After postponing our wedding due to Covid, my fiancé and I decided to hire a wedding coordinator to relieve some of my stress — I wish we had done it sooner!

Tyra is a godsend. She is professional, prompt, organized and has an amazing vendor network. I saved hundreds of dollars using her recommendations for florals, lighting and hair.

Our wedding day was perfect! As with any wedding, there were a few hiccups throughout the day, but I had no clue. Tyra took care of everything from start to finish. To top it all off, hubby and I left for our honeymoon the morning after the wedding, so Tyra returned our rental linens so we wouldn’t incur a late fee! Top notch service. I’d recommend her any day!

If you're debating whether or not to hire a day-of coordinator, I'm here to tell you that you absolutely should. And if you're debating whether or not to hire Tyra, I'm here to tell you that will be one of the best decisions for your wedding day.

My wife and I had the privilege of working with Tyra for our brunch wedding in May 2024 in Washington, DC. Amongst a whole host of unique elements and complexities (abbreviated timeline, partially rented space, three music setups, etc), Tyra was on top of all the details with expertise, warmth, and finesse.

From unlimited check-ins up until the day to taking care of all the vendor communications a month out, the face value of our package with Tyra was unbeatable. But the real value is in Tyra herself, whose presence on our day was truly priceless.

Tyra was incredible. We hired her as a day of/month of planner, and she was on top of it from day 1. She was easy to work with, organized, and didn't ever get flustered. She was accessible and responsive, had great advice when we needed it and let us do our thing when we had our own vision.

Hiring Tyra was, without question, one of the best choices we made in the lead-up to our wedding.

My (now) husband and I both had a strong vision for how we envisioned the day, but wanted to be able to take it in without fretting about logistics. Then we met Tyra and signed on for her Wedding Management services. We started out with monthly check-ins, where she would track our progress and provide helpful recommendations. We felt immediately comfortable that one of the biggest days of our lives was in the right hands. At a month out, we did a walkthrough of the venue and Tyra connected with our vendors to start taking logistics off our plate. On the day of our wedding, Tyra and her team were amazing.

Little things always go awry on Wedding Day, so having someone on hand to make sure relatives know where they need to be, to troubleshoot when furniture breaks, to hunt down missing shuttles, and to make sure the couple getting married have space to eat makes a huge difference. We were particularly grateful for the enthusiasm and respect she brought to her communications with our vendors. It made a real difference on our wedding day and created a truly warm and positive environment.

Tyra is amazing and we fell lucky we got the chance to work with her.

Tyra is knowledgeable, organized, kind, trustworthy, helpful, and calm. We felt that booking Events by Tyra was an incredible value because she offers virtual meetings as soon as you book her. We had a year and a half to chat with her to develop the vision and make plans for the wedding.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Tyra. She went well above and beyond my expectations to make sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. We were able to fully enjoy our day knowing all the details were in Tyra's care.

Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she managed our collection of vendors with professionalism and ease. Throughout the planning process, she made herself available to answer questions and give recommendations. In the weeks leading up to the event, she took over vendor comms, created a wonderful timeline and venue layout, and generally took all the stress off my shoulders. 100% recommend bringing a coordinator on board for the weeks leading up the event, not just day-of; this was absolutely critical to everything running smoothly.

I am a ridiculously Type A person who has professional experience with event planning, and Tyra thought of details even I missed. She's also a delightful, lovely person, and that makes her all the more fun to work with. Seriously, you need her for your big day.

Tyra is amazing! Before hiring her, we were overwhelmed by all of the small details that needed to fall into place for our wedding, but she made everything easier as soon as we brought her on board. She immediately took over coordinating with all of our vendors, contacting and creating detailed, individual timelines for them. She visited the venue weeks ahead of time to scope out the space and plan for the event itself. She really shined on the day of the wedding. She handled all of the nitty-gritty details, coordinating the placement of decorations, managing all of our vendors, and making sure everyone got their food (the bride, groom, guests, and vendors!). Tyra is incredibly friendly, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I’m sure she will make your wedding stress-free as she did for ours.

Tyra helped us bring our vision for an intimate yet complex DC wedding ceremony to life. She is a fantastic listener, with incredible foresight, and attention to detail. From our first meeting, her professional experience was evident. She helped us hone in on the essential tasks that we needed to get done, and acted as a sounding board for our ideas and frustrations, contributing helpful advice and ideas of her own. Tyra is highly organized and has created timely and easy-to-follow systems for communication and keeping you updated. She not only anticipates your needs and proactively problem solves, but is a delight as she does it! We received multiple compliments from our vendors throughout our planning process about Tyra's work, helpful communication, and friendliness. For individuals or couples considering Events by Tyra, we wholeheartedly recommend her planning and event coordination prowess! Best to you Tyra! We are so thankful for your time and skill and truly enjoyed working and laughing with you!

Tyra is extremely detailed oriented! She helped guide us in planning our micro wedding after canceling our bigger wedding secondary to the pandemic. She was like a guardian angel and helped assist us in planning an amazing wedding day. Hire her!!!!!

Tyra made our wedding day happen and turned what could have been a chaotic and stressful day into a smooth and magical event. Knowing she was in charge helped us relax and enjoy the day itself and the days leading up to it. She did a great job managing vendors and designing gorgeous tablescapes for our reception. She was responsive to items we raised or questions we had throughout the day and evening, problem solving and resolving issues as they arose. We're so glad we hired Tyra for our wedding!!
