Jessica Sent on 01/11/2025Absolutely 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!

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! -

Kathryn Sent on 10/08/2024So 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. -

Chue Sent on 09/02/2023Gave 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!!!!

Rachel Sent on 02/17/2022The most amazing and beautiful wedding experience!!!
Husband and wife team Rick and Jennifer Tan bring an element of love and genuine caring into their wedding planning. I can not imagine how I could have ever pulled off all of the beauty and perfection that they brought to our life on that day without them. As we move forward to expand our family, I think back and remember Rick and Jennifer and that perfect day, and I want to let others know as well, so that they can have this same joy!! Although our life is not perfect, somehow on that day, it really was perfect. I had always dreamed of a certain kind of day for my wedding and when I found that my family was not on the same page as me for that vision, I was so happy, relieved and grateful that Tan Weddings and Events did see my vision, and created it for us!!! Although it’s often a family affair to have a wedding, the elopement that Tan Weddings made for us was made us so happy, and it was for sure the right decision for us. We’re forever grateful to them and to the vendors they gather together to work with! Thanks to Jennifer and Rick, we had everything we’d ever dreamed of, from the best photos of a lifetime, to the most delicious cake made by a world famous pastry chef and a Michelin star chef made dinner for 2, to flowers so gorgeous that I’ve never even seen better in the wedding magazines. They also made us custom watercolor invitations and Save the Dates, and Jennifer hand-dyed silk of my color choice to wrap the flower bouquet and for part of our ring ceremony. Rick played us custom music of our choosing on a full-sized harp as I walked down the aisle (let me tell you, Bryan Adams’ Everything I do on the harp is something to hear). It was truly a dream come true, and so far, it was the very best day of both mine and my husband’s life. Rick and Jennifer Tan at Tan Weddings and Events gave us a wedding elopement that will forever bring a smile to our faces and tears of joy to our eyes. We feel that even when life is hard, at least we will always have that day, and that joy is worth more than anything. We have Tan Weddings and Events to thank for that, and we couldn’t be more grateful to them for their effort, support, artistry and love that they put into their weddings. They are truly amazing and talented and we couldn’t have been happier for our very important day!!! -

Kai Sent on 11/15/2021Friendly, professional, and super helpful!
Both my now-husband and I don't have too much experience with weddings (mine was my first one!), so we trusted the Tans to help guide along the way and they really pulled through for us. We had a great vendor team that they helped us find, and were enthusiastic about working with our starry/moon/night sky theme. The wedding turned out to be a lot of fun and I had so many compliments about how great everything looked. The atmosphere was just what we wanted: with an elegant look to everything but casual enough that our diverse family and friends all fit in and had fun! Both Jennifer and Rick were really responsive and answered all our questions, helping quell my anxieties throughout the process. Thank you both! -

Emily Sent on 01/17/2021Perfect officiant!
We had Rev. Rick Tan officiate our wedding. He was very timely, sweet, and a great communicator. He wrote lovely vows for our wedding. We had to change venues a month before our ceremony and he was happy to go with the flow. Very pleased with his service! -

Allison Sent on 07/18/2020Absolutely stellar!
Where do I even begin? Let me start by saying I would give the TWE team 10/5 stars if that was a thing. Actually, we will just make it a thing for them! And… BOOK THE TANS! Honestly, it was the best choice we could have made and they are worth every penny. Do not hesitate..trust me, you won’t regret it!
Our entire experience with TWE from start to finish was seamless. Absolutely stellar communication, organization, planning, and expertise. We booked TWE a year and a half before our summer 2020 wedding date. In the spring of 2020, the COVID 19 pandemic hit and the wedding industry and couples were in crisis mode. We struggled with what to do for our wedding, but Jennifer and her team were there every step of the way. Jennifer Tan is THE person you want by your side when planning a wedding in a pandemic. We ended up having an intimate micro wedding on our original date, and could not be happier with how it turned out. No matter how you decide to navigate your event during the pandemic, TWE will make it work and it will be incredible.
In the midst of this, we changed locations 2 weeks before the wedding and had some vendor changes. The Tans took this on full speed ahead, and everything went off without a hitch. In this extremely stressful time, we never lost confidence that the TWE team could make it happen.
As the bride, I handled much of the planning and communication with Jennifer. Jennifer Tan is a bride’s best friend through this whole process and on your big day! The entire time I felt like I was her only bride she was working with (which I’m sure she had many). That is just how attentive and caring she was. I appreciated her calm energy & can-do attitude through it all. We needed that!
Jennifer and Rick are not only talented and extremely professional, but also just kind, incredible people. These are the people you want by your side planning your special event. We cannot recommend Jennifer, Rick, and their team enough! I can’t imagine planning an event without them.

