Tableau Events, LLC | Planning and Design

s expertise, organization and calm demeanor to help us get through it all. We were lucky enough to have first met Tina when she was at the Inn at Bay Harbor (where we were getting married) before she started her role with Tableau. When she mentioned she was leaving the Inn we panicked at the thought of working with someone new, but she quickly assured us we had nothing to worry about because surprise! she was now going to be our month-of planner with Tableau so we'd still be working with her!! This ended up being incredible for us because she had SO much knowledge and expertise about our venue and was able to answer tons of questions and make suggestions for us. From managing our vendors leading up to the day, to making sure every little detail was setup properly at the venue, to taking our drink orders and hand delivering cocktails while we signed our marriage license, Tina thought of it all. However, I think the best part about working with Tina is her personality - she's so positive, funny, easy-going, patient, and kind. Wedding planning is STRESSFUL, so having someone like her to answer endless crazy/silly questions, be patient when you still haven't chosen your father/daughter dance song and the wedding is 5 days away, and make your dreams of an outdoor ceremony (even though it's raining and she probably wouldn't recommend it) come true was priceless. We cannot recommend Tableau enough!! Karly & Tina - thank you for making our dream wedding come together so seamlessly. You are so talented and we're so grateful!! Julie & Taylor

She went above and beyond for my wife and I and we can' thank her enough. She made our wedding magical. She is worth every penny. We received compliment after compliment about her work and how incredible her work was. Don't hesitate to hire Karly and her team! She is the best of the best of the best! Leighanne & Samatha

ectly executed and created a stunning setting for the day. I would recommend Karly and the team at Tableau to anyone looking for a seamless and beautiful wedding day!

this whole process. She talked me through all the changes and in the end everything went perfectly. She changed all our vendors, re-booked for our 2021 wedding, and planned a new wedding in 2 months. She always made me feel like everything was under control and I didn't need to worry - which is important for a Type A/control freak person like myself. The wedding day was completely seamless thanks to Karly and her team. Our original plan was to have our wedding in Northern MI but transitioned easily to planning our Metro Detroit wedding as well. I would work with Tableau again for any event!

nage all the moving pieces. Not only was it great to work with Karly to find the vendors that best fit us in the area but also throughout the year of planning/organizing and the day of. I would recommend Karly & the team at Tableau for all brides those who need full wedding planning support a year out to those who need the month of coordination.

led together, having Karly keep me sane in the weeks leading up to our wedding, and the day of, was invaluable. Everything went off without a hitch! It was truly incredible to see all of my random ideas and pins come together and there is no way I would have been able to do it on my own. Sheila truly thinks of every single detail and is so thoughtful of the guest experience. Wedding planning can be so fun, but it can also be stressful, just know, in the end, if you hire Sheila, you will be 100% delighted with the outcome!

in terms of what needed to be accomplished each month, extremely helpful with offering options on vendors and had worked very closely with the Inn on several weddings. The relationship that they have established with the Inn was a real assets to getting things accomplished. They were able to capture our daughters vision into a design package for the wedding which was a perfect match. I can’t imagine getting through the last couple of days without them. They were extremely efficient and always pleasant. A big thank you to them.

e reception at the Inn at Bay Harbor and these two had ample experience with the venue which was an added bonus. As my son and his fiancee live in Colorado and I live in Michigan, it was really nice to have guidance along the way to pull it all together. The decor ideas and items Tableau provided made the atmosphere so special. The weekly conference calls towards the end were a life saver in making sure we had everything covered. At the last minute we decided we needed more safe transportation for our guests (no uber here!!). Karly lined this up for us and it really saved the day. These ladies are professional and incredibly kind! I highly recommend them for ANY big event that you want to be perfect!!!

it were all set and organized. The communication was so clear and she took so much off our plates that allowed for all our friends and family to enjoy the moment. I can honestly say myself, my husband and our families were so relaxed because of how helpful Carly was and it really just set such a great tone for the entire wedding. Thank you for being a part of our team and making everything so seamless!

ld take advantage of their design and/or coordination package. In the end I ended up opting for coordination only, as my vision came together and I didn’t mind having my hands in much of the process. Carly then helped me tighten up all loose ends close to our wedding day. She was an absolute angel our wedding weekend, orchestrating our rehearsal and helping me and my family rest at ease come the day of. I couldn’t recommend her more highly for her behind the scenes execution and poise. It was a delight working with Tableau!

