was happy because I was happy. Ty listened to everything detail that I wanted and she made it happen – all while staying in our budget. She knew exactly where to find the deals so I would have the wedding of my dreams that we could afford. She even negotiated with the venue that I wanted to bring into our budget. I was so happy! On our wedding day, Ty and her staff were extremely attentive making sure we had everything we needed. Ty and her staff kept everything on schedule and the wedding and reception went perfectly! My husband and I were blown away by the decor of our wedding. I had a picture in my head of how it would look but how Ty and her staff brought it to life was beyond my imagination. Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous! And the food! It was so good! I’m so glad Ty was able to get that venue for us! A lot of our guests were telling us that our wedding was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to. All my guests were amazed by Ty’s work. My husband and I will be forever grateful to God for blessing us with Ty and her staff and giving us our BEST DAY EVER!

Ty started as our wedding planner, and quickly became my friend and confidante. She handled everything impeccably, found us incredible vendors, worked great with all vendors, kept us and our budget in check (lol), never broke a sweat when issues came up, and on the day of, made sure we all had an unforgettable experience. Our guests and friends are still calling us to gush about the wedding! Love you Ty, thank you so much for everything!

Ty is awesome. She worked tirelessly, day and night to create the fairy tale engagement and wedding ceremonies. As the groom, I felt it was my main goal to insure my wife was not overwhelmed during this stressful event at the beginning of our lives' together. With Ty, we felt at ease as she was available just about any time. With a traditional African engagement and also destination wedding in DR there were a lot of moving parts however through her hard work, dedication, and creativity she created exceptional experiences for us and our guests. We love Ty and will never forget her important role at this important time in our lives. We strongly and enthusiastically recommend her for a memorable engagement and wedding experience!!

Ty is phenomenal.
My husband and I have known Ty for quite some time now in different capacities. I as a former employee of hers and he as a poker peer. We had been engaged for a number of years but couldn't quite get our ship moving along. Wedding planning is stressful! We were also nervous about paying for a planner since that was never in our budget before.
Ty is worth every penny.
She met with us multiple times even before signing a contact to make sure we were a good fit. Her patience was a blessing to us. We are an incredibly indecisive couple and she took her time to make sure we were comfortable. She is also incredibly responsive. I can't think of a time where I wasn't able to reach her quickly.
It's difficult to sum up my experience with Ty other than it was the best working relationship I've had. She listened to us, she read between the lines, she held our hands, she was present. Ty throws everything she has into your event. She attended the catering tasting when I had no clue what I was doing, she budgeted exactly how much alcohol I needed to purchase (and the time frame to purchase it) to help stick to our budget, there were multiple late night sessions where she would come to us, she helped select the bridesmaid dresses.
It's also amazing how Ty has the ability to just listen to your vision and then make it come to life. My wedding looked like a dream thanks to Ty's design elements. I was in awe at how simply and beautifully she captured our personality in the design. It was perfect.
I think my favorite part of working with Ty is how at ease she made me feel. Whenever I would start to get stressed out, I could just call her and she would talk me through it. She took control of my dramatic family and made sure everyone knew that the day was about us and us only. When my mom didn't show up to walk me down the aisle she kept her cool and didn't push for any questions. I'm very thankful to her for being able to understand that situation and move forward.
I can go on an on with examples of how Ty is great but you should just experience it for yourself. For the planning period she will become one of your best friends, your mom, your financial advisor, your therapist, and your biggest advocate.
Getting married is a beautiful experience. Getting married with Ty on your team makes it magical.

I could not have asked for a better wedding planner! I was absolutely clueless when it came to planning for my wedding day and Ty made the experience so easy and stress free! Ty was pleasant to work with and our wedding day exceeded anything we could ever imagine! Ty scheduled and attended all of our appointments from bridesmaid dress shopping to tux/wedding dress fittings and food tasting. It was very helpful to have her there to lend her opinion and expertise. Ty was always available to answer our calls or text messages, so we always felt like a priority! Throughout the process, she became like family to us! Ty is truly a gem in personality and professionalism. I highly recommend Ty to anyone planning a wedding and so thankful that she was a part of our wedding day!

The best way I can express how truly grateful we were to have Ty as a part of our special day is to say that she has become like family to us. Looking back, I couldn't imagine having anyone else plan our Wedding! Ty did an amazing job from start to finish. I greatly appreciated her professionalism and expertise...that really helps during the often stressful times that come with planning such an important and emotional event. Our Wedding turned out beautiful, but even more importantly enjoyable! I loved being able to focus on my beautiful bride-to-be knowing that Ty had my back!

Ty was amazing. From start to finish she made sure I didn't skip a beat and that I stayed within budget. She took all the worry away by handling all the logistics of my wedding. Months after my wedding, I still reach out to her about advice and ideas for events. She's so helpful and full of information and knowledge about the industry. Her down-to-earth personality and professionalism was the cherry on top. Highly Recommended!

My husband and I LOVED our experience!!! We didn't know what to expect being kind of young and planning our own wedding , but everything was so perfect! We honestly recommend a "meet and greet" with Ms.Hill prior to your ceremony because we gained information and details on the proceedings that we didn't know about.. we had a really great conversation with her that made us so relaxed and comfortable as if we had known her for years! She was amazing and extremely professional and so personal I couldn't have asked for anything more on our special day! If we ever were to renew our vows in the future we already know who we would go with..😊Thank you again and we are forever greatful for your service!

Our experience working Ty Ellih as our day of coordinator was amazing. We got everything that we expected topped with professionalism, punctuality and caring. From the beginning, our consultation meetings were very organized and focused. Ty did a great job taking all of my DIY materials to the location, coordinating with vendors and making sure that everyone knew where to go. The settings were beautifully placed and every detail was attended to by her and her staff. Our timeline was perfect; we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy every minute. We highly recommend her services to couples like us who want to turn it all over and feel assured that you have the wedding day you always dreamed.

