The experience my husband and I had at The Entertainer left us a little frustrated unfortunately. The Pros: Angelina and her husband are just the kindest people ever. My mother in law and I met them at one of the wedding shows and we are so glad that we did. They had everything imaginable to plan the wedding of your dreams. Anything from wine barrels, lanterns, etc. Her husband was even so kind and made a wine riddling rack for me to rent to fit the theme of our vineyard wedding. It was perfect! If you're getting married in that area, the price was right for delivery. The prices were also right for rentals as well, I didn't feel as if I were paying an arm and a leg for my items. The Cons: This part disappointed me a little. The communication was a little off. It started out strong with Angelina, and as it got a little closer to the wedding, things changed and the communication was not impressing. I know that wedding season is in full swing and I understand, but I was no longer hearing from Angelina, but from someone she had hired for help- which is fine don't get me wrong! I just wish that since she had been helping me to begin with, that she would've continued helping me through the end since she understood my needs. As I was responding to the new person who was helping me, I still had a lot of questions and last minute items I wanted added on. Although she shortly answered my questions, the "So can we process your payment then?" question really bothered me. I wanted to add more items on, and I felt as if I was being rushed. My final payment was due June 5th, and I had been asking to add a few items on June 1st. They already had my deposit so I was unsure what the rush was on my final payment. I had even wanted to pay to add set up.. my questions were never answered via e-mail. So maybe a day or two before the wedding my husband called to follow up and was told, "Oh yeah we saw your email." Ok then why didn't you respond...? They told him they were very busy... I get that... but if you can't respond to an email then maybe call your customer? They ended up calling me back later that day, but I don't think I would've gotten a call if it weren't for my husband checking up on things. We received our items the day before our wedding and everything was there on time and accounted for except the natural wood topper we had asked for. It was VERY small (maybe 2 ft by 2 ft, I had never even seen it before) and wasn't going to work for a dessert buffet... I made the decision the day before the wedding to keep it, although I was very unhappy. The morning of the wedding I saw how it was set up with the 4- tier wood topper we rented and I was absolutely disappointed. My husband and I decided to call and get it taken care of and the person who had been responding my emails was actually the one who took care of my call. She was very nice about it and accommodating, but no apology for the wrong item was received. My husband and his best man had to drive the morning of the wedding from Genoa to Gardnerville to switch out the table topper. Upon arrival, the gal who took my call argued with my husband, stating that I picked out the topper they delivered. First of all I didn't, I had never even seen the one they delivered before, and second of all, she wasn't even there when we picked out our items so how would she know? When ,my husband and I were there picking out items with Angelina, we pointed out the one we wanted and she took note. I am totally understanding of mistakes cause we are all human, but don't tell my husband and I that we picked that item when you weren't even there. No apology to boot! In the end it was resolved. Fortunately it fit in my husband's car... The day after the wedding was a little hectic. They came to pick up first thing in the morning which was fine. Whether it was my fault or if I should've been there for pick up I don't know. I assumed they would have a list of things that they would be picking up but I guess I was wrong. Upon pick up, they took some of my personal décor as well as some that belonged to another vendor. Again, not the end of the world. My coordinator was able to call and talk to Angelina and we had them redelivered back- no problem. My only concern was how come they didn't have a list of items being picked up? So everything was great up until the very end. Would I recommend this vendor? Absolutely. In my opinion, communication and organization was lacking.

