Where to even start. Matt and I had a perfect wedding thanks to Epic Thyme. Truly couldn't have asked for a better wedding planning experience - their experience helped us land every little detail we never would have thought of or been capable of on our own. Their communication, support, expertise, and positivity through every step of the process was unmatched. We will sing their praises forever - don't miss out on the best wedding experience possible with Epic Thyme!

Christi and Epic Thyme are the best! When we first reached out to Christi, we still hadn't decided on the location for our destination wedding. It didn't matter, because after one conversation we knew immediately that Christi was the wedding planner we needed in our lives. She was personable, professional, organised, helpful, creative, knowledgeable, chill -- literally everything you could hope for when planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic and from afar. Christi was so good at listening to both of our ideas and using her own planning and design expertise to essentially 10x every idea we had. I am honestly amazed by how she was able to transform our ideas and a few of our favorite Pinterest pins into something so amazing. It was such a relief to be able to hand project management of all wedding things over to Christi, so my husband and I could have time for some of the other planning tasks and also focus on other things. When we had to make the difficult decision to cut our guest count to comply with local pandemic guidelines, Christi helped us to tweak the details of the weekend to create a really fun, intimate event. We had such an amazing weekend with our families. We loved working with Christi and would recommend Epic Thyme hands down to any couple that needs help planning their wedding in Lake Tahoe and beyond. Christi, thanks again for helping us put together the perfect wedding weekend with our family. It was better than we ever could have imagined.

When my wife and I began our wedding planning process, we tried to do many of the tasks by ourselves. Initially we made some headway, but as things got more and more complicated we realized we needed help; we never would have achieved our goals without Christi's hard work! Once we brought Christi on as our planner she helped us fine-tune our vision for the wedding, and kept us on task to make sure everything was in order. There were so many details that we never would have thought of! Additionally, the day-of coordination was absolutely worth it; everything went smoothly and allowed us (and all our family) to actually enjoy ourselves. Christi's extensive experience and work ethic was invaluable.

Christi and the Epic Thyme team were an absolute pleasure to work with! We had monthly check-in calls with Christi to ensure that we were on track with our planning. She is such an awesome person too and we always looked forward to laughing on zoom with Christi every month. She did an absolutely fantastic job making sure we didn't miss a beat with our planning and helping to make our dream and vision come to life. She offers a variety of planning packages depending on what you need, which was great. We are out of state, so it was wonderful to have someone local to help with some of the research. Our wedding went without a hitch, and the few things that did occur Christi did a great job of resolving so that we could focus on enjoying our big day. I can't recommend them more for your wedding planning and day-of coordination.

Epic Thyme truly enabled us to have the wedding of our dreams. I couldn't recommend hiring Christi and team more! We found Epic Thyme accidently after I had scrubbed the internet near and far for different wedding venues in California. I had a particular vision in mind and was having trouble finding a venue that would deliver what I wanted. I then somehow stumbled on the Epic Thyme Instagram and there it was. My perfect venue =Basecamp Tahoe South. Outdoors, woodsy, laid back but still elevated, romantic, and easily accessible to out of town travelers. After finding Basecamp I knew we owed Epic Thyme a call since it was her Instagram to lead us to this awesome find. During our initial call with Christi it was truly love at first sight. Christi was so lovely, she is the perfect balance of professional and knowledgeable but also endearing and laid back. Having all of Epic Thyme's knowledge at our fingertips led us to having so much more than we would have been able to imagine on our own. Who knew you could hire a dog handler who specialized in weddings! Christi did! Who knew you could find a videographer that only shoots footage and doesn't edit! Christi did! Their fee's nearly paid for themselves if you factor in all the negotiation Christi did with our vendors. On top of that, we knew we would have the best team of vendors because Christi had worked with them in the past and knew which vendors best suited our style, venue and budget. I am a very organized person however sometimes get overwhelmed in situations of stress. Having Christi and team fully enabled me to enjoy not only the day of the wedding but the whole planning process. By the end, Epic Thyme felt like part of the fam. Thank you so much for being a part of this special moment and making it more than I could have ever planned on my own. We are really grateful to you!

We are BEAMING writing this review for Epic Thyme. Christi, Monique and Dani planned and ran our wedding in June 2023 at the North Lake Tahoe Event Center, and it was truly EPIC! Epic Thyme did it all - they are amazing at designing a wedding that fits your vibe and budget (down to the tiniest details), project/vendor manage-ing the planning and day-of execution of realizing that vibe, and considering your and your guests' experience throughout the day so the wedding goes off without a hitch. They're professional, structured, highly communicative, and on top of all of that, they're the most fun!! They'll be the first person at the venue the day of the wedding (and the day before!), and the last to leave, and they brought so much positive energy, good vibes and smiles on the wedding day and the 9+ months in planning! The team really goes above and beyond for their clients, and we're so immensely thankful we had the chance to work with them to plan the party of a lifetime.

