I've read a lot about the Sierra Chef on Facebook, and I've always wanted to pass through town and…read more stop. This is my first time in Genoa, which is a wonderful little town. It reminds me a little bit of Virginia City, only without the bars, casinos, old-time photo shops, and camel races. Genoa is the oldest town in Nevada, founded in 1851 as a Mormon trading post. It still has lots and lots of history. Mormon Station State Park has replicas of some of the original buildings, and there are other historic buildings in town as well. however, Genoa feels more like a small ranching town rather than a big movie set. Tucked into this cute little town, is the Sierra chef. They do a lot. They do catering, they do cooking classes and it's a good old-fashioned Italian deli, also. Lots of Italian foods, and also grocery items, that you can buy. They have meats and cheeses, imported olive oils , sauces, and pastas. Amazing pastries. Gelato. They even carry. Illy coffee, which is a very high-quality coffee. Everybody in the store was so nice. For my lunch order, I was helped by Lori, and she was also very friendly and helpful. I decided to have the Porchetta sandwich, and it was amazing. Wonderfully seasoned pork, cut into thin strips. It was rich, savory, and had an amazing "porky" flavor. I could smell it as soon as it was brought out to my table. It was on a wonderful bread that was crusty on the outside, and soft and pillowy on the inside. , the cheese was creamy, , and the veggies were just absolutely amazing. One of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time. To drink, I had a cherry lime, Italian cream soda. I could taste both the cherry and the lime, I loved the creaminess of it, and there was just enough of a soda water that I could get the carbonation. For dessert, I had a cannoli. The shell was perfect, the ricotta in the middle was wonderfully rich, and I had chocolate chips on one end, and pistachios on the other. Again, totally top-notch. I took home a jar of imported puttanesca sauce, and it was just as great. The tomatoes had just had a rough chop, I could taste the brine from the capers, I could taste the olives, everything in it made it one of the best sauces that I have had in a long, long time. I live in the Sacramento area, so I'm going to have to see if I can find that sauce locally. It was that good. The price out the door for everything was very reasonable, considering the high-quality of the product. Just an amazing stop at a fantastic shop. I will be back. Thanks!

Also, she provided amazing spreadsheets via Google Sheets that we used to plan the whole wedding. The entire wedding couldn't have been possible without Felicia.

At the outset, I should say that I was initially reluctant to get a wedding coordinator. In my…read moremind, it seemed a bit of a stretch to hire a vendor that costs quite a bit of money, and to cede the planning for such an important day to another person. I was wrong. My fiancé and I held an off-site ceremony and reception at the Ehrman Mansion in the Sugar Pine Point State Park, on the west side of Tahoe. Given that it was an off-site location, there were so many additional details that required our attention that Felicia notified us about and then took control of (in a good way). Although we did not always agree with all of her suggestions (she's sort of a "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" kind of person), she was always extremely receptive to our input and never gave us any pushback if we decided to take another route. She fixed issues the day-of that we weren't even aware of until after the fact, which made our day all the better. Felicia is friendly, hardworking, and we would wholeheartedly suggest her for you wedding coordination needs. Felicia Gantar was worth every penny.

Jessica is very organized, detailed oriented and knowledgeable about everything wedding that she made the whole wedding planning thing seem easy! My fiance and I were so impressed after the initial consultation and knew we had to have her as our planner. Right after we booked OUATE, my fiance and I had a meeting with Jessica and basically told her everything we wanted, what we didn't want and what we dreamed of having but didn't think we could afford. She also had us fill out a questionnaire to get a sense of our style, get to know us and get an idea of what we envision for our dream wedding. After reviewing everything we gave her, she created a design board with everthing we had talked about. I loved how we got to go thourgh and point out what we liked and what we didn't like. This gave us a great sense of what our wedding was going to look like. Since I had a very hard time picking a theme and staying with that direction, this really helped me get on track and focus on one thing at a time. This also really helped me stop stressing and feeling overwhelmed and let me enjoy the wedding planning process. As a bride, I knew I wanted to be involved in the fun stuff but not the boring, budget related stuff. Jessica was amazing at handling all the stuff I didn't want to do or did not know how to do. We gave her our total budget and she planned around that very well and helped us stay on track. She also did all of the orders (which were a ton since we had our wedding at private estate and had to bring everything in) and delt with the most of our vendors. She has a great working relationship with a ton of wedding vendors in Reno that she was able to get things done and get them done fast! And she had wonderful recommendations for our wedding vendors. We loved them all! During the whole wedding planning process Jessica and her sister, Cassie kept us on track and made sure we were getting things done when they needed to be done. I loved how they took all of my ideas and wishes and made them happen without any questions. The whole time, they were professional but so nice and fun to work with! It made wedding planning a lot of fun! The day of the wedding, I had absolutley nothing to worry about. I sat in the house and got ready while Jessica, Cassie and her team set everything up and dealt with all the vendors. The wedding was not too big but the whole production of it was a lot! We had a ton of flowers, a fire pit, a dessert bar, photo booth, a lounge and a ton of details such a signage and personalized items. Jesssica and her team were so organized and executed everything PERFECTLY! It was above and beyond anything I had even imagined. They took my vision to the next level and made it better than I could had ever wished for. Jessica and Cassie kept the wedding on track the whole night and everything went off witthout a hitch. My husband and I nor our wedding party or family had to lift a finger, it was amazing! We got to spend our time enjoying ourselves while OUATE delt with everything else. Jessica, Cassie and the entire OUATE team are amazing!! They made planning our wedding an absolute joy and I would HIGHLY recommend them for wedding and party planning. If I plan another event you can be sure I will be booking Jessica and her team to help

