We were in town for the 100th annual Western Fairs Association convention (held inside the Grand…read moreSierra Resort) and when is a better time for a couple of our friends (in the fair industry) to finally tie the knot than then? Worked out great since many mutual friends were already in Reno and conveniently there is a chapel just down the escalators from the main floor. Beautiful venue. Simplistic and very high-end all at once. Rows of chairs on either side of the aisle with an altar, some steps, and a piano at the front. All of the small details were handled perfectly - a sign announcing the bride and groom, wedding cake, and celebratory drinks on top of the piano. Behind the scenes (literally behind a very decorative curtain) is a back area with rooms for privacy to change and prepare for the big day. The pastor was great. A friend played the piano as a wedding march and then sang a beautiful song for the couple. Huge congrats to our friends AnnMarie and Michael. So glad we were able to be there for them at their nuptials - especially in such a wonderful setting. If you're looking for a place to get married in Reno you can't go wrong with this hidden gem of a chapel within the Grand Sierra Resort.

I remember that it was decently clean, and decently organized, hence the decent rating. I dont remember very much of that day, just nerves, Crown Royal stashed in a 16oz water bottle (brides cousin, thanks Jim!), and of course my best mans comforting words..."Dude, im driving you over to the chapel now. We can totally leave town, RIGHT NOW! Im serious. Im just offering." I would not wish marriage on anyone, but if you are hellbent on doing it, might as well do it here. I recommend that you elope, get married by the city and save the $1200 price tag that getting married here cost me, and have a really cool honeymoon. But, what do i know.

As many others, we had to postpone our wedding a whole year and our original venue was sold and under new ownership, which changed many things for our day. Marci really led the way making sure we were still getting everything we wanted, despite these changes. Throughout the entire planning process she was one step ahead on everything. She was so well connected to other vendors in San Francisco and provided us with amazing recommendations for our florist, band, catering, etc. During all of our calls she was so on top of the right questions to ask (things I definitely would not have thought of but were very important logistically). On the wedding day, she was such a calming presence, I didn't worry one bit about everything going on at the venue because I knew she would have it handled. Everything went so smoothly and was completely perfect. If anything didn't go as planned, I had no idea and that is for sure all thanks to Marci and her team. Don't even think twice about hiring Marci as your planner.

She got back to me right away (which I appreciated because who wants to hire a planner that takes days to respond?). We ended up setting up a time to meet and go over her packages and what I envisioned for our wedding. We decided to go with the day of coordination since I had already put in a lot of work into the planning of the wedding. Day of coordination included a few meetings, day of coordination and open contact information for any help you might need. This was perfect for us! Marci met with my husband and I for our first meeting at our rental company since I was having a difficult time really envisioning what I wanted. She made it easy to pick what we liked and offered many different perspectives to choose from that still went with our theme. Something I really loved about working with Marci is that she listens to what you want and helps you put that together. She doesn't try to put her own touch on it, she wants it to be your own touch to truly showcase what you as a couple wanted for your big day. She helped to organize our rental order that way we knew what tables would be used for what, she knew the size of the linens to get, and she had insight on how many patio heaters we might need. Our next meeting was a few weeks before our wedding to go over ceremony and decor details and to answer any other questions we had. Let me tell you, if you are on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, do it purely for this reason. There is no way that we would have known all of the aspects of a ceremony on our own. That would have taken some serious time on google (which quite frankly as a bride you just don't have time for that). Marci knows what she is talking about when it comes to organizing your ceremony. She took notes on all of the decor we plan we to have and where we wanted it to go that way she could have it set up correctly on our wedding day. We had a final wedding planning meeting about a week before our wedding on Zoom. She had our aisle planner site up and we could see what she was adding to it. She really wanted to make sure all of our details were there and correct. This reassured me that everything would be great! I really loved that throughout this process we had an aisle-planner site that we all had access to. It had so many helpful resources and it made keeping all of our wedding items in one place easy. It helped us stay on track with payment deadlines, budget, and all of the details of the wedding. As the day got closer she added vendors to it that way they could see our full time line and utilize that on the wedding day. This resource was amazing as a bride. The knot looks sort of useless compared to this. We met for our rehearsal two days before the wedding and Marci had name tags written for everyone playing a part in our wedding. She facilitated the rehearsal in a way that made it easy for people to understand and then ran us through it a few times to make sure everyone understood what was happening. She knew the best ways to have our wedding party stand that way they looked their best, too. It was at this point that I was SUPER grateful for hiring Marci because I would have never wanted to run a rehearsal on my own. Let alone the wedding. My wedding day was a dream and I have Marci and her assistant, Faith to thank for that. I had many things go wrong with my rental order, and at first that bothered me. But they both reminded me that this was my wedding, and all that mattered was that I was marrying the love of my life. They helped me feel beautiful, and validated all of the hard work I put into this wedding. They kept the night on track and made sure the other vendors were staying on track. After we left they helped make sure the rentals all got back on the truck and that everything was as it should be. Marci always made herself available, validated my feelings as a stressed out bride, and offered to help with whatever I needed whether that was contacting hard to reach vendors or looking something up for me. Sure, your bridal party can help you with things, but they could have never done what Marci did. If you want a wedding day that makes you feel at ease, do yourself a favor and hire Marci. You won't regret it- it will be your best decision!

