Rocking some light and last minute end of the year business here in the office today before we officially turn on our Holiday “Out of the Office” email notice!!

I have 1 wedding website to wrap-up a template prep for, 1 quick remote venue meeting to rock in tandem with the final venue setup map rendering, a payment plan + contract for a new couple to draft/share for signing then I’m playing Wedding Planner hookie until January 6th.

I’ve got quite a few things still left to accomplish on our Hedquist Holiday bucket list and I’m so excited to immerse myself in the Christmas spirit!

Hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go before it’s Ho ho ho time!

Guess what? Every time we receive a new inquiry, our phones ring or we see a newly engaged couples questionnaires hitting our inbox a small celebration happens. No joke we literally dance and squeal like crazy people in the office! We the real live people behind the planning are the faces that grin from ear to ear with excitement!

We just can not thank you all enough for showing up for us. For supporting us. For beliving in us. But above all for being the amazing humans that you all are!

We had to pause, take a minute and say thank you + share just how grateful WE, the Tin Sparrow Events Family & Team, are for your constant support!

Blingle bells, blingle bells, blingle alllll the engagement rings our way!!

T-Minus 10 days & counting 🤍✨

12/15/2024

As we head in to the official official start of engagement season we wanted to take a moment to address a few of the top questions we have been receiving an influx of:

• When should we get in touch to book services? We recommend 12-14+ months prior to your wedding date for Full Planning or Enhanced Full Planning & after you have narrowed down your ideal date range. Or within a 6-12 month range for Partial Planning and/or Decor & Design assistance.

• When is it to late to book planning services with your team? We typically will not take an event if it is less than 120 days from the contracted event date. There is a lot of information + details to wrap-up before the big day and our team strives for perfection. To achieve a flawless day it takes time, meetings + a lot of information gathering on our part in tandem with our couple.

• Are your planning books closed for 2025? Though our teams calendar does have dates/weekends still available we are within the window of being to close to offer assistance in April for 2025; specifically to meet the caliber of service + design that we are known for.

Each inquiry that we receive is fully reviewed & accepted on a case by case basis so still feel free to inquire if you are in need of planning help but remember to submit as much information on your questionnaire as possible. Be thorough + truthful and detailed on where you are at in your planning process.

• When are you opening your calendar/books for 2026? We are currently taking inquiries now as well as consulting with couples based on each event vision. We do recommend getting in touch soon as our 2026 waitlist is already filling up quickly!

We are always here to help in any + all ways possible!

But know that if we are unable to offer assistance we have a roster of amazing local + alternative planners we would love to get you connected with 🤍✨

Happy Sunday everyone + as always Happy Planning!

The snuggle struggle for me is very very real today!

What is everyone up to this crisp blustery Saturday?! ❄️ 🥶

How can we take you from stressed to excited?

Feeling antsy, disorganized and maybe a little like you have no idea how to rock your wedding without help??

It’s simple really... cancel the panic because we’ve got you!

Investing in our Wedding Planning + Decor & Design services is the right first step towards turning your mindset around. Why?!

Reason 1: We are professionals! As in we have been rocking planning & design for 14+ seasons with more than 400+ weddings under our belt! None of the combined years between team members to fool couples. I opened the business, built our planning + event design process and have earned all the years of experience.

Reason 2: We are more than just some free checklist you found on some random website where the authors have never even planned a wedding. We personalize everything to fit you because we believe in capturing your personality, not just your email address. We live to customize, not to lock you in to some cookie cutter “the same as all the rest” planning process.

Reason 3: We pride ourselves on making you feel safe, comfortable, heard and empowered. We are bonified gr***de jumpers, daily stress relievers and day of event rockstars. I know that we are bias, but without a doubt we have got this whole wedding planning thing down to a science!

Need more reassurances? Peep our past client reviews or we can connect you directly with one or even all of our couples whom we have had the honor of working with during our million seasons in business.

We thought we better chat about our upcoming regularly scheduled “Out of the Office” for Holidays details + dates!!

You know what totally ROCKS about being a small business owner who works 24/7 - 365 every year? The flexible to take very needed + well earned breaks to be with family for the holidays each year.

So without further ado we will be out of the office celebrating December 18th - January 7th ❄️🌲🤍

Quick cancel the panic + hold on the DMs...

• Yes, we will be checking our inboxes intermittently + responding intermittently in certain situations over the breaks!
• Yes, our out of office auto responder is going to be on the full length of the break!
• Yes, we will still be hosting initial consultations remotely via Zoom just the meeting windows will be a touch slimmer so hop on our Calendly now before all the slots find themselves full!
• Yes, all of our “on the calendar couples” will be fully dialed in before the office lights are off and they know exactly what to do if for ANY reason a wedding emergency pops up. But since we have everyone so supported we would actually know there was an issue before they even did!

