From a photographer's perspective, it's always a pleasure to work with Jennifer and Rick Tan on weddings. A level of professionalism met with a kind hearted approach has made all the weddings we've worked together run smoothly. Even executing a rain plan at our most recent wedding in April at Stanly Ranch in Napa. Love working with the TWE team and hope to keep working together in the future!

Where do I even begin? Let me start by saying I would give the TWE team 10/5 stars if that was a thing. Actually, we will just make it a thing for them! And… BOOK THE TANS! Honestly, it was the best choice we could have made and they are worth every penny. Do not hesitate..trust me, you won’t regret it!

Our entire experience with TWE from start to finish was seamless. Absolutely stellar communication, organization, planning, and expertise. We booked TWE a year and a half before our summer 2020 wedding date. In the spring of 2020, the COVID 19 pandemic hit and the wedding industry and couples were in crisis mode. We struggled with what to do for our wedding, but Jennifer and her team were there every step of the way. Jennifer Tan is THE person you want by your side when planning a wedding in a pandemic. We ended up having an intimate micro wedding on our original date, and could not be happier with how it turned out. No matter how you decide to navigate your event during the pandemic, TWE will make it work and it will be incredible.

In the midst of this, we changed locations 2 weeks before the wedding and had some vendor changes. The Tans took this on full speed ahead, and everything went off without a hitch. In this extremely stressful time, we never lost confidence that the TWE team could make it happen.

As the bride, I handled much of the planning and communication with Jennifer. Jennifer Tan is a bride’s best friend through this whole process and on your big day! The entire time I felt like I was her only bride she was working with (which I’m sure she had many). That is just how attentive and caring she was. I appreciated her calm energy & can-do attitude through it all. We needed that!

Jennifer and Rick are not only talented and extremely professional, but also just kind, incredible people. These are the people you want by your side planning your special event. We cannot recommend Jennifer, Rick, and their team enough! I can’t imagine planning an event without them.

We had the best experience with TAN weddings! We’re from Canada and traveled down to Sonoma in October 2018 for our wedding. We used TAN Weddings to help coordinate all details beyond what our venue was able to do; from florals to officiating to music and overall coordination and we are so thankful that we did! We feel fortunate to say that our experience with TAN and our venue was an absolute dream. Everything flowed so well and we were actually able to take it all in and just enjoy our day. Jennifer, Rick and their assistants are complete professionals that have a way of putting you at ease and exceeding expectations. The ceremony and reception spaces they set up and decorated were stunning! Coordinating our wedding from afar, we didn’t have the luxury of seeing anything in person ahead of time so we were amazed at the the beautiful work they did with the flowers and decorations to make everything feel so beautiful, warm and inviting. We loved every moment working with Jennifer and the whole TAN Weddings team and would 100% recommend them to anyone!

I highly recommend Tan Weddings and Events, especially our experience with Jennifer. She exceeded our expectations by assisting my wife with detailed plans, considering our discomfort with crowds. Jennifer's support made us feel confident and at ease. Don't hesitate to reach out to them for an exceptional experience.

So like everyone else our July 2020 Wedding wasn't what we originally planned. Instead of Chicago we planned an intimate elopement style wedding at Chateau St. Jean in Sonoma. Enter Jennifer and Rick Tan to handle everything and when I say everything I really mean everything. The decision to stick with our original date was somewhat last minute and Jennifer and Rick were fantastic. Can't recommend them enough. They handled everything from Hair & Makeup, cake, photography and even ceremony music. Once they got involved it just became a very seamless stress free process. It was a beautiful day and a lot of that was thanks to Tan Weddings & Events!

You NEED Tan Weddings and Events on your wedding team. Do not get married without them.. They are AMAZING!!! We are a couple based in Asia who recently got married in Sonoma. Planning a wedding is tough enough but to do it from miles away, during the COVID19 pandemic, posed all-new challenges. We feel blessed to have had TWE for planning, coordination, design and officiating. Rick and Jen helped bridge that distance and cultural gap for us and made everything seamless. They are a powerhouse couple. Their passion for events is undeniable. They also have such a great network. I met my videographer, DJ, florist, transportation and rentals through them. All top-quality vendors. Their designer, Amy is also wonderful to work with. I never got a chance to meet her but my few conversations with her made me feel assured, understood and happy.

Jen is just a wealth of information and I appreciated her insight and suggestions, even if they sometimes differed from my views. I leaned on her A LOT and each time she was so gracious and helpful. I would message at odd hours due to the time difference and she’s so swift with replies..sometimes I wondered if she ever slept. Haha. She made sure to keep us on track with gentle encouragement which we needed to make sure we didn’t slack off and forget anything.

Rick’s was our officiant but he was also involved in the planning aspect. He is skilled at putting things into perspective and helped us sift through different options and scenarios. He did the seating chart and signs for our wedding. All came out beautiful. He was also my officiant and took the time to personalize the service by using quotes from my favorite author. Rick is a gifted and charismatic orator, even my guests said so! His calming presence helped me through the ceremony cuz I was so nervous and emotional.

On the days leading up to the wedding day, COVID19 was starting to close down on events and cities. I was grateful that TWE handled all of the issues for me – they checked in with our vendors to make sure that all would take precautions. Our guestlist was dwindling and TWE also worked with our vendors to make last-minute adjustments.

All in all.. our wedding went off without a hitch and we could not have done it without them. We cannot thank you enough Rick, Jen and Amy. Wishing you guys all the best. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Planning a wedding is a daunting task, but Jennifer and Rick Tan did an incredible job guiding us through the entire process and making everything easy and manageable for us. Anytime I had a question, Jennifer was always quick to respond with a helpful answer. They have so much experience which was invaluable in foreseeing possible issues with design elements or other factors and making suggestions that ultimately resulted in a completely issue-free and beautiful wedding day for us. I am a notorious micro-manager, but over the course of our planning process, Jennifer's competence and expertise became so evident to me that I was put totally at-ease and actually forgot to micromanage anything on my wedding day. I woke up the next morning realizing that I had let go of the reigns without even realizing and was able to be entirely in the moment while everything unfolded smoothly around me. I couldn't have asked for anything better! Also, Jennifer officiated for us to rave reviews from our guests. All around a great team that I highly recommend working with!

My company LILLA BELLO recently had the pleasure of working alongside the amazing team lead by Rick + Jennifer at Tan Weddings + Event! Every step of the way was beautifully organized, and perfectly orchestrated! We were all challenged with a very difficult venue but Rick + Jennifer had every vendor perfectly coordinated and the day went off without a single hitch! Bride, Groom and Family were over the moon! I would work with the TWE Team everyday forever!! Thank you so much!! ♥️ Xoxo!!
