Lindsey and her team are such a joy to work with and made what felt like an overwhelming task of planning a wedding incredibly easy and fun. Their process is professional, organized and straightforward - they guided us with all the things we didn't realize we needed when planning a wedding and thank god because it would've been a disaster without them. We LOVED our floral and MUA recommendations we got from Lindsey and our wedding could not have turned out better. Day of, we didn't have to worry about anything, everything ran on schedule and we were able to truly enjoy every second of the day. Our guests were raving about how effortless and beautiful the wedding was, this wouldn't have been possible without Blue Sky! read more

The Blue Sky Events team is INCREDIBLE! They made our big day completely flawless and were such a joy to work with. I'm not someone who pays super close attention to detail and they made sure that no balls were ever dropped and that the whole weekend was planned to perfection. I felt completely supported along the way and couldn't have asked for a better team to help our special day come to life. Thank you, thank you, thank you Alicia and Kerry! Couldn't recommend more. read more

It was truly a delight working with Alicia and Kerry for the year or so leading up to our wedding. We were specifically looking for a wedding planning team that understood our vision of having a wedding weekend event celebration that really indexed on bringing the community we love together. They were very thoughtful and helpful while we were creating the vision for the weekend, suggesting fun ideas and additions and thinking through the practicality elements of the weekend. Once we had the vision tied down, Alicia was absolutely seamless at putting everything together, fully handling all logistics - we always had absolute confidence and trust working with her! It was honestly a very calm and fun experience working with them! When it came to the week of the wedding, unexpected weather (snow!) came up in the forecast just 3 days out! Alicia worked with us to help us still make our wedding all that we planned for. We ending up creating a two-part ceremony, one in the sunshine/warmth of Friday evening and another ceremonial celebration on the Saturday with the snow! SO SO glad that we had Alicia and BlueSky as the team figuring it all out last minute -- they listened to our desires and requests and really pulled out all the stops to make it happen! 100% recommend. We had the MOST fabulous weekend, with such low stress and really just the best time. THANK YOU TEAM! Run don't walk to get them for your wedding/event! read more

I am so pleased that we chose to work with Alicia and the blue sky team for our wedding planning. Our timeline was quite short and I had a very specific vision for our winter wedding at Edgewood. Alicia was so helpful in keeping us organized and on task and had so many connections within the industry to help pull everything together. The weather the day of our event did not cooperate and Alicia was great about handling the last minute changes to move everything indoors. Our wedding day was stress free and beautiful thanks to Alicia! read more

Alicia from Blue Sky Events was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly organized, flexible, detail oriented and we couldn't have brought our special day to life without her. She provided us with resources to keep us on track, reminders to meet deadlines and help with budgeting. She made amazing recommendations for vendors that we were absolutely thrilled with and thought of everything we didn't even know should have been on our radar. She accommodated our very busy schedules, having meetings at awkward times and promptly responding to all of our questions. The day of the event, Alicia ensured everything was taken care of, leaving myself and my husband to fully enjoy our special day. I can't recommend Alicia and Blue Sky enough, they gave us the wedding of our dreams! read more

She truly helped alleviate so much of my stress and worry the month leading up to my wedding and also make our wedding day itself run so smoothly. She stayed calm and helped me keep things organized. Alicia helped bring all of our visions to light for our wedding day. We highly recommend! read more

We had a great experience working with Alicia on our beautiful wedding in Lake Tahoe! Thanks again!

We want to thank Lindsey for helping making our wedding perfect! We got married at the Hideout over Labor Day weekend. We had unexpected weather that resulted in us changing locations for the rehearsal and updating out floor plans for the wedding day. Lindsey jumped into action immediately to create a back-up plan, she coordinated with all our vendors making our wedding day completely stress free. Her and her team were so sweet on the wedding day and truly did everything to make sure we could take it all in! Thank you!!! read more

Blue Sky Events made our wedding day absolutely magical. From my initial conversations with Kerry to the month of planning services with Alicia, they truly knocked it out of the park!! Alicia went above and beyond to make sure not only our day went smoothly but more importantly that I didn't have to stress any of the fine details and could enjoy the magic of our wedding day. From coordinating vendor schedules, running our rehearsal, to making sure my hair looked perfect before walking down the aisle to even bustling my dress before our first dance she DID IT ALL and I am so grateful for her help. If you are considering Blue Sky events, I am here to encourage you to team up with them for your wedding planning journey- you won't regret it! read more

