I literally had no idea how to plan a wedding—especially not a beach wedding in the Caribbean—while living in Detroit. I just knew I wanted something beautiful, tropical, and stress-free. I remembered Tanya Wilbon and her TEGi team from this amazing corporate retreat they put together for our company, and I thought, “Maybe she does weddings too?” So I reached out… and thank GOD I did.
From our first conversation, Tanya made me feel like everything was possible. She said, “We got this,” and wow—did they. She and her team planned the most stunning destination wedding in Aruba and handled literally everything:
Found the perfect beach spot 🌴
Booked the dreamiest vendors
Helped with travel + hotel stuff for our guests
Designed the prettiest ceremony + reception setup
Coordinated every single detail so we didn’t have to stress at all
She was on it 24/7, always super sweet and calm, and just knew exactly what to do—even when I had no clue. It felt like she could read my mind half the time lol.
Our wedding turned out like something out of a Pinterest board—seriously. It was romantic, fun, and sooo us. Everyone kept asking how we pulled it off, and I just said, “Tanya. That’s it.”
If you're thinking of doing a destination wedding and want zero stress and all the magic, book TEGi. Tanya’s the GOAT. End of story.

Okay, so like, Tanya Wilbon is seriously the BEST wedding planner ever. She totally made our wedding day a dream come true – it was so smooth and we didn't have to stress about a single thing. Her eye for detail is insane, and she just got our vision and made it even better than we imagined. Plus, she's super professional but also really chill, which was a lifesaver when we were freaking out a little. Seriously, if you're getting married, you HAVE to hire her. You won't regret it!

My wife and I had an incredible wedding weekend, and the TEGI team was critical in making it a success! Tanya was great to work with for setting up an initial outline, and Carrie, Fez and the rest of the TEGI team were amazing for executing on all the details. They were all easily accessible and responded quickly, and generally made the big weekend as low-stress as possible for us and our families. We’d recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for big event planning help.
Our wedding was pretty involved – there were 300 guests, multiple events over two days, and about 8 vendors providing different services. Coordinating everything would have been overwhelming without TEGI’s expertise and support. Carrie and Fez handled all of the vendor logistics and kept things running smoothly and on schedule, which saved us a ton of mental effort. They provided a lot of general advice, especially about how to arrange the reception, and their collective experience really made a difference. We used a WhatsApp group chat to communicate efficiently and get quick answers to last-minute questions.
We got a bunch of compliments saying that our events went really smoothly, and we can thank TEGI for that!

If Knot, Google or Yelp allowed for it, I'd gladly give Tanya 1000 stars. She embodies resourcefulness, efficiency, creativity, professionalism, diplomacy, grace, and kindness, making her the ideal collaborative partner for crafting your perfect wedding.
Tanya boasts an impressive roster of her own contractor relationships, all of whom are top-notch. However, she was more than willing to work seamlessly with the independent contractors we selected.
Throughout the planning process, Tanya skillfully managed the entire timeline, providing regular updates. Dealing with our large, lovely, and opinionated families, she tirelessly fielded input day and night for months leading up to the big day, always maintaining her composure. Instead of dismissing suggestions, she validated each one and helped us incorporate them where fitting.
In the days leading up to our wedding and on the actual day, Tanya meticulously organized every minute, ensuring everyone knew where to be and when. Somehow, she seemed to be everywhere at once, overseeing the completion of every detail. Despite her black-tie gown, we couldn't see Tanya's running sneakers at the wedding, but she certainly put them to good use.
We have nothing but adoration for Tanya and wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Tanya and her team exceeded all expectations right from our initial phone conversation. Two weeks before my wedding, I had to change venues, and I was in a state of panic. However, when I spoke with Tanya, she immediately put me at ease and asked insightful questions to fully grasp the details I had already arranged, my overall vision, and my aspirations for the event. She seamlessly dove into action, demonstrating exceptional ease of collaboration, responsiveness, thoroughness, and organizational skills, precisely what I required to reassemble my wedding in such a tight timeframe. Tanya coordinated with all the vendors, ensuring a flawless event, and even went the extra mile by lending me some small decor pieces I had overlooked. Without a doubt, if you're in search of a wedding planner or coordinator, Tanya and TEGI are the ones to turn to.

The wedding day itself was a masterpiece, a true testament to Tanya’s expertise.

