Meet the Dynamic Trio your wedding day dream team in action figure form. They may not come with capes, but trust us these three are full-blown wedding superheroes… boxed, ready, and built to bring calm to chaos (with a whole lot of style).

GariAnn | Lead Wedding Planner & Designer: The mastermind behind the magic. Armed with a coffee in one hand and a master plan in the other, she’s the queen of logistics, timelines, and “let’s pivot gracefully” moments. Logistics-loving, timeline-taming, design-dreaming queen bee known for her sharp eye, unmatched design chops, and uncanny ability to keep things calm in chaos. The ultimate Creative Director you want in your corner known to jump on grenades before anyone even sees the smoke.

Mylee | Vendor & Venue Liaison: She’s the behind-the-scenes magic maker keeping the vendor team moving like a well-oiled machine. You’ll find her clipboard ready, hair still perfect, smiling as she gracefully wrangles vendors, iced tea in hand. She is the go-to for navigating vendor dynamics, double-checking setups, and making everyone feel like they’ve known her forever. Smooth communicator, vibe checker, professional wrangler of “I forgot to tell you…” Think fairy godmother energy, but with a hurricane-level ability to handle last-minute pivots.

Kaila | Client Experience Concierge: The calm in the wedding storm. By day, she’s the friendly face keeping our clients prepped, calm, and totally cared for. By night? She swaps her clipboard for a camera capturing life’s moments behind the lens as a pro photographer. Kaila has the ability to remember every detail you didn’t even say out loud. Whether she’s double confirming your checklist or getting your mom a tissue she’s the heartbeat of the experience. On her day off? You’ll find her paddleboarding through peaceful waters, plotting your next playlist-worthy or timeline dialed in moment.

Together? They’re the power trio behind Tin Sparrow Events bringing clarity, calm, creativity + charisma to every wedding they touch and somehow still makes it all look easy.

Consider this your official collector’s set. Swipe to meet the team and tell us: What would your action figure come with?

It’s the very first chapter of your celebration. ✨ That one perfect moment guests get a glimpse of what’s to come. The mood, the magic, and all the intentional beauty ahead. A great invitation does more than give the when and where. It captures the feeling. ⚡️

For AJ & Zach, that meant custom artwork by that brought their joyful, bold, artful love to life starting with that punchy pastel invitation and ending with some seriously standout reception details.

From acrylic cloud name cards to signage that played off their dreamy bright popping theme, every element felt fun, thoughtful, and entirely them. And don’t even get us started on the time capsules. A pop-of-color menu stack (Frankadelphia’s favorite touch!) included prompts for guests to write notes the couple will open on anniversaries in the years to come.

A forever kind of keepsake.

“What do you get when a photographer and a painter get married and work with me?” shared. “A color match made in heaven.”

We couldn’t agree more.

It is basically what happens when creativity X3 meets intentionality and the results are pure magic.

Living for Slow Sunday mornings ✨ The soft light, shared coffee, and dreaming out loud with your person type of slow moment. 🤍

Maybe it starts as a whisper… what if we just ran away together?

Maybe it’s the two of you wrapped up in blankets, scrolling through photos of cliffside vows in Italy, quiet beaches in Portugal, or mountain sunrises in New Zealand. Delicious windswept cliffs of Scotland’s Isle of Skye, a starlit rooftop in Marrakech, or somewhere quiet and wild like Glacier National Park.

No spreadsheets. No guest lists. Just the idea of making forever official somewhere that feels like you.

Wherever your Sunday dreaming takes you, we hope it’s somewhere magical, meaningful, and full of possibility. Because some of the most meaningful moments begin on slow mornings just like this one.

Tag your Sunday kind of love below, and tell us where you’d jet off to if you could say “I do” anywhere in the world.

Let’s talk pricing 💵 because it is one of the first questions couples ask. And honestly? It’s one of our favorite topics to chat about.

Because for us, pricing isn’t just a number, it’s a reflection of our experience, expertise and the tailored support we provide every single client.

In truth literally nothing we offer is cookie-cutter. Every quote is customized, every service tailored to your wedding goals. We do have starting rates for each of our four service tiers, and no, we don’t offer discounts (unless you’re military or a veteran—then we absolutely do).