After I proposed I saw how stressed out my fiancé was becoming with balancing everything on her plate and trying to plan our wedding. Then I remembered my co-worker raving about her planner so I got your number and decided to gift you to my fiancé for her first wedding gift. And oh what a gift from God you were. Thank you for taking us on as clients; I know how I went about hiring you was a little unorthodox. Thank you for all your help and making our day special. And most of all for taking care of my Sissy.
Sincerely,
Jonathan (& Sissy) Spires

From the moment we met Ty Ellih in her office, to the moment she said the ceremony begins now, we have been happy and excited with the service we received. I started this journey to my dream wedding, by saying I had no idea what I wanted…then as time went on, I sort of saw a vision…but Ty never blinked she kept Gordon and I on budget and gave us the wedding I dreamed up. Everyone kept asking, “are you stressed?”, and I was waiting for the moment I would turn into bridezilla, but it never happened. Ms. Ellih kept us on track and stated to me and everyone else… “no one upsets my bride, bring the stress to me”. If there were any problems I knew nothing about it and with me having 9 bridesmaids I’m sure there were some. Gordon and I thank you Ty and your team for making this day so far one of the most memorable we have to date. Thank you for making it an evening of elegance, fun, but most of all, love!!!
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Jewel & Gordon Williams

Looking back on our wedding date, we realize the old saying is true -- it takes two to marry and three to plan a wedding. Like most brides-to-be, my wife had visions of her dream wedding in vivid detail. However, we didn't know where to begin. Planning a wedding is hard work! That's when Ty stepped in and helped make our fairytale come true. Seriously, I feel like I slayed the dragon and married the princess. What's even more amazing is that although every detail was carefully planned, the evening turned out to be more than what we could have EVER imagined. From the planning, the facilitation, and the execution, our wedding went off without a hitch (pun intended), and we have Ty and her wonderful staff to thank for making our dream day come true. We love you Ty and thank you for planning our dream wedding and turning it into a signature event to remember.

OMG...THE time of our lives. That is the best way to describe it. From the pre-wedding activities to the ceremony to the reception, absolute ball. I think our parents and family had a better time than us. And the process of planning...thank you thank you thank you. I don't think I would have been able to pull it off without you; between school, work and starting a new business, no. It was seamless and stress free, and you make it seem so easy. Ty you are a genius at what you do. Any couple would be privileged to have you guide their process and day. You hold a special place in my heart and I now call you friend. Thank you for making our day "OURS".

Very rarely can someone take your vision and execute it to perfection leaving you in awe of what your mind created. Ty and her team made this vision possible for us! Our wedding was like a page out of a fairytale book and that is sincerely owed to the work performed by Ty and her team. We were completely calm on the day of the wedding and did not stress about anything. If last minute worries existed...we knew nothing of them because she sheltered us with reassurance, preparedness and joy on our special day. Ty was always available to answer our questions and deal with my "crazy". Because of Ty, we forgot about every dollar spent on our wedding as none of that mattered once we were engulfed in the moment that her team worked tirelessly to create. We are real people and this is a real testimonial written straight from our hearts. We truly do not know how we would have pulled off our wedding without her and have received numerous compliments from our guests. The value of her services far outweighed the actual costs. She is truly a special gift....Thank you Ty!!!!

Ty Ellih and associates, y'all ROCK!!! Thank you for going, often times, above and beyond your duties. I know I hired you for full service, but geeez. I am truly grateful that you were willing to take us on as clients when others wouldn't, I know our budget was tight. We applaud your professionalism and your ability to keep folks in line. We will remember our day forever.
Yours truly,

Soulan and I would like to thank you for providing brilliant guidance, incomparable support, and priceless personal direction with our wedding. It was the best day of our lives and it would not have been possible without your calm and professional services. You were able to see our vision and bring it to life right before our eyes. Your impeccable attention to detail allowed us to relinquish control and trust of the most important event of our lives. It was beautiful and simply perfect.
Thank you for everything.

Team TEWE, a million thank yous is not enough. I cannot imagine how that day would have turned out without you all there. I am still laughing about that bathroom scene minutes before I was due to walk down the aisle. Got real intimate in there; and probably not on the list of services you regularly offer. But that was a memorable moment I’m not likely to forget and a true testament to the extents you will go for your brides. Brides reading this, you will NOT be disappointed with their service; it is impeccable and beyond worth the investment.
Sincerely,
Tiff & Jack

Ty Ellih Weddings & Events was a breath of fresh air for us. Ty and her team truly went above and beyond for us throughout this journey. Their attention to detail and consistency from the beginning all the way until the end we believe transformed our dreams of our special day into something more then we could ever imagine.
We thank you Ty and Team for stepping up, stepping out, and fabulously showing out for us throughout our journey!!

Most people don't expect for weddings, of all events, to start on time. And those were my sentiments as well. But I, and all, were proven wrong. To anyone considering hiring a planner and don't want to wonder or worry about how their special day will turn out, hire Ty and her crew. They were so on point. And always pleasant to work with, through the whole 9 months. So thank you for making our day special.

Themed weddings can really come to a crossroads of cheesy avenue and corny boulevard if you don't know what you're doing, which is where ours was headed if you had not reined us in. Thank you for seeing our vision. It was absolutely gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for more. I know my family can be a bit much, but you are one patient person. I don't know if I could have restrained myself during a couple of those episodes like you, so bravo. My sister got engaged a month after our wedding and if you think you can deal with our family again I know she wants to hire you guys. The second go around should be much easier. And for anybody reading this and looking for a creative, patient, and professional wedding planner, Ty Ellih and her team are IT. They'll get it done....whatever it is.
