Serendipity Events by Tina

na was amazing and so professional. Very organized and always thought of the little things. Chance and I really , really appreciate her and her assistant in getting us through the wedding day. Highly recommend Serendipity Events by Tina for your wedding planning.

t and not distracted or burdened by logistics. We also felt there were things we had probably not thought about it, in the planning process, and that Tina’s expertise would be valuable. And it truly was! She sent us a checklist / action list of all we needed to do for our big day. She answered many questions, offered vendor assistance as needed, and we feel went above-and-beyond, before our wedding. The day of, she and her team worked to make our dream day a reality. We couldn’t have done it without them! I did not have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding, and Tina’s help truly made it special. She is professional, kind, calm, wise, knowledgeable, and fun! Fully worth the investment. We can’t recommend this vendor enough!

ion with vendors and made sure to re confirm the details with all of them. Her attention to detail on the day was perfection. There was an issue with a vendor getting the delivery address wrong and she fixed it so quickly I didn’t even know about it until someone told me the next day! If there were any issues I had no idea because she solved them immediately. Cannot say thank you enough for making my big day perfect!

was able to give us some great recommendations and talk us through considerations we would never have thought of ourselves. Having her there on the day of was such a relief to know someone was handling all the details so we could relax and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend!

the wedding, but also have incredible patience when dealing with the family members of the wedding party. She was the first to arrive and always the last to leave. Highly recommended!

omeone to lead the ship. She and her team did an incredible job organizing vendors, beautifying the venue, directing our wedding party, and cleaning up afterward. If you want your wedding day to be stress-free and to focus on the love you have for one another, you need their services.

ss the service/product/event was absolutely superlative or completely horrendous. I can state without hesitation or exaggeration this wedding was the nicest of any I have ever attended. As I am a senior, I have been to many. This was a more complex wedding to put together, as it was conducted in two languages and heavily incorporated the wedding customs and practices of two cultures - Jewish and Vietnamese. Everything came off without a hitch. Tina could not have done a better job and assembled an equally impressive cast of supporting players and contractors (caterers, bar operation, the photo people, etc.). Everybody at my table was commenting on what a wonderful job was being done by all of the service providers Tina assembled a great crew. It made for a wonderful evening for all in attendance.

to respond and offer ideas about how we could make our vision a reality. In addition to being organized and responsive, Tina is fun, creative, and eager to incorporate unique elements to any event. We love how enthusiastic she was to help us plan our interfaith, science themed wedding! We HIGHLY recommend Serendipity Events by Tina to anyone and everyone planning an event!!

a spectators point of view. Run, dont walk to hire Tina and her staff for your next event!

sure all were on point. She checked in throughout the year of planning to see if we needed anything. She reworked our timetable numerous times due to last minute changes. On the day of the wedding, as the mother of the bride, I was able to relax and enjoy the day once Tina and Sophia arrived. The reception went so smoothly. EVERYONE who came gave me the feedback that it was the best wedding they ever attended! Tina graciously handled my one unknown gluten allergy guest, and even dropped all the extra alcohol, which we forgot, off at my hotel as she left the venue. I highly recommend her if you want a stress free event!

ned and more! Tina was extremely pleasant to work with and very organized and spent a lot of time helping me. She’s the best!

m marking spots to where the bridal party was to stand, to helping us with hotel room blocks, to helping decorate the venue, to having a day of checklist for items not to forget.... I could go on forever. We would hire her all over again! Thank You Tina and Sophia for all you did to make Mikayla and Joshua's day so special.

