Tanari Events have delivered a wedding that went beyond my expectations and dreams. Since I had gotten engaged, it was very important for me to find a wedding planner to help execu...
te so many things that lead up to the big day. What was even more important was someone who could understand and respect the complexity of two cultures coming together so both of our families would be happy. Not only did that happen, but they did so with the THREE back to back events we had. Our guests asked us who we hired because they definitely noticed the amount of detail and work that went into planning the big day and we were very happy and proud to tell them about Tanari Events!
Our main planners, Riri and Meghan who are not only extremely professional but the sweetest and most genuine people you will meet. It never felt like I was planning a wedding, just me gushing about the vision and dreams I had for my wedding. I am a Bengali and my now husband is Guyanese. We have similar backgrounds but our cultures could not be more different. Riri and Meghan went out of their way to research and make not only us but our families comfortable. My father who is a very anxious (and angry) person by nature was my biggest worry from the beginning. I knew that as we closed in on the wedding, especially the big day itself, it wouldn’t take much for my father to snap. However, as of by some miracle, Riri and Meghan tamed the beast and to this day my Dad never fails to mention how impressed he was and how beautifully they handled the wedding. I don’t know what they had said to him or how they were able to calm him without me there, but he had the biggest smile on his face since they walked through my door that morning.
The level of commitment and attention that Tanari Events has shown was extraordinary. They picked up items, purchased ingredients from a grocery store to fulfill my signature cocktail drink dream (Harry Potter themed) when the venue said they wouldn’t. One of the assistants, Erica, even had a pretty bad accident during my wedding but they never blinked, all the while making sure that Erica was taken to the hospital and gotten the care she needed. Who can you think of are that professional, prepared and can handle so many situations like a boss?!
My heart is full and I could not have done it without them, that is the honest truth. They have handled our wedding with such ease, grace and utmost respect, it makes me almost sad because I won’t be able to relive those three perfect days again. Thank you Riri and Meghan!
Love,

Riri and Jillian were the absolute best planners I could have asked for. After getting engaged, I met with one other planner and looked at a few venues on my own, not clear on gues...
t count, budget or even vibe/ceremony style. I was overwhelmed and trying to navigate unknown territory. Enter Riri and Jillian. These two women provided me with so much advice, guidance and general support that I literally barely stressed during the planning process. Their vision and organization allowed everything to fall into place, assuring me every step of the way that everything would be fabulous, and it truly was. tanaRi events did everything from coming up with a beautiful vision, helping me find and choose vendors, coordinating with family, and tackling items that needed more coordination with grace. Above all, they were extremely organized and kept a constant eye on the overall time line, which is crucial. My wedding venue was perfect and each vendor went above and beyond my expectations. Halfway through the planning process, I engaged them to also plan a welcome party the Thursday prior fo 60 people which was a huge hit. I'm obviously partial, but my wedding was an absolute dream and I can say without a doubt that tanaRi events is the reason (along with, ya know, my husband haha). tanaRi held my hand every step of the way, with Riri literally holding my hand right before I walked down the aisle. I say with zero reservation that tanaRi is creative, professional, and worth every penny. I even joked with Jillian after the wedding that I wish I could take her with me into the rest of life too. 100% recommended.
There are no words that can capture my gratitude to the planners at tanaRi events.
Meghan was my planner for my wedding and she is an incredible one! Throughout the wedding plann...
ing process, Meghan was attentive, smart, detailed-oriented and most importantly, kind. From the day we met, Meghan was understanding about the complexities of a mixed-culture wedding. She heard my concerns and continued to provide solutions and suggestions through the planning process.
While my contract with tanaRi was for month-of and day-of planning, Meghan continued to check-in regularly as we prepared for the big day. When it came time for walk-through's Meghan spent a full day with us finalizing details at the hotel, venue and after party locations (even though this was well beyond her scope). She helped us with a full itinerary and reviewed it with me prior to the wedding day.
On the day itself, Meghan arrived with her team punctually and ready to take on the day. My sisters even commented on her calming and soothing nature that helped with keeping me calm on a stressful day. All of the day's events went off without a hitch! Riri was also present at the wedding to oversee everything. Even at the close of the wedding they wrapped up all of the outstanding pieces, swept the full bridal suite and delivered all of our items to our hotel.
There were a lot of sensitivities in bringing our two cultures together, but Meghan and her team handled everything with utmost respect and professionalism. Would highly highly recommend them if you are considering hiring tanaRi events.
TanaRi events was incredible. We purchased their partial planning/day-of coordination package (I forget what exactly it was called) for our fusion Indian wedding which took place o...
utside on an apple orchard in CA. TanaRi Events did everything they said they would do and much, much more. They were very patient with us throughout the entire planning process, always keeping us on course with the utmost politeness and attention to detail. They did an incredible amount of research on our behalf, stayed within budget, and got us the best vendors, even continuing to look more if their first suggestions didn't work out for some reason. They completely understood the "look" we were going for (although it wasn't at all traditional Indian and was much more shabby-chic outdoor hippie than Southeast Asian) and never once tried to impose their taste on anything we planned, simply taking what we said and delivering options that matched what we were looking for. On that note, while we did have a lot of non-Indian influences in our wedding, we were ultimately still married by a Punditji in a traditional(ish) Indian Ceremony, and Riri's vast knowledge of all Indian traditions/requirements/etc. was invaluable for both of us (even though my husband is Indian!). Her ability to speak Hindi was also a great help when it came not only to working with our Indian vendors, but also in talking with our families/wedding guests. Finally, and perhaps most importantly of all when it comes to wedding planning, the dynamic duo that is Riri and Meghan was completely invaluable when it came to handling/addressing our respective familial cultures and expectations, occasionally stepping in to help where needed by helping to translate expectations/confusions, but also always knowing when to stay out. In short, we couldn't recommend them highly enough!
Riri and her team at TanaRi Events are absolutely phenomenal! Riri is very friendly, genuine, organized, attentive, and full of excellent, creative ideas tailored to your personal ...
tastes. She invests a lot of time in getting to know the bride, groom, their families, and the bridal party - and is a valuable resource to everyone involved in your wedding. Our wedding events spanned 5 days with 450 attendees in San Francisco and Sacramento – effectively across the country for TanaRi Events to manage – and yet, Riri and her team did an outstanding job in researching multiple local vendors, mediating our interactions with each vendor and providing invaluable guidance regarding cost vs. quality decisions. During the planning process, Riri kept us on track with her detailed checklists, timelines, and weekly follow-ups. My husband and I were both very particular about different aspects of the ceremony and reception, and Riri not only enabled us to bring our particular ideas to life but was instrumental in managing our bandwidth and stress levels leading up to the big day. As the scope of our wedding arrangements grew, Riri had the foresight to bring on an experienced colleague in Meghan as our Day-of coordinator, who also assisted with vendor contracts, timeline planning between events, and ensuring our vendors delivered on schedule and to a high quality standard. Both Riri and Meghan were excellent at anticipating hurdles and quickly finding solutions before it got on our radar. They both were a positive source of energy and support throughout what could have been the most stressful 5 days of our lives, but they managed all the events seamlessly. Our friends and family still compliment us on how well orchestrated our wedding was. We highly recommend TanaRi Events to anyone, whether you have a very specific idea or have no clue where to begin – Riri and her team are a tremendous asset!
