Chue X. 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!!!!

Part of a Vendor Team
Jennifer Tan and her team create the most memorable events. Jennifer is a true Renaissance woman with her many skills ranging from officiating to design, event planning and implementation. She is a delight to work with and a true professional. I have joined her on several occasions and she still amazes me with her attention to deal and with the joy she shows at each and every one of her weddings. -

The Perfect Elopement
So like everyone else our July 2020 Wedding wasn't what we originally planned. Instead of Chicago we planned an intimate elopement style wedding at Chateau St. Jean in Sonoma. Enter Jennifer and Rick Tan to handle everything and when I say everything I really mean everything. The decision to stick with our original date was somewhat last minute and Jennifer and Rick were fantastic. Can't recommend them enough. They handled everything from Hair & Makeup, cake, photography and even ceremony music. Once they got involved it just became a very seamless stress free process. It was a beautiful day and a lot of that was thanks to Tan Weddings & Events! -

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! -

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.

Magical Forest Elopement
Jennifer and Rick helped my husband and I have a magical elopement in the Redwoods! I couldn't have asked for more. Rick was our officiant and Jennifer helped me with my dress and bouquet throughout our ceremony. They were kind, professional, had great communication, and worked their magic! They have the experience and skills any couple would want to bring their vision to life. I had very few requests that were all fulfilled thanks to their resourcefulness. I highly recommend their team to help your day be amazing. -

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! -

Articulate & Charismatic
Rick Tan did a fabulous job! Our Carmel Elopement Ceremony was a jewel. From the beginning to the "I'd like to introduce to you" he was on. He kept in contact, asked questions and was very organized. As an Officiant myself, I was impressed. Marquis -

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! -

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! -

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 K. 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.
