Mountain Thyme Events

hoe. Many planners in the area price by percentage of wedding cost, which we fundamentally disagree with because we think it immediately breeds distrust and misaligned incentives. Alternatively, Nikki has a flat fee price that is more than fair. We also loved her laid back vibe. From start to finish, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Wedding planning was quite challenging for us due to our work schedules. However, Nikki kept us on target and prioritized by most pressing tasks so that we weren’t overwhelmed. During wedding weekend, she really turned it on and fiercely ensured that everything went smoothly. If there were issues, we surely weren’t aware of them because she handled things in the background so that we could have a carefree experience. My mother-in-law also planned a pretty elaborate rehearsal dinner/welcome party and Nikki was extremely helpful in coordinating with her as well. I’m sure we flooded her home with all the packages and supplies that we sent her, but she was always gracious about it and didn’t make it seem like it was a hassle at all. We had no idea how intimately you work with your planner and how much of a difference they can make during the big weekend. We will forever be grateful that we chose Nikki. Her answer to any of our asks was always “Yes, absolutely!” or that she would find a way to make it work for us. Not only is she extremely professional, but she’s also just a cool and kind person that we enjoyed spending time with. We truly recommend her to anyone and everyone.

of the best decisions we made for our big day. Leading up to the date, she was sure to keep us on track to make sure any deadlines were met and that we didn't get behind in our timeline. She was always very kind while also making sure that everything that needed to be done...got done! Nikki is very well connected and everyone enjoys working with her. She recommended some wonderful vendors, many of whom we wound up hiring for our wedding. She made communication between us, vendors, and venue much easier, and she took a ton of stress off of our plate. On the day of our wedding, everything ran seamlessly due to her experience and her hard work. She even went the extra mile to make sure that all of the little details we wanted to incorporate were present, and things were the way we wanted! She really helped bring our vision to life. She was an important part in making our wedding day magical. We cannot recommend her enough :) Thank you, Nikki! xo, Olivia & Phil <3

to know us and our vision for our wedding, asking questions, and truly curious to know more. She was great at communication and I couldn’t wait to meet her in person (since we are not locals). Nikki is a dream! Helpful and a true joy to be a part of our special day! Thank you Nikki!! Forever grateful for your part!

rwise (potentially) stressful event. She reassured, took the reigns so we could all enjoy the big day! Very much appreciated her direction throughout the day and taking charge of handling set up and communicating with other vendors. At the end of the night, she ensured any personal items were safely returned, coordinated with caterer to see that the venue was left clean and even went the extra step to package a couple of dinners for the bride & groom (in case they hadn’t had a chance to enjoy their meals! 😉). Nikki was great - thank you!!

end. Nikki is an excellent communicator and was well organized, every step of the way. She has an amazing eye for detail and we really appreciated the way she'd offer well thought through advice. From everything big to small Nikki was there and continually eased all stress. As a Truckee/Tahoe native, she provided invaluable recommendations which made our wedding day incredibly special. We truly could not have done it without her and know that any couple who works with her is in the very best hands. If you're able to use Mountain Thyme Events (Nikki), it will be the best wedding related decision you could make.

the type of person we would want with us on the day of our wedding. She was professional from day one, always keeping the line of communication open, sending us ideas and vision boards based off of our likes, asking about family dynamics so she could plan the perfect, drama free day for us, etc.. Not only is her taste in decor and ability to pull visions together impeccable, but she also connected us with some of, what we believe to be, the best vendors in all of Tahoe. Each vendor was overjoyed to work with her again which just shows how well revered she is in the wedding industry in Tahoe. We trusted her to plan everything on our day without a hitch and she took care of everything as we had hoped. Even when minor things came up like a guest bringing along an unexpected partner, she handled it seamlessly, never forcing us to break out of the bubble of our day. Most importantly, her calm energy (while still getting everything done) was exactly what we needed to help keep us all calm and happy on the day of the wedding. By the end of the day, she felt like a treasured guest we would want at our special day and had made connections with many of our family members and guests. We cannot recommend Nikki enough to work with you to make your special day the one from your dreams!

for every little detail. We had no stress as we were confident that Nikki would take care of everything. She did and always went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. Our wedding was stunning and magical thanks to Nikki and we are forever grateful that we and our family and friends will have such wonderful memories of our special day.

