Tara Skinner Weddings & Events

she couldn’t answer or a problem she couldn’t solve. She made sure everything about our wedding was absolutely flawless - not only logistically but also aesthetically. Another thing I really appreciated about Tara’s approach is that she knew the best vendors to carry out my style and vision. I truly feel that she assembled our dream team, and everyone involved was AMAZING. We were floored by the talent, creativity and thoroughness we saw. Not only is Tara an expert in her field, she is also immeasurably kind, patient, supportive and FUNNY! My family adores her, and we still (6 months later) talk about how much we miss “Saint Tara” in our lives on a regular basis. The last thing I’ll mention, which anyone can clearly see from the her social media, is that Tara has IMPECCABLE taste. I trusted her judgement on every last detail and had a ton of fun picking out linens, rental furniture, etc. with her and getting her hot take on pretty much everything. She is the best of the best, and we are so grateful for the 14 months she spent putting together the wedding of our dreams.

ork with and come with a lot of nontraditional ideas and decision dilemmas, but Amy was so patient, kind and knew exactly how to keep us moving forward and checking off the list! Honestly, she made the entire process so easy, allowing us to focus on things that mattered to us most. We had lots of laughs, stressful moments of potential rain, coaching and fun calls together. She really delivered our dream day. Also, I am leaving this process completely amazed at all of the things a wedding planner does ...that go above and beyond what I would have ever assumed a wedding planner does. Thanks for everything, Amy! - Happily married, Chris and Jamie

as in a good spot and had all of my planning and vendors ready to go but I cannot believe how much Krystal helped facilitate our wedding vision those last several weeks. There were so many little details we didn’t think of and Krystal made it happen- it made our wedding that much more amazing. Krystal was EXTREMELY responsive and supportive throughout the entire process. It took so much stress off our plate. Krystal took all the responsibility and was the main contact person communicating all the final decisions to our vendors. The final weeks up to our wedding, she made sure everything was in place and no stone was left unturned. She created our floor plan, transportation plan and made an AMAZING timeline for our entire wedding weekend, she never missed a detail! Krystal and her assistant Summer’s help on our wedding day was beyond exceptional, seeing our vision and venue come together exceeded my vision and expectations times a million. I don’t think I ever saw either of them take a break, they were always making sure everything was running smoothly, they made sure my husband and I were fed and ALWAYS had a drink in our hand. Throughout the wedding weekend we had guests coming up to us saying how amazing they were. The thing that I will always remember about Krystal is how much she genuinely cared about our wedding, she always had a smile on her face and in the end she seemed more like a friend of ours, I will be forever grateful to Krystal, Summer, and Tara Skinner Events. We had the MOST amazing and fun time at our wedding and our guests are saying the same thing, we owe a lot of that to Krystal!! I wish we could do it again!

d, but she did it so smoothly --- it is very apparent the first time that you meet her that this is not her first rodeo. Anytime my mom or I had any kind of concern / question (no matter how small), she would immediately have an answer and would put our minds at ease. The entire process was so easy and organized thanks to her. All of the vendors that she recommended were phenomenal. I could go on and on! You will not regret working with anyone on her team. Seriously amazing!

erful from start to finish. It takes a lot of trust when you are planning a wedding in Savannah while living in New York and Megan and the team always made us feel taken care of. She was always available for every call and concern no matter how difficult or last minute. I almost couldn't believe it when I walked into our tent and saw what Megan and the Tara Skinner team had done. It was literally everything that I wanted and our guests that attended our wedding are still raving about it. I don't know how Megan does it with three small kids at home but she is, literally, Wonder Woman. I can't say enough about this company for helping me realize the wedding of my dreams. I'm still on Cloud 9!!! I will also add that the team is budget conscious and very good at talking nervous mothers and brides off a ledge. It's hard to know how everything will turn out when you place your vision in the hands of someone on the opposite end of the country and when you can't always see things in person, but it was truly incredible how Megan and Tara Skinner Events realized my vision. Impeccable.

e most elegant and PERFECT way. Tara’s attention to detail, organization and sensitivity made the wedding planning process so enjoyable and fun. I can’t say enough how much I love the entire TSWE team- hire them immediately!!!

