They were always so incredibly kind and helpful. So many of our guests even messaged us after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed talking to the sequoia team as well as how incredible all the food and drinks were. I wish I could go there all the time just to eat the food and drinks (especially the meatballs). If you're thinking about having your wedding here do yourself a favor and do it! I want to give a special shoutout to all the people at sequoia mansion that made our day so special. So thank you Natalie, Traelynn, Shannon, Kevin, Diana, Araceli, Rose, Josh, Daniel and Kaitlyn!

The ceremony was perfect, we had our dogs in it too with them being a part of our family, and it was amazing, and so was the reception!

We then had our banquet captain and she was phenomenal too!! Traelyn was so kind as well and made the dinner and the rest of the night run smoothly until it was time for us to leave!!! We will always recommend them and their staff to work with for any future events or friends who might get married soon!! - Nicole

Davies Family Inn is, without question, the most pleasurable escape I've ever experienced. I found…read moreit in 2025 while searching for a place to celebrate my husband's and my 25th anniversary. We had booked another location we thought we loved, but it didn't feel right. For the second night, I chose Davies Family Inn purely by chance--drawn in by the idea of what they offered. We drove in completely unaware that we were about to discover what would become our gemstone, our true getaway. The property is deeply tranquil and serene. Evenings are spent around fire pits with a glass of wine, surrounded by silence except for the sounds of nature. We've baked apple pies from their orchard, enjoyed endless peaceful nights under the stars, and--by the generous allowance of the property owners--explored the land on their ATV simply to wander and take it all in. What truly sets this place apart is the people. Linda and her husband Jim make you feel like family. When I call and say I need a getaway, they always find a way--even during blackout dates. That kind of care is rare and meaningful. Trisha, who maintains the property, is phenomenal, and the grounds are always immaculate. This is a very, very gorgeous retreat tucked right in the middle of Placerville, yet it feels worlds away. Part of me wants to keep it a secret--but it deserves to be known. If you're looking for peace, warmth, and a place that truly stays with you, this is it.

Linda was so great and easy to reach if we had any questions or concerns, and was very hands on during the reception. She was extremely helpful. The bartender Beka was so sweet and did an amazing job. Everyone absolutely loved her! The cabins were very clean and so cozy. Having everything all in one place for the wedding was so much less stress and Shadow Ridge Ranch was the best place to do it. I can't thank them enough for making our day so beautiful, special and fun. The reception was a BLAST and we danced the night away. The way that the property is set up was perfect! It is a weekend that my husband and I will remember forever. Thank you all again SO much!!

Monique was fantastic and incredibly helpful during our wedding planning. We wanted a simple,…read morenon-religious ceremony and Monique was just the officiant we were looking for. She was available for phone conversations and was very responsive via email. She was able to provide a very helpful packet of ceremony ideas, including sample vows and readings that made it easy to add our own personal touches. It really helped us plan a ceremony that was uniquely "us." If you're looking for a compassionate but not necessarily religious ceremony, definitely talk to Monique. She's a pro.

Monique was wonderful to work with! We couldn't have planned our wedding without her. From our…read morefirst conversation we knew she was right for us. She has a personal connection to the outdoors and the river which made her the perfect person to help us plan our wedding on the river. Her experience and knowledge of customs and traditions was invaluable to us as we put together all of the pieces for our wedding. At the same time she was never less than completely supportive of our choices. Monique did an amazing job of guiding us through the process while encouraging us to do things our own way at ever stage. On wedding day we didn't have to think about or coordinate anything. We just got to enjoy the festivities knowing she had the details under control. If you're looking for help planning and facilitating a wedding I highly recommend you give Sierra & Sky a call.

"Just Wing It!" We…read morehad a change of heart a day before our wedding. We're supposed to get wed at City Hall of SF with our 30 closest friends and family. But unfortunately City Hall will not allow us to have more than 6 witnesses to witness our wedding.. So the day before our wedding on July 18th we decided to just WING IT and get married in the park and hire an officiant so our Family and Friends can be part of our special day. We went and searched Yelp and found Amber! We told her that we need an officiant the next day and told her the story of our last minute change of heart. Even she was surprised! We asked if she knows a place in San Francisco where we can get married and she suggested an amazing Garden in San Francisco. Everything fell into place from there! We hired Amber to officiate our wedding and thank God she was available with the last minute notice!!! And even though we never met her not once and just communicated thru e-mail she performed a lovely ceremony that we will cherish always and never be forgotten! We got the wedding my wife always wanted, a small intimate garden wedding with our closest Family and Friends! We are so lucky we found Amber and became part of our Special day! We still can't believe that we just Winged our wedding and became one of the most memorable day of our life!!! We will definitely recommend Amber and will definitely hire her again if we can get married again :)! Thank you Amber! Always, Michael and Charimel

Amber, Chris, and I sat in a cafe for about an hour where she took the time to get to know our story, our values, and our hopes for our ceremony. I was very stressed from all the planning and organizing, but after I left our meeting, I felt so much weight lifted off my shoulders. Amber made us comfortable from her confidence and compassion. Based on our meeting and a relationship questionnaire, Amber suggested some readings and crafted a ceremony that was simply perfect for us. There were some key things that were important for me to be included, or not, in the ceremony, and her ideas were just right. The day of the ceremony, Amber helped calm me again. And we had SO many compliments on the ceremony, and many for Amber, herself, too! My mom was so excited at how eloquent of a speaker Amber was that she mentioned it several times. Hiring Amber to perform our ceremony was one of the best wedding decisions we made! THANKS, AMBER for making our special day even more special!

