While not a large event by any means - we were shooting for between 40-50 at an end-of-summer dance party, Tyler made everything SO simple. She was thorough, detailed, thoughtful and calm - the latter which we would not have been if we had tried to do everything ourselves! From catering, the beverages, to signage, to parking, to the all-important cleanup - everything was done exactly as we would want. Five star recommendation! read more

Tyler has a lot of experience in the wedding industry and it shows! I hired Tyler to be my day-of coordinator at my wedding in Sea Ranch, CA for 60 people. From the beginning she made it clear what the timeline would look like for our partnership - what would be needed and when. When I became a little overwhelmed half-way through planning, Tyler was able to pick up additional scope of work which was a huge relief at the time. She also saved me a huge headache by picking up and dropping off some of my rental items since the minimum order spend for delivery was more than double my rental quote (my wedding was in a pretty remote area so most companies charged a high fee for delivery). Tyler was very thoughtful and organized about the little details I didn't think of which showcases her high degree of experience and attention to detail. She wasn't afraid to push on things on behalf of myself and my husband with our wedding venue - which I really appreciated! We had great communication throughout the wedding planning process - centralizing information in a shared Google doc. Tyler was willing to review my own personal wedding planning documents as well. She was always quick to respond to emails or texts, and also let me know in advance if she was going to be delayed in responding. On the day-of, Tyler had a great demeanor - when I saw her I could tell she was getting down to business but she made sure to keep things calm and light with me - making sure I felt comfy and relaxed on my wedding day. She kept things moving in the wedding day so we kept pace with the timeline. She made sure to account for all the logistical things like where to store decor items before and after the event. She was fantastic at corralling all the wedding vendors, collecting all the documents and information and knew when to keep me in/out of the loop at all times. Overall I would highly suggest working with Tyler for her high degree of experience, organization, thoughtfulness, and overall pleasant demeanor. read more

My wife and I just had our wedding weekend in Monte Rio. During the event we kept saying to each other "without Tyler we would die" Run, don't walk. Book Tyler for your event. She is a beyond necessary component and an all around awesome person who we loved crossing paths with. She kept us organized and managed to make the wedding stress free even with hiccups that were out of anyone's control. I can't write a glowing enough review. Because of Tyler we literally had a perfect wedding of our dreams. Thank you so much Tyler. You're an absolute star. Oh, and there's even things she did that we wouldn't even think of like bringing us some more champagne from our room, or saving our place cards from our sweetheart table. She thought of EVERYTHING. Again, what are you waiting for? Book Tyler. Do it. Do it now. read more

The best wedding planner! Tyler is not only an experienced and talented professional, she's also a very cool and calm person to be around. She was the glue in the whole process of planning our wedding and every time we communicated with her she was quick to respond and always brought the stress levels down. She came in ready to get to work, first with our venue, asking great questions and getting the information needed to drive our timeline. Tyler recommended excellent vendors and, for those we engaged, we were extremely happy with. All our desires for our weekend retreat wedding, down to the smallest details, ran smoothly and without any glitches. I am deeply grateful for how perfect our wedding was! Tyler, we'll sing your praises from the mountain tops forever, thank you! read more

We hired Tyler as our wedding coordinator and she made our wedding day and the planning leading up to it go so smoothly. Our families have commented multiple times since our wedding about how great Tyler was, and we agree! We had our wedding at our family's house so needed to put everything together from scratch and Tyler's advice throughout the planning process was so helpful, including advising on rentals and the information we needed from our other vendors. We'll definitely recommend her to any couples we know! read more

