Stephanie Marie & Co.

Stephanie is an exceptional wedding planner who turned our wedding at White Wolf into a perfect day. Her hard work and dedication were evident in every detail, and her ability to get things done efficiently made the entire process stress-free. Stephanie's amazing organizational skills and creative vision ensured that our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to have an amazing wedding experience. If you have the chance to work with her, do it.

Stephanie was highly recommended by a friend, and she exceeded our high expectations. Stephanie was excellent at all aspects of the planning process due to her organizational skills, knowledge of venues and vendors, and passion to make the day perfect for her clients. One of Stephanie's key skills is planning for and keeping everything on schedule on the wedding day. Because Stephanie was so organized and on top of things, our family and the groom's family were able to completely enjoy the magical day and know that every detail was being taken care of by Stephanie and her team. I highly recommend Stephanie Marie & Co!

Stephanie Marie Co is amazing to work with throughout all wedding planning. Stephanie goes the extra mile to make sure she knows everything the bride and groom want to make their day special. We loved working with her and can't say enough about all her wonderful wedding planning skills! She is a wealth of knowledge on all things wedding and we truly appreciated everything she had to offer on making a Tahoe wedding so special.

Stephanie was absolutely incredible to work with and made all of my wedding dreams come true. She was incredibly organized, creative, thoughtful and positive. Our entire wedding weekend from our Friday Welcome party, to hiking, golf, our wedding, and our post wedding Brunch were perfect thanks to her and her amazing team. She was so detail oriented and thorough, I did not have to worry about anything. Now that the wedding is over, I honestly miss talking with her on a weekly basis :) I cannot recommend Stephanie enough!!

In short, we would not have even gotten to our wedding without Stephanie. Stephanie has been fantastic throughout the entire process. We didn't really know what to expect with weddings and didn't have a clear vision. She helped us organize our thoughts and lay out a plan. She understood the way we worked and fit the wedding planning "plan" to our style. She has numerous connections throughout the Tahoe area and leveraged them to make vendor/venue selection streamlined and simple. Stephanie has a very clear understanding of the ins and outs of the wedding industry to make sure that you don't fall into any traps or pitfalls and get the most out of your vendors. Time and time again, she want above and beyond to make sure that everything would go perfect either through late night/early morning calls, personal visits to vendors, or even making several multiple hour drives to support with appointments. On wedding day, we didn't have to do anything but focus on the day and the moment and I couldn't ask for anything more (the wedding was freaking fantastic by the way). We cannot recommend Stephanie enough. If you choose her you will not just guarantee a perfect wedding but also a great life free of too much stress for the months or years ahead of the big day.

Stephanie helped plan a pretty complicated wedding for my husband and I in about 2 months time. We had to shuttle guests from our reception parking area to our ceremony site (a private community with no parking), and back. She connected us with high-quality vendors who matched our personalities and vision for the wedding. She really listened to what we wanted, added her professional input, and made it happen! Stephanie is extremely professional, personable, and organized. I would recommend her to anyone. Many of our guests said that our wedding was the best wedding they've ever been to, and it would not have been the same without her hard work.

Stephanie was truly incredible to work with! We had some friends recommend her after using her for their wedding and we are truly so grateful for that rec! She knocks the socks off of all other planners—was in a friend’s wedding shortly before with a different planner and Stephanie was MILES above! We got to spend almost two full years working with her from when we first started planning, and she was such a value add immediately. We had started looking at venues before hiring a planner, and were about to sign for a different one, and on our first call she asked if she could give us some alternate options, and we ended up with the most incredible venue that exactly fit our vibe instead of our original choice which would have worked, but definitely limited us in achieving exactly what we wanted for our wedding. As a bonus—the venues she recommended for us were less traditional “all inclusive” venues which actually worked so much better for our fusion wedding. Stephanie came through with some amazing vendor recommendations and was super helpful in comparing pricing and reviewing contracts, as well as being flexible with our budget and providing options at different levels so we felt comfortable with cost. It was so handy to have a planner who actually lives in the region as she had the best recommendations and truly knew the area well. Calls with Stephanie were literally a blast and I think we almost always went over our schedule time because she was so much fun to talk to :) Stephanie absolutely killed it with the event and the weekend of itself—we did multiple days of events for our Indian fusion wedding, and she seriously made it all happen and took care of the last minute details so my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the events and not worry about set up/clean up/dealing with vendors/or any last minutes snafus. She and her assistants blew it out of the water and were so flexible with our non-traditional ceremony + asks. The amount of stress she managed to keep away from us was nothing short of miraculous and it made for the most magical weekend!

