We were one of the hesitant couples to get a planner because we had family who were 'willing' to help set up/take down, coordinate, etc for the wedding, but as soon as we booked he...
r we realized there is SO MUCH more that goes into this service. I don't think that I would have survived being a bride without her! I would seriously say that a planner (and Emily specifically) was our most valued vendor and just the most genuine person.
Not only is Emily easy to work with, but she is calm, organized, and extremely on top of things. She advocated for us in every situation and planning meeting, saved us money in our budget, and made our actual wedding day at Tannenbaum Events Center go so seamlessly. At the end of the night our bridal party and family commented multiple times about how well she and her team executed every detail!
We booked her "Wedding Management- Day of Coordination Package" which she customized to fit our needs, and detailed all tasks in the contract for us. But she really went above and beyond in so many ways. She and her team set up our decor so beautifully, managed guests while we did early bridal photos etc, managed all our vendors, and made sure the timeline was detailed, comprehensive, and adhered-to on the day. We had polaroid cameras at the wedding, and at the end of the night found that her team took many of us and guests during the whole event, and were so happy to look through some of the iPhone behind the scenes photos that she took and sent to use the same night.
Grateful does not describe how much love we have for Emily and her team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Hiring Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She was incredible to work with from start to finish and played such a huge role in making our wedding day every...
thing we hoped it would be. She has an amazing knowledge of the industry, is incredibly organized, and gave us so many great vendor recommendations.
Most importantly, Emily is such a warm and caring person. She made us feel completely calm and confident throughout the planning process and, especially, on our wedding day. We knew we were in good hands and could actually relax and enjoy the day.
One of the things I loved most about working with Emily is that she is a problem solver. On our wedding day, there was a fire in Reno that caused a power outage at our venue/hotel, the Palisades Tahoe condos. The outage affected the bar for our after-party, our late-night food, and the timing of our DJ. While we were enjoying our wedding, Emily was working behind the scenes with the venue and our vendors to come up with solutions. She was able to get our time at the venue extended, coordinate getting our late-night food brought over, and work with the DJ to stay later. She made what could have been a major hiccup completely seamless for us. We barely had to think about it!
If you are considering hiring Emily, just do it! She is absolutely the best, and we could not recommend her more highly. We are so grateful to have had her by our side on such an important day!
Emily did such an amazing job on our Lake Tahoe wedding! She took so much off our plate and made the entire planning process feel organized and so much less stressful. Emily was in...
credible at listening to our vision and bringing it to life. Like most weddings, not everything went exactly according to plan on our wedding day. We had some rental issues that were completely out of her control, but Emily handled the situation seamlessly and professionally. We didn’t even know some things had happened until after the wedding! That says so much about how well she did her job because she was able to handle the fires without allowing them to affect our day.
Emily took so much of the stress and decision-making off of my husband and me on our wedding day. We didn’t have to worry about timelines, vendors, setup, or anything that might have gone wrong so we were able to be present and soak in every moment of our wedding.
Emily knows Tahoe, she knows weddings, and she knows how to make things happen. We truly felt like we could trust her completely, and it allowed us to actually enjoy the experience instead of stressing over the logistics. We are so grateful for everything Emily and her assistant Tyler did to make our wedding day so beautiful and memorable.
I highly recommend Emily Taft Events to anyone planning a wedding in Lake Tahoe, Reno, or really anywhere you’re planning a destination wedding! We couldn’t have asked for a better planner and are so thankful she was part of such an important chapter of our lives.
Emily was so amazing through out the entire process and we could not recommend her more. The meetings leading up to the big day were incredibly helpful and the day of having her as...
a point of contact was invaluable!
WOW. Emily is an absolute PRO, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. We honestly can't imagine how we would have pulled off our wedding without her.