When my partner and I decided to embark on the journey of planning a destination wedding, we knew we needed an experienced and dedicated wedding planner to turn our dreams into reality. Little did we know that we would find an absolute gem in the world of wedding planning - Tanya.
From the very first interaction, Tanya exuded warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for her work. Her expertise in destination weddings was evident as she guided us through the entire process with grace and efficiency. We had chosen a breathtaking beach location for our special day, and Tanya's knowledge of the area and local vendors proved invaluable in making our vision a reality.
Throughout the planning process, Tanya was an absolute joy to work with. She listened intently to our ideas, preferences, and concerns, and she crafted a wedding package that perfectly suited our style and budget. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she thought of aspects we hadn't even considered, ensuring that no stone was left unturned.
Tanya's organizational skills were second to none.

I cannot emphasize enough how crucial it is to find the perfect wedding planner for your big day. My husband and I were fortunate enough to stumble upon Tanya Wilbon from The Event Group International, and we couldn't have asked for a more remarkable experience.
From the moment we met Tanya, it was evident that she was not just another wedding planner – she was a true expert who understood the intricacies of the business. But what truly set her apart was her genuine dedication and passion for what she does. Tanya wasn't just organizing our wedding; she was emotionally invested in making it the most magical day of our lives.
Throughout the entire process, Tanya and her amazing staff treated us like we were their only clients. Their level of care, attention to detail, and tireless effort to ensure our dream wedding became a reality was awe-inspiring. They went above and beyond any expectation we had and truly left no stone unturned.
What impressed us most was that Tanya became our advocate, our rock, and our defense against any potential issues that arose with other vendors. She fiercely protected our interests, ensuring everything was up to par and of the highest quality. This allowed us to fully enjoy the planning process without unnecessary stress.
Over the course of the 16 months leading up to the wedding, Tanya became an integral part of our family. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering support made her not just a wedding planner but a friend.

Hiring Tanya for our destination wedding in Italy was the most intelligent decision that we have made. From the very first consultation until the last dance, Tanya's exceptional skills as a wedding planner left us in awe and ensured that our special day was nothing short of perfect.
Tanya's attention to detail and meticulous planning were evident in every aspect of our wedding. She took the time to understand our vision and turned it into a reality that exceeded our expectations. Her knowledge of the local vendors, venues, and suppliers in Italy was invaluable, as she guided us through the entire process effortlessly.

To Tanya, Carrie, and the entire TEGI team,
There are simply not enough words for how grateful we are for your support during this process. I am the type of person who is used to everyone leaning on me to carry out the group project, and I put a lot of my pressure on myself to make it perfect. When it came to wedding planning, Tanya and Carrie took this pressure off of my shoulders, and enabled me to breathe. This was such a powerful gift and I can never thank them enough. They supported us throughout this journey in countless ways, from offering the best recommendations leading up to the wedding, to taking over the event in the final weeks and especially the weekend of the event. They helped establish a fantastic timeline, guided the groomsmen suit selections, coordinated between various vendors, and so, so much more. Perhaps most astonishing of all was the way they took the vision for the wedding and created truly the most beautiful, spectacular event space I have ever seen. Nearly every guest we talked to said this was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. The flowers were truly beyond breathtaking. It was like being in an enchanted forest— absolutely magical. Tanya’s team not only created this stunning production, but they also enabled us to truly and fully let go on wedding week. They choreographed our rehearsal, which we desperately needed lol. When a small, casual “welcome drink” moment turned into a big party, they worked closely with the Conrad to make sure everyone and everything was taken care of perfectly. On the day of, we had the most incredible team guiding us through the day, organizing the chaotic groomsmen, supporting us every single step. At the end of the wedding, we were able to go back to rooms with our dresses, wedding items, and suits perfectly organized. It was truly incredible and we are beyond amazed with their kindness, support, and dedication to our day. Carrie and Tanya are two very special people to us, and will forever hold such a special place in our hearts. We are so thankful for every ounce of love and hard work they poured into the event. It radiated through our day, and enabled us to let go and simply take in what was the absolute most spectacular weekend and day of our entire lives. We will never forget every big and small effort they did as it truly made all the difference in the world.

