From the moment we began planning our private estate wedding in Lake Tahoe, we knew we needed a team who could help bring our vision to life. We found that and so much more with One Fine Day Events! From their connections with private estates and their relationships with an array of vendors, they made our dream setting a reality. Marci, Kenzie and Vanessa exuded professionalism, kindness, creativity, and attention to detail that made our wedding not just an event, but a breathtaking experience we'll cherish forever. They understood exactly what we wanted -- a blend of grace and nature, with the stunning backdrop of Lake Tahoe -- and executed it flawlessly. Every aspect was taken care of, from coordinating with vendors to ensuring that all the logistics ran smoothly on the day of. We were able to truly relax and enjoy the moment. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the seamless flow of the day and how beautiful the entire event was. We truly felt like we were in good hands every step of the way. I cannot say enough about how well we were taken care of and how much we enjoyed the planning process because of One Fine Day Events. They made our wedding weekend absolutely perfect! read more

We were engaged for 22 months and interviewed at least a dozen wedding planners between Tahoe and San Francisco. As soon as we met Vanessa and the team at One Fine Day, we knew instantly they were the ones to pull off our vision. We had an absolute blast from the moment we started ideating to our last visit where we picked up our boxes of belongings and said goodbye-for-now. My husband and I were equally sad (still sad!) to no longer have our standing meeting with Vanessa after more than a year of discussions, tastings, decisions and getting to know each other. Vanessa has a remarkably calm, collected presence. She's just as organized and detail-oriented. She's exceptionally talented at balancing ideas and perspectives, turning wild hairs and ridiculousness into event magic, and communicating with kindness and grace. Our interactions with Stephanie and the rest of the team were no different. In addition to our wedding and reception at High Camp, they helped us plan our Friday Welcome event at West Shore Café which by guest count, was larger than our wedding and reception. They helped us arrange a "kids village" and location for our after-party. Every detail across multiple events -- from the decor, vendor selection, flow, and tending to the various needs of 250+ guests -- was flawless. We're profoundly grateful to One Fine Day for making our wedding weekend more than we could have ever dreamed it to be. If we ever need help planning an event in the future, there's only one call we'll make. read more

Booking One Fine Day as our wedding planner was the first thing we did in the wedding planning process. We spoke with several planners in the area and what stood out to us was how most vendors knew Stephanie and her team and spoke highly of them. Vanessa, our planner, was so helpful to us right out the gate. She walked us through the process of finding a venue, helping us really understand the pros and cons of certain venues and, to my husband's delight, what goes into an overall wedding budget. Vanessa and OFD took the stress out of finding vendors and helped keep us on track by using Aisle Planner (my favorite part of wedding planning!). In the month leading up to the wedding, Vanessa had a family emergency come up and without skipping a beat, Stephanie, the owner of OFD, stepped in to cover while Vanessa was out. Not once did my husband and I feel like we were struggling and we had confidence that the whole OFD team was in our corner. Which was incredible going into the wedding weekend. Luckily Vanessa was able to be on-site for our wedding. The day went so perfectly and was so smooth. Our guests had the best time and my husband and I did not feel one ounce of stress, knowing that our whole day was in the good hands of Vanessa and her team. I would hire OFD again in a heartbeat. Anyone who is on the fence about hiring a full service planner, there are not enough good things I could say about our experience. read more

I've been a local photographer for 13 years and enjoy every wedding I have the honor of collaborating with One Fine Day! Stephanie, Vanessa and their team execute with perfection and professionalism and continue to go above and beyond to make their couples visions come to life. It's a joy to work alongside and I recommend them to any couple looking for an impeccable experience! read more

The best planners ever. They helped me make plans and decisions every step of the way. When I wanted a very specific type of invitation- they found the best vendor who worked with me to create a dream invitation! The venue spoke directly to them about any concerns, all the vendors were kept informed and on the same page. I was always kept in the loop and had say on every step but once they knew what I wanted- they took care of it!! Even down to the smallest problems like when the road was closed to my manicure appointment- they found me a new place I could make it to while I was still on the road! I cannot recommend them highly enough!!! read more

My wedding day was absolutely amazing and I truly could not have done it without the help of Stephanie at One Fine Day. I didn't really think that I would need a wedding planner, but the venue we chose required one. After meeting with Stephanie she created a package that met my needs and budget. I did a lot of the planning myself and Stephanie stepped in as we got closer to the date and flawlessly executed all of the little details. She always had our best interests at heart and was able to advocate for us with all the various vendors involved. She also took on all of the last minute confirmations and planning that would have really stressed me out and taken the enjoyment out of the two weeks leading up to the big day. Not to mention the fact that I'm sure I would have forgotten to do something if I tried to take it all on myself! I had a lot of personal touches that I wanted as part of the ceremony and reception and she and her assistant worked tirelessly all day to set things up perfectly while my mom, bridesmaids and I got to relax and get our hair and makeup done. I still get so many compliments on our wedding and I tell everyone that it would not have been the same without Stephanie! read more

