I am so so happy we hired Big Day Productions for our special day. Bianca was thorough and communicative throughout the entire process, but I couldn’t even have imagined how our wedding film was going to turn out. Bianca captured the smallest most amazing moments with our families that we didn’t even see happen because we were so busy running around all day. The quality of the film was also incredible, it looks like a movie!!!! I’m beyond happy we have this documentation of our wedding to watch back over and over again as our relationship grows and changes. I can’t thank big day productions enough for being there! I’m so happy we chose to go with them and would recommend their services to anyone.

Working with Jasmine & Co. Hair & Makeup was an absolute pleasure. From the very first conversation, their communication style was positive, open, and intentional. Jasmine and her team were active listeners, taking the time to understand my desired look for my wedding day.

What an amazing experience working with Joey. He was very thoughtful in curating the music for our day and I hope you find what you are looking for with him. I am a wedding vendor of 15 years as well doing hair, makeup and morning concierge. One of my past brides at one of my most favorite venues to work at is how I was introduced to Joey. After coming out of the hair room I love taking a moment to walk around the venue and there he was playing the cello along with some background music. I was hooked. I love that he was incorporating songs of today with the art of an instrument. I found it unique and something I wanted to showcase at my wedding. I didn’t want people to walk up to just music playing in the space, but an experience. Joey took the time to do 2 calls with us, one being over the phone and the second being over zoom. He came with a detailed questionnaire of how we wanted our wedding to go. It was so detailed that even a music mood girl I didn’t even think of. The calls were scheduled for 30 minutes but he didn’t hesitate to chat with me for over an hour on how I wanted it to be curated. I had already started 2 wedding playlists, but he added and sent me 5 to 6 albums to fill out of songs I loved and wanted. I had over 10 hours of music to play and not only did he take those into consideration he added music that my guests also requested. He even accepted me saying change this song and only play the 10 year olds music every 10 songs He needed to set up in two spaces, one for the ceremony which was outside on our property. He was set up and playing by the time guests arrived. Everyone I spoke with loved the music selection, which I told him “Bridgerton vibes” and he ran with it. After the ceremony his assistant had music playing for the cocktail hour while they broke down the equipment in the ceremony area. I was blown away by the lights that were brought and the look of everything. Microphones worked for speeches and he even had a stand for those who wanted to use them. We didn’t do a traditional walk in but he announced us perfectly and we ran around the tables saying hello to our friends and family. I would recommend Joey to anyone looking to have an experience for their guests, have a DJ but also want strings all in one. He was professional, timely and for someone who did not have a day of coordination or planner very informative. I wanted vendors to do what they do best and I’m glad I trusted him to provide us with music throughout the day and night!

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!

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.

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!

Kait made me feel like she was a close friend who I could lean on without ever having met her! On the wedding day itself, her calm and flexible approach helped us feel at ease, and the resulting photos are simply beautiful, with great angles and lighting that made me feel beautiful and a camera shy groom shine. She got us sneak peaks that we LOVED and poured over with in less than 12 hours!

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.

You NEED Crush’s at your wedding! Hadyn and Falon were amazing! Knowledgeable, professional, and fun! Seriously, our family & friends are still raving about the cocktails at our wedding. :) We found Crush’s on Instagram and fell in love with the creative and photogenic cocktails they posted. We booked the cocktail bar package for our wedding and they provided us with a tasting of our choice of 4 bottled cocktails to try at home so we could narrow it down to 3. They were all delicious, but we ended up going with the Watermelon Moscow Mule, Open Flame, & Rosehip Dew Drop. They then provided us with a list of liquor we needed to purchase for the selected cocktails, since mobile bars are a “dry-hire” bartending service in CA. On our wedding day, the ladies were on time and helped setup the self-serve beer, wine, non-alcoholic drink buckets, and welcome shots. They provided the buckets, ice, cups, hand-made cocktail mixers, garnishes, etc., and brought their own beautiful wooden bar. They served our 3 cocktails along with straight & mixed shots all night. The cocktails were such a hit, that we ran out of liquor (we had a ton of beer left lol). The ladies offered to run to the liquor store to purchase more and saved the night! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Recommend them 10000%!