nd Rebecca. We had two because both were in and out of town during our preparations. The initial back and forth wasn't great, so I suggest you make sure whoever you get is going to be around as "your person" the entire time. We were warned, and we agreed it would be OK. It's just something to check. In the end, the wedding was a complete success though! All of the vendors showed up, everyone looked nice, and the vendors they suggested were wonderful. This is the reason for the five stars because the end result was awesome. Rebecca really does shine on the big day, and so did her assistants. They also kept us on track with to-do lists for each month, which I found extremely helpful. We also had multiple Zoom meetings, which for the most part went well, although on a few of them I knew no one had read the emails I had sent prior. I can be long winded, as you can see here, so perhaps that's on me. It's important to call out this though; at our first meeting, before we paid the deposit and such, we made sure to say that we were extremely busy people, and that we needed someone to do "just about everything". We were assured they would indeed take care of "everything" since we were purchasing the full package. I want future brides and grooms to know that this isn't possible. No event planner can take care of everything. This was a big shock to me, because, as I write below, there are things they just can't do for you. I know I spent at least 250 hours on this wedding myself. You might too, even with a planner. Yes, you'll have to find your wedding dress, pick your colors, choose the flowers, pick a band or DJ, choose an officiant, and so on, but you also have to meet with all of these people! You have to choose a videographer, a photographer, select a limousine company, choose your getaway car, book a hotel for guests, choose a caterer and go to a tasting, choose a baker and go for a tasting, choose music for the wedding processional, which in our case was a string quartet, and so on. You have to pick out and design your own invitations. I had to go to David's Bridal four times (I will not recommend you use them BTW), just to get my dress right. There are also brides maids dresses to get and have altered, tuxes for the guys which involves more than you would think, especially if you have people in your wedding that do not live nearby. So here's the takeaway- Serendipity Events by Tina was a good choice. They rocked in on the wedding day. But by no means were we prepared for all of the hours we would have to spend on our own to get things to the final day. So, when they or any other wedding planner says "Don't worry we will take care of everything!", it's not true. Again though, in the end, I do not know how we could have possibly managed our wedding day on our own. There's no way I would have even known to do some of the things we had to do, like pick a "napkin fold type" or decide what we'd have in our toast glasses and when and how to toast. We also had to spend a lot of time on the day's schedule. I think I spend 20 hours on that alone. I could really go on and on. It's important to know though, they can't do everything. You will do way more then they will. I was shocked by this, and I do not want you to be, future brides and grooms!

so smoothly, and it was all thanks to Tina and her team. She had our schedule, and kept everything moving without a hitch.

ng the calm, steady hand through the chaos that can be wedding planning. Tina is so sweet and fun and it's like working with your best friend. Thank you, Tina!!! Again and again and again.

ur expectations. The Photo Booth was a fun touch added to our wedding that everyone enjoyed and we are so excited to see all of the pictures. Thank you so much Tina!!

r us and our 12.2.22 wedding. It may be small (and maybe silly of me), but coming back to our table every now and then after I’d exhaust myself on the dance floor and seeing my drink always refilled, I felt truly cared for and it warmed my heart. Knowing I could just enjoy our day and Tina making sure everything was taken care of- the relief, peace, and joy I felt! Especially after all the hard work and time put into planning with all of life’s other challenges. As we all know, wedding planning is WORK, so I am EXTRA appreciative of how Tina guided us with our to-do’s, answered any questions we had, made amazing suggestions, gave extremely helpful tips, and checked in on how we were and our progress. I hope she gets all the recognition she deserves because she is astounding and beyond amazing at her job. I absolutely recommend Tina and know you won’t regret it!

e able to receive a discount through our connection with Tina, which saved us a good amount of money. Even though we hired Tina for day-of coordination, she regularly kept in touch with us throughout the planning process to make sure we had everything we needed. When our DJ backed out a week before the wedding, Tina came to the rescue with options and facilitated us finding a new DJ in less than 2 days (who turned out to be AMAZING). On the night of the reception, she made sure everything was beautiful, coordinated all of our vendors without issue, and even handed me glasses of water throughout the evening when I was having an ~extra~ good time. As someone who likes to typically handle everything myself, I was able to enjoy my night without even thinking about logistics because Tina was there to organize everything!! All I know is I had the best night of my life, and all of a sudden everything was clean and things were put away into the appropriate cars without me even knowing! Had an absolutely worry-free, fun day/night. Could not recommend her more.

sailing from that point on. Tina answered any questions either of us had with in-depth responses and great communication skills. She replied quickly too! If there was something she didn’t know she would quickly check her resources and get back with us. Day of the wedding she was in tune to our needs and attentive to schedule. She wasn’t rushing us, but she would remind us of the time and let us know how long we had for pictures, etc. The day was so perfect and we couldn’t have made it that way without her. Another thing I will add is that she is all about the BRIDE and the BRIDE’S wishes which is SO important and rare. We loved working with Tina and would highly recommend her for any occasion!

m put in throughout the planning process and wonderful to have running the reception.

scribed the team as a "hot mess". I'm sorry I found her

wasn’t worried about anything because I knew everything was done. My wedding went very smoothly and all the vendors were excellent. Tina is top notch and I would recommend her to anyone that wants a stress free wedding!

er responsive to all of our questions along the way. Tina provided a detailed wedding day timeline and coordinated with all of the vendors in the last weeks approaching the big day. I am a very detail oriented person, but I did not think twice about any wedding day details once the day started. The wedding day was flawless and we received many many compliments on both the ceremony and reception. After the reception, my husband and I just drove our car around and Tina and her team loaded up the personal items into our vehicle and we drove away. It was stress free! Thank you to Tina and her team for making the day just PERFECT!

