Get to Know Devyn

Hey there! I'm Devyn, the mastermind behind Turquoise Ridge Events! I am the sole wedding planner, coordinator, and point of contact for event and wedding planning services. I mention that because at times I'll mention a "we" or "us", and that's because my husband, Stephen, is my assistant when summoned. :) I' was born and raised in Massachusetts and went to my first college in New York City. I then transferred to Reno to play soccer at UNR many years ago. Here's a bit more about me!

• I've been here for over 10 years and happy to call it home.
• My other "job" is coaching soccer to the youth of NorNev & NorCal! 
• I'm a big nerd. Like Star Wars and Transformers nerd. 
• I love to garden and forage. Nevada is full of amazing plants!
• I drink a lot of coffee. 
• I love details and making sure the little things are in order.
• I'm the mom who plans out her family's vacation with a full itinerary :) Yes, I'm proud of that.

I became a wedding planner in Reno because of my love for love and all things weddings. I'm one of those girls whose dreamed of her wedding since a young age. And I've been a part of so many others, it was a great fit to what I wanted to do. 

I have many years of experience planning and coordinating various events such as sports camps, fundraisers, birthday parties, baby showers, and now a years worth of weddings. I received my wedding planning certification in 2022 but didn't start the business until 2023 when I left my full-time job to pursue my entrepreneurial passions. 

Stephen is a 3rd generation Nevadan. Army Veteran, fisherman, father, and the business carpenter! Together, we're travelers, dry campers, and hot springers. Our love story begins at the start of the great pandemic of 2020. After a couple months of video chats and phone calls, we finally met for a taco date. We’ve been together every day since, creating a beautiful life and raising our daughters here in Reno, NV. 

We are familiar with Bridgeport, CA, Alturas & Cedarville, CA, Charleston, SC, Phoenix, AZ, parts of Idaho, and of course the lovely Lake Tahoe. I'm open for traveling for your love and happy to assist your destination wedding planning in Lake Tahoe.
