Topaz & Pearl Weddings and Events

University Place, WA
  • Planner

Hi, I’m Bridget! I’m here to make planning your dream wedding easy and fun. At Topaz & Pearl Weddings and Events, I specialize in seamless, unforgettable celebrations with personalized care. With over a decade of experience in event planning and hospitality, I thrive on turning ideas into a perfectly orchestrated plan. I fell in love with weddings while planning my own—but my one regret was not hiring a planner! Now, I’m here to ensure your day is stress-free, stunning, and uniquely you.

Where do I even begin? Hiring her was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From day one, Bridget truly thought of everything. Every detail, every deadline, every moving part — she had it covered. She walked us through every step and had amazing advice. When our venue unexpectedly canceled on us just two months before the wedding, we were completely overwhelmed. She immediately went into action mode, pivoted seamlessly, and helped us secure a new plan without missing a beat. What could have been a disaster turned into just another hurdle she expertly handled. We were based in San Francisco, and she is based in the greater Seattle area — and distance was never an issue. She scheduled calls whenever we needed, reached out to vendors, and followed up consistently to keep everyone aligned. She even flew down to SF twice during the planning process and then arrived early the week of the wedding to make sure everything was perfectly in place. That level of dedication meant the world to us. She reminded us about payments and deadlines and caught so many little things we absolutely would have forgotten. Her organization and proactive communication gave us so much peace of mind throughout the entire process. One thing that meant so much to me personally was how supportive she was of my DIY projects. She encouraged me to be creative and never once made me feel like I was adding extra work. I know some planners prefer to limit DIY elements, but she fully embraced them — and then set everything up absolutely perfectly. Every detail looked even better than I imagined. I truly think that level of flexibility and support is rare. On the wedding day, she struck the perfect balance of being flexible while still keeping us right on schedule. Any issue that came up was handled calmly and professionally — we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. All vendors were well-informed, coordinated, and prepared. She even created and printed a detailed binder with everything from schedules and song lists to seating charts — the level of preparation was incredible. We are beyond grateful for her. She is not only an amazing planner but an even better person. Her calm presence, organization, and genuine care made all the difference. I truly cannot sing her praises enough. If you’re wondering whether she can handle your wedding, no matter your location, the answer is absolutely yes. She flawlessly executed our day, and we would choose Bridget again in a heartbeat.

Hey there! If you are looking an experienced photographer with an eye for authentic, true to color photos that will last through a lifetime of trends, let's connect! I have been behind the camera for 10 years now and captured countless stories, but each one is so unique and that's what I love most!

From our first interaction with Victory Dawn Photography, we were impressed by their detailed, cheerful, and thoughtful communication. They were incredibly timely in responding to our questions and flexible in accommodating our needs on the day of the wedding. The quality of their work is truly stunning - the photos are bright, focused, and capture all the special moments with such care and creativity. Victory's positive energy and willingness to work with my camera-shy guy put us completely at ease, and they even managed to get him happily posing for fun, natural shots. We are thrilled with the beautiful memories they have provided us, and cannot recommend Victory Dawn Photography highly enough.

  • Classic style

Hey! I'm Heather. I specialize in micro weddings and elopements (and relaxed/lifestyle family photography as well). I care a lot about knowing what's actually important to you and how you want to feel throughout your wedding day... Toss any external expectations of what you *should* do. I want to help you plan how you really want to spend the day, who you want to spend it with, and where you want to be. I want you to feel like you can really be IN the moment and soak up all the love and support by those present with you. I want you to feel seen and celebrated every step of the way.

There is no shortage of wonderful things to say about Heather! Heather captured our engagement and wedding photos and made us feel incredible throughout the entire process. She managed to keep up with our changing ideas, event locations, and emotions. She manages to capture genuine moments and emotions in a beautifully artistic way that is hard to describe with words. I am so glad that we chose her to capture such a momentous occasion--not only are our photographs beautiful, but our days were made better and brighter by Heather's presence. We were blessed to have her with us for our entire wedding day that included getting ready photos, our ceremony at Elope 253, dinner, bowling, and an arcade trip! She even carved out time for us to have our first dance at a gorgeous park right after sunset which meant the world to us. She helped so much throughout the day, from helping fix my veil and organizing a bubble exit, to saving my niece's night with Shout wipes. If you're looking for someone to capture authentic moments from your special days in a beautiful way that will leave all of your family and coworkers impressed, Heather is definitely the right choice!