Mel Sent on 06/20/2020I had complete trust in TWE and it was an amazing experience!
We were planning a wedding from the other side of the country and definitely needed a planner to help with most aspects, from vendor suggestions, design, and planning. The Tans were recommended to us by a venue we toured and are so glad we choose them. Their pricing was very reasonable and we were returned an incredible value for what we paid. Amy guided us through the design process and Rick and Jennifer worked on the overall coordination and day of plan. They suggested vendors who matched our vision and budget and we were very happy with each one we decided on. The entire process up to the day of was perfect and absolutely worth the price. What happened the day of, far exceeded that! We were married in the middle of the fires and extreme winds. While our area was not affected by the fires or smoke, the winds did cause the power to be out, which meant no electricity or well water. The Tans and our other vendors took care of everything (moving the reception tables inside, finding generators, sourcing a lot of bottled water and finding luxury lavatories, etc.) and we had complete trust in them to take care of our day. Many of our guests did not know the power was out until the night was setting in. It was almost as if we planned a romantic candlelit reception! Not only are they well-connected and talented, the entire team is warm, friendly, and love what they do. If I am ever planning another event in the area, I will absolutely contact Tan Wedding Events and you should too! -

Jules Sent on 05/04/2020The best!
You NEED Tan Weddings and Events on your wedding team. Do not get married without them.. They are AMAZING!!! We are a couple based in Asia who recently got married in Sonoma. Planning a wedding is tough enough but to do it from miles away, during the COVID19 pandemic, posed all-new challenges. We feel blessed to have had TWE for planning, coordination, design and officiating. Rick and Jen helped bridge that distance and cultural gap for us and made everything seamless. They are a powerhouse couple. Their passion for events is undeniable. They also have such a great network. I met my videographer, DJ, florist, transportation and rentals through them. All top-quality vendors. Their designer, Amy is also wonderful to work with. I never got a chance to meet her but my few conversations with her made me feel assured, understood and happy.
Jen is just a wealth of information and I appreciated her insight and suggestions, even if they sometimes differed from my views. I leaned on her A LOT and each time she was so gracious and helpful. I would message at odd hours due to the time difference and she’s so swift with replies..sometimes I wondered if she ever slept. Haha. She made sure to keep us on track with gentle encouragement which we needed to make sure we didn’t slack off and forget anything.
Rick’s was our officiant but he was also involved in the planning aspect. He is skilled at putting things into perspective and helped us sift through different options and scenarios. He did the seating chart and signs for our wedding. All came out beautiful. He was also my officiant and took the time to personalize the service by using quotes from my favorite author. Rick is a gifted and charismatic orator, even my guests said so! His calming presence helped me through the ceremony cuz I was so nervous and emotional.
On the days leading up to the wedding day, COVID19 was starting to close down on events and cities. I was grateful that TWE handled all of the issues for me – they checked in with our vendors to make sure that all would take precautions. Our guestlist was dwindling and TWE also worked with our vendors to make last-minute adjustments.
All in all.. our wedding went off without a hitch and we could not have done it without them. We cannot thank you enough Rick, Jen and Amy. Wishing you guys all the best. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! -

Raquel Sent on 11/24/2019We’re So Happy We Chose Tan Weddings!
Any Habicht was our officiant and we couldn’t more happy with her. I was mainly drawn to her because she spiritual and I am super spiritual as well. On our wedding day Amy was so amazing! After meeting my now husband at the altar and realizing all eyes are on us I was extremely nervous but she helped calm my nerves. During our ceremony she did the blessing of hands and I thought it was so beautiful and it almost made my husband cry.
Any was so sweet and great to work with on our special day. We highly recommend Amy for anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding day!

Amanda Sent on 09/07/2019Made Our Wedding Day Relaxing and Carefree
We hired the TWE team for day of coordination and officiating services. From the moment we contacted them, they were professional, informational, and responsive. I cannot day enough kind things about Jennifer and her team.
First, Jennifer would always respond to any questions I had in a reasonable amount of time. She cares about her work and truly cares about her couples and wants to make sure they have an amazing day. The months, weeks, and days leading up to our wedding we had a lot of communication. One thing I really enjoyed was the phone details conversation we had. We talked about details but Jennifer also gave us some sound advice about relaxation and taking time for ourselves. It was so kind and personal and something I’ll always remember.
Second, their team is diligent and helpful. On the day of, Amy, was with me and helped to guide through the timeline of getting to the ceremony. She was kind, made sure I had everything I needed, and also did some guest wrangling when we needed them out of the bungalow we were getting ready in. She snapped some candids and were a great way for us to remember the day until we got our professional pictures back.
Finally, they made the day of so painless and we didn’t worry about a thing. Have DIY decor? They set it up. Cards and gifts? They load it in to the person of your choice vehicle for safe keeping and transport. Don’t want to worry about cleaning up at the end of the night? They take care of packing everything up and sending you home with any of your left over food/dessert.
Because of the TWE team, our wedding was relaxing and enjoyable. We didn’t worry about a thing and were allowed to be caught up in the moment and enjoy our love and celebration with friends and family. -