ngs down rather than looking through hundreds of reviews. She helped me with my color scheme and overall design for the tables and decor- I didn’t buy anything. I rented everything from her and my florist to complete the look for our venue! But honestly day-of is where they truly shined. Completely exceeded my expectations and made the cost 10000% worth it. I didn’t think about a thing other than enjoying my day. She had another coordinator with her and we got the package that included the photo booth. They had our guests sign the guestbook, take photos at the photobooth and the rented Polaroid cameras we had. Packed up some of our cake, champagne, and other desserts for our getaway car. They packed up EVERYTHING for my parents to take home, all they had to do was load it. Seriously please check her out if you want your wedding planning to go smoothly from beginning to end!! I could honestly go on and on about how helpful, supportive, and overall amazing Tina and her staff were- preparing me for the unexpected, providing to-do lists and helping me stay on track with my budget, payments, and everything that needed to be done!

made sure my now-husband and I were having the best time. We can’t recommend Tina and her team enough!!

ntrol and was able to keep up with vendors that I was feeling frustrated by. For the wedding day she was on top of everything. Not one thing was out of place. My guests literally told me it was the best wedding they had been to. Her team was the sweetest and everyone was so professional. If I could go back I wouldn’t do anything differently. I highly recommend Tina for your event. You will not regret it. My husband and I are so grateful for her and her team. Thank you so much for making our perfect day happen.

with any questions I had and even took care of things so I wouldn't have to worry about them. My family and I were able to just enjoy the wedding day and were completely stress free!

canceling and rescheduling our wedding. She kept us on track when I was too stressed to plan anything, and her vendor recommendations were absolutely spot on. She thought of all the little things that weren’t even on our radar and helped me follow through with all of my hair brained ideas. Wedding day coordination was *exceptional*, and I literally didn’t have a single thing to worry about. Tina was the perfect accompaniment to our perfect day, and I can’t recommend her enough.

lessly. We literally had no snags thanks to them and I give them with the highest recommendation I can for their planning and organization. Additionally, they totally participated 100% with the mandatory costume portion of our Hallowedding, so they get extra points as far as we are concerned.

as kind and caring and helped me, a person who is not always a great planner, immensely. If you are thinking of hiring Tina and her team, you will not regret it. My mom has not stopped raving about Tina since the wedding and that is a HUGE endorsement.

ecca had great communication, was flexible and open to any and all my ideas and knew exactly how to go about getting the job done.

fferent planner and due to certain circumstances, Rebecca took us on as clients ~9 months before our wedding. I cannot say enough fabulous words about how awesome she is. The packages that are offered, as well as the decor items available for rent, helped to make planning our special day so easy.

olutely distraught and panicking, but Tina helped us navigate rescheduling for August 2020 (then rescheduling again for May 2021). She suggested new wedding dates, coordinated with all vendors, and flawlessly transitioned the wedding we had planned across three different dates. As May 28 2021 finally approached, Tina left no stone unturned in terms of solidifying day of details and confirming vendors, leaving me stress free and able to relax. When she showed up to the venue on the wedding day, I instantly knew we were in great hands and I could officially sit back and enjoy the day. Tina coordinated with my bridal party, family, and vendors to ensure everyone knew exactly what to do and when. There were a few details with other vendors that I wasn’t 100% thrilled with the day of and Tina worked quickly behind the scenes to resolve whatever was going on; as soon as Tina found out, she was on it and I knew it would be taken care of and I could relax. During pre-ceremony pictures, I stepped on my toe with my heels and cracked my toenail open, but Tina came to the rescue with her day of emergency kit and what would have been a crisis to me had Tina not been there was a complete non event - everything got cleaned up and we were even back (and ahead) on schedule within 15 minutes. Throughout the evening, Tina and her team kept us on track and in the loop about what was going to happen and when. Our ceremony and reception were an absolute dream, which would not have happened without Tina. Everyone had so much fun and could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue and floral/decorations were, how great the food was, the incredible music, and of course how flawless the evening was - none of which would be possible without Tina. There are no words to describe how thankful we are for Tina - we would recommend Tina to anyone and everyone who will listen. Thank you for everything Tina, you truly made May 28th, 2021 the best day ever :)

f of, help narrow down vendor options (particularly as I'm not from this area), and cheer me on throughout planning! I chose to do partial wedding planning, which was perfect for me. Tina and her team also made everything run insanely smoothly on the big day, and quietly took care of and emergencies that came up. She also helped us book our dream honeymoon on a budget. Cannot recommend her enough!

