Best Wedding of the Year

So proud to announce that two of our weddings made it to Tahoe Unveiled'sTop 5 Real Weddings of 2014!

The first is dear, sweet McKenzie and Kenny's wedding. The ceremony took place at the top of Squaw Valley....and not just the top of the cable car - guests took a lovely 20 minute hike with their orange parasols and the greatest Irish trio, All Folk'd Up, escorting the way. Following the ceremony was an incredible vintage reception at the Squaw Valley Stables. Thank you to Larissa Cleveland for capturing this incredible day so beautifully!

To view this entire wedding, you can view it on Tahoe Unveiled, in The Knot Magazine, or on Style Me Pretty.

Our second beauty to make the Top 5 Real Weddings of 2014 would be Jessica and Brian's utterly gorgeous wedding at a private estate on the lake. You can't get any closer to the lake than this...and it doesn't get any more beautiful! Thank you to Mike Larson for these incredible images.

Private Estate Tour | Sandy Shores Cove

A few days ago we teased you with a little sneak peak into a few of our gorgeous private estates. Today, we are starting our tour by introducing you to one of our favorites, The Sandy Shores Cove Estate! Nestled atop a bluff and protected by the wind, Sandy Shores Cove boasts a gorgeous lawn, a lodge-style home, and access to a private sandy beach. Tall old growth pine trees surround the perimeter of the property, creating the perfect overhead canopy for an open air or clear tent reception. The long stretch of lawn creates plenty of space for spreading out the ceremony, cocktails, dinner,and dancing. Plus, no matter where you are on the property, you have a panoramic view of Lake Tahoe!   

  

  

  

  

This property really captures the essence of what Lake Tahoe has to offer - beauty, comfort, and a secluded space for you to enjoy a night of celebrating your wedding!   

Dancing under the stars is the perfect ending to a wonderful day filled with your friends, family, and loved ones.

  

We produced several stunning weddings at this property this year and these are a collection of a few of the images. We will be revealing more of the images very, very soon!  If you are interested in this property or even just chatting with us about our services, please give us a ring or email us.

Behind the Scenes with One Fine Day Events | Scouting Venues

One very important (and super fun!) aspect of our job is finding the perfect venue for each of our clients. We spend quite a bit of time working with venues and private estates to make sure they are a perfect fit for our clients. The amount of overall space, proximity to neighbors, and level ground are just a few of the key factors we look for in a private estate. We were recently out and about meeting with our homeowners and discovered an absolute gem on the "Gold Coast" section of the West Shore. Here's a picture of Paige and myself enjoying the sandy beach! It may look cold in this photo but come summertime, this beautiful estate is going to be absolutely magical for our clients!

Lake Tahoe Estate Wedding | Buttercups and Lovebirds

I love looking back at weddings from the recent summer. Kathryn and Christopher are the sweetest couple that just make you fall head over heels in love with love! They were married at the Fitzhaven Estate in August on a somewhat precarious day. The forecast predicted blue skies and high temperatures...we received dark looming clouds, wind, and a few rain drops. You just never know what to expect here in Tahoe, but nothing could damper these lovebird's special day!

The theme was a garden party with pops of bright yellows and navy blues. Blue and white checked linens covered the dinner tables, flower pots that are now planted in their garden were used for centerpieces, yellow and blue pashminas kept the ladies wamr, and yellow parasols were provided to protect the guests from sun... but actually protected them from a few rain drops!

Kathryn and Christopher didn't want a traditional wedding, so we played with the food, entertainment, and setup to provide various levels of excitement. Kathryn's brother offiiciated a profound, beautiful, and emotional service. After the service, guest's quickly wiped their eyes to start enjoying the festivities. Bocce ball, horse shoes, and a photo booth accompanied by various oversized props provided endless entertainment! Dinner was a huge priority for the bride and groom, so to remove the old theory that all wedding food is the same boring steak and fish, we worked with the catering company to serve something totally unique to weddings - A Groumet Burger Bar! A large chalkboard detailed the various options for this yummy meal. Guest's were ecstatic and commented on how perfectly the meal complimented the wedding and the couple's personalities.

After the bride and groom impressed us all with their perfectly choreogrpahed first dance, Chapin from We Ain't Saints kept everyone boogying on the dance floor all night long!
