I wish I could get married again just to spend more time with Carice and Pinnacle Affairs! As a wedding planner myself, I definitely am pickier than most when it comes to my vendors, but Carice exceeded my wildest dream. She went above and beyond her role as officiant and stepped in silently and seamlessly to fill any gap she saw throughout the day. She coordinated my rehearsal, sewed my dad's bow tie minutes before the ceremony, delivered a stunning ceremony and vow exchange, and effortlessly conducted the chaos around us, all the time with a beaming smile on her face. I will always be indebted to Carice for making my wedding the absolute dream that it was!

Hali and Leila made our wedding day run so seamlessly at a non-traditional venue. Hali was fantastic to work with prior to the wedding and listened to and executed exactly what we envisioned. We were truly able to step away from the operations and be fully present with each other, our families, and friends. Everything was set up beautifully and tended throughout the evening, and I had no idea when vendors arrived, setup, and left. I even learned after the fact that they ingeniously fixed the ceremony decor that kept falling over in the wind. They also managed to run a magic dessert table that was constantly full despite so many people taking cupcakes. I'm confident there are multiple other events that happened without my knowledge that made the day happen as it did. Hali and Leila were amazing to work with and if you are considering booking them for your wedding, do it!!

Words cannot describe how incredible our day was and how much joy we felt having the JLM team there. Johanna’s wedding industry knowledge is incredible and beyond what we expected. We had a private property wedding with lots of tent permit/alcohol license questions that needed answers. Johanna not only helped answer all of our questions, but gave us the confidence to sit back and enjoy our day! She was punctual and always a ray of sunshine! We also had a specific vision for the table settings and ceremony. JLM executed the decor flawlessly. We also hired Danielly to capture short “content creation” videos.

As a minister, I’ve officiated quite a few weddings over the years—and I’ve worked with all kinds of planners and coordinators. Some are focused solely on the bride, others are scrambling behind the scenes, and a rare few manage to bring it all together with grace, confidence, and kindness. Tara, the lead planner at TR Decor and Events, is absolutely one of those rare few. From the moment I arrived at the rehearsal, Tara had everything dialed in—names memorized, cues timed out, and a calm sense of leadership that made everyone, including me, feel at ease. She wasn’t overbearing or bossy, just quietly in charge in the best possible way. With a smile on her face and a gracious spirit, she kept the whole event flowing like a well-rehearsed dance. What really stood out to me was her attention to detail and how she treated people. Vendors, guests, family members—everyone was met with kindness and care. Tara and her team went above and beyond to make sure the day wasn’t just beautiful, but meaningful and smooth from start to finish. If you’re looking for a planner who truly knows how to hold all the moving parts of a wedding with both professionalism and heart, Tara and TR Decor and Events are a dream to work with.

We've spent over a decade producing high-end celebrations where the details are noticed, the standards are high, and the experience is everything. We design for couples who want abundance done with intention. The elevated tabletop, the lush florals, the activations that keep guests talking for years. And someone experienced enough to hold every piece of it so you can stay present for all of it.

Working with Alisha for our destination wedding was a dream come true! We found her when she was starting as a day-of wedding planner, and despite initial nerves, we decided to trust her – and we're so glad we did. Alisha was not just professional but went above and beyond with her attention to detail and genuine care. Our wedding plans shifted from Cozumel, Mexico, to San Juan, Puerto Rico, due to COVID-19, but Alisha handled it all seamlessly. She kept us calm and ensured everything ran perfectly on our big day. Alisha's proactive and dedicated approach made a huge difference. She managed everything from scheduling to booking vendors, and her collaboration with other vendors was spot-on. We're incredibly thankful for her role in making our wedding a success.

We are more than happy to travel for our couples- even destination weddings! We offer something for all couples, from full service planning, partial planning, and event management. Our passion is to create unforgettable weddings that are innovative, personal and leave a lasting impression on your guests. To us, every detail matters and that is why we make sure no detail goes unnoticed. We work with you from the beginning to help develop your unique vision and create the event of your dreams!

When choosing a day of coordinator for our wedding, one of our top priorities was finding someone we could fully trust to execute our vision. From our very first phone call with Hallie, we knew that her and her team were the perfect fit. Hallie is incredibly kind, detail-oriented, and confident. She knows exactly what needs to get done and the best way to get it done. Her team members are also phenomenal and they all worked together seamlessly with our other vendors so that every detail was executed as planned. Aside from the flawless wedding day, Hallie took SO much off of our plate in the final few months by creating our timeline and coordinating with our other vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. She asked us questions about details we wouldn't have ever thought of, which helped to create a magical, stress-free wedding day. It really could not have been any better. A member of our wedding party said "I have seen so many stressed brides day of but you were legit vibing". She is correct -- I am typically an anxious person but I was able to enjoy and be present in every moment for the ENTIRE day and I owe a lot of that to Hallie and her team. Thank you, Hallie & team, for helping Conor and I create the perfect celebration of our love on the best day of our lives.

When I first started planning my wedding, I looked at vendors on Zola, but I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted (besides a specific venue). I ended up looking on Google for local wedding planners who could give me an idea of what has worked well in the past, and that's how I found Whitney. She helped me figure out what would work well for the venue and my budget and gave me suggestions to help refine my idea beyond "flowers" and "mid-budget". (This was really great since my fiancée had no interest in helping--a red flag.) To make a long story short, working with Whitney was great even though my wedding ended up being called off. I'm currently focusing on myself, so who knows if I'll ever need to plan another wedding. But I'd definitely work with Whitney again if I ever do!

Allie’s the person who comes to mind when people ask, “how was the wedding?” From lighting to song choices to the flower girl’s petals to the bridal suite (and so, so much more), Allie was on top of it all. Her passion for her work coupled with her top-notch ability to navigate the bride and groom, their families, and venue/vendor staff blew my expectations for a day-of coordinator out of the water. She made sure the day ran smoothly and kept everyone on schedule, while working behind the scenes to ensure things (and people!) were where they needed to be and when. Her ability to remove stressful decisions without forgetting the little details let everyone focus on having a great time. We could not have done it without her.
