    Epic Thyme are the BEST!

    This review is long overdue because I worried I wouldn’t be able to find the right words to do the Epic team justice. We met Christi when we were first visiting our venue, Olympic Valley Stables in Tahoe. She was there setting up for a wedding and took a few minutes to chat with us. We loved her energy right away, her positivity, professionalism, and easy-going attitude. Hiring Epic Thyme was the easiest decision. From the moment we began working together, Christi, Monique and their team were perfect. They listened and heard when we described the wedding we envisioned, one that blended cultures and traditions and included children. Nothing seemed to throw them; they just magically they made it happen. They helped us choose vendors who would reflect our style and expectations. They were generous with their time and energy, extremely organized with budgets, communication, and timelines, and creative with vision boards to help us see all the parts and pieces put together. We worked together as a team beautifully and knew we could trust their choices and decisions 100%. Christi and Monique are joyful and energetic, and they seem to love the party planning process. When problems arose (and they naturally do), they were reassuring and relaxed, just figured out a solution without drama. A few months before our rehearsal dinner, when we foolishly thought we could plan and host the event ourselves - and realized we couldn’t - they jumped in and seamlessly took over, so the rest of us could relax and enjoy the entire weekend of events. We have already recommended Epic Thyme to friends with weddings in the future, and we will continue to sing their praises! And, we would hire them again in a heartbeat! So happy we chose to work with you, Christi and Monique! The only negative is the planning process is over and we miss you!

    Incredible Wedding Planner

    Every detail was seamless. Everything they did exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was absolutely incredible. The whole experience was stress-free. Every vender they connected us with was so incredible. And their design taste could not have been better. With top notch budgeting skills. Thank you so very much Epic. We love you and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

    Look no further for the most EPIC wedding / event party

    We are BEAMING writing this review for Epic Thyme. Christi, Monique and Dani planned and ran our wedding in June 2023 at the North Lake Tahoe Event Center, and it was truly EPIC! Epic Thyme did it all - they are amazing at designing a wedding that fits your vibe and budget (down to the tiniest details), project/vendor manage-ing the planning and day-of execution of realizing that vibe, and considering your and your guests’ experience throughout the day so the wedding goes off without a hitch. They’re professional, structured, highly communicative, and on top of all of that, they’re the most fun!! They’ll be the first person at the venue the day of the wedding (and the day before!), and the last to leave, and they brought so much positive energy, good vibes and smiles on the wedding day and the 9+ months in planning! The team really goes above and beyond for their clients, and we’re so immensely thankful we had the chance to work with them to plan the party of a lifetime.

    Best Wedding Planning Service!

    Epic Thyme helped us plan the best wedding we could have ever hoped for! My wife and I originally searched high and low for planners in the Tahoe area, and after meeting with Christi we knew she was a great fit for us. She exudes a perfect blend of professionalism, knowledge, confidence and chill that worked so well for us in planning our wedding!

    We hired Epic Thyme for the full wedding planning service, and they knew exactly what we needed within the first 1-2 meetings. They use Aisle Planner for planning, which was a great resource for checklists/deadlines, and also have plenty of their own pages including templates for song selection, ceremony processional, discount codes, etc. So much accumulated knowledge! Along the way, Christi and team always made us feel confident, no matter the curveballs that were thrown our way. During the course of planning, we changed the location and date of our wedding, while also having Epic Thyme expand to add more members to the team, and Christi just *handled* it like it wasn't even a thing. I seriously don't even understand how she manages to squeeze more than 24 hours out of a day; truly unlimited energy!

    Leading up the wedding, our meetings increased in frequency which was perfect for all the last-minute details. Epic Thyme handled so many things here, including signage, ceremony and reception timelines, and meeting with vendors separately to make sure everyone is on the same page. We truly felt like we were in great hands the entire time, and Epic Thyme knew exactly what to do to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch!

    The wedding day itself was seamless; if anything went wrong, we didn't notice it or hear about it! Christi and Danni were so great about keeping to the timeline, making sure we (and vendors) knew where to be and when, and made it so easy for us to enjoy our wedding and be mindful and present the entire day! Everything was so beautiful and it was truly the perfect weekend.

    Long story short, Christi, Monique, Danni, and crew were the absolute best choice for our wedding. By the end, they felt like family and I'm so bummed that we don't have our wedding meetings anymore! Seeing the business grow as we were clients was so fun, and we have all the confidence in the world that Epic Thyme will keep pulling off AMAZING weddings and reach truly stratospheric levels. If you have a wedding in the Tahoe (or extended) area, EPIC THYME is the planner service you need! Don't hesitate, just meet with them and you'll see!

