Tan Weddings & Events

A wedding officiant is something you don't actively seek out until you need one. And when it came time to plan our wedding, I had no idea where to start. We found Rev. Tan at the recommendation of our wedding coordinator, With Grace and Love, and I'm so grateful for the connection! Rev.Tan service's were pretty straightforward and given our wedding plans changing significantly due to COVID we still needed someone to officiate for our party of 11. The idea of crafting a wedding ceremony seems a bit daunting but they share a great program that helps the couple craft the perfect ceremony unique to them. I found the program to be easy to use and so helpful in mapping out the narrative. I felt super confident going into our ceremony having reviewed the script beforehand. There were no surprises.Rev. Tan was readily available in the lead up to the day with some tips on the order of the readings and even gave us some pointers on crafting our personal vows. I especially appreciate him respecting our request to wear a face mask during our event. It's little details that really resonated with me given the times. He took care of our marriage license, sent us an image of the signed doc, and mailed it off to the county. Overall, I was so pleased with the ease of his service. I do hope to take him up on his offer for coffee one day when the world settles down a bit. Forever grateful he officiated our micro wedding!

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!

Lori officiated our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier. She was professional and so sweet. She was calm and did an amazing job officiating our wedding.

Had the pleasure of being married by Rev. Rick Tan last Oct. 15th, 2021. As a bride, one of the important things for me when choosing a vendor is finding someone that fits me and my husband's personalities. Someone that we will be comfortable with. Rev. Tan is very professional and was definitely the perfect match for us. The ceremony was beautifully handled And all our families had nothing but good things to say about how good Rev. Tan was. Highly recommend!

Nothing but positive things to say about these guys. Rev. Tan is amazing and made our wedding day so special! I'm so happy we had the opportunity to work with him!

Rick and Jennifer Tan are a wedding planning dream team! They were extremely communicative and organized throughout the planning journey, ensuring that we remained timely in all of our vendor selections and logistical decision making. They were also incredible helpful on the actual day, putting our minds at ease and addressing all of the last minute snags and adjustments that had to (inevitably occur.) I cannot wait to use them for another event!

Rick, Jennifer and team were an absolute pleasure to work with and are truly experts at what they do. From the day we did our initial consult up until the big day (and then some), Rick and team were guiding us through every single step, making sure we didn't forget anything. They are extremely responsive, organized, and just made the planning process so much smoother (and way less overwhelming)! On the big day, they kept everything in check, constantly made sure my husband and I had everything we needed, and everything was executed perfectly despite last minute changes due to weather. We are so grateful for all their help in planning our wedding, and we couldn't be more happy with their work! I would recommend Tan Weddings & Events to anyone that needs a wedding planner!

Rev. Rick Tan officiated our wedding ceremony on June 3, 2023. I can't even begin to explain how perfect our ceremony was!!! Hands down best money spent on our wedding day and worth every penny!!!! If you're looking for a professional, well-spoken (loud & clear), personable, friendly, well dressed, well put together officiant with great presence and energy then look no further. I tasked my husband with finding an officiant for our wedding and I'm so glad that he found him. My husband searched wedding wire and originally reached out to another officiant but she was already booked so she recommended Tan Events & Wedding Officiant to us.The whole process was so smooth and he communicated with us very well through email. He provided a selection of scripts that we chose from and then he personalized the script to our love story. He is such an amazing story teller! From the way that he told our story, it was so intimate and personal that all of our guests thought he was a relative or a very close friend of ours when in reality we had just met him 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. Pictures do not do his services any justice. If you want to see his actual work, you can see bits and pieces of it through our wedding trailer and video. We are also soooo pleased and impressed that he pronounced our names correctly!!! And extra points for stepping out of the shot for our first kiss! Highly, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!Wedding Trailer [0:19 - 0:57] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLDHdI37iHcWedding Video [2:09 - 2:37] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0CCAnY6uPA

LONG overdue! I thought I've written one for this amazing vendor already. We were extremely lucky to have Rev. Rick as our officiant for our events.Like many others, our 2020 wedding was postponed to 2021. Rev. Rick ended up officiating our 2020 virtual elopement and 2021 in-person wedding. And we wouldn't have had it any other way.Rev. Rick is so kind and warm and has such a way with words. The process to create our script was so smooth and stress-free. He made sure our ceremonies perfectly reflected our love (he succeeded!).On our in-person wedding day, he made time to come say hello to us in addition to doing a walkthrough on his own re: ceremony rituals we were doing (cord, veil, candles). It was incredibly comforting that he went out of his way and looked for us before the ceremony.As for the ceremonies, people have told us that our ceremonies breezed through because of how they were hanging onto his every word. A rare compliment I hear for weddings!Our special days would not have been the same without Rev. Rick. Highly highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Tan Weddings & Events for my wedding and I couldn't come up with one negative thing to say if I tried. They quite literally bring your dreams to life in the most stress-free, organized and exciting ways possible. They are some of the most incredible people I have ever worked with and made the process so memorable & enjoyable!!
