Absolutely Perfect!

We had the pleasure of working with Tan Weddings and Events for our wedding. Rick, our officiant, truly exceeded our expectations! Even though we were planning everything from Canada, Rick made the process so easy and stress-free. He took the time to personalize our ceremony, providing us with simple scripts that allowed us to make it our own. His calming presence and warm demeanor made us feel completely at ease, and his friendly approach helped make our ceremony exactly what we wanted. Our guests were blown away by him, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Rick and Tan Weddings and Events for anyone looking for a truly memorable ceremony! Thank you Rick!

Dream planning team!

Rick and Jennifer Tan are a wedding planning dream team! They were extremely communicative and organized throughout the planning journey, ensuring that we remained timely in all of our vendor selections and logistical decision making. They were also incredible helpful on the actual day, putting our minds at ease and addressing all of the last minute snags and adjustments that had to (inevitably occur.) I cannot wait to use them for another event!

So glad we booked TWE as our officiant!

We booked Tan Weddings & Events for our wedding officiant and we had such a positive experience!

We worked with Rev Rick Tan as our officiant. Rev Rick was super organized and all communication was quick and clear. Rev Rick helped us craft our perfect ceremony script. We had the ability to provide a lot of input and include personal touches. I really loved that Rev Rick took our input and created a beautiful ceremony script that was well-written, clear, and sentimental.

The day after our wedding, my husband and I were talking about the ceremony and how impressed we were with how it turned out. The day was smooth and Rev Rick's words to us ahead of time really eased our nerves. He was able to obtain our witness signature quickly and helped us with submitting the marriage license to the county, We are so thankful for Rev Rick and recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant around Sacramento.

Thank you Tan Weddings & Events!

Rick, Jennifer and team were an absolute pleasure to work with and are truly experts at what they do. From the day we did our initial consult up until the big day (and then some), Rick and team were guiding us through every single step, making sure we didn't forget anything. They are extremely responsive, organized, and just made the planning process so much smoother (and way less overwhelming)! On the big day, they kept everything in check, constantly made sure my husband and I had everything we needed, and everything was executed perfectly despite last minute changes due to weather. We are so grateful for all their help in planning our wedding, and we couldn't be more happy with their work! I would recommend Tan Weddings & Events to anyone that needs a wedding planner!

Gave us the PERFECT ceremony!!!!!

Rev. Rick Tan officiated our wedding ceremony on June 3, 2023. I can't even begin to explain how perfect our ceremony was!!! Hands down best money spent on our wedding day and worth every penny!!!! If you're looking for a professional, well-spoken (loud & clear), personable, friendly, well dressed, well put together officiant with great presence and energy then look no further. I tasked my husband with finding an officiant for our wedding and I'm so glad that he found him. My husband searched wedding wire and originally reached out to another officiant but she was already booked so she recommended Tan Events & Wedding Officiant to us.

The whole process was so smooth and he communicated with us very well through email. He provided a selection of scripts that we chose from and then he personalized the script to our love story. He is such an amazing story teller! From the way that he told our story, it was so intimate and personal that all of our guests thought he was a relative or a very close friend of ours when in reality we had just met him 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. Pictures do not do his services any justice. If you want to see his actual work, you can see bits and pieces of it through our wedding trailer and video. We are also soooo pleased and impressed that he pronounced our names correctly!!! And extra points for stepping out of the shot for our first kiss! Highly, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Fabulous - phenomenal team

If you are reading this, it probably means you’ve looked up the Tan Wedding and Events. Your next step should be - hire them ! I cannot begin to describe how their whole team is extremely organized, diligent, thoughtful.

To begin with the planning stage: what they do well is, breaking down the building blocks and making sure you execute every step in a thoughtful manner. Their timelines are helpful as it doesn’t overwhelm you. They are also there to provide unbiased advice. What they did very well was, they let us create our own wedding event while providing advice from their experience of managing myriad weddings (and they are good at also dissuading you from ideas that may not be the best from an execution standpoint). Their portfolio includes a diverse set of weddings, another reason why we hired them. The biggest benefit I think in this stage was their network of vendors - they helped us narrow the portfolio of vendors and helped us analyze the choices we had.

Execution stage: about 1-2 months before is time you will be most busy. They were very good about flagging items we may have missed and keeping us on track. They helped us design our wedding venue as well (layout etc) - we did not know how much we didn’t know until we got into it.

On the day of: production: the wedding looked incredible - everything was meticulously placed, beautifully designed. One of my bridal party members could not attend due to Covid, but their team helped me wherever possible. I do think they went above and beyond our expectations! Their level of calm and professionalism stood out to us. They helped keep time, process and they were flexible with changes too as our day progressed.

To summarize - my husband and I feel incredibly blessed to have TWE plan our wedding. When I look back at our wedding picture - my heart is filled with immense gratitude to TWE.

The very best - absolutely fabulous

We were so lucky to have Tan Weddings plan our wedding. Having them help us was an absolute home run decision.

Rick and Jennifer are incredibly competent and had the experience, connections, and expertise to help us get clarity on what we wanted to have our wedding be like and then make that happen exactly as we'd hoped for. In addition to helping us come up with a vision, provide guidance where we needed it, and making it all come to life, Rick officiated the wedding, and did such a fabulous job. We appreciated his warmth and charisma.

The Tan's style is warm, calm, collaborative, supportive, and totally competent. We had no drama or stress during the entire process; I never worried about anything about the wedding because the Tan's so clearly had everything under control. We were able relax and enjoy not just the wedding, but the planning planning thanks to the Tans. We felt we found new friends, and I will miss our calls and texts!

I cannot recommend them highly enough; if you're looking for someone to help with wedding or event planning, you absolutely cannot to better. They are simply wonderful.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