Stephanie and Paige at One Fine Day events are absolutely amazing!!! They planned our August Tahoe wedding and it was absolutely everything that I ever could have dreamed of. They understood our style and vision and nailed it on the day. I really enjoyed all of my meetings with Stephanie and Paige - they work hard to get to know their clients and understand what they want for such a special day. I think of it as some of the best money spent on a wedding. They are experts in the area and are very knowledgable. They work great with all of the other vendors. I was able to truly relax and enjoy the day, as I knew that everything was under control. I would highly recommend going with One Fine Day Events - they are so wonderful and will be able to provide you with the day of your dreams! read more

Stef is amazing and fabulous! She will make your wedding day go so smoothly and you'll be glad you hired her. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

I can't say enough good things about Stephanie, Paige and the rest of the One Fine Day team. My husband and I have been to A LOT of weddings. In fact, we met at a wedding and our first five dates were at weddings. When it came time for us to take the plunge, we knew we wanted our big day to be a one-of-a-kind reflection of us. Something classic, creative and personal. Living in San Francisco, we knew we would need a wedding planner to make our vision come true. After meeting with a couple of vendors, One Fine Day was the obvious choice. I'm a planner at heart and I certainly didn't want to show up to a wedding that someone else had planned. They helped us find the best vendors in Lake Tahoe and always steered us in the right direction, while allowing us to call the shots. We made sure to add personal touches that reflected us and celebrated our fabulous location. I'm most grateful for their help in finding our venue. After taking us on a tour of nearly 5 venues, it just wasn't clicking for us. I was nervous to tell Stephanie that we hadn't nailed it yet, but if there is ever a time in your life to be picky, it is your wedding day. She was so understanding and suggested a private estate that fit all of our criteria. Without One Fine Day, I would never have had access to a venue like that, which made all the difference in the world. In the time leading up to our event, I was completely trusting in One Fine Day's vendors recommendations, timelines, budget suggestions and advice. Anything we threw at them...a beer tasting/wine tasting bar during cocktail hour, an arrival by boat, a snafu with the florist, a last-minute location change to our day-after brunch, a guest who had the wrong address, a groomsmen who jumped in the lake...they handled it all with ease. During the weekend of our wedding, they RAN THE SHOW. I'm so appreciative of the long hours and hard work that the team put it to make our day so special. While planning a wedding, you quickly learn that you can't please everyone. But at the end of the day, the wedding is about the bride and groom. The One Fine Day team managed to make our wedding day dreams come true, while creating a fabulous event for our friends and family. Looking back on our wedding day, it was exactly how I had pictured it, but infinitely better. I was so touched to receive the compliment, "This wedding is so you guys." several times that night and since. I am incredibly grateful to have shared Lake Tahoe with my favorite people and I have One Fine Day to thank. read more

The reason I am giving One Fine day Events 5 stars is that 10 stars was not an option. I honestly cannot say enough about the amazing job that Stephanie, Vanessa and Kiki did to make my daughter's wedding a day that we will always remember as magically perfect. They kept us organized from the first day of the planning process until the last guest left on the wedding day. They thought of every little detail. We do not live in the Tahoe area, so we relied completely on them to choose vendors we could depend on that fit within our budget. If there was a vendor we suggested, they took the time to research them and get feedback so that they felt confident the vendor was a good choice for us. Every vendor we had the pleasure of working with was dependable and professional and fit perfectly with our vision of the day. Our wedding was June 10 and we had not been concerned in anyway about weather until a few days before when it became apparent that a cold front was moving in. We had planned an outdoor wedding (on a pier) and dining on the lawn nearby for 155 guests. We were in a panic. A tent large enough to accommodate 19 big farm tables (if one could be found on such short notice) would be very expensive. Our wedding was Saturday and Vanessa and Stephanie were able to locate a beautiful tent, work with the planners for Friday and Sunday weddings at the same venue, and negotiate a price we could afford so that our guest could be warm and dry. As it turned out, it rained on Friday, Saturday was cold and windy, and Sunday it snowed. The tent was a lifesaver for all. While not the original plan, dining in a beautiful clear tent with crystal chandeliers, on the shore of Lake Tahoe created an ambiance that was so much more elegant and intimate than it would have been if the day had been warmer and we had just dined on the lawn. The sky was blue and inside the tent it was warm. Everyone raved about how unique and beautiful it was. We will be forever grateful for the countless emails and phone calls made by Vanessa and Stephanie to secure a tent and make it an affordable and beautiful addition to our décor. They kept saying "Don't worry, it will be perfect!" And it was. ***Something I learned in this process; If your wedding is months away and you call or email and don't get a response right away, know that these ladies are probably out there somewhere (with their capes on), addressing issues, solving problems, and putting out fires for some frantic bride whose day is right around the corner. Also rest assured that when your day approaches, they will give you the same care, and they will solve any unforeseen problems with the same efficiency and mastery. Believe them when they say "Don't worry, it will be perfect. Our day absolutely exceeded all of our expectations and was more perfect than we could have ever imagined. read more