But here’s what else you should know:
✨ Our pricing reflects more than just timelines and design boards—it reflects 15+ years of industry knowledge, trusted vendor relationships, and calm-in-the-chaos coordination.
✨ Transparency is our promise. What you see on your quote is exactly what you’ll pay. We also don’t double dip your wedding like the rest and that’s a promise.
✨ “Affordable” is relative. If you’re looking for the cheapest option, we’re probably not your people—and that’s okay.
✨ Cheaper planning often leads to expensive problems. Underprepared teams miss the mark. We don’t.

Bottom line: We’re here to make your wedding feel personal, calm, and creatively unforgettable without surprise costs, hidden commissions or cut corners.

💌 Curious what weddings actually cost? Drop your email in our DMs and we’ll send you our March Freebie: The Real Honest Cost of Weddings before it’s gone; we still have 7 free copies available for download!!

Every flawless wedding day begins with strong communication, seamless collaboration and that’s exactly where Mylee shines.

As our Vendor & Venue Liaison, Mylee works closely with each couple’s curated team of professionals to bring even the most intricate wedding details to life. She’s passionate about planning, organizing, and leading with positivity ensuring your day flows beautifully behind the scenes while you focus on the moments that matter most.

With her friendly, detail-oriented approach and a natural gift for multitasking, Mylee is always striving to learn, grow, and go above and beyond for our clients. And when she’s not coordinating timelines or communicating with top-tier vendors you’ll find her building intricate Lego creations or getting lost in an audiobook. Need a good read rec? She’s your girl!

We’re so lucky to have her on the team and our couples are even luckier to have her.

Join us in welcoming Mylee with a little dbl tap love, and leave her a warm note of welcome in the comments below.

We don’t just plan weddings! We actually guide you through a process that turns your ideas into something unforgettable.

Because beautiful weddings don’t just happen. They’re built through trust, collaboration, creativity, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes magic.

Here’s how we make it all happen:

1. The Planning Phase
We kick things off with actual connection. Think meet, greet, and dive deep into your vision. We want to know your style, your story, your priorities, and the vibe you want guests to feel from the very first moment. We’ll ask the right questions, fine-tune your priorities, and start mapping the path forward.

2. The Design Phase
Now it’s time to bring the vision to life. We take your ideas and transform them into a custom design proposal that tells your story through color, texture, lighting, florals, paper goods, and intentional details that feel elevated, personal, and cohesive from start to finish.

3. The Action Phase
This is the part where you exhale, and we execute. While you’re sipping champagne and soaking in every second, our team is behind the scenes aka managing timelines, checking off lists, troubleshooting hiccups, and making sure everything unfolds seamlessly.

From red wine stains to sick officiants, we’ve seen it all. And we handle it all gracefully, quietly, and without missing a beat so you and your people can stay present in the moment.

Your wedding isn’t just a checklist to us! It’s a journey we take with you and we’re all in.

⸻

Planning your wedding? Start your journey with us, where experience meets intention, and the only thing you need to worry about is saying “I do.”

Whew, wedding weekends move fast especially when they’re as beautiful and joy-filled as Marilee & Andrew’s vineyard celebration! From welcome parties to rehearsal dinners, wedding mornings to late-night dance parties, the weekend can fly by in a blink.

And when you don’t have a planner on your team (which—let’s be honest—we highly recommend), it’s easy for stress to sneak in and show up right on your face… forever captured in photos. So today’s Wedding Tip Wednesday is all about prepping for calm before the celebration:

1. Appoint Your Personal Dream Team
If you’re not working with a planner (yet), delegate wisely. You’ll need your own squad of “People In Charge” to run interference. We’re talking rental setup supervisors, vendor wranglers, family question answerers, and calm-in-the-chaos problem solvers. Think of them as your personal wedding bouncers—protecting your peace and schedule while you enjoy your mimosa.

2. Know Your Glam Timeline
Timing is literally everything! Your hair and makeup artists need to know the exact timing and flow. Don’t wing it. Map it out and communicate clearly, especially when multiple bridal party and family members are on the list. A late start can ripple through the whole day and throw off your timeline.

3. Kindly Remind Your Crew
Got a girls’ brunch? First look with dad? Photos before the ceremony? Don’t let the “perpetually late friend” derail the schedule. Send a group message the night before with final times and reminders so everyone shows up on time—and on their A-game.

Deeper truth? Your photographer isn’t your planner. They’re there to capture all the magic—not to reroute timelines or play damage control. So do yourself a favor and build a solid support crew (or better yet, hire a pro) and set the tone for the day you actually want to have.

Especially if you’re anything like Marilee and Andrew and want to spend your energy laughing with your people + soaking in every second of the love surrounding you.

