About Emily Taft Events

Emily Taft Events

Owner & Lead Planner

I'm Emily, the Owner and Lead Planner behind the scenes, crafting unforgettable moments. My journey began with a degree from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Go Rebels! In Las Vegas I worked for a destination management company that taught me so much about the industry. From event management, to florals & signage design, custom builds, how to create transportation manifests, execute dine-arounds, oversee entertainment and so much more! In 2020 I moved to Northern Nevada and fell in love with wedding planning. My passion for wedding planning comes from connecting with couples behind the scenes and bringing their dream day to life.

We focus on creating memories. Spomini! Meaning memories in Slovenia is Inspired by my heritage, we keep this Slovenian word close to our hearts with every event we plan. To us, events are more than just logistics; they're opportunities to craft unforgettable experiences, weaving in moments that resonate long after the last guest has departed. Since 2016, we’ve been planning large-scale events from weddings for Olympic athletes to corporate gatherings for over 40,000 attendees, we’ve seen and planned it all. After years of learning from the best - I am so excited to launch Emily Taft Events in 2024!

    We Couldn’t Recommend Emily More

    Hiring Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She was incredible to work with from start to finish and played such a huge role in making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. She has an amazing knowledge of the industry, is incredibly organized, and gave us so many great vendor recommendations. Most importantly, Emily is such a warm and caring person. She made us feel completely calm and confident throughout the planning process and, especially, on our wedding day. We knew we were in good hands and could actually relax and enjoy the day. One of the things I loved most about working with Emily is that she is a problem solver. On our wedding day, there was a fire in Reno that caused a power outage at our late night venue and hotel-the Palisades Tahoe condos. While we were enjoying our wedding, Emily was working behind the scenes with the venue and our vendors to come up with solutions. She was able to get our time at the venue extended, coordinate getting our late-night food brought over, and work with the DJ to stay later. She made what could have been a major hiccup completely seamless for us. We barely had to think about it! If you are considering hiring Emily, just do it! She is absolutely the best, and we could not recommend her more highly. We are so grateful to have had her by our side on such an important day!

    Emily is the BEST

    WOW. Emily is an absolute PRO, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. We honestly can't imagine how we would have pulled off our wedding without her. Going into wedding planning, I had no idea how much work actually goes into making a wedding day run smoothly. There are so many moving pieces behind the scenes, and Emily thought of every little detail. She kept us organized, prepared, and always one step ahead, so when our wedding day came, we were able to just show up, be present, and enjoy every second. Our day was truly perfect from start to finish. I honestly can't think of a single hiccup. Everything flowed so seamlessly, and I know that's because Emily was working so hard behind the scenes. She made everything look effortless. On top of that, she's just such a fun, warm person to work with. She has great energy, is incredibly easy to talk to, responds quickly, and is always on top of whatever needs to get done. We always felt like we were in great hands. I also have to mention that her prices are incredibly reasonable for everything she does. Looking back, she was worth every penny and then some. Emily, THANK YOU so much for everything. You played such a huge part in making our wedding the best day of our lives, and we'll always be grateful. We couldn't recommend you more!

    Exceptional Wedding Planning!

    From the moment we started working with Emily, the stress and worry of wedding planning disappeared. She brought a kind, organized, sunny energy anytime we met with her. She was thorough and communicative with us and all our vendors. We had a wonderful, unforgettable day, thanks to Emily!!

    Emily Taft is the Person for the Job!

    To say that Emily knocked it out of the park would be an understatement. Rarely do I ever feel compelled to write reviews for any business or service I have received, but Emily is definitely an exception. From day one, Emily was beyond helpful. Her organization shills, helpful tools, meaningful conversations and positive attitude made what we expected to be a difficult and stressful experience feel calm, in control and easily manageable. Emily also did a fantastic job working with/managing all the different wedding vendors and site staff. With Emily's help, the entire wedding day and planning process was smoother than we could have hoped for. She went above and beyond what we expected of her on numerous occasions, and showed multiple times that with her "get it done" and positive attitude, anything was possible. We are extremely grateful that we found Emily and were able to work with her for our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend her for anyone looking to make things as easy for themselves as possible on their special day!

    Amazing coordinator!

    Emily was the perfect addition to our wedding day. We planned a destination wedding in Tahoe so we didn’t get the chance to visit before our wedding week but she was so knowledgeable about the area and was able to give us suggestions to make the week/weekend perfect. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on the day of, we couldn’t have done it without her.

Yes! We love the creativity that goes into all events. We also have members on our team that can help with transportation logistics, entertainment management as well as registration for corporate groups.
Yes, we have a team! I will be your lead planner - and depending on the scale of your event there will be 1-2 assistants onsite for your big day as well.
I have been in the industry since 2016 planning & designing corporate gatherings, networking events, weddings and more! Since moving to the Reno Tahoe area in 2020, my primary focus has been Weddings. As a lead wedding planner, have planned over 20 weddings!
As of now we are only taking one wedding a weekend.
