Blake Events -

From the moment I met Taryn, I knew I was in good hands. She immediately made me feel reassured that everything on our wedding day would fall into place exactly how we wanted it to-- and she was right!

She is highly professional, organized, and dedicated. Beyond that, she remains calm and collected under pressure and handles challenges extremely well.

We had a very specific vision for our wedding and Taryn and her team pulled it off flawlessly. It's hard to imagine one specific day coming together based on details you decide months before--you don't know until the day arrives--but I never felt worried. During the whole planning process, I never felt stressed, unheard, or out of the loop. They were constantly checking in with updates, vendor options, design options, etc. Additionally, Taryn's connections and the rapport she has built with other vendors are palpable; she is (deservingly) well-respected and loved throughout the community. People genuinely enjoy working with and collaborating with her, her clients included!

There are so many good things I can say about Taryn and her team that have probably been said a thousand times, but I want to emphasize that our wedding day would have been drastically different if Taryn hadn't been involved. I can't imagine having anyone else handle and juggle all the things she had to do; we are truly grateful for her and her team!

We were so fortunate to have Emma from Blake Events as our wedding planner, thanks to our venue Hazelwood. From the very beginning, Emma was thorough, patient, and incredibly supportive. As someone planning my first wedding—my own—I had a lot of questions, and she never made me feel silly for not knowing something. Emma was detail-oriented, kind, and had an amazing eye for what would look best in every part of our day.
Toward the end of the planning process, Emma and her coworker Sam stepped in and created the perfect timeline, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. They were both so amazing to work with, and their dedication showed in every detail. Emma had some great ideas along the way, and seeing her and Sam bring everything together on my wedding day was nothing short of magical. They made my vision come true, and everything looked absolutely perfect—I truly couldn’t have done it without them. If you’re looking for wedding planning help, I highly recommend Blake Events and the dynamic duo of Emma and Sam! Thank you both for being such a big part of my big day. You are the best!! ?

Hire this team if you want your wedding day to be the most stress-free, beautiful, joyful day of your life!

When my now-husband and I first got engaged in February 2022, we immediately knew we had to book Blake Events. We saw firsthand how they brilliantly guided our dear friends through the planning process and executed an stress-free, flawless day, and wanted the very same for ourselves. Hands down, hiring Blake Events was the BEST choice we made in the planning process.

Over our 2.5 year engagement, Taryn read dozens of contracts for us, helped us revise our budget to meet our goals, told us the hard truths we needed to hear, and cheered on our every success. We felt heard and supported every step of the way during planning, and like we had a true advocate in our corner!

On our wedding day, I didn’t feel an ounce of anxiety about logistics or how the day would unfold. The expertise and attitude Taryn and her team bring gave us the most priceless gift: being able to enjoy our day and each other, without a single other care in the world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Taryn, Logan, and Katie. You’re forever part of our love story, and we wish we could get married everyday just to spend more time with you!

I knew I wanted a wedding planner as soon as I got engaged. I am French and got married to an American, we live in NC and decided to get married in PA- the only wedding I ever attended was actually my own so needless to say I knew I needed help. I discovered Taryn on Instagram, she was explaining the difference between a venue coordinator and a day-of coordinator/wedding planner. I started following her and loved her honesty and humor about the whole thing. TBE became my non-negotiable there and then.
The whole process was such a breeze thanks to Taryn, and then Daniele our rockstar/wedding counselor/coach and guru. We decided to pick the Partial Planning package because we had a long engagement and knew we needed help in the long run to plan our day. Having access to Daniele unlimited times was also extremely helpful.

Now why should you hire TBE? It's quite simple: They are leaders in their field, for the peace of mind, knowing you have someone in your corner at all times, responsiveness (I'm not sure Daniele ever sleeps haha), professionals who are on top of everything, who know what they're talking about and can recommend amazing vendors in your budget!
Daniele kindly guided us through the wedding maze, helping us to always think one step ahead so we wouldn't have any issue on our wedding day. We literally couldn't have done it without her because of the many vendors we decided to hire and all the coordination that required. Our wedding day was magical, and it is in big part thanks to her and Shannen's work. We loved having their calm, firm and smiling presence throughout the day.
We can't thank them enough.
It's bittersweet to say goodbye now that it's all over, that's how much of an impact TBE and Daniele had on us.
Merci pour tout!

10 out of 10 experience!!! I worked with Taryn with a partial planning package and it was worth every penny. She was always shockingly quick to respond to my emails. We did many calls and video meetings over the 14 or so months and each one felt very productive. Her designer made a gorgeous inspiration design deck. I had more than one florist I sent it to say it was the most detailed, gorgeous design deck they had ever received. All of her recommendations for vendors were great. We only had one bad vendor, and that was someone Taryn hadn't worked with before. Even though that vendor was extremely unprofessional the day of the wedding, Taryn handled it like a champ and saved the day! And the best part - I had NO idea until after the wedding! I was blissfully unaware, getting my hair and makeup done. I also have some tough family dynamics and Taryn was extremely understanding and kind. Taryn's day of assistant, Sarah, was also wonderful! She came to my getting ready airbnb the day of and did a great job of helping out but also stayed back so we could be just us. Her company is on the preferred list for our venue, Union Mills, so if you are getting married there, there is no question, pick them!

We can't imagine our wedding day without Daniele! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. We planned a big, gay Jewish wedding with 300 guests, and Daniele made everything run seamlessly. The timeline was impeccable, and every detail was handled with care and precision. She was also an absolute joy to work with. Communication was top-notch, and she made sure to understand our vision, bringing it to life perfectly. We couldn't have asked for more.

I cannot say enough great things about Blake Events and especially Deb. Any question o had or any decision I had to make during planning, Deb was right there supporting me. She also gave me advice that 100% saved us a bunch of money! Our wedding day was an absolute dream and stress-free. Not a single question was asked of me on my wedding day and that’s exactly how I wanted it! If you want someone who is honest, supportive, and feels like family, look no further than Deb and Blake Events.

You know your wedding planner is the best of the best when your dad includes a thank you to her in his father of the bride toast - yes, I'm serious! Our wedding on 9/4/22 was the most perfect day of my whole life. I hired Taryn back in 2021 after postponing our wedding an entire year and feeling completely burnt out from the wedding planning process, and my only regret is that I didn't hire her from the start. From our first call, she GOT me and my husband, and our vision for the day, and designed a beautiful wedding that perfectly matched our vibe and what we wanted the experience to feel like. Throughout the process, she was communicative, proactive, and wrangled all of our vendors like the pro she is, with grace, organization and positivity. I remember saying to her the month before the wedding that I felt weirdly calm - and I honestly attribute that feeling to her and her team.

On our wedding day itself, I kicked my feet up, relaxed, and enjoyed myself, having full confidence in Taryn and her team. I was able to take in the moment, and be present with my husband, friends, and family. Taryn was my first line of defense, our scheduler, and the master of the behind the scenes ceremonies. I have been singing her praises to anyone who will listen, and I'm proud to be able to post about my experience with her and her team here. I am on cloud 9 even a month later thinking back on that day, and am so grateful to her team for executing everything and being so on top of things, all with a smile and a schedule in hand 🙂

Wedding planners are not a "nice-to-have" on your wedding day - they are an absolute necessity. Hire Taryn. You won't regret it.
