MIRA Events + Design -

Before we sing their praises for the fantastic job they did for us, it’s worth noting that Miranda and her MiraWED team were the ONLY Tahoe area planners we reached out to who responded in a timely fashion and who seemed to have a truly professional operation. We went looking for a planner *before* the pandemic started and until we stumbled on MiraWED, the best response time we’d gotten was 10 days after our initial inquiry. Nobody wants an unresponsive planner who can’t manage their inbound communications from clients, so that alone is reason enough to choose MiraWED!

But Miranda didn’t just meet our minimum requirements. She rolled with punches in 2020 that none of us saw coming. We had so many questions for her on our planning calls that planners had never had to answer before. Miranda always deferred to what we felt comfortable with, and never lost her sense of humor. We must have reconsidered our guest list 20 times before ultimately deciding that it was safest and fairest to our friends and family for us to turn our wedding into an outdoor elopement instead. We told Miranda we wanted to make it a styled shoot, essentially, and that we still wanted all the lovely touches that a wedding would normally have, but plopped in some pretty outdoor location (where she wouldn’t have the usual advantages for setup and breakdown!).

From the time we arrived in Tahoe ahead of our elopement, Miranda was communicative and ready to go above and beyond what we’d asked of her, even though what we’d asked was already much more difficult than usual. Because the “off season” in Tahoe never really materialized in 2020, Miranda actually had to scout our location (with our fabulous photographer) on the day of our wedding, to make sure we’d be able to find nearby parking and avoid unwanted interlopers. Folks asking when and where in Tahoe we were getting married were confused when we cheerily replied that we didn’t exactly know, but by that point, we’d learned to trust Miranda and trust the process!

And, y’all, IT. WAS. PERFECT. I don’t know how to describe it in a way that doesn’t sound super corny, but walking up to our ceremony site was like stepping into a fairytale. It was magical. Miranda did a wonderful job of coordinating with the other vendors and procuring the decor, champagne, and other finishing touches for us. She made sure we didn't have to worry about loading anything in or out, and could just enjoy ourselves. We even asked her to officiate, which she did a beautiful job of. Her team was great, too! The bridal assistant she brought had to hike in step with me while holding my cathedral-length train (at least I could see where I was walking!), but she was so considerate and calming throughout, and was a genuinely delightful addition to our special day.

We highly recommend MiraWED, especially for any couple who wants an exception experience beyond what you normally find in Tahoe! And if you're looking for live music, Miranda happens to be very talented at that, too!

Long story short, Miranda and her team were the best investment we made for our wedding. Throughout preparation she helped us stay the course and put together all of the details both large and small. We had monthly calls where Miranda diligently went over every minute detail, provided sound advice, and continuously checked in on our stress levels. The team went above and beyond helping us generally plan our weekend long event and planning every detail of our wedding day. Not only did the team work diligently leading up to the day, but they were also so attentive the day of. Miranda and her team seemed to have a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C for every eventuality. Jennifer was my rock during the getting ready process and kept every single person in the wedding party in line. Overall, HIGHLY recommend you use MiraWed to plan your wedding. Like I said, best investment, you won't regret it!

The experience working with MIRAwed was absolutely fabulous! The process was very enjoyable and fun working with Miranda and Jillian to plan our Tahoe wedding dream. They always had backup plans and creative design details to fit what we were looking for and make the process as smooth as possible with their expertise and knowledge of the area and local vendors. MIRAwed was easy to communicate with which was a must because we are on the East coast and could not travel to Tahoe frequently for the planning process. It was also a bonus that MIRAwed's mission is to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Would definitely recommend them to a friend in a heartbeat!

MIRA was the planner for our wedding last July and we're so glad we chose them! We selected the "month of" package, but they still met with us once a month throughout the entire planning process to check in and provide advice. That was so helpful!! The amount of work that goes on behind the scenes is incredible - they coordinated with all of our vendors and they're so good at it, we (the bride and groom) don't have to stop to even think about it! Starting at rehearsal and all the way through the wedding, everything ran perfectly. Jennifer was our wedding party liaison and at first I wasn't sure what that really was but MY GOODNESS she was helpful. On the wedding day, she knew what I needed when I needed it. Amazing job to all three women who helped out. We highly recommend MIRA!