Getting to meet tons of new couples is still tops on our
LOVE list but taking a break to celebrate the season with family during the holidays are a close close close second.

I’m just going to say it out loud + really loud for the people in the back: REVIEWS MAKE OUR DAY!! I mean second to none reviews are a living, breathing and true testimony from real couples we’ve worked with (well plus one weirdo we don’t know but hey there’s always one in the bunch right?!?)

Check out what + had to say about our planning services + their experience: “Working with Tin Sparrow was a positive experience. From our first meeting, GariAnn understood our vision and offered helpful suggestions to make our wedding engaging and playful. Her organizational skills were clear throughout the process, and she recommended several tools and vendors for us.

One thing we appreciated was how GariAnn stayed calm and composed, even when a few unexpected issues came up. This was particularly true in the weeks/days leading up to the wedding. The day itself went smoothly, and the timeline was well-structured. She handled day of logistics, seamlessly transitioning spaces (e.g. repurposing flowers, moving the guest book, bringing out favors) and gently ushering guests from the ceremony to cocktail to reception spaces.

Our guests were blown away by the event, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, personable, and passionate about creating the perfect celebration, we recommend Tin Sparrow.”

Getting this type of feedback from satisfied clients makes it ALL worth it!

It’s time to pull back the curtain... the inquiry to custom TS planning experience curtain that is. Have you ever wondered how we are able to rock ALL of the different custom + unique events that we do!?

Well, wonder no more! It really all comes down to the first few moments after you decide to hire a wedding planner and from there the magic truly happens. I’m about to break it down for you in 5 quick & easy steps that will just blow your mind!

First, you inquire via our website either on our quick contact form -or- you complete the full questionnaire; we also have a link conveniently located in our bio all ready for you.

Next, we receive a notification that we have a new love story waiting for us in our inbox, we excitedly review ALL the information you sent, which typically leads to a mini office celebration.

Then, we really get rolling which includes responding to your inquiry, scheduling some one-on-one time together to discuss your dream event + we get the preliminary package building/pre quoting started.

Next, we meet either in person or on Teams for your FREE 1 Hour complementary initial consultation; we discuss all the things - event things, design things, service things, excitement things basically we cover ALL the things + we watch your stress melt away. You get pumped for all the fun we are about to have together. We share our client portal with you, we talk about our favorite vendors, share our ideas and a whole lot more.

Lastly, we take all the info, generate and customize a planning package for you + we create a payment plan and we shoot all that over your way.

We really make it as fun, as exciting and just as meaningful as it was when you said YES to your soulmate!

Then my favorite part happens, you send us the “YOU ARE THE TEAM FOR US” email and we pop a bottle of champagne!

Double tap if this sounds like your kind of planning party!

Living for mixed muted Fall tones! On not to mention the most fun and vibrant I Do Crews too.

You might say we love when brides choose a color palette and let their bridesmaids lean into their own individual styles (while still looking cohesive!).

So fun + keeps it unique!

Nothing goes together quite like a stunning ring and a yummy crisp PNW Washington apple! As a planner there are few things more delicious than a gorgeous ring shot in a couples gallery.

You might say we live for all of the juicy details!! 💍 🍎

Release the belief that it has to be hard. Let go of the stigma that it has to be stressful. Banish the mindset that you have to wear all the hats alone. Hire the professionals, evaluate your needs/sanity level and seriously embrace the current moment. The era that you are living in, right this very second, is a once in a lifetime sort of moment where redo’s are not an option.

Do yourself a favor and prioritize hiring the right kind of help so that you can be the best version of yourself as possible not only on your wedding day but all of the days leading up to it!

Now booking for the 2025 season & our 2026 date hold calendar is officially open!

11/20/2024

Raise your hand or drop a 🍁 if the crisp November air, crackling fire and cozy sips have you feeling ALL the season vibes. Whether it’s Thanksgiving that has you in its clutches or if the Christmas spirit took a hold of you early I am sure that preparations for all the up coming giving that’s upon us has you all just as excited as we are.

Being a planner with a huge in house event inventory on hand definitely has its perks (for a million reasons) especially when it comes to setting our own table for all holidays.

Current obsession: hand dyed beeswax no drip candles displayed in a mixture of the new holders we recently added to our collection.

i said “i love you.” but what i meant was —

you are my safe place in a world that is often so harsh and difficult to understand. i am completely free to be myself with you. and that’s a feeling I’ve not know before.
