Right when I met Jessica for the free consultation, I immediately liked her. She was professional,…read morekind, personable and made you feel comfortable about the whole wedding plannning process. Jessica is very organized, detailed oriented and knowledgeable about everything wedding that she made the whole wedding planning thing seem easy! My fiance and I were so impressed after the initial consultation and knew we had to have her as our planner. Right after we booked OUATE, my fiance and I had a meeting with Jessica and basically told her everything we wanted, what we didn't want and what we dreamed of having but didn't think we could afford. She also had us fill out a questionnaire to get a sense of our style, get to know us and get an idea of what we envision for our dream wedding. After reviewing everything we gave her, she created a design board with everthing we had talked about. I loved how we got to go thourgh and point out what we liked and what we didn't like. This gave us a great sense of what our wedding was going to look like. Since I had a very hard time picking a theme and staying with that direction, this really helped me get on track and focus on one thing at a time. This also really helped me stop stressing and feeling overwhelmed and let me enjoy the wedding planning process. As a bride, I knew I wanted to be involved in the fun stuff but not the boring, budget related stuff. Jessica was amazing at handling all the stuff I didn't want to do or did not know how to do. We gave her our total budget and she planned around that very well and helped us stay on track. She also did all of the orders (which were a ton since we had our wedding at private estate and had to bring everything in) and delt with the most of our vendors. She has a great working relationship with a ton of wedding vendors in Reno that she was able to get things done and get them done fast! And she had wonderful recommendations for our wedding vendors. We loved them all! During the whole wedding planning process Jessica and her sister, Cassie kept us on track and made sure we were getting things done when they needed to be done. I loved how they took all of my ideas and wishes and made them happen without any questions. The whole time, they were professional but so nice and fun to work with! It made wedding planning a lot of fun! The day of the wedding, I had absolutley nothing to worry about. I sat in the house and got ready while Jessica, Cassie and her team set everything up and dealt with all the vendors. The wedding was not too big but the whole production of it was a lot! We had a ton of flowers, a fire pit, a dessert bar, photo booth, a lounge and a ton of details such a signage and personalized items. Jesssica and her team were so organized and executed everything PERFECTLY! It was above and beyond anything I had even imagined. They took my vision to the next level and made it better than I could had ever wished for. Jessica and Cassie kept the wedding on track the whole night and everything went off witthout a hitch. My husband and I nor our wedding party or family had to lift a finger, it was amazing! We got to spend our time enjoying ourselves while OUATE delt with everything else. Jessica, Cassie and the entire OUATE team are amazing!! They made planning our wedding an absolute joy and I would HIGHLY recommend them for wedding and party planning. If I plan another event you can be sure I will be booking Jessica and her team to help

After watching many friends try to pull off a wedding without a planner (Think: inclement weather,…read moretiming for the processional, speeches, food prep, cake, etc) and really have some details go wrong, we were pretty adamant on hiring help for our big day. And it made ALL of the difference! Our wedding went off without a hitch. Here are some examples of how well Forget Me Knot Events came in to help throughout the planning and the big day: --"Sounding Board" hours. We purchased time to consult with Allison on details months before. Each piece of advice came from tons of experience and expertise. She guided us toward and away aspects that were best for us. --Meeting us at the venue to look for possible ideas, flow of the event, seating charts, etc. Plus advice for day of set up. --A 'ring blessing,' an important, yet difficult-to-coordinate ritual of passing our rings around on a ribbon pre-ceremony. This turned out to be a beautiful, unifying aspect of the day that couldn't have been pulled off with our coordinator --Since my husband and I couldn't be dragged from the dance floor to cut the cake, our coordinator had the great, spontaneous idea to have our brother (baker of the cake) bring it to us on the dance floor. We now have these fun, silly photos of us feeding each other while dancing, something many guests thought was a rehearsed performance but was actually just a wonderful spur-of-the-moment event! --Our day of coordinator brought us drinks and food, ensuring that we ate. She checked in with us frequently on what we needed, how the flow of the evening was going, etc. I highly recommend this artful, creative company for your wedding planning needs. Hand over the stress of something you'll just do for one day to an organization that does it nearly everyday!

