WHAT WE DO

Luxury Weddings

Joyful wedding celebrations infused with romance, beauty, and effortless elegance. From breathtaking Lake Tahoe destination weddings to vibrant, high-energy celebrations in Reno and the surrounding Sierra region, each gathering is thoughtfully designed to reflect your vision and personal style. We curate every element of the experience — from welcome gatherings and rehearsal dinners to thoughtfully planned wedding party occasions, leisurely spa days, golf outings, the wedding day itself, and late-night after-parties followed by post-wedding brunches — ensuring a seamless and beautifully cohesive celebration throughout the entire extended event.
Social Celebrations

Social celebrations in the Reno–Tahoe region are defined by style, atmosphere, and a distinct sense of occasion. Whether hosting a milestone birthday, a graduation celebration, an upscale summer gathering, an elegant holiday soirée, or an intimate private dinner, each event is thoughtfully designed to reflect the host’s vision and personal aesthetic. From anniversary celebrations and engagement parties to cocktail receptions and celebratory weekends with friends, we curate every element of the experience — from guest arrival and environment to pacing, energy, and flow — ensuring a celebration that feels seamless, vibrant, and unforgettable.
Nonprofit Fundraisers

Nonprofit events in the Reno–Tahoe region require a thoughtful balance of purpose and precision. From elegant galas and signature fundraising events to charity golf tournaments, auctions, donor appreciation gatherings, charity luncheons, patron celebrations, and mission-driven occasions supporting 501(c)(3) organizations, each event is designed to inspire generosity and meaningful engagement. We shape the guest experience, pacing, and energy with meticulous care, ensuring every attendee — from the Board of Directors and founders to distinguished guests, dedicated volunteers, and key supporters — feels genuinely connected to the mission and motivated to contribute to the cause.
Corporate Events

From executive retreats and leadership summits to product launches, company milestones, holiday celebrations, conferences, and client appreciation gatherings, each event is thoughtfully designed to reflect your brand’s identity and strategic objectives. Every detail is considered — from venue selection and guest flow to atmosphere, timing, and presentation — creating an environment that feels refined, cohesive, and purpose-driven. We shape the experience with precision and discretion, ensuring leadership, stakeholders, partners, and valued clients feel engaged, respected, and aligned with your vision long after the event concludes.
Event Design

Great design is never accidental. From invitation themes and curated florals to layered tablescapes, specialty rentals, bespoke signage, and architectural lighting, every visual element must work in harmony to create a unified experience. Each detail is considered — from color and texture to proportion and flow — ensuring the environment feels immersive, elevated, and seamlessly integrated. We shape atmosphere through thoughtful styling and lighting design, from ambient candlelight to dramatic uplighting, transforming venues into cohesive settings that feel both exciting and effortless. The result is a visually compelling experience where every element supports the mood, energy, and purpose of the occasion.
Event Consulting

Event consulting designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether you need focused guidance for a single decision or steady support throughout your planning journey. Available hourly or per project, these sessions are tailored to your specific needs, offered virtually or in person. From comparing venues and reviewing vendor proposals to refining timelines, negotiating contracts, advising on DJs, entertainment, caterers, florals, rentals, lighting, and overall event flow, we step in wherever experienced perspective is needed. Planning can feel overwhelming. Our role is to simplify, steady, and strengthen your decision-making through thoughtful, professional guidance shaped around what you need, when you need it.

FROM OUR CLIENTS

“Wendy of Reno-Tahoe Weddings and Events is everything you could ask for in an event planning professional. To say she is detail-oriented is a massive understatement. Both in the months leading up to the event and on the wedding day itself, I never had to worry about missing a deadline or forgetting a key component—easy to do when you’re unfamiliar with large events, as we were. Wendy made sure everyone—from my husband and me to our bridal party, photographer, florist, officiant, caterer, DJ, and venue staff—knew exactly where they needed to be and when, pulling it all off with aplomb.”

— Megan Turner
Engagement and Partnerships Manager, Project Equity
“I can’t thank Wendy enough for the incredible work she put into making our Havana Nights Gala such a spectacular event. Every detail—from the stunning décor to the seamless flow of the evening—was a testament to her creativity, dedication, and professionalism. She truly brought our vision to life, creating an unforgettable experience for our guests while supporting the mission of the Rezvan Foundation for Excellence. We are so grateful for her hard work and passion.”

— Jessica Smoller
Executive Director, Rezvan Foundation for Excellence
“Wendy is a consummate professional. With a keen eye for detail and quality, her expertise leads to events that are well-organized and successful.”

— Daniel Skiffington
Director of Communications, NBBJ Design
“Wendy was my wedding coordinator in 2009. My mother had passed away a few years before, and I truly needed someone I could trust to guide me through the process. Wendy’s professionalism and attention to detail made it the celebration my husband and I had always dreamed of—an event our friends and family still describe as the most fun and best wedding ever.”

— Lily Taylor
Artist/Vocalist
“As a Board member, it was gratifying to know that Wendy was responsible for the coordination of activities surrounding the Innovation Summit as she brought professionalism and adroitness to managing a large and diverse group of people, from high school kids to world-renowned scholars and technology pioneers. Simply put, she was outstanding and made it look easy.”

— H.E. The Hon. Sir Thomas A. Cellucci, PhD, MBA
Sr. Counselor, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
“Wendy knows her events. She is always pushing herself to find a new venue, a new way of presentation, new food, and new ambiance. I've never seen one event the same, but I would have been fine if they were the same, simply because they were all done the right way, all beautifully executed.”

— Pamela Hawley
Founder and CEO, UniversalGiving
“These girls that helped us—we could not have done it without them. They saved us money on rooms and more than paid for any fee they would ever charge just through their expertise alone. My daughter always dreamed of a wedding that was over the top—perfect church, perfect reception, everything—and it just would not have gone well without them. As the mother of the bride, I didn’t want to have to deal with anything, and I wouldn’t even think of doing a wedding without these girls. In fact, my husband and I should probably renew our vows just so we can work with them again—we’ve been married 35 years!”

— Linda Thyberg
Medical Office Manager, Dermatology Practice
“Graceful, poised, detail-oriented, and positive—Wendy embodies all of these qualities, even in the heart of a storm. She expertly managed every request, big and small, and seamlessly delegated tasks to ensure no detail was overlooked. When faced with even the toughest clients, Wendy made the impossible happen with professionalism and tact. I would hire her again for any event—it was truly a pleasure working with her.”

— Shoghig Balkian
Communications Manager, Conrad Foundation

— Emily Jones
Finance Director, Catch Fire Movement
“I just wanted to tell you how amazing you are! I am so appreciative of everything you did and how special you make our wedding for us. Thank you so much, Wendy. I was thrilled to have you be part of our wedding!”

“I worked with Wendy on a large-scale event, and she is a true professional in every sense. She meticulously measured, sketched, and photographed the entire Bloomberg office to curate the perfect look and feel. She ensured this complex project ran seamlessly for everyone involved—designers, facilities staff, installers, and project leads alike. The final event series was nothing short of spectacular.”
