Tyler is a unicorn. That is the only word that even begins to capture his unique combination of creativity, professionalism, executional excellence, industry knowledge/relationships and entrepreneurialism. Working with Tyler was the single best and most important decision I made throughout the whole wedding planning process. If you have the opportunity, working with him is a no-brainer. Allow me to elaborate:
- Creativity & Design: He is a bonafide creative visionary. We gave him very abstract, even ambiguous, direction and a timeline of <2 months. He was able to design a wedding weekend that was perfect—beyond my wildest dreams. People constantly comment that our wedding was the most beautiful they have ever seen.
- Professionalism & Service: The quality of service he provides makes you feel truly taken care of every step of the way. He is extremely organized, responsive, attentive and transparent. When you work with him you will feel like his top priority—he will be generous with his time, make sure every detail is perfect and advocate on your behalf whenever necessary.
- Entrepreneurialism & Adaptability: He will deliver impeccable results regardless of your budget, timeline, wedding size etc. He adapted to our needs and respected our limitations/boundaries without sacrificing quality.
- Industry Knowledge & Relationships: He has deep relationships in the industry. Tyler is loved by all and vendors will go above and beyond for him. By working with Tyler you will receive a higher level of service and better value from your other vendors because they all respect and want to work with him.
- Character: He is an amazing person. You will want to be best friends with Tyler. Your friends and relatives will, too. It makes such a difference to be working with someone you like and trust at this special moment in your life!
I'm so happy we decided to work with Tyler. From the early days of wedding planning during the the pandemic, to modifying plans as new gathering rules went into effect just before our wedding, Tyler was always cool, calm and collected. He helped make me feel at ease with all the unknowns. Tyler's design and flower skills are also unmatched. Our wedding was so beautiful, fun and every detail/event went perfectly thanks to Tyler.
My husband and I booked Tyler + team back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding. Unfortunately, COVID had other plans and like so many couples, our wedding had to go through date changes, vendor changes, guest count changes, etc. and it was stressful to say the least! Tyler was so compassionate, encouraging and thoughtful throughout the entire process and helped us still have the wedding of our dreams despite it being re imagined from what we originally signed up for. Tyler, you are way more than a wedding planner. Thank you for sticking by our side and always keeping us on track! We couldn’t have done it without you!
Weddings are stressful. It's like remodeling a house. If you don't hire the right contractor, things can go south pretty quickly. I feel the same way about weddings, and that is why you need to hire Tyler Speier as your wedding planner.
As I look back on our daughter's wedding day, I thank my lucky stars that we were astute enough to hire Tyler to plan our daughter's most special day.
Several adjectives come to mind when I think of Tyler. Creative. Visionary. Exceptional. Adaptive. Diligent. Resourceful. Efficient. Dependable. Reliable. Trustworthy. Empathetic. Calm. Capable. Exceptional. Kind. AMAZING.
And because Tyler is truly all of those things and more, we felt one hundred percent comfortable and calm throughout the arduous wedding planning process, and entirely ecstatic with the end result. It was above beyond what we had hoped for and months later, our guests are still talking about the awe inspiring beauty that Tyler created that day.
Tyler is a brilliantly talented and creative person who will make any vision come to life. And he does so with such patience and calm and confidence, that you feel completely assured that you are in capable hands. He instills confidence with his calm demeanor, and even the most controlling personalities will feel comfortable placing their trust in Tyler.
I highly, and most enthusiastically, recommend Tyler and his team for your wedding planning needs. Tyler gives his time and attention to making sure even the smallest details are perfection, and his results are nothing short of stunning and spectacular!
If there is one takeaway and you only read the first line: Stop what you're doing right now and reach out to Tyler and his team to plan your wedding! If he is not available on the date you want, pick another one when he is available, and you will 100% not regret it. He and his team are simply the best. We started working with Tyler to plan our Santa Barbara wedding before COVID, and we all know what happened next. Tyler helped us replan our wedding 3 TIMES, all with grace and a level of positivity that is unheard of during such a crazy time (or ever, really), taking all of the stress of moving everything completely off of us. Rather than significantly modify our originally planned event, we were willing to wait for our dream wedding, and he more than delivered. He is an expert and thinks of every single detail. As we had no idea what goes into designing and planning an event, he guided us every step of the way and helped us make decisions around where to spend our time and money on things that would be super important to us. Also, his close relationships with all of the best vendors in the area are invaluable; they also had nothing but rave reviews for working with him. We honestly can't say enough great things about Tyler, and we wish we could do it all over again!
