I don’t even know where to begin because there truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chynna. From start to finish, she was an absolute lifesaver. Throughout the planning process, Chynna was our anchor; helping us make decisions, keeping us calm when the stress crept in, and always being one step ahead of us with suggestions, timelines, and support. She made everything feel manageable and reminded us what it was all about. One of the most helpful parts of working with Chynna was how she took over all vendor communications the month before. We were able to truly breathe and enjoy the countdown knowing she had it all handled. Every little detail was managed with care and professionalism, and her communication was clear, timely, and kind. But what truly sets Chynna apart is how she showed up on our wedding day. Her calm, steady presence grounded us during a day that had its fair share of unexpected challenges. Things came up… things no one could’ve predicted and Chynna handled it all with so much grace, empathy, and confidence. She not only made sure things got done, but she was also a comforting friend through it all. She held space for us emotionally while simultaneously keeping the day running smoothly behind the scenes. Her attention to detail, her ability to adapt and problem-solve, and the way she genuinely cares about her couples is something really rare. She has a gift, not just for planning, but for people. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her, and we’ll never stop being thankful that she was part of it. If you’re considering working with Chynna, don’t hesitate. She’s everything you need in a coordinator and more.

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail.

Hello! I've been in the wedding industry for 10 years and the hospitality industry for more than 30 years. Serving others is my passion. I believe every bride deserves a planner and so I try to keep my prices low and my energy high!

When starting the wedding planning process, we reached out to many other wedding planners in the area, all of which made us feel like we were talking to a salesperson thats trying way too hard to connect with us just to secure the sale- conversations felt forced and scripted, A lot of beating around the bush with leading questions & compliments, and aesthetic but generic canva lists containing just about every wedding planning service you can think of to try to lure us in before they hit us with the absurd price. Marnie was the complete opposite. She is super down to earth, witty and easy to talk to. We knew within the first 2 minutes of our first phone call with Marnie, that we wanted to work with her. She got right to the point with figuring out where we were in the planning process, our budget, our vision/ideas, and laid out the general process and her price which was considerably more affordable than many planners in the area. She went way above and beyond for us every step of the way while always making sure that we were happy with everything and that we were staying within budget- from securing venues, vendors, food, entertainment, decor, etc for the ceremony, reception, welcome party, after party and all the activities we planned for guests the days leading up to the wedding, setup/takedown, day of coordination, meetings with venues/vendors, and a million other things in between (quite literally ANYTHING we could have possibly needed) During all of our events leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day we didnt have to lift a finger. Marnie handled absolutely everything flawlessly and it felt like she could literally sense whenever we (or any of our wedding party/guests) needed anything at all because before we could even stand up or say anything, she was somehow already on her way over with whatever it was we needed whether it be a refill on a drink, fixing the flyaways in my hair for pictures, corralling a guest(s) to a different areas, hunting down my bag and accessories from the glam room and bringing them to me so i could change during the reception, making sure we got all the pictures we needed, bringing us back down to earth if we started getting overwhelmed, checking us into our honeymoon suite and moving our bags so we didnt have to deal with it after the reception etc. Even my sister said at one point she was standing around feeling kind of anxious before the ceremony and didnt know what to do with herself and Marnie could just sense that and went up to my sister and asked her if she wanted a job to do to keep herself occupied until the ceremony which my sister was pumped about lol. Also we were coming from out of state so we really appreciated the extra time she put in in regards to handling everything we couldn’t physically be there for- driving to different venues and facetiming us, meeting with all the venue/caterer/vendors for us, letting us ship an insane amount of stuff to her house and hanging onto it for weeks before the wedding and then making multiple trips back and forth to get everything to us when we got there and then also getting everything to the venue on time for setup, printing and picking up stationery, supplying us with tons of decorations and even making decorations for us at no extra cost, offering to get us to/from the airport, etc. the list is truly too long to include everything. You get the gist. Essentially…you name it and shes got you. 1000000000% recommend.

Born and raised in North Carolina, I learned from an early age the power of gatherings and gratitude. My family taught me to cherish the moments that bring us together, and it’s this spirit that inspires my work today. To honor my family’s legacy, I named my business Tova Yvents, a nod to my family’s matriarch, “Yvette”—a name passed down to me to carry forward their love for connection and celebration. I absolutely love celebrating others and the journey that goes into creating meaningful experiences. From the planning and anticipation to the emotions and memories made, it’s a true joy to be part of your most memorable moments.

Working with Tova from Tova Yvents is always such a joy! As a wedding photographer, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with her, and I've always had a seamless, positive experience. She’s incredibly organized, calm under pressure, and genuinely cares about her couples and the vendor team alike. Her communication is effortless, and she has such a thoughtful, professional presence on the wedding day. Everything always runs smoothly when Tova’s involved. I always look forward to working alongside her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for an experienced, kind, and detail-oriented planner!
