Tiffany did a great job in organizing our daughter's and son-in-law's wedding and made sure it went flawlessly. We really appreciate that, with her help, our family's special day was indeed special.

Tiffany was BY FAR the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. She's just incredible. She's super organized, task and detail oriented, and put my mind entirely at ease on the day of the wedding (which is SO very vital and helpful). She handled situations with ease, anticipated possible issues, and coordinated our crazy bunch seamlessly. I am forever grateful that we had her on our side leading up to - and during - the best day ever.

The event went without a hitch and everything was planned well. We enjoyed working with Tiffany and are excited to do so again!

Thank you for the event planning services provided to the ONSE Leadership Academy. This is the third event that we have utilized your services and everything has gone according to plan each time. Thank you for the consistency and professionalism.

I can’t imagine how we would have made it through wedding planning without Tiffany. We started working with Tiffany almost immediately after we got engaged, and wow that was the best decision we made. With both of us working demanding jobs, it was incredibly helpful to have her guidance and support. Whether it was picking vendors, managing the needs and expectations of my divorced parents, mailing and sending save the dates and invitations, or finalizing the minute details, Tiffany was there for us. She was always calm and never ruffled, no matter what new covid guidance came through or what new idea I came up with. And then there was the actual wedding weekend. We had 9 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 2 ring bearers, and 3 families. She managed all of these people perfectly during the wedding weekend, helping to bring our wedding vision alive and keeping all of our wedding party members in line. And let’s be real, that wasn’t easy (especially with our rambunctious friends!). I never had to worry about a single thing that weekend, other than enjoying every moment. She made sure every detail was exactly what I had dreamed of. Thank you, Tiffany, for everything. If anyone is looking for a wedding planner, they HAVE to work with you!

Tiffany and her team were fantastic, patient, flexible and always available! Our wedding was originally planned for 2020 and had to be re-scheduled twice with a change in venue. She traveled to our wedding in Cleveland and helped find vendors in a different city and had everyone coordinated. She essentially helped plan two separate weddings, stuck with us through all the stress of planning during the pandemic and was available to any and all requests! On the day of the wedding, my family and I cannot think of the day being executed better and it is all because of Tiffany. She had every detail organized-was flexible with last minute changes-and made the entire day go as well as it possibly could. She was an integral part to our wedding coming together. We love you Tiffany, thank you for sticking with us through the whole wedding planning process and making our day as special as possible! <3

Tiffany puts together beautiful events! She is very professional to work with and pays attention to detail.

I worked with Tiffany to execute a wedding at a restaurant. As the event coordinator for the restaurant, having Tiffany delegating for the couple made my job incredibly easy. She was so organized and easy to work with. It made my night stress-free!

Jessica Zayas

Tiffany has been amazing to work with. She is creative, organized and works well with both vendors and brides. Love working with her! Highly recommend her for her vast experience and professionalism.

Other reviewers have very adequately covered Tiffany's truly astounding organizing and communication abilities. I want to share a few stories from my wedding that illustrate just how incredible she is! Back in July 2019, I interviewed 10 wedding planners. I sent out a survey with questions that I asked everyone to answer via Google surveys (for some reason!). Tiffany was the only planner who filled out the survey. This is to say that she is the one who understood that this was something that was important to me, so she made it important to her too. This is the quality of Tiffany’s that set her above everyone else; from the very first time we met, she worked to make my priorities her priorities. The sound system wasn't working correctly at the beginning of our ceremony, which was such bad luck- we overheard our DJ successfully test the equipment while we were getting our photos taken. It resulted in about a 10 min delay before the ceremony started- in that time interval, Tiffany got warm cider for my mom and my (now) husband's mom, while simultaneously corralling the bridal party to keep them organized and ensuring the momentum of the event didn't get lost in the delay. Everyone cheered when the mic started working again, which diffused all of the anticipatory pre-ceremony tension. Our moms talked (and are still talking!) a lot about the warm cider Tiffany got for them. When faced with the inevitable hiccups that happen during weddings, I promise you that you will want Tiffany there to deal with them. You will not be in a state to deal with it yourself, and knowing that Tiffany, someone with the knowledge, experience, professionalism and temperament to handle it, will absolutely make your day. No matter how big-hearted and generous your family is, it is difficult to get people to do the parts of the wedding that are actually work, like, for example, making the place cards that have the guest's name with their table numbers on them. It's also a big favor to ask of relatives, and it is such a relief to know that you have someone in your corner who you can really count on to get this stuff organized and done. For example, when the aforementioned place cards at my wedding didn't get done beforehand, a detail that was brought to our attention several hours before guests started arriving, Tiffany got all 120 place cards printed that day. Truly incredible!!!! Tiffany is the wedding industry's equivalent of Olivia Pope. When I asked my husband what wedding advice we would give to other couples, it would be to hire Tiffany!! It was the best decision we could have made. We are so happy with how everything turned out- we were guests at our own wedding!! We just got to enjoy the day, which is exactly what we wanted to do. I never expected a perfect wedding but that's what I got because Tiffany was there to handle it! We love her!

