Working with Taryn is always a pleasure. Her attention to detail, clear communication, and calm presence make every event run seamlessly from start to finish. She is incredibly organized, proactive with timelines, and ensures all vendors are aligned well in advance, which makes our job as a rental company smooth and efficient. We always look forward to collaborating with her and highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding.

I don’t even know where to begin. We were extremely fortunate to have been referred to Blake Events by a local wedding venue in our town. I think their exact words were something like, “We’re considering narrowing the list of planners we’re willing to work with, and if we could only work with Taryn and her team, we’d be thrilled.” That was all I needed to hear to schedule a call — and after our very first meeting with Taryn, I knew we didn’t need to meet with anyone else.

One of my biggest initial concerns was that we had chosen a brand-new venue that hadn’t yet hosted a wedding at the time we signed our contract. Taryn immediately put me at ease. Not only does she have extensive experience working with new venues, but she’s also incredibly skilled at anticipating needs we hadn’t even thought of and advocating for us during the contract phase with both the venue and our vendors.

Throughout our year of planning, Taryn and Logan kept us organized, on track, and stress-free. Nearly every vendor we worked with came from their recommendations — and every single one of them far exceeded our expectations. Taryn and her team walked the perfect line between listening to what we wanted and offering their professional insight when asked, and their suggestions were always spot on.

While we were consistently impressed by Taryn’s responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail during the planning process, the real magic happened over our wedding weekend. The Blake Events team were absolute rockstars. They thought of every detail, kept everyone gently on schedule, and somehow managed to anticipate every need before we even voiced it. Thanks to them, our day was seamless, joyful, and truly perfect in every way.

We can’t recommend Taryn and her team highly enough — We love them so much we've been shouting it from the rooftops and already referred them to one of my closest friends who hired them for their wedding in June. Blake Events is truly the best gift you can give yourself if you are planning a wedding. If you are looking for a wedding planner in the PA/MD area, or anywhere, really- DO IT!!!! They are worth their weight in gold.

We would recommend Blake Events over and over again. From the moment we found them we had the utmost faith they would make our wedding day seamless and they did just that! We did the Day of Management package where they came in 3 months out and handled all final logistics and vendor communication in addition to the day of. Logan was our head planner and was phenomenal to work with from the moment we met her. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and provided us with fantastic guidance throughout the last three months leading up. She truly went above and beyond in every way and was invaluable in finalizing all of the details so we could go into the wedding feeling relaxed knowing she had thought of every detail and communicated with every vendor. On the day of, Logan and Katie (day of support) were nothing short of phenomenal! Every time we turned around, one of them was there anticipating our needs and helping to ensure we were able to enjoy our day worry free. Our day would not have been as seamless without them. They were professional, but also a fun addition to our day! Our entire wedding party raved about how much they enjoyed having them along for the day. We cannot thank Taryn, Logan, Katie and the entire Blake Events team enough. Stop your searching and go with Blake Events! You will not regret it.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Samantha at Blake Events! From the very first meeting to the final moments of our wedding day, she was an absolute rockstar. Her attention to detail, calm demeanor, and true passion for what she does made the entire planning process not only stress-free, but genuinely enjoyable.

Samantha went above and beyond in every way — she anticipated needs before we even thought of them, handled logistics seamlessly, and made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes so we could fully enjoy our day. Her communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring, which made us feel so confident and cared for.

Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and we know that’s in large part thanks to Samantha. She’s incredibly organized, professional, and thoughtful — a true gem in the event planning world. If you’re lucky enough to work with her, you’re in amazing hands.

Thank you, Samantha, for making our day absolutely perfect!

Hire this team if you want your wedding day to be the most stress-free, beautiful, joyful day of your life!

When my now-husband and I first got engaged in February 2022, we immediately knew we had to book Blake Events. We saw firsthand how they brilliantly guided our dear friends through the planning process and executed an stress-free, flawless day, and wanted the very same for ourselves. Hands down, hiring Blake Events was the BEST choice we made in the planning process.