ded to bring our wedding vision to life, and Samantha helped us execute it flawlessly in the weeks leading up to and on the wedding day. My husband and I were actually able to relax and enjoy the day knowing that Sheila and Samantha had everything that we could possibly think of and more covered for the day. Their expertise was incredible, from helping predict the weather to coordinating all of our vendors so that we could focus on getting married. We’re beyond grateful for Tableau Events helping make the day unforgettable! We could not recommend them more highly for both decor and day of coordination services! 12/10 stars.

of the wedding and wanted to handle myself). Samantha ended up being my coordinator and put me totally at ease. It's challenging when you are working on your wedding for so long to suddenly hand over everything to someone, but Samantha stepped in where I was falling short or forgetting something, and let me handle the items I was more passionate about. The week of the wedding she was fully executing everything and on the day-of, we couldn't have done it without her. She handled the entire church ceremony execution, her day-of kit helped patch my ripped bustle, and she had everyone where they needed to be at the exact right time. I strongly urge you to hire a day-of coordinator for your wedding so you can really enjoy it, and the Tableau team can be trusted wholeheartedly.

or the ceremony to lovely tableware. The suggestions she and Carly gave as far as decor, time line, vendors, and everything else were invaluable. On the day of the wedding Carly was everywhere making sure everything went as planned and smoothing out any bumps that came up. She had a magical bag that seemed to have anything we needed in it. They were easily the best decision we made for the wedding because then they made everything else fall into place in a low stress, fun way! They care about the bride and groom like family and you will miss them after the wedding!

She created an event that was visually stunning, and included so many personal touches that truly reflected who we are as a couple which made our wedding even more special and memorable. Carly was amazing to work with on month of planning, and she is so talented and dedicated! She was attentive, organized, and thoughtful. No detail was forgotten, and it meant so much to us that our family and friends could relax the day of our wedding because Carly had every detail covered. Our families adored her! We recommend Tableau Events to anyone planning a wedding, or event! They are truly the best of the best!!!

areas, cocktail hour details, customized monogram on everything… are just a few details that really made the difference to create such a fun atmosphere for our guests. Carly was a huge help during the month of our wedding, scheduling weekly calls to keep everyone and everything on track. The countless hours these ladies spent for us made our day so special and I highly recommend stopping by their new storefront in Petoskey to check them out! Thank you so much Sheila and Carly!

n the day of the wedding I didn't have to worry about thing. I felt so relaxed and I was able to enjoy every minute of my wedding.

h the other decor. I can't say enough about how great it all came together in the end. The only improvements that I think could be made was the communication with the vendor was okay but was often challenging to work through the design process as it was challenging at times to arrange phone calls to discuss the lighting. Also, it was hard to truly visualize what the design was as it was only through discussion and trying to "picture it in my head". Finally, I created my own sketch drawing to communicate what I was looking for so that we were all on the same page. Rentals were pricey with a $3,000 minimum and not what I expected in terms of budget, but again we were very pleased at how it turned out. Also, one of the chandeliers would not light in the center of the tent and they came to fix it and left before I even noticed which was amazing service.

rides, grooms and their families shouldn't have to fret about on the big day. We would recommend Tableau to everyone.

She really brought my vision to life and it was PERFECT!

ut a month before my wedding, I learned that Tableau started offering day-of wedding planning services. As the wedding was getting close, I realized that I wanted someone to be on site to coordinate the wedding timeline and vendors so that I could enjoy the day. Luckily enough, Christianna, from Tableau, was available to work with. She was so sweet, calm and organized. She made sure that everything and everyone was in its place, and was there to help if I needed anything. Though I didn't initially think I needed the help, I am so glad I decided to hire Christianna for the day!

ding programs, menus, etc), the entire wedding design, and day of coordination June 2015 at the Inn at Bay Harbor. Sheila coordinated with all of my vendors for the wedding design. My wedding decorations were absolutely beautiful! I could not have planned my wedding without her; in fact, if I didn’t have her I probably would have had an empty room! She literally planned and organized every detail of my entire wedding. She is very creative, and has an eye for elegance. Christianna helped with the day of coordination, she did an amazing job!! She went above and beyond to make sure everything went flawlessly, and it did. I could really go on for pages and rave about these two. I am so grateful I had them a part of my special day, and I really mean it when I say I could not have planned my beautiful wedding without them. They were my sanity in an incredible stressful process. I have been told by so many friends that were brides, “enjoy your day, it goes by so fast” and they regret they did not get to spend enough time enjoying themselves and everything they planned; I can honestly say that I am a bride who enjoyed EVERY moment of my wedding, I took everything in, and I would change NOTHING about my wedding day. Thank you Sheila and Christianna for making my dream wedding come true!!!!
