I've encountered Bohemian Butterfly Sisterhood's wares at a number of local festivals now. I have…read morefound that their clothing selection at their festival booth set-ups is more diverse, more vibrant, and more suited to my personal sense of style - than their online store selection. Each time I have come across them at a local festival - I have been smitten by their vibrant colors, their flowy styles, their kind staff, and their affordable prices. I have witnessed first hand how transformative their clothes can. My friend's neice came to the festival wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans - and in a matter of minutes after a quick visit to 'BBS's booth - she was adorned in the most stunning silk dress. Her whole demeanor changed that day, adorned in a sea of bewitching blues. She smiled more, talked more - and radiated confidence in her new dress. She truly was a butterfly that day. I can't count the number of people that approached her - asking where she got her dress. Bohemian Butterfly Sisterhood has that affect on people. Their clothes are made with love and their selection of items are carefully curated by people who genuinely care about making people feel seen and uplifted. If you encounter their booth at a festival - I highly suggest you taking the time to browse and support them. Trust.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Rod and Natalie designing a ring that would replace the…read morewedding ring that I had lost. I was heart broken that I had lost my ring and was unsure of whether I wanted to replace it, duplicate it, design something new or just live without one. They listened to my entire wish list, worked within my budget and helped me to tweak the design until we came up with the final ring that fits my lifestyle today. It turned out to be the perfect ring and is absolutely beautiful. I could not be happier. It was also a really fun experience working with Rod and Natalie. I would not hesitate to use Sonora Jewelry for any of my future jewelry needs. I even had them resize my father's childhood signet ring. Thanks for a wonderful experience and thanks for truly caring about making my it perfect and stress free.

Rosie and her team did the most amazing job for our wedding weekend at the Pinecrest Chalet, which…read moreincluded a Friday welcome dinner, Saturday brunch, ceremony, and dancing, and a goodbye brunch on Sunday. My husband and I first started working with Rosie in 2019, with the intention of a May 2020 wedding. Covid, of course, had other ideas, and we had to reschedule for July 2021. Rosie was with us through every step of that process. She was patient, empathic, and in regular contact as we made the difficult decision quite early in the pandemic to reschedule our event. As a result, we worked closely with Rosie for almost 2 years! She was easy to reach, happy to have a quick chat to plan or talk through minute quirks, and so amenable and open to any of our ideas. She is well connected to many vendors in the area, which was helpful all throughout the process. Rosie excels at balancing what's practical and feasible for an event of your size, while incorporating the elements that make each couple unique. She also has so many fun props and decorations available (e.g., she let us convert her lemonade stand into a frozen banana stand for a cocktail hour giveaway). From the initial setup on Thursday to the final tear down on Sunday, Rosie & her team were there. She helped us with coordinating all of the vendors in an advance and on-site. We truly could not have pulled off the event without her. She regularly thought a few steps ahead of us, and she worked seamlessly with her team to resolve any issues that came up. Everyone was so nice and friendly, too. Our guests had an amazing time and we owe so much of that to Rosie and her team. We give her our highest recommendation.

Rosie is hands down the reason that our Labor Day Weekend wedding at the Pinecrest Chalet was the…read moremost beautiful event I've ever been a part of. She is a wedding mastermind and puts her heart and soul into every detail to ensure YOU enjoy your wedding. I referred to her as my wedding mom throughout the process because she cares about your vision and your budget while dealing with the craziness of family drama sprinkled in. She helped me execute a rehearsal dinner, welcome dinner, brunch, and the full wedding day. I've attached photos from the different events. My husband and I reflect on that weekend all the time and constantly talk about how much we appreciate everything Rosie did to make our wedding dreams come true.

I don't usually hear people commenting on the florals at weddings, but multiple of my guests mentioned how beautiful and striking they were!

We were on vacation and wanted to buy a few things from Sonora that would remind us of our time here. Eric was extremely patient and knowledgeable. He didn't hurry us. He answered all of our questions. After lots of browsing, we walked away with two beautiful vintage wine glasses and two beautiful rings. There were rings at a wide variety of price levels. There were rings that went up into the thousands and rings as low as $15. There is definitely something for everyone at Washington Street Jewelers, attractive items in all price ranges. We're going to be here for a couple more days, and we may have to pop in one more time.

I had come across Twain Arte Gallery's booth at local Twain Harte Events in the past, but it wasn't…read moreuntil the Bigfoot Festival in Twain Harte recently - that their local art truly spoke to me. I was blown away by the vivid colors throughout many of the art pieces at their Bigfoot Festival booth. There was one particularly enchanting piece of Emigrant Wilderness that I kept on staring at. I was smitten. I ended up purchasing it and other beautiful art pieces at the festival. After the event - I reached out to the owner of the gallery - to secure some additional works. I can honestly say that each piece purchased has truly transformed our home. One of my favorite aspects of Twain Arte Gallery is that their art is local and it captures local scenery. There is nothing more beautiful than nature - and what better way to support local than through buying epic art inspired by the majestic nature that blesses this area. In each of the photography pieces that we bought - it's apparent that the photographer/artist has a genuine passion and love for the nature that is captured in their art. I am so thankful that we had opportunity to purchase the pieces that we did from Twain Arte Gallery. Both my husband and I adore them. On slow mellow days - we can easily be transported to Kennedy Meadow, Sonora Pass, Pinecrest Lake and the Emigrant Wilderness through the colorful images that now hang proudly on our walls. If you're local or happen to be in the area - be sure to stop on by Twain Arte Gallery during their weekend hours. Trust.

We worked with Erin Betts Events for our August vineyard wedding in Murphys, CA and could not have…read morebeen happier with our experience. Erin provided full-service planning for our wedding and was incredibly professional, responsive and detail-oriented. We were living in New York City and planning to hold the wedding at my family's vineyard in Murphys, so we needed someone on the ground who really knew the area and vendors and could communicate concepts and logistics efficiently over phone and email, as well as make the most out of limited in-person visits. We were so impressed with Erin's ability to perfectly understand our vision, the look and feel we were going for based on just a few phone conversations, two in-person visits and some back-and-forth feedback on Pinterest images. All of that to say, even a just moderate amount of guidance goes very far with Erin. In terms of personality, Erin struck a good balance between being personable/fun/making us feel comfortable and being very focused and getting down to business. She enabled us to enjoy the planning process while also keeping us on track. Erin is also a straight-shooter and will give you a sense of what is do-able and what might need adjusting. In those cases, however, she never seems to say "no", but rather a "what about this approach"...and they are usually really great ideas. On the day of the wedding, Erin and her team were amazing. So patient with guests and moving the schedule along perfectly. Erin runs a tight ship without anyone really noticing--every scheduled piece was totally on-time! During the reception dinner we inevitably would have guests coming up to us, one after the other, to congratulate us and chat, which is expected. As a result, we really weren't eating and needed to move onto the cake cutting or something. Erin, very smoothly, would kindly interrupt and get us back to finish our dinner so that we could move on. I really appreciated that because we as the couple don't really want to cut these conversations short. I would absolutely recommend Erin and her team for events in the area. You won't be disappointed!