When I initially spoke with Kerry, more than a year and a half prior to our wedding, she guaranteed me that her team had experience with our venue. This was the sole basis for why we chose Blue Sky over other planners. Unfortunatelt, the planner assigned to our wedding did not have experience with our venue. This added stress to an already stressful time. My frustrations grew as the day approached and more and more of the vendors we spoke with said "usually the planner does this." There was a lack of attention to some important details on the day of that have marred my memory of the day. For instance, in our contract it indicated that the planner would recover my bouquet after the wedding for me. Instead it, along with the charm holding a poem and photo of my late father were thrown away. I am grateful for the help we did receive, but I do not believe it to have been worth the price we paid. read more

Kerry just made our wedding everything I had imagined it would be and more! I hired her and her company as a month of coordinator for my Edgewood October 7th wedding. She did everything from small favors to herding my sometimes oblivious family. I explained my wedding vision to her and she delivered perfectly. I couldn't be more grateful for the help and support that she gave to me and my family on that special day. I would highly recommend Kerry and her company. I'll be calling them for our 10th wedding anniversary celebration ;) Thank you Kerry! xoxo read more

I love Kerry and her team. Professional, creative top notch service....I know I don't have to worry when they are planning an event I am photographing. read more

Blue Sky Events - Newlyweds at West Shore cafe pier - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Stateline, Nevada

Working with the Blue Sky team meant that I got to relax and know everything would taken care of. They're insanely organized, super knowledgeable on the Tahoe area as well, with all sorts of insider tips, tricks, and relationships that help them take your event to the next level. I hired them for three major events (1000+ attendees each) while working at a major ski resort in the Tahoe area and each was executed fabulously! They really felt like they were a part of our team while we were working together. Definitely worth the budget to work with them! read more

I was not sure if I wanted to spend more money and hire a wedding planner, but oh my goodness it was probably the best decision I made to hire Blue Sky Events! Aimee Salcido is MY SAVIOR! She was my month of and day of planner and I can't even begin to express my gratitude for everything Aimee did. My mom actually recommended Blue Sky because she had friends that knew the owner Kerry. I was hesitant but it made all the difference for my wedding. Aimee took on every detail, she was thorough, communicative, honest, and made sure I never took on more than I needed to. She kept me calm and if I needed anything, she was always there! I never felt like I had to rush from one thing to the next on my wedding day, she worked seamlessly and professionally with all my vendors to make sure I had the best day of my life. It was also a bonus that she had worked at my venue before and knew all there was to know, which was extremely helpful considering I was planning a wedding in Tahoe when I lived in Colorado! I urge any bride in the Tahoe area to hire Blue Sky if they want to feel calm and supported on their wedding day, taken care of throughout their planning process, and desiring the best day of their life, with their vision carried out with perfection! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! Aimee, thank you will never be enough! You are truly phenomenal! read more

We cannot recommend Blue Sky Events enough. We elected the Day-Of package and worked with Chelsea, who is absolutely amazing. She was so helpful, so on top of everything, and so knowledgeable about vendors, processes, details, and even the ins and outs of the marriage license process. When our DJ became unavailable the night before our wedding (yes, that happened), Chelsea handled everything, securing a new, absolutely amazing DJ within hours. Our wedding day was beyond even what we imagined and we are so thankful to Chelsea and the Blue Sky Team for help making it what it was. Look no further - you've found your wedding planner. read more

My son Billy and new bride Tracy were blessed to have Chelsea with Blue Skies Events/Tahoe as their wedding planner. Living over 4 hours from the wedding destination, which was held 09/02/17 at the Beach Retreat Resort in Tahoe proposed a challenge. Chelsea made long distance preparation go smooth as silk. Chelsea's vendor recommendations, from the photographer, videographer, florist, cake, DJ, hair & make-up salon, & even Nanny's were fantastic. Chelsea's upbeat energetic stress free personality made everyone feel at ease. She made herself available when Tracy or I had questions or concerns and provided answers or solutions in a timely matter. Being the grooms mom, and soon to have a new daughter, I wanted everything to be perfect and that's what they got, The Fairytale Wedding. Thank you Chelsea, you're the BEST! read more

