If you’re getting married and not sure if you need a planner, I’m here to tell you that you do and her name is Maddie with Stunning and Brilliant Events Reno/Tahoe. My husband and ...
I just got married and the best decision we made about our wedding was Maddie. She brought my vision to life, found us the perfect venue, and recommended the best vendors. We did a partial package with her and it was perfect for us. She set up and came to all of our venue tours and our menu tasting. She was very intuitive about what we did and didn’t like and asked all of the questions we never would have thought of.
Day of her and her team set everything up for us and made sure to take care of any problem that arose like last minute guest cancellations. I also have very bad anxiety and when the loops on the buttons on my dress started snapping she stopped what she was doing and sowed me into my dress and kept my anxiety levels low. She also had my phone and took pictures of every little moment so that we had behind the scenes memories that we didn’t have to worry about capturing.
Everyone always says planning a wedding is very stressful but our experience was the exact opposite because of her. Thank you Maddie and to anyone reading this, it’s absolutely worth it.

My husband and I hired Nina Lerman for our wedding and I’m not kidding when I say we couldn’t have done it without her. She was not only knowledgeable and organized, but incredibly...
prompt with her responses and advocated for us with vendors throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she took care of every single detail and because of her the event went off without a hitch. I could not recommend Nina and the whole team and stunning and brilliant events enough!!!

ade what can often feel like an overwhelming process both seamless and genuinely enjoyable.
Maddie Judson and her team were exceptional partners throughout every stage of planning—consistently responsive, thoughtful, and proactive. Our wedding at Hidden Valley Country Club was executed flawlessly, with every element carefully coordinated behind the scenes so that the entire day unfolded effortlessly. The timeline was managed with precision, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy each moment without a single concern.
The end result was even more beautiful than we could have envisioned, and our guests continue to share how impressed they were with how smooth and well-organized everything felt. We are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication that went into making our day so special, and we would recommend Maddie and her team without hesitation.

ned a wedding before (and is definitely more Type B), having her guidance was absolutely invaluable.
From the moment we started working together, she knew every detail, every timeline, every little thing I never even would have thought of. She walked me through everything so calmly and confidently, which made the entire process feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
On the wedding day itself, she and her team kept everything running seamlessly. Any little thing I forgot or didn’t have time to think about, they handled. Our flowers were delivered right before we left for the ceremony, and I didn’t have to stress for even a second because she coordinated directly with all of our vendors and kept track of everything.
At the end of the night, her team handled teardown, packed everything up carefully, made sure items got into the correct cars, and dropped things off where they needed to go. It truly made all the difference in allowing us, our families, and our friends to actually enjoy the day instead of worrying about logistics.
Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone.

Maddie as our planner let us fully enjoy our wedding day without any stress. (She solved problems throughout the day that we didn’t even know existed!) She’s also the sweetest person ever and was always available to answer my questions.
I was on the fence about hiring a month of planner since I had already booked my own vendors - I am so glad I decided to let her take over because it allowed us to sit back, relax and fully be present for the entirety of our wedding day!

On the wedding day itself, Maddie truly shined. She completely took over every detail so I didn’t have to worry about anything. I was able to relax, be present, and actually enjoy the day knowing she and her assistants had everything under control. They handled everything seamlessly and calmly behind the scenes.
If you’re looking for a planner who will make your day run flawlessly and give you total peace of mind, I cannot recommend Maddie enough. She was worth every penny.

ddie take my vision and help expand on it but made sure to pay attention to the little details that made the day even more special. When setting up an event there are so many things to think about and possibly forget, I didn’t have any of those worries because she was so on top of it. Even though I probably rang her phone off the hook, she was always there to answer my questions and get to the bottom of things! Truly an amazing experience and can’t wait to come back again for the next big (or even small) event! Thanks again Maddie!!

Maddie is amazing! I am seriously blown away at how perfectly she executed our wedding. I had a ton of DIY things for my wedding (florals, decor, desserts, etc.) and so many small ...
details I requested. She was on top of everything from start to finish, and she and her partner set up the most beautiful decor with it - looked so much better than what I had imagined. They really have an eye for design.
She also stayed organized and ahead of things the whole time leading up to the event. We dropped off everything (tons of boxes) at the venue the night before and she somehow noticed a few things that I forgot to bring and texted me about it that same day. She also stopped by the house to pick them up to make things easier for me. I also had a camcorder I asked if she could help get footage on and she captured SO much (ceremony, cake cutting, messages from guests, etc.).
Throughout the whole process, Maddie was so organized, professional, detail oriented, knowledgeable, had excellent communication (with me and the vendors) and she was also very friendly with all the guests and had great energy during the wedding. Overall couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator - she really turned our wedding into a reality and we’re so thankful for her.

nute of the big night, she was very attentive and paid attention to detail (which was a super important aspect to me). Most importantly, when we had an issue with the florist, Maddie was quick to respond and resolved the issue before I came up with a solution. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator!!