His warmth and confidence made our ceremony truly special, and we're so grateful he was part of our wedding day.

Worst money we spent on our wedding. Liane consistently ignored our budget and provided only one…read moreoverpriced option per category (ex: caterer 60-70% of our total budget, lighting 50-60% of budget etc.)--then told us we needed to contact those vendors to decline them ourselves. We ended up sourcing most of our team independently (caterer, lighting, dessert, photographer, officiant) because she offered no alternatives and little guidance. Her actual contributions were minimal--mainly inputting our own rental lists (often incorrectly) and pushing a florist who was unprofessional and tried to upsell us on unnecessary items. When we raised concerns, she repeatedly got defensive and claimed she limits options to avoid "overwhelming" couples, yet rarely provided more than one choice. On the wedding day, coordination was poor. Guests were directed into the bridal space before the ceremony (the BRIDE had to ask family to be seated...), meaningful décor items provided by family weren't set out as instructed (items all labeled with an clear itemized list), and our photographer and DJ--not the planner--kept the timeline on track. The following day, we had to return to the venue to fix misplaced rental equipment - another job that she failed to do properly without any apology. Our wedding turned out beautifully despite her involvement--not because of it. I would NOT recommend hiring her.

And it made ALL of the difference! Our wedding went off without a hitch. Here are some examples of how well Forget Me Knot Events came in to help throughout the planning and the big day: --"Sounding Board" hours. We purchased time to consult with Allison on details months before. Each piece of advice came from tons of experience and expertise. She guided us toward and away aspects that were best for us. --Meeting us at the venue to look for possible ideas, flow of the event, seating charts, etc. Plus advice for day of set up. --A 'ring blessing,' an important, yet difficult-to-coordinate ritual of passing our rings around on a ribbon pre-ceremony. This turned out to be a beautiful, unifying aspect of the day that couldn't have been pulled off with our coordinator --Since my husband and I couldn't be dragged from the dance floor to cut the cake, our coordinator had the great, spontaneous idea to have our brother (baker of the cake) bring it to us on the dance floor. We now have these fun, silly photos of us feeding each other while dancing, something many guests thought was a rehearsed performance but was actually just a wonderful spur-of-the-moment event! --Our day of coordinator brought us drinks and food, ensuring that we ate. She checked in with us frequently on what we needed, how the flow of the evening was going, etc. I highly recommend this artful, creative company for your wedding planning needs. Hand over the stress of something you'll just do for one day to an organization that does it nearly everyday!

We found Forget Me Knot Events and Design on WeddingWire and were impressed by their reviews. Upon reaching out, Allison responded immediately to provide more information on their different services and what to expect with each. She was very responsive to all our questions and her communication skills were exactly what we were looking for as our wedding day wrangler. With the services that we went with, most of the magic started a little over a month before our actual wedding day. Allison collected all our vendor contracts and worked in parallel with our venue event coordinator to ensure that no detail was missed in the planning process. She created our wedding day timeline and communicated with all our vendors directly to make sure everyone was on the same page. Allison reminded us about items we had overlooked and continued to stay in close contact with us leading up to the big day. In addition to running our rehearsal, Allison and her assistant Lindsey were present for our entire wedding day. They worked seamlessly with all our vendors in the set-up of our decor and made sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule. I was able to enjoy the celebration without any worries since I knew they would be able to handle anything that came up. At the end of the night, they helped transport all our decor back to our suite so we would not have to worry about moving it ourselves. Allison's attention to detail and communication skills are truly exceptional. We cannot thank Forget Me Knot enough for their help throughout the entire wedding planning process.
