Stephanie Marie & Co. 
Rating: 5.0 (40 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Nicolaus, CA

Stephanie Marie Morris has spent 15+ years in the event industry: fueled by the social impact, togetherness, and love that each carefully-planned event has imparted onto its guests. With a sociological background + training in event design + planning, & her detail-oriented eye; Stephanie approaches each Wedding as an opportunity to connect to each client's innermost desires, while fostering memorable relationships. Just as each individual has a unique fingerprint, molded by inherent characteristics and shaped by experiences; Stephanie strives to identify that unique vision that each couple has, to then craft an event that resonates :)

To say working with Stephanie was amazing, would be an understatement. My husband and I got engaged in late December 2024 and we hired Stephanie January 2025 to plan our Lake Tahoe October 2025 wedding. From the moment we first made contact with Stephanie, she was completely committed to helping us create our special day. I had a very specific vision for how I wanted our wedding day to look and Stephanie delivered beyond what I could have imagined. Her attention to detail is uncanny. The minutia was just as important as the grand events of the day. I consider myself to be an organized person, but Stephanie's organization is next level. I was definitely a "type A" or "needy" bride and continually checked in with Stephanie about details/schedules/vendors/etc., and sometimes even jumped the gun on planning details. Not once did Stephanie make me feel bad about my nervous energy or impulsive decisions, but rather reassured me of the planning process and reminded me that whatever I wanted she was going to help me get it; whether it was a specific vendor or design detail. She was always available to answer my emails or texts all while meeting the needs of her other brides, and that is something I greatly appreciated. The weeks leading up to your wedding day become hectic and overwhelming at times, but that's where Stephanie shines. She took care of every detail imaginable-and I mean EVERY DETAIL. She help relieved the pressure off my husband and I, which allowed us to enjoy and revel in the excitement of the coming day. On our wedding day, she worked endlessly to make sure every aspect was perfect and exactly how we wanted it, all while still finding the time to physically check in with both myself and husband while we were getting ready for the day. Even throughout the afternoon and evening, if my husband or I needed something she would magically appear, despite continuing to juggle the events of the evening. Stephanie is the type of planner, and person, who gives 100% of herself to her couples and that is an aspect of a planner that money can't buy. She cares deeply about helping you achieve the wedding day of your dreams, and she certainly did just that, and more for us. Choosing Stephanie to plan our wedding day was the best decision we could have made and I will forever be thankful for her and the day she created for my husband and I. Thanks to Stephanie we truly had the best wedding day, and in turn, have the fondest memories to carry with us.

We provide the knowledge, ideas, tools and solutions you need to plan the wedding of your dreams. We are the one vendor that is truly looking out for you and your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Amy to plan and coordinate our wedding. Our goal was to make our guests feel taken care of. Good food, good drink, good company; bringing the most important people in our lives together to celebrate our relationship and really understand us as a couple. That’s a big ask for a wedding. We trusted Amy to help us get the job done and she absolutely delivered. We booked her partial planning option. Our initial meetings with her, and all of the advice and tools she provided helped us navigate the process very cleanly. We always felt like we could reliably get our questions answered. More important though, she helped us understand what questions we should be asking in the first place, what was important, what was a priority, and what wasn’t. From there, meeting with her virtually and in person at our venue she was ON IT. She was a sponge for information: soaking up every idea, question, or anxiety, and addressing each with her deep experience and expertise. We went into our day confident in the plan we put together, and with an understanding of how things were being executed. That understanding did not prepare us for how blown away we would be by the quality of the job she and her team did on the day and in the lead up to it. Everything with our vendors was perfectly coordinated. Everything with the venue totally taken care of. We were providing a lot of the decor ourselves and her team picked up on and understood exactly what we were going for and assembled everything just as we planned it without any additional communication. They also seamlessly smoothed out and filled in any rough edges in our overall plan for the day, with little details we hadn’t considered identified and taken care of in thoughtful ways. If any small issues or problems popped up they were immediately handled with professionalism and grace. On top of that, Amy went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel special. She knew what was important to us, and made sure it happened. She was always there, but never in the way. A true professional. The day itself went off without a hitch and was better than we had even hoped. We knew this day would be special, but we didn’t realize just how special it would be for us, thanks to Amy and her team. And as fantastic as the process was, the end result was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, not only for us but for our guests as well.

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. 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!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Working with Becca at Rae Weddings & Events was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I hired her as a Day of Coordinator and from the very beginning, she brought such a calm and confident energy that immediately put me at ease. I had all my ideas clearly laid out, and Becca not only supported my vision but offered thoughtful advice and wonderful vendor referrals that made everything come together beautifully. Throughout the planning process, she was always quick to respond, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail was covered. On the day of the wedding, I felt completely at peace knowing Becca had everything handled. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, which was such a gift. I’ve already recommended her to others, and one of my close friends recently had her coordinate their wedding day as well. Becca’s experience in wedding planning and her attention to detail truly shined throughout the entire process.