Tiffany and her team planned a stunning and flawless wedding day for my clients. As a photographer I get to experience working with different event planners often, but I wish I could work with Tiffany and her team ALL of the time. They kept the day on time and the flow was seamless. She was considerate of the time I needed for photos with the couple and made sure nothing was out of place. Working with Tiffany and her team made my job easier and I know it put the clients at ease. I highly recommend The DC Event Planner to anyone planning an event in the area.

Erika Nizborski

We hired Tiffany for month of coordination and it was the best decision we could have made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Tiffany was organized, reliable, and always available when we needed her! We originally planned for an outdoor wedding. However, a week before our wedding, the threat of Hurricane Florence forced us to decide to change venues last minute. After assisting us in finding a new venue, Tiffany worked diligently with our caterer, the new venue, and other vendors to ensure a seamless transition… which significantly reduced the stress of the entire situation! The day of our wedding, Tiffany was essential to keeping us calm and collected throughout the event. She skillfully planned the entire day and oversaw all operations. She checked in frequently (sometimes with drinks in hand!) which kept us at ease from beginning to end. We were able to enjoy every aspect of our wedding and that was all because of Tiffany! We would highly recommend Tiffany to anyone and could not be more thankful for her services! We want to throw another event just to be able hang out and work with her again!

Olindi Wijesekera

When planning a wedding you want things to be perfect! Your mind starts to wonder did you get everything, what’s missing? That’s where Tiffany came in for us! We thought we had all the little details figured out, but with Tiffany’s help, she made sure every “i” was dotted and every “t” was crossed and more! She made us feel confident that on the day of our wedding things would be just how we planned. She is very organized, great communication, and makes sure things get done, and with a smile!! I highly recommend Tiffany for whatever event you are planning! From start to finish, it won’t be the same without her!

Rachel Pace

Tiffany is a sheer delight to work with. Her energy and cheerfulness are matched only by her expertise. Her motto 'loving every detail' is a powerful hint that this is the person you want on your team when you're planning one of the most special (and expensive) events of your life! She is punctual, responsive, calm, knowledgeable, warm, kind, and thoughtful. Thank you Tiffany for pulling us across the finish line with no fuss, no tears, and no drama! To the contrary, the bride and groom, our families, and our guests were able to relax, smile and enjoy the wedding day. Thank you again Tiffany, and Events by TRB. It will be our great pleasure to recommend you!

Jennifer Jenkins

We cannot say enough about how incredible our experience was with Tiffany Balmer. I think I may run out of superlatives! We hired Tiffany as our wedding planner for the month before our wedding and for the day of the wedding and she was fantastic. She was a consummate professional, a warm person to work with, and absolutely flawless at her job. She took over everything with our vendors and guided us through any remaining details we needed to take care of. She stayed in touch with us daily and never let us feel overwhelmed because she took care of all things with amazing speed. This is one competent lady!! As the day of the wedding approached we knew we were ready. Let me tell you, the best thing I did was hire Tiffany to be there for our wedding day. She never missed a beat. She was there for me and my new husband, taking care of everything and treating us in a very special way on our big day. But it wasn't just that, she treated all of our guests, especially family, in such a warm and attentive way. She noticed what people needed and would provide for those needs before anyone even had to ask! And if any problems arise, Tiffany knows what to do. She can quickly figure out a solution for anything! Look no further if you need a wedding planner. We absolutely loved Tiffany and we will recommend Events By TRB to everyone we meet who needs a wedding planner or a planner for any event. A million thanks Tiffany. We couldn't have done it without you!

