I just got married on Mackinac Island and hired Tyanna as a day-of coordinator. She was incredible. I didn't have any stress the day before or the day of the wedding. She completely goes above and beyond her duties. Anytime I needed her, she would just magically appear. My wedding party and other vendors mentioned how much they liked working with her. I would highly suggest bringing her in for those little details that other vendors don't do and you, as the bride, don't want to stress about. She handled any issues with setup like a pro and made my vision happen. She made our wedding day flawless and I know it wasn't easy. She is willing to run any errands that you need. I would highly suggest working with Tyanna!
There aren't enough words to say how amazing Tyanna is. She went above and beyond for my wife and I. Our wedding day was perfect, ahead of schedule all day, and stress-free for my wife and I. Tyanna answered all of our questions during the planning process, helped us create the perfect timeline, fine tuned our details, and coordinated with our other vendors. She was so organized, kind, and reassuring on our wedding day. We could relax and enjoy the day knowing she had everything handled!
Tyanna was an absolutely dream to work with. She came in at the right time! She is a wedding angel. She is a professional who provides honest feedback to ensure that your event goes off with our a hitch. Would absolutely work with her again!

Amy, it was my absolute pleasure to work with you guys! I hope Lindsay and Mitchell enjoyed their special day and I hope you and the rest of the family were able to as well!
Any questions?
Absolutely amazing to work with!! Made everything leading up to the wedding day and the wedding day go so smoothly. Handled all typical wedding stress/issues with ease and professionalism. Incredibly experienced. Would 100% recommend, wonderful to work with.
There are not enough words to express how amazing Tyanna is. Everything she did for our big day went over and above. Everyone came up to us and said how wonderful of a job she did throughout the entire event.
She was extremely well organized, efficient, made everything from the rehearsal to the actual day run incredibly smooth. She was hard working and there wasn't one element of the day where we had an issue. AND if there was, we didn't know about it at all.
All of the complements that we have received have been super positive. I highly recommend Tyanna. She was incredible!

I couldn't recommend Tyanna from Light the Way Events enough. She was the reason my wedding was absolutely beautiful and everything I ever wanted. Not only did she handle everything with our decorations and our timeline, she truly cared about every detail of the day. I would work with Tyanna over and over again. Thank you for everything!!

Molli, thank you so much for your kind words! You guys were amazing to work with and such a fun group! I have yet to see a group with dance moves as great as those of your guests—so fun!!! I hope you and Thomas are enjoying every moment of m...
arried life so far! Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special day.
Tyanna was an exceptional day of coordinator. She truly went above and beyond for us. Her support during the weeks leading up to the wedding was critical for the planning process and for my mental health! She was consistently checking in with me to see what she could help with, sat on numerous calls with me with vendors, provided support and guidance on the timeline, layout, and any other questions that came up throughout the process. She was extremely responsive throughout the whole planning process. She picked up desserts for us and helped set up our welcome dinner in addition to the day of services, which weren't necessarily part of the package. She built us an arch. She always had a positive attitude and approached all problems with the attitude that we can figure it out! She was truly the best vendor we worked with and I would highly recommend her services to anyone considering hiring her.

Jessica, thank you! It was my pleasure to work with you guys and that view for the ceremony was so beautiful...and your vows were so sweet! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. :)
Choosing to work with Tyanna was the best decision we made for our wedding!! This is not an exaggeration. We originally were not going to hire a planner or coordinator. We eventually realized we wanted someone to be the point of contact in case something went wrong so that we wouldn’t need to rely on family and friends. We met with several planners/coordinators but didn’t click with any until we met with Tyanna. She was our day of coordinator but she really went above and beyond! Throughout planning, especially the last few months, she helped us pull together all of the details. Her layout, timeline, and detailed questionnaire sheets are so thorough and will make sure you do not miss anything. For example, we decided on a layout with a sweetheart table in front of a window. Many pictures we found online of our venue had curtains over the windows so we thought this would be ok. Without asking, Tyanna reached out to the vendor to check since she understood our vision and she found that they were not standard, so we were able to get a backdrop to complete our vision. Without Tyanna we would not have known this until the day of the wedding! Even if you do miss something, don’t worry because she will have you covered!! I forgot the pie servers and she had a spare set! It was such a relief on our wedding day that I knew I could trust Tyanna to help make everything go smoothly. Even if you are not sure if you want a planner/coordinator, definitely consider working with Tyanna!

Katie, thank you so much for your kind words! It was my honor to get to work with you guys. You are such a sweet couple and I hope you are enjoying married life!!! Congratulations again!
Tyanna was amazing from start to finish! I had already done a lot of planning and after a few calls she was able to seamlessly take over and pull everything together. She provided a lot of support in the stressful final weeks, even doing walkthroughs at the venue for me as I live downstate. Tyanna worked the entire day to make sure the wedding was fun, relaxing, and everything we wanted! She was a true professional and helped me pull off an amazing day!

Tyanna is beyond amazing. I can’t put words to how helpful and impactful she was for our day. She knows weddings & events and had the ability to both understand our vision and provide guidance on how to make it come together. I’d strongly recommend her business!

Thank you so much! You guys were amazing to work with and just so creative—truly was my pleasure to help!
I couldn’t have done it without her. She was helpful for everything from planning, keeping me on schedule, setting up and after wedding madness. I could text her any time of day and she would have a quick response. Even if it was late at night, she would respond early in the morning. I have bad anxiety and she kept me calm and collected in my thoughts. During the wedding weekend, she solved any problem with ease. She took the extra fresh flowers I had and arranged them beautifully. The tent looked like a fairytale when I arrived at the reception. I could praise Tyanna for hours on how amazing she is at what she does and how wonderful she is as a person. ❤️ Forever grateful for you, Tyanna - Mr. & Mrs. KEYS 😍✨

I live in Bellaire, MI with my daughter. We are lovers of all things outdoors, including hanging out with our furry and feathered family members. We love taking trips and exploring new places!
I have always loved planning, organizing, and managing events, so I decided to go back to school to enhance these skills. I graduated from Ferris State University, earning a bachelors. After graduating, I began working as a Venue Coordinator at a premier wedding venue to gain experience. Weddings were not in my original plans, but I fell in love with them! This is how Light the Way Events was born!
