My wife and I just had our wedding on 9/16/17 at The Ridge Tahoe Resort last month, and they were INCREDIBLE!
Blair gave us our original tour of the wedding site and facilities, c...osts, and reviewed what a wedding would look like there. We were both impressed by the thoroughness and sincerity of that first interaction, and felt like that professionalism would carry over throughout the wedding planning process and the big day.
Boy, did that end up being a massive understatement. Shannon was our planner and day-of coordinator - let me tell you that she is a total boss and incredible at what she does. Her responses were always timely and knowledgeable, and she was able to handle whatever questions and ideas we threw at her. Friends and family would keep chatting with us about their own experiences with planning their weddings, talking about how stressful it is, etc, but my wife and I never really felt that - thanks to Shannon and The Ridge crew!
Other important notes: the food and chef (both pastry and head chef) are incredible, our guests kept commenting (and still comment) on the awesome dinner and desserts that they had. Also, the whole reception crew (servers, banquet captain, bartenders) helped us throw the best party we will probably ever throw in our lives - huge shout out!
As we live in San Francisco, another thing that attracted us to The Ridge was they offered packages where they would provide vendors for us including our DJ, photographer, florist and hair & makeup artists. Our DJ, Dylan Thomas, was top notch - the dance floor was full nearly the entire reception! Our florist, Tina, with Lavish Floral, delivered us absolutely stunning pieces and decorations. Our photographer Rachel Lomeli was awesome. We have seen some preview prints already, and they are stunning. She also had some amazing spots to take bridal party photos in close proximity to the resort which made for a fun experience with our bridal party - be ready to hike in your heels :) Stacy and Allie did a great job on our hair and makeup and were a pleasure to spend the morning with while getting ready.
Did I mention that we loved Shannon? In fact, our whole wedding party, family, etc, loved her, and my wife and I knew that she had our back at all times and that things would go smoothly because she was on top of it all.
To sum up a probably rambling novel, we felt that we could not have chosen a better place to get married and have our reception. From literally that first visit to the wedding day, we knew that we were in great hands with The Ridge Resort and all their staff. Our approximately 90 guests had a total blast, and my wife and I had the best day of our lives. We plan to come back and visit whenever we can!
