About Tahoe Engaged

Your Trusted Guide to Wedding Bliss in Lake Tahoe

For many couples, the wedding celebration is an investment in their future and an expression of their style. Let the members of Tahoe Engaged be your confidante, your trusted guide to wedded bliss. We are a highly reliable source of simply the best recommendations that you would expect only from your most trusted friend.

Tahoe Engaged is a heartfelt collaboration by the members of the Tahoe Wedding Industry Group (TWIG), which represents only the top wedding professionals serving the Lake Tahoe area.

In order to achieve this crème de la crème status, all members of TWIG are carefully vetted. Our process requires that each service provider submit 8 references, which include other wedding industry professionals as well as recently married couples. All references are carefully checked, and only those service providers that get rave reviews can become a part of the TWIG / Tahoe Engaged community.

And community is of the utmost importance to TWIG. Our members get together to hold regular educational meetings, which help us to focus on building relationships while enhancing our professional skills. This strong sense of community translates into strong teamwork on your wedding day, creating a delightful experience for you and your invited guests.
