The H&O Signature
We are planners with heart and a refined eye. Our signature style lives at the intersection of organic elegance and modern charm—layered neutrals, story-driven styling, and a deeply human approach to hospitality.
We proudly serve couples across North Carolina and the Southeast who crave design excellence and a kind, collaborative experience.
✦ About Taryn
With over a decade of luxury destination planning experience through her flagship firm, Taryn Stark Wyant Event Planning & Design (TSWED), Taryn brings a rare blend of editorial vision, logistical mastery, and grounded warmth to every event. Her work has taken her across the globe—from sweeping Hawaiian coastlines to historic estates—but her heart remains rooted in creating meaningful, tailored experiences for each couple she serves.
Taryn founded Harlow & Oak to bring that same white-glove sensibility to the North Carolina market—merging timeless design with seamless execution. Her calm confidence and deeply personal approach ensure that each celebration is both beautifully intentional and logistically effortless.
“Weddings are personal. They should feel like a reflection of each individual couple, not a performance.”
— Taryn Stark Wyant
