Tyanna is very personable, responsive and flexible. We had changes with our venue and therefore needed to update our contract multiple times with Plan it to the T, and Tyanna was understanding throughout the process. Tyanna advocated to my other vendors regarding my wants and needs for my wedding. She’s great and I would highly recommend her services!! :)

Our advice: Tyanna’s business is appropriately called Plan it to a T. Tyanna can and will capture your vision, make it happen, and handle all of the stress and chaos in between.
Tyanna is timely, professional, organized, patient, creative, consistent, and kind. She and her team will show up and show out. It’s not too good to be true, it’s Tyanna’s passion and it’s incredibly obvious through her work. Whatever you’re worried about with your Wedding/Event/Party - She WILL handle it, communicate the worries and she’ll provide the solutions.
If you’re still on the fence:
Let it be known: we were immediately sold from the moment we sat down at our initial meeting/tasting.
There was structure, creativity, confidence, organization, and clearly Tyanna has a knack for the little details. On our first call, prior to our tasting, Tyanna was interested in the entire event even though we had only planned on using Plan it to a T for catering. She was happy to work with other vendors, but it was obvious she had already put more time and consideration into our major and minor details than 99% of the vendors we had talked to.
We showed up to the tasting to the music we mentioned being played, the colors we said as the table setting, and the food exactly how we wanted for our wedding. It was wild - she brought the vision to life before we even booked with her!
Still, we did not want to seem too eager or naïve, we know the horror stories we’ve heard from fellow couples.
So, we probably did what you may be thinking of doing!
We did the long, stressful, uphill battle (being chased by metaphorical bears it seemed) of planning and coordinating our own wedding, and having several vendors!
That is NOT easier.
If this is your first wedding, it’s not Tyanna’s.
It was my first wedding, and I called her a lot, upset, and amended my contract to slowly build out even more and more services that I needed because I was scammed or the vendor “could no longer provide service”.
The amount of stress I would have missed out had Tyanna Coordinated and Planned the event from the beginning??? Well, then I only would have had the good old fashioned FAMILY stress!
Oh, that reminds me! Wedding Day, when your dysfunctional family is RAGING - Tyanna ALSO HANDLES THAT!!
I will promote Plan it to a T until my dying day. There was nothing they could not handle. If you need to call a person, because you're still on the fence, I will gladly talk to you, pleas contact Plan it to a T/Tyanna for my contact information!
Thank you so much, for everything, Tyanna!
Plan it to the T was definitely the best decision we made for our wedding! From the first phone call we had with Ty to all the numerous texts we sent her, I could always tell she had it all covered. It was such a stress reliever to know that they would take care of different parts of our wedding day. Ty handled absolutely everything from food to table decoration to ceremony and venue setup. She was even there for last minute hiccups. The food was delicious and the venue was transformed after she decorated it. Do not think twice - Plan it to the T will make you life easier and will do it professionally and personably.
Any questions?
While Plan It To a T was good overall and even responded to some last minute requests days before my wedding, my review is colored primarily by 3 things: 1) on the day of my wedding the wind was blowing and food for cold - instead of delaying dinner service, they served cold food and then argued with me and my Maid of Honor about it; 2) during the walk through, Ty did not write anything down and subsequently forgot several details; and 3) they did not think ahead and suggest things like extra tables for favors and gifts, cocktail tables, or an appropriately sized dance floor.
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2022
Hello Jessica,
Thank you for the praise and compliments by you, the wedding guests, planners, and coordinators gave us about the food and service before the wedding, during the wedding, and wedding reception! If there is something we can do to...
make up for anything being less than perfect we would be more than happy to discuss what that looks like over the phone. You can reach me on my cell phone anytime.
Sincerely,
Tyanna
Without a doubt, best choice! Her and the company are truly the whole package. It was extremely convenient to be able to handle all of the services we needed through her, instead of juggling numerous different vendors and trying to coordinate. Her and the team could not possibly be any friendlier and professional. We were working with a very small budget, and she was able to deliver with such small budgeting and honestly deliver way more than any of us expected for our wedding. She very kindly answered all of our insane questions, and always responded immediately. She really made us all feel as if we were the top priority even though I am sure she has many clients at this time of year. I felt so relaxed when the day finally arrived because I did not feel the need to stress over any details since we had so much faith in her and the team. I was able to enjoy the day 100% focused on myself and now husband because of how fantastic her team was with everything. Would absolutely recommend Plan it to the T. She did way more than just our food, but I definitely have to add that their menu has immense variety and was just as good on the wedding day as it was at the tasting, which is hard to do! Very thankful for this company.
Tyanna and her family were great in making our small backyard wedding run smoothly. My husband and I had met with Tyanna beforehand for our delicious tasting. She was helpful in emailing/texting before our wedding. We hired a bartender and servers through their company and our guests said everyone was very friendly. The "Plan it to the T" team also arrived to our house earlier than planned to provide extra time and support in setting up our house/yard! Thank you.
Beyond exceptional service and the decorations were beautiful!
Great people! Very professional and punctual, would definitely recommend for your next event!
I would recommend Plan it to the T for everything. The attention to detail and services was excellent.
This was by far one of the most important events of our lives - Tyanna made us so comfortable with the decisions. She is so good to work with her. Highly recommend.
Tyanna, was great! She took care of all the details from planning, the music quartet, the cuisine, and the decor “fantastic” we were extremely happy with the services of “Plan it to the T”.