ding planning, I had no idea how much work actually goes into making a wedding day run smoothly. There are so many moving pieces behind the scenes, and Emily thought of every little detail. She kept us organized, prepared, and always one step ahead, so when our wedding day came, we were able to just show up, be present, and enjoy every second.
Our day was truly perfect from start to finish. I honestly can't think of a single hiccup. Everything flowed so seamlessly, and I know that's because Emily was working so hard behind the scenes. She made everything look effortless.
On top of that, she's just such a fun, warm person to work with. She has great energy, is incredibly easy to talk to, responds quickly, and is always on top of whatever needs to get done. We always felt like we were in great hands.
I also have to mention that her prices are incredibly reasonable for everything she does. Looking back, she was worth every penny and then some.
Emily, THANK YOU so much for everything. You played such a huge part in making our wedding the best day of our lives, and we'll always be grateful. We couldn't recommend you more!
From the moment we started working with Emily, the stress and worry of wedding planning disappeared. She brought a kind, organized, sunny energy anytime we met with her. She was th...
orough and communicative with us and all our vendors. We had a wonderful, unforgettable day, thanks to Emily!!
To say that Emily knocked it out of the park would be an understatement. Rarely do I ever feel compelled to write reviews for any business or service I have received, but Emily is ...
definitely an exception. From day one, Emily was beyond helpful. Her organization shills, helpful tools, meaningful conversations and positive attitude made what we expected to be a difficult and stressful experience feel calm, in control and easily manageable. Emily also did a fantastic job working with/managing all the different wedding vendors and site staff. With Emily's help, the entire wedding day and planning process was smoother than we could have hoped for. She went above and beyond what we expected of her on numerous occasions, and showed multiple times that with her "get it done" and positive attitude, anything was possible. We are extremely grateful that we found Emily and were able to work with her for our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend her for anyone looking to make things as easy for themselves as possible on their special day!
Emily was the perfect addition to our wedding day. We planned a destination wedding in Tahoe so we didn’t get the chance to visit before our wedding week but she was so knowledgeab...
le about the area and was able to give us suggestions to make the week/weekend perfect. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on the day of, we couldn’t have done it without her.
Emily served as our day of coordinator for our March 2026 wedding and we could not recommend her more! As a DIY bride it was very important to me that our family and friends could ...
enjoy the day without me enlisting them to help with tasks. Emily and her team did everything I could have imagined and more. From multiple planning meetings, to helping us put together timelines, to reaching out to vendors beforehand, and putting out fires on the day of when we didn’t even know fires existed. Our wedding would not have been what it was without her expertise and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re planning a wedding or any event, Emily Taft Events should be your first call!
Emily was an absolute rockstar as our day-of wedding coordinator! Would you have expected SNOW/RAIN/HAIL for a late June Tahoe Wedding??? We weren't! Thank goodness we had Emily to...
help us pivot our plans without panic!
From the first call we had with Emily, I felt completely at ease. She assisted us with communication with our vendors and even attended our rehearsal. She packed up all of my things in her own car to make sure the venue was perfectly set up the next day.
On the wedding day itself, we had every challenge thrown our way—and Emily handled it all with quick thinking and expertise. We delayed the outdoor reception, her team dried off the furniture, set up the tables and thanks to her, we were still able to have the beautiful outdoor reception I had dreamed of, and everything went off seamlessly.
I can’t imagine our wedding day without her. If you want someone who is calm under pressure, incredibly organized, and willing to go above and beyond to make your day perfect, Emily is the one!!! She is AMAZING!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Emily on my engagement party. Planning an event from another country could have been a total nightmare, but she ...
made it completely seamless. Emily just handled everything — from the little quirks that popped up during planning to the inevitable curveballs on the actual day — with such ease and confidence.
Having her and her team there on the day made all the difference. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and was able to actually enjoy myself, which is rare when you’re the host! At one point there was even a minor medical situation with a guest, and Emily took charge so calmly and efficiently that it never turned into a drama — everyone was fine, and most people probably didn’t even realize it happened.
She’s amazing at what she does, and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.
Emily was- hands down- one of the best decisions for planning our wedding! She is incredibly easy to communicate with and plan meetings. We happened to pick a logistically difficul...
t venue, along with 3 different hotels for guests, but Emily really nailed all of the details and coordinating with the other vendors. Her recommendations for vendors were also spot- on. She also gave very practical advice on what to spend money on and what not to worry about- she won't pressure you on costs at all. Where we did want to spend a little more on the wedding she also gave us great advice on what matters and doesn't. matter to guests.
Emily was essential in getting everything squared away with our vendors arrival, tear down, etc. leading up to the big day. On the actual day of the wedding she had her team at each of the shuttle locations, made sure everyone got to the gondola on time, vendors were all set up, etc. etc. Her level of professionalism was second to none- and was especially evident in how flawless she ran the wedding day and worked with the DJ/Emcee. Guests kept telling us all weekend it was the best wedding they've been to - all because of how amazing Emily and her team were!! As the couple, we didn't stress out at all thanks to Emily's hard work. She was so thoughtful about making sure we got to enjoy our day. I can't even express how happy we were that we hired Emily!!
Emily and her team were truly the backbone of our wedding! She handled tough family dynamics beautifully, and she let us (bride and groom) enjoy our day drama free. Emily was profe...

process from our first phone call to the clean up the night of our wedding. We were so grateful she came with us to a venue tour; she and Rusty were asking questions we wouldn't have even thought of. Having her there gave us peace of mind and trust that they would have us taken care of throughout the planning and the day of. She worked closely with our venue coordinator and our other venders to make sure every detail was thought out and discussed. I am very much a type A personality and like to have control over planning things, especially when it comes to something as important as our wedding. I had no problem or hesitation letting go and trusting Emily entirely throughout all of the details and day of. She allowed us both to enjoy the planning of and most importantly, the day of our wedding. She and her team did an amazing job with set up and execution of the timeline and details we spend months planning. I can't recommend Emily Taft Events enough for your wedding or event.

Her organizational and planning skills are truly impressive, ensuring that every detail was carefully thought through and executed perfectly. She worked very closely with our venue coordinator and all of our vendors to make sure nothing was overlooked and everyone knew their roles and responsibilities. But beyond her professionalism, what stood out the most was Emily’s warm and genuine personality. She is such a great person and she made the entire experience so much fun and most importantly stress free .
