Tessa Sent on 11/30/2024Working with Tin Sparrow was a positive experience
From our first meeting, GariAnn understood our vision and offered helpful suggestions to make our wedding engaging and playful. Her organizational skills were clear throughout the process, and she recommended several tools and vendors for us.
One thing we appreciated was how GariAnn stayed calm and composed, even when a few unexpected issues came up. This was particularly true in the weeks/days leading up to the wedding. The day itself went smoothly, and the timeline was well-structured. She handled day of logistics, seamlessly transitioning spaces (e.g. repurposing flowers, moving the first book, brining out favors) and gently ushering guests from the ceremony to cocktail to reception spaces.
Our guests were blown away by the event, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for someone who is professional, personable, and passionate about creating the perfect celebration, we recommend Tin Sparrow. -

Our Walla Walla wedding was everything we dreamed of, and it’s all thanks to our amazing wedding planner! Tin Sparrow Events turned our dream wedding into reality and handled every detail with such grace and professionalism. GariAnn transformed the stress of planning a wedding into pure excitement. Her flawless organization and stunning design vision brought our dream wedding to life. She was always available, quick to respond, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail and organizational skills were unmatched. Her design ideas were stunning and brought our vision to life.
There were a few unexpected hurdles with the venue, but the Tin Sparrow team swiftly and calmly resolved them, saving us from countless headaches & allowed us to sleep every night. Her design aesthetic is impeccable, and her organizational skills are top-notch allowing us to know every small detail was going to be taken care of. The wedding day itself was flawless and absolutely incredible. From her personal attention to both myself and the groom throughout the day, or making sure the tables were perfect, the day ran extremely smooth thanks to her expert guidance.
We can’t thank her enough for making our special day truly unforgettable! We wholeheartedly recommend GariAnn at Tin Sparrow Events to any couple planning their wedding or anyone planning a special event and cannot wait to work with her again for another event in the future! -

Gina Sent on 02/29/2024A wonderful partnership and experience!
We're immensely grateful to GariAnn and the Tin Sparrow team for their outstanding work on our wedding day. They were a constant source of support, reassurance and invaluable guidance.
GariAnn’s creative flair and keen attention to detail helped make our vision a reality. We were impressed by the wide selection of decor she contributed, which not only added a special touch to our celebration but also saved us the money and trouble of procuring those items ourselves.
On the big day, GariAnn truly shone as our guiding light. She and her team ensured that everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the joy of the occasion without distraction. GariAnn went above and beyond to anticipate our needs, whether it was assisting with my dress, holding my purse, or simply seeing to it that we stayed hydrated. These seemingly small gestures really add up during such a whirlwind event.
Thank you, GariAnn and Tin Sparrow team, for your support in making our special day truly unforgettable!

Jessica Sent on 08/18/2022Truly incredible wedding planner!!
We cannot say enough amazing things about GariAnn and the Tin Sparrow team!! Using their services will help guarantee that you'll have the best day of your life! GariAnn went above and beyond every step of the way as we planned our wedding through COVID. She helped us navigate a late-stage venue change. She expertly handled venue and vendor curveballs in the month and days leading up to our wedding, along with any and all hiccups we encountered on the day of the event. She met with us regularly to answer any questions we had along the way. We always looked forward to our meetings because they were so fun and informative. Tin Sparrow also helps you with the design elements of your wedding which is a major bonus! They have so many items to rent and to utilize to help create the perfect "look" for your big day. The tablescapes GariAnn designed were beautiful. Weddings can be so stressful and overwhelming, but thanks to GariAnn, we were able to focus on appreciating our day and living in the moment. We had a wedding and a party that exceeded all our hopes and dreams! More than anything, we feel like we made a friend for life. -

Jessica Sent on 09/21/2020Fabulous!!!!’
Tin sparrow is hands down the best that washington state has to offer for wedding planning.
GariAnn is a daughter, wife, mother and a wedding planner and sometimes a counselor.
Her soul captured my heart within seconds of meeting her!!
I came home to my fiancé and said my heart tells me she’s the one. She listened to all my crazy thoughts, and she never judge me.
We went through this big whirlwind that had many ups and downs as the world was hit was Covid-19, but she never left my side. She assured me that no matter what I wanted to do during this time if it meant postponing the wedding or eloping and have a reception later that she was willing to change all things to make it happen. She told me covid can’t stop love,and guess what it didn’t I’m on cloud 9 with my husband.
I spent a whole year and a few months with GariAnn and within that time I have gained a beautiful friendship. Her passion and eye for design is on point, like “kick ass”.
This lady truly made our day magical she turned my color palette and all my ideas into a stunning wedding day!
GariAnn I will miss you so much,
I can’t thank you enough for all your words of wisdom and your countless planning.
Ladies you need to book with Tin Sparrows she and her team will not disappoint you.