Stephanie is AMAZING! Detailed orientated, calm, and super easy to work with. She made everything come together for us just like we envisioned. I am so thankful we hired her!

Stephanie and her team were incredible! From the start, Stephanie was professional, organized, detail-oriented, and fun! She helped us work through tough questions and kept a light-hearted vibe even at times of high stress. Our wedding was magical and all of our guests commented on how perfect everything flowed and were impressed by the well put together details of the evening. Thank you Stephanie!

I was the officiant and cousin of a wedding Stepahnie and her team produced in Tahoe in September. Having officiated many weddings, thrown my own wedding, and attended many more I can't speak higher of the services Stephanie and her team provided. They were organized, helpful, empathetic, and flexible before, during, and after the wedding. She also was amazing at taking on any issues to create a safe and fun space for the bride and groom and wedding party.

I was on the fence about hiring a full service planner… until we met Stephanie. From day one, she was excited about making our somewhat unconventional destination-wedding-meets-elopement-on-steroids come to life. She’s kind, straightforward and easy-going, and didn’t have a template or her own agenda. For the entire year and a half we worked with her it was clear she had our vision and budget goals in mind with every suggestion she made. Her expertise and relationships with amazing vendors and venues 1000% helped make our weekend so unique and even better than we possibly imagined, AND kept us under budget. All of our guests are still raving about what a fun wedding it was and it couldn’t have happened without Stephanie!

Stephanie is the most incredible wedding planner in the Tahoe area! She made sure that I had the wedding of my dreams and it turned out even better than the wedding I had dreamed of. She made sure every little small request was captured and executed without any mistakes and allowed the wedding planning process to be fun and exciting! She has the sweetest personality and instantly became a close friend. I honestly can’t imagine what my wedding would have been like without her. I can’t recommend her enough to everyone who is newly engaged and wanting an absolutely gorgeous wedding day. She will go above and beyond your expectations to make sure that your big day is flawless!

Stephanie helped plan and bring my best friend’s wedding to life, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. She is such a wonderful person, pays careful attention to detail, and takes the time to get to know EVERYONE involved. She is a true rockstar, and made the wedding run beautifully. I am already happily married, but I cannot recommend her more for anyone looking for someone great!!

Can't recommend Stephanie enough!!! Stephanie made our wedding planning a stress-free, fun and engaging process and we couldn't have been more grateful for her time and hard work. Not only was she CRITICAL weekend-of, making many Reno-Tahoe trips on our behalf collecting and returning rental items, running errands, tracking every little item that was wedding related, keeping us fed, calmly managing anything that came up without adding any stress to our day, and SO much more... but she also became a friend over the process- one whose opinion we trusted and one we knew we could always count on who always had our best interest in mind. Stephanie emphasizes along the process that it's our day and provided us with all the information we could need along the way, while encouraging us to make the informed decisions so that we could look around on our wedding day and feel like the day still reflected OUR vision- and it was exactly that and more. Though I could go on about how communicative and on-top of it Stephanie is (and this is coming from someone who is fairly type-A myself), I think I was most impressed with all of the comments we got from other vendors, frequently exclaiming how Stephanie is the best in the business, how much more organized and ahead of schedule she is than other planners, and how easy she made the process for them. When these other vendors, who you know are working with dozens and dozens of couples/ planners a year are overly impressed with your planner, you know you picked a good one. Not to mention, every friend/ family member coming up to us over the weekend complimenting how calm, collected and organized she was weekend-of and how lucky we are to have found such a great planner... we couldn't agree more! We couldn't have done it without Stephanie and are SO grateful. Our wedding was more than we could have ever ever dreamt, and truly none of it would have been possible without Stephanie's calming presence, her knowledge of the wedding industry (and the deep specificities of Tahoe/ NorCal industry) and her hard-work ethic.