KERRY:) Caleb and I and cassi can't even put into words how thankful we are for you and all of your hard work to make our day as perfect as could be. You saved us and took so much stress and worry off of all of our plates and made it all come together beautifully.. we had so much fun with you all the way through and we wish we could spend more time together.. I think the only thing we regret.. is not finding you sooner Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are so awesome and we were so blessed to work with you. read more

5 stars for day of/day before 2 stars for planning services TL;DR: We worked with Chelsea at Blue Sky, and while she did a great job on the day before/day of work, we had mismatched expectations for what a "full service" wedding planner should do, and therefore we weren't thrilled overall. More details: We were referred to Blue Sky by a friend and opted for them after a wonderful conversation with Kerry, and we chose the full service package since 1) we were planning a Squaw wedding while living in SF, and 2) we have demanding jobs and wanted to outsource some of the stress and logistics. There were a few areas where Chelsea was great: - Strong design sense. She helped us understand tradeoffs in everything from chair choices to linens, and we were happy with how everything from the welcome party to the reception turned out. - Solid wedding vendor connections. While she didn't always provide multiple options, most times she gave us 3 options for each vendor, and most of them were good. We ended up thrilled with our DJ and Photographer. - On top of the day before and day of management. The day before the wedding, we realized we left our marriage license at home. Within 30 minutes, Chelsea had found a notary public who was willing to whip us up a new license that night, at her house. Amazing! On the day of, Chelsea and her assistants had everything running smoothly, just as we had hoped for. Where we broke down was the mismatched expectations for "full service". Based on our sales conversations and discussions with other couples, we expected that paying a premium for full service would get us 3 benefits: 1) proactive, detail-oriented project manager 2) design support 3) experienced answers to all our wedding questions. Blue Sky did pretty well on 2 and 3, but we were disappointed with 1. One of the reasons we went with the full service option was to have someone to "do the worrying for us," but we instead found that we had to be on top of each item. For instance, we expected that we'd be reminded of upcoming or missed deadlines and dependencies for locking down the desserts bakery, ordering bridesmaid dresses/groomsmen suits, or getting invites out on time. (We weren't.) We also wanted to understand the overall flow of when each decision was required, and the time-consuming dependencies that come with it, and to have proactive sharing of details (such as understanding that wedding invites have multiple dependencies, like printing and shipping time, the time required to figure out our registry, and the complexities in finalizing the rehearsal dinner/ ceremony invite lists). (That didn't happen either.) And finally, we expected to have someone who would make sure nothing was dropped - for instance, following up to make sure we had started wedding dress shopping or confirmed the DJ, reviewing the food and beverage order for errors, or making sure that housing was moving (e.g. that Squaw had booked a room for us). (We had to do all of that, mostly without help.) Chelsea missed some basic checks, like the fact that the food order had all the wrong menu items. We ended up having to follow up with her directly on items that were on her plate, too, rather than the other way around - she seemed to struggle to keep up with her email inbox and to-do list. Timelines were also difficult - since Chelsea works events most Saturdays and Sun-Mon is her weekend, and understandably doesn't check email during those times, we would often do a bunch of our to-do's on Fridays or Saturdays and not hear back until Weds or Thurs of the following week, causing nearly a full week delay in progress on tasks where we needed to coordinate with her. As a result, we spent a lot of our wedding planning time worried about missing things until they were too late, and while Chelsea was helpful in having a couple email and phone conversations to reset expectations when we raised our concerns, we can't give a 5 star rating since we feel like we expected one thing when we signed the contract, and got something else. At the end of the day, our biggest takeaway is that "full service" doesn't mean "full project management" - there is a lot of self-management through to-do lists, worksheets, etc., and not much proactive sharing of "here's what's next" and "here's all the dependencies" as we'd expected. If we could do it all again, we would either find a different company and confirm whether their full service would be the proactive, "we don't let anything slip through the cracks" type of project manager that we wanted, or simply do a "30 days before + day of" arrangement with Blue Sky and go into wedding planning knowing that we had to do the lion's share of the planning and groundwork ourselves. read more