Melissa Sent on 08/20/2019Best wedding investment you can make!
If you think you don’t need a wedding planner you should think again. Hands down the best decision we made about our wedding. We had a very specific vision and were very hands on in the designing process with GariAnn assisting when we had questions/issues. But when it came to organizing and implementing we could NOT have pulled this off without Tin Sparrow. Not to mention, her connections with vendors which makes it a very seamless process. GariAnn and her crew came in on the big day and created magic. And I’m not exaggerating. Decisions were made, decor was set up, a stage was transformed, vendors were directed, guests were managed all while we focused on getting ready and pre ceremony photos. I did not have to manage one item on our wedding day. And that also included taking down and organizing at the end of the night. If there’s one thing you do for yourself on your wedding day, hire these people. They can do as little or much as you want!!! I had high expectations and they were blown away. I couldn’t believe what I saw when I walked into our reception! It was everything and more than I had hoped for. Weddings are stressful as it is, but having Tin Sparrow meant I could focus on the important part.... getting married!! I can’t thank GariAnn and her staff enough for making our wedding day a dream come true!! ❤️❤️ -

Flexible, Creative, Funny and Warm
As a professional wedding photographer, I knew from the start that I needed a creative planning team could plan a wedding long distance (we got married in Montana, but live in Chicago), who would also run our wedding weekend with a firm hand. From the beginning, I told GariAnn that I wanted to "just be a bride" day of, and that I didn't want to have to spend any time on my wedding day thinking about the timeline or communicating with vendors or clocking in as a wedding vendor myself. GariAnn went above and beyond on our wedding weekend to manage our vendor team, to run the day like the absolute pro she is, and to problem solve (everything from minor annoyances to florists who wouldn't deliver personals early to normal wedding day things like catering and rogue family members), all with a smile. Her team was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day, and her personality is perfect for things like rehearsing our wedding ceremony and making sure everyone is where they need to be.
GariAnn has a creative eye and a knack for design. She is extremely expressive, very funny, extremely communicative, and eager to make your wedding dreams come true. We really felt that handle anything that went wrong that weekend for us, so we really trusted her and are so grateful we did.
In the nearly 2 years of wedding planning, GariAnn road the rollercoaster that is planning a long distance wedding by our side. From picking venues (in states neither of us lived in), to vetting vendors, to researching marijuana laws, to helping us customize our wedding day (and work with our budget), GariAnn wore many hats. While there was a bit of turnover in her office during our time, which can be typical in the wedding industry, we never lost touch with GariAnn or felt that our wedding was anything less than her top priorty. She was also willing to adjust her team's communciation style when my type A personality required slightly different habits and reassurances.
I know it's not always easy to collaborate with three creative stoners at the table, especially when one of them is also a professional wedding vendor, but GariAnn handled us with grace, patience, endless positivity, and a great sense of humor. We loved her and miss her already and are so grateful she helped us execute our perfect wedding day. We wouldn't change a thing! -

2024 wedding
GariAnn is a godsend. I am a super shy and anxious person and she made me feel at ease with the whole wedding process. I could have not done it without her and her team. Her personality is so easy going, she just wants to make everything easier for the bride. She dealt with what was probably the worst venue ever, (srry GariAnn!) and made our wedding day absolutely beautiful. I kid you not she had to deal with a crazy events manager and made it all happen. We also had to change our entire wedding plan to indoors, 24 hours before due to wind, and I trusted her to handle it all and she crushed it, while I partied with friends the day before. I just showed up to the wedding and said “GariAnn tell me what do” and she guided me through. Just trust this lady bc she’s gonna get it done. -

Absolutely amazing!
Tin Sparrow Events was hands down the best money we ever spent. Gariann from day 1 made this experience about Chris & I and always focused on what truly mattered...our love. Despite all the twists and turns 2020 threw our way, she stood by our side and guided us through a messy unexpected situation (covid) with grace and compassion. We will always be so thankful for her. She never gave up on us even though we were quite literally on the biggest rollercoaster. I’m at a loss for words when trying to describe just how much she means to us and how amazing she is. She will always make you feel valid in your decisions and guide you through all your wedding planning with ease. She slays at her job and has an eye for design that cannot he matched. Our wedding was out of our wildest dreams and we owe it all to Gariann. Do yourself a favor and hire her! You will not regret it! -