Stephanie = smart, intelligent, detail-oriented and FUN. Our wedding day savior. If you are wondering if you need Stephanie Marie and Co. a part of your wedding team, read this. My fiancé and I paid for our wedding, so we were very intentional about where and how much money we allocated to each vendor. I am very detail-oriented, and I plan large gatherings and events for work. I was questioning if I even needed a planner or day-of coordinator for our wedding. Hiring Stephanie Marie & Co. was the best decision we made in choosing our vendors. This review would be too long for anyone to read if I listed all of the ways she saved our wedding day and served us well during our planning process. Stephanie is incredibly smart, professional, organized, and resourceful. I can not give enough praise to the level of skill she brings to wedding coordinating and planning. Stephanie seamlessly bridged the gaps between all of my wedding vendors, made our wedding vision come to life in a way I didn’t think was possible, and was truly my wedding day savior. Our wedding reception cocktail hour and part of our reception seating was outdoor. The day before the wedding, the weather forecast changed to forecast rain. I didn’t have any tentage reserved, which starts at $4,000+ to reserve through a vendor. Stephanie went and bought tents to cover the outdoor space and outdoor reception seating. It rained on our wedding day. Stephanie identified, resourced, and solved a problem that would have cost me over double the cost of her planning package, and I didn’t even know it was a problem until Stephanie has already fixed it. Stephanie was an absolutely pleasure to plan with, helped me think of details that would have been big issues on the wedding day had we not had a plan. She was the glue that kept everything together, and, coming from a person who is a type A planner, she was essential for keeping my wedding day smooth, From the day I met her to weeks after the wedding, Stephanie was my right-hand lady, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. If you are wondering who you should hire, this is your sign to hire Stephanie. I promise that the money you pay to her in planning services, you will save 10x fold in her discounts, recommendations, and last-minute emergencies that without her would have been expensive; she will have already solved the problem before it become an expensive one. Have I mentioned she is just a delight to have around?! You know this if you have already talked to her, but I looked forward to all our planning calls and meetings, and, from the moment we met to our wedding day reception in the women’s restroom together while she sewed my dress strapped that broke during photos, she truly became a friend that I trust completely and I believe she deeply cares for John and I. She did everything possible to make our wedding day absolutely perfect, and she succeeded. If you are still reading and on the fence about hiring Stephanie, I would love to share my experience with her and tell more examples of how she saved our wedding day. She was the best decision we made for our wedding team, and I’d love to chat with you about why. Stephanie has my cell number, and please ask her to pass it along to you. A note for any Tahoe City / Tahoe brides: Stephanie is your gal. She is incredibly well-respected in the community and can make magic happen at a moment’s notice.