My Fiancee and I live 4 hours from Lake Tahoe but just KNEW we had to have our wedding there! We knew it would be hard to do a destination wedding so we decided to get a coordinator. We met with 3 or 4 other big companies South Lake has to offer before we met Kerry at a small coffee shop... In the first 3 minutes Dirk and I KNEW she would be our wedding coordinator no matter what the cost! Kerry is THE NICEST person I think I have ever professionally worked with. She is extremely Patient (Which is great since I often times had freak out sessions), ORGANIZED (which was incredible because I often lost count of money or accidentally deleted important emails), and most importantly- She has SUCH WONDERFUL ideas! I went to Kerry with little to no direction other than a few things because I had not been to many weddings and did not really know anything about them... She put us in touch with vendors who were professional, reasonably priced, and all of which turned out to be perfect for our personalities (even down to our florist, chefs, photographers, DJ, Minister, and stationary creator who were all able to *connect* with us on a personal level making the entire process THAT much more meaningful)! She helped me with ideas when I had none, and gave WONDERFUL suggestions when I requested them. Kerry grew to own our trust as we would send her checks for thousands of dollars requesting they be disbursed among vendors. She made EVERYTHING so easy! Kerry helped to explain things in a way that helped me understand the processes. I worked nights (7p-7a) so she really helped to work around my schedule (and helped the vendors work with it too!) even if it meant sometimes just communicating by email. The day I got married in my white dress when I looked at what she had created around me...I looked at Kerry and said "I fu*king LOVE IT...I don't know how I could have done ANY of this without you". Now that I am not so nervous I'd (with more class and less F bombs) also like to say "Thank you Kerry... You SERIOUSLY made my wedding day a fairytale... from start (18 months before the date) to finish July 24th, 2010...and the days after making sure everything was wrapped up." read more

Kerry and her team are impeccable! I hired Blue Sky as my day-of wedding coordinators. They streamlined my wedding and made my day awesome. I had planned 95% of my wedding, but realized about 1 month out that there were several moving parts to the day itself, and that I probably needed some help. Little did I know how crucial Blue Sky Events' services would be! Clutch perks: Planning - - Kerry met with me (on her day off, no less) and went through my wedding step by step. This made me aware of any holes in my plans, and with her experience and expertise we were able to tailor the day to exactly what I had envisioned. - Kerry and Allison, her assistant, were available and extremely responsive for a solid 3 1/2 weeks up until my wedding. - They took care of hiring, paying, and negotiating with vendors. - They got me some great last-minute deals with vendors they work with frequently. - Kerry and Allison directed my rehearsal and had an itinerary ready for all the VIPs, which made everyone in my wedding party familiar and at ease with what would occur. Day of - - Kerry and Allison were on-time, professional, stoked for the day (even though I'm sure they've done this a thousand times), and very perceptive to my needs. - They made sure everyone in the wedding party got to where they needed to be and with all the things they needed to have. -When it started raining, they had a plan B all set up - I am SO thankful they were there to keep things in check and to direct people. - The ceremony was delayed by 30 minutes and they negotiated with the venue and all the vendors for us to extend the party - which was AMAZING. - Throughout the event, they were helpful and responsive when the room was too hot, I had a "hair emergency," favors needed to be displayed, set up our sparkler exit, and made sure all personal items were attended to after the reception was over. All in all - they were calm, responsive, intuitive, positive, directed, not-too-pushy, personal, and reduced my stress level by 90%. AWESOME. read more

We were uncertain about hiring a full time planner for our wedding reception, but it turned out to be the best decision we made throughout the entire process. Many of our guests commented that this was the most enjoyable wedding they had been to, none of which would have been possible without Aimee. My husband and I have very little event planning experience and really had no idea what we were getting into. Aimee guided us through the process, giving advice and suggestions while also making sure that the end result was reflecting what we wanted (which Aimee also helped us discover). Aimee was completely open to some wacky ideas we had, including setting up a retro arcade that she managed to keep a surprise from our guests until we moved inside after an outside dinner. Not only was Aimee helpful in planning our wedding, but she ensured everything ran smoothly day of. We were so grateful that we could relax and enjoy the party we had spent months planning, knowing she had everything under control. We'd highly recommend Blue Sky Events to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the Tahoe area. read more

