About us

Hey there!

I'm Sarah

0wner & Wedding Planner

I started Tickled Pink Brides in August of 2022 after spending 2 years planning my own wedding. I fell in love with the process of wedding planning and learned so many things along the way; the good, the bad, and the ugly. I also learned how much work it was to plan a wedding on my own and how many details were needed for it to all come together. After getting married, I realized quickly that I did not want the fun to end! I knew then that I had to start a business of my own and there was definitely a need for a new and trendy wedding business in the North Bay area. I love finding the newest wedding trends on Pinterest and making them come to life.

As an LGBTQ+ friendly business we are committed to using inclusive language and ensuring all of our couples feel welcomed.

I come from a family with a strong business background, and my dad has been my biggest inspiration. He started his own small business almost 40 years ago and has taught me everything I know about entrepreneurship. I may be biased, but I believe he's the best teacher anyone could ask for. His mentorship has equipped me with the skills and knowledge I need to succeed in the business world.

I also love LOVE! Yes, I know it sounds cliché, but I truly enjoy learning about every couple’s story and incorporating these details into their wedding. From how they met, to the proposal, and all the things that make them uniquely them. Importantly, at Tickled Pink Brides all love is celebrated and all couples are welcome.

Haley

Lead Event Coordinator

Ladies and gentlemen, lovebirds and party enthusiasts, gather ‘round! Welcome to the wondrous world of weddings, where dreams come true, love is celebrated, and dance floors witness epic moves. I’m Haley, a co-founder and head event coordinator at Tickled Pink Brides.

My story begins in 2022 when I was planning my own wedding with the help of my best friend Sarah. Along the way I found myself enjoying all aspects of the planning process. From searching for my vendors, to designing my ceremony and saying yes to the dress, I loved it all! We hope to give each couple who chooses Tickled Pink Brides an experience and celebration that reflects your unique love story, style, and desires. I can’t wait to meet you and get the party started.

Kassy

Event Coordinator

Hi I’m Kassy, an event coordinator here at Tickled Pink Brides! I dipped my feet into the wedding world when I got married in 2020 and although it had to be cut small, I still had so much fun with the planning and designing process. When this opportunity to work for Tickled Pink Brides landed in my lap, I had to jump all in!

When I’m not working for TPB, I’m actually busy running my own business! I work full time as a sugar cookie artist. I love all things art and creating. Some other very important things to me are my family, friends, the outdoors - especially the beach, my Bernese Mountain dog Harlow, and my cat Sully! I'm honestly a pretty simple gal - just give me something to do with my hands and I’m happy. I cannot wait to help make your special day so very special. See you around!

Daniella

Event Coordinator

Hi! I’m Daniella, a coordinator here at Tickled Pink Brides. I have plenty of previous experience working in the hospitality industry and have always been passionate about working with couples to create their dream day!

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my sweet doggo, Lilo! I look forward to working alongside the rest of the TPB team to ensure you have the most incredible day!

Love Notes

Jessica Kerr
"The girls of Tickled Pink Brides made mine and my husbands wedding day FLAWLESS. They were organized, SO helpful and fun! You would think they’ve been doing this all their lives! Such pro’s. Even when I ran into a potentially stressful situation during my wedding day, Sarah and her team would solve the problem in 5minutes with ease. They are there to make your day special. If you are thinking twice about having them be apart of your day, trust me when I say, they are the best investment we made into our day. I am forever grateful to them. Additionally, their decor rental items are to die for!!"

Danika Roy
"Tickled Pink Brides has been absolutely fantastic to work with for our upcoming wedding in May. Sarah has been lovely, organized, and has even welcomed me into her home to show me some of her wonderful rentals. We have the same wedding aesthetic, and I’m so happy she’s asked to work with me to get some of my homemade pieces for her rentals after the wedding. She loves supporting local, believes in high quality pieces, and truly wants the best for each and every wedding she is a part of. I can’t wait to see her pieces at our wedding in May!!”

Kelsey Cobb
“Renting from Tickled Pink Brides was simple and straightforward. Sarah was right there to explain the item when I picked up. There is a huge selection of items to choose from, with more being added all the time. I would definitely keep an eye on their Instagram page if you’re in the market for rentals!”

How far in advance should we book wedding planning/coordination?

The 2024 wedding season is quickly approaching. With the delay of weddings due to COVID-19, bookings have been filling up very quickly!
We have limited availability for 2024 wedding planning/coordination services. We still have many rentals available for 2024.

Books for 2025 are NOW OPEN!

Please contact TPB as soon as possible if you are interested in our services! It’s never too early.
Do you travel outside of the North Bay area?

OF COURSE!

Tickled Pink Brides is a North Bay-based business, but we love to travel. In fact, more than half of the weddings we complete are out-of-town. There is a travel fee which is based on the km from North Bay. We charge between $1 - $2 per km depending on if we are driving in a single vehicle or hauling a trailer of rentals. Depending on the timing of the event and location, we may require an accommodation allowance as well.
Do you require a deposits to book?

Yes! If you are booking our wedding planning or month of coordination services, we require a 25% non-refundable initial payment to secure your wedding date.

If you are interested in wedding rentals, we require the full payment of the rental(s) to book. We also require a damage deposit which can be paid upon pick out of the items. The damage deposits will be returned within two business days of the items being returned. The expectation is that the rentals are returned in the same condition as when they left us.

*Missing items that are brought back in damaged or unusable condition will forfeit their damage deposit*

What is Month of Coordination?

Month of Coordination is our new term for what we previously called Day of Coordination. We feel that the new name reflects the true nature of when we begin the process of helping you for your big day!

One month prior to your wedding, the team at Tickled Pink Brides will contact you to schedule a phone call to discuss the details of your big day including timeline, set up of all decor items, and any special requests. From here, we will create a personal timeline for ourselves to ensure that everything you need on your wedding day is taken care of!

For more information on this service, please see our Month of Coordination page.
Can you rent items without wedding planning or coordination?

Absolutely!! We love our rental clients. We have a full collection of rental items available for your next event. Whether it’s for your wedding, birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower, or bachelorette, we’ve got the perfect rentals for you!
How do pick ups/ rental returns work?

All rentals can be picked up the day before your event and returned one day after. Typically, this means pick up on Friday and drop off on Sunday, if you are having a Saturday wedding.

Importantly, pick-up/drop-off times must be confirmed with us no less than 7 days prior to your event. We want to ensure all rental clients have their own time slot to pick up their items to assist with traffic flow. The exact pickup location will be emailed to you upon booking. We are located in the Airport Hill area of North Bay!

If you are a wedding planning or coordination client, there is no need to pick up the rentals! Leave it to us to bring everything you need and take it away.

How long is the rental period?

Our rental fee is for the entire weekend! This means you are able to pick up your rentals one day prior to your event and drop off rentals one day after your event.

Need more time? Simply contact us with your requested pick up/drop off dates and we will work with you to make it happen. There may be an additional charge for extended rentals.
