Marvelous with no gimmicks

We decided to work with Nyika because she stood far out from the rest. We ended hiring her for decor and on the day coordination and she even helped with some of the planning with no complaints. She was present every step of the way with flexible timing like late nights which was the best for us. Her price was unbeatable and responsiveness was beyond expectations. Almost like she became a friend during the process and no matter how much I bugged her she always remained humble, attentive and helpful. She made us feel so special like we were her only clients (she had many others lol). On the day I met the rest of her team and they were just as sweet and easy to work with as her. Everything we asked for was done and more, making our day so much more special. Nyika you are now more than a wedding planner to us and we look forward to working with you again. DesignVUs Team big up for such a fun-filled wedding. Love the energy you guys put out, and how well y’all worked with all our other vendors. Continue the amazing work!!

If you’re a destination bride looking for good energy, fair price and a damn good time, DesignVUs will provide that with no gimmicks.

From England to Jamaica - Perfection Delivered!!!!

From start to finish, my experience with my wedding planner NYIKA was nothing short of exceptional. Planning a wedding in Jamaica while based in England could have been stressful, but she made the entire process feel effortless.
There was truly nothing too big or too small for her to handle. She was always calm, pleasant, and incredibly patient, which made such a difference during the planning process. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she brought so many amazing ideas to life, things I wouldn’t have even thought of myself.
She is so easy to work with, genuinely listens, and really understands your vision. I always felt heard, supported, and completely at ease knowing everything was in her hands. She is incredibly trustworthy, which is so important when planning from abroad.
Her team was just as amazing - professional, organised, and clearly a reflection of her high standards. Together, they truly made magic happen.
My wedding day was nothing short of AMAZING. Even two weeks later, people are still talking about how beautiful and well-executed everything was.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better planner. If you’re considering booking her - do it. You will not regret it.

Best day ever

Where to start! Nyika and her team are the most professional and we have absolutely not one regret of using her service. From planning to execution, seamless! Not one guest had a complaint and most of all, us as the bride and groom, we were overly pleased. Nyika is one of the easiest person to communicate with…always responding to our messages and call in a timely manner.
What we liked and appreciated the most is that when it came to decision making, she always included us and asked our opinion without pushing her preferences on us; we always had a say.
She is also patient and works in a timely manner simultaneously, she gave us time to rethink and if we had to make a change last minute, she was always accommodative, she would always reassure us by saying “ I am very flexible so don’t be afraid to let me know the changes that you want” absolutely amazing.

Her work omg guys! It is breathtaking, unimaginable and overly satisfying. Her work literally speaks for itself. Being organized is an understatement for her. I know this may sound too perfect, but mark my words, she is perfect person to make your dream wedding come through. You can choose her to plan all your events with your eyes closed. 😌 AMAZINGGGGG.


Yours Truly,

A Lucky Bride

The Best to ever do it

Nyika was the literal best! She was very understanding, she worked with our budget and was able to execute our vision. I strongly believe than when you are acquiring the service of any company the customer service should be extremely professional and welcoming. That is the type of service that I have received since the consultation to the very end of the reception. She understood exactly what I wanted and made my dreams come true. Don’t hesitate, don’t think twice, book her to your wedding and you’ll be in good hands. Her entire team was great, I felt safe and that I could relax with all the wedding stress because she would make it all right. The fairy godmother of weddings

The Best in the Industry

I am beyond grateful for my wedding planner Nyika. From start to finish, she was organized, attentive, and truly invested in bringing our vision to life. Our wedding was small and intimate, yet every detail was handled with such care, creativity, and excellence.

The coordination and décor were absolutely beautiful—thoughtful, elegant, and perfectly suited to us. She made the entire process feel calm and stress-free, and on the day itself everything flowed seamlessly. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in capable hands.

Thank you for your professionalism, patience, and heart. You didn’t just plan a wedding—you helped create a meaningful, unforgettable experience. I couldn’t have asked for better.

A modern fairytale


Let me start by saying I was absolutely mindblown by the magic you created for the wedding. It superseded my expectation. It was more than everything we envisioned it to be. From the moment I walked in and saw the ceremony space i knew we were in incredible hands.
You didn't just decorate, you captured our vision perfectly. The way you style the reception tables with the luxe centerpieces spoke elegance and intimacy.
Thank you for your endless patience, creative genius and for making the entire process feels seamless and joyful. I know it wasn’t easy but you did it and made it comes to life. Your attention to detail made the day not just beautiful but truly magical and unforgettable. It really mirrored a fairytale.

Nyika Was the BEST Decision We Made for Decor!

Hiring Nyika was one of the best investments we made for our wedding day. Her professionalism and dedication was exceptional and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

From our first conversation, Nyika proved her value as a great communicator. She listened to our vision, gave us realistic guidance that helped us appreciate what was possible within our budget, and then went above and beyond to secure unique items to bring our vision to life. This practical, balanced and dedicated approach made the decor planning process super productive.

Nyika’s flexibility was a life-saver. She navigated late-night calls, last-minute site visits and an unexpected venue change just two weeks before our wedding due to Hurricane Melissa. Despite all the changes, she remained calm, and adapted as necessary.

Based on our experience, we would wholeheartedly recommend Nyika. Whether you have a clear vision for your decor or you are starting from scratch, Nyika and her team will ensure that your decor is unforgettable and your vision is perfectly executed.

Incredible

Service was excellent. I could not identify any issues with Nyika and her team. She is reliable, caring, and understanding. She listens to your needs and ensure it is delivered. Communication was easy and I felt as if I have known her for years. She made my dream wedding a reality and I am very impressed with her attention to details.
Planning your wedding in Jamaica whilst living abroad, can become extremely deficult, especially with time differences. Fortunately I had Nyika's profressionlism and experience in wedding planning to rely on. I am extremely happy in the fact that I had chosen her as my wedding planner. She is the best in Jamaica. I woukd recommend your service, she is the best! #oneDesignVusbyNyika#

Top Tier design and client service like no other

Nyika was absolutely amazing and we wish that every couple planning their wedding in
Jamaica sees this and believes us when we say, "Look no further" when searching for
wedding decor, wedding day coordinator or an overall wedding planner.

Meeting Nyika:
We found Nyika on IG and reached out to her around February for a June wedding. From
the first conversation we knew we would hire her when we heard her passion for what
she does. Nyika's sharp and fluent responses to our questions captured us. She
sounded like a true professional who knows her job and values her clients.

After we hired Nyika:
We hired Nyika for decor and wedding day coordinator and we were impressed time after
time throughout the process.
Great communication and timely responses to phone calls and text messages.
Clear and detailed quotation invoice with reasonable prices.
She understood our vision and offered valid suggestions.
Great Collaboration with other vendors (Venue, Officiant, Cake decorator, Photographer
etc.).

Wedding Execution:
Nyika showed up at the venue the day before to unload decor and do a short but well
instructed rehearsal. This was the first time we were meeting in person and she was
everything we heard over the phone. She showed up early on the wedding day to start
setting up and was ready to roll on time. The entire decor was well executed from
ceremony to cocktail hour and reception to after party. Simple but elegant, exactly the
way we wanted it. Everything went smoothly without a bump and we wouldn’t do it any
other way or with anyone else.
To witness Nyika’s work in person was way better than we’re able to articulate. It was
more than a pleasure and we’re happy we chose Design VUs by Nyika.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