et go. Coming from being a planner myself… it was something I did not know would be possible. We didn't have to worry about a thing because we knew she had it all under control. Her calm and reassuring presence, especially on the day of the wedding, was invaluable. She made us feel at ease and ensured that everything ran smoothly, leaving us with nothing but beautiful memories of our special day. She was so attentive and always responsive, you will never regret having her on your side. Once again, thank you Nikki for being an integral part of our journey and for making our wedding a dream come true.

delines and timelines along the journey of wedding planning while staying conscious and respectful of your budget and vision. Her energetic spirit and kindness helped planning our wedding be a fun, creative experience instead of stressful or nerve-racking. She stayed on top of details and handled all the logistics of our Tahoe Wedding so that everything moved smoothly and we could be fully present during our wedding weekend. Nikki has a wealth of knowledge and connections in the Lake Tahoe (and surrounding areas) wedding industry, helping us find and secure amazing vendors. On top of everything, she is a blast to hang out with and has amazing taste in wine :) She was everything we were hoping for and more, and we would 10/10 recommend choosing Mountain Thyme Events!

utiful and magical day for us! She is with you all the way until the end. Nikki is on top of it with clear communication and being available as much as possible. My hubby and I felt that we easily clicked with her and she always made next steps easy and simple. I will look to utilize Mountain Thyme Events for any other events we have near the Truckee area. :)

s on track. Nikki has a great design eye and it was extremely helpful that she has worked with many (if not all) of the vendors in the Tahoe area -- and they all love her! Nikki was a LARGE part of making our day as successful as it was. She thought of things I forgot, she kept our timeline on track and she made sure every guest felt appreciated and honored. Nikki's expertise in the small things is what I remember most. She has been in the industry for years and knows what works and what doesn't. She is decisive and the best partner in planning. She doesn't miss!! We highly recommend any bride and groom -- or anyone having an event -- to hire Nikki. She is just totally stellar.

moothly from our first meeting, to the rehersal, all the way to the day after the wedding. It was so valuable to have someone so knowledgable about all things Tahoe to guide us with vendors, set up, timelines, and all the little details. She set up our wedding so beautifully and then had everything packed up and organized at the end of the night which allowed us to enjoy ourselves and relax the day after which was so valuable. She was organized, thoughtful, calm, and, above all, kind. She made us so excited and special, while also taking any and all stresses away. I can absolutely say that having her with us made our day the best it could possible be. We felt very lucky to have her with us and would tell every couple that hiring her is best decision they could make when planning a wedding.

knows the Tahoe area inside and out, from vendors to venues. Our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as great without Nikki. We highly recommend her!!

ur original plans. Nikki did a great job with this switch up. She was easy to communicate with throughout. We'd definitely recommend Nikki for anyone looking to have their wedding in the Tahoe area!

kept me on it. She went above and beyond to lock in key vendors and took over all communication with said vendors. She found me great vendors who's style was everything I could want and more! She took all the stress out of planning a wedding. She is an effective communicator, and is responsive, creative, and she really listens. I interviewed many wedding planners and am SO glad we chose Nikki. Some just could not understand my vision and she nailed it. After a Zoom meeting she followed up with a venue she thought embodied everything I wanted. (I was post-partum and being e-mailed by lots of wedding planners and missed the message). A few weeks later I was looking at venues and found the perfect one on my own. To my surprise I had an e-mail detailing this site already in my inbox. That's when I hired Nikki. It was the same one she recommended from the start. I also appreciated her payment structures. She has a flat fee and is not incentivised to spend your money. She also stepped in to save us money wherever she could. She helped with stationary, she built a princess wagon for our daughter to go down the aisle. She stepped in wherever she was needed and did so with a great attitude. Have a happy wedding with someone who will ensure they do everything in their power to make your dreams a reality- choose Nikki!

our wants and then translated those over to a beautifully executed event. She handled so many details both on my radar and off and kept a low-key, low-stress demeanor throughout it all. She has great vendor connections and had already worked with most of the vendors we picked out which helped the event come together. On the day of the wedding she was in the thick of it handling questions, keeping things going and on track so that my day was completely stress-free and I could enjoy the party.

he was perfect at every turn. She handled everything with professionalism and I felt she truly had our wants and needs in mind and somehow made our wedding even better than I dreamed of!! She was the number one reason our wedding day ran as smoothly and was as magical as it was. Nikki we love you!! And are forever grateful for everything you have done for us. Thank you for going above and beyond, the best decision I made for our wedding was having you on our team! Love you Nikki!!