Joanne Woo

Where do I even begin... I would hire Tiffany a million times over! Over a year went by after our engagement and everyone kept asking us when the wedding was and we had no idea where to even begin! When we started researching wedding planners, Tiffany was the first and only one we actually contacted and we signed with her almost immediately after our first discussion! It was the easiest decision we made. I am an over-thinker and ask a million questions, and Tiffany’s calm, level-headed professionalism always made me feel like everything would be alright. She helped us plan our dream wedding for April 25, 2020 which was unfortunately postponed due to COVID-19 and helped us figure out how to still get married during the pandemic- we eloped on April 18! So basically she helped us plan and then un-plan/postpone a big wedding, plan an elopement on short notice, and is even willing to be there for us whenever our big in-person event can take place. She was instrumental in helping us navigate the tricky conversations with vendors to try to work with our situation since we are still so uncertain of when we’d be able to hold a big in-person event with guests having to travel in from NY and overseas. That being said, whenever our in-person event is, I know it will be the best because we have Tiffany! Tiffany has a huge network of very professional wedding vendors which made the wedding planning process much less intimidating for us (especially me, the over-thinker and endless researcher!). She knows all of the right questions to ask at vendor meetings/discussions especially regarding logistics, and she was quick to understand/communicate any concerns that we had. She always gave us the time and space to make our own decisions which we appreciated very much. Tiffany is extraordinarily fast at replying to texts/emails and always made us feel like a priority. You’d never know she was in the midst of preparing for another event when you have an “urgent” question or concern- she somehow makes time for it all without compromising on quality! I don’t know how she keeps up with all of the details on a 50 message email thread, but she does it so well. Saying she goes above and beyond for all of her clients is an understatement. If you’re debating whether or not to get a wedding planner, I’ll honestly say we learned that the level of effort that goes into coordinating between all of your vendors is highly variable and difficult to keep track of even if you’d consider yourself highly organized. You don’t know what you don’t know so it’s especially helpful to work with a professional who has been planning events for over a decade. Tiffany is not only a planner, but a seasoned consultant to help you navigate what is a new experience for the majority of us. Having a dedicated person to handle the nitty-gritty of event planning is invaluable so you can focus on the fun parts of the planning process! Tiffany also has such a warm, friendly personality- something that made me feel very comfortable working with her. A wedding planner is one of the vendors you communicate with the most during this special time in your life and if you want to feel taken care of, go for The DC Event Planner!!

Tiffany did the planning and day-of coordination for our recent wedding and she was simply amazing. People say there are always things that go wrong at a wedding – but if they did, Tiffany must have taken care of it because from our perspective the planning and the day of the wedding were extremely relaxing, and went off without a hitch. Tiffany was extremely patient with how vague we were about everything ALL THE TIME – on the day of the wedding, we basically handed her a whole bunch of décor and a vague plan and said “have at it”- and she made our venue look spectacular. Tiffany is very detail-oriented, which is obviously great during the planning process, but it is particularly awesome on the wedding day itself – she was thinking about things that would never have crossed our minds. Having Tiffany plan and coordinate our event was without a doubt the best planning decision we made, and meant that we were able to properly enjoy not only the day itself, but the time leading up to it, with friends and family. My husband and I are old hands at getting married – we had a previous wedding in Australia which we planned (and had a friend help with coordination on the day). The Australian wedding was also amazing, but having experienced planning a wedding without Tiffany believe me when I say that what she does is absolutely priceless!

Rebecca Buchanan

Tiffany is really organized, professional, thoughtful and kind. She's a calming presence - able to focus and stay engaged, with great attention to detail. I'm impressed!

Ed Choy

Tiffany is super unflappable and professional. As an wedding officiant, it’s always a pleasure working with someone of Tiffany’s caliber: one feels immediately comfortable, at ease, and in very good hands. I would unreservedly recommend Tiffany to anyone looking for a wedding (or other!) event planner.

Lindsey Smith

I had the pleasure of working with Tiffany for a 50th birthday party at the Hilton McLean and was really impressed with her coordination and responsiveness. The event was flawless and you can tell Tiffany really loved what she does! Can't wait to work together again! :)

Gracie Epler

Tiffany is absolutely AMAZING! I am so happy that we found Tiffany. She did an amazing job with helping plan and doing everything on the day of the wedding. Tiffany went through every single detail during the planning process and took the stress out of planning. She has excellent communication skills, is detail oriented, organized, friendly and overall does an amazing job. The whole entire wedding ran so smoothly because of Tiffany. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I highly recommend Tiffany!

Carrie Martinez

Tiffany is a pleasure to work with. She is calm, friendly and organized and truly cares about each client. I give her five stars!

Kayla Van Doren

I was helping my sister plan her wedding and it became very difficult for us to manage all of the logistics, vendor options and details to consider. We were overwhelmed and feeling like we were in way over our heads. We agreed we needed a professional to help. We started by doing phone interviews and after a couple of unsuccessful tries, we found Tiffany. We could tell immediately that she knew what she was doing. She has a great way with people - really listened to us and captured what we wanted. We worked through all the details and she managed everything very effectively and efficiently. She answered all of our rookie questions very promptly and considerately. The day of the wedding was stressful enough as it was, but I don’t know how we would have made it through the day without her. She handled everything with ease and there was a lot to handle! My sister was so happy with how her special day turned out - we can’t thank Tiffany enough and highly recommend her to all brides.