Tyler is the absolute best and won't stop until everything is perfect. He made sure every single tiny detail was sorted before the wedding and was equally prepared to handle anything that came up along the way without us ever knowing or stressing (which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free). Tyler also has so much experience too, he was able to save us from making any decisions we would have regretted later on and provided great advice along the way. Our wedding went absolutely perfectly and was everything we could have dreamed of thanks to Tyler!
I had no vision for my wedding day going into our first meeting. Tyler asked me to choose a handful of pictures on Pinterest that I liked and he ran with it. He helped me create a simple, yet perfect design for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. His Google Drive organization was impressive and he did not waste any of my time in our meetings. He did not pressure me to spend more than I had budgeted for. Tyler was quick to respond to emails and thought of questions I may have had before I even asked them! I also used Tyler for florals and am still dreaming about the bouquets and unique, minimalist table arrangements. Tyler is calm, confident, and extremely positive. I have no hesitations in recommending his team!
If you are questioning whether or not to hire a wedding planner, I highly recommend you do it and book Tyler and his team! My husband and I weren't sure if we needed a planner but hiring Tyler was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process, hands down. Knowing Tyler was there to think of anything we hadn't, handle and coordinate everything we had, and add his beautiful and elegant touch to our entire wedding genuinely made the process stress free. On top of that he is a true professional: detail-oriented, responsive, calm under pressure, and a joy to work with. He has an amazing reputation in the industry and can really get things done with his connections, even managing to get an off-the-list vendor approved at our venue! Everyone at our wedding was beyond impressed with him, we were married a year ago and our bridal party and family still talk about how amazing he was!
All I can say is, "Wow!" Tyler and team are incredible and will make all your event dreams come true. Tyler checks every box when it comes to qualities that you look for in a planner - he is extremely patient, flexible, dependable, and his eye for design is something you can't even imagine (all your ideas will be taken and turned into something you didn't even know was possible, promise!) Tyler alleviates any and all stress and creates an event that all your friends and family will be talking about long after the day is done. Our day was unforgettable and absolutely flawless thanks to Tyler and team.
Tyler and his team were amazing through the entire planning process as well as the wedding day. Tyler went above and beyond to make sure the event was perfect. He was creative, generous, dependent, and flexible. He was able to take my vision and execute perfectly. He took all the stress out of the execution and we could not have done it without him! I can't say enough good things about him and his team.
Sherine and I had an incredible experience working with Tyler, and would highly recommend him to anyone considering a wedding in the Southern California area. He's a best-in-class wedding planner and florist, and is well known with all local wedding vendors. From defining our vision through finding all the right vendors and picking the right menus, Tyler was an incredible partner for every step of the journey. If you choose to work with Tyler, you won't be disappointed!
Tyler and his team gave us confidence and peace of mind when it came to wedding planning. We were nervous about going way over budget, but once he came on board, he was able to refer vendors in our price range and recommend the best places to cut vs. splurge. Our wedding turned out beautiful (and stress free)!
We found Tyler when we were looking at a venue in Santa Barbara and fell in love with his style. The venue ended up not working in SB but we could not part with Tyler and his team so we worked to get him approved for our venue, Greengate in San Luis Obispo because we NEEDED him to be not only our planner but our florist as well. I am not going to lie, I was probably a huge headache to Tyler because I had a specific vision but also loved to change my mind but no matter what Tyler was patient and gave his honest opinion. I wanted to a lot of DIY things and Tyler not only supported me but worked with my on my budget to point out areas we could save to avoid me crazy stress which I appreciated so much. Tyler was great coordinating all the vendors and had all my flower dreams come true! He was always available through emails or calls. The week before the wedding there was a chance of rain for our outdoor wedding. I don't think I could have gotten through the stress without Tyler. He gave me all my options and again his honest opinion to decide what we should do! On the weekend of him and his team were rock stars!!! Tyler realized that the rehearsal at the church was not going as smoothly as possible due to the church coordination and made a decision to bring up another assistant to help with the church coordinators. With the extra help on the day of everything went perfectly. At the reception, Tyler and his team created what we wanted and more. Everything went off without a hitch. He made sure everyone stuck to our timeline, pulled me away when I needed to change, and made sure all our guest were having fun! We ran out of tequila twice and his team ran to the store to make sure the party didn't stop :) Tyler went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had the most perfect wedding weekend...and we did. Tyler is so incredibly talented as a planner and a florist and I HIGHLY recommend him to everyone (and have to all my friends).
