A wedding coordinator works for you. We oversee your full event, including your timeline, vendors, décor setup, and logistics that extend beyond the venue.

We dress in professional, all-black attire that is polished yet comfortable enough to keep us moving all day.

If your wedding has a specific theme or attire request, we’re happy to adjust so our presence complements your vision.

We believe pricing should be transparent, never a guessing game. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through our flat-rate packages and afterward provide your complete pricing guide, so you have everything on hand to review with confidence.

Absolutely not. Teardrop Wedding Events is a planning and coordination company. We do not provide waitstaff, catering, or bussing services. Our role is to manage the flow of the event, oversee vendors, and make sure the wedding runs smoothly, not to perform catering or janitorial tasks.
