SAY Events Co

tldr: five big stars, book Kelly & Tarina for your wedding right now !!! Booking the full planning service from Say Events was easily the best decision we made in our wedding journey. Both Kelly and Tarina were so supportive in bringing our wedding to the finish line. They were there every step of the way, from the venue, catering, and making decisions about vendors. They even did all of our decor, bringing our vision to life so beautifully, and being so attentive as we changed our minds throughout the process. Despite the fact that we were living eight timezones away from Vancouver while planning the wedding, they were always easy to reach and their communication was always on point. And as the day finally arrived, it was truly such a comfort and a relief to have Kelly by our side, managing the schedule, making sure we’ve eaten, and taking care of the million little things that come up during a wedding. Kelly and Tarina really helped to keep us on track and to keep us as stress-free as possible. They made what felt like an endless amount of work a breeze, their insight and expertise into the wedding industry is above and beyond, and their attention to detail is incredible. We really could not have pulled off the day without them. It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with them over the past year and a half. We cannot recommend the two of them enough!! photo credit: Aileen Choi Photography

Two incredibly talented women with a wealth of Wedding and Event knowledge. They’ll match your needs and ideas with the best vendors, to create a memorable experience whether it’s in Vancouver’s Rose garden at Stanley Park or a ferry ride to Nanaimo, they are people first. Supporting them is an amazingly talented staff ready and willing to do whatever is required, from making extra ice runs in July too being on hands and knees cleaning scuff stains off a wedding dress in April, they get the job done with a smile and a few jokes to lighten the mood. Say Events is the choice to make for a BIG or small occasion.

1000/5 stars - Hiring Tarina and SAY Events Co was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. The day definitely would not have been so beautiful and seamless without Tarina's expertise. We opted for the partial planning and we are so happy we did. Tarina was able to offer her expert opinions and gently guide us in the direction we wanted our wedding to go. She suggested vendors and helped get quotes but it was up to us to ultimately decide and book who we had chosen. This was perfect for us as we still had the ability to move at our own pace but had help if we needed it. We also decided to purchase decor through SAY and everything turned out beautifully. We wanted the ability to DIY some pieces and Tarina as very flexible in taking over only the parts we didn't want to do ourselves. Tarina worked with me to ensure we were on the same page with the decor vision and everything was perfect! Leading up to the day and day of was when we really got to see Tarina shine. She took over the communication with our vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page and navigated the many last minute guest list changes with ease. Tarina was also so fun and so easy to communicate with. It felt like she was a friend holding our hands through the twists and turns of the wedding planning process. She was only a text away when we had a quick question or wanted an opinion. When the day came, I knew Tarina and her team would have everything handled but I was still blown away at how organized and seamless everything went. If there were any issues that came up, my partner and I had no idea because Tarina and her team were there to handle it. This took a load off my shoulders (and my mom's lol) so everyone could relax and enjoy their day. This may all sound like what a wedding coordinator is supposed to do but Tarina stood out from expectations. She checked in with both my partner and I throughout the night to ensure we had everything we needed (a drink, a snack, someone to bustle my gown). Having a glass of bubbly waiting for us as soon as we finished the ceremony was a small but much needed touch! She even found ways to subtly speed up the timeline because she knew we wanted to get as much time on the dancefloor at the end of the night. She remembered little details like this that we had mentioned and did her best to ensure they happened. I truly cannot sing Tarina and SAY Event Co's praises enough. TLDR; book SAY Events Co, you will be so happy you did!

We’ve loved working with Kelly as our wedding planner and decorator. On the wedding day, the decor was so beautiful and Kelly, Tarina and their team made our wedding day so stress free. Thank you!

Working with Tarina and Kelly has always been seamless! They are professional and organized. I would highly recommend them!