We were thrilled with Stephanie’s work as our wedding planner. She went above and beyond our expectations -- working long hours to deal with last minute venue changes, coordinating all of our vendors, and saving us thousands of dollars through her negotiating expertise -- we recommend Stephanie to anyone who is looking to de-stress their wedding planning process. She is a pro at what she does, and she is also super fun to work with. Stephanie made the process of selecting and booking vendors fun and easy -- she has a gift for identifying a vision and implementing it. Through her prior work with countless vendors, Stephanie offered great insight into what to look for. Whether through vision calls, questionnaires or Pinterest “homework”, Stephanie gave us tools to develop our vision for each vendor and for the wedding day itself. Furthermore, her negotiating skills during the vendor and venue booking process saved us more than her planning fee cost. Our wedding had major changes due to COVID, and Stephanie was always one step ahead in terms of planning and management. Our original venue canceled on us just a few months before our date, which was locked in stone due to work pressures. But Stephanie laid out a plan for finding a new location and spent extra time touring our new options in person. She managed all our vendors and arranged for them to relocate to our new venue (three and a half hours away from our original). This was a lot of unexpected work for Stephanie, which she handled incredibly. When unexpected events inevitably come up during the wedding planning process, Stephanie will do what it takes to make sure that everything works. In addition to her talent for logistics, Stephanie provided invaluable advice on interpersonal dynamics. If there are touchy subjects that come up during the planning process, Stephanie is the perfect resource. On a personal note, Stephanie is warmhearted, thoughtful, and a joy to be around. We enjoyed all the time we got to spend with her during the planning process. By the day of our wedding, Stephanie became our friend and confidant. We recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to plan a wedding. You can’t go wrong with her!

Stephanie’s calm & confident demeanor really stood out & helped the whole wedding party remain relaxed as well. She came through with last minute uncertainties with solutions & professionalism. Throughout the entire process, Stephanie was a joy to work with & we could not have done this without her. Our big day was largely possible, & seamless because of her.

Stephanie navigated the most complicated wedding season imaginable (pandemic + wildfires) with absolute poise. We had a mostly-DIY wedding so having Stephanie’s full service was essential. Where you really see Stephanie shine is in her extensive relationships with vendors. Especially with a DIY wedding, your options of vendors are endless. Stephanie knows all the vendors in the greater Tahoe area (and within all of Northern CA it seems) and knows exactly which ones suit your needs. Not only does she know them, but she has a personal relationship with nearly all of them. With Stephanie you have access to things that the general public can’t get. Vendors want to work with Stephanie, which makes finding and planning with vendors so much easier. Stephanie also manages to balance the fine line between sharing her opinion, but not forcing us to go in any one direction. She truly listened to our needs and priorities, and helped us navigate the various options to find what would work best for us. She also shares a wealth of creative ideas from past weddings that she’s worked on, and has insights into what works well and what potential pitfalls to avoid (or plan around). On the weekend of the wedding, Stephanie was magnificent. She was always a calming presence that allowed us to enjoy the weekend to its fullest, and she worked tirelessly behind the scenes the days leading up to and the day-of the event to make our wedding come to life and help it feel like us. We are forever grateful for what Stephanie did to make our wedding so amazing.

I'll start just by saying that Stephanie truly helped us create and have the most special wedding day and our best day ever. We met Stephanie in January of 2020 while planning our Tahoe City wedding, looking to book a day-of wedding coordinator for our August 2020 celebration. I'm definitely a type-A, organized, planning type, and thought I could manage on my own. Fast forward to the pandemic and spring 2020, and I started to feel a little out of my wheelhouse as we started to navigate the "what-ifs" and potential postponement discussion. We made the easy decision to upgrade our package with Stephanie and never looked back! Stephanie helped us not only to navigate a year-long postponement, but also the smoke/air quality conditions that made us have to pivot the day before the ceremony. Even with the changes, we couldn't have asked for a more relaxed, fun wedding day, and that had so much to do with Stephanie's hard work for us. With the postponement and her local knowledge of vendors in the area, we likely ended up saving quite a bit of money with her negotiation skills, which really just increased the value of the service she provided. I'd recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to get married in the area and want to also recognize just how great of a person she is. We really enjoyed getting to know her and how at ease we felt working with her, which ended up being a really long time!

Stephanie is super sweet and has so many great connections to different vendors to make your day perfect. We did her most involved package and it was so worth it, especially since we were planning from out of town. It was a huge stress reliever. She was absolutely amazing on the day of, with all of my concerns and worries, she had a solution for everything, and our wedding day came together better than we could have ever imagined.