I found and booked Tyler off of strong recommendations from Santa Barbara vendors and venues. He made my dream wedding a reality and kept the process fun, easy, and enjoyable for my husband and our families. The team of vendors he built were rock stars and his creative vision was the frosting on the cake. Every last detail was accounted for and he took my constant questions and stress with ease while making me feel confident in him and his team! They blew every expectation I had out of the water and our friends and family still comment on how beautiful, classic, full of love/joy/light our wedding day was. Tyler walked my husband and I through the reception area before our guests arrived as a sneak peek and it was everything I had envisioned but BETTER. I still remember seeing the ceremony area for the first time while I walked down the aisle and it truly took my breath away! Hire Tyler for a great wedding planning experience and a flawless wedding day!
Tyler and his team are extremely professional, creative, and friendly. There is no other team we would have rather worked with to bring our big day to life! They understood our vision, edited and enhanced it with their keen design sense and impeccable taste, and then executed every detail with the utmost care. They KNOW what they are doing and I would trust them with any event!
Do yourself a favor and just hire him. We booked a venue that was basically a shell and had to bring in toilets, generators, kitchen, the whole shebang, and we booked it 6.5 months in advance of our wedding date. Tyler took a situation that would have been incredibly stressful for us and, I kid you not, made it stress free. He's incredibly organized and takes the vision that you have and makes it 150% better than what you thought could be possible. It's been 7 months since the wedding and our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful it was, how incredible the flowers were, how seemless the day went, and on and on. Several of our friends in our wedding party have gotten married in the last three years and they all commented on how Tyler was better than their own planners. While my husband was at first skeptical at why we needed the planning service as opposed to a day of coordinator, he said after the fact that hiring Tyler was the second best decision we made (getting married was the first). You won't be disappointed if you go with Tyler, I promise.
Tyler and his team are the absolute best and I completely credit their creative vision, passion for their work, and problem solving abilities for me and my husband being able to have our dream wedding. From beginning to end Tyler was on top of everything and always giving ideas for a variety of price points so decision making was a simple and fully thought out process. As often happens, there were unexpected hurdles in the days before the wedding (100% chance of rain at one point, last minute additional guests, etc.) and Tyler came at everything with a can do attitude and worked tirelessly to adapt things so our ideal wedding stayed on track. He is also an extremely talented floral designer and I loved that he was able to incorporate that into the planning by being in charge of that too. I would recommend Tyler and his team to any bride and have been doing so to all of my friends who have gotten engaged since our wedding,
Tyler and his team are without reproach. He has the nicest staff and they are all so efficient! We chose to get the partial planning package, so Tyler really planned most of our wedding for us. We just made the phone calls. We told him what we were looking for and he gave us vendor suggestions, we didn't need to vet anyone or read reviews because we trusted his body of work. It made everything so much easier. Please, if you're considering hiring him, check out his ig page (@tylerspeier), it's filled with beautiful, romantic floral arrangements and really gives off that sort of unattainable, effortlessly chic vibe. That, it turns out, is actually quite attainable if you know who to ask.
Tyler is not just a wonderful florist, he is also so responsive and detail oriented. If you want someone to ensure that you don't need to worry about anything , he is your guy. I am an anxious person, I don't like large events and can find fault in most things. Besides our venue (Villa & Vine), we hadn't booked any of our other vendors. We owe the success of our entire wedding to Tyler, his staff and their network of wedding professionals. Our wedding went so incredibly smoothly in regards to all the logistics and timing. Everyone enjoyed themselves and people are still telling us about how beautiful it all was (4 months later). I could not recommend them more highly or be more grateful for their help.
To Tyler, Corina and the rest of the team who we didn't get to meet, thank you so so much!
Tyler and his team of designers and planners are amazing! He was my month of wedding planner as well as my event florist and designer. I gave him a few inspiration photos and told him to do his thing, he went above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined. He handled so many details in the planning and day of design for my wedding. He made everyone feel comfortable and was so professional. He is incredible!