The Winchester Estate by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew it was the perfect place for our fairytale wedding. The ivy-covered walls, romantic ambiance, and stunning grounds made us feel like we were living inside a storybook. Every detail was beyond what we imagined. Taylor, our coordinator, was incredible from the very start. She kept in constant contact, answered every question, and somehow managed to think of things we didn’t even know we needed. She made us feel so heard and cared for every step of the way, and she even ensured that allergies and personal preferences were handled thoughtfully and seamlessly. When Ben took over on the day of the wedding, everything flowed effortlessly. He kept the timeline running smoothly while making sure we could just enjoy the moment. And then there was Drew — our amazing DJ — who truly brought the party to life. He made our music feel personal, got everyone dancing, and even joined in on the fun himself! He somehow managed to keep the little ones entertained (and contained!) when their lightsaber battle got a bit too enthusiastic — a true hero of the night! The entire staff went above and beyond, dancing along with us, smiling, and adding to the energy of the celebration. It never felt like they were just working an event — they were part of it. Their joy matched ours, and that made the night even more unforgettable. Our wedding at Winchester Estate was everything we dreamed of and more. It was magical, effortless, and filled with love and laughter. We’ll cherish it forever!

Choosing A&M FILMS for our wedding video was one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, they were prompt and easy to work with, which made the whole planning process stress-free. On the day of our engagement shoot, they had a gift for staying out of the way while still capturing everything that mattered. We felt free to be ourselves because the camera didn't feel intrusive. When we watched our photos, we were blown away by how much depth and warmth they brought to every moment. Their work is simple yet so full of emotion, and we couldn't be happier with what they created for us.

Hey There! I am Emily Blackburn. I have been working in the event planning industry for about 13 years. My favorite thing about events is being the ringleader and puppeteer behind the scenes of each event. I live for the execution of the client’s vision and to see the smiles on their faces with the overall WOW that radiates throughout the entire event. I have been working in the San Joaquin/Placer/Nevada County areas, and have finally decided to start my own business! I can’t wait to chat with you and hear more about your event! Lots of Love, ~ Em

Sweet Soirée Event Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with for weddings at our venue. Emily, the lead planner, had a thorough, fun, and efficient communication style that put everyone at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of her work was excellent - she were on point with every detail and went above and beyond to ensure the client’s special day was picture-perfect. Emily arrived early, expertly coordinated the decor and timeline, and had all the vendors, staff, and even the couple having an excellent time. I highly recommend Sweet Soirée Event Planning for all your event planning needs. It's so important to have a planner who can get along well with all the vendors to create a fantastic event, and Emily and her team exceeded our expectations in every way.

We offer estimates for service if contacted directly. Our staff have more than 25 years of bartending experience. We specialize in weddings, but can do any kind of private event. After years of being stuck with mundane corporate menus, only constructing vibrant and lively drinks at home for friends and family, and dreaming of owning my own bar, we decided to start The Parched Poppies.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the opportunity to work with Parched Poppies recently for a wedding with a welcome drink, multiple bar setups in different locations and a tight timeline. I have done the same setup with multiple mobile bar services and it is never any easy task to pull this off and to do it well. Parched Poppies was a refreshing surprise and absolutely killed it for setup, professional bar service, amazing and delicious cocktails, keeping the guests hydrated without lines and being an amazing vendor to communicate and work with from start to finish! All the things I hope and wish for my clients when hiring a mobile bar service! Parched Poppies set the bar standard high for professional mobile bar services and all the packages and add-ons they offer. I can tell they love what they do and will be referring them to future clients as a preferred vendor. I cannot wait to work with them again soon.

Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we first connected with the team, we felt supported, valued, and confident that we were in great hands. Every staff member we worked with was kind, knowledgeable, and committed to helping create a day that was uniquely ours. A feature we absolutely loved was the Borrow Barn. Having access to such a wide selection of décor made the planning process so much easier and allowed us to create the look we wanted without the expense and hassle of purchasing everything ourselves. It was an amazing resource and added so much charm to our wedding day. The venue itself is simply beautiful. The natural surroundings provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and photos, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the property was. Everywhere you looked, there was another perfect view. What truly sets this venue apart, though, is the combination of its beauty and the incredible people behind it. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We will always be thankful for the role they played in making our wedding day so memorable, and we highly recommend this venue to any couple searching for a breathtaking location and an outstanding team.
