Whimsical wedding makers!


My husband and I feel so lucky to have Mel from XOXO weddings in our life! Working with Mel to plan our absolute dream wedding was, well, a dream. She took our ideas and helped us make them reality with professionality, humor, and grace! We appreciated her organization and communication, she made sure we all stayed on the same page and our day went as smooth.

Her day-of execution was on point, the weather forecast for the wedding changed several times in the weeks before our set date, the threat of rain was so stressful with it being an outdoor event. And it did rain! But, we were so prepared, and it was whimsical! Mel and her team coordinated everyone, the vendors, the guests, the performances while still checking in with us the bride and groom to make sure we did everything we wanted to do! She even made us the coolest pocket timelines for the wedding party and VIP’s! Thank you for being a part of our special day, Mel.

10/10 hire XOXO weddings for your celebration!

The Absolute Best Planner

Kaci and the XOXO Wedding Team were the absolute best to work with for our wedding! As a couple living on the East Coast, Kaci accepted us right away (via Zoom) and confidently took up the challenge of helping us plan from afar. We felt the warmth, expertise, and diligence she would bring to our event right away and throughout the planning process, where Kaci was available and communicative. She was stellar at prioritizing what was important for us while incorporating additional activities and logistics as they came up during the year-plus process. Wedding planning is stressful, but our virtual and in-person meetings felt just as lighthearted as they were productive.

Their suggested vendor options were outstanding - tailored to our needs and not overwhelming in the number of choices. Most of the vendors we hired had worked with Kaci before, so the rapport they shared made everything run smoothly up to, and throughout, the big day. Thanks to Kaci’s planning and day-of orchestration, every vendor and staff was on time, equally friendly and within our budget! Multiple family members and guests told us how impressed they were with her abilities.

We cannot recommend Kaci and her team enough to anyone who wants an expert wedding planner as much as a dear friend to take them up through the wedding planning journey. Thank you again to Kaci for being a phenomenal planner and person - our wedding was so special because of you!

Wedding Coordinator Review

Taylor was a phenomenal wedding coordinator and we whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone getting married in the Reno-Tahoe area! It was evident in every meeting, phone call, and email correspondence that Taylor was passionate about her role in ensuring our wedding day was executed to our vision as seamlessly as possible. She was easy to work with, had a positive attitude, and was well-known and well-regarded by all of our vendors.

Although we chose the “month of” package, Taylor provided us with a framework, timeline and budget tracker that guided us through the process of planning and executing our wedding from a year out to the big day. We had monthly email checkins that provided encouragement and advice, as well as vendor recommendations and contract reviews. All of which was very helpful, and her knowledge of the industry and local vendors was self-evident.

About a month before our wedding, we met with Taylor to go over everything that would happen the day before, the day of, and the day after our wedding day. From here she took on total communication with vendors, working with them to create our timeline and ensuring everyone was on the same page.

On the day of our wedding, Taylor expertly managed everything from set up to clean up, including small details like making sure we had drinks and apps in hand while signing our marriage license. At one point in the night, we had told her that everything went so smoothly and on-time, not even knowing that at one point she had to personally scare off a bear! Needless to say, she is an expert at making sure the bride and groom are at ease and handle any hiccups discreetly along the way!

If you want to work with a coordinator with a positive, can-do spirit who will bring you and your fiance’s vision to life, we highly recommend hiring Taylor!

Can't recommend XOXO enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Kaci and her team. We got to know Kaci because she planned a family member's wedding - and when it came time to planning our own, it was a complete no-brainer that we had to work with XOXO Weddings.

Kaci was organized, set out a clear plan for how we'd partner over the year+ planning process, and always kept the trains moving forward. We loved the vendors that she recommended and had so much trust in her ability to execute the wedding of our dreams. We most appreciated that Kaci always gave us options, checked in on what was important to us, and also guided us through making the inevitable traadeoffs. It felt like we had a special partner who had our best interest at heart. Thank you Kaci for such an incredible experience, and for making our wedding planning process a breeze.

Thank you, Lexi and XOXO, for being the best investment we made for our wedding!

We are so grateful for Lexi for making our wedding day perfect and stress-free. We first met Lexi virtually in January of this year (our wedding was in October) and immediately connected! My partner and I had a vague vision for our wedding but through our every other month meetings (which became more frequent as we got closer), Lexi provided us guidance, support, and advice to help us refine our vision. Lexi really went above and beyond and was the single best investment we made for our wedding. She made us feel so comfortable, was a great communicator, supported us with all of our decisions, and offered the best advice.

