Merrily Wed - Tahoe City, California

Alyssa Turner Studzinski

Merrily is an absolute dream to work with. From the very start of our initial planning process, all the way to the wedding day, she was always an excellent communicator, reliable, and always looking out for our best interest. She has wonderful relationships with other local Tahoe wedding vendors, and we are so thrilled she connected us with the best photographer, florist, caterer and more. She gave us the peace of mind that we needed planning the most important day of our lives. Our wedding was stunning, and guests keep telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they have attended, and I cannot agree more! Merrily has such a tasteful, talented, creative eye for wedding details, and we are so happy we trusted her completely with her vision. If you are looking for a planner who will create the Tahoe wedding of your dreams, you need to choose Merrily- she's the best of the best!

Merrily was the key to making our wedding as wonderful as it was. Throughout the planning process she was great at listening to our preferences and suggesting solutions that worked for us. Every time I felt overwhelmed Merrily had a path forward. She was able to suggest multiple vendors that all ended up being fantastic. She is well connected in the Tahoe area and every vendor we used would comment how much they loved working with Merrily.

Her organization and planning helped us stay on top of tasks, and made the entire planning process a lot more manageable. The day-of the wedding was virtually stress free, Merrily handled everything behind the scenes so we could simply show up and enjoy ourselves. I can’t imagine the amount of details we would have missed without her, hiring Merrily was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process.

As a Lake Tahoe wedding photographer, I’ve worked with Merrily Rocco numerous times, and she’s truly one of the best wedding planners in the industry. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail are unmatched, and she consistently turns her clients’ visions into seamless, breathtaking events.

Merrily is hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. I was on the fence about hiring a planner at all as I work in event planning and had a very clear vision for what I wanted, so I wasn't sure if a planner was even something we needed. However, after our initial meeting with Merrily, it was clear that she was an expert in her field and would completely remove any of the stress/logistical lift of the planning process. We had met with at least 5 other local planners and there wasn't even a question about Merrily being our top choice. She is organized, resourceful, professional and truly just made the wedding planning process such a joy. There were many facets of wedding planning I hadn't even considered-- like vendor relationships in Lake Tahoe (so important) and private estate logistics. Having her as our planner meant all of the nuanced logistics/vendor comms were handled, which allowed my fiance and I to focus on the creative and decor elements we were most excited about. She is absolutely the reason we enjoyed the wedding planning process so much (my fiance and I both loved it) and the reason we were so relaxed on our wedding day. Merrily executed our vision to a tee, and working with her over the last 1.5 years has been such a privilege. Thank you, Merrily!

Merrily was so great to work with, from beginning to end she make everything so much easier and helped to give us the perfect wedding day. She has amazing contacts, and all of her recommended vendors were highlights of the day. On our wedding day she had to think on her feet and make last minute decisions due to weather that worked out seamlessly. It was so fun working with her and all of our planning and her hard work really shined through to make it a perfect day.

Merrily was the absolute best to work with! We had a crazy Tahoe day complete with rain, hail, wind and snow in August! Merrily seamlessly made it all work and work beautifully. Her recommendations on the caterer, rentals and the band were spot on.
It was truly magical and a day to never forget.
Thank you again Merrily for all your hard work and coordination.

I highly recommend Merrily to anyone looking to make their wedding planning journey an easier one! From the very beginning Merrily kept us on track and made the process digestible. She worked directly with all our wedding vendors and pros so we did not have to, but made sure keep us in the loop and communicate often. She gave us choices that fell in line with both our vision as well as our budget. She made our perfect day come to life and I recommend her services to anyone planning their Tahoe wedding!

Working with Merrily was so wonderful! She helped us to plan our dream wedding in Lake Tahoe this summer. Over the course of about 10 months, Merrily helped us to envision and execute a perfect day. My husband and I both have pretty time-consuming jobs in NYC and working with Merrily made the cross-country wedding planning process relatively stress-free. We regularly communicated via email and met twice in person– an initial meeting about 10 months out and then a big planning meeting 2 months before the big day (it would have been earlier in the process, but we were snowed out of Tahoe!). We immediately clicked with Merrily and are so glad that she guided us through the entire planning experience and not to mention, our wedding day! When Merrily asked us about our vision, I shared a picture of a specific wildflower bouquet that I’d been dreaming about. She immediately understood what I was looking to create and this picture became the guiding light for our wedding. After understanding our desire, she recommended local vendors that would best bring that vision to life. She kept us on top of everything, always reminding us when and what we needed to do to coordinate with vendors, select décor and create a plan to keep our wedding day running smoothly. During the wedding, Merrily took care of everything and made the day absolutely stress-free for me and my husband. I’m sure things went wrong, but Merrily didn’t let on to any of it and I am so thankful because we were able to be super present and focus on the magic of what was happening. Our wedding was absolutely breathtaking and perfect – all thanks to Merrily and the teams that brought our dream to life!
