JESSICA + ROB ROY | DAY 6 OF OUR WINTER WONDERLAND WEDDING IN LAKE TAHOE
This is it!!! Day 6 of our Winter Wonderland experience.
The wedding of Jessica Lombardi to Switch Founder and CEO Rob Roy was truly a once in a lifetime experience. On our last and final day we began with, yes, another stormy snowfall! With over 4 feet of snow falling during our final day of set up, we needed to make a series of adjustments including extending everyone's rooms due to weather concerns and modifying the installation for safety. In the end, this was a perfectly magical day. We pushed through the final set up, I shared touching and funny moments with my couple, and with the snow falling all around I officiated their wedding and pronounced the husband and wife! I even danced a bit....
I hope you enjoyed this reality series on our winter wonderland wedding in Lake Tahoe. Truly, it was a dream come true for me as a designer, as an artist, and as a business. I was given creative control, worked with the best teams in the game, and created magic in the mountains.
And in the end, I was rewarded with two wonderful friends.
JESSICA + ROB ROY | WATCH ME CRY ON DAY 5 OF OUR WINTER WONDERLAND WEDDING IN LAKE TAHOE
WATCH WHAT MADE ME CRY AT 6 min 48 seconds!
Welcome to Day 5 of our luxe Winter Wonderland Wedding at the Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe.
This day was filled with activity. My day once again began at 5 am. As the sun came up our teams were loading into the ballrooms and finishing construction on the atrium. By 10 am my couple and guests were on the slopes, with our apres-ski event taking place before the night's welcome reception.
This day was filled with trouble shooting, putting out fires, and welcoming our guests into the wonderful world of our chic chalet at this, The Roy's Winter Wonderland Wedding.
JESSICA + ROB ROY | DAY 4: WELCOME TO OUR VIP REHEARSAL PARTY
After four long days, we FINALLY have an actual event! On Thursday, we hosted a private rehearsal for the bridal party followed by a VIP Holiday Cocktail Party for Jessica Lombardi to Switch Founder and CEO Rob Roy.
Day 4 was intense and the first time I actually wished that I could clone myself. My morning started at the Atrium build site, as we continued to stretch flooring and work on electric and lighting. The ballrooms were coming along, with the finishing touches being placed for our welcome reception and the vinyl finally relaxing in to the main ballroom for our wedding night.

Welcome to Day 3 of the Winter Wonderland of Jessica Lombardi to Switch Founder and CEO Rob Roy in Lake Tahoe.
On this day we have quite a bit of progress! The atrium is raised and lifted into the air and I rode a lift!!! We were able to begin setting up florals, loading in our hallway, and finalizing the details of the welcome reception.
This luxury wedding was the most intense build out I have ever attempted and I am so grateful for the overwhelming response!

The Daily Series: Day 2 of 6
Welcome to Day 2 of 6 as I produce a luxury Winter Wonderland Wedding at the Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe. On Day 2 we had almost 100 crew members come in from Blueprint Studio and Hensley Productions, plus over 40 florists arrive with Javier Valentino. Today it is bright but still cold. Snowy, but not snowing. And that makes all the difference in the world! We are finally able to build the foundation of our atrium and continue loading into the ballroom. It is all very exciting!
The bride and groom tasked me with producing 6 separate events over the course of 3 days in Lake Tahoe. Our production schedule spanned 6 full days, beginning with loading in during a snowstorm!

Welcome to the Wedding of Jessica Lombardi to Switch Founder and CEO Rob Roy.
Day 1 of 6 as I produce a luxury Winter Wonderland Wedding at the Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe.
The bride and groom tasked me with producing 6 separate events over the course of 3 days in Lake Tahoe. Our production schedule spanned 6 full days, beginning with loading in during a snowstorm!
I am a firm believer in pulling back the curtain and sharing my process. As clients, I want you to understand what it is that I do and what it takes to produce an event of this magnitude. If you are a creative watching this, I want you to see how I work, how my teams work, and the way in which we come together joyfully to create these once in a lifetime moments.

JOHANNA + KEVIN’S BELLAGIO WEDDING HIGHLIGHT REEL
This pink and black wedding at Bellagio is filled with modern, romantic touches. From the luxe black tables and chairs to pale pink roses that lead the bride down the aisle, every detail was selected to bring a contemporary feeling into space designed with an old-world sensibility.
The chandeliers lining the patio were not actually turned on. Instead, they were lit by casting white light through the crystals, allowing us to create patterns and adjust the colors of the reception as we progressed through the night.
With a special performance from Radio XX, a super-band made up of members of Life House and Savage Garden, this once in a lifetime Las Vegas wedding was the toast of the fall season!
