I’m Taryn—event planner, founder, and often found with a timeline in one hand and a passport in the other. I’m drawn to beautiful details, thoughtful design, and the quiet in-between moments that make a celebration feel truly unforgettable.

Harlow & Oak was founded on the belief that extraordinary celebrations are built as much on feeling as they are on precision. With more than a decade of experience leading luxury destination weddings through my flagship firm, Taryn Stark Wyant Event Planning & Design (TSWED), my approach is shaped by an editorial eye, intentional structure, and a steady, calming presence that allows couples to be fully present on their wedding day.

Planning, to me, is less about perfection and more about intention—the way a space unfolds, the rhythm of the day, and the confidence that comes from knowing every detail has been thoughtfully handled. Harlow & Oak brings that same white-glove experience to North Carolina, where timeless design, quiet confidence, and genuine hospitality come together to create celebrations that feel effortless, personal, and deeply meaningful.