Destination Wedding planner you MUST have. When we decided to get married in Portugal, all we knew was that. Frankly, the only city we were familiar with was Lisbon until we met with Tanya from TEGI. Although based in the US, her and her staff’s level of knowledge the where, the what, and the hows of getting married in Portugal was astounding. Tanya and Sofia (the country specialist) worked with us to create a magical and unforgettable wedding week of fun and events with the wedding taking place on Saturday. Our guests traveled from across the world to experience an incredible venue – a hidden gem in the heart of Porto, delicious food, romantic gospel choirs, street performers, a heartwarming celebrant, and much much more… We will be forever grateful to Tanya and Sofia for their dedication, creativity and commitment to creating the most epic wedding ever. Tailored brilliantly to our personalities, the beautiful memories created will live with us (and our guests) forever!

When my husband and I were looking for a planner, we wanted someone who would help us navigate our way through the wedding process while still giving us the autonomy to choose our vendors. We were referred to The Event Group International and were fortunate to have caught up to Tanya and had an in-depth conversation about our needs. And although Tanya was not available to be our Wedding planner, the talent she has working for her company is the best in the business. This is how we met Beatrice, a Senior Wedding Designer, and Planner for TEGI. Beatrice was precisely what we were looking for in a planner. She provided general directions for us and gave us a very helpful planning timeline to help keep us on track. She also frequently checked up on us and was super patient with our questions in the months leading up to the wedding. Whenever we needed vendor recommendations, Beatrice always gave us many options and advice on what to look for when choosing a vendor. I am so thankful for her finding one of my most important vendors—the seamstress. I ordered my dress late and only had a month to get alterations done before the wedding. Beatrice found a last-minute seamstress who was very experienced, inexpensive, and a joy to work with. The month before our wedding, Beatrice took over, and we were so grateful because we had no idea about the logistical side of the wedding. She coordinated everything between our vendors and made an extremely detailed day-of timeline. Then, on the big day, Beatrice made sure that everything ran smoothly. Thanks to her, our day was perfect. From contacting and choosing vendors, walking through at the rehearsal, and making sure everything was on schedule on the day of the wedding, Beatrice did an excellent job of handling all aspects of our wedding, and she was so sweet and personable, too. I cannot recommend her enough!”

When my fiancee suggested, at an early stage in our wedding planning, that we hire a planner I must admit to being against it. We seemed to be doing fine with it ourselves (really, 95% here!) and I just couldn't see the value in the extra cost of hiring someone else to do the planning. I had no idea how wrong I was! Hiring Tanya was worth ten times what she charged us! Not only that, she now feels like a dear friend who we would be happy to see anytime. She has an instinctive sense of how to deal with people to get everything done perfectly and leave everyone feeling good about it in the process. She was highly professional in every interaction with us, with family and friends, with vendors, and with church officials. Her level of knowledge and sense of style are excellent. She has many contacts with a range of vendors for every aspect of a wedding and they, in turn, are highly reliable, professional, and of the highest quality. She is also a truly warm and wonderful person herself which makes the whole process so very pleasant. In the end, we came to rely very heavily on Tanya, and in return, she helped give us the wedding that was truly a dream come true. Not only would I recommend her I would urge any couple planning a wedding to hire Tanya and her team as soon as possible! She will make your life and wedding better than you know!
Grateful forever

Choosing Tanya to come to my rescue was the best planning decision I made. She has a great personality and work ethic. I always felt like I was talking to a friend because she is so personable and reliable. I knew that I could count on her and that was a great feeling to ease all the pressure and calm my nerves. She was able to keep me grounded by telling me the things that mattered-what to focus on, and the things that nobody notices anyway. She gave great referrals, which were amazing, 5-star vendors. She answered every one of my million questions and concerns without hesitation. She took care of everything on the day of which allowed me to relax and enjoy my wedding day. Tanya, you and your crew were amazing! Thank you so much!!

Tanya was a dream come true. Planning a destination wedding generally isn't easy, but she sure made it feel like a breeze. She did not forget a single thing! She was so polite and comforting when I was having my bridal panic attacks. She brought a lot of extra staff members, not planned for, hours before the wedding to make sure we met our timeline with the crazy weather we experienced! Our wedding would have been a flop without her and we cannot thank her enough! Absolutely amazing!

Best wedding planner ever!
Tanya was a godsend with planning! We absolutely adored having her plan our special day, with both our wedding planning and our wedding decor/florals. We were planning from out of state and she was always ready to help us out with recommendations, what we needed to do next, and for doing our florals. Our day went so smoothly and without a hitch. She helped make our special day stressful free and we will hire her in a heartbeat if we have another event in the future.
Thank you so much.

