Working with the team at The Arch was incredibly easy. They made the planning process feel seamless. If you're looking for an alternative to a traditional church wedding or simply want a unique and beautiful place to say your vows, I highly recommend The Arch. As a bonus, even though there is a private beach nearby, most people stay on the far side. We couldn't hear or notice them during the ceremony, so it still felt peaceful and private.

We were supposed to go to Hawaii for their wedding but bc of covid concerns we weren't able to make that happen. Although everything didn't turn out the way we all wanted, and after all careful consideration of places to get married, they stumbled upon Tahoe and this beautiful venue. The location of the ceremony is perfect for that beach feel! And the reception is just right across the street! How convenient (: Decorated their arch and made it as close to Hawaiian vibes as possible. I'm glad it was the perfect size though bc I'm 5 ft. And it was difficult enough to reach the top of the arch but thankfully I had family's help so it all worked out well. I left all this stuff in the reception area at the landings so I was bummed about that bc I never got a call back to see if they'd found it but that's okay! It totally slipped my mind bc it was having too much fun that I forgot to bring the rest of my stuff LOL Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs Asido! After changing the dates 2 times they were able to finally make it happen! 2020 is truly a trip!

In true pandemic fashion, we had a micro-wedding in 2022. I consider myself to be very organized…read moreand at first, I thought we could skip hiring a coordinator since I only had 28 guests to keep track of..... don't be me, or change your mind like I did and hire Lindsay already! Here is why Lindsay is worth e.v.e.r.y. penny: From the moment I picked up the phone for our consult, Lindsay was on my team. Her warm demeanor instantly makes you feel like you're talking to an old friend or family member. She is organized, professional, and experienced: she knows the ins and outs of the industry and maintains good working relationships with local vendors. Her services range from month-of-coordination to full service wedding/event planning, so she truly can meet every couple's needs. She listens to your vision and gives helpful suggestions along the way that still allows you to feel like your event is a personal one instead of "cookie-cutter" or what the vendor wants.... Something that sets Lindsay apart from other vendors is how she keeps an open line of communication to all of her clients, even if you've booked her for month-of-coordination like I did. Despite being incredibly busy, Lindsay was always willing to answer any of my questions promptly throughout my planning process. She also recommended some truly amazing vendors that we cannot imagine having our wedding without in hindsight. Hiring Lindsay was best decision I made in our 15 months of planning because it wouldn't have all been possible without her. Despite all my efforts planning each individual part of my wedding and hiring my own vendors independently, none of it would have come together cohesively on the day of if Lindsay hadn't been there (since there are always last minute things that don't go EXACTLY as you planned them, like the weather in our case). Lindsay gracefully ensured my other vendors stuck to their timelines and stayed out of each others' way and also helped us pivot our ceremony to indoors at the last minute when the weather took a turn for the worse. There is nothing that can go wrong on your day when you have Lindsay there behind the scenes to create that perfect day of your dreams. Thank you so much, Lindsay, for being part of our best day!!!

Little did we know that our dreams would be exceeded beyond measure, all thanks to the exceptional talents of Lindsay at cloud nine events! Working with Lindsay was an absolute delight from start to finish. From our very first conversation, her passion for creating unforgettable weddings was palpable. One of the standout qualities of Lindsay was her impeccable attention to detail. She brought our vision to life and truly listened to everything we had wished for and more. Our guests were in awe as they entered the venue, greeted by an ambiance that blended sophistication and warmth in perfect harmony. They still can't stop talking about how wonderful everything was! But beyond her undeniable talent, what truly sets Lindsay apart is her dedication to making dreams come true. She effortlessly handled every challenge that arose, turning potential hurdles into stepping stones of creativity. Her reassuring presence not only put us at ease but also instilled a sense of confidence that everything was under control. Communication with Lindsay was also seamless and transparent, which greatly alleviated the usual wedding-planning stress. She kept us well-informed throughout the entire process, providing regular updates and offering innovative suggestions that elevated the overall experience. Her professionalism and responsiveness were truly commendable. On the day of our wedding, we were blown away. The coordination, the timing, and the flawless execution of each moment were awe-inspiring. We were free to savor every moment, knowing that Lindsay had orchestrated the best day of our lives.