If you want someone you can trust on your big day, Tyler is your girl! She will not disappoint you. A DIY wedding is a big undertaking. We not only had a DIY wedding but one that required flipping the ceremony area into the reception area in 30 minutes - a lot of moving parts! Weeks prior to the wedding Tyler pushed us to make sure we had everything she needed in order to make sure our day would go smoothly. Tyler asked us a lot of questions and had us think through many details we overlooked. She was so professional and a great communicator during very stressful moments. On the day of the wedding she went above and beyond to bring all the moving parts with tight timelines together with so much grace. We worked so hard to plan our wedding and without Tyler our wedding would not have been everything we wanted and more. Tyler, thank your for handling unexpected situations so proactively and for adding touches we missed (like our cake topper flowers, finding a table and choosing the colored dropcloth for gifts)! Whenever we look back on our wedding we know that the day we planned was possible thanks to you and your crew - so grateful, thank you. read more

Events by Tyler - Tyler and her team cleared 100 chairs and ceremony items out of way and set up the reception area in photo in 30 min!! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Tyler was the day-of coordinator for our wedding. It was an interesting process - she laid out the logistical and timing decisions we needed to make in the weeks leading up to the wedding and then made sure everything went according to plan on the day. There were a lot of things on the list we hadn't considered that actually went into making the day go a lot more smoothly. We had a lot of "homework" - i.e. decisions to make, phone numbers to wrangle, documents to send, etc. which was a bit overwhelming, but everything went smoothly precisely because Tyler had gotten us to think through it all, lay out what we wanted, and get all of the vendors and helpers aligned and organized beforehand. Once we got all of that sorted out, Tyler made sure the day went smoothly and align to our vision, and we got to spend the day enjoying and celebrating with friends and family. read more

I wish there was a way that I could give Tyler Terrell of Events by Tyler a 10 star rating! We hired her as a day-of wedding planner for my stepson's wedding but right from the start she was a wealth of information regarding vendors, timelines, and everything that goes into a wedding. We used the caterer, florist, & DJ that she recommended and we were so happy with all of them. I couldn't believe how relaxed I was on the wedding day as Tyler took care of absolutely everything! The bride and groom and several guests remarked that she never seemed to stop working to make the reception go so smoothly. She gave us such peace of mind before and during the ceremony and reception we could just enjoy ourselves. I knew we had chosen the right person when each vendor I spoke with stated that she was the best in the business. That was definitely true! read more

We have done several events with Tyler and her team and without exception, she hit 5 stars on them all. My husband and I are always 100% confident in her service excellence and professionalism, and know that we can focus on our guests because she truly owns it behind the scenes. read more

I am writing this review, and I NEVER write reviews, because I was so impressed with Tyler and her team of event experts! Tyler was referred to me through a friend that had used her services for her wedding a while back. I was at the wedding, and was very impressed with the how everything looked and the overall feel of the event. It had a super dreamy, retro city vibe that was hard to conjure and she pulled it off! My partner and I decided to contract her for our bridal shower, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Her attention to detail was better than mine, and that is saying a lot. We had our event at a large home, with both indoor and outdoor usage. Tyler had everything covered from alternative weather coverage options, back up vendors, and even cake decorations. She was very organized, and I felt secure with her running the show, which typically speaking, regarding events, have to be in control of for me to know things are done right. She took that stress off me and my partner, and created a flawless event with 88 people attending. Being a business person, I know first hand that change and uncertainty is usually always an issue and creates crisis mode. I never felt insecure or fearful that our vision, which we worked on collaboratively, would be anything less that what we planned. But I also knew that if something was to come up, that Tyler and her team would have it covered. Fortunately, everything was perfect. My only complaint, is that her car was not big enough for me to bring my giant giraffe to the party. :P Thank you Events by Tyler for making one of our special days, more magical than expected. You know we will see you again! read more

Tyler is fabulous!! I reached out to Tyler for day of coordination for my sister's wedding and she really made the day special and unforgettable and easy. Throughout the planning process she was very detailed, communicative and organized. She thought of everything and made the day less stressful for us and was a joy to be around. 1000% would recommend! read more