My husband Joshua and I highly recommend Tanya Wilbon to be your wedding planner. She was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond our expectations ten years ago. Tanya was a huge part of our lives for the ten months of wedding preparation and helped with details big and small. On the day of the wedding, she was instrumental on keeping everyone and everything in place with things many couples never have time to think about: the itinerary of the day, transportation, musician sheet music, marriage license, and even a sewing kit that was needed on a groomsman just twenty minutes before our ceremony! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!!

I can’t begin to thank Tanya and her team for making our daughter’s wedding the most wonderful event possible. I considered planning the event myself but quickly learned how much I didn’t know. Tanya’s attention to detail, her knowledge of the vendors in the area and her ability to adjust to any crisis (like an unexpected rain cloud for our outdoor ceremony) are unparalleled. She transformed our barn welcome reception into a charming Vermont soirée complete with Adirondack chairs, fire pits with s’mores, twinkle lights and a whiskey barrel bar. Then she coordinated a last-minute switch from outdoor to indoor ceremony with barely a hiccup. And a ski base lodge was transformed into an elegant wonderland with dozens of small details. Most helpful was her knowledge of what needs to be arranged and when. We could not have pulled off such an exquisite event without her. She and her team truly outdid all of our expectations. What a special weekend we had. We are truly grateful!

Without Tanya, we wouldn't have had a wedding. In fact, we may not have gotten married altogether. As an out-of-state couple, I couldn't imagine planning a wedding. Tanya is worth her weight in gold. She helped us reschedule not once but TWICE!! We ended up eloping and planning a reception instead of a wedding, so our event ended up entirely different from the one originally planned, and Tanya walked us through every step of the way. Can't recommend enough! She’ll be planning all my personal and business functions as I know they will be done perfectly.

She is professional, confident, super organized, calm, and reassuring. Her knowledge/expertise in wedding planning is on point and her attention to detail is amazing. Communication between all of us in different places was not an issue at all.
The week/day of the wedding went so smoothly, her timeline is so detailed and down to the minute... Everyone knew where/when they needed to be. She truly took the worry out of everything...
We could not have been happier with Tanya, she was totally devoted to ensuring our wedding was perfect and it was...
She is absolutely worth every penny and we were blessed to have her as our coordinator. She is a lovely person inside and out and our family has gained a friendship with Tanya...
Hire her, you will be forever grateful!

The main reasons that I wanted to work with a wedding planner were because I had no idea where to start planning a wedding, and even more, I wanted our families, friends, and us to be able to relax and truly enjoy the wedding weekend. Nevertheless, my fiancé was not thrilled about the idea of hiring a planner, but he agreed to consider it, so we met with Tanya of TEGI. After meeting Tanya, I knew right away that we should to hire her, and the doubts that my fiancé had were gone as well. Before I met Tanya, I was nervous and not excited about planning the wedding, but Tanya put me at ease and made me really excited about planning our wedding. Planning our wedding was a ton of work, and we could not have done it without Tanya. Tanya was amazing throughout the entire planning process. She helped us to pick vendors that we loved without blowing our budget. She is extremely professional and detail-oriented, but also a ton of fun to work with! Tanya and her staff worked extremely hard to make our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend using The Event Group International!

We hired TEGI as month-of coordinators, and we are SO glad we did. We went into the wedding planning process thinking we could handle it ourselves...but having Tanya and her team to support us in the final stretch was worth every penny. They dutifully tracked down vendors' paperwork to submit to the venue, coordinated the final timeline, made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right times, and had so many helpful suggestions and feedback on everything from the best placement of the gift table to what kind of escort cards would make the most sense for our outdoor venue throughout that entire final month. We had a Persian/American blended wedding, so they had the extra challenge of having to set up a sofreh which they'd never even heard of! But they nailed it (with a little help) and everything looked great, and they loaded all of our stuff (TWO cars worth) into our cars themselves at the end of the night so we could focus on our guests. They attended our venue walkthrough and any other final meetings as well as our rehearsal the day before, and really just made us feel like we could "let go" and actually enjoy our wedding on the day. The peace of mind was honestly priceless.