Forever Greene Events did an absolutely perfect job at our wedding in June. Their communication style was efficient, easy, and reliable throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was amazing - they were hard-working and the end result was absolutely beautiful. They stepped in with a rude caterer to get the job done and handle the situation without adding any stress to us as the bride and groom. Forever Greene Events worked so hard to make our vision for the wedding come alive, and the decorations and setup were done exactly to our request. We also paid to have access to their decorations, which was a huge blessing so we didn't have to deal with everything afterward - and their options were so pretty. We would highly recommend Forever Greene Events to anyone who asks.

We had such a wonderful experience with Susan! She was so communicative and friendly, and she really made every part of the process of coordinating with a DJ easy. For people like us who were very intimidated by the planning process of a wedding her planning spreadsheet and phone-calls/video calls to discuss walk throughs of the day were incredibly helpful. Susan was timely on the day of our wedding and very prompt with responses throughout with us. Her experience as a DJ was clear to us, but we were also very pleased with her abilities as an MC. Plus Susan was very affordable for our budgets! We really felt like she went above and beyond for us when the dance floor opened up also. She provided light batons for our guests when things looked like they might be lagging on the dance floor, and she really kept spirits and energy high. We can't thank, or recommend, Susan enough! Thank you for helping to make our night filled with positive energy and for helping us create wonderful memories on our wedding night!!

Hannah is incredible. We hired her for both our wedding and engagement shoots, and we couldn't be more pleased with her! She has an incredible eye for photography, an amazing work ethic, and a punctuality that is unmatched.. She was collaborative in our wedding plans and combined what we wanted with her experience; she supported our vision but provided direct feedback when she knew something we didn’t. She asked questions respectfully through our wedding day and engagement session to make sure we felt seen and cared for; she was 100% present through the entire process. Hiring her is like hiring a friend: she is kind, thoughtful, and invested in the relationship you create together. She is also very professional, diplomatic, and responsible. Ultimately, you can trust she’ll take the BEST care of you, which is exactly what we all need. And of course, her photos are top freaking notch. You won’t regret having Hannah photograph your special events!!!

Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by. My name is Leigh and I am the owner of Loveleigh Blooms. My passion for flowers has been with me for as long as I can remember. This business started because of one wedding, (thank you, you know who you are!) and since then I have learned how much I love wedding and event florals. I dream of turning your vision into reality for your wedding florals. If you are looking for a wedding florist that focuses on seasonal local blooms, look no further. I am honored to have many local farmers and gardeners in my circle to provide the freshest blooms for your big day. I look forward to working with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met with Leigh at Loveleigh Blooms, I knew she was going to be perfect for our wedding flowers. She had this bubbly personality that made us feel at ease right away, and we connected instantly over our vision for the day. Throughout the planning process, Leigh was incredibly responsive and friendly, answering all our questions quickly and making sure we felt heard. By the end of it all, she had become my friend, not just our florist, and that made the whole experience so much better. On our wedding day, the florals were absolutely gorgeous and exceeded what we had imagined. I incorporated sean’s throughout all our decor, and Leigh jumped and was so excited at the idea of putting florals in sean vases- and they turned out amazing! I would recommend Loveleigh Blooms to any couple looking for someone who cares about their special day as much as they do!!

Cindy and her Team were absolutely amazing. Being celiac, we had a Taco Bar for dinner and Mashed Potato Bar for Cocktail Hour and Cindy was more than happy to walk me through her ingredient and plans which was greatly appreciated. My guests still talk about how amazing the food was, and I don't disagree! Dessert was a cookie Bar. Cindy's team was amazing and more than happy to make all the items gluten free and even used my recipes. The chocolate mousse with raspberries was divine. We couldn't be happier with Cindy and her Team!