This review is a little overdue, but it's 6 months after our wedding and we are still so glad we found Angelina. I could give 10 stars and it still wouldn't be enough to describe how amazing she was to work with. I don't know how she does it, but her attentiveness and responsiveness made it seem like the only thing going on in her life was our wedding (which I know certainly isn't the case!). She help us put together our vision and provided information on everything she knew from experience throughout the entire planning process pretty much from Day 1. Despite all the craziness that happened the days leading up to the wedding and the wedding itself, we could not have asked for a better execution. Our wedding had a LOT of moving parts to it and to say Angelina was the glue that held it all together is like saying Mike Tyson punches like a... Gummy bear... I'm sure he punches harder, just like Angelina is so much more than the glue. Most weddings probably weren't like ours, where plan A went to plan B and then to plan C and probably D and E that Angelina kind of came up with on the fly.. We had an indoor/outdoor venue in Tahoe and anyone who lives in this area probably knew about the fires/storms that came through in October 2016.. Well, because of this, the wedding plans were changing up until the DAY OF the wedding, but Angelina kept her cool and rolled with all the punches mother nature had to dish out that day... In this case she really did make Tyson seem like a gummy bear. Our venue was in the "danger zone" - the day before our wedding all roads leading up to it were closed due to fires, and the site itself was at risk. Our rehearsal had to be relocated which is a completely separate crazy story by itself, but she spent all her resources that day trying to find us a backup venue in case our original, well, burned down. Having secured a couple potential options, but with a very tight decision schedule, we decided to pass on them and pray and hope our original location held up - which it did! I wouldn't doubt if Angelina prayed harder than all of us that day, hah! Through this entire time, she was in contact with all of our vendors (something like 7 or 8?) to notify them of the possible change in plans and to coordinate new times and locations with each of them... We did eventually get to our venue and it was still there (yay!), but the rain and wind was still going on and our setup had to change completely that day, which affected the flow and timeline of the entire wedding (hence plan D and E that Angelina just kind of came up with). Sparing the details, at the end of the night, our wedding was absolutely PERFECT. I would not have traded any of it for our original plan. The experience, excitement, and volatility all made this wedding the most memorable wedding in history and made for one of the most epic photos ever to boot! And NONE of it would have been possible without Angelina. Just end your research here and give her a call - She's quite simply the best choice you'll ever make for your wedding... Aside from the person you're marrying, I hope.

Angelina was our wedding coordinator but she really ended up being so much more! She ordered all of the linens, coordinated all the rental drop offs and pick-ups, and spoke to all of our venues and vendors ahead of time AND went through all of our contracts. I'm sure she did far more than that, too. We wrestled with the idea of working with a coordinator or if we could handle it on our own, but now I do not see how I could have ever made it through the day of the wedding without Angelina. Planning a destination wedding is stressful enough, but when you are trying to work with vendors and venue coordinators on the same day that you are meeting them, it can be overwhelming. Luckily, Angelina knew where all our vendors were at all times and made sure that everyone was on task. It did not feel like we were working with a wedding venue, reception venue, photographer, florist, DJ, and photobooth, instead Angelina made it feel like they were just one big team. We cannot stress enough how much of a relief it was to see her handling all the phone calls on our wedding day and the confidence she gave us that everything was going to work out exactly as we wanted. She directed everyone and really took charge to make the day run as planned. We had our ceremony and reception in two different locations, one being on top of a mountain where you have to ride a gondola, (seems so complicated!) but she made sure the transition from ceremony to reception was seamless. Everything was set up even more beautifully than I could have imagined. I was in awe walking into both sites for the first time seeing everything set up. It was just perfect! We also rented some items from her warehouse. If we were local we would have planned our entire wedding off of their inventory. They have décor for every theme you can think of, those details that really can make an event. If you're looking for your day to be perfect too, then don't hesitate to go with the Tahoe Entertainer! You will not be disappointed !

The Entertainer did an amazing job helping me with my wedding preparations. Angelina was helpful, patient, kind, and creative! She had the experience that I lacked when it came to specific details that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. Because I rented all my items from them and had Angelina do day-of coordination, she knew my vision and made everything absolutely seamless! She handed us waters or drinks when we were empty-handed, checked on us constantly, made sure we got enough food, and ensured that all things were being handled. Angelina helped us stick to our schedule but wasn't rigid. She helped guide the evening while keeping it personable and flowing to our liking. She made the day 100% stress-free. Thank you for everything!