I truly can't imagine working with a wedding planner other than Kyleigh…read more Her care, attention to detail, and positivity carried us through a very difficult year, with COVID-19 forcing us to postpone our wedding back in March 2020...5 days before our original wedding date! Kyleigh never panicked and kept the train on the tracks, helping my wife and I focus on what we could control throughout the planning process. What resulted was a wedding better than anything we could have possibly dreamed of! COVID aside, Kyleigh made the process of planning our wedding about as seamless as possible. To start, she is a true swiss army knife for all things wedding related. Kyleigh possesses the technical chops to build a stunning wedding website, the project management skills to execute a FLAWLESS wedding day, and the attentive eye of a designer who can connect your aesthetic from invitation to cake decoration and everything in between. Just as important, Kyleigh has assembled a "dream team" of vendors who combine to make you feel like you're Michael Jordan surrounded by the Chicago Bulls. The florist, photographer, band, etc...they are ALL world-class and they LOVE working with Kyleigh. To top it off, she has an amazing relationship with our venue (The Ritz Carlton, Northstar) so she was able to expedite decisions and make special things happen without us having to stress. Honestly, I don't think we would have had the confidence to get married this year without Kyleigh and her team. It's easy to let paranoia and anxiety make you doubt your ability to execute a wedding during a year like this. But Kyleigh was the right person to assuage our fears and keep us focused on what mattered most, which was getting married surrounded by our closest friends and family in the most beautiful place in the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Kyleigh! Sincerely, Jack Huber

Audere Events was recommended by the venue (Ritz-Carlton), so I quickly scheduled a phone meeting with Kyleigh and Chelsea to see if they were a good match. I was immediately impressed by their professionalism, organization, kindness, and overall passion for event planning. I knew as soon as the phone call ended that I didn't need to interview any other wedding planners. Our wedding date was 2/11/23, and I believe we hired Audere Events at the end of June. I already felt behind in the planning process, but the ladies at Audere assured me that we had plenty of time to make my vision come to life. They weren't wrong! Throughout the entire process I felt supported, heard, encouraged and taken care of. They did everything possible to calm my anxiety. Kyleigh and Chelsea truly cared and I can honestly say I will miss our weekly calls and working with them. As for the wedding day, I did not feel stressed at all - which is a big deal for a naturally anxious person. Kyleigh and Chelsea flawlessly executed the wedding of my dreams. I have never seen such a beautiful wedding. It was truly better than I could have ever imagined. If it doesn't end up in a magazine/website, I will be shocked. If you don't believe me, check out the pictures! Kyleigh and Chelsea (and the rest of the team) I can't say thank you enough! I hope we make it back to Reno so we can meet up . You're the best! Much love, Erin & Bryce