Tyler Speier and his team are beyond the BEST! I finally found Tyler after a few lack luster conversations with other planners and from the moment my husband and I connected with Tyler, we knew he would be the best person to help plan/design our wedding. He was professional, responsive, relaxed, organized and understood our vision. He listened to what was most important to us and gave us a wonderful choice of top vendors to choose from that were in range with our budget. He was also our floralist and designed the most spectacular floral displays and bouquets! Our wedding day went off without a hitch and I am so grateful I was able to find and book such a wonderful person to play such a monumental role in our day. I am obsessed with all the vendors Tyler recommended for our wedding and I can’t thank Tyler and his team enough, they were my dream team!
Tyler was instrumental in making our wedding planning and wedding day seamless. My husband, parents and I were very impressed with Tyler and his team. It is very clear from the moment you start your communication with Tyler that he loves what he does, has the experience, and wants the wedding planning process to be as smooth for you as possible. His day of timeline is what sold us - the attention to detail is apparent.
My husband and I were caught in the middle of some venue property manger turn over and Tyler and his team worked out the kinks calming and effortlessly. They made sure myself (and my very anxious mom) were taken care of, and for that I can cannot thank them enough.
The only thing I would have changed - I would have spent the extra money to have Tyler and his team plan the wedding from start to finish, and not just the month and day of. He's worth it!
Tyler was instrumental in helping us plan a wedding that we absolutely loved. We used Tyler’s coordination and floral services, and we’re so glad we did! Tyler listened to our vision and ideas and created a cozy space that felt so much like “us”. Tyler is well- connected in the industry and gave us fantastic vendor recommendations. He also seamlessly made last-minute adjustments with vendors when we had to make changes due to weather! The florals and event space were executed perfectly, matched our vision entirely, and looked absolutely stunning. Our entire wedding weekend ran so smoothly with Tyler leading the way, and we were able to enjoy the time with each other, our families, and our friends. Tyler’s event planning experience is evident. Not only does he have the best suggestions for keeping the wedding lively and personal, but he is also incredible working with people and making sure everyone is enjoying the wedding. Tyler made us feel so important and special during the whole planning season. We are so grateful for the way he took time to get to know us and our vision and worked to help us start the first day of our marriage in such a beautiful way.
Hiring Tyler was 100% the best wedding planning decision that we made. We were planning a wedding in Santa Barbara, from out of state in Texas, so we were nervous about how to keep things going without physically being present in SB. Tyler was the key to us being organized, stress free, and also the brains behind the gorgeous day that we had. From the early planning stages, Typer was attentive, professional and listened to our wishes and ideas. I am personally not the best designer and planner, so Tyler did a great job using the small ideas we gave him and helping us morph them into something amazing that still represented us. He was able to keep everything on track, keep us organized from afar, and made the entire wedding planning experience fun and truly stress-free. We cannot thank him enough!

Booking Tyler was the single best decision I made about my wedding. Our big day was 100% stress free (seriously). He made the day so much fun for us and took care of every little detail so all we had to do was enjoy every moment. He was incredibly attentive, positive, and professional day-of, and was equally incredible leading up to the wedding. His creative vision came to life more beautifully than I ever could have imagined on my own, and he paid close attention to my feedback, making subtle changes to his original designs that made the wedding feel completely intimate and unique to our tastes. You MUST book Tyler! Tyler and his team are incredible, and I can't recommend them highly enough.
BEST WEDDING COORDINATOR! Words cannot possibly convey our thanks to Tyler. His calmness and direction provided for the smoothest wedding we could have imagined. The minute we met Tyler and his team we felt an incredible sense of relief and confidence. We thank him and his team for their hard work and making our big day their #1 priority.
I interviewed 3 planners and he was by far the most professional and organized. I'm so glad we chose him. He was our planner and our florist. He captured my design ideas and created inspiration pages for our consideration. We are busy out-of-towners and he kept us track with his emails on what decisions needed to be made and by when. Our guests were so impressed and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Tyler!
Tyler & his team were critical in helping plan and organize our big day. We felt confident and at ease having them in charge from the moment we first spoke! They are incredibly good at what they do and their dedication to their work shows in how well they execute it. We were grateful to have found them in our planning search and have been more than happy to recommend them to several friends. Not only is Tyler organized, talented, responsive, creative, and experienced, but he maintains a calm demeanor and exudes professionalism. We could not say enough how much we valued their work. Money well spent on such a busy day! We have been to other weddings were the lack of professionalism shows and we are forever grateful that we had Tyler with us on our big day and throughout the planning process. You can't go wrong in choosing him!
