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

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

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

Hiring Christi and Monique was by far one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding experience. I looked forward to our monthly meetings so much and Christi makes planning for a wedding fun and seamless. She is so organized, knows her stuff and her calm, cool, kind demeanor made planning a great experience. We ended up hiring them for our rehearsal dinner last minute because it felt really overwhelming and they stepped up right away and made it feel easy breezy. Everything was perfect the day of the wedding and we couldn't thank Christi and Monique enough. I would recommend Epic

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 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

Working with Epic Thyme for our wedding in July 2021 was great.

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

Christi transformed our dream wedding into reality!!!! We had the vision in our head and she made it come to fruition! She personally dealt with all of our vendors as the date got closer so we didn't have to stress. Then she was on site consistently throughout the weekend to handle anything and everything that came up. We are lucky to have worked with her and grateful for all of her time and effort!!!

Christi and the Epic Thyme team were an absolute pleasure to work with! We had monthly check-in calls with Christi to ensure that we were on track with our planning. She is such an awesome person too and we always looked forward to laughing on zoom with Christi every month. She did an absolutely fantastic job making sure we didn't miss a beat with our planning and helping to make our dream and vision come to life. She offers a variety of planning packages depending on what you need, which was great.
We are out of state, so it was wonderful to have someone local to help with some of the research

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.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars, because Christi Nasser with Epic Thyme deserves it. Christi was the best part of our wedding, and we are forever grateful we were lucky enough to hire her. When I first reached out to Christi she was on a weekend snowboard trip with friends, but the venue I was interested in was "close" (not really) so she agreed to sneak away and meet with me. I knew after our first meeting I needed Christi's expertise with my wedding planning venture. Christi was the first wedding decision we made in regards to our wedding, and I am so thankful we had her

Words cannot explain how amazing Christi of Epic Thyme is. If you don't read the whole review, the short version is that we recommend Christi without hesitation. You won't be disappointed!
We had a wedding planned for Aug 2020 on the CA side of Tahoe and of course had to change plans. We tried a plan B, which wasn't going to be on the west coast anymore, but Christi offered helped us plan it anyway, from scratch, after already planning our first wedding. 2020 was an unusual and unexpected journey, but Christi was by our side, with the perfect dose of optimism, the whole time.

Christi planned the perfect wedding for us, twice. When we had to change our venue less than 2 months before the big day, she fearlessly took on the challenge. We never felt like we we were in bad hands. Christie’s good nature and lightheartedness helped smooth over any turmoil we encountered. At the end of our wedding journey, we emerged feeling accomplished, not exhausted.
She truly goes the extra mile for her clients. You can tell she takes YOUR day very seriously. Hire her without hesitation. You’ll love every step of the process.

We started working with Christi in January of 2020 to plan our wedding in Lake Tahoe for this summer and could not have picked a better planner! Her network is extensive and her attention to detail is impeccable. We met with her on a Monthly basis to start, but were always in pretty close contact. She'll start you off with a list of to-do's built from her years of experience in the industry. No stone goes untouched! Even though we were a small, 10 person wedding, she went above and beyond in working with us and the vendors we chose to make sure our day felt special. When COVID

Christi is THE BEST! We truly looked forward to our weekly calls and are sad they're over. Christi agreed to take us in as clients towards the end of our wedding planning for our wedding...then Covid happened and EVERYTHING had to be rethought. She was there for us and made our event so special. There were many days we felt defeated due to the pandemic, but Christi was always there to remind us of what we had to look forward to and came up with creative solutions to our hurdles.

Our wedding truly exceeded our expectations and Epic Thyme is 100% to that for this! We definitely gave Christi a run for her money by asking her to help us pull together a wedding in just 8 weeks on private property with seemingly endless obstacles to navigate due to the COVID pandemic and local wildfire season. Despite her busy schedule, Christi made time to work with us each week, offered creative solutions to the many logistical problems that arose, and approached every step of the planning process with enthusiasm, encouragement and positivity. We are so grateful for the ways she went above

Christi Nasser is the best! Honestly, you will not find anyone better to assist you with your wedding. Not only is Christi a phenomenal event planner, she's an amazing person. Christi was recommended to us by our venue and we are so grateful for their advice. From the very beginning we knew it would be a wonderful fit. Over the last year, we've been planning our wedding with Christi's assistance. She is beyond thorough, helpful, and organized. When COVID hit, we persisted on (we were extremely hopeful). The entire time Christi was beyond supportive and provided wonderful advice.

My fiance and I procrastinated planning our wedding, neither of us is a great event planner, so we knew we needed some help. We had intro conversations with a few wedding planners, but Christi at Epic Thyme stood out from the rest. She was so optimistic, kind, friendly, chill - we felt like planning a wedding was possible with her help! She listened to what we wanted, had a ton of ideas from the start, then sent us a whole perfect plan in two days! We were amazed. Then.... the pandemic happened, things were shutting down, and we had no idea how long it would last. We were lost, all over the place

My fiancé and I hired Christi to help with our wedding on August 17, 2019 and it was one of the best decisions we made!! Her weekly phone calls leading up to the wedding weekend kept us so organized and significantly less stressed. Our venue threw us some curve balls but I knew we could trust Christi to setup our décor beautifully and keep us on track during the event. Our family and friends were so impressed with her assistance as well, we highly recommend Epic Thyme.