    Huge thanks to Christi + team! Love you all so much and loved our amazing Tahoe wedding!

    Look no further for your wedding planner!

    Christi, Dani, Monique, and all staff involved, thank you so much for everything. You made our big day flow so effortlessly and we all know how much hard work it takes to pull off a spectacular wedding. From your design consults, to helping dial in the details, you helped through every step of the way. EVEN going as far as finding my Grandmothers gold wedding band that fell off my finger during our photos...in the most difficult place to locate it!! We appreciate you and everything you did to make our wedding everything we wanted and more.

    Epic Thyme Wedding Planners are a must for every bride!!

    Words cannot describe the joy, happiness and fun we experienced at my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding. Epic Thyme was a huge part in making the weekend so incredibly special.

    From the beginning, Christi was organized, enthusiastic, and willing to be available whenever we needed her. My daughter-in-law is very organized and appreciated working with people who provided her with a calm, professional approach to ensuring all items would be covered for the big day.

    On their wedding day (and even for our Friday night welcome party), Christi and Monique were on top of coordinating every detail. They transformed the wedding venue into a magical setting that was enjoyed by all! So many compliments were received from our guests throughout the night.

    Christie and Monique gracefully guided all parties involved to ensure every duty was carried out to perfection. The bride and groom were able to fully enjoy their time with family and friends without any worries or concerns. It was a memorable weekend for all of us!

    A mother hopes for her children to have the wedding of their dreams. I know that my son and daughter-in-law truly had their dream wedding thanks to Christi and Epic Thyme!! They were more than wedding planners; they were caring, thoughtful and felt like family in the end. Christi and the Epic Thyme team believe in a true love story and make it happen!

    Amazing amazing amazing

    Epic Thyme truly enabled us to have the wedding of our dreams. I couldn't recommend hiring Christi and team more!

    We found Epic Thyme accidently after I had scrubbed the internet near and far for different wedding venues in California. I had a particular vision in mind and was having trouble finding a venue that would deliver what I wanted. I then somehow stumbled on the Epic Thyme Instagram and there it was. My perfect venue =Basecamp Tahoe South. Outdoors, woodsy, laid back but still elevated, romantic, and easily accessible to out of town travelers.

    After finding Basecamp I knew we owed Epic Thyme a call since it was her Instagram to lead us to this awesome find. During our initial call with Christi it was truly love at first sight. Christi was so lovely, she is the perfect balance of professional and knowledgeable but also endearing and laid back.

    Having all of Epic Thyme's knowledge at our fingertips led us to having so much more than we would have been able to imagine on our own. Who knew you could hire a dog handler who specialized in weddings! Christi did! Who knew you could find a videographer that only shoots footage and doesn't edit! Christi did! Their fee's nearly paid for themselves if you factor in all the negotiation Christi did with our vendors. On top of that, we knew we would have the best team of vendors because Christi had worked with them in the past and knew which vendors best suited our style, venue and budget.

    I am a very organized person however sometimes get overwhelmed in situations of stress. Having Christi and team fully enabled me to enjoy not only the day of the wedding but the whole planning process. By the end, Epic Thyme felt like part of the fam. Thank you so much for being a part of this special moment and making it more than I could have ever planned on my own. We are really grateful to you!

    Amazing Planners!

    I could write a very lengthy review expressing how great Epic Thyme is, but I will keep it as concise as possible. Christi is incredibly talented at event planning and since hiring her in 2020 (our wedding finally happened in 2022), she built a team and they are all incredible to work with. I always looked forward to our planning calls and she listened to every dream I had, reeled me in when I needed it, and was taking care of minor speed bumps up until the very last minute. Epic Thyme goes above and beyond for their clients and other local vendors attested to their quality of work to me as well. Hands down one of the best decisions of my wedding planning process was choosing them. They put SO much hard work and effort into making your event exactly what you want it to be and will always exceed expectations.

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    Thank you so much, Carolina!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxox I had such a blast working together! I am so excited to watch your wedding video!!! The team said it is amazing!!

    Would hire Christi to do all my events moving forward

    OK-can so say enough about this absolute brilliant wedding planner? Let’s start of with Christi’s personality:chill. Chill but professional and she gives you the feeling of her very much being in control yet so friendly you want to be friends in real life after your wedding is over. Her work ethic is superb. I was so impressed with her clearly ideating on her toes and then executing on some of our last minute day of changes that arose. The details! My gosh. She thought of EVERYTHING. I was a floating princess with not a care in the world this past weekend. Her 10 years of experience is evident in every part of the process through the day. I can’t say enough about her and her team. Shout outs to Danni, Bailey, and Monique. Thank you again for making our day perfect!

