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.

We can't thank her enough for making our special day truly unforgettable!

Tin Sparrow Events was a godsend for us! My husband and I are not planners by any means--in fact,…read morethe whole wedding planning process really stressed us out--but Tin Sparrow made everything so seamless and easy. GariAnn was our angel on earth during our planning. She and her team regularly checked in with us and were so on top of everything. All of their vendor recommendations were fabulous, and even when dealing with some roadblocks and difficulties, GariAnn and her team were incredibly helpful and made it all look so easy (though I know it was not). My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams, and we would not have had such an amazing, stress-free day if it wasn't for GariAnn and her team. I also have to mention that I have a... let's just say, involved and opinionated mother, and GariAnn was the perfect bridge who helped manage all the dynamics throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend Tin Sparrow to anyone! Even if the idea of wedding planning doesn't stress you out, your wedding will be 1000x better if you work with this team. I would rate higher than 5 stars if I could!

I wish I had the words to describe how relieved I am to have picked Chandra to be my florist. My wedding day was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and that is because Chandra went above and beyond for us. She is for sure, our go to flower gal!

I had already spoken to several other florists, but as soon as I talked to Chandra, I knew she was the right choice. Take a look at her work - it truly speaks for itself! Chandra isn't just some minion at a big flower shop, she puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows. Not only is her work amazing, she knows how to adapt to fit a budget while still making stunning arrangements. She is creative, positive, professional and an excellent communicator for her clients. If you want cookie-cutter, ho-hum arrangements, there are plenty of other florists out there, but if you want something creative, fresh, and gorgeous, you want Chandra of Simpified Celebrations. Why are you still reading this review? Call her! :-)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dawnie and Gabby. They were truly the sweetest humans…read moreand made my entire wedding day run flawlessly. From the moment we started working together, they kept me on track with every wedding detail while always being so gentle, calm, and reassuring. On a day that could have been stressful, they made everything feel easy and joyful. They came with an incredible amount of décor, which meant I barely had to buy anything myself, which was SUCH a huge bonus! Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and it was clear how experienced and prepared they were. Most importantly, they handled everything with grace. From dealing with rowdy guests, to random strangers wandering in, to someone actually stealing our wedding cupcakes (!!), Dawnie and Gabby managed it all so kindly and professionally that I didn't even have to worry about it. They protected the flow of the day and let me fully enjoy my wedding. They were worth every single penny and then some. Without them, I honestly believe my wedding day would have been chaos. Instead, it was perfect. I adored them and would recommend Dawnie and Gabby to absolutely anyone, anywhere. If you're on the fence: hire them. Your future self will thank you.

TLDR: she wasted my time, refused to plan anything in advance, and refused to give me a full…read morerefund. I am so disappointed in Hayley's services. She seemed nice and organized enough when we met. My fiancé and I liked her style, and she promised full service wedding planning, decoration, and $500 worth of florals. The price was a bit high, but felt worth it for all the services being offered. The first sign something was wrong was at our second meeting. She had lost all of the notes from our first meeting and we had to go back over everything. Now I know she's only human, so I gave her the benefit of the doubt and kept working with her. During that meeting, I let her know my venue would be having an open house within the following weeks, she said we could go together for a walkthrough. A week before the open house, she let me know she couldn't come after all as she had double booked herself. After this, I asked her through messages for help with some wedding planning items (the rehearsal dinner that my father was wanting book). She told me it could wait until closer to the date. This is also not the only time she said this. She responded with this most times I asked for specific plans for anything. I told her I was not comfortable with that and would like to plan things early so that we had time to plan everything properly. She said we have plenty of time. A couple weeks later, I asked her to do just decor, because we did not feel that she was a competent planner. She agreed, so we let some time pass before contacting again to go over details of decoration. Not only was it difficult to plan a meeting time because she is busy or out of town often, but when we finally landed on an agreeable time and date, I let her know I would want to go over specifics and she said she doesn't do any sort of design plans or mock-ups whatsoever! She said we would just have to trust her! She expects us to be okay with going into the wedding day with no plan? No confirmation of where things will go, what items will be used, nothing. Of course I was not comfortable with that so I told her we would look for services elsewhere. I asked for a refund, and she was only willing to give us back half of what we had paid her ($1000 so far.) Now I find myself 3 months before wedding date with no decorations, missed all the good deals, and am going to have to take her to court to get a full refund. Like I needed that extra stress. Don't hire her if you want any kind of organization or a plan.

We really wanted to enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about where to go next or how to get there responsibly, Sharon took care of it.

My fiance and I lived in Portland, Oregon when we decided to marry in Walla Walla, and we were so lucky to find Sharon via a google search. I produce events as part of my marketing job, so I was happy to do most of the planning, and just needed a reliable and affordable day-of coordinator. Sharon was an absolute joy to work with! She is professional, communicative, experienced and very fun to be around. The wedding was as smooth as I had imagined it could be, thanks to Sharon and her ability to work so well with our DJ, photographer, caterer and venue contact. As soon as we met her for the walk-through of the venue (two months before the wedding), I knew we were in very good hands and in the presence of a kind and genuine person. She also knows the Walla Walla market well, and has great relationships with caterers and venues; if we would have needed a full-service coordinator, I would have hired her in a heartbeat. And if I ever had to plan any sort of corporate event, family reunion, etc in Walla Walla, I would certainly call Sharon. I wish I could add more than 5 stars, because Sharon is amazing!

The breakfast area was nicely decorated, and the chairs and tables were clean & comfy. It's obvious the owners have tried hard to provide a nice experience. They actually use metal keys, a throwback to simpler times. Minus: The toilet seat was worn, paint had given way to the wood underneath, however the rest of the place is in good shape and I would stay here again.