Stephanie was an absolute joy to work with over the months leading up to our amazing Lake Tahoe wedding. As Floridians who had never visited the area, we were "flying blind" when we chose our destination venue. Stephanie set up calls with several vendors and provided us invaluable guidance and recommendations, leading us to have a dream team of vendors with great personality fits and an overall epic wedding!! She's also great at smoothing disagreements between bride and MOB and talking me off the ledge when I'd get a little cray...hehe. I recommend her full service package, especially if you're traveling from afar like I did. Truly thankful for Stephanie's incredible service and sad our event is over. But my gut tells me I may have made new friend for life!

This woman is a godsend — detail-oriented, a hard worker, and fun, we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we booked Stephanie, she lifted every wedding burden, no matter how great or small, off our very stressed shoulders. We had been planning a 120-person wedding since last year, and when COVID-19 struck, it became apparent we would have to pivot in a major way. Still hoping for the best, we only started re-planning in earnest two months before the date (shame on us) and nearly everything changed--guest list, venue, caterer, rentals....and with every bump in the road, Stephanie was there, working nights and weekends, emailing us into the wee hours and texting with us on what should have been her days off, because she cares so much. And on days where we felt overwhelmed, she was all too happy to take the reins for a bit and continue working behind the scenes while we rested. (The surprising thing about small weddings is that they are just as much work to plan as a large wedding, even if they come in a smaller package. COVID complicates this many times over, too.) Her work ethic is second to none, and her people skills are incredible. When vendors didn’t communicate quickly enough, Stephanie made sure to follow up, oh-so-politely. When we had trouble booking one caterer, she had three different options for us in her back pocket. Stephanie gently guided us when we needed things like a makeup artist, or signs, or market lighting diagrams, and she was always there to offer her help and expertise when we had questions. When things went wrong (because no matter how hard you work to get it right, there are so many moving pieces that it's inevitable), she handled them, and let us know after the fact when it wouldn’t be as stressful. She is so proactive and organized that we didn’t even know there had been last-minute rolling blackouts on the day of the wedding, until after they were over. It was a dream walking into our venue that day—Steph and I had put so much work into finding the perfect linens, table settings, and decor, and her team absolutely nailed it. She also did a great job helping us brainstorm and execute some creative social distancing and hygiene measures to keep everyone safe--a necessity when you have a 94-year-old grandmother. Not only is she an amazing planner and coordinator, but we have made a friend for life, as Stephanie is vivacious and positive, shares our love of Tahoe and the outdoors, and is so much fun to be around. Thank you, Stephanie, for helping us plan an incredible wedding in two months. We know you put in countless hours and probably lost some sleep, but it was so much sweeter than the pre-pandemic wedding we had thought we would have. Because of you, we had our dream wedding, and we are forever grateful!

I can say without hesitation, Go full service all the way! Yes, Stephanie will come through in ways you couldn’t anticipate on the day of (physically pulling weeds to make paths for guests and rebuilding your centerpieces multiple times after the wind and heat left them in pieces) but where she helped us the most was all the steps along the way. She helped us find vendors who not only fit into our budget, sometimes at the absolute last minute, but were also the perfect fit for our vision. Stephanie also helped us navigate all the struggles of 2020, from Covid restrictions to being evacuated from our home due to fires weeks before the wedding. It felt like Stephanie was right there by our sides through it all and on the day of she and her team went above and beyond to execute what we had been planning with so little required of us the day of. Her team’s preparation with attention to detail allowed us to enjoy getting ready and spending time with our loved ones before the ceremony without having to navigate details of set up and décor. We thoroughly enjoyed what was no doubt the best day of 2020 because of Stephanie’s hard work and dedication to us and our vision from initial consultation to day of execution. Highly recommend her and her full service plan.