Over our 2.5 year engagement, Taryn read dozens of contracts for us, helped us revise our budget to meet our goals, told us the hard truths we needed to hear, and cheered on our every success. We felt heard and supported every step of the way during planning, and like we had a true advocate in our corner!

On our wedding day, I didn’t feel an ounce of anxiety about logistics or how the day would unfold. The expertise and attitude Taryn and her team bring gave us the most priceless gift: being able to enjoy our day and each other, without a single other care in the world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Taryn, Logan, and Katie. You’re forever part of our love story, and we wish we could get married everyday just to spend more time with you!

Taryn's team was amazing! A couple months out Deb began collecting all of my contracts, arranging schedules, and helping me with last minute details. She responded to all My emails and questions right away! On the day of the wedding, Deb set up all the decor and made the reception look beautiful. She created the timeline and made sure we were moving on time throughout the night. I highly recommend this vendor if you want your day to run smoothly!

Daniele at Taryn Blake was an absolute pro — calm under pressure, reassuring, thorough and patient — willing to go with our personal opinions and asks and with changes in plans along the way — and flexible and creative when issues arose in real time. She also had good concrete advice along the way for us. And throughout we felt like she was emotionally invested in our event — and happy to be there the day of. You cannot go wrong working with her !

I knew I wanted a wedding planner as soon as I got engaged. I am French and got married to an American, we live in NC and decided to get married in PA- the only wedding I ever attended was actually my own so needless to say I knew I needed help. I discovered Taryn on Instagram, she was explaining the difference between a venue coordinator and a day-of coordinator/wedding planner. I started following her and loved her honesty and humor about the whole thing. TBE became my non-negotiable there and then.
The whole process was such a breeze thanks to Taryn, and then Daniele our rockstar/wedding counselor/coach and guru. We decided to pick the Partial Planning package because we had a long engagement and knew we needed help in the long run to plan our day. Having access to Daniele unlimited times was also extremely helpful.

Now why should you hire TBE? It's quite simple: They are leaders in their field, for the peace of mind, knowing you have someone in your corner at all times, responsiveness (I'm not sure Daniele ever sleeps haha), professionals who are on top of everything, who know what they're talking about and can recommend amazing vendors in your budget!
Daniele kindly guided us through the wedding maze, helping us to always think one step ahead so we wouldn't have any issue on our wedding day. We literally couldn't have done it without her because of the many vendors we decided to hire and all the coordination that required. Our wedding day was magical, and it is in big part thanks to her and Shannen's work. We loved having their calm, firm and smiling presence throughout the day.
We can't thank them enough.
It's bittersweet to say goodbye now that it's all over, that's how much of an impact TBE and Daniele had on us.
Merci!

Taryn was the wedding planner for a friends wedding, so when it came to be my turn I knew exactly who to go to for a flawless wedding planning experience. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, organized, and dedicated to making our wedding everything we dreamed of.

As a bride who dreaded the planning experience, Taryn was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, often responding within MINUTES. Her dedication, expertise and experience was evident in every detail she helped us with.

On the day of the wedding, Taryn, Emma, and Brandi executed flawlessly. Every aspect of the event was coordinated to perfection, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. From coordinating vendors to managing the timeline, they ensured that everything ran smoothly.

If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only talented and professional but also genuinely cares about making your day special, we highly recommend Taryn Blake Events.

Taryn and her team are the sole reason why I was able to keep my sanity through wedding planning…my only regret is not hiring her earlier! She helped us save money and stick to our budget, recommended vendors that fit our style perfectly, and helped us make decisions confidently. On the day of our wedding, Taryn and Emma made sure everything went off without a hitch. They solved problems before I even knew they existed and allowed us to really enjoy the day and live in the moment. Emma even sewed the straps onto my dress more than once. I can’t recommend TBE enough!