Stephanie at One Fine Day Events was my wedding planner for my wedding in Lake Tahoe on July 28, 2012. I was planning the wedding from NYC And we were having it at my parents' lakehouse in Tahoe, but they live in San Francisco - so it was a destination wedding for everyone! Thanks to Stephanie, the day went so smoothly and she did so much behind the scenes to make that happen! Everything looked so gorgeous - the flowers, table settings, lighting, tent decor and all the small touches she thought of like the hanging flowers and pinecone escort card creation and guest book cards and I could go on and on! My parents told me later about a wasps nest emergency that was found right before the wedding began and Stephanie organized an exterminator to come out on a Saturday with no notice (and he didn't even charge us a fortune!) and fix it - thank god I had no knowledge of it or I would have been freaking out! That fix alone made having a wedding planner worth it. Dealing with Stephanie and Paige in the year leading up to the wedding was a pleasure. I interviewed many wedding planners and chose Stephanie because she seemed confident, organized, and she shared my vision that we could fit 75 people in the backyard of my parents lakehouse and make it a beautiful wedding. Somehow, she pulled it off!! I am on my phone all the time and respond to all emails within 5 mins, and it did take me a little while to get used to the fact that sometimes it took Stephanie a day or two to respond to me on email, particularly if I asked her to look into something with another vendor. A large part of this is because all the vendors in Lake Tahoe work at a very 'relaxed' pace and take awhile to get back to people, so it would take Stephanie a bit of time to get answers for us, which wasn't her fault. So just know that when planning a wedding in Tahoe! We had people in Lake Tahoe for the entire week before the wedding and Stephanie worked with all of them to make sure everyone had info about housing, babysitters, etc etc. .All of the work she did leading up to the wedding and the wedding week events was extremely thorough which actually allowed my now-husband and I to relax and enjoy ourselves that week! I got so many compliments from people on the wedding and on how helpful my planner was. Every single vendor Stephanie recommended was absolutely OUTSTANDING. I was so so impressed and I know she must have gone through a huge vetting process to ensure that the vendors she recommends always deliver. Throughout the year Stephanie visited my home in Lake Tahoe while we weren't there to measure and got the tent company in and arranged for everything. She met with the landscaper on site to ensure the florals were all beautiful and even measured the water depth multiple times to see whether we could land a boat on the pier on the wedding day. We met with Stephanie in March to do a tasting and go over florals and decor and she was fabulous and made us feel so calm and at ease. The week we arrived Stephanie went above and beyond the call of duty. She drove me to my hair trial 30 mins away in Truckee because I can't drive. She even drove me to Verizon the day before the wedding to see if I could get a new phone since I dropped mine in the lake. She hand delivered gift bags to everyone in our party and was on hand at all the events (welcome dinner, happy hour and of course the wedding) to make sure everything went smoothly. Every single one of her staff was friendly, SO nice and SO SO helpful (Paige her assistant is amazing). Choosing the 'full' wedding planner package and choosing Stephanie as our planner was the best decision I could have made. I don't know how I would have pulled together that wedding week extravaganza from NYC without her, and she really incorporated so many personal touches into the wedding that it totally felt like our own. It's been 3 months and people are still talking about how wonderful it was, and I really do owe this to Stephanie - I left the flower arrangements, table set up, tent, etc. all up to her (I'm not very design-y) and she understood exactly the look I imagined and somehow made it even better. The things I wanted to be involved in, she gave me free reign over, and the things I wanted her to handle, she handled to perfection. She also stayed within our budget to a tee - even with last minute emergency things we needed (she budgets for that!). That was EXTREMELY important to me, and mine wasn't a huge budget. She really was worth every penny because her negotiating saved us so much money and got the most out of each vendor possible. I am happy to answer any questions anyone might have about Stephanie's work, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her wholeheartedly. She is smart, capable, and a perfectionist - exactly what you want in a wedding planner. Plus she is extremely nice and funny, which made being in touch with her constantly for a year an absolute pleasure. read more