To all of you planning a wedding, and especially now amidst a pandemic, I highly recommend booking Stephanie Marie & Co. to help make your wedding journey a success, and one that you will love and cherish forever! I listened to several wedding planning podcasts, and each one heeded the sage advice to just book yourselves a planner! Our friends were working with Stephanie to plan their own wedding and personally recommended her with high praises. We shopped around a bit, and Stephanie was definitely the most responsive, affordable, and she impressed us from the start! We decided to book her for the full planning package because we wanted lots of support, and thank goodness we did! Our personal wedding ideas were all over the place from a tiny Lake Tahoe Elopement to a huge wine country wedding and then back to a small elopement at my family's lavender farm. Stephanie helped us throughout the entire process with tools and questions to narrow down our vision and get to the root of what our actual priorities and dreams were. She helped us create a realistic budget, and of course, kept everything on time, and strategic when working with vendors. She absolutely had our backs by reviewing all vendor contracts with a keen eye for clauses and details that were not in our favor and helped us successfully navigate cancellations with full refunds once we had to change everything due to COVID. She happily made trips down from Tahoe to the Bay Area to help us with site visits, shop rentals, and do wine and food tastings. My family got to meet Stephanie in person during a site visit and they were immediately comfortable working with her and relieved to have her by our side. She was always on time and prepared for each and every phone/in-person meeting, with excellent questions for our prospective vendors, follow up emails, and the next steps for completion. Over about a year's time, we worked closely with Stephanie and had an awesome wedding planned in Sonoma Wine Country with 150 people. Then, COVID happened and she helped us make the tough but smart and responsible decision to completely pivot our plans to a small 24 person elopement wedding on our family's private property. Steph helped us compose a very thoughtful and clear message to our guests about the change and start over from square one, planning a new, socially distanced wedding in only 3 months! When vendors were closed or unresponsive due to COVID, she worked with her trusted network in Lake Tahoe and the SF Bay Area and totally pulled off everything! Plus, on the day of our wedding, she showed up beautiful, composed, calm, organized, and ready to work independently and without asking me a single question on the wedding day. I got to sit back and relax all morning knowing that her team was transforming the property into our dream venue. She made all our visions come to life, and we are so thankful to have worked with her. We strongly recommend that you book Stephanie Marie & Co for your wedding! You will not regret it! Wedding Date: June 21st, 2020 24 person thoughtfully curated and socially distanced Lavender Farm Elopement at a private residence in La Honda, CA.

Stephanie was amazing! She was very attentive to details and also has a great sense about what is important and what just does not warrant much attention. This is so important for keeping everyone on track. She has a great sense of humor, is kind and thoughtful. Her confidence, competence, and experience helped everyone to relax a bit, knowing we were in good hands. It's hard to imagine a better choice.

One in a million!!! Words alone cannot express just how incredible Stephanie is as not only a wedding planner, but also an all around gem of a human being. Over the past year, we have been planning (remotely from San Diego) a backyard wedding at my parent’s cabin just outside of South Lake Tahoe. Stephanie went above and beyond in helping us put together a magical day. To begin with, Stephanie came over to the space whenever we or my parent’s were in town in order to inspect the space and ensure everything would fit according to plan. Her endless ideas and adaptability were spot on. In the few months leading up to the wedding, we had so many little details to deal with but she was constantly keeping us up to date on what needed to be done and what could wait, taking care of problems behind the scenes, and taking charge when I got overwhelmed with decision fatigue. In the weeks leading up to the day and day of, Stephanie not only kept her cool under pressure (rushing over to quickly attend to a bee sting without making a scene) but also kept everyone around her sane (calming my parent’s nerves when they were hosting a 100+ people wedding of their only daughter at their house). I could go on and on and on about her amazing talents, skills, organization, support, creativity, wisdom, and emotional intelligence, but that’s all second to her passion in being your best friend throughout this crazy wedding planning process. She really is one in a million. I would choose her a thousand times over. xxx