Big news... and it’s not easy to say. 🤍 After a lot of soul-searching, hard conversations, and taking a long, honest look at the economic climate and what’s bringing us joy these days…
 We’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to close Tin Sparrow Events and relocate our family to Texas.

Yep. We’re officially wrapping things up on May 1st. It wasn’t a choice we made lightly—but between rising inflation, shifting priorities, and the wildness of the last few seasons, it just started to feel like the right time to step away.

We’ve poured our hearts into this business for over a decade, and walking away isn’t easy. We’re so grateful for every couple, every vendor, every story we’ve helped bring to life…

Okay okay—if your jaw’s on the floor and your heart just dropped a little...
 That means we did our job.

APRIL FOOLS.
 We’re not going anywhere.
 Tin Sparrow Events is here, thriving, and already deep into planning some seriously amazing weddings for 2025 and 2026.

Honestly, we couldn’t even keep a straight face in the office while writing this. (I’m the family prankster—no one even picks up my calls on April 1st anymore.)
So... did we get you? 👀
 Tell us the best April Fools’ prank you’ve fallen for—we need a good laugh while finalizing timelines.

After a few bliss-filled days on the road with Mr. TS (recharging the creative tank and soaking in some much-needed sunshine), I’m officially back at my desk—emails flying, proposals being requested, contracts signed, and wedding magic in full swing.

And while we’re deep in the planning zone for our full-service couples, we’ve got a little PSA for those of you tying the knot in July or August 2025...

If you’ve been on the fence about whether or not to hire a “Month of Direction” Detail Wrap Up Coordinator—this is your sign.

Our powerhouse coordination team still has a few select dates available, and if you’re dreaming of a stress-free wedding day where someone else handles the timeline, vendor check-ins, family wrangling, and all the last-minute curveballs... we’ve got you covered.

Let us be your calm in the chaos. Slide into our inbox and let’s make sure your day runs like the well-oiled, joy-filled celebration it should be.

Call it a slam dunk kind of love. These two didn’t just bring their personalities into the wedding day—they spun them right into the details (literally).

That’s game-winning energy right there.

March Madness may be heating up or winding down, but around here, we’ve got our own kind of brackets: 🏀 Team “Modern Elegance” vs. Team “Playful & Personal” 🏀 Team “Classic Neutrals” vs. Team “Bold Color” 🏀 Team “Go With the Flow” vs. Team “Full Court Press Planning”

The best part? We help our couples win at all of it.

Because your wedding day should be a true reflection of you—whether that means a pop-a-shot reception compotition, vows at center court, or just a sweet nod to the things that bring you joy.

We’re not just here for the Pinterest-perfect moments. We’re here for the moments that matter. The ones that feel like you—with a little Tin Sparrow sparkle woven in.

So, who’s ready to get their wedding game on?

A quick bit of wisdom for you weekend planning couples: There is no “right” way to get married—only your way.

We’ve planned weddings with 200 guests and live bands. We’ve planned cozy vineyard elopements with handwritten vows. We’ve planned courthouse “just us” ceremonies and mountaintop first dances under the stars.

And you know what all of them have in common?

Each one was perfect. Because it reflected the couple at the center of it.

So whether you’re dreaming of a classic, black-tie celebration… a barefoot beach ceremony at sunset… or a weekend-long gathering with your favorite people in the woods — You’re doing it right.

There’s no rulebook. No one-size-fits-all script. You get to make the choices. You get to make the magic.

Because at the end of the day, what really matters is this: You found your person. You’re saying yes to forever. And how you do that? That part is entirely yours to define.

Need help bringing your vision—whatever it may be—to life? We’re here for it. Let’s build a celebration that feels like you.

There’s just something magical about Abeja Winery & Inn and yes I may be bias since it is one of our team’s top favorite venues.

Tucked into the heart of Walla Walla’s wine country, this showstopping property blends timeless romance with modern sophistication—making it one of our absolute favorite venues to plan and design at.

From the gorgeous grounds and sweeping vineyard views to the thoughtfully restored inn and warm, welcoming staff, Abeja doesn’t just look beautiful—it feels like a place where memories are meant to be made.

The communication with the team is always top-notch, and every time we work an event together, it’s clear: there’s a shared dedication to excellence, hospitality, and creating unforgettable moments.

Whether you’re envisioning an open-air ceremony with golden hour glow or a candlelit dinner surrounded by the sweet scent of the vineyard, Abeja is more than a venue—it’s a full sensory experience.

