GariAnn was the best thing to happen to my husband and I. We live in Florida and found her through online referrals after we had chosen our venue. Our first FaceTime "Meet and Greet" lasted over an hour! We just clicked right away and we felt confident our dream wedding would happen exactly the way we wanted by hiring her.
I really wanted to plan my own wedding, but knew I needed someone to help me execute everything on wedding day. GariAnn and her team did that and so much more! The entire planning process was made fun and easy for me, because I had an amazing professional to answer my questions and guide me in my decisions, which eliminated all of my stress!

Our son & daughter-in-law were late in the process in hiring GariAnn and the Tin Sparrow team. What a relief to see the joy return to this couple and a burden lifted. This was the best decision they could have made because their venue had "blown-up" on them with pandemic, new ownership, and a painful decline in communication, service, and general competency. GariAnn offered solutions, pathways and assurances to keep their dreams alive. She actually saved them money with her rocking preferred vendors and ideas. My husband and I jumped in the Tin Sparrow nest and hired them for rehearsal dinner and

Tin Sparrow Events was hands down the best money we ever spent. Gariann from day 1 made this experience about Chris & I and always focused on what truly mattered...our love. Despite all the twists and turns 2020 threw our way, she stood by our side and guided us through a messy unexpected situation (covid) with grace and compassion. We will always be so thankful for her. She never gave up on us even though we were quite literally on the biggest rollercoaster. I’m at a loss for words when trying to describe just how much she means to us and how amazing she is. She will always make you feel valid

As I’m sure many can attest to, 2020 has been a challenging year full of ups and downs. Like many brides out there, I was a 2020 bride trying to navigate planning a wedding amidst a global pandemic. I can wholeheartedly say, my wedding day would not have been possible without Tin Sparrow Events and the kind, compassionate, and brilliant Gariann.
My husband and I (still exciting to say I have a husband !) are beyond grateful for everything that Gariann did for us,. Gariann was there for us every step of the way from the original planning to our wedding day. Her knowledge and expertise helped

I was referred to Tin Sparrow by my wedding venue and I am so happy we ended up hiring her. Our venue was pretty unorganized so having GariAnn to help us was worth every penny. She made sure we had the wedding of our dreams. From the decor to the spreadsheets, she did a fantastic job. Not only was she amazing at what she does, you feel like you have a friend for life after. Our families are a tough crowd and GariAnn handled them like a champ. We’re so grateful to have hired Tin Sparrow.

Tin sparrow is hands down the best that washington state has to offer for wedding planning.
GariAnn is a daughter, wife, mother and a wedding planner and sometimes a counselor.
Her soul captured my heart within seconds of meeting her!!
I came home to my fiancé and said my heart tells me she’s the one. She listened to all my crazy thoughts, and she never judge me.
We went through this big whirlwind that had many ups and downs as the world was hit was Covid-19, but she never left my side. She assured me that no matter what I wanted to do during this time if it meant postponing the wedding

It is not often you find someone in a job where they are doing what they truly love, but we found that with GariAnn and the Tin Sparrow Events team. Our wedding day was a reflection of this passion, and we were incredibly thankful to have found such talented and dedicated individuals to work with. Some would say planning a wedding three time zones away from the venue would be daunting, but GariAnn wiped that anxiety away with her guidance and unwavering positivity. At the slightest hint of stress, GariAnn instructed us to call her—and she meant it. In the months leading up to the wedding she

Like many brides, I began planning my wedding on my own, unknowing of the hidden aspects that go along with weddings. I also happened to be planning 4 hours away from where the venue was located; most of our family members live in western WA, and we love the greenery and freshness of the west side. Finding GariAnn, and hiring the Tin Sparrow team, was the best decision we made for our big day. Seriously. From the planning process, all the way through wedding day, she was there. I didn't know anything about planning a wedding, and they helped me execute one of the most memorable events of both our

GariAnn did a fab job as the party planner for my mom and dad's 40th Anniversary Party. She took our suggested Western theme and put together all the pieces, creating a coordinated, well timed, very well received event. We had everything--line dancing instruction, a chuck wagon meal, Western props in our photo booth, red bandanas for the guests (who failed to wear Western garb)--amazing! We were so grateful for her attention to detail and easy going demeanor; she made putting together the party so fun. And everyone who came commented on the "party of the decade!"