not to do was priceless. This service made a happy bride, happy MOB and a joyful, blessed Day! Grateful!

evening. From the planning, coordination, set up and delivery, everything was perfect. Tara made this skeptical bride into a true believer that your wedding is truly the best day ever. I am so beyond grateful for Tara's hard work and talent that went into making this day extraordinarily special. Mark & I are forever thankful.

he most magical, perfect day of our lives. Hannah was there for every step of the way - to answer every question, talk with every vendor and guide the whole process so beautifully. She so eagerly and professionally gave her recommendations and opinions. We could not have been happier with how our day turned out. You know when you see exactly what you want your big day to look like in your head and dreams but have no idea how to get it there? Tara Skinner will get you there and more. We will forever look back and be grateful for Tara Skinner Weddings & Events and they will forever be who we recommend to any brides! A true pleasure!

gh when working through the details with me. She was the best asset to my wedding vendor team and the best decision I made when starting the wedding planning process. Not only would I not have been able to plan my wedding as effectively without her feedback, but I would not have been able to fully execute the events of the wedding day itself without her. I highly recommend using Krystal and Tara Skinner Events for any of your event planning needs!!

o happy I chose to have full wedding and rehearsal services. It took the pressure off of me and my mom and we were able to enjoy the celebration! I highly recommend working with Tara and her team (we love you, Megan!) for your upcoming wedding!

annah being long distance was a concern. I want to say what a fabulous experience we had and Megan was exceptional. The wedding exceeded my expectations and was more wonderful than I had even hoped. Tara and her team helped us navigate all of it with ease and confidence. When the wedding day came we had no reservations or concerns and the day was beautiful. The vendors were also exceptional. My memories are all positive and I would not change a thing. Thanks Tara and Megan for making dreams come true! Megan you are like one of our family. Thank you so much !

pleasure to interact with during the whole process. We had to push our original 2020 wedding date to September 2021 due to Covid and Krystal was invaluable through all of this. She held my hand through the disappointment and anxiety of things feeling like they were falling apart and took the stress out of having to get everything moved around for the new date. She thought of every detail that needed to be taken care of and handled any changes I made along with the way with such professionalism. Hannah Perry coordinated the day of and exuded an aura of calm that let me know that everything was taken care of and helped ease any day of anxieties for me and my family. Hiring this company made my big day such a pleasure!

to covid and I was so nervous about being able to still have the wedding of my dreams. We were one of the first weddings at the beginning of covid to have to postpone, so we already had EVERYTHING booked. Evan did not bat an eye! She made the process so easy, was so reassuring and made me feel so good about every decision. She even ended up being able to reschedule every vendor that I had originally wanted. I honestly cannot imagine going through this process without her. She was extremely professional, had great relationships with the Savannah vendors and gave me great direction and advice. She worked with me, my mom and mother in law during the process and made every opinion feel heard and validated. On our wedding day, right before the wedding party was going to walk down the aisle, RAIN came out of nowhere. What could have turned into chaos, at an outdoor wedding with guests scrambling for cover, was handled SO gracefully. I truly don’t know how she did it (probably magic) but Evan somehow re-arranged our entire tented reception area into a new alter and aisle for our ceremony. It was as perfect as it could be and I felt so lucky to be in Evans hands during that situation. I would recommend working with her to ANY new bride!! I truly feel so grateful and blessed to have made the decision to work with her.

