Ellen and Ben’s wedding is how to execute a wedding that is authentically you. The amount of creativity, time and love that was poured into these two and their wedding day was unbelievable. They kicked off the weekend with a welcome party at Ellen’s grandmother’s home followed by the most unique wedding day waterside at . At their ceremony, a large orb created by Ellen’s dad and painted by the couple served as their backdrop. Place settings featured custom linens and napkins created by the bride as well as bespoke wedding plates created by the couple’s friend and painted by them, which guests were able to keep at the end of the night! All of these personal details created a day that was “very Ellen and Ben” and one we know everyone will remember forever!

It’s not every day you have a show stopping wedding AND after party. And we will never forget the faces of Daniela and Vincent when they walked into theirs 🤩 During the planning process we threw around lots of different ideas and one thing we knew is that we wanted something different and completely immersive.

And to conclude our “Meet the Team” series, we want to introduce you to the face and name behind Tara Skinner Events... our owner and fearless leader, Tara!

Tara is the friend EVERYONE calls when they need help—so naturally, she’s the one you want on speed dial during your wedding planning process. She believes that events should be designed to leave guests wanting more—and she delivers. Her genuine commitment to a thoroughly planned affair proves that event planning is more than just showing up the day of your event; it’s the months of hard work and attention to detail that create the perfect occasion.

Born and raised in Mississippi, Tara graduated from Georgia Southern University with her Master’s in Accounting before making Savannah home. Prior to owning TSWE, Tara spent her days deep in taxes and auditing working with a Savannah based CPA firm. But, with always having a knack for event planning she found her friends calling her left and right to plan their weddings and parties on the side. It took her a few years to ditch the balance sheets and tax returns but when she finally transitioned into full time event planning she knew she was onto something good. Over the years she has built a team of the best planners in the industry; a team that is fiercely dedicated to client satisfaction and deeply rooted vendor relationships.

On her rare days off, Tara loves to travel the world with her family. And while Tara and her husband Nathan love to jet set, some of her most cherished memories have been made while cruising the back rivers of Savannah’s marsh waters with their two children Jackson and Emerson. She’s a resident football and cheer mom and actively involved in the PTA (often wearing her wedding planner hat to bring school functions to another level!). Her house is full, just like she likes it, with a revolving door of sports games, play dates and barking dogs.

You will never spot her without her paint deck—a custom build with custom color makes her heart sing!!
