Hi! I’m Makayla the heart behind Mama Mak’s Entertainment. I created Boozy Minis because I believe weddings and celebrations should feel personal, fun, and totally unforgettable. My miniature horses and donkeys aren’t just adorable — they’re part of the experience. From greeting guests to carrying beverages in the cutest way possible, they bring smiles, conversation, and a little bit of magic to every event. I take pride in keeping everything safe, professional, and stress-free, so you can just enjoy the moment. I love helping couples and hosts create celebrations that people will be talking about long after the last drink is served.

Boozy Minis was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication was professional, quick, and caring - they clearly wanted to understand our needs and make sure we were fully satisfied. On the day of the event, their team was amazing, providing a high-quality, professional, and polite service. The drinks they served were a huge hit with our guests and the presentation was beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better vendor to help make our wedding day so special. Highly recommend Boozy Minis to any couple looking for an exceptional bar service for their big day!

Emma Lynne Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Garden Valley, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

To me, photography is a medium that requires time, humility, thought, and trust. It is an art that lasts beyond yesterday, today and tomorrow. It captures moments of transition and development; and encourages light and vulnerability. It finds the light even where darkness may dwell. It shows order to chaos. And it celebrates courage, confidence and natural beauty. All that to say the heart behind my images are found where growth and humility meet and form something beautifully authentic. My desire is to capture that and make it last.

LOVE LOVE LOVE our gallery! The best, sweetest, most lovely memories from our wedding. Emma was like having your closest friend there photographing the best part of the day. She got the big stuff but also gave us some beautiful shots of family and friends. I love looking through our album. It brings a big old smile to my face every time! She's incredible! Her work is full of love and joy. 10/10!

Awarded Best of Zola
Not sure where to begin writing this review. There are truly no words big enough to describe how special Cello Joe was as our wedding DJ. He wasn’t just a part of our wedding day, he made our wedding day. From the very first moment to the very last song, he gave us something so magical, so unforgettable, that it still makes us emotional to think about. He was literally the heartbeat of our day. He played live cello pre ceremony for all the guests to enjoy that was truly so beautiful. But the live cello as I walked down the aisle is a memory etched into our hearts forever. It was more than music. It felt like the soundtrack to our love story, and it was the most beautiful beginning to the rest of our lives. Then, during cocktail hour, he transformed the atmosphere with looping, beatboxing, and cello in a way that left every single guest completely captivated. People couldn’t stop talking about it, and even now, they’re still telling us it was the most unique and breathtaking performance they’ve ever experienced at a wedding from start to finish. And then there was the saxophonist he brought in during the dance party. pure magic. Together, they created an energy that was electric, soulful, and overflowing with joy. They didn’t just entertain, they touched every heart in the room. Not only was he the most talented cello musician, he absolutely crushed the dance party and played non stop for 3:30 hours. Not one bad song or bad mix. It was absolutely incredible. But what truly sets him apart is how much heart he pours into what he does. Without us even knowing, he recorded our entire ceremony, our cocktail hour, our dance floor, and gifted us not just music, but memories. He allowed us to relive the most important day of our lives again and again. That level of thoughtfulness is beyond anything we could have imagined. Our wedding was perfect because of him. He exceeded every expectation and gave us more than we ever dreamed possible. He is, without question, the most talented, kind, and extraordinary musician and DJ we have ever met. If we could give him more than 5 stars, we would. To us, he isn’t just the best wedding DJ in the world, he’s someone we will forever be grateful for, someone who gave us the gift of a wedding day that truly felt like a dream. Cello Joe, thank you for all the moments you created throughout our weekend. You truly are one of the most talented people we’ve ever met and I will be recommending you to everybody I know!!

Ali is literally the best wedding coordinator a couple could ask to have. From the moment we first spoke with her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that we would have a smooth wedding planning experience and stress free wedding day. Although the stress is inevitable, Ali lifted a ton of weight off of our shoulders the entire last month leading up to our wedding and the wedding day was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined. Our only regret was not choosing full service planning with Ali and only going with month-of! We can't imagine the process going smoothly without Ali and her team and highly recommend her to all of our friends and family. She helped us more than we could have ever hoped – from always being available to give us advice on any decisions we had to make, big or small, to making sure we truly were able to enjoy and not worry about anything but being present on our wedding day. There are so many behind-the-scene logistical challenges that we did not even notice until we thought about it after the wedding and realized were handled by her team. We were able to trust her 100% in any stylistic choices because we know she has a good eye for aesthetics and making our vision come to life. She took the time and effort to learn what we as a couple uniquely like, and made sure that everything was perfect on the wedding day. Ali’s experience and advice are what makes her planning invaluable, even the smallest things you might not think about can make such a big difference on how the day pans out. We genuinely don’t think our wedding would have been possible without her and her expert team!