ding day. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Tina was incredibly helpful and was quick to answer the many questions we had. Aside from the regular wedding planning stress, we were also hit with the uncertainty of COVID which really had us panicking. Tina helped us come up with alternatives and solutions to have the safest wedding as possible for our guests and vendors. She is also incredibly thorough and will make sure no details are forgotten about before the big day. There are so many things we would have overlooked if we hadn't had Tina's guidance. On the day of the wedding I was not stressed at all because I knew we were in good hands. When things came up that were out of our control, Tina let me know as soon as possible and helped me come up with solutions that resolved the issue immediately. She did an amazing job coordinating with our other vendors to make sure everything ran as smooth as possible. Because of her, we were able to relax and just have fun- it was truly the BEST NIGHT EVER! You will not regret your decision to hire her. If you are looking for a coordinator who is experienced, professional, kind-hearted, and energetic you cannot go wrong with Tina!! Tina, we cannot thank you enough!

o work with! As the MOB I appreciated that she was able to continually reassure the bride throughout the COVID-19 ups and downs. On the day of, she had to handle a couple of difficult issues with other vendors and was able to find a quick solution that was acceptable for the bride. She also provided us candid photos that she had taken throughout the wedding day -- something that I didn't expect. Additionally, she advised us on how to handle a difficult vendor during the days that followed the event -- we very much appreciated that. My only regret was that I wished we would have put more of our budget into her services so that she could have handled so much more! Thank you Tina for making our daughter's big day the success that it was!

ughter got married about 6 months before I did) and she was incredible to work with. She helped keep me and my groom on task throughout the planning process and had great vendor recommendations. My wedding took place right as many gathering restrictions for COVID-19 were starting to come down and the week before my wedding my guest count dropped about 1/3 as many of our guests were supposed to fly in. Tina did a great job helping us alter some of our plans to make our wedding just as special and also ensured that all of our vendors and guests felt comfortable with proper hand sanitation and social distancing! I can't recommend Tina enough! She really helped ease a lot of stress in the wedding planning process!

needed to get done. The day of the ceremony she was on top of everything making sure people arrived on time and that the wedding would go off without a hitch. My day was everything I hoped it would be and that wouldn't have been the case if it weren't for Kait and her team. Thank you, serendipity!

I had a very clear vision of what I wanted for the day, so I only needed her day of service (which is honestly more like a few months of service). She was patient with my nervousness and sent me plenty of charts and spreadsheets to get started (which I love!) I wanted to be able to relax the day of, and let someone else worry about the vendors and coordinating things, and thanks to Tina and her team, I was able to do so. She handled coordinating the bridal party, my overly drunken grandfather, and an irritatingly late vendor, so that I wouldn’t have to worry about those things on my most important day. I 110% recommend Tina, even for the bride most hesitant to give up control. My husband originally questioned why we even needed a planner, but afterwards he agreed that Tina was the best decision we made about the wedding! It was completely worth it to stay in the moment for my wedding, and I was in good hands.

g how we discussed and took care of all of the clean up after the wedding. They put me in touch with vendors who fit my style and our budget. It was so nice to just enjoy our wedding and not have to worry about a thing! Great experience.

oothly, we stayed on time (almost) and made sure the vendors had everything they needed and executed to the plan beautifully. I did all the planning myself but Tina met with me several times to check in and make sure I didn’t miss anything. We did have a couple of surprise remedies that needed to be taken care of on the actual day and Tina worked with my family and bridal party to take care of them without a hitch. She also offers rentals for things like décor and signs for very reasonable prices and has great connections with vendors if you’re needing more input during the planning process.

e timelines and agreements, coordinating everything from the flowers to the quartet to the security and DJ. She went beyond my expectations. I said, “just make it pretty” and she did exactly that. Her and her team worked with the caterer, florist and venue to make sure my vision of a perfect wedding was executed down to organizing the tables, linens, flowers, signs, cocktail hour, moving the quartet from one section to another without any hiccups, and ensuring the reception went as smooth as possible. She was very attentive to all of our needs, and even has rental items way cheaper than other venues. When I couldn’t find a gold cake stand that fit my cake, she had one I could rent along with the last minute add on for a 20 ft long curtain needed for the ceremony entrance. She just made it easy & truly the best day of my life. I can’t thank her and her team enough.

y month with a complete checklist. Tina went above and beyond at every turn to ensure that my wife was taken care of completely and all of her last minute concerns. The final week when things were most stressful, she put our minds at ease and was on top of every last detail. During the wedding she made it her mission in life to ensure we had a great time and that if anything wasn't going according to plan, it was quickly remedied within a matter of seconds. We couldn't have asked for more and are so appreciative of all of the hard work that everyone at Serendipity Events showed us to make our wedding day a time that we will never forget.