While Lexi’s support leading up to the wedding was amazing, her support the day before and day of the wedding was even more amazing, as it allowed us to hand off all of the logistics and just enjoy the weekend. Lexi managed all the moving parts with grace and truly set the tone for a stress-free wedding. Our families cannot stop raving about how great Lexi (and also her assistant Cassidy) were and we are so grateful! They really gave us the greatest gift - feeling completely at ease on the wedding day and that is truly priceless. I would highly recommend Lexi and the XOXO team to anyone and would be happy to provide more details to anyone curious about the experience. Thank you, Lexi, for being so great and being a huge part of our amazing day!!

An incredible experience with Mel

Mel made our wedding spectacular from start to finish, and helped keep us on budget in the process. We worked with her for months to hone our vision and she was helpful and available every step of the way. On our wedding day, Mel was truly incredible. She worked seamlessly in the background while we enjoyed the best day of our lives. We cannot recommend Mel and XOXO enough.

Above and Beyond

Kaci is a godsend!!!! We started working with Kaci about a year out from our wedding and, from the very beginning, she was organized, optimistic, perseverant, and kind. We loved our venue, but they were truly horrible communicators and Kaci handled it all in stride. Our wedding went off without a hitch-- and if there was one, I never knew about it!

I never expected our wedding to be perfect, but it really was just that... perfect. I cannot recommend XOXO Weddings highly enough. Thank you Kaci and team for allowing me and my husband to enjoy every aspect of our day!

Dream team!!!

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear utility belts loaded with everything anyone could need on their wedding day. From the moment we signed on with XOXO Weddings, Kaci and her team went above and beyond to make our dream wedding come to life. We could not have done it without them.

In the months leading up to the big day, Kaci handled all the logistical aspects of planning, from vendor communication to budget management to the finer details like making sure we knew when and where to get our marriage license. She was patient, enthusiastic, creative, caring, responsive, professional, and incredibly organized, always making us feel like a priority. She understood our vision and helped us execute every single thing we wanted. Having this expert guidance and trusted support took the stress out of planning, and that was the biggest luxury imaginable during our engagement.

Going into our wedding weekend, we knew the chaos behind the scenes would all be managed seamlessly so we could be fully present. And that’s exactly what happened. The venue was set up beautifully, exactly as we envisioned. All our needs were anticipated. The guest experience was smooth. The vendors all delivered perfectly. We will never forget how it felt to be so well taken care of on the most special day of our lives.

Kaci is truly a wedding expert whose passion for her work shines through in every interaction. The investment is worth every penny. If you’re planning a wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend hiring XOXO. You’ll be so happy you did.

Best Decision of my Wedding Day!

Taylor Hicks was the best decision I made for my June 2025 wedding at Valhalla Tahoe. There was about an 18 month period between the day we hired her to be our day of coordinator and our actual wedding day, however, Taylor was with us every step of the way. From the moment I first met Taylor, there was a sense of calm, organization, and love for Taylor Swift that I knew I wanted for my wedding day.

She thought of every detail and handled them seamlessly. From managing the timeline to dealing with all vendors, setting up decor, keeping wedding party members and family in check, she made the entire day flow effortlessly. Anytime a problem occurred, she handled it quietly and efficiently so we never even knew there was a hiccup. As a Type A person that stresses a lot, this was especially important for me as a bride on my wedding day.

Plus, everyone loved her at our wedding! From our wedding party members to our family and even guests, we got so many compliments on how great Taylor was!

Because of Taylor, we were able to enjoy our wedding day and not have to worry about a single detail. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner - go with Taylor!! You will not regret it and she is a rockstar!

The best team, shoutout to Mel

We had the pleasure of working with Mel for our wedding that just happened this weekend. I rushed to write this review while everything was fresh in my head. I worked with Mel for 1.5 years leading up to our big day and she did not disappoint. Despite the fact that Mel had to deal with a traumatic family event in the weeks leading up to my wedding, I never felt like she dropped the ball once. She was always available to respond to my messages, and never once made me feel like I was bothering her. I felt prioritized and confident in her. I'm a type A bride, and had so many vendors and things that needed to get done on the big day. It was a lot of moving parts. But Mel and her team executed it perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better planner and team to have executed my vision. All my guests were also so impressed with Mel and her team, with how professional they were and how they accurately and efficiently handled everything. They say every wedding has some unplanned hiccup, but I feel like thanks to Mel and her team, the night went seamlessly and perfectly. We stayed on schedule, and my vision came to life exactly how I wanted it. Big shoutout to Mel and her team once again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
