Tin Sparrow Events - Richland, Washington

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 dream 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!

Tin Sparrow utterly blew me away with their professionalism, their timleyness and their ability to anticipate when my husband and I needed another cocktail during our sendoff party. 😜

Gariann and the whole Tin Sparrow team planned a send off party prior to our destination wedding in Italy; Which they also helped plan and communicated with our counterparts there!

Gariann is the master of all things events, design, and hospitality. She helped our vision turn into a masterpiece. From planning meetings to set up and breakdown, she was there for it all and NEVER missed a detail. Tin Sparrow is worth their weight in gold for the amount of stress and work they took off of our plates. We are forever grateful to them and recommend them highly!

GariAnn and the Tin Sparrow Events crew are nothing short of extraordinary! They made our wedding day so easy, stress-free and incredibly enjoyable. During the planning process, GariAnn was not only organized and detail oriented, but she was the best therapist and hype woman as well!

GariAnn and her team handle every challenge with grace and a smile, even if you last minute want to extend your wedding shuttle by 2 hours during last call. She is just that wonderful! We love her dearly and we’re so honored she was there with us every step of the way. Hire her for your wedding, you will not regret it!!

Working 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.

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.

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!