See all

I can't say enough good things about Gianna!!!!! Planning a wedding requires making about a…read morethousand decisions, and hiring Gianna was our best one by FAR! First, every single vendor Gianna recommended to us ended up being amazing. DJ? Best we've ever seen! Caterer? Best we've ever tasted! She has incredible connections with the best of the best in and around Nevada County, and those positive relationships went a long way throughout the planning process. Second, Gianna is an absolute gem. She's warm and kind but she tells it like it is. I have never felt so confident in a professional's ability to get their job done. She executed everything for our wedding to a T and it ended up being one of the absolute best days of our lives. You could not be putting your big day in more capable hands. Thank you Gianna!!!!

I wanted to make sure I had her support in making our vibe come alive for our wedding and I am so glad I did! From the moment we started planning our wedding, Gianna was nothing short of amazing. Her expertise, creativity, and calming presence made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She truly understood our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Every detail, from the décor to the timeline, was handled with perfection, and we were able to fully enjoy our special day knowing everything was in her capable hands. Gianna's communication was excellent, and she was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and reassure us when needed (like when my husband decided to buy a suit in a color that was not even in our color pallet or when the linen vendor discontinued the color tablecloths I wanted). Whether it was coordinating vendors, designing beautiful spaces, or helping us navigate last-minute changes, she did it all with professionalism and grace. NUMEROUS guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and our friends still talk about it. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day truly unforgettable, look no further. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Gianna to anyone looking for a top-notch event planner!

Donna is by far the best coordinator any girl could ask for! Let me try to explain how amazing of a…read morejob she did by telling you about the unforeseen circumstances of our perfect wedding. We decided to have our ceremony overlooking Lake Tahoe with our reception in Incline Village, both venues outside with little to no coverage. During Septemeber, the weather is known for being nice, however, two days before our wedding it snowed and day temperatures were down to 45ºF. I was in a panic because changing your wedding, TWO DAYS BEFORE that date is wedding suicide. I guess the risk comes with the mountain territory. Donna was a champ and used her creativity and endless effort for your happiness, and arranged a new reception venue and turned it into something magical. She, last minute, arranged hot cider, coffee and tea to be served during the ceremony (we did not change that venue due to its importance) and did many other small touches that made a large impact. So why do I recommend Donna? Because at the end of the day you need someone who not only has your interest at heart but has the creativity and passion to make any scenario amazing. She turned a ski lodge bar into a gorgeous mountain retreat! Her pricing is low for all the sweat and creativity she puts into it. Thank you Donna for rolling with the mountain punches and handling it like boss! You are amazing and I hope to use you again for other celebrations!

Hire Donna to plan your wedding!!!! She is absolutely wonderful…read more We hired her as our full time planner as soon as we picked a venue that was in the middle of a meadow with nothing else around it. We needed EVERYTHING brought in to the venue for the big day. Donna didn't skip a beat and found us the best vendors to work with for all of our needs, from bathrooms to DJs. I can't stress how important it is to work with a wedding planner that has a great vendor book - she saved us so much time and energy by giving us a few great options for every vendor that we needed to hire. And every vendor that we picked were great to work with - huge thanks to Donna. Planning a wedding is not easy, but she made the process as painless as it could be. She is truly kind, patient, dedicated & hard-working. We always felt like she had our best interest at heart and that she was constantly looking for ways to make sure our day was personalized to us and went off without a hitch. Above and beyond! The day ran so smoothly, all thanks to Donna. We couldn't have asked for a better planner!!!

My husband and I got married at Empire Mines on the 14th of August. If it weren't for Dyane and…read moreJeff my wedding day would have never come to fruition. From the first moment I met them for a consultation to the last moment when the lights came on after our last dance at the wedding they were there every step of the way. My husband and I live in Long Beach Ca. and having our wedding in Grass Valley turned out to be a daunting task to execute. So we decided to hire a day of coordinator. We chose Dyane and Jeff for their expertise and experience. Not to mention we clicked right away and I felt completely comfortable in their presence. The overwhelming task of planning a wedding from a fare lessened once my husband and I chose Dyane and Jeff. Let me just say that they go above and beyond what a day of event planner typically handles. They contacted all of our vendors for us multiple times leading up to the wedding insuring everyone was on the same page. They have worked many weddings at the Mines so they are familiar with the rules and regulations that come with having a wedding in a State Park. I brought a lot of DIY stuff and only having 2 hours to set up was daunting task but they handled it to a T. This was because there were multiple e mails and phone calls leading up to the big day. Once again going above and beyond for being a day of event planner! Dyane and Jeff accompanied me on the 30 day walk threw with the park rangers and Dyane was not afraid to be assertive on my behalf with the vision I had for guest once entering the park. Normally the park rangers have the guests enter at a certain location but my vision was to have them enter threw the gardens to get the full experience the park has to offer. One of the Rangers was hesitant to this idea because it had never been done before. Dyane knew this was important to me and was vocal with the ranger and made it happen. Another "issue" was that we had lawn games at the wedding and wanted a place for guest to be able to put their drink and tray passed hourderves while they played their games. The Rangers did not want cocktail tables on the lawn game area which would have made the games difficult to play. Once again they made multiple phone calls to the Rangers on our behalf and needless to say we had cocktail tables on the lawn game area! All of our friends and family said it was the most beautiful wedding that they had ever been to. The venue it self is a great backdrop for an enchanting wedding but the flow and vision of the wedding executed with experts like Dyane and Jeff left it as a magical evening everyone will remember! They kept the night flowing with the behind the scenes details all the while trending to my husband and I to make sure we were taken care of and happy. I can't say thanks enough to these two amazing human beings! They definitely have a great thing going! If you want a stress free magical event where you, friends, and family don't have to lift a finger and just enjoy what should be the best day of your life......... Then I would HIGHLY recommend Special Arrangements! Many thanks from Mr. & Mrs. Kristopher Kiebler

