I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kate at Jasmine & Co. I was feeling a little overwhelmed going into my wedding day especially since I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted for my hair. But Kate was so calming and professional and I think one of the favorite parts of the day was getting my hair and makeup done! She nailed the makeup look I had in mind, I showed her a few inspiration photos and somehow she brought it all together in a way that looked even better than I imagined and the makeup held up perfectly all day. What impressed me even more was how she styled my shoulder-length hair. I didn’t have a solid reference photo to work from, but Kate worked her magic and created the most beautiful soft, romantic style that felt so me. I got so many compliments and I have been even trying to replicate what she did so I could have something like my 'wedding hair' at other events. She also did makeup for a few of my family members, and they all loved their looks too. Everyone looked polished and radiant, but still totally like themselves. I was really overwhelmed with the options for hair and makeup but I'm so so so glad I went with Jasmine's company.

Working with Ali was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We did full planning with her, and from day one she made the entire process feel easier, more organized, and honestly way more fun. Ali is incredibly kind, caring, and just so easy to get along with. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel manageable. Her attention to detail is amazing, especially when it comes to design and timeline. As someone who does not naturally have a strong eye for design or a super type A personality, I relied on her a lot, and she totally delivered. She took our ideas and turned them into something beautiful and cohesive, all while helping us make decisions in a way that felt clear and not stressful. She also took so much off our plate, especially with vendor communication. We were so incredibly with the team of vendors we worked with and it all came from Ali's recommendations and incredible knowledge of the NorCal wedding industry. What really stood out was how much she listened to us. She took the time to understand what actually mattered to us, from budget to priorities for the day, and built everything around that. It all felt very “us,” which we appreciated so much. And on the wedding day, she absolutely crushed it. I did not have to worry about a single thing. If anything came up, she handled it so smoothly that we never even knew. We were able to just be present and enjoy the day. Ali is truly the best, and working with her was beyond worth it. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!!

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.

The Winchester Estate by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew it was the perfect place for our fairytale wedding. The ivy-covered walls, romantic ambiance, and stunning grounds made us feel like we were living inside a storybook. Every detail was beyond what we imagined. Taylor, our coordinator, was incredible from the very start. She kept in constant contact, answered every question, and somehow managed to think of things we didn’t even know we needed. She made us feel so heard and cared for every step of the way, and she even ensured that allergies and personal preferences were handled thoughtfully and seamlessly. When Ben took over on the day of the wedding, everything flowed effortlessly. He kept the timeline running smoothly while making sure we could just enjoy the moment. And then there was Drew — our amazing DJ — who truly brought the party to life. He made our music feel personal, got everyone dancing, and even joined in on the fun himself! He somehow managed to keep the little ones entertained (and contained!) when their lightsaber battle got a bit too enthusiastic — a true hero of the night! The entire staff went above and beyond, dancing along with us, smiling, and adding to the energy of the celebration. It never felt like they were just working an event — they were part of it. Their joy matched ours, and that made the night even more unforgettable. Our wedding at Winchester Estate was everything we dreamed of and more. It was magical, effortless, and filled with love and laughter. We’ll cherish it forever!

Every bride has her own version of “glam,” and I love bringing that vision to life in a way that feels effortless and true to you. Whether it’s your big day or a special event, I’m here to help you feel confident, radiant, and ready for every unforgettable moment. 🤍

Luxe Esthetics by Maddie was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day makeup. Maddie was super communicative and easy to talk to throughout the entire process, which put me at ease. She took her time with each of us - the bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and myself - and used high quality makeup products that were customized to our individual skin tones and makeup styles. Very clean too! Maddie was punctual on the wedding day, did amazing work with my bridal trial so I knew she understood my vision, and even stayed later on the big day to do some last minute touch-ups. The makeup never feels heavy, yet it lasts all day long. Her rates were also very reasonable for the exceptional service she provided. I highly recommend Luxe Esthetics by Maddie to any bride looking for a talented, professional, and personable makeup artist for their special day. I can't get enough of her- she's done my makeup for my bridal shower, lash extensions for my bachelorette trip, makeup for the wedding crew, makeup for my maternity photos, and makeup for my baby shower ... Needless to say, SHE'S THE BEST and I've found my makeup goddess for life. Thank you so much Maddie :)

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!

10 Stars across the board for Judi and To Have & To Hold Wedding Planning!!!!! Our wedding at Orchard Creek Lodge on August 16, 2025, was absolutely perfect — and we owe so much of that to Judi and the incredible team at To Have and To Hold Wedding Planning. From the very beginning, Judi was a dream to work with. She was endlessly patient, incredibly sweet, and always made us feel like our vision truly mattered. Throughout the entire planning process, Judi guided us with such grace and calm, even when we were overwhelmed with decisions. Her eye for detail is unmatched — every flower, every table setting, and every timeline detail was flawless. She anticipated things we never would have thought of and made sure the day ran seamlessly from start to finish. One of the highlights of our planning journey was our monthly check-in calls with Judi. My husband and I genuinely looked forward to them every time! She made each meeting fun, organized, and reassuring — turning what could have been a stressful process into something we actually enjoyed. What stood out most was how genuinely caring and kind Judi was. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and stress-free. We truly felt supported every step of the way, and it’s clear that she pours her heart into what she does. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn’t have done it without her. Judi will always hold a special place in our hearts — she is the wedding planner every bride and groom deserves! Thank you, Judi, for making our special day unforgettable! The Fergusons

Nicky Byrnes Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves El Dorado, CA

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nicole isn't just an amazing photographer. She's an ally on the day of the wedding. She's a calming presence reminding you to ENJOY one of the biggest moments of your life. And she gets everything you want (and more) naturally, and in the style that represents who you are as a couple. We had to do a COVID wedding, and Nicole handled it so flawlessly that we wouldn't think of working with anyone else once we finally get to throw a larger party. SHE'S INCREDIBLE! You'll love your photographs AND your wedding day.

With the stress of planning a wedding and pressure of making sure everything is perfect I can guarantee that with The Wild Olive it will take a major weight off your shoulders. By the time I got to the floral part of planning I was overwhelmed and quite frankly kind of over it, I gave them color scheme and a few inspo photos and with that she made all my floral dreams come true. If I could rate higher then 5 stars I would!!

Awarded Best of Zola
These ladies absolutely crushed bartending our wedding and our guests were raving about how good the drinks were all night long! I am pregnant so couldn't even drink the alcoholic options but they made a delicious "mocktail" option as the signature and went so far to bring me a NA bottle of wine to drink as well. Super thoughtful, incredible bartenders, ingredients were fresh and their mixers that they recommended for our signature drinks were unmatched. I wish I could buy the mixers at the store to enjoy these cocktails (mocktails) more often! Better than most cocktail bars I've been to (and we live in SF). Don't hesitate - book them now!!