I can't even begin to say enough words to describe my experience working with Jennifer and her team. Every girl has their pinterest board of ideas but where do you really start? From my first call with Jennifer I felt at ease and comfortable that I knew that she was there for me and also knowing what to expect. She was good at checking in to ensure everything was on track and that I didn't need any help. But back to my pinterest board that I spoke about above... Not only did they execute every last detail but they perfected it with their professional finishing touches!
Lastly I know I already mentioned that our wedding was absolutely perfect but I left something out.. She ALSO did our Flowers, and I mean all of them to every last piece of greenery! I literally have tears in my eyes look back at every last detail of my vision and dream and to know that her team made it also their vision. Hands down the BEST WEDDING COORDINATOR. No need to keep looking as I assure you the search ends here! -

Alisha Sent on 12/03/2018Choose Jose Flores!
Jose Flores was more than we could have asked to preside over our wedding. Right from the start, we knew we were in great hands upon our first meeting. Leading up to the wedding, he made the extra effort to come to our home to really get to know us better. He was always available to reach out to with any question we had.
On the day of our wedding, Jose was awesome! He did an amazing job helping to calm our nerves and assured us that everything was going to go perfectly and we had nothing to worry about.
Our ceremony was fantastic! Jose breezed through everything like a true professional. He even stopped to laugh with both us and our guests, as we struggled with our nerves in trying to tie our Fisherman's Knot! He didn't miss a beat, and sent us off a very happy newlywed couple!
We loved Jose and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant for their upcoming wedding!

Faith Sent on 12/29/2015Me and my husband had a Mission Impossible when we decided on our wedding date with only less than 3 months to plan for our wedding, and both of us are working in another country. The day I found Reverend Jennifer Tan is the day I finally felt relieved. She has been the most amazing help I got, and I'm pretty sure she is a God-send. When Reverend Tan realized that we are not even in the country to do any planning in person, she offered to help us get everything ready. Since then, she took care of the caterer, flowers, decor, music, and even hair and make up for us. She even got a photographer booked in time, sorted out our menus with the caterer, shortlisted the flowers that we wanted, linked us up with the relevant people to take my headache away. She was trustworthy, professional, dedicated, and understanding. Even when I was too busy to respond to her immediately, she was still working relentlessly on our wedding plans, sending us videos of different flower decor and pictures of cakes, while she patiently waited for me to make up my mind. The final touch that took my heart away was how she is sensitive to my Chinese roots, and included a tea ceremony for us to pay our respects to our parents and in-laws and officiated the tea ceremony for us as well. That really meant a lot for me and my husband to be able to express our gratitude for our parents and to be welcomed to the new family through the formal and traditional way. Even during the ceremony, she is wonderfully patient and encouraging. As our wedding coordinator, she made sure everything followed a flexible but orderly schedule, and constantly offered her professional advice in a soothing and assuring manner. Without Reverend Tan, this wedding wouldn't have happened at all. Thank you so much for being you, Reverend Tan. -

Christina Sent on 11/18/2014Reverend Tan was able to put my mind at ease at my rehearsal. After it was over I knew that I was in good hands. I was so relaxed for my wedding day because I knew that she was going to make sure everyone knew exactly what to do. It was totally worth the little bit of money that we spent to have her come to our rehearsal. She did a great job officiating our wedding and I'm so glad that we chose her. -
![Eileen]()
Eileen Sent on 10/21/2013We were pleased to have Rev. Rick Tan marry us on Sept 28, 2013! Both my husband's parents, as well as mine, are very old fashioned, Filipino parents, and were both not really happy with the both of us having a Garden wedding and not a church wedding. Negotiating with them took time, until they both agreed that it was necessary to keep the Filipino wedding tradition by incorporating the Coin, Cord & Veil ceremony. We were so happy to have found Rev. Rick Tan, who is familiar with the tradition, long story short, basically he saved our day! He was very quick to respond, answered all our questions and concerns, he was very helpful and the best part was that we were able to customize our ceremony the way we wanted it, plus keeping the filipino tradition just made everything perfect! What I appreciated the most, was little short emails from Rev. Tan just asking us how we were doing during the whole wedding planning! Rev. Tan was very helpful from the very first email I sent for information up until the big day! We are so happy to have worked with Rev. Tan! And very grateful that he was the one who married us! Thank you so much! -

Trisha Sent on 05/29/2013Dr. Rev. Tan kept open communication from the beginning and helped us personalized our ceremony. His responses were very quick and always followed up.

They both were wonderful and professional, we just felt like Jennifer might be a slightly better match. She was super responsive to emails and really helpful while I was working on our ceremony script. She was easy to reach by phone when needed and did a great job with our ceremony. Overall, I really recommend Rev. Jennifer Tan! -
