Planning a wedding across coasts can be daunting, but working with Claudine at The Venue at the Ponderosa made the entire experience absolute perfection. From day one, she was exceptionally patient, professional, and kind. Despite the time zone difference between the West and East Coasts, her communication was always timely. She understood our budget constraints completely, working with us through countless back-and-forth quote adjustments and providing fantastic budget-friendly vendor recommendations. Because of her strong, established relationships with local vendors, she handled all the coordination seamlessly, saving us an immense amount of stress. Even though we hadn’t seen the venue in person before our wedding day, arriving at The Ponderosa was breath-taking. The property is stunning, deeply connected to nature, and perfectly set up for an unforgettable event. The main house is gorgeous, well-stocked, and features a wonderful layout—including a fully functional bridal suite for hair and makeup artists, a distinct groom's room with a great aesthetic, a clever partition door setup to keep the couple hidden before the ceremony, and a separate exit for the groom. Our outdoor ceremony featured a gorgeous nature backdrop of trees and a valley, complete with visits from local wildlife like turkeys and deer, which we loved. As huge animal lovers, knowing the property is dog-friendly was a dream—we even had our dog participate as our ring bearer! On the day of the wedding, Claudine’s coordination was flawless. She managed guest flow, parking, and logistics effortlessly with the help of her husband and team. She also has an incredible eye for design; having previously hosted her own daughter's wedding at the venue, she allowed us to reuse many of her gorgeous decor items, which saved us significantly on our budget without compromising on elegance. Beyond the logistics, Claudine’s warmth and flexibility made it feel like we had known her for years. Getting to know her, her family, and sharing our mutual love for animals made the whole weekend even more special. We could not have asked for a better venue or a more dedicated coordinator. We 100% recommend Claudine and The Venue at the Ponderosa to anyone looking for a wedding or special eventvenue!
Claudia and her team did a wonderful job for my daughter's 4-year old birthday party as a entertainer/ party coordinator. They kept the kids entertained with games and made sure the flow was smooth. It was such a big help for me so that I could spare quality time to interact with guests. Other than that, she is easy to reach and great in communication.
Claudine and her crew were amazing and came in clutch at the last minute for our wedding. Some things went south on our big day, but she really came through and made it work for us even when it wasn't on her to do so. We are so grateful to have had her on our amazing day and would highly recommend her.

We are so grateful that Claudine was a part of our big day. We worked with Claudine as the day of coordinator for our June wedding, but she helped us with much more than that. We knew Claudine and her assistants meant business as soon as they walked in with name tags and big smiles. There was truly a lot to keep track of the entire day— from directing lawn games in the afternoon and ferry departures in the evening, to the unexpected added duty of cake cutting and serving, Claudine was on top of it. She was highly organized, very professional, and went above and beyond the entire time. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to her and it truly couldn't have been a better day!

Absolutely a pleasure to work with! Grateful for the day of support, helped move my wedding party along and so thankful I went with you guys!!
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer remote Pre-Planning to complete planning preparations between $150 to $350. Day of Event coordination services include creating timelines, scheduling consultation calls, decorating & rentals, set up/break-down, and timeline implementation for a minimum of $200 for 4 hours up to $400, plus additional fees for decorative creations such as arches, florals, ballooning, centerpieces, etc.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first want to take a few minutes for a complimentary scheduled call to learn about my client's visions, needs, and expectations of the services needed. Not every client or event is the same. Once any questions are answered and contract is sent with the details requested by the client. Once the deposit and contract are submitted, a planner template is sent and the work begins.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Creating and coordinating events has been my passion since high school. With over 30 years of successful events done out of this passion, I became a professional after opening our venue in 2023. I love seeing client's visions come to fruition and as a professional, I bring a friendly and caring approach to client's and guests.