Maribel Cruz

We worked with Tiffany and her team on a two-day wedding event and she was phenomenal. Practical, in charge, responsive, yet friendly... a combo that is rare to find in an event planner, believe it or not. It would be our pleasure to work with her again and I highly recommend her to couples looking for both competency and care.

Joseph Fleming

I had the wedding of my dreams and am forever grateful to Tiffany and her team! Our planning experience was mostly virtual. We live in Boston, MA; Tiffany is based in Washington, DC and our wedding was in Charleston, SC. Knowing the importance of logistics, Tiffany created an organized process for us to communicate with her and vendors. Her industry knowledge helped us negotiate with vendors to create customized packages within our budget. Our wedding day went smoothly. Many of our guests complimented Tiffany’s attention to detail and ability to always be in the right place at the right time. I remember Tiffany tapping me on my shoulder to give me a drink as I greeted guests. She understands what a bride and grooms needs and made sure that we were comfortable the entire day. I highly recommend Tiffany to anyone planning a destination wedding or one that involves a great deal of logistical complexity.

Hannah Nielsen-Jones

Attention to detail and thoughtful follow through are what you need from an event planner and you get that with TIffany and her team. I highly recommend!

Emilia L

Outstanding service provided to the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement Leadership Academy Staff. Extremely professional, very resourceful, and certainly worth the time and cost of business!!!!

Tiffany helped us celebrate our dearest daughters wedding last week. It was an amazing experience, We wouldn't have done it without her excellent service. Tiffany was the second wedding planner we interviewed, and we had a list to interview. After meeting with Tiffany, my daughter said, she is the one. And, my daughter was correct, it was a very important decision we made. The wedding was postponed twice due to the pandemic and moved out of state from Washington DC to Cleveland because my daughter and my son in law moved. Tiffany never gave up. She showed same diligence from the beginning to the end. She kept us focussed in all decisions and communications while keeping our fears and anxieties at rest. She reviewed every step of our ceremony and the celebration making sure everything will happen according to the plan. Her help to select vendors and communication with vendors were excellent. Her services during the celebration was amazing, I finally understood the meaning of the wedding planner that evening. I highly recommend Tiffany to any level of wedding.

Danielle Duchaine

I brought Tiffany on as a event planner a month before my husband's 80's-themed 50th birthday celebration. She pulled together an awesome event. My guests were in awe of the decor and attention to detail. I was impressed and elated that we were able to realize the dream party we had envisioned. I will definitely utilized Tiffany's services my my next event!

Devika Wijesekera

My husband and I hired Tiffany to plan our wedding, which was originally supposed to take place in August 2020. We ended up postponing twice and ultimately held the wedding in October 2021. Tiffany was there to support us every step of the way, helping us find the best vendors and handling the communication with them. She kept us calm and focused. I don't know how we would've made it through nearly two years of wedding planning, most of which was during a pandemic, without her. On the wedding day itself, Tiffany went above and beyond. She steamed my dress and did the same for all 5 of my bridesmaids, and somehow found time to make sure the groomsmen had everything they needed, too. Throughout the ceremony and reception, Tiffany was somehow everywhere at once, making sure everything went smoothly. We had an amazing wedding day and Tiffany is a huge part of the reason why. We highly recommend her wedding planning services!

adelaide kachur

I don’t know where to begin. Tiffany is amazing to work with and made our wedding day stress free. Knowing she had everything under control and always 2 steps ahead made our day even more amazing! Honestly she is the beat to work with. I could go on and on about her services. She is worth every penny and more!

Elizabeth Benge

On your wedding day, the only thing you really want to focus on is your partner and the loved ones who have come out to support you. Tiffany was the perfect planner to help us do just that. Vendors were on time, everything was in place, and she helped us nail our vision. We could not have asked for a better person to help us plan, coordinate, and execute our wedding. All of our guests commented on how well the wedding ran and how she kept everything in motion (while still being pleasant to everyone). We loved our day and love our planner.

Goleh Maryam

Very professional, energetic and full of enthusiasm!

Dana Saragaglia

Hiring Tiffany as our wedding planner was the best decision we made after getting engaged (besides my husband and I marrying each other of course haha). Tiffany truly brought our dream of having an intimate ceremony to life. She is extremely organized and a great communicator. From start to finish, Tiffany was there as a helpful resource. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her.

Serena Liebengood

From my perspective as a wedding photographer, Tiffany is one of my absolute favorite planners to work with. She's completely on top of the day, but not with the stressed out and frantic attitude you get from some people. Cool, calm and collected she treats all vendors and guests with the utmost respect and I couldn't recommend her more for planning any special event.