    Simply the best wedding planners!

    Christi, Monique and the entire team at Epic Thyme are just fabulous. When people ask how our wedding weekend went, the answer we give is that it was the best weekend of our lives, and that truly would not have happened without them. First, the decor. You know when you go to the hairdresser with a picture of a celebrity and ask for your hair to look exactly like theirs, only to realize it never does? I never imagined that Christi would be able to bring our inspiration photos to life, EXACTLY how we imagined them to be, but she did! The entire process of working with Epic Thyme was great. We genuinely enjoyed our planning sessions each week and trusted that they had everything under control. My husband and I were both very busy with work leading up to the wedding so without their help, we aren't sure what we would have done. While there really were no hiccups throughout the wedding weekend, when little things did come up, Epic Thyme handled everything with ease. The hotel we all stayed at was supposed to keep their bar open for our guests after the welcome dinner, but they closed early. Christi and Monique found a bar a few blocks away before the dinner was over and had a spot reserved for our guests in no time. Epic Thyme truly handled everything for us. They found us incredible vendors, handled all the coordination, helped us put together welcome bags, and managed everything during the weekend so we could spend time with our guests. We cannot thank Epic Thyme enough for making our weekend the most special. Not only were they the most incredible wedding planners, but we now see them as our friends too. We were honored to close out the evening with a final cheers at 3:30am with the best team :) THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    You both are such amazing human beings, and we feel so fortunate to have worked with you all year, on your wedding. The best part was finally meeting you in person, and seeing your smiling faces! You were both such a joy to work with, and we are so happy that your wedding was everything you dreamed of. Thank you for trusting us on your big day -- it's clients like you who make our job so rewarding! Sending all our love!

    - Monique

    The Best of the Best!

    Christi and her team at Epic Thyme are the absolute best! My husband and I got engaged in December 2020 and hit the ground running with vendors. One we solidified our venue (Holbrooke Hotel, Grass Valley) we connected with Christi who generously reopened her books to take us on as clients. We couldn’t wait for our monthly check-ins with Christi, she has the best energy! She is calm, organized, and a total blast to work with! Every detail was seamless from rentals to execution during our rehearsal and day of. Christi and her team went out of their way to ensure smooth communication with our vendor team ahead of the event, and every detail was flawless! She habitually goes above and beyond, even escorting my Mom up to her room after the reception and magically (!) delivering her cell phone that she didn’t even realize she left behind. I can’t recommend Christi and Epic Thyme enough. She made our wedding experience seamless, and we already miss her so much! I’m already plotting ways to work with her in the future. Take it from us, RUN don’t walk to hire her!

    Everything you could ask for

    At first, I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner. I had heard great things about Christi and Epic Thyme but I was not sure how it could really be worth it and my now wife just said “trust me, you will be glad we did”. Over the next 9 months, we met with Christi via zoom at least each month (we live across the country) and more frequently as the day approached. Each meeting was organized, efficient, and gave us all the confidence we could hope for that our special day was in good hands—Christi knows and prepares for everything. The wedding itself was perfect. Every detail was accounted for and all we really had to do was enjoy every moment—which is exactly what a well planned and executed wedding should be. Looking back I would not change a thing. Do yourself a favor and go with Epic Thyme. With the hundreds of decision that were made surrounding the wedding, hiring Christi was the first and best one. I cannot recommend Epic Thyme enough!

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    Aww!! David!! You are so sweet!! It was an honor to do Kaela's sister's wedding and now Kaela's wedding-- that was a dream of mine!! You married into a wonderful family, and I enjoyed meeting your family as well! I hope to get invited to a family reunion one day!! Remember us!!! oxoxox

    Magicians, each and every one of them!