Lindsay had transformed our dreams into reality with an artistry that can only be described as pure magic. In the end, our wedding wasn't just an event; it was an experience that our guests will cherish for years to come. And for my husband and myself, it was the beginning of a beautiful journey, made even more special by the dedication of Lindsay. If you're seeking a wedding planner who goes above and beyond to create a celebration that captures the essence of your love, look no further than Lindsay. Her expertise, passion, and unwavering commitment make her an unparalleled choice for turning wedding dreams into the most exquisite reality. You won't be disappointed!

My husband and I spent over a year planning and doing research for our wedding since we knew it was…read moregoing to be a semi destination due to where we live. Given COVID and many other restrictions we decided to use a service that included everything in one. When you aren't one of those types of people who want absolute control over the details and don't want a big deal over ceremonies, I highly recommend this. LOTSW has a few different tiers of what they have to offer with their appropriate price points. Due to COVIID and our wedding being elopement style, Rev. Dorie was kind enough to let me customize my package. You will be keeping the price point of course, but she was nice enough to let me swap things like providing my own flowers and trading those fees for more photos instead. I have to say, she captured some of the most incredible moments and I could not have asked for anything better. We got married on 8.26.2021 and it was in the midst of everything bad in S. Lake Tahoe. We originally lost our spot we booked a year in advanced, (Emerald Bay) but Dorie did everything she could to make sure that she was able to find a spot that was still open and available so we did not lose out on the opportunity to get married since it was coming down to the wire. (2 days after we left everyone was evacuated) To chime in with people are saying in regards to Dorie and her attitude. Dorie is a professional and she is a bit older. She has been doing this a long time and she knows what she is doing and how she wants it done. Her issue is with people not listening to her, people not following the instructions they were told, people being in her personal space, and things like that. People tend to not realize that when she is taking pictures, they close in on her because they want to get the shot too and it leaves her no room to move and she has to tell people to please back up over and over. She has to remind people "this is what we are doing or this is where we are going" and after 2 or 3 times yes, the annoyance is on her face and apparent and I honestly don't blame her because it does take a long time. We arent natural models so yes, we dont always get the poses she is asking us to do or what she means and she does get frustrated, I could see she was a bit annoyed with me and my husband because we are not naturals LOL. Overall it was a wonderful experience and she did every and anything she could to make it a great day despite the natural disaster around us. I would highly recommend LOTSW to anyone.

He was always available to us via phone and quick to respond via email too!

She knows her stuff which was helpful because our only vision was something low key, but elegant. She was able to help us coordinate vendors and set up the ceremony so that it went off without a single hiccup. She made our tables gorgeous. She soothed a scared kiddo. She provided a steady arm down old stairs. We wanted to focus on the day and our loved ones, without thinking about the details and Liane made that happen. From the moment she walked in the door she took charge but never felt intrusive or pushy. It was lovely working with her.

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.

We met with her almost monthly and she was so supportive of all my ideas. I told her last minute details I wanted to throw in, I'm talking LAST MINUTE like rehearsal lol, and she is like "yup. Okay. Done!" I was freaking out the whole month before my wedding about the weather. She was so calming and (she was right by the way) that I didn't need to worry and we would figure it out. THEN!!!! The wedding day!!! Oh my gosh. I don't even know how she did it. Set up our sweets table, and all the guests tables and chairs and our gifts table and just everything! It was soooooo gorgeous and us!!! All of our vendors knew her and she had it set up so nobody was questioning us they just went straight to her. Karie is amazing- hands down. It's so fun to have someone see your idea, get as excited as you, and then makes your dream an even better reality.

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.

Her communication style is excellent, which is so important when looking for a planner. We had some difficulties with our venue, and she was on calls and emails ready to help us deal with them. She's a reliable, kind, and funny person--all great qualities to have when the planning starts getting stressful.
