Meet The Team!

Tara Blackwell | Owner + Lead Planner
Hello! I'm Tara, Owner/Lead Planner with Lotus Events. I'm so happy you've made your way here and can't wait to hear from you. A few things about me....
I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas with my two older brothers. After graduating High School a year early, I attended The University of Texas at San Antonio where I received my Bachelor of Science in Interior Design through the school of Architecture. Two weeks after graduating, I moved to Austin where my event planning career began! Never did I imagine I would be an Event Planner, but such is life and here I am rock'n an roll'n and I couldn't be happier!!
Aside from being a planner, I am a wife, mother, and big time foodie. I'm very active so in my free time you can catch me riding my bike, hiking, or running the trails of Town Lake. So if you happen to see me, don't hesitate to say hi!
I also LOVE music. I used to play the piano growing up and acoustic guitar. My husband and I love concerts and live music. We have a marshall speaker that is constantly on in the background at home with some good good jams. Our girls are finding their love for music too which we are excited about.
Lastly, I am extremely organized, responsive, detail oriented and energetic! I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason!
Contact today and let's grab a coffee, or heck, maybe a margarita!
Excited to hear from you!

Brit Krause | Lead Planner
Britany Krause has been a coordinator in the wedding & events industry for 17 incredible years. Always a gatherer of people and one who thrives under pressure, her chosen career path has been the perfect fit! Although weddings are Brit’s specialty, her resume is extensive and includes various social and community events. Brit is known for her intentional, fun-loving approach and deep love for all of her clients. While she is passionate about every aspect of planning, she will be sure to keep you focused on what matters most, the reason behind all the details! (Did we mention she’s a certified life coach, too!?) With her unique insight, mad listening skills, and ability to fight fires with grace and a smile, Britany is your gal for a stress-free, joy-filled day!
When not planning your dream wedding, you will most likely find Britany on a Summer Moon Coffee date with her high school sweetheart, Ryan. The two have been married for 22 years and have 2 awesome teenagers, Dylan & Ella. The Krauses love to travel and adventure together but appreciate a lazy day watching mysteries JUST as much!
Fun fact, Brit was quite literally born into the music business. The daughter of George Strait’s guitar & fiddle player, and niece of Willie Nelson’s drummers, her roots go deep in country music. It must have been contagious because she too has been singing since she could hold a microphone! Britany continues to play with her dad and brother locally and has the privilege of serving her church as a worship leader.