    There is just no way possible to capture the pure magic that Epic Thyme creates into words. However, Epic Thyme went above and beyond the call of duty with me as their client and for our music festival wedding extravaganza, so I must try my best to explain, as anyone planning any event would be beyond blessed to even consider them. To begin with, Christi and Monique are beautiful people inside and out with hearts of gold and the desire to bring magic and joy to each event they do. As I worked with them for the last year and a half planning my wedding, I quickly grew to love them as they people they are, the work they do, and truly looked forward to each and every meeting I had with them. That being said, I was no easy bride. I had a million and one completely crazy dreams and went absolutely buck wild with planning, crafting, and constant new ideas. Not only did they make me feel validated, they worked endlessly and tirelessly to ensure my crazy dreams were being fulfilled. Fast forward to my wedding, which was flawless and hands down the greatest event any of our guests had ever been to, I truly have no idea how they possibly managed to make every single moment, event, idea, and more so incredibly perfect (but I suspect magic and a lot of hard work), all with a giant smile on their face. My music festival wedding went off without a hitch, even in 93 MPH winds. Tears come to my eyes as I write this because it was a near impossible task that they beyond delivered on. There is not one moment the entire day or night that I would change for all the money in the world. It was better than I ever could have dreamed, and this is all because of these incredibly talented women at Epic Thyme. My husband, our guests, and I are beyond blessed with the memories of this magical day and the world is truly a better place because of the work that they do. Thank you for making this little girl’s completely absurd dreams come true.

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    WEDDING OF THE CENTURY!!! The band(s), DJ(s), vibe, and decor were INSANE! You are amazing Bailey!! So organized and you set the bar HIGH (the pressure was on!) We wanted to make sure it was perfect for you and we didn't stop until it was perfect plus EXTRA!!!! FULL A-TEAM! oxoxo

    Absolutely THE best wedding planner!

    Christi and Monique were our lifesavers! We had a wedding at my mom's house and they completely transformed her backyard (and driveway!) into the most magical venue I've ever seen. They were so accommodating to our quirky requests and really took the reins as we were so busy and fairly hands off with the whole planning experience. From vendors, to decorations, to being there for the rehearsal and support during the wedding day, they were beyond professional, personable, and created the most amazing day for us to celebrate with our friends and family. We can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was, from the first meeting to the breakdown the following day. We loved working with Epic Thyme and would recommend them to anyone looking for the absolute best, coolest, most down to earth wedding planner! xo- Kate & Bob

    Seriously the BEST. Amazing, caring, and personal.

    Compared to other reviews, mine might look a little different. Because after almost a year of working with Christi to plan my wedding, my wedding was cancelled due to personal reasons. So was I able to witness Christi being organized and on top of everything on the day of my wedding? No, but my review is just as valuable. It’s important to know how a vendor handles things when all is going well, but especially is &$@# hits the fan. Because through all of the stress and pain of cancelling a wedding, Christi treated me with love, kindness, understanding, and compassion. She helped me every step of the way. She checked in with me, contacted all of my vendors, consistently followed up with vendors, and gave me extremely valuable advice. She never treated me like “just a client”. She genuinely treated me like a friend. I am very thankful for Christi and for all of her kindness and guidance through this last year. While I was wedding planning, we met monthly to go over wedding planning. She uses a wedding planning online system that is absolutely amazing! She is extremely organized and passionate. She is creative and has amazing and innovative ideas. I love to plan, but I had too many ideas. Christi helped me finalize details and narrow things down. I always felt heard and she truly helped me plan the wedding of my dreams. She will be there every step of the way with you and make sure everything gets done on your to do list. I highly recommend Christi to anyone and everyone planning a wedding.

    Worth every penny.

    When my wife and I began our wedding planning process, we tried to do many of the tasks by ourselves. Initially we made some headway, but as things got more and more complicated we realized we needed help; we never would have achieved our goals without Christi's hard work!
    Once we brought Christi on as our planner she helped us fine-tune our vision for the wedding, and kept us on task to make sure everything was in order. There were so many details that we never would have thought of!
    Additionally, the day-of coordination was absolutely worth it; everything went smoothly and allowed us (and all our family) to actually enjoy ourselves. Christi's extensive experience and work ethic was invaluable.

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Chris!! I had so much fun!!! I look forward to riding with you both at Sugar Bowl this season!! WHOTT WHOTT!

    Best Wedding Planner EVER!

    I couldn’t have asked for more in a wedding planner! Christie went above and beyond in helping us to plan our wedding. She thought of all the little details and kept me on track. We had to reschedule our wedding due to covid and she kept calm and was resourceful and thought out of the box. Whenever there was a hiccup, she kept me calm and assured me it would all work out- and it did! When the big event arrived we were able to relax and enjoy as Christie and Monique took care of so many details from making sure everything was clean and sparkling to managing vendors and greeting guests. It was so worth it to not have to worry about anything and to be able to trust Christie completely. She’s easy going, down to earth, non-judgmental and a creative thinker. I recommend Epic Thyme whole heartedly!