Kerry and the team are absolutely amazing at what they do. They handled everything so incredibly well. (plus she is an absolute joy to be around!) It was the best money we spent hiring Blue Sky events. We are from out of town and also had to go through postponing our wedding due to wildfires and Kerry did not skip a beat. Kerry is also well tapped into the wedding community and was very helpful to pull everything together with other vendors and venues. Her and her team thought of every detail. We couldn't have done it without them!! read more

So I'm here to tell you that no matter how organized you are, no matter how on your game you are in planning, you need a coordinator, and Kerry is an awesome choice. Having her run the rehearsal was a godsend--I think if I'd had to wrangle our wedding party and parents and officiant, I may have just called the whole thing off (okay, maybe not, but there DEFINITELY would have been tears). With Kerry there to run the show, everything went smoothly and we stayed right on schedule, but her sweet personality and warm demeanor kept everyone upbeat and excited about the next day. On the day of, Kerry's presence allowed us to really enjoy our day. When you spend a year or more planning an event, it's really nice to be able to actually experience what you've put together. I felt like everything went off without a hitch--it wasn't until right before my husband and I left the wedding site (Kerry had left after checking in with us one last time only minutes before) and had to deal with a shuttle driver who had miscommunicated with her boss and thought our shuttle stopped running at 10pm when in fact it was supposed to run until 1am, that I realized exactly HOW glad I was we had hired Kerry. Our wedding hadn't gone smoothly--we just hadn't had to deal with any of the obnoxious little "situations" because Kerry had intercepted and dealt with them before we even knew they existed. A great wedding planner will seem like she's not very busy because she is friendly, in control and organized even in the face of crisis. Kerry is all of these things and we were very happy to have her there on our wedding day. Hiring her allowed us to actually participate in our wedding as if we were guests. She even saved us a piece of our wedding cake since she knew that we probably wouldn't have a chance to eat it (we didn't). We would not have been able to truly relax and enjoy our day without her. read more

Working with Blue Sky Events was truly a pleasure and helped make my wedding day the best day of my life. Kerry and Julia are not only extremely fun and friendly, but are professional and really know their stuff about weddings! Blue Sky Events was my first hire once I got engaged. I knew that I would need the help of a wedding coordinator to organize a wedding in Lake Tahoe remotely from Los Angeles. Speaking to Kerry on the phone was great. She made sure she understood my vision of the wedding and made suggestions on how we could make it a reality. We decided that the day-of coordination would work out best for my needs and I could not be happier with the service! Even though it is a day-of coordination, it is much more than that. If I had any questions along the way, Kerry and her team were always available to take my calls and go the extra step. About 5 months before the wedding date my venue fell through and Blue Sky was there to the rescue. Kerry was very positive and helpful through the stressful process of finding a new venue that would fit 175 people! We were able to find a new venue, but one that would require a lot more rentals and vendors. Blue Sky was great about letting me know about the additional rentals I should be aware of and suggestions of people to contact. About a month out from the wedding day they sent me a few very helpful forms to make sure I was on track for the day to go smoothly. Julia was there for me to go over everything and together we went over all the important information for the day. The last couple weeks before the wedding, though I have heard that they are stressful for the bride, were relatively relaxed because I had the comfort of knowing that we had coordinators that had everything under control. The wedding day was a dream! Kerry and Julia were there to set up all of our decorations in the morning and make sure the caterers, DJ, band, photographers, photobooth were all there ready to go. If anything went wrong I was not aware of it. Julia and Kerry were both there to keep things moving along and making sure that all the guests were having a great time. Many of my friends and family say it was the best wedding they have attended. Bottom line- they gave a Type-A kind of bride, the peace of mind to fully enjoy her wedding day and not be worried about the little details. Their coordination service is more than worth it and I would highly recommend Blue Sky Events to anyone looking to have a dream wedding in the Tahoe area. Thank you so much Kerry and Julia for all of your hard work! read more

