Tessa Lyn Events

Where do I even start! Having Kathryn as my wedding planner was the BEST decision I made during the wedding planning process. From the moment I started working with her, I could tell how detailed and organized she was—all of my “type-A anxiety” instantly faded away. She was always on top of everything and had answers/solutions to all my questions. Her positivity, work ethic and willingness to help was so amazing. She always had my back, was available for calls, and responded quickly. My favorite part of working with her was her connection/relationship with vendors— she was able to get us deals and recommended some of the best people in the business and for that I am forever grateful. Her guidance made our wedding absolutely perfect and there isn’t one thing I would’ve changed— she turned my vision into a reality! Thank you Kathryn and the TLE team for helping me execute the wedding of my dreams!

Simply put, I cannot recommend Tessa more highly. She is the creme de la creme of wedding planners all wrapped up in a wonderfully likeable and down to earth package. I interviewed several wedding planners and knew immediately that she was “the one.” If you look at photos of her work, you will clearly see that she puts together truly beautiful and downright spectacular weddings. That in and of itself is of course a huge selling point, but I must say that it was her meticulous attention to detail and her wonderfully helpful and thoughtful approach that made the entire wedding planning process a true pleasure for me.

I had a somewhat short timeline for planning (about 4 months) and was a bit nervous about pulling it off. Tessa immediately launched into action with a clear and doable plan, quickly putting my mind at ease. I think she would be a great match for a range of brides, from one who has a very specific vision of how she would like her wedding to be, to someone who is very open to different possibilities. I was somewhere in between...there were certain things that were important to me and others that I hadn’t put an ounce of thought into. For the things that I hadn’t thought about, she was able to quickly orient me and narrow down the potentially dizzying range of choices. She is truly full service and you can be as hands off or hands on as you like in working with her and be assured of a beautifully memorable experience.

People often say that their wedding was a “blur.” Probably the most telling aspect with regard to working with Tessa is that my wedding was not a blur. I truly savored every moment. All I really had to do that day was “show up” and deeply enjoy the experience because every detail was taken care of and the flow of the event was perfect.

Thank you, Tessa! I am so filled with gratitude for what you did for us.

I hired Tessa over 3 years ago, early fall 2018. She stuck by me through 2 cancelled weddings, replanning every single time no questions asked. We were finally able to have our wedding on the third try this past October. My wedding was originally scheduled for early April 2020. Needless to say I was devastated when we had to cancel, due to covid, less than 3 weeks out. Tessa sprang into action, securing new dates, working with every vendor all while dealing with her own uncertainties of how the pandemic would effect her business and livelihood. Tessa is more than just a wedding planner. She doesn't just take you on as a client. She completely, emotionally and wholeheartedly invests herself. You become her entire world. Tessa didn't have to go above and beyond as a planner for me. It was not technically her job to plan my wedding 3 times over, she was hired to plan 1 wedding. It was not her job to sit on the phone with me while I cried and contemplated what to do in the early days of March 2020. She didn't have to answer my emails within minutes of my sending.. I'm not kidding, she never went more than a couple hours without answering me, it still blows my mind. But she goes above and beyond because she cares and loves what she does. She is truly one of a kind and I will never allow any one of my friends or family look to anyone but Tessa for their wedding or any other major party or event. I loved all of my vendors, Tessa helped me make all of those decisions. But Tessa and the entire TLE team is the best decision I ever made planning my wedding.