My fiance and I hired Aimee after a thread of emails with Aimee that made us feel like we were already friends. I can promise you this future brides - you will find a friend in Aimee. Wedding Planning is more than you have ever imagined and it is everything like Bridezillas and nothing like David Tuitera (spelling). It is more than overwellming in more ways than one. I am more than thankful for having Aimee because she has made it all fun and positive, even my guests of 400 list. She works with the best of the best vendors and through your process you will be reminded of that constantly. She will bend over backwords for you and there is nobody in the business that cares more than Aimee. It is worth the peace with your family and the emotion with your fiance to have Aimee. My fiance and i are in our 60 day wait and have everything done. Aimee has nailed it all to the tee.

We hired Ramona as our wedding coordinator, and while things seemed fine leading up to the big day,…read morewe started to notice some passive-aggressive behavior as the wedding got closer. Unfortunately, on the actual wedding day, my family had to step in and handle several things that were supposed to be managed by the coordinator and her team. There were quite a few promises made during the planning process that simply weren't kept, and it added unnecessary stress to what should have been a smooth and enjoyable day. While some parts of her work were okay, the lack of follow-through and professionalism on the day itself was really disappointing. I wouldn't recommend based on our experience

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Ramona. We…read morehad absolutely no clue what we were doing when we started planning our wedding; we didn't even have a clear vision for the day. But from the moment we began working with her, everything fell into place. She took the time to get to know us, helped craft a beautiful vision for our wedding, and guided us through the entire process with so much patience and expertise. Even though Ramona was technically our "day of" coordinator, she was with us every step of the way. Her responsiveness was incredible - every time we had a question (and there were plenty!), she was quick to reply with the perfect solution. She was calm, confident, and took care of everything, making even the most complicated parts of planning seem easy. On the wedding day, nothing went wrong - seriously, not one thing. Ramona had everything under control, handling every detail flawlessly. We didn't have to stress about a single thing, which allowed us to have the most perfect day. We are forever grateful for how she made our wedding so seamless and enjoyable. Honestly, Ramona is a total bada**! If you want a coordinator who is not only incredibly organized and responsive but also brings a level of calm, confidence, and total control to your day, look no further. We can't recommend Ramona enough; she helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more! Thank you a million and one times, Ramona!

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.

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.

My husband and I got married at Empire Mines on the 14th of August. If it weren't for Dyane and…read moreJeff my wedding day would have never come to fruition. From the first moment I met them for a consultation to the last moment when the lights came on after our last dance at the wedding they were there every step of the way. My husband and I live in Long Beach Ca. and having our wedding in Grass Valley turned out to be a daunting task to execute. So we decided to hire a day of coordinator. We chose Dyane and Jeff for their expertise and experience. Not to mention we clicked right away and I felt completely comfortable in their presence. The overwhelming task of planning a wedding from a fare lessened once my husband and I chose Dyane and Jeff. Let me just say that they go above and beyond what a day of event planner typically handles. They contacted all of our vendors for us multiple times leading up to the wedding insuring everyone was on the same page. They have worked many weddings at the Mines so they are familiar with the rules and regulations that come with having a wedding in a State Park. I brought a lot of DIY stuff and only having 2 hours to set up was daunting task but they handled it to a T. This was because there were multiple e mails and phone calls leading up to the big day. Once again going above and beyond for being a day of event planner! Dyane and Jeff accompanied me on the 30 day walk threw with the park rangers and Dyane was not afraid to be assertive on my behalf with the vision I had for guest once entering the park. Normally the park rangers have the guests enter at a certain location but my vision was to have them enter threw the gardens to get the full experience the park has to offer. One of the Rangers was hesitant to this idea because it had never been done before. Dyane knew this was important to me and was vocal with the ranger and made it happen. Another "issue" was that we had lawn games at the wedding and wanted a place for guest to be able to put their drink and tray passed hourderves while they played their games. The Rangers did not want cocktail tables on the lawn game area which would have made the games difficult to play. Once again they made multiple phone calls to the Rangers on our behalf and needless to say we had cocktail tables on the lawn game area! All of our friends and family said it was the most beautiful wedding that they had ever been to. The venue it self is a great backdrop for an enchanting wedding but the flow and vision of the wedding executed with experts like Dyane and Jeff left it as a magical evening everyone will remember! They kept the night flowing with the behind the scenes details all the while trending to my husband and I to make sure we were taken care of and happy. I can't say thanks enough to these two amazing human beings! They definitely have a great thing going! If you want a stress free magical event where you, friends, and family don't have to lift a finger and just enjoy what should be the best day of your life......... Then I would HIGHLY recommend Special Arrangements! Many thanks from Mr. & Mrs. Kristopher Kiebler
