Tanya Brackett
Lead Planner
Tanya isn't new to the event planning industry. She has been on the scene for the past 10 years and has planned events both large and small. Her passion for planning comes from her love for being around people and the love she has for her couples. Her ultimate goal is to ensure their vision for their special day comes through in every aspect. Tanya got started when planning her sister in law's wedding. From there, she became her family's very own go-to planner. Later on she was introduced to another planner in the industry and as they say the rest is history. Her favorite part of the process is seeing everything come together for a couple as well as getting to experience just how happy they are on their day.
When Tanya is not planning a wedding you can find her at full-time job with the County or spending quality time with her daughter Jayda who is a rising Senior at JMU and her sweet dog bear.