Anne Roos was a fantastic live music addition to our wedding in early April. She had worked with our coordinator in the past, making it a seamless integration into the wedding program. We loved the deep library of music that she offered; we found songs that fit every moment for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. The music added a classy touch to our ceremony and the guests loved the movie themes and show tunes! We had our wedding just after in the last major snowfall in North Lake and she was able to accommodate that the changing weather without any disruption to the program. We would highly recommend Anne for anyone looking for a Classical harpist in the Tahoe region.

About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

I highly recommend Kaybebe Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Teddy months in advance for our wedding day on April 26, 2025. We wanted a cinematic style to capture our day but we also weren’t familiar with the poses nor how to work with a photographer for a full 11 hours. Teddy made it super easy and great to work with him and ask him what we were hoping to get captured on our wedding day. He was communicative, on time, and open to going with the flow as changes came up with our itinerary due to unexpected rain. We got married at our church, took pictures at a nearby garden, and then we traveled 30 minutes to the reception. We definitely recommend him and hope others can have the great experience we had with him!

10 Stars across the board for Judi and To Have & To Hold Wedding Planning!!!!! Our wedding at Orchard Creek Lodge on August 16, 2025, was absolutely perfect — and we owe so much of that to Judi and the incredible team at To Have and To Hold Wedding Planning. From the very beginning, Judi was a dream to work with. She was endlessly patient, incredibly sweet, and always made us feel like our vision truly mattered. Throughout the entire planning process, Judi guided us with such grace and calm, even when we were overwhelmed with decisions. Her eye for detail is unmatched — every flower, every table setting, and every timeline detail was flawless. She anticipated things we never would have thought of and made sure the day ran seamlessly from start to finish. One of the highlights of our planning journey was our monthly check-in calls with Judi. My husband and I genuinely looked forward to them every time! She made each meeting fun, organized, and reassuring — turning what could have been a stressful process into something we actually enjoyed. What stood out most was how genuinely caring and kind Judi was. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and stress-free. We truly felt supported every step of the way, and it’s clear that she pours her heart into what she does. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn’t have done it without her. Judi will always hold a special place in our hearts — she is the wedding planner every bride and groom deserves! Thank you, Judi, for making our special day unforgettable! The Fergusons

Nicky Byrnes Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Garden Valley, CA

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nikki from Nemus photography is a fantastic Tahoe-local and wonderfully talented artist. We have had the joy of doing a number of area events together over the years and Nikki truly delivers with amazing shots, beautifully edited images and we would highly recommend her to couples looking for an artistic, creative and professional photographer for their engagement shoot, wedding celebration, etc. Having done hundreds of Tahoe area wedding myself I will say that Nikki pours her heart and soul into her work and it shows. If you want a massively-talented photographer who knows the area, can tell your love story through beautiful images and is professional and timely than look no further.

Dana Gualco Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Garden Valley, CA

I am Dana Gualco, a natural light and golden hour photographer based in Roseville, CA, serving the Sacramento area and beyond. My passion for photography is rooted in the belief that everyone has a unique story to tell, and I am dedicated to capturing yours with authenticity. Specializing in weddings, engagements, and portraits, I focus on the meaningful details that you will cherish for a lifetime. My goal is to provide high-resolution, timeless images that reflect the raw emotion and beauty of your celebration, turning your fleeting milestones into priceless heirlooms.

Hiring Dana was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She has been our photographer since 2017, back when we were just dating. Since then, she has captured every major milestone in our lives: our proposal, engagement photos, wedding day, pregnancy announcements, newborn sessions for both of our boys, and our family photos every single year since. The fact that we continue to call her year after year says everything about how much we trust her and love her work. On our wedding day specifically, she was calm, organized, and somehow everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. She made us feel completely comfortable and confident, and she truly has a gift for capturing genuine emotion. Our photos are timeless, beautiful, and still some of our most treasured possessions. Dana is not only incredibly talented, she is kind, warm, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She wants you to feel beautiful and at ease, and she makes the entire experience fun instead of stressful. If you are looking for someone who will capture your wedding day flawlessly and then be the photographer you continue to call for every milestone after that, she is it. We cannot recommend her enough.