lly different scheme was when I started to see the value that Hannah would bring to the process. From her knowledge of linens to her ideas on signage to the nudging she gave us on having a “full” look on our tables at the reception (which she was so right about) to putting everything from the reception back in our car Saturday night- I can’t imagine our night coming off as it did without her input and help all along the way. The 2 pieces of the wedding puzzle that were most important to us were the florals and an awesome band. The band was relatively easy, but we had to work through a couple of florists to find our way to Marble & Pine. We were getting down to a point in the timeline where we really had to book a florist and Hannah found this group who was a great fit for us. I just have to tell you they did an AMAZING job - we are continuing get comments about how beautiful all the flowers were. When the doors to the ballroom were opened it took my breath away. I teared up as I looked at the chandeliers, the dinner tables, the cake table - it was just more than I could have ever imagined. Hannah was a rock star all weekend - she was available when needed, checked in with us and helped with anything that came up. The wedding day went so smoothly it was really like a dream. Our only crisis was when Frannie accidentally ripped her bolero when she went to hug Robbie at their first look. I texted Hannah, and she met us in the church with needle and thread, literally stitching Frannie into the bolero as Amy steamed her dress just minutes before Frannie was to walk down the aisle. The ceremony was beautiful and Hannah was right there to make sure everyone was in place and doing what they should be doing. Hannah handled everything at the reception like such a pro! The whole night ran on schedule and Hannah was always present to make sure we were well taken care of. Everything was wonderful thanks to the professionalism and dedication of the best wedding planner from Tara Skinner!

commend her highly enough. Planning our wedding from afar, Hannah made everything easy for us by helping to narrow down all the options and introduce us to and coordinate with vendors. We unfortunately had to cancel our original wedding plans in Savannah due to COVID-19, and Hannah was absolutely instrumental in helping us through the cancellation process so that it was as painless as possible - she was so understanding and supportive throughout, and we are forever grateful. If you're in need of a wedding planner in Savannah, look no further than Tara Skinner and especially, Hannah!

edding for over a year together and she was phenomenal!!! Absolutely amazing. She always responded day-of, never forgot the million ideas I threw her way and was always kind, professional, and VERY organized! She took so much stress and tasks off my plate, I truly can’t say enough positive things about her. I’m beyond thankful for her!!! On the night of our outdoor wedding, we had huge rainstorm (the tent, dance floor and catering tent flooded) and she handled all of the obstacles with grace and was extremely calming when we spoke about plans b and c! I know choosing someone to handle the most exciting day of your life can be a tough decision but please know you will be in great hands with Krystal!!!

s to create the destination wedding of our dreams while we lived out of state, but she was the sole reason we were able to reschedule with ALL but two of our original vendors when we had to postpone in March. Crystal recommended world-class vendors, and was always very responsive to emails/calls. I can't thank Crystal enough and I honestly don't think I could have done this without her. Crystal truly made the planning process an incredible and enjoyable experience, even through the stress of re-planning through a pandemic. Crystal thought of EVERYTHING, when it came to safety precautions we needed due to Covid. On the day of, Crystal took care of absolutely everything, and was always there when she was needed, which meant a completely stress-free bride, mother of the bride, and bridal party. I can't recommend Tara Skinner Weddings enough if you are planning a wedding. Thank you, Crystal and Tara Skinner Weddings!!

ime, I experienced a major life event, COVID forced us to postpone 6 months, and a hurricane threatened our *new* big day... it was an absolute rollercoaster to say the least. Tara kept us calm, helped us make some really tough decisions, and was with us every step of the way. Tara is absolutely amazing at what she does. Our wedding day was an absolute fairytale, everything went PERFECT and that is truly because of Tara. She is top notch and the best decision we made when it came to our big day. Tara became much more than a planner, she became a friend. We love you Tara and thank you for everything!!!

ist. Tara was the first person to reach out to my daughter. Then, Covid postponed the wedding from April 4th to September 19th. If that wasn't enough, a Hurricane was threatening us. But, because of Tara, my daughter never worried about a thing. She brought her vision to reality. She calmed the storm. She was her guiding angel. For that, I will be forever grateful. I don't think she even realizes how awesome she is!!! If you need a wedding planner, I promise you that Tara will not disappoint you.

and professional. Krystal went above and beyond to make the wedding planning process stress free. Even after having a postpone the wedding from May to September Krystal never missed a beat. Can't say enough great things about the team and highly reccomend. Brides you are in the best hands!!

e!! Tara is professional, budget conscious, timely, organized and always makes herself available when needed!! I can't imagine doing a wedding without her and we can't wait for the next one!!

