We hosted our wedding at Palisades Tahoe in November. I decided to work with Ashley because I knew she had worked at this venue multiple times before and knew how to handle its complexities (1. all vendors have to load in and out on a gondola, and 2. if the weather changes, the gondola can't safely operate and your wedding will be at another venue at the base.)

From the first conversation, I felt like I was in solid hands with Ashley, who prepared me for all possible outcomes because she has worked this venue so many times before. We were about a month out from the wedding when I first engaged Ashley, and she quickly took over all vendor communications and made everyone feel totally prepared and comfortable with the venue & plan.

24 hours before the wedding day, we got the news that an incoming storm meant we had to change venues. Ashley stepped in and went above and beyond -- she replanned our whole wedding to be in the new venue at the base, and when I showed up at the venue I couldn't believe how she had worked with the vendors to make it all more beautiful than I could have imagined. Our day was perfect and seamless, and we got to be completely present because all the details and chaos were handled by Ashley.

Throughout the whole process, Ashley handled everything with a total "let's make it happen", positive attitude, was so organized and helped make the chaos of wedding planning feel so much easier. Ashley is also very well connected -- she was able to get a local vendor to the new venue last minute for pipe & drape, and was able to make last minute changes to linens because she has such good relationships up here in Tahoe.

Ashley was literally our wedding's fairy godmother, we couldn't have done it without her and I couldn't recommend her more highly for your wedding!!

I had the pleasure of working with Jen from First Pick Planning. I cannot praise her and her team enough for the work they did on our wedding. Jen was an absolute rockstar. She really took the time to understand the vision for our dream wedding. She was very easy to work with, organized, creative and professional.

Throughout our wedding planning process, when any issue would come up, Jen would be the first person to jump in and make recommendations and provide solutions. We had a vendor call out the night before our wedding and Jen immediately jumped in with replacement vendor options. We were very impressed and so grateful for her.

If you are looking for a wedding planner to go above and beyond to make your wedding special and unforgettable, I highly recommend working with Jen and First Pick Planning.

We hired Ashley as our wedding day coordinator for our wedding in Lake Tahoe (at Everline Resort and Spa FKA Resort at Squaw Creek) this past June and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of service that we received. We started working with Ashley about a month out from our wedding day, and from that point, she not only took over all the communication with our vendors but also helped us create to a flawless timeline that both met our desires (to enjoy our cocktail hour, actually eat dinner, etc.) and logistically worked out with the elements we wanted in our day. Throughout this month of planning process, Ashley was incredibly responsive and helpful with last minute decision-making. When it came to the day-of, I cannot praise Ashley and the team enough. Our event went off without a hitch and I did not have a worry in my mind the whole day. We had some complicated music asks for our ceremony and a TON of personal decor to setup, and Ashley and her team executed it all without hesitation. She even went above and beyond to bring us appetizers & drinks throughout the event, helped my mom bustle my dress, went up to our room to get us things that we forgot during the reception, packed all of our decor back into my parents hotel room at the end of the night, and countless other remarkable acts that were completely above and beyond what we expected. We also just had the best time working with her day of, as she was so positive, so fun to be around, and had the most can-do attitude ever. We can't praise Ashley and her team enough for the phenomenal day she helped create for us. Thank you FPP!