    Christi & Monique made our wedding day 100% stress-free! and go off without a hitch or thought!

    Having a wedding planner was not originally part of our plan or budget. But as planning moved along, and we somehow seemed to be moving backwards, we decided to hire a planner. Searching through vendors can be so difficult and stressful, so if you are looking and reading this- STOP. And send Christi a message to see if she is available for your day!
    I am indecisive. My husband's job has him away from home several months at a time, so I did much of the planning on my own. But I was not really on my own! Christi helped me make decisions, stay on track & in budget, and was such a blast to meet with on top of all of it! She helped us create a vision for the wedding, which we could not have ever created on our own. She helped us to find vendors that kept us in our budget and led us to the best DJ- DJ Dave Berkman!
    When we first found Epic Thyme, it was just Christi, but we are so grateful to have had Monique there leading up and for the day of our wedding. Because of these two ladies, my husband and I did not have to think about a single thing the day of the wedding. It allowed us, our family, and friends to truly just enjoy every moment throughout the day. They helped keep the whole day on schedule and in a way that never made us feel rushed. Our entire wedding week was stress-free!
    Christi went above and beyond. For example, the day before, she picked up the bulk flowers we ordered from a flower farm and helped us put together beautiful flower arrangements! She also helped my mother-in-law coordinate the rehearsal dinner, which was amazing! Every detail was so beautiful and so fun and would not have been possible without the two of them!
    About 6 weeks before our wedding we had to re-do the entire reception from CA to Nevada because of COVID restrictions and Christi helped us navigate all of this and all of these changes. It made such an incredible difference to have a professional help us get through all of the stress of these changes and talk with our new venue, all while doing this for other couples as well!
    One of the biggest lessons learned is that planning your wedding, while it will have stressful moments, should be mostly FUN! You are about to marry the love of your life and your best friend! If you are looking for an amazing team to help you plan a beautiful celebration, Christi will help you make all your wedding dreams a reality while keeping it full of laughter and love!!! We absolutely loved working with her! She did more for us than I can even write in this review, so I will just leave it at hiring Epic Thyme was one of the best planning decisions that we made!

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    We had so much fun at our meetings!! We miss chatting with you both!! I appreciate how down-to-earth, compassionate, and kind you both are! With all the traveling, work, and Matt leaving for months at a time, it was a great idea to get us on the team! It was our absolute pleasure! Let's hit the mountains next time you are in town!! oxoxoxo

    The best!

    Christi/Epic Thyme is AMAZING! To be honest I did not think we needed to have a wedding planner. After talking to Christi I was so clearly wrong and wish she could plan everything in my life now- lol! She made planning our destination wedding so incredibly easy, and more importantly enjoyable. Not only was the day perfect, but the whole 9 months planning it was actually fun and completely stress free for my husband and I (which says a LOT considering we had a last minute venue Change due to covid). Our families were able to relax, enjoy the weekend and take in every special moment and it’s all because of Christi and her team. She offered great advice throughout the whole process, kept in touch with us over the course of our engagement and planning, and kept us on track and extremely organized every step of the way. Truly I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you Epic Thyme!

    An epic wedding weekend thanks to Epic Thyme

    Christi and Epic Thyme are the best! When we first reached out to Christi, we still hadn’t decided on the location for our destination wedding. It didn’t matter, because after one conversation we knew immediately that Christi was the wedding planner we needed in our lives. She was personable, professional, organised, helpful, creative, knowledgeable, chill — literally everything you could hope for when planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic and from afar. Christi was so good at listening to both of our ideas and using her own planning and design expertise to essentially 10x every idea we had. I am honestly amazed by how she was able to transform our ideas and a few of our favorite Pinterest pins into something so amazing. It was such a relief to be able to hand project management of all wedding things over to Christi, so my husband and I could have time for some of the other planning tasks and also focus on other things. When we had to make the difficult decision to cut our guest count to comply with local pandemic guidelines, Christi helped us to tweak the details of the weekend to create a really fun, intimate event. We had such an amazing weekend with our families.

    The day after our wedding when we said goodbye to Christi, it felt like we were saying goodbye as friends. We had gotten used to regular calls with her and truly enjoyed her support and friendship in the months leading up to our wedding day.
    We loved working with Christi and would recommend Epic Thyme hands down to any couple that needs help planning their wedding in Lake Tahoe and beyond. Christi, thanks again for helping us put together the perfect wedding weekend with our family. It was better than we ever could have imagined.