Seeing as our venue was providing the catering and most of the decor, we decided to hire a month-of…read morecoordinator instead of a planner for our wedding. We found Forget Me Knot Events and Design on WeddingWire and were impressed by their reviews. Upon reaching out, Allison responded immediately to provide more information on their different services and what to expect with each. She was very responsive to all our questions and her communication skills were exactly what we were looking for as our wedding day wrangler. With the services that we went with, most of the magic started a little over a month before our actual wedding day. Allison collected all our vendor contracts and worked in parallel with our venue event coordinator to ensure that no detail was missed in the planning process. She created our wedding day timeline and communicated with all our vendors directly to make sure everyone was on the same page. Allison reminded us about items we had overlooked and continued to stay in close contact with us leading up to the big day. In addition to running our rehearsal, Allison and her assistant Lindsey were present for our entire wedding day. They worked seamlessly with all our vendors in the set-up of our decor and made sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule. I was able to enjoy the celebration without any worries since I knew they would be able to handle anything that came up. At the end of the night, they helped transport all our decor back to our suite so we would not have to worry about moving it ourselves. Allison's attention to detail and communication skills are truly exceptional. We cannot thank Forget Me Knot enough for their help throughout the entire wedding planning process. It was truly a stress-free experience!

If you're a bride reading this, know this, your DJ can make or ruin your reception or they can make…read moreit just average. And don't get me wrong, an average reception isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a wonderful wedding reception is a wonderful thing. When your guests are dancing to beat the band at the end of the evening, when they don't wanna go home, cuz it seems like the fun's never gonna stop, when that happens you know you had a great DJ or DJs as far as Katie and Matt are concerned, cuz you get two for the price of one. Vesta and I have photographed a lotta weddings and wedding receptions and we've seen our fair share of DJs and Katie and Matt are among the best in Reno. And they're fun people too. So, you can't go wrong with them. And it's really nice when your DJ is personable, friendly and actually cares about the bride and groom and their guests. And it's really nice when they keep the reception rolling along the way it's supposed too. Vesta and I photographed one wedding where the DJ forgot the bouquet and garter toss. Another where the DJ didn't do the bouquet toss till after most people had gone home, cuz he was so boring and there were only two girls left to catch the flowers. We've worked with Katie and Matt twice and both times they steered the reception along without issue, while staying in tune with the bride and her wishes, even though her wishes may change throughout the evening. Like us, Katie and Matt put the bride first. They are there to do a job and they work for the same person we do, the bride. Her wishes come first. It's her wedding, her special day. Not all DJs know this. Sadly, neither do all photographers. We know it and one of the reasons we like working with Katie and Matt so much is because they know it too. PS. In the photos I've attached to this review, I've included photographs of Katie and Matt, photos of them working and photos of dancers enjoying their work.

Through staff changes, venue rule changes, and the ongoing ups and downs associated with the pandemic, the Red Carpet team was right by our side, every step of the way. From the beginning we felt their professionalism and dedication to trying their very best to execute our vision for our multiple days of events. Lake Tahoe rustic and Indian wedding aren't usually themes that go together, but the RC team created a gorgeous storyboard for us after our first couple phone calls that served as the guiding force behind everything we subsequently created together. From regular phone calls and emails, to meeting us at our venue's tasting event with examples of our centerpieces and linens....the RC team went above and beyond to help us feel held during what was an amazingly stressful time in our lives given wedding planning plus the uncertainty of everything on a week to week basis. The decor of your wedding really can do some much for the mood and experience of your guests and we are so happy we invested in working with Red Carpet to create the most incredibly dreamy and magical ambiance for all of our events. Special shout out to Emily whose kindness, attentiveness, and sense of humor especially carried me through those last couple months of planning and reorientation around ever-changing protocols and guest counts!!
