    Karen was wonderful to work with! She and her team member helped make our wedding day so seamless. Small details that I had forgotten I even asked Karen to help with, she was on top of. We were so impressed by their level of kindness, support and professionalism. We could not recommend Tahoe by Design enough! Additionally, Karen was so kind to check on me leading up to the wedding and made sure to let me know she was there if we needed anything. I owe her for helping keep my nerves and anxiety at a minimum.

    Karen was absolutely indispensable. She provided support beyond what we expected for day-of coordination, and we had a great time throughout the planning process. Our wedding had some very last minute weather issues and Karen carried all of us through without a hitch. You can tell she really loves this work, and we can’t recommend her highly enough

  • Excellent Wedding Planner!

    I am a DJ in the wedding industry who loves working with Karen and her team at weddings! She is very easy to work with before and during weddings, she is very responsive with phone calls and emails plus she goes above and beyond to take care of us as a vendor. She also makes our job easy because she works as our second set of eyes to make sure all of the details are executed during our clients' weddings. Her experience as a planner makes her one of the very best in the wedding industry. I would highly recommend Tahoe By Design for your wedding or event!!!
