Reviews of Tableau Events (Event Planner)

Cathy White

Our daughters wedding was at the Inn at Bay Harbor over Labor day weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better day and venue. We started the process with Shelia and Carly at Tableaux Events 11 months in advanced and they were very structured in terms of what needed to be accomplished each month, extremely helpful with offering options on vendors and had worked very closely with the Inn on several weddings. The relationship that they have established with the Inn was a real assets to getting things accomplished. They were able to capture our daughters vision into a design package for the wedding which was a perfect match. I can’t imagine getting through the last couple of days without them. They were extremely efficient and always pleasant. A big thank you to them.

I've worked with Sheila and her incredible team at Tableau Events for many years now and am continually amazed by how their unique process enables them to create such stunning events. A Tableau Events wedding or event is truly awe-inspiring!

Sheila and her team are amazing! The day couldn't have gone more perfect. The decor was everything I imagined and more. We received so many compliments from the guests! I loved seeing the design come to life and the flowers were just amazing. On the day of the wedding I didn't have to worry about thing. I felt so relaxed and I was able to enjoy every minute of my wedding.

I can't imagine a wedding without Tableau Events! Sheila was so in sync with my daughter in her vision for her wedding. She seemed to intuitively know things she would like. Sheila had or knew where to find everything from the perfect pergola for the ceremony to lovely tableware. The suggestions she and Carly gave as far as decor, time line, vendors, and everything else were invaluable. On the day of the wedding Carly was everywhere making sure everything went as planned and smoothing out any bumps that came up. She had a magical bag that seemed to have anything we needed in it. They were easily the best decision we made for the wedding because then they made everything else fall into place in a low stress, fun way! They care about the bride and groom like family and you will miss them after the wedding!

We love love Tableau Events! The team at Tableau Events was an absolute dream to work with, and made our wedding day more spectacular than we could have ever imagined! Sheila is so talented, and her vision and creativity are truly exceptional. She created an event that was visually stunning, and included so many personal touches that truly reflected who we are as a couple which made our wedding even more special and memorable. Our guests could not stop raving about every little detail! Carly was amazing to work with on month of planning, and she is so talented and dedicated! She was attentive, organized, and thoughtful. No detail was forgotten, and it meant so much to us that our family and friends could relax the day of our wedding because Carly had every detail covered. Our families adored her! We recommend Tableau Events to anyone planning a wedding, or event! They are truly the best of the best!!!

Big kudos to Carly and Sheila for helping us put on the most amazing wedding. Sheila helped us from the very beginning with every little detail of the event. We wanted to create a vision of classic elegance and she delivered! The linens, lounge areas, cocktail hour details, customized monogram on everything… are just a few details that really made the difference to create such a fun atmosphere for our guests. Carly was a huge help during the month of our wedding, scheduling weekly calls to keep everyone and everything on track. The countless hours these ladies spent for us made our day so special and I highly recommend stopping by their new storefront in Petoskey to check them out! Thank you so much Sheila and Carly!

Lighting and rentals were amazing!! The lighting was beyond what I expected and looked amazing. I don't know what I would have done without the lounge cluster rentals either! Guests were in them all night and they looked absolutely fabulous with the other decor. I can't say enough about how great it all came together in the end. The only improvements that I think could be made was the communication with the vendor was okay but was often challenging to work through the design process as it was challenging at times to arrange phone calls to discuss the lighting. Also, it was hard to truly visualize what the design was as it was only through discussion and trying to "picture it in my head". Finally, I created my own sketch drawing to communicate what I was looking for so that we were all on the same page. The vendor also shared we would receive a $100 discount on one of our phone calls but it was never applied. Rentals were pricey with a $3,000 minimum and not what I expected in terms of budget, but again we were very pleased at how it turned out. Also, one of the chandeliers would not light in the center of the tent and they came to fix it and left before I even noticed which was amazing service.

What a great experience! Of all our vendors, Tableau was by far the best to work with! They were so professional and enjoyable to work with from start to finish. Sheila guided me through the process early on, helping me determine whether I should take advantage of their design and/or coordination package. In the end I ended up opting for coordination only, as my vision came together and I didn’t mind having my hands in much of the process. Carly then helped me tighten up all loose ends close to our wedding day. She was an absolute angel our wedding weekend, orchestrating our rehearsal and helping me and my family rest at ease come the day of. I couldn’t recommend her more highly for her behind the scenes execution and poise. It was a delight working with Tableau!
