Jasmine was an absolutely amazing makeup artist! She brought such fun, creativity, and positive energy to the entire morning. From the moment she arrived, she made everyone feel relaxed and excited for the day. She truly listened to what I wanted, offering ideas that made the look even better than I imagined. What stood out most was how flexible and kind she was. When we finished early, she didn’t hesitate to take on an additional bridesmaid so everyone could feel beautiful and included. (and let us pay on the spot). Her attention to detail and upbeat attitude made the whole experience effortless and joyful. By the time we were ready to walk down the aisle, we all looked and felt incredible. Jasmine’s talent and warm personality made such a difference, and I can’t recommend her enough!

My husband and I got married this past August and I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while but we had a big move and time got away from us. As a wedding vendor myself I know how important it is to have a DJ that can balance fun and professionalism, but Joey Chang did just that. He was punctual, detail oriented, and our guest couldn’t stop talking about how good he was, both as a musician and as a DJ. I really appreciated the time and effort he took to insure that no details were missed. We booked a lighting package as well and our ceremony space looked even better than I could have imagined. Joey made sure the ceremony audio was perfect. Everyone could hear the whole ceremony which was really important to us. And when he played cello for our processional and recessional, the sound really filled the space and sounded beautiful. During our cocktail hour he played cello and did some beatboxing, we were so impressed and our guests loved it as well, they were talking about how good he was and how they could hardly believe it was live music. After dinner the dance floor was full the whole night. Even months later we still have people telling us how much fun they had dancing, how great our playlist was, and how much they liked our DJ. If you want your wedding to be classy, romantic, a total rager, and go off without a hitch, I would highly recommend hiring Cello Joe!

Hello Brides! 💍✨ My name is Mandi, the artist behind the brush at MakeupbyMandiP I’m a local makeup artist based in Nevada County and I travel all throughout Northern California.

On my wedding day, she made everyone feel calm, comfortable, and truly beautiful—especially my mom and mother-in-law who were experiencing professional makeup for the first time.

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

Anne Roos was a fantastic live music addition to our wedding in early April. She had worked with our coordinator in the past, making it a seamless integration into the wedding program. We loved the deep library of music that she offered; we found songs that fit every moment for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. The music added a classy touch to our ceremony and the guests loved the movie themes and show tunes! We had our wedding just after in the last major snowfall in North Lake and she was able to accommodate that the changing weather without any disruption to the program. We would highly recommend Anne for anyone looking for a Classical harpist in the Tahoe region.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

We booked Teddy months in advance for our wedding day on April 26, 2025. We wanted a cinematic style to capture our day but we also weren’t familiar with the poses nor how to work with a photographer for a full 11 hours. Teddy made it super easy and great to work with him and ask him what we were hoping to get captured on our wedding day. He was communicative, on time, and open to going with the flow as changes came up with our itinerary due to unexpected rain. We got married at our church, took pictures at a nearby garden, and then we traveled 30 minutes to the reception. We definitely recommend him and hope others can have the great experience we had with him!

You NEED Crush’s at your wedding! Hadyn and Falon were amazing! Knowledgeable, professional, and fun! Seriously, our family & friends are still raving about the cocktails at our wedding. :) We found Crush’s on Instagram and fell in love with the creative and photogenic cocktails they posted. We booked the cocktail bar package for our wedding and they provided us with a tasting of our choice of 4 bottled cocktails to try at home so we could narrow it down to 3. They were all delicious, but we ended up going with the Watermelon Moscow Mule, Open Flame, & Rosehip Dew Drop. They then provided us with a list of liquor we needed to purchase for the selected cocktails, since mobile bars are a “dry-hire” bartending service in CA. On our wedding day, the ladies were on time and helped setup the self-serve beer, wine, non-alcoholic drink buckets, and welcome shots. They provided the buckets, ice, cups, hand-made cocktail mixers, garnishes, etc., and brought their own beautiful wooden bar. They served our 3 cocktails along with straight & mixed shots all night. The cocktails were such a hit, that we ran out of liquor (we had a ton of beer left lol). The ladies offered to run to the liquor store to purchase more and saved the night! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Recommend them 10000%!

We are dedicated to the highest quality of service, innovation, and attention to detail. Our mission is to orchestrate guest experiences to flow seamlessly like a work of art. We merge thoughtful design with high standards for guest services. We also own The AIM Collection: A boutique specialty rental company.

I’m not sure I can express in words how grateful I am for Cassandra, but I’ll try. We hired Cassandra to plan our July 2025 wedding at Valhalla in South Lake Tahoe. Aesthetically: I am someone who considers myself somewhat of a creative, but not incredibly organized, and certainly not a planner. For my wedding I had a vision for what some things would look like, and I wanted to design a few things myself (stationery/paper goods/signage), and I had a general aesthetic vision for the wedding but I couldn’t begin to imagine how to plan a whole event. Cassandra met me exactly where I was, rolling with my ideas and filling them out with all the rest of the details perfectly. She has beautiful taste (photos of her past weddings is what initially drew me to her) and all of her ideas were excellent; I had a lot of fun in our planning meetings where she would show me several options for various tablescape components and we could talk through them and choose together. Visually, our wedding was a dream. Organizationally: We did a “partial planning” package, which meant that I was more in charge of hiring vendors in the year leading up to the wedding, and then she took over coordination 6 weeks out. This is the time where things start to get stressful (lots of emails coming in, friends and family all have questions, etc), so it was amazing to have Cass on my team, fielding all the incoming emails and knowing the answer to every single vendor question, and jumping in to help coordinate things for our welcome party (which I had originally said I didn’t need help with). Once the big day arrived, Cassandra was AMAZING. She was so on top of everything. We had a bit of a weather scare (looked like thunderstorms might roll in in the afternoon; our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner were all planned to be outside). It seemed like I should be stressed about this, but Cassandra assured me she had a plan A, B, C, and D, and all her staff prepared to do whatever needed to be done at any moment, so I felt shockingly unworried about the whole thing. (It did rain during our first look (the hour leading up to guest arrival), and was raining when guests arrived; she had had her staff bring a bunch of stuff inside, directed the bar staff to serve welcome drinks inside, and thankfully the rain cleared out quickly and they dried off the furniture moved everything back out to the lawn got everything back on track very quickly.) A bunch of our guests had interactions with Cassandra and couldn’t wait to tell me “your planner seems so great, I really like her!” I was nervous going into wedding planning because I had had many friends have frustrating experiences with wedding planners, but my experience could not have been better. It was a true collaboration, a fun time, and we are forever grateful to Cassandra for making it happen.