Hiring Tanya was, hands down, the best decision we could have made for our wedding. From the first time we sat down with her, to every email, phone call, and meeting we had, Tanya understood everything that we were looking for and helped us to create a wedding better than anything we could have imagined.
In the weeks/months leading up to the wedding both my mother and I sent more emails and made more phone calls than we'd care to admit, and Tanya took every one as if it were her main priority. She walked us through everything, gave us all the possible scenarios, and explained to us what she would do, without ever making us feel pressured to make a certain decision. Our plan was to be married outside, but as it goes, you cant always count on the weather. The morning of, Tanya came in, sat me down and told me we were going to have to do our back up plan. After a brief moment of tears, Tanya completely calmed me and helped me to realize the day would still be perfect, which it was, because of her. 5 stars really aren't enough for her, and I could write for hours about how great she is, but all that needs to be said is do yourself the biggest favor and hire The Event Group International. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tanya. We wish we could do it all over again with you!

As soon as we got engaged Vikal and I started looking into wedding planners. Planning a wedding from across the world, even if it was a year away, would be far from easy. A close friend who faced a similar situation recommended Tanya from The Event group international and when I met Tanya to discuss the plan I knew we had found a kindred soul that just got me. From then on Tanya and I started months of long distance calls, e-mails and messages planning every little detail, and we never questioned any of their ideas- they asked for a theme, a color, a muse and presented us with a design that surpassed any of my expectations. When it came time for the wedding week they were so hands on that Jon and I did not have to worry about last minute work and their delivery was impeccable! We were in awe of every piece of decor, every placement and every light and knew that, as important as this day was for us, they honored that and made it more memorable than we could have imagined. Thank you Tanya and your incredible team for all the work, late nights, e-mails, phone calls and running around you did with me. We are eternally grateful and blessed to have you both as part of our bridal team and will forever look back on that time and thank you for everything you have done.

I found TGI’s service very professional. My fiancé and I experienced a life changing event a week before our wedding and Tanya’s team stepped in to make sure we would still be able to have the experience we had been planning for the last 9 months. Not only did they deliver, but the vendors she connected us with met the marks and I’d recommend their service to anyone who’s planning for one of the most important days of their lives. Not that I plan on getting married again, but I’d definitely chose Tanya’s services for future events.

Tanya and her team were a life savior. We had a two-day wedding, and she took the stress out of our family. She directed the baraat and made sure my family and guests knew where to go and had a good time. She created a timeline, which kept the events running smoothly. Our parents had such a huge pressure lifted off of them. She took control of the day, and fixed issues that arise without us having to worry. Planning an Indian wedding is stressful, so I would recommend you hire Tanya and enjoy your time. We had so much fun!

When you hire Tanya you just made your dream wedding come true. I could never have imagined the levels and extremes a planner would go to ensure perfection. Tanya thought of every detail and every possible need and made a spectacular day filled with love and laughs for our families. Our venue was a little tricky because it was so a private home so far away from Charlotte. But Tanya never had an issue navigating that and made sure we prepared for every scenario. She knew the BEST vendors (I’ve had people asking for recipes from the caterer) and was able to make us feel so at ease. My husband and I had always wanted a small wedding and were able to get married in the enchanted forest that Tanya and her team had created. The thing about Tanya is not only the is she incredible at what she does she also is one of the warmest people you will ever meet and you will get nothing but love and expertise when working with her. She made my dreams into a reality.
Forever grateful.

When my daughter told me she wanted to hire a wedding planner, I questioned whether or not we needed one. Well, my daughter's beautiful wedding was two weeks ago, and I cannot begin to imagine that day without Tanya. Tanya is one of the most genuine, caring, conscientious, organized people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Tanya took such good care of my daughter for the months leading up to the wedding that I was confident that the wedding day itself would be perfect. It was! Tanya handled so much behind the scenes with all of our vendors that I was truly able to enjoy the event. I remember passing by my daughter's room in the late evening (we were all staying at the hotel), and I saw Tanya in the room with hotel staff tidying up and making sure that the suite was ready for the newlyweds to come back to after they partied the night away. It made me emotional to know that my little girl was being taken care of so wonderfully. When I think back to asking my daughter about whether we needed a planner, I know now that what we needed was Tanya. I adore Tanya, and will always be grateful to her for being there for us.