So, I was a guy who never thought I would get married, something my wife & I shared. So, when we found each other and got engaged, we both had thoughts on what we might like, and agreed we should plan it together. However, as a couple who never thought they would ever get married, and planning a destination wedding in Lake Tahoe as a bonus, we knew going into it that we needed a wedding coordinator. Kerry Hawk and her team from BlueSky Events, was nothing short of AMAZING! First, her contract is simple and straightforward, a flat fee for her services depending on the level of service you want (we chose the full package) - unlike the other coordinators we spoke to who were very 'line item' - where they would charge per call or email, or would do this but not that. After signing, since we were in LA - Kerry instantly swung into action. Since we didn't know what we wanted per se, other than the wedding to be very 'Tahoe-esque' (read: outdoors and pretty), she patiently guided us through things we should consider helped us put pictures and words to our very vague vision. Next, she advised that we head up to do vendor searches and look for a venue. She smartly advised we head up early to get the pick of the vendors and venues. Then, she setup a packed but not stressful weekend with several options for venues, and at least two choices for every major vendor. Surprisingly to us, on our first (and only) trip, we found the venue, and not only did we choose her top pick for virtually every vendor, but the vendors she chose were nothing short of spectacular the day of. That visit alone made her fee worthwhile! Not to mention that we didn't have to keep going to visit, something the budget really couldn't accommodate. My wife only had to go up one additional time for hair / make-up trials which, once again was a smashing success. Then, over the next year and a half, she patiently guided us through a process where we had to balance a conservative budget (we were paying for it), but also wanted the wedding to be very personalized and 'us'. She helped us from everything to colors and linens choices, save the date and wedding invitation wordings, party favors, and wedding etiquette. She even helped us find a custom made Chuppah when all we could say to the ones that we were seeing were, 'something isn't quite right'. But you probably want to know about the day of right? It is the most important part after all. Now, even though it's traditional for the groom to say that it's a very low stressful day and he has nothing to do, that was the case but really because there was nothing to do - for my wife or me! The day was planned perfectly. The rehearsal the day prior was quick and efficient, and the timeline was worked out well in advance. We each got ready, the photographer and videographer met us at our respective locations, and then we got to the ceremony site (separately) - and all we had to do was get married. She effortlessly coordinated all the vendors, and NOT ONE item fell through the cracks! Not one! Every simple touch we asked for (and we had a few) was made and carried out, not only adding to how impressed we were with her, but which made the wedding 'us'. Were they necessary, no - were they appreciated and made the day that much more special? - Absolutely! Even something as stupid as making sure the venue served two bottles of Moscato d'Asti instead of champagne to our table (since we're not champagne people). She even made sure that when we got back to the reception hall after the ceremony and pictures, that there was a plate of appetizers just for us (since we wouldn't get to eat any during the cocktail hour), water, and then - wait for it - even made sure we got a drink from the bar! Full service with a bride and grooms needs in mind indeed! But if I had to really pick out one thing I will remember the most - was finding out later that once the ceremony was in the hands of the officiant, she didn't even see it. Why you ask? Well, we got married on a very upscale and expensive golf course and technically - we weren't allowed to stop golfers from riding through. Apparently, there was a bunch of very not-so-considerate golfers who were about to ride through. She single-handedly prevented that by simply standing at the edge of the service road that ran through the ceremony, and TALKED the angry golfers down. How? By asking about their wedding! By the end of the evening, my entire family (existing and new-in-laws) knew her by name and loved her. At the reception, multiple guests came up to me and not only commented on how beautiful the wedding was, but also took the time to mention Kerry (BY NAME!) and say how fantastic a job she did, how smoothly the wedding went, and how our wedding was the one and only wedding they'd all been too, where not one thing went wrong. Very true. Thanks to Kerry and BlueSky, our special day - was infinitely more special, and she was an integral reason why! read more

Our wedding simply would not have been possible had it not been for Blue Sky Events and Lindsey, our incredible planner. She was helpful, organized, calm, and thoughtful at every step of the process. I instantly felt my stress level go down every time I talked to Lindsey. She completely understood our vision for our wedding and made sure every detail was just right. Our venue had some challenges (like an oven that didn't really work!) but I barely knew there were any issues because Lindsey just handled everything. From my first call with Kerry, I could tell that Blue Sky Events was a great company and that they would have really great planners working with them but Lindsey completely exceeded my expectations. If I was planning another event in the Tahoe area, I would hire Blue Sky again in a heartbeat! read more

