Simply Amazing

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.

Amazing Wedding Planner

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.

Perfect Day!

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!
