JESSICA + ROB ROY’S WINTER WONDERLAND WEDDING WEEKEND

Welcome to Lake Tahoe, where winter weddings are nothing short of magical!

The Wedding Weekend of Jessica Lombardi and Switch Founder + CEO Rob Roy took place over three magical days celebrating life, luxury, and above all else, love.

As a luxury wedding planner, I've had the honor of curating some of the most beautiful weddings, but there's something truly special about this breathtaking destination. Imagine a world where crisp, cool air meets snow-capped mountains and the serene beauty of the lake surrounds you.

It was pure fairytale romance! A ceremony in a custom atrium built in the mountains, a white on white cocktail hour brought to life with a live jazz band, and culminating with a romantic black and white wedding reception. And not only did I plan this wedding, but I also officiated it until the soft glow of twinkling lights and the gentle flutter of snowflakes outside.