We originally booked a different DJ for our wedding, but a few months before the wedding realized that they weren’t going to work out for us. We were getting married during peak summer season on a weekend, and since it was so late in the game we thought we wouldn’t be able to find another DJ who met our needs. Then, DJ Dane was recommended to us by our wedding planner and, after an initial introduction video call, we booked him on the spot. The vibes and professionalism we received from Dane in that initial meeting far exceeded other DJ’s were looking at who were double the cost. It was a huge weight off of our chest to find a DJ who was competent, understood our vision and supported our crazy ideas…all within our price range! Our venue required a gondola ride up to the ceremony spot, a ride back down to the inside reception area and outdoor cocktail hour. He was able to juggle 3 VERY different location set ups and some fairly complicated logistics, all while acting like it was no big deal to him. Additionally, my husband plays the saxophone and I knew I wanted him to record himself playing Canon in D to serenade me as I walked down the aisle. A week before the wedding my husband sent Dane a few recordings of him playing and Dane was able to piece them together and the end result was magical! Dane went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. When we couldn’t decide on our grand entrance song he suggested a few options that matched the vibe and theme of our day and we liked his choices better than any of ours! He did an excellent job assisting with the flow of the day, making requested announcements and handling complicated venue logistics. He kept the party going, and our guests walked away wanting more. I would highly recommend Dane!

We picked this venue because of the beautiful views all around. Despite it being an August wedding, it rained throughout our rehearsal and leading up to our ceremony. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our day would be perfect, no matter the weather! They made set up seamless and gave ideas on how to organize things (super helpful to a bride who’s already making 100 decisions) It rained until an hour before our ceremony, our guests commented how the staff was wiping down benches to make sure seating was dry. It was great!! The bonfire was perfect because it was a chilly evening and made for great pictures. This venue is naturally beautiful, lots of spots for organic pictures. We were the first couple to use the big tent, great timing. The tent was huge and easily fit around 120 people, the lights strung throughout it are a nice touch! We brought an LED sign and Pat was kind enough to put on a wood slab post, making it much cuter! Another highlight was we were able to include our dog child in our special day. She was able to stay with us the entire weekend and we loved being able to include her. Everyone was just so kind and helpful. We’re so happy we picked this place. I recommend this to anyone and everyone, we cant say enough good things about it!

From seamless planning to elevated design, I can’t wait to help express your love letter in blooms.

Carey Jean was suggested by my cousin as a florist for our wedding. We quickly found out she does day of coordination as well. My mom suggested I stop trying to do everything on my own and have Carey Jean do both flowers and coordinating. I am SO glad I did. I was indecisive, overwhelmed and completely exhausted and Carey got minimal choices from me. She still created the most beautiful colored arraignments and made my day seamless. She even handled my meltdown when my son ran off to cocktail hour for food instead of staying for pictures lol. She had the flowers AND my day seamless. Best decision I ever made! She treated me like a friend instead of a client and she truly meant so much to me during a very stressful time in my life. She budgeted for me and helped me save money by swiftly reusing pieces from ceremony to reception, made those centerpieces available for guests to take- which they LOVED (yay no clean up). She made signage when I didn’t have anything, loaned me odds and ends from her personal wedding collection- and I just can’t stress enough how much that meant. Thank you so much Carey for all that you did to make my day the most amazing ever- the compliments on floral and the beauty have not stopped!

At Lake Tapps Floral, we’re all about turning your wedding flower dreams into reality. Whether you’re into classic romance or modern, minimal vibes, we’ll help you create a look that feels so you. From bouquets to ceremony installs, everything’s customized to match your style and budget. We keep the process fun and easy, and our couples seriously can’t stop raving about how smooth it all is. Basically, if you’re looking for flowers that feel fresh, personal, and totally unforgettable — you’re in the right place.

My flower vision for our wedding was jewel tones and wildflowers but still make it feel "wedding". Jaime took that vision and rolled with it. We got so many compliments on our flowers and could not have been happier. A gondola ride was required to get to the ceremony venue and she delivered all 13 aisle displays up the gondola with a smile on her face. I had requested the aisle flowers be used again as table décor, and Jaime killed it designing multi-purpose flower displays. She never tried to upcharge me for the multi-use of the flowers, and she never suggested or pressured me to purchase any add-ons or extras. When I had my consultation meeting with Jaime I told her my favorite flower was a peony, and she told me that flower won’t be in season for our wedding date. She offered alternatives based on what I loved about the flower. When she handed me my bouquet on our wedding day I noticed peonies in the bouquet, and she told me she had them imported from Europe just for me! The flowers were so fresh and the bouquet was so well built! She also helped me wrap fabric from my mom’s wedding dress around my bouquet, and attached a bouquet charm. Jaime went above and beyond to make sure I loved my flowers on my wedding day. Would highly recommend Lake Tapps Floral!