Stephanie was absolutely wonderful to work with - she is upbeat, thoughtful, proactive, organized, and overall just a really sweet person! She is a true professional and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect! She stepped into our planning process seamlessly, and even came in a bit earlier than she normally would in order to help us with some tricky vendor transitions - ensuring that we were able to get the price that we had initially promised even though it was a verbal agreement from the vendor. She helped us document and update our contracts, truly saving us from what could have been a financial nightmare. Throughout the process, Stephanie was very responsive and always anticipated what was needed. She helped me take my ideas to the next level and executed them perfectly! She was super accommodating and always willing to help in any way she could (ie: letting me ship things to her, checking out venues when I couldn't make it to Tahoe, offering to handle the guest gift bags, etc). Even after the big day, she helped us review some of our final bills and give us advice on how to handle certain scenarios where were overcharged. Stephanie is incredibly organized and detail-oriented. She really good at both seeing the holistic vision of the couple and she very involved in the details to make everything come to life. The couple weeks leading up to the wedding, I was very confident and at ease that everything was under control and thoroughly thought through - allowing me to really enjoy the weekend knowing everything was being handled from start to finish. The whole weekend was absolutely amazing and we could not have done it without her! Thank you, Stephanie, we are so grateful we had you on our team!

Stephanie is my QUEEN! It is honestly hard to put in words my experience working with her as my planner, but I will do my best, as I want others to know how amazing she is. I connected with Stephanie about nine months out and decided to go with her full service planning package. Her guidance and expertise were completely invaluable to us during the process of planning our wedding. My now husband and I are both very organized and on top of things, but Stephanie helped us to elevate our wedding from what would have been a great wedding, to what was our picture perfect dream wedding, and all within our budget. The things I appreciate most about Stephanie are her general approach to her work and approach with her couples and their families, her professionalism and effectiveness in working with other vendors (and for us, particularly our venue), her mindfulness when it comes to supporting a couple’s vision/helping them develop a vision and making savvy decisions when it comes to budget, and simply put, her flawless execution. Around the time we contracted with Stephanie, we ran into an issue with our venue, wherein the initial amount we were quoted for our wedding was off by about $6,000. The venue coordinator who made the error was no longer with the site, and the situation could have easily been a huge headache or big financial loss for us. Stephanie navigated the situation and managed to help us gain back the majority of the difference in value from the venue. The venue made many concessions that I am sure they would not have had they just been communicating with us, and that was all Stephanie. Stephanie helped us find and contract with a team of vendors that were absolutely fantastic. We got an incredible value for the service cost with all of our vendors, including the spot she helped us find to host our welcome dinner. It is clear that Stephanie has great relationships with vendors, and we saw many benefits (e.g., willingness to work below normal minimum, inventory that would normally be at a cost included for free (including from her own inventory), flexibility in execution of things, etc.) as a result of the genuine relationships she has. We could not have been more thrilled with the overall aesthetic and feel of our day. I think the best thing about my experience with Stephanie, is that working with her really allowed me to be 100% present for and completely enjoy my wedding day. I felt so comfortable with her and her navigation of things, that I knew I had nothing to worry about and that, if anything came up, she would handle it. We had a concern about rain during our outdoor reception, and Stephanie managed to work with the venue to get them to set up an alternative indoor location just in case, free of charge (totally not normal). When it did start to rain during our reception (but not to the point that we had to move everything inside), Stephanie was saving cupcakes with umbrellas, on her hands and knees drying off our dance floor, etc. etc.. She saved me from so much stress and anxiety, and her relaxed and bright personality really actually enhanced my experience day-of. I could not have better things to say about Stephanie. My family and friends also could not have better things to say about Stephanie. She is easy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable, works within your vision and budget, executes flawlessly, and is just generally a great person. She made the dream wedding I didn’t even know was possible happen.

Stephanie was wonderful! Our wedding day ran nearly flawlessly, and I can guarantee that is in large part due to Stephanie's behind-the-scenes work. She kept everything running on time, always appeared when you needed something, and helped out for any need. The morning of the wedding we realized we'd accidentally given her the champagne flutes we were going to use for getting ready when we gave her the rest of the wedding decor the night before, and she happily offered to run them over to the hotel for us, which saved us the stress of a last minute errand. Definitely recommend her!

