Tanaia Puchta (Wise)
Owner & Certified Wedding Planner
Tanaia was born and raised in Kalispell, MT. She is a fourth generation Montanan that comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. Her heart is to serve the Flathead Valley that she loves so much by planning beautiful weddings and events for its residents and admirers.
Tanaia attended Spokane Falls Community College where she received her Associates Degree in Business with a Certificate in Social Media Marketing. After graduating in December of 2016, she moved home to Kalispell. Her dream to plan weddings and events came naturally as she helped family and friends plan baby showers, weddings, and milestone birthdays. As she did this, she realized how alive she felt when helping to prepare a special occasion for someone else. From this, she decided that it was time to live out the age-old ideal, “Do what you love, love what you do, and you will never work a day in your life.”
That is what inspired her to pursue Certification in Wedding & Event Planning. Tanaia attended the Wedding Planning Institute and is now a Certified Wedding & Event Planner, specializing in Montana weddings as well as corporate and non-profit conferences. She is joyfully utilizing her education to help you plan your Montana dream wedding.

Tanaia is responsible, creative, knowledgeable, and most importantly, just a genuinely kind person who truly loves weddings and helping couples.
My fiancé and I interviewed Tanaia...
while searching for a wedding planner. We absolutely loved her, but ultimately chose the only full-service planner our venue recommended. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a huge mistake.
After several months of struggling to get our contracted planner to actually move our wedding forward, we reached back out to Tanaia—even though we weren’t her clients. She immediately welcomed us with kindness and spent nearly two hours on the phone helping us get back on track.
She shared planning guides, recommended excellent vendors, reminded us of important tasks we hadn’t even been told about (like our marriage license timeline), and offered thoughtful, creative ways to save money after our original planner had already pushed us well over budget. She knew the local vendor landscape incredibly well and gave us practical, realistic advice that was immediately useful.
We were planning a wedding in just six months with a healthy budget, and despite not being our planner, Tanaia gave us more value in one conversation than we had received in months from the planner we had hired.
Tanaia is calm, organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping couples have an amazing wedding. Looking back, I only wish we had trusted our instincts and hired her from the beginning.
If you’re considering working with Tanaia, don’t hesitate. She is exactly the kind of planner every couple hopes to find.
