Marriage of Convenience

Tan Weddings & Events is a small business - a growing one - that prides itself on personal customer care. While our priority has remained steadfast, the technology that supports our growth continues to evolve and upgrade. Like a team of wedding vendors, these digital companies work in concert to bring the magic! With these tech tools, we have married efficiency with personal service. Optimizing our workflow, tracking contracts and communications, developing our brand, reaching our audience - necessities in our business operations. This translates to our ability for more personal client relations and to be more creative and innovative.