Tyler could not have been better. She planned my fiances proposal from afar, and when we arrived, everything was better than I could have imagined. She organized videographers, coordinated the Arbor rental, hand made decorations, coordinated our families, & made reservations for dinner for all of us afterwards. She was a total dream! Look no further, Tyler is your girl! read more

Tyler and her team are hands down the best. Tyler is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and went above and beyond for my special day. My experience with Tyler from beginning to end was exceptional compared to past experiences, I will definitely hire Tyler for any future events as well as recommended her to all of my friends. read more

Tyler is the best! So supportive, caring, listens to client's needs, creative and incredibly detail oriented!!! I highly recommend this one woman powerhouse!!! read more

Tyler was fantastic - she handled my birthday party with less than 2 weeks notice and was there to handle all onsite issues the day of. She is extremely communicative & responsive! Loved worked with her. read more

I'll start by saying this is a toned down version compared to my initial review. I've waited a couple weeks to try and digest things a bit and make sure I'm, not reacting in the heat of the moment. I also provided Tyler a draft of this review via email prior to posting to give her the chance to respond and explain things. I have cut out several points as a result. I am not trying to be punitive, but I do want to share my experience. Tyler was hired to be the Partial Planner and "Day of Event Coordinator" for an event on Labor Day Weekend. According to Tyler, "partial planning" should have included things like "review vendors, lighting, weather contingency plans, general planning topics, assist with additional venue/vendor liaison, rental orders, submit maps, timelines, etc.". In reality, my experience was that the process consisted of her providing a long list of questions that we needed to fill out for her and her team while simultaneously providing little in terms of ideas, suggestions, or concrete plans for what she would actually be doing the day-of. There did not seem to be any examples of her actually using that information to do anything useful for the event itself. Tyler has explained that the real issue in her opinion is that we did not get her all of the information she needed. She couldn't do her job because she did not have all of the work done and details laid out for her in advance. Critical information she requested included things like the ice cream and cake contracts, which along with everything else, we were handling ourselves. What value the purchase contract for the ice cream had to her overall planning agenda is not clear to me. I think there is a disconnect between what Tyler expected to do and what we expected Tyler to do. We arranged the venue, photographer, DJ, flowers, rentals (glasses, etc.), and caterer ourselves with a ton of support from the venue staff and essentially no input from Tyler. She did not, for example, reach out to the caterer to discuss night-of logistics, which led to a long delay in dinner service. She invited them to add notes to a shared document online - the timeline that some others have mentioned - but there wasn't active engagement to plan things out. One point Tyler and I agree on 100% is that the caterer was completely in over his head, totally unprepared, and honestly kind of just a jerk. So, there is absolutely shared blame there. What would have been great though, is Tyler giving the caterer a call a day or two before to just make sure they were on the same page to ensure that everything would be seamless. Instead, the result was a disaster of a dinner. I spent most of the dinner in the kitchen mixing the salads to try and get food out to the serving table. By the time I got to the kitchen there had been a 15-20 minute break in the dinner service and people were wondering what was going on. The major X factor was the temperature. It was over 100* well into the evening. We pushed the event back (based on a suggestion from my sister, not Tyler, despite "contingency planning" being another one of the points called out under her scope). I was running around right up until the last minute moving tables and setting things up for her team, so I can attest to how brutal the heat was. Tyler's team was not prepared for it and one of her team members had to step back because she was feeling ill. Another person helped them recover and they were able to rejoin towards the end of the evening. I am not blaming them for this at all - it is really difficult to remember to stay hydrated, etc. in that type of heat. Ultimately, what sticks with me is that during the initial conversation pre-event, the day-of, and now afterwards, the constant theme coming from Tyler is that not enough was done for her. She was not given everything she needed to be successful. She expected more things to be done to facilitate a smooth evening for her and her team. Everything that went wrong, according to her, was out of her control. Is this the approach you're looking for in an event planner? What I found most disheartening, and really what still bothers me about the whole thing, though is just how negative and critical Tyler was throughout the process. It was a tough weekend where everyone was grumpy because of the heat. Tyler explained that she had three other events that same weekend. That explains why - in the one email she sent out - she got my wife's name mixed up with another client (congrats to "Joy" by the way) and then in the correction email, misspelled my name. That seemed to be somewhat indicative of the attention to detail here. I think the combination of her having multiple competing priorities that weekend, the venue being unconventional and not having every detail spelled out for her, the caterer not being a jerk, and the weather being brutal, accounts for a lot but it doesn't account for everything. I would suggest an alternative. read more