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    Awwww! You both really made me feel like part of the family, the event so was special and intimate!! It is definitely one I will always remember (my first time in an airstream!!)! I mean we literally hired someone to follow you around while playing the guitar!! It was so romantic!! AND the first dance outside under the full moon/twinkle lights on that cute rug, surrounded in lanterns, with live music!! It was perfect, I look at that photo often!!! I am a huge fan of small weddings after planning yours! I miss our calls from Luxembourg!! You two are so dang cute and have great taste! Let me know if you come back over here!! I want to meet up!!

    Amazing skills and commitment!!

    My husband had a 3-way bypass exactly 1 month before our planned 50th wedding celebration. In due course he was medically cleared to participate, but I knew I couldn't complete event plans that were well behind schedule while serving as a full-time caregiver.
    Kristi leapt into the gap, leading a team of our friends in an amazing effort that completely freed me from concern and resulted in an very, very special afternoon. I had known she had good skills, known she was a true professional, but I was unprepared for her level of personal commitment to leading the hastily-assembled team to an absolutely amazing result. I look forward to working with her again and cannot recommend her highly enough. A thousand thanks, Kristi, for making our special day so do-able.

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    Thank you, Scottie! It was our pleasure! I feel like part of the family and I am looking forward to our Luncheon next month! :)

    Magicians, each and every one of them!

    There is just no way possible to capture the pure magic that Epic Thyme creates into words. However, Epic Thyme went above and beyond the call of duty with me as their client and for our music festival wedding extravaganza, so I must try my best to explain, as anyone planning any event would be beyond blessed to even consider them. To begin with, Christi and Monique are beautiful people inside and out with hearts of gold and the desire to bring magic and joy to each event they do. As I worked with them for the last year and a half planning my wedding, I quickly grew to love them as they people they are, the work they do, and truly looked forward to each and every meeting I had with them. That being said, I was no easy bride. I had a million and one completely crazy dreams and went absolutely buck wild with planning, crafting, and constant new ideas. Not only did they make me feel validated, they worked endlessly and tirelessly to ensure my crazy dreams were being fulfilled. Fast forward to my wedding, which was flawless and hands down the greatest event any of our guests had ever been to, I truly have no idea how they possibly managed to make every single moment, event, idea, and more so incredibly perfect (but I suspect magic and a lot of hard work), all with a giant smile on their face. My music festival wedding went off without a hitch, even in 93 MPH winds. Tears come to my eyes as I write this because it was a near impossible task that they beyond delivered on. There is not one moment the entire day or night that I would change for all the money in the world. It was better than I ever could have dreamed, and this is all because of these incredibly talented women at Epic Thyme. My husband, our guests, and I are beyond blessed with the memories of this magical day and the world is truly a better place because of the work that they do. Thank you for making this little girl’s completely absurd dreams come true.

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    THANK YOU BAILEY!! It was our pleasure!! The wind was REAL! We carry a very extension emergency kit to each event and we definitely used ALL our gnarly carpet tape and sticky putty to literally GLUE all the decor down to withstand the 93 MPH wind! But only we knew that part!! That was a badass wedding of the century! Thank you Bailey for all the hours you put in as well! You are an amazing planner too!

    Love Epic Thyme - Best of the Best

    Christi is truly the best! Such a fun personality with a proactive approach to everything. She is super thorough in her work and so pleasant to work with. She definitely kept us on track in planning our wedding and made it fun along the way. We had a lot to do still when we hired Christi, which was everything from vendor choosing to design and details, in just about 4 months - wedding date was 9/27/20.
    With COVID and the CA fire season and PGE outages, we were definitely hit with some obstacles, but Christi helped us handle every single one quickly and effectively.
    The day of our wedding, PG&E turned off the power during cocktail hour, luckily we had Christi to get the generators running!

    For any Bride or Groom reading this review, this is one of the many reasons why you need a wedding coordinator! And Christi is your girl !!!! :)

    All our guests keep complimenting on how well our coordinator (Christi) did, every single one of our guests enjoyed themselves!

    We certainly couldn’t have pulled it off without Epic Thyme!

    THANK YOU Christi for making our big day possible and so special! Dustin and I appreciate all your work and patience with all our changes! This is now our most favorite day! 💓

    Epic Thyme's reply:

    Yay! Thank you, Adriana! Mother Nature definitely tested us and we prevailed!!! Between Covid, Wild Fires, and the Power Outages, I know for sure that we can do ANYTHING we set our minds to!! It was such a beautiful and fun event!! Thank you for trusting us!!!
