Luxury Las Vegas Wedding Planner Andrea Eppolito is also a licensed wedding officiant.
As a rule of thumb we stand on the sidelines and bear witness to other people’s lives. Never in the moment, always adjacent. Now, being in the ceremony has allowed me to experience the space and design in a totally new way. It has made me a better planner, a better designer, and a better storyteller.

ASK ANDREA: What does a luxury wedding cost?
One of the most frequently asked questions in wedding planning is about budget and costs. Couples see over the top, beautiful weddings on blogs and social media and wonder what the actual cost of production is.

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. We began our weekend in the mountains, with ski days and VIP parties at my couple's home in Martis Camp. A chalet themed welcome party came next, followed by the couple’s wedding day.
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.
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.