Tyler was amazing! We didn't do a full planner, but coordinated with Tyler. She created a complete and in depth timeline that we were both able to work on over time and it made it really easy to have everything in one place from phone numbers, names, addresses, arrival times and the full layout of the wedding. Tyler is fun and easy to get in touch with with quick responses. We had some issues with late vendor arrivals due to traffic and Tyler was on top of calling everyone and making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. She ensured everyone in the bridal party were where they needed to be throughout the wedding and she packed everything up beautifully to ensure all of our things went home at the end of the night. Highly recommend! read more

Our wedding day was totally stress free thanks to Tyler! She took care of all of the details and made sure we stayed on track with the timeline, so that we could focus on getting married, spending time with loved ones, and having fun!! Tyler is so organized and anticipates and solves problems before they even arise. She runs the show and does it with grace and kindness. I could not recommend Tyler more!!! read more

Highly recommend working with Tyler! We had a few meetings and an onsite visit before our wedding, and Tyler was incredibly organized, thoughtful and helpful during every conversation. During our rehearsal the day before, Tyler easily managed our group of 20+ during the walk through - getting everyones attention, getting people to listen & follow directions, and moving through everything in a timely manner. On the day of, Tyler was a lifesaver. We had 2 mishaps with different vendors, and Tyler was already providing solutions before it even reached us. Tyler had absolutely everything under control the whole day, so my fiance/husband and I were able to enjoy every second of the day. I am so incredibly grateful and cannot recommend her enough. read more

I don't have the words to describe how important this person was to how perfect my wedding turned out. Tyler was a very good listener and took everything that was important to my husband and I and ensured we got it. My husband and I had a hard time planning a wedding together because we both wanted different things, she was able to help us talk through what was really important to us and helped us compromise on what turned out to be perfect for both of us. She was able to keep and facilitate many secrets; I (the bride) was pregnant and we surprised the family at the wedding, my husband surprised me (the bride) with an old friend that needed to travel to be the officiant, and my family surprised us with a videographer and a live stream set up for the ceremony. All surprises were executed flawlessly and with no stress to myself and family. Tyler also recommended a caterer and facilitated the referral. The food was amazing and we still talk about how perfect the dinner was. She also did my flowers. I only picked a few pictures and colors from Pinterest and she was able to create something far better than I could imagine. They were perfect. I loved them and you will not be disappointed. I gave very few examples of what I pictured for decorations or "theme" for my wedding but Tyler listened and came up with exactly what I wanted plus a lot more. We got married in wine country at a beautiful private residence and I wanted colors and decorations that wouldn't take away from the perfect scenery and let me tell you....she designed a beautiful dinner table, charcuterie, and desert table. Terracotta worked perfect with the setting and I could not have ever come up with something so perfect. I am so impressed with what she did with so little direction or ideas from me. Also, thanks to Tyler, the day of my wedding I got to relax upstairs with my family getting ready and I didn't have to do anything. She handled all the problems and was able to micromanage the males in my family with grace. Hehehe. No small feat. I was very thankful for that. We were not the easiest wedding to manage. We started off with a very large wedding but 5 months before the wedding we decided to change to a small private event even earlier than we originally planned. She was very understanding and flexible and went out of her way to make what we wanted happen. Lastly, we had planned to surprise our families with our pregnancy at the cake cutting in this cute little green house that lights up all pretty at night. Unfortunately, It rained off and on all day and Tyler came up to us and said she could still set up what we had planned, but it was really muddy by the green house and suggested we just set up the cake where the family was dancing. IT TURNED OUT SO PERFECT. Tyler brought out the cake (The cake topper said baby in bloom) and set up our sonogram picture on a beautifully set up table (on a whim) and let our families figure it out naturally. It made for a great video and memory. This was all thanks to her! I'm so glad there was mud and she was able to facilitate that memory. It wouldn't have been as special with what the groom and I had thought up. I would highly recommend her. Tyler is a quick thinker, problem solver, an active listener, and very creative. She is also supper fun to party with. I can't thank her enough and I wouldn't hesitate to refer her to a friend. Thanks again Tyler! You were amazing and I am so glad I had such an awesome person there for me on our wedding day! read more