DJ Dyce was great! We provided him with our songs and schedule and he was on top of it. He did a great job cutting/ fading music, announcing what was happening and kept the party going. We received lots of compliments on how fun and seamless our wedding was.

With three years of planning weddings across the country, she blends refined design, heartfelt connection, and a calm, hype-girl energy that makes every couple feel supported and celebrated.

Abby was an absolute DREAM to work with as our wedding planner and florist. From the very first conversation, she understood our vision better than we did and somehow made it even more beautiful than we imagined. She handled every detail with calm confidence, creativity, and so much heart. The florals were STUNNING—perfectly curated, thoughtfully designed, and so elegant they literally took our breath away. People are still talking about them. Every arrangement felt intentional, romantic, and completely us. As a planner, Abby was organized, responsive, and ten steps ahead at all times. On the wedding day, I didn’t worry about a single thing—everything flowed seamlessly, and any hiccup was handled before we even knew it existed. That level of peace on your wedding day is priceless. Beyond her talent, Abby is just an incredible human. Kind, patient, reassuring, and genuinely invested in making your day special.

  • Serves University Place, WA

Hello, I'm Mary, a Washington state-based fine art photographer with a passion for storytelling through captivating imagery. Since 2011, I've had the privilege of photographing numerous weddings, each one a unique tapestry of moments and emotions. My approach to photography is deeply rooted in capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions. From the tender exchange of vows to the joyous laughter shared during celebrations, I aim to immortalize every meaningful detail. Whether it's the warmth of a grandfather's embrace or the playful antics during cake cutting, I'm dedicated to preserving the essence of each cherished moment.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, Mary is truly the BEST in the business!! After working with Mary as our wedding photographer, my husband and I knew almost immediately that she would be our photographer for every milestone moving forward. She is that incredible. From our very first interaction to the final delivery of our gallery, the entire experience exceeded every expectation. We genuinely can’t get enough of her work, her energy, or the beautiful way she tells stories through her lens. We were extremely thorough in our search. We combed through countless portfolios, reached out to dozens of professionals, and held multiple interviews to find the right fit. We wanted someone with exceptional technical skill, a strong artistic perspective, and the ability to capture real emotion. Mary stood out by a mile. Her work is the perfect blend of artistic vision and technical mastery, and every image feels intentional, timeless, and full of life. Our venue is notoriously challenging to photograph, with a massive window that makes lighting extremely difficult. We had heard that other photographers had struggled in this space, so we knew we needed someone highly skilled. Mary handled it effortlessly. She approached it with confidence and professionalism and delivered absolute perfection. Our photos were bright, crisp, beautifully balanced, and breathtaking. Every detail and every emotion was captured flawlessly. Several of our friends who are professional photographers reached out after seeing our gallery just to tell us how exceptional it was. They were blown away by the composition, lighting, and storytelling. Having worked with many photographers before, we can confidently say that no one captures beauty, emotion, and authenticity like Mary does. Beyond her immense talent, Mary is one of the kindest, warmest, and most wonderful people you could hope to have by your side on such an important day. She brings such a calming and joyful presence that immediately puts you at ease. We were nervous about being in front of the camera, but within minutes she had us laughing, confident, and completely comfortable. She made the entire experience feel effortless and fun. Mary was not only our photographer -- she was a source of encouragement, reassurance, and positivity throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond in every way, and it was clear how deeply she cared about us and our story. We felt completely supported and trusted her wholeheartedly. We are incredibly grateful to have had Mary photograph our wedding, and we truly can’t imagine anyone else capturing our most meaningful moments. We know she will be there for every milestone in our lives moving forward. If you are lucky enough to book her, consider yourself incredibly fortunate -- you will be beyond thrilled with both your photos and the entire experience.

My husband and I never got wedding photos done and after two years of being married we decided it was time. The photos are gorgeous, and I cried the day April sent me the final edits. She helped choose a place that matched my dress and aesthetics. Overall the best photography experience I’ve ever had. I will definitely be contacting her for any future photos!