Melissa and Kerry helped us with our wedding and they are outstanding! I have to say that we underestimated the work that goes into putting a wedding together but our wedding was so seamless and successful and fun- all because they paid close attention to detail and our requests. Our one complaint is that we found their planning pod to be useless and ineffective, in that the knot.com does a much better job streamlining everything, sending reminders and utilizing the address book as a way to set up seating etc. Some of the paperwork were also a bit too redundant, irrelevant to us and tedious for our liking, but those are minor compared to the job they did. They listened to the overall vision and although I know I can be quite intense and difficult, Kerry and Melissa were ALWAYS gracious and sweet. We live in New York and realized rather quickly that we can't plan a wedding in Tahoe without knowing anyone there. Seems to us that there's a bit of a monopoly in the wedding business there, but it's understandable, given that locals should help each other out. After Melissa went on maternity leave, Kerry did everything she can to make sure our wedding went smoothly and yet, you never really noticed her and her assistant (we forgot her name )...as if they were the puppet masters planning a successful puppet show and we were the puppets. Nonetheless, after the jitters of ceremony was done, we had a lot of fun at our wedding, which we hear is a rarity. And to that, we owe Blue Sky Events a big thank you :) read more

Blue Sky Events and Kerry Hawk are great! We had the pleasure to work with Kerry at a wedding earlier this summer. Everything about her work was professional and easy. Long before the wedding Kerry would call to discuss things she and the bride had discussed about the wedding. The weeks before the wedding Kerry started to send out the itinerary. When we discussed it we found that there could be some small adjustments that would help benefit the wedding and photos. She would immediately make the adjustments and get them out to all the vendors and the couple. By the day of the wedding we were all very prepared, and everything fell into place. Im sure Kerry was behind the scenes pulling the strings to make sure everything went off without a hitch, but from the vantage point of the bride and myself, everything happened easily and on time. That is a great testament to how much good work Kerry did. The wedding couple and myself enjoyed a very busy, yet easy going wedding. In the end everyone at the wedding had a great time, the bride and groom were on top of the world, and we got all of the photos we had hoped for. The bride and groom are now very happy with our work, and it is largely due to the great work Kerry with Blue Sky Events did before and during the wedding. I highly recommend Kerry and Blue Sky Events. read more

I couldn't have done my wedding without Chelsea and Melissa!! From finding a wedding location to clean up, they were very patient with me and listened to all my whims and wishes. They really know their stuff. When I send them the pictures of items I want, they right away know which vendor to contact. Chelsea and Melissa also has a great communication skill. I always know when they will be office and when they will not. If they are in the office, I get a response usually within a couple hours. I forgot to pack a couple of personal items after the wedding. Chelsea found them while cleaning up and she mailed it to me. If you are getting married in Tahoe, I strongly recommend Blue Sky Events!! read more

Chelsea and Lindsay from Blue Sky were my Month-of/day-off coordinators for my wedding in September in the Sierras. I mainly worked with Chelsea on the planning bits and she was phenomenal. It helped that she'd been to my venue quite a few times for other weddings and knew the owners son. She had no trouble trekking to the venue while it was snowing and was SO flexible morning of when someone in my bridal party didn't show up. She took my vision and made it a reality. I wish I could have seen them more working on the day of but they were like ninjas! Nothing went unnoticed, nothing went wrong. Lindsay was a smiling beacon on the day of, helping me in and out of the car with my dress and wrangling groomsmen. Kerry (owner) is also amazing and I was so glad to meet her during a venue open house and she really has a passion for making your special day stress free and exactly how you want it. I highly recommend this business, they're reasonably priced and worth every penny. read more

Kerry Hawk from Blue Sky events was our wedding planner for a Tahoe wedding in the summer of 2014. We were departing from some wedding traditions and were concerned about a wedding planner having a hard time doing non traditional things. Kerry was the opposite... she was expert at finding ways to make the non traditional things happen... and in the end we realized that everyone departs from tradition in some ways and Kerry is expert at facilitating it. Kerry was very good at listening too us and interpreting what we were looking for. She is very good at giving gentle feedback when we had silly ideas that needed to be modified. She was extremely diplomatic in dealing with opinionated family members in a way that took heat off of us. She was never flustered, she exuded calm at all times. She went the EXTRA mile. We had an order of hundreds of drinking jars not show up so Kerry went out and bought mason jars at a craft store in South Lake Tahoe before coming up to coordinate our wedding. Amazing. I can't imagine a better wedding planner. Our wedding would not have been as smooth without someone as expert as Kerry. I'd recommend her to anyone, but particularly to someone concerned that a wedding planner would make their wedding a more typical one. read more