We could not have had such a special wedding day without the masterful help from Tyler! Tyler brought in her expertise and helped us create the wedding day we had imagined. As our day-of planner, she helped us stay organized with our vendors, keep on track for everything involving planning, create our day-of timeline of events which was essential in making it a smooth day, and also was just an awesome friend the day of our wedding. Tyler was immensely involved with everything having to do with our wedding day- decor, vendor communication, liaison between venue coordinator and us. She also flawlessly helped handle a medical emergency during our wedding reception in a way that helped the guest affected, but also kept the evening moving for everyone else. She is incredibly easy to work with, professional, and trustworthy for such an important day. We could not be more grateful for services and would highly recommend her for your special event! read more

Our dream wedding could not have happened without Tyler. If it wasn't for her detailed timeline, organization, and attention to detail, I would've been in shambles the month before leading to the wedding and the day of the wedding. Her experience showed when we did a walk through of the venue. She asked the wedding venue coordinator the perfect questions and Tyler provided great suggestions on set up and so much more. She kept me on track on completing things and kept all the vendors and wedding party on the same page and informed of the timeline. Day of wedding she was absolutely stellar! She set-up everything so beautifully. I am sure she encountered obstacles due to windy weather, but she overcame those and still made our wedding absolutely perfect. I cant express this enough, but Tyler brought what I always envisioned and wished our wedding to be, to life. All our guests could not stop saying how beautiful and detailed everything was! Everyone had so much fun, especially my husband and I! This couldn't have happened without Tyler! Thank you Tyler for helping make our dream wedding come true!! read more

When shopping around for a wedding planner/coordinator I was overwhelmed as I knew it would be the most important aspect of a smooth wedding. I avoided hiring one for months. I was fortunate enough to be referred to Tyler by a mutual friend. Her prices were very reasonable and she seemed the most professional and confident out of the planners I interviewed so I hired her. She was seriously the best investment I made throughout the whole wedding process. As well as my favorite vendor. We sat down and I explained my day and she came back with dozens of questions I hadn't even thought of let alone knew the answers too! She is truly the BEST! If you are looking for an organized, creative, detailed oriented, and thoughtful person look no further. Tyler is extremely helpful and well connected in Sonoma County. She has a great vast knowledge about local vendors. She's saved me a ton of money by her suggestions. She got me beautiful plates for the same price as the ugly cafeteria styled ones that was originally offered to me. I missed my rental appointment and Tyler handled it all for me and had the best stuff picked out. She brought my vision to life and under budget. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Tyler handled everything day of. Down to the smallest detail. Including all the things that I didn't even think about. She's put my mind at ease because I was so confident with her being in charge. Because of her I will be able to enjoy my special day stress free. I have 100% confidence in her abilities to manage any wedding. Hire Tyler, she will be a decision you will not regret! read more

I am so impressed by Tyler and she has been a pleasure to work with. Without Tyler my husband's surprise birthday party would not have been a success. I work in another city and was unable to meet with Tyler to plan the party. She organized everything. She had full control of the decorations and coordination of the event. She was responsive, easy to work with, very reasonably priced and professional. I would highly recommend her services to any one. read more