HIRING TANYA WAS THE BEST DECISION WE COULD HAVE MADE FOR OUR WEDDING!
She is professional, helpful, resourceful, and does a great job keeping you calm during the stressful wedding moments 🙂 I hired Tanya in the very beginning of my planning and she helped with everything! She created a monthly timeline for me, she recommend vendors, and was constantly checking in with me. She responded right away to emails and texts. She helped me work within my flower budget and found an amazing vendor for me that exceeded my expectations of what I thought I could afford. She attended vendor meetings with me as well as our food tasting to make sure everything was good with our venue. She reached out to all of my vendors to create the perfect timeline for the wedding day. She understood my vision right away was constantly sending me examples of things I could include to really make the wedding pop! When it came to the day of the wedding everything was flawless. I didn’t have to worry about anything because Tanya was taking care of it all. She and her team stayed until the very end of the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend Tanya for your wedding!

Tanya,
We could not say enough good things about you! We really appreciate all that you did to help us on our special day. We were concerned because we were planning a destination wedding, but you helped put our mind at ease. You made the entrie process calm and seamless. You truly are a "master" event planner. Our wedding would not have been possible without all of your knowledge, connections, partnerships, hard work and dedication.
Forever grateful. A million thanks, again,
Sasha Bryce

People don’t think about how much goes into the day of your wedding and all the tiny things that need taken care of, and Tanya and her team makes sure all of it is organized, solid, and ready for your wedding day.... TEGI planned my wedding, I have been to a wedding planned by TEGI, I have assisted alongside Tanya (who is absolute boss woman goals for women in the business industry) in weddings planned by her, and I am also in a wedding this fall by The Event Group International. So I can say that all around, no matter if you’re a guest, a vendor, a member of the wedding party, or the actual bride, the Event Group International is the key to making the entire event be everything you ever dreamed of.

“A DREAM WEDDING” where everything was PERFECTION! Tanya Wilbon and the entire team made sure of that by taking care of every little detail leaving us and our families to only relax and enjoy our beautiful wedding.
They are very professional yet so personal. All the meetings with Tanya, Seyia, Mieya and their team were so much fun and extremely helpful where we could discuss all minute details beforehand making things much easier while you get all set for the Big Day. Everything was much more gorgeous than what was discussed and planned. Their team makes you and your guests feel so special that each one still compliments us about our wonderful wedding. A big thank you to Tanya and the entire crew who were very friendly enthusiastic, and taking care of the entire wedding and made our dream wedding come true.

Hi Tanya.
Now we are slowly coming back down to reality and have time to appreciate our incredible wedding, Thomas and I just wanted to thank you for absolutely everything you have done for us for the last 12 months. From start to finish you have been the most professional, thorough and slick team ever. I knew as soon as we met you that we were in safe hands but you exceeded our expectations. All our guests have said that the wedding was once in a lifetime and have commented on how conscious you both were that everyone was having the best time ever. We can never honestly thank you enough. You knew exactly what our vision was within a couple of hours of meeting us 14 months ago and have gone above and beyond to ensure that the wedding was everything we had discussed. I cannot recommend you and your company enough. Absolutely incredible service and we will be forever thankful.
All our love, The Sausedos xxxx

I could sing praises for Tanya for DAYS - she is a wonderful human and an incredibly talented, experienced wedding planner. Once we found Tanya to manage our wedding plans, I never once felt nervous or stressed about our wedding day. She truly took care of everything. She has great relationships with tons of top-notch vendors, and she made sure that everything we needed from them, from flowers to linens, was ordered just as we wanted. Our day was perfect, and I give her so much credit for that! Working with Tanya is not only a great investment to make your wedding planning and wedding day run smoothly, but it is also a chance to make your wedding day exactly what you want it to be as she will take your dreams and make them come true!

Tanya made our dream wedding a reality. She brings such a positive energy to wedding planning and helps you get through any stressful moments with ease. Particularly on the day of the wedding, she ensures that you don't have to worry about a thing except for enjoying yourself. I really can't imagine the wedding planning process without Tanya!

Tanya, I just wanted to thank you again for all that you did for my daughter’s wedding. Your personal touches made everything just perfect. I admit I was skeptical when the kids chose a place so far away, I really didn’t think it was fair to the guests to have to go so far. However, everyone how attended said it was the best wedding they has ever attended.. We wanted the guests to feel special and they obviously did. Every time I looked at Cloe she was so happy and at ease. As the mother of the bride, I was able to worry about very little, and really enjoy myself.
Thank you again for making Cloe’s dream wedding come true!