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

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 :)

There are truly not enough words to describe how exceptional Stephanie is as a wedding planner. She is, without a doubt, the absolute best. Planning our wedding in under a year while I was balancing graduate school out of state seemed like an impossible task, but Stephanie made it not only achievable but also enjoyable. From the very beginning, she took the time to really listen to my vision and understood exactly what I wanted—then she brought it to life in a way that exceeded my expectations at every turn. Despite the challenges I faced with my hectic schedule, Stephanie always made the process feel stress-free, fun, and exciting. One of Stephanie's standout qualities is her incredible attention to detail. Her organizational skills are unparalleled, and she kept everything on track from start to finish. I never had to worry about missing a deadline or forgetting a detail because she was on top of everything. She is also incredibly responsive—no matter how busy I got, I always knew I could count on her for quick, thoughtful answers. Stephanie’s extensive network of vendors is another major asset. She introduced us to some truly wonderful people who fit our personalities and vision perfectly. Whether it was the photographer, florist, DJ, or hair & makeup team, each vendor Stephanie recommended was top-notch and played a crucial role in bringing our dream wedding to life. Her relationships with these vendors made a huge difference in the quality of service we received and made the planning process run smoothly. When it came time for the big day, Stephanie truly shined. She handled every challenge with grace and poise—whether it was navigating a snowy weekend forecast or managing family dynamics (as we all know, this can be a delicate task!). Her calm demeanor, problem-solving skills, and level-headed approach allowed my husband and me to completely relax and enjoy our special day without a single worry. Stephanie’s thoughtful, caring, and thorough approach to the entire wedding process made all the difference.

We are Theodore Kushner and Brittany Keyes, an award-winning cinematography and photography team based in the Tahoe region. With an extraordinary passion for storytelling and decades of experience in Hollywood and television, we bring unparalleled expertise to commercials, TV projects, and music videos.

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!

Hi, I'm Becca, owner and lead planner at Rae Weddings & Events, based out of Sacramento, CA. I specialize in creating a one-of-a-kind experience for every couple, from full planning to month-of coordination. Your dream, your vision, your perfect wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
We reached out to Becca when we realized our wedding celebration day was going to be too much for ourselves or even trusted friends and family to coordinate on our big day. This ended up being the best decision we made for planning! Becca truly loves what she does and you can tell by how much care and thoughtfulness she put into every detail. She met with us multiple times while we were planning, helped us immensely with scheduling our timeline, and reached out to every single vendor so that they would reach out to her instead of us—which was so helpful as things got busier and busier! She also helped by making customized decals for our signage/mirrors and completely saw the vision for how decor would look! On the big day Becca was our biggest supporter—picking up our florals, arriving at the venue extra early, cut and arranged flowers for tables, decorated every table, organized drinks, made sure they stayed cold, and handled every detail for our entire timeline! Someone gave me advice early on to do whatever I could so that I could feel like a guest at my own wedding, and not have to make any decisions or answer big questions. Because we reached out to Becca and got her day of coordinator services that came true for us and I am so thankful!

I could not recommend Mindy more! She was absolutely fantastic to work with and was extremely thoughtful and helpful with the entire experience. I used Mindy to capture two events, a proposal and and a surprise engagement party. For the proposal, Mindy spend a lot of time with me thinking through the right proposal spot at the location I was looking at to make sure that it worked for the photos, she even got there early to make sure that it worked. She was so well hidden to capture the proposal that for a moment I wasn't sure she was there, but she was and captured it and spent time with us after to take photos. We just got the sneak peak of the photos and they look fantastic. For the surprise party Mindy got there early and started to capture moments even before my fiancee and I arrived, she was really flexible on what worked best for the event so we can't wait to see the final photos!