Marvin Gay

My wife and I got engaged in August 2020 and were recently married in D.C. this past September. We were unbelievably fortunate to have had Tiffany along for the entire ride, and honestly there is no way we could have done it without her. From the large decisions in choosing trusted vendors to the smallest details of the ceremony and reception, her expertise in every area shined. She is by far the most organized and detailed person I’ve ever met. Above all, it’s obvious from day 1 that she truly cares about what she does and goes the extra mile to make this an unforgettable experience. In short, if you’re on the fence about getting assistance, do it, and make sure it’s Tiffany. I promise you won’t find anyone better.

Donesha Sibley

Tiffany did a wonderful planning and managing our wedding from start to finish. She turned our dreams into the perfect reality. Having tiffany by our side allowed us to relax, and enjoy the process as well as our special day to the fullest. I can honestly say that she was one of the greatest decision we made when it came to our wedding. I would highly recommend. 10/10

Mary Beth Ray

Tiffany was the planner for a wedding that I officiated in May 2017. It was an elaborate event with a good sized crowd and she was on point with every detail. She was on time, professional, and gave attention to the couple and their needs, which is what our industry is all about. If you're looking for a professional and personal planner for your big day, Tiffany is a great choice!

Denise Gorski

Tiffany is an amazing planner to work with. From the beginning of the planning process to the end, she was very organized and paid great attention to all the details. She is very professional and ensures she provides excellence not just to to her clients but to all the vendors that work with her as well.

Elizabeth Jurkevics

Your search for a wedding coordinator/planner mastermind can end right here because Tiffany is for sure the best bang for your buck!! We are so happy we choose Tiffany as our month of coordinator - she became available to us a few days before the 30 day mark and she was responsive and friendly from that day through the entire process. During the drive to our venue she got to know us and asked questions so she could get a better feel for the vibe we wanted to create for our special day. She asked questions (to us and the venue manager) and uncovered a laundry list of things we hadn't thought about yet. As the 30 day period continued, she sent us to-do checklist to ensure we were on schedule and our vision would be implemented the way we planned. The day of Tiffany and her team were at the venue to greet us with grand smiles and positive attitudes. They anticipated our every need and made sure it was taken care of and provided a high level of professionalism and service while doing so. After the wedding, we had several guests tell us how great Tiffany and her team were. So I highly recommend you book Tiffany of TRB - you won't be disappointed!

Goke Akingbade

Words cannot express how grateful we were for Tiffany! She helped us bring our vision to life and gave us a day that our friends and family will be talking about for years to come. My friends and family couldn't believe how relaxed I was throughout the planning process, and it is 100% due to Tiffany. Tiffany went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was perfect. Early on Tiffany made it clear that she would do everything to help us achieve our wedding dream, which was no simple task. My husband and I are huge Halloween and costume enthusiasts. However, our families wanted a conservative wedding. So the challenge was for Tiffany to help us find a way to incorporate both visions. From the start we knew it was a tall order, but Tiffany was ready for anything. The vision ended up being complex. It was a movie themed wedding that started off traditional but then transition to a Halloween party mid-way through (complete with a costume table and full change of clothes for the bridge and groom) followed by a glow stick send off. Tiffany helped us find the perfect venue, vendors who saw our vision and wanted to help us bring it to life, and helped with every step of the planning process. Tiffany is incredibly responsive. She makes you feel as if you are her only client, and 100% her top priority. She went above and beyond to help us plan for our wedding without stress and with ample support. She makes every effort to check-in and make sure that no detail, no matter how small, is missed. As part of the planning process, Tiffany provided regular emails with detailed checklists to make sure that we were all on the same page. She had us complete tasks well in advance to avoid any issues or mishaps. When people would ask if we were stressed about our wedding, our replay was always "No, our wedding planner is amazing." We were very relaxed leading up to our big day because we knew that we were in good hands. On the day of Tiffany and her team, coordinated everything between the venue, vendors, transportation, and bridal party. She absolutely wowed us, our mothers, bridal party, and guests. We were told again and again how amazing our day was. Credit goes 100% to Tiffany for helping to make our dream wedding a reality. We will are so grateful for Tiffany, we found more than a planner, we found someone who is truly amazing at her job and cares about her clients like they are old friends. We absolutely love her and cannot say enough good things about her.

Vladimir Alphonse

Tiffany did a superb job as our wedding planner. We were extremely pleased with her planning and coordination efforts, communication with vendors, and day-of planning. Our big day went beautifully with her help, and we would definitely hire Tiffany if we had to do it all over again.
