Hi, I’m Thomas J.—wedding planner, creative strategist, and the voice behind Thomas John Events. Before I launched this blog, I spent over a decade planning and coordinating weddings of every kind—from elegant black-tie affairs to cozy backyard celebrations. But my journey into events started long before that. I planned my first wedding in college for a close friend (on a shoestring budget, no less), and I was instantly hooked. Seeing how thoughtful planning and a few creative ideas could transform a simple space into something magical made me realize this was more than a hobby—it was my calling.
Since then, I’ve worked with hundreds of couples, each with their own unique vision, budget, and style. That’s why I created Thomas John Events: to bring all those years of experience and lessons learned to couples around the world. My tagline says it best: “From proposal to last dance, Thomas John Events delivers stylish planning hacks, trend-setting ideas and expert insights—everything for a flawless wedding.”
This blog is a space for real, actionable advice—with a strong focus on budget-planning, DIY event ideas, and stress-saving tips. I know what it’s like to juggle Pinterest dreams with real-world constraints, and I’m here to help you create a wedding that’s beautiful, personal, and completely doable.
Here, you’ll find smart vendor strategies, money-saving templates, creative décor tutorials, and expert breakdowns on what actually matters. Whether you’re all-in on DIY or just looking to cut costs without sacrificing style, you’ll find support and inspiration every step of the way.