Stephanie made our wedding run flawlessly. There is no doubt in my mind that our wedding would not have been such a success without her. I was blown away by the amount of support and communication that we had even though she was technically only a "day of" coordinator. When we had issues with our original DJ she stepped in and found us a replacement (amazing DJ btw) within 5 days of our wedding. She even brought decorations and greenery from her home for us. If you have the chance to work with stephanie, I highly recommend that you do not pass it up.

Stephanie is truely the best! She is so organized and on top of everything. She thinks of all the small things you forget as a bride. Our wedding was effortless and perfect and most all that is because of Stephanie. Everyone loved her and you can tell she loves what she does. She just wants to be a part of your day and make it exactly what you want. She goes above and beyond.

When we set out to plan our wedding my wife and I had a rule for all our vendors. If we couldn’t see ourselves as friends with our vendors then we didn’t want to work with them. Stephanie passed this test. After a few conversations with us Stephanie had a pretty good sense of who we were and what we wanted on our big day. Stephanie was passionate and committed to providing us with an amazing experience. She was detailed oriented and very responsive no matter how we were communicating with her – text, group chat, email, phone calls. Beyond being our wedding planner Stephanie was also our wedding coach and therapist. In every instance where making decisions about flowers, guest lists, food, and everything else that goes into planning a wedding got the best of me and my wife, Stephanie was there to relieve tensions and restore order. Being on the East Coast and not being able to come out to Lake Tahoe until our wedding was one of the most stressful aspects of the wedding. We made every decision without the benefit of being in the Lake Tahoe area which was stressful. This was tough and it was invaluable to have Stephanie as our eyes and ears on the ground. She always had our best interests at heart. She constantly went beyond what I would consider wedding planner duties to make sure we had everything we wanted. She was open, honest and provided great feedback when we. No matter what was going on Stephanie was always upbeat, positive and a joy to talk to and be around. If Stephanie is available book her and stop looking.

Stephanie was fantastic! She was calm, organized, creative and joyful to work with. I enjoyed working with her, and my daughter and her fiancé had their perfect wedding without a hiccup. I highly recommend Stephanie.

If you’re going to hire a coordinator, then you better hire Stephanie! My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about her and her services. We are so lucky to have had her on our big day. From emails, to our rehearsal, and wedding Stephanie killed it! Professional, prompt, and very oriented to detail. She made wedding planning so easy for us. Not only were we impressed by her but our parents and bridal party were as well because she was so on top of everything. Stephanie made sure that we were able to execute our wedding the way we wanted and it came out flawlessly. We cannot thank her and her staff enough. Stephanie made our dream wedding come true!

Stephanie exceeded our expectations. She took our vision and gave us a beautiful wedding.

I am a bride from Texas and had my wedding in North Lake Tahoe. I couldn't have been more thankful for Stephanie. She took care of everything for us, making the entire wedding planning process an enjoyable one. One thing that I really appreciated about Stephanie is that she was always mindful of the budget I was working with. I really appreciated this, as wedding costs can get out of control. I also appreciated how she was always so upbeat and detailed. Stephanie is always available to talk, which is SO great when little questions arise and she can quickly address these. She is so sweet and happy. I highly recommend contacting Stephanie for your wedding planning needs!

I completely lucked out with Stephanie! I consider myself to be an indecisive bride, and she is quick to shift gears as soon as I bring her new ideas and she never misses a beat. She's a thoughtful, courteous and proactive professional who brings valuable knowledge and asks vendors important questions that I'd never think of. Stephanie thinks of me whenever she comes across a cute idea / theme / aspect that aligns with my event and she has my best interests at heart which gives me peace of mind. She's so much more than a planner; she's my advocate (sometimes my therapist) and is always accessible in person, via text, or email whenever I need her. She listens to my every thought and really "gets" me and my fiance, and understands the vision we have for our big day. I've been pleasantly surprised and thoroughly impressed since day one. Thank you Stephanie for endlessly pouring your attention to detail, impeccable design skills and sense of humor into our event - this journey has been 100 times more enjoyable with you as a part of it!