Would you say “I do” surrounded by vineyard charm and effortless elegance? Let us know in the comments—and save this post for your venue vision board.

Let’s bust a big wedding myth, shall we?

“Day-of” wedding coordinators? They don’t actually exist!

Okay, technically they do… but the name is completely misleading. And if we’re being real (which we always are here), calling someone a “day-of coordinator” sets everyone up for disappointment… especially the couples. Not to mention potential wedding day implosion 💣 🔥

Here’s why:
Would you want someone showing up on your wedding day who has never seen your timeline, never spoken to your vendors, hasn’t chatted rules with your venue and has no idea how you want things set up?!

Didn’t think so!

Truth is, there is no way to step in, wave a clipboard, and flawlessly execute an entire event without weeks of prep work beforehand. REAL coordinators need time to gather your details, review logistics, confirm vendor contracts, walk the venue, create a functional timeline, troubleshoot issues before they happen, and SOOOO much more.

That is why you won’t see our company and/or legit professional planners offering”day-of coordination”. It doesn’t serve you. It doesn’t serve your event. And it definitely doesn’t set anyone up for success.

Instead, we offer Month of Directions and Event Management Services. We jump in 45-90 days out becoming your wedding wrap-up bff — giving us the time we need to step in, get caught up and ensure your wedding day is as seamless, stress-free and beautiful as you imagined.

Why us?! Because you deserve more than someone just showing up. You deserve a team who’s already invested, already informed and already ready to jump in and make magic happen.

Planning your 2025/2026 wedding? Let’s chat about how we can support you the right way. Drop your contact info to our team via DM’s or click the link in our bio to be whisk over to an online questionnaire.

Your wedding color palette sets the stage for the entire look and feel of your big day. It influences everything from floral arrangements to tablescapes, bridesmaids dresses to invitations, and even the overall mood of your celebration.

Tips for Choosing Your Palette:
• Start with the Season: Spring is all about fresh, airy hues. Consider pastels like blush, lavender, and soft green, or go bold with vibrant florals.
• Venue Aesthetics: Choose colors that complement the setting; whether it’s a rustic vineyard, elegant ballroom, or modern garden.
• Personal Connections: Incorporate colors that have meaning to you as a couple, whether it’s the shade of flowers from the first bouquet of flowers your lover gifted you or a color that evokes special memories.

Right now we are embracing palettes that are transitioning from neutral tones to soft pastels and finishing with bold, vibrant florals. It’s all about, reflecting the beauty of the season and celebrating love in full bloom.

What’s your dream wedding color palette? Share in the comments below.

AJ & Zach’s Montana wedding was bold, vibrant, and absolutely unforgettable—just like them.

Planning from afar (Chicago to Washington to Montana) with a bride who also happens to be a professional wedding photographer meant the bar was set high—and we were ready to clear it with room to spare.

AJ made one thing clear from the beginning: “I want to just be the bride on my wedding day—not the vendor, not the coordinator, not the communicator. Just the bride.”

Challenge accepted!

For nearly two years, we walked alongside them navigating long-distance logistics, venue hunting across state lines, custom-curating vendor teams, and even researching ma*****na laws to make sure everything was intentional, legal, and uniquely theirs.

And when wedding weekend finally arrived?

Our team ran the show with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of humor. From managing last-minute vendor delays to keeping rogue family members in check and nailing down the ceremony flow, we made sure AJ didn’t have to lift a finger or check a single clock.

Visually, this wedding was a color lover’s dream:
• Pops of pink and rich blue hues woven through lush florals and playful tablescapes
• Modern romance blended with bold design and effortless Montana elegance
• A celebration that was equal parts elevated and deeply personal

AJ later told us, “You handled three creative stoners, one of whom is also a wedding pro, with grace, patience, endless positivity, and a great sense of humor. We trusted you completely—and we’re so glad we did.”

We loved them, we miss them, and we wouldn’t change a thing either.

Would you go bold like AJ & Zach or lean into soft neutrals for your day? Let us know in the comments—then let’s plan a day that feels wildly, unapologetically you.

Planning a wedding from another state (or country!) is exciting—but let’s be real, it can also be overwhelming.

Where do you start with vendors? How do you manage logistics? What if something gets lost in translation (literally)?

That’s where we come in. Whether it’s coordinating an Italy wedding from the U.S. or planning an entire Montana celebration from Chicago, we handle everything—venue visits, vendor scouting, timeline coordination, and even local regulations (yes, including becoming Google translate masters 😆).