Stephanie and her team are absolutely amazing! My splurge for the wedding was hiring them and it was worth every penny. They know the Tahoe area very well which is so important when planning a wedding in Tahoe to get everything you want. They were available at any time throughout the entire wedding planning process. They listened to all of my wants and concerns and handled every request we threw at them. If there were any problems I never knew about them. Stephanie, Julie and Vanessa made sure our guests, as well as ourselves, were well taken care of. It was an absolutely perfect evening, mainly in part to the OFD girls knowing how to plan an event that goes off without a hitch! Our wedding guests are raving about our wedding and many have said it was the best they had ever been to. I would hire these girls again in an instant! read more

About one year ago we hired One Fine Day to do the day-of coordinating for our wedding. Let me just say that Stephanie went so far above and beyond what we expected for day-of coordination. We had a VERY challenging wedding- an outside ceremony on Squaw Mountain during a blizzard in February, followed by a two-room reception at Plumpjack Inn. It could have been a disaster, but it was a delight thanks to One Fine Day. Stephanie will be as involved or as uninvolved as you want her to be. I highly recommend One Fine Day! read more

Stephanie and Paige were fantastic to work with. I did not think I needed a wedding planner, but a friend convinced me it would be really helpful for last minute peace of mind. All I can say is thank god I did it, because instead of gorgeous weather in September, it rained all day, then snowed, and we had to relocate the entire wedding ceremony at 4pm for a 5pm start. I literally could not have handled it without them, and would not have enjoyed my wedding if I had to worry about all the details of a major last minute relocation. Of course you don't plan for that kind of change on the day of. But all I can say now is you never know. And it was an investment that, even if we didn't have that big of a change, would have been well worth it. Stephanie and Paige were great with vendor recommendations, management, and all the finer details that I thought I had covered, but realized how great it was to let someone else be in charge. I can't recommend them enough! read more

It has almost been two years since my wedding, but the beautiful memories Stephanie and Paige helped to create will never fade!! One Fine Day Events created a dream wedding for me and my husband. I attempted to start planning my wedding by myself and I was completely overwhelmed. They made it easy. They offered guidance and help when we needed it. They helped pick a venue, helped with tastings, helped with rentals, created a cohesive theme, etc. They have contacts for everything and are wonderfully creative. I hired her for everything...Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Party, and Wedding Day and you should too. It will be some of the best money you ever spend! read more

One Fine Day was the the most critical decision I made during my wedding planning, and my only regret was that I did not hire them earlier in the process! They were detail-oriented, professional, thoughtful and incredibly creative. They even helped make the wedding planning process fun! The whole day was flawless and they made everything so easy for me and the guests. They are perfectionists and such a pleasure to work with. read more

Our daughter decided to get married at our house in Tahoe, which was long distance for everyone involved. She interviewed a number of wedding planners to help and selected Stephanie and her staff. Was that ever the right choice! Stepahnie was incredibly helpful, organized, prepared, full of wonderful suggestions and. above all calm and collected throughout. The wedding was outstanding and the team did a more than excellent job. We couldn't believe how well-organized it was and how calm she was. Her staff were also most pleasant and calming. The whole event flowed seamlessly, and the clean up was miraculous. We cannot thank her enough for an outstanding job. read more

Stephanie and her team are fantastic. They helped us with all aspects of our wedding planning, from selecting vendors to planning the flow of the evening to putting together guest bags and handling all the setup and take down. She took care of all the little things that we never would have thought of. I was initially skeptical that we needed a planner, but in retrospect it was one of the best decisions we made. Stephanie made sure everything just worked, and we didn't have to worry about anything during the wedding. read more

Hiring Stephanie and One Fine Day was the best decision we made planning our wedding! Stephanie was professional, friendly and relaxed from our first conversation to the day of the wedding. She made everything run seamlessly. We never had to think twice about anything except enjoying ourselves with our families and friends. I couldn't recommend Stephanie any more highly. You will not be disappointed! We want to do it all over again and again! ;) read more

I cannot not say enough positive remarks about the OFD team. We looked at lots of venues throughout California but nothing felt quite right until we decided on an outdoor wedding at Tahoe. They turned an adorable cabin and yard on the lake into our dream wedding venue. The logistics of transporting guests to and from the venue and turning an estate into a venue for over 200 guests, band, etc seemed quite overwhelming to us. They know the area well and worked well with all the other vendors. Vendors were constantly telling us how professional they are and that they were the best in the area. They were all so sweet to work with and listened to our questions and concerns throughout the wedding process. Wedding planning can be stressful but they eased our worries. We always felt we were in good hands with them. They are professional, detail oriented, and followed the vision of our wedding. Our wedding day went seamlessly thanks to the OFD team. It was truly our perfect day - we still can't stop talking about it! I highly recommend using OFD for your wedding in the Tahoe area! read more
