Award Winning Southern California Wedding & Event Planner
MOLLY KOMICK - ASSOCIATE COORDINTOR
An event enthusiast that makes Martha Stewart look boring, Molly is a fun loving, creative, and organized member of the Tessa Lyn Events team. She has a passion for weddings and everything that goes with them. The girliest of girls, but a business woman to the core, I always know my clients are in good hands when led by Molly.
KATIE BARNES - COORDINATOR
She fell in love with design as a young girl which led her to get a degree in visual communications at a top fashion school. After realizing her natural talent when it came to the logistics of event planning, she combined that talent with her design skills and joined the TLE team three years ago. She has a calm confidence to her that makes brides feel comfortable and encourages vendors to follow her lead. We are so proud to have Katie coordinating dozens of weddings each year for Tessa Lyn Events.
CAROLINE CALDWELL - ASSOCIATE COORDINATOR
As smart as she is friendly, Caroline is a natural when it comes to events and planning. Her organization skills always impress and her people skills are even better. She has proven to be a great addition to the team.
STEPHANIE SORADY - ASSISTANT
Stephanie joined the TLE team in April 2014 and has since proved her passion for all things events. She has great ideas to bring to the table as well as a professional deameanor. She understands that making a brides day special is what we are hired to do.
TESSA LYN BRAND - OWNER / COORDINATOR
Since I was a young girl, I always enjoyed planning events and hosting friends. I love all aspects of the industry; design, food, photography, flowers, music, decor. Naturally, as I grew older, I found myself enthralled with weddings. Watching two people dedicate their lives to one another, while surrounded by family and friends, is a magical moment to witness. I take great pride in owning my own business and know that I must satisfy every client in order to succeed long term. I have a strong work ethic, creative mind, and friendly personality and I dont cut corners. This is your day, and its important!
I am a Certified Wedding Planner of the Association of Bridal Consultants and graduate of University of Southern California. My experience varies from luxury hotels like Hotel Bel Air and St. Regis, to private estates, rustic ranches and vineyards. I have worked with both large and modest budgets.
On a personal note, I am married myself, to a great man who works as a wedding videographer and as camera operator in film & television. We have a daughter named Chloe. We spend our free time entertaining at our home, spending time with our friends, and traveling the world.

What makes our coordinators different from the rest?
1) We are VERY responsive. You will hear back from us within hours, not days, throughout the entire planning process. Thats a guarantee.
2) We post pricing online for the world to see because we dont set our rates based on your total budget. We like to keep everything very honest.
3) We dont overbook. Katie and I both have a limit of how many weddings we will do in a given time period, which guarantees you quality service.
4) Many of my trusted vendors will offer you discounts for being a TLE client. It adds up to a nice savings! Wouldn't you rather spend that money on shoes anyway?