(not all matching) that I gathered from random places and she arranged them on our wedding day in such an amazing way that it looked fancy and festive ! I was absolutely blown away by what she came up with! Nikki is also kind and so professional; she was prompt with responses and on time for meetings and more. I would 100% work with her again and recommend her services to anyone wanting to get married in the Tahoe area (but she travels too!).

o) … Communication: Nikki is a highly effective and efficient communicator! The way she listened and asked questions to better understand our big picture was amazing. And it was not limited to planning the event - Nikki assumed a supportive role for us in moments of stress or uncertainty and exceeded our expectations in every way! Creativity: Nikki brought our vision to life in every single detail and way – we wanted a disco theme incorporated somehow and for our sweet dog Moe to be highlighted. She took these ideas and integrated them tastefully and beautifully into each aspect of our event! Specialization: With Nikki’s long history in high-end event planning and production, she brought a knowledge and thoroughness to the event design that brought sophisticated and understated elegance to our wedding. Her knowledge of the available options locally, and how she presented them, made it so easy to make decisions confidently. Guidance and Coordination: Nikki took a directive role and was able to skillfully and tactfully keep the flow of events easy, and our preferences honored. During our ceremony rehearsal, she made sure to set the tone of the event with intention and gratitude, and clearly outlined our desired outcomes with our families in a group huddle – something we had never expected but it made us feel so understood as a couple and our families felt clearly communicated with! Soul and Style: Nikki has a calm, kind, and hilarious demeanor. She made us feel comfortable every step of the way and brought a levity to planning that made it fun. She made initially daunting tasks feel achievable by making them enjoyable. We always looked forward to our meetings with her, and truly loved being in her company. These elements were present alongside a million others. She helped us created the best day of our lives - we’d absolutely recommend working with Nikki!

. All of her recommended contacts were professional and easy to work with. Booking a wedding with all of the challenges of the pandemic is stressful but Nikki’s flexibility and calm demeanor had us at ease the whole time. Definitely would recommend her!

gs for us! I wish I could take credit for finding her, but I owe my mom a huge thank you because Nikki is the best! If you want someone who listens, is organized, and is great at their job, CHOOSE NIKKI!

t pan out, she continued to stay in touch and provide recommendations throughout my wedding planning process. Once we did end up finding a venue, I immediately thought of Nikki and am so glad that I chose her as my day-of-coordinator! Nikki was prompt, responsive, helpful, and did everything we needed with a smile on her face. We had a massive DIY wedding with a TON of homemade florals and decor and Nikki handled all of our items with care and made sure everything was setup as I wanted. Even though our venue came with a coordinator, we couldn't have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without her! Nikki also has great vendor relationships in the Tahoe/Truckee area so when our wedding was cancelled for a week due to the Caldor fire, Nikki came to our rescue with backup recommendations. She provided all of the support that I needed to have my dream wedding and even boxed everything back the day after for easy cleanup. 5 stars all around!

so at ease the entire day. Never once was I bothered with a problem or question, as she took the reigns and knew exactly how to make everything special. She was able to give us tips on how to keep our wedding elegant without spending too much money, which was helpful on our budget. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. Mountain Thyme Events will definitely be there for our future events. We love Nikki and highly recommend her!

no way we could’ve done it without her. We found Nikki on Instagram and reached out in a panic when it became clear our original wedding wouldn’t be able to happen because of COVID. We were about 3 months out from the date, and Nikki was so calm and prepared that we were instantly at ease. In those 3 months, Nikki and I communicated more than my original planner and I had in over a year. We were constantly on the phone, emailing, and texting as things came up or she had other vendor suggestions for us. She helped us find catering, our musician, the ceremony site (and another one two days before the wedding when that one closed), and helped set up our lodging before the guests arrived. She was our rock, and truly went above and beyond to make our wedding an incredible experience. She went grocery shopping to make sure the house was stocked with food, set up floral arrangements throughout the house, served a seated dinner during the reception, and broke everything down so we truly didn’t worry about a thing. I know every bride says this about her planner, but I cannot emphasize enough how absolutely incredible it was to work with Nikki. We had so much go wrong with our wedding because of COVID and the fires in California, but the day ended up being even more perfect than we originally planned and it was entirely because of Nikki. She is the best of the best and I really cannot recommend her enough.

h many twists and turns but Nikki’s flexibility allowed us to have our dream Day despite many changes, some last minute. We give her our highest recommendation! Book her now, you won’t regret it!