Extremely professional, organized, accommodating and all around amazing! Great listeners and communicators which is huge!! The whole experience with them from start to the actual big day was very positive. They go above and beyond what we expected and are really more than just day coordinators. They were fully involved in the entire wedding planning process, handled the vendors and guests with ease and care. Our guests personally came up to us with nothing but great things to say about them. Especially the family and wedding party they treated them as if they were guests in their home. I highly recommend using them for any event planning needs. Thanks to you both!!

So I attended an event at the foundry center recently. It was a holiday oddities market and I have…read moreto say what a neat venue! Having visited the Gold country off and on my entire life, I am kind of used to these neat old buildings that dot The Golden Necklace Highway of 49. But this one was unique. It was multi-leveled though not necessarily two stories. If you've ever been to Nevada City you understand that it's actually fairly steep in its terrain so nothing can be completely flat. So whoever built this back in the day utilized to the natural geography in a really cool way. Inside there is a bar in one area, two separate lower level rooms with completely different feels to each of them. And then of course as you come in there is foyer like gathering area. The market itself was awesome and I'll review that separately. I wasn't able to utilize the bar as there was a long line the entire time and only one or two servers so that was a bit of a disappointment. Most of the food was prepackaged again because of the type of event this was. I am not sure how food would be done here for other events. In terms of facilities the bathrooms were well kept in clean, the whole venue seemed to be well taken care of, the small exhibits that were around were in good condition, and everything seemed to be functioning properly. The lighting is a little dim which was made more apparent given the day was a dreary fall afternoon with lots of cloud cover and rain. So it did make looking at some of the items at the market a little more difficult. I did end up using my cell phone flashlight to get a better look at some items. But overall this is a great place! I love the feel of it and I could see lots of events being very cool here. I think a wedding would be super fun though It might be difficult for those who have accessibility needs. That's the last part I want to add to this, accessibility parking. There's like hardly any. In fact parking in general in this entire area is extremely difficult. The parking lot's not very big and as I mentioned earlier this is a multi-level space. So it's not the most accessible to those who have mobility needs. Granted it was built before ADA and I believe it's historical so it would be very difficult to make some of the adjustments to make it more accessible. But something, anything, needs to be done about the parking.

Fun, clean and friendly great place to hang and have fun with all sorts of different events.read more

My daughter recently had her wedding at the Elk's Lodge in Nevada City. First off let me say that…read morethe venue was perfect. Plenty of room with a full bar, stage and large commercial kitchen. However with that said many things went wrong. The grooms family wanted to do the cooking. When we asked if we could use their kitchen , at first they said no. Then they said we could use it if we paid for their chef to be present while we were using it. Not an ideal situation, but we agreed to it. We wanted to rent their plates and silverware and they refused saying that we couldn't use them because they were not doing the catering. I then had to go to a local rental company and rent plates and silverware. I paid almost $400 for that rental. Seems to me that the Elks Lodge could have made an extra $400 if they rented us the dinnerware. Go figure! During the months prior to the wedding, communication was less than perfect. No return phone calls, missed appointment, etc. We were working with a woman named Shawn. Shawn didn't recall many of the arrangements than were made, and had it not been for saved text's to prove we had agreed on certain things, we would have been in trouble. The day prior to the wedding, we paid for the use of Lodge and kitchen at 3:00. We received a call saying the chef had no transportation and they were going to be late. The wedding day I have to admit that the Lodge looked beautiful. Of course we provided all the decorations. However I want to give credit where credit is due. A member of the lodge, Mike set up all the tables and all of the chairs outside. He did an awesome job. Mike was kind enough to do this voluntarily. The wedding itself went pretty smoothly with one exception. We had to purchase the wine and champagne from the Elks Lodge. I ordered way too much. There was two bottles on every table. In addition there was about three more cases as backup if needed. Shawn told the bartenders to open all the wine. So I ended up bringing home all that opened wine which of course would only last a few days. What a waste of money. When I shared with Shawn my dismay on why all the wine got opened, I asked her if she would be willing to reimburse me for the unused open wine. Shawn's replay was, "You ordered it you own it"! Three cases of wine that had to be poured down the drain!!! Just one more note there, the bartenders where on the rude side! When it was time to clean up we had to clean the kitchen. The chef never showed up and we didn't know exactly where things went. They refused to let us use their commercial dishwasher, so we washed everything by hand. I'm wondering what the health department would have to say about that given that kitchenware needs to be cleaned at a certain temperature to be sanitary. All in all, the venue was very nice and the wedding ended up being beautiful! Had it not been for the poor service that Shawn provided I would have easily rated the Lodge a five!
