Throughout the process Bonnie was calm, patient and easy to work with. She is exceptionally organized and quick thinking. We had some guests arriving late and she was able to quickly reorganize the timeline for our ceremony so that everyone was present. The ceremony itself was beautiful. Bonnie achieved what we thought was impossible, a secular ceremony that pleased even my strict Catholic grandmother. The memorable ceremony was personal and reflected our values and couldn't have been created without her vision.

She had a welcoming warm vibe that we could feel from our first conversation. She took the time to really get to know us so she could make our ceremony feel personal and special.

Jinnae was an absolute darling to work with for our wedding.

After our meeting, she drafted a comprehensive Google document to describe the sequence of the ceremony as well as what she plans on saying for each segment, so there is no surprise to the couple on the day of the wedding. We were able to make edits in real time and she would make the adjustments necessary so that we were satisfied with her work. That being said, on our wedding day, the ceremony did not feel scripted at all -- quite the opposite actually! The way Jinnae delivers her words is very authentic and spiritual, and she does so in such a calming manner, all the while reading the audience and knowing when to squeeze in a bit of humor should the atmosphere call for it. We received positive comments from our guests saying how much they loved our officiant's demeanor, and how meditative they felt during the entire ceremony. Our photographer also complimented Jinnae's timing: he said that the ceremony was just the perfect duration. Not too long and not too short. My family is Filipino, and my parents made a request to incorporate "Mano Po" and the cord and veil traditions into our ceremony, which were previously outside of Jinnae's experience. But she spent a considerable amount of her own time to learn about our culture so that she can seamlessly add these traditions into our ceremony, which we greatly appreciated. After our wedding day, she mailed our marriage license to the respective office, and even provided me with advice on how to deal with the office's slow processing times. You will not be disappointed in choosing Jinnae as your officiant. She goes above and beyond, and even provides inspiration for wedding vows, readings, special ceremony additions, etc. If you want a hassle-free wedding ceremony, look no further than Your Ceremony with Spirit!

She was great to work with. We didn't get a chance to meet prior to our wedding due to it being a destination wedding in Lake Tahoe but we corresponded through emails. Karen had a survey for us to fill out to get to know us better and the type of ceremony we wanted. She then sent us a ceremony outline that we could edit all we wanted. She had a beautiful reading for us that we picked out from readings she had. When it came down to our wedding (@ Lakeview Lodge - Heavenly) we briefly met but I was very confident in her. She made our ceremony amazing. It was so full of love and I can't thank Karen enough. I highly recommend Rev. Karen Stone to officiate your wedding.

We used Mountain Event Productions for Videography and Audio services during our daughter's wedding…read morein Truckee. They were professional, showed up early and met all of our expectations. The father and son team were easy going and nice to work with. Our budget was tight, as we were investing heavily in wedding photography, so we were happy to find them pretty late in the planning process, and appreciated their flexibility. We requested a documentary style video of the wedding with minimal editing, to keep the costs down. Their audio services during the wedding with wireless mics, amplified music and sound mixing were perfect and exactly what we needed. The final wedding video product was beautiful and they did a great job with nice editing and segmentation that captured the feeling and emotions of the day. Their turnaround was quick, and they gave us a beautiful memory that we hoped for, and created affordable duplicate copies for us to share with our family as well.

He was very creative and he made good changes on the spot since we were going over on time. He kept the flow going during the reception and he successfully hyped up the crowd to dance. I picked genres for music and his music song choices were on point. If you need a MC he's the guy! Cons: We did the full package including love story, MC, and video. We drove to Nevada City to record our love story months before our wedding but he didn't work on the love story until right before our wedding. We gave him photos months in advance and told us the night before he couldn't find them. I was stressed enough. Luckily a few hours later he called and found them but he was staying up late to work on it. There was a miscommunication with his videographers and they missed me and my husband entirely getting ready for the wedding. Greg even argued with his contractor right in front of my wedding party. It was embarrassing and I was devastated I will never have any video of me getting ready. Luckily I gave him photos of me getting ready for our video. He did a good job putting the video and quick 5 minute video together even though he didn't have footage. The quality of the video was ok but he's better at being a MC.

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!!!!

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!

I have never felt inclined to give a bad review to any local business, but shoot, the last time I stepped in there it verified that I will never step foot in there again. Perhaps I'm spoiled by Main St. Kids in Nevada City and the way they treat me. But honestly, it matters to me whether the staff is friendly. Friendly customer service is key. But here, they act as if they'd rather be sitting home watching TV. I think I walked in lugging 2 bags of toys to consign with a wrapped broken ankle, and I was one day after the official consignment day. Nope. She wouldn't have anything to do with me. I'm sorry, but in an empty store, you can't make any exceptions and quickly look through my 2 little bags? It's just night and day between this store and Main St. Kids. And this owner and the last owner. A bit of advice for this owner: If you want to stay in business, you might want to consider treating your customers (who are key to making your business thrive) with some respect and a friendly smile now and again.

That's right - from engagement to wedding in less than three months. Not only did she set us up with the best vendors (Wedding DJ, Special Times Catering, Dani-Lynn w/Allure Salon, the Palms, WeDoDesigns, and Billings Photography) but she helped co-ordinate the intros, the contracts, the payment schedule, and even several walk-throughs. Best part? She was there from start to finish on our wedding day. She made sure everything was "just so" with regards to decorations, she made sure the vendors were set-up and ready to go, and she walked the wedding party through their cues. I think the topper for me was when the venue was - proactively - setting up for rain for the wedding the day AFTER mine. Let's just say their preparations were going to detract from my decor. In a firm, but loving tone, she let the venue know that it was NOT appropriate for the Friday wedding...and to take it down. Which they did. Look no further. 530 Bride is your best bet.

He also did not make any assumptions about the big day, like he NEVER said "Well you'll want to have your cake cutting music blah blah blah," We're having pies and cupcakes - not cake. I appreciate that he listened to me first and made suggestions later. He really should be called a DJ/mini-wedding music planner because Jason is SO organized. When discussing the flow of events, he pulled out this amazing fill-in the blank music time line and showed me a check-off list of songs. If you book with him, he gives a book and other goodies to help you plan out what you want for music. Although he did not have a demo or mix I could listen too, he did take the time to provide me with references that I could call and ask questions. He seems very trustworthy, not shady at all and he strikes me as being fairly laid back yet professional and able to get down to business on the dance floor.