Way before I became engaged, I found Tyler Speier Events and fell in love with every aspect of the design on the website. The simple and elegance of the weddings I saw on there, I knew that I wanted him and his team to plan my wedding. Tyler was there from day one and helped with every single detail along the stressful way. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, Tyler and his team took care of it and made it so easy to get back on track. The day of, I had no doubt in my mind that things were going to go the way they were meant to go. Tyler keeps such a calm outlook on things that it made my butterflies and stress melt away. He and his team made our big day one that we will never forget. Thank you for everything Ty!
Tyler and his team blew me away! Tyler has incredible poise, professionalism and a passion for weddings. The whole wedding process was impeccable from start to finish! I am so thankful we found him, he calmed my nerves, created a beautiful venue design and absolutely gorgeous flowers. Our wedding was beautiful and flawless! I can not rave enough about him personally as well -a truly kind person!
What can we say about Tyler? I don’t think we could have made it through the big day without his help. He took of all our emails and ideas and was able to conceptualize them into our event. He walked us through the whole process and was able to point us in the right direction with caterers, vendors etc… The finished product was beyond our expectations. He anticipated our needs and those of our guests and had every detail mapped out to perfection. His connections and past experience made for one of the most seamless events we’ve ever been a part of. The stress of planning a wedding will take its toll on any couple but with Tyler’s help my husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding weekend stress free.
Not only is he a great planner but also an incredible florist. I wanted a particular look with my flowers, and Tyler was able to understand right away what I was going for. He was honest about budget vs reality with my flowers as well. The flowers made exactly the impact I wanted - and were beyond beautiful!
If you’re on the fence about needing a planner, USE HIM, you will not be disappointed. He was honestly the best investment we made in our wedding day.
From the first phone call, I knew Tyler was going to make my wedding day absolutely perfect, and he did! Everything from the rehearsal to the timeline to the handling of running out of Tequila was handled so well. He truly was so calm and joyful, and my husband and I just loved working with him. He took care of everything so that planning a wedding out of state was not stressful at all, and he has such an amazing vision. Tyler was the perfect wedding coordinator!
Every bride and groom's (and MOB's) FIRST call should be to Tyler. He is THAT GOOD. He calmly and creatively orchestrated the day my daughter had been dreaming of all her life. No detail was missed, and we had a seemingly flawless event for over 300 people, thanks to Tyler. He is incredibly organized, professional, fun, wise, inventive, easy-going, well connected, and truly a pleasure to work with.
BOOK TYLER! The wedding we had been planning for 9 months had to be relocated in 72 hours from Santa Barbara to LA given the massive wildfires this December and HE WAS A HERO!
The week before the wedding was insane, cancelling contracts, finding a new venue, coordinating a new floor plan, rentals, lighting, schedule.. literally EVERYTHING in a matter of days. The amazing wedding Tyler was able to pull together under such a tight time crunch was better than anything I could have imagined.
Tyler was an absolute dream to work with - positive energy, great sense of humor, unparalleled professionalism, innovative ideas, and he's just an all around incredible teammate . You want him with you for the all of the little details behind the scenes that make the wedding a great experience. He manages stress and the unexpected with the most amazing grace and became like family to us through the process.
I can't say enough positive things about Tyler and his team. He is simply the BEST!
Tyler was my sisters wedding coordinator. He is so kind, but also knows how to get the job done! He made this day perfect for my family and we would recommend him to anyone.
As the Mother of the Bride I thought I had to be more involved with making sure what my daughters vision was for her day was exactly what she wanted. I was wrong!! All we needed to do was let Tyler know what we wanted and he made it happen, not only what we had in mind but made it ever better. All details from the Bridal Flowers to the reception tables at El Paso, WOW the beautiful Wedding party head table!! I am still getting emails, texts and phone calls letting us know it was the most elagante and most detailed wedding ever, and we owe that to Tyler Speier Events for making it all happen!!
Oh my goodness I don't know where we would have been without Tyler and his team! He is amazing and your wedding is in good hands with him! He went above and beyond what I asked and I had total peace of mind on my wedding day that he and his team were on it. I did everything until 30 days before our wedding but he still checked in a few times to make sure I felt OK with how everything was going. Best coordinator in SB by far. He does details and design, that combo can be hard to find but he is amazing and definitely doing what he was made to do. Book Tyler and his team, you won't regret it.