We would not have been able to pull off our wedding without Chelsea from Blue Sky Events. We planned our wedding in Lake Tahoe from across the country and while we could do a lot of the research and emailing ourselves, having someone local was invaluable. We didn't have the budget to have someone plan all the details of the wedding, but Blue Sky Events let us choose a plan where we could have a few hours with Chelsea before the wedding to review our vendor choices, have her create a detailed itinerary for the wedding day, and also be physically present the day-of to meet the vendors and make sure things went smoothly. Having someone local review our vendors and make suggestions for people to contact gave us confidence that we weren't missing any red flags and having someone there to orchestrate the day meant that our friends and family could fully enjoy the wedding. Thanks Chelsea! read more

I can not say enough good things about blue sky events and about Aimee. Hiring them for my wedding was absolutely the best money I have ever spent! They helped with every detail, kept me on track the whole time throughout the year I was planning, coordinated with all the vendors, helped organize the entire day and helped put together my DREAM wedding. Aimee was always professional, responsive and extremely helpful. Having blue sky events as my wedding planner took so much stress and worry away from me, I recommend them highly!! read more

Our planner Melissa Hoffman deserves 10 STARS! My husband and I can't thank Melissa enough for helping to make our wedding day unforgettable and flow seamlessly. We planned our Lake Tahoe wedding in August from Maryland with the help of Melissa, and we can honestly say that she is excellent. My husband and I hired Melissa for the full planning experience, so we had the benefit of her expertise for the entire 9 months of planning. We would have routine conference calls and exchange emails weekly, so communication was easy. Melissa provided excellent recommendations for vendors that would fit our style and budget. We found some amazing people through her, like our cake girl, Sarah, our amazing photographers Monique and Scott, our reverend Ron, and our florist. Melissa worked closely with our floral/décor vendor to make sure that she understood the look we were going for, and it turned out beautifully. Melissa is a very positive person and instantly makes you feel at ease and comfortable like you've known her for years, and at the same time she grounded us- sometimes my husband and I would freak out and we would e-mail Melissa or call her and she would make us feel more calm and assure us that we were in the right direction. When our wedding day finally came, everyone around me kept saying on how calm I was. I attribute that 100% to Melissa - because I had full trust in her to execute all of the details (and she was 8 months pregnant). Not only did she execute ...she went above and beyond our expectations. Hiring Melissa was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. We HIGHLY recommended and trust Melissa for any wedding. She is an incredibly organized, resourceful, creative, and wonderful person. Thank you!! read more

We are still floating above the clouds in the dreamy BLUE SKY from our perfect wedding. We wanted our day to be intimate and magical. It was everything we hoped for and more. We had only been to Lake Tahoe a few times and when we decided to get married in that spiritual place, I began researching wedding planners. Blue Sky was raved about over and over. Kerry and Lindsey are legends of Lake Tahoe events. Our vision was an extremely small wedding and I was not sure they would take on something so low key compared to all the extravaganza weddings and events they do. To our joy they took our tiny event and made it the wedding of our dreams. Lindsey. Lindsey. Lindsey. Also known as The Wedding Fairy Godmother exceeds all the fabulous reviews written about her. She listened to my vision, asked tons of questions, sent pictures, emailed and phoned and was always tweaking and perfecting. We live in another state and didn't arrive until two days before the wedding. She handled everything and left us to thoroughly enjoy this special time without an ounce of stress. She planned, coordinated, and confirmed it all down to the smallest detail. My Wedding Fairy Godmother granted every wish with creativity and passion. It sounds cliché but it's absolutely the truth: It was the best day of our lives. We are forever grateful. Thank you, Lindsey. Thank you, Kerry. Thank you, Blue Sky. read more