me, always super responsive. As a 2020 bride, I can honestly say my wedding was not a stressful weekend because of Tara. I did not have to worry about anything and remained hands-off the entire weekend while she worked her magic. The biggest testament to that is my bridal party and guests telling me how calm and peaceful I looked on my wedding day. Tara took charge dealing with last minute changes even up until the day of the wedding. She alleviated all my covid concerns and even when unexpected rain showed up, she was there to keep the show going. Then to the decor! She helped execute every detail perfect fully with our florist and rental company. It was straight out of a fairytale. The best part was my husband and I could enjoy ourselves the entire reception because she took care of everything.

dding even better than you could imagine!

iance is Hindu and I am christian and she helped plan an absolutely perfect wedding for us at the Westin Savannah which incorporated both of our cultures and was just a dream to work with. She was responsive, supportive, never thought my questions were stupid, and always made me feel like the most important person in the planning process (#bridegoals). Unfortunately with anxiety around Covid, we had to move our wedding back to North Carolina where our families are from. Tara could not have been nicer with the transition. We were very sad when she was unavailable for our new date, but we are lucky to get to keep many of her designs and ideas going forward into our new planning process/date. She is smart, logical, kind, and absolutely knows what she is doing. Her creativity in combination specifically with Amy Harvey (florist) is mind blowing, although I am certain she works magic with every florist and decorator in Savannah. If you are having a multicultural wedding, Tara will not only handle it, but go above and beyond. We are so appreciative to have gotten to work with her.

ttended and every single aspect was gorgeous! We’ve had three girls get married so my husband and I know how valuable an experienced wedding planner is. You will not find anyone better than Tara!

olution for every question we could think of and also suggestions for things that never crossed our minds. When I began to worry about the weather plan, the timing of vendor set up, etc. Hannah calmed my nerves and I knew I could trust her completely to handle it all so that we could truly be carefree and enjoy our special day. We absolutely could not have done any of it without her guidance and expertise! We LOVE the entire team and counted each of them as a blessing on our happiest day!! THANK YOU!!!!!

e, advice and wealth of knowledge! Planning our wedding in Savannah from Seattle we knew we were taking on a big task-but as soon as we had our first phone conversation I knew we would be in great hands. Hannah was our voice, ears and eyes when we couldn’t be there physically. She helped me stay calm and organize when I would get lost in the weeds of all the wedding details. Days leading up to the wedding, including day of, several guest and family members commented on how calm the groom and I were-because we had full faith and trust that Hannah and her team had it! Our wedding day was more than we could have ever imagine, thanks to Hannah and TSE!

for the "Month of" package as my Mother had been in the hospitality industry all her life and we figured we could handle everything until then. Crystal still jumped into action sending us documents with vendor recommendations and information for Savannah Weddings. We still talked to her daily and she was always available to help answer questions or concerns! She always provided full honesty in answering my questions which I so appreciated. You could tell how much she cared about our Wedding. I never once felt like this was just another wedding to her. Unfortunately 6 months before the Wedding my Mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. With everything approaching we started treatment quickly which meant I lost my right hand. Crystal again jumped right into action. She was there, texting me through my tears reassuring me that everything was going to be perfect. She attended our Tasting (on a Sunday) because my Mom's taste buds weren't the same through Chemo. Crystal was there for me in more ways than any Wedding Planner is paid to be. From start to finish she was on top of everything, organized and asking questions that I never would have thought about. It was Genuine. On the Big day she was there from the very early morning all the way to being the absolute last to leave. My Wedding Party and Family were checked in on all through out the day, there was never a time I couldn't find Crystal or didn't have her right there. She's by your side through out it all. But most importantly - Crystal and TSWE allowed me to enjoy the 5 days of Friends and Family and they allowed me to have my Mom by my side the whole day as everything else was attended to. After talking with my Mom, our only regret was that we didn't hire them from the very beginning. They truly will take away the stress of this process for you. I would absolutely recommend this company again and again. Our Wedding crew became our Family and we can't imagine still not seeing them on our trips back to Savannah. Crystal, I can't thank you and TSWE enough for everything you did for us through out our Wedding Journey. You are the sweetest soul and you all truly made our Dreams come to life!

e was there for some great suggestions along with the biggest help in being the day of coordinator. Having her there to make all the decisions so I didn’t have to was a huge relief ! It did rain on our wedding day and Crystal was there to make it the best it could be by helping our guests from their cars to the ceremony and from ceremony to reception with umbrellas! I highly recommend hiring this company for your planning needs. Thanks Crystal!

wledge of the wedding industry in Savannah, and wonderful taste! Tara was our go-to for any and all questions throughout the wedding process. She is not only talented at piecing together gorgeous weddings, but at staying level-headed when her clients experience stress or conflict during planning. I truly appreciated Tara's calm energy throughout our planning. In addition, Tara was incredible on our actual wedding day. She made sure every detail happened at the exactly right moment while somehow staying in the background. Thank you Tara and team!

I could say more but from the times I was involved with Tara she was very warm and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding she made sure that we stayed on time without being pushy but not being too soft in her approach that we could have risked being late to certain moments. Great experience!

ng us on weekends for planning appointments when we were in town to weekly and often daily emails. She gave us her complete dedication. She also LITERALLY saved our plated dinner, when the venue required caterer ordered the incorrect food counts. Crystal showed up with shrimp to feed our guests. If nothing else speaks to the superb quality of service that Crystal provides, actually bringing the food the feed our guest should! She goes above and beyond to make sure that your wedding goes as smoothly as planned without any hiccups. Also Crystal is an absolute joy to work with. We immediately hit it off and she became a dear friend in the process. I cannot say enough wonderful words about Crystal except, BOOK HER!!!

ything! I was able to enjoy my day knowing she had it all. HIGHLY recommend!!

literally thought of and handled everything. There are so many details that you just don't think of and sources that you need but don't have because you are not from Savannah - Crystal handled all of it without a flaw! She suggested our florist who was fabulous (Harvey Designs), the hair and makeup gals, the rental company, the technology and lighting guys.....we were blessed to have her! Highly recommend this company to anyone getting married in Savannah, even if you think you don't need a planner they are so flexible with the different services they provide!!

guided us to the perfect local vendors.She patiently worked with us on all of the details and helped us to create the dream wedding my daughter wanted. The ceremony was at Forsyth Park and the reception was at the Westin Savannah Harbor. We used Old Town Trolley Tours to transport our guests back and forth from the Westin to Forsyth Park for the ceremony and reception, and the happy couple arrived by boat to the Westin. Amy arranged all of the logistics and on the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything. Everything went off without a hitch. Amy and her assistant,Evan Cowart, took care of everything on the day of the wedding, and we were able to just celebrate and enjoy the joyous beautiful wedding. I highly recommend Tara Skinner and Amy Macatee!

de our job as a vendor so much easier. Looking forward to working together again in the future!

at I envisioned in my head and we had the most BEAUTIFUL wedding!

everything was as I envisioned. Her organizational skills and friendly personality made her a joy to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to any bride!!

ours did not disappoint! We had weather issues, clothing mishaps, and family drama. You would never have known it because of the incredible ways that Hannah and PPP handled everything! I thought about doing the planning and preparations myself and having my bridesmaids help me the day of but I am so happy I went with PPP!!!

ed and she helped save me from several mishaps during planning. She was incredibly sweet and truly went above and beyond for my fiance and I!! Thank you Hannah and PPP!!!

f my guests kept saying to me all night that ours was the best wedding they had been to. I know that this was all because of the amazing team we had from Posh Petals and Pearls!

ooked perfect and it was exactly what I had imagined. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and provided so many helpful checklists and timelines. I cannot imagine how we would have done it without her! We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a planner in the Charleston area.

We appreciated the vendor lists and the discounts at certain vendors. Marvee was available to answer questions for the months before the wedding. She gave me the confirmation I needed that I was on the right track with various choices. Crystal took over during the last month. I cannot say enough about her. In addition to being uber organized and on top of every single detail, she was a constant calming influence when things went off track temporarily at our venue. She enabled me to be a guest at my daughter's wedding and enjoy every minute without worrying about anything. If you are on the fence about incurring this expense, take the plunge. You absolutely will not regret it.
