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.

Beyond Five Stars – She Exceeded Every Expectation! 🤍🤍

Where do I even begin? From the very beginning of my wedding planning journey to the very last moment of my wedding day, my planner was nothing short of AMAZING!

Communication? 10/10. Professionalism? 10/10. Execution? Beyond anything I could have imagined!

One thing I appreciated tremendously was her communication. I was never left wondering, guessing, or waiting endlessly for an answer. She was always responsive, attentive, patient, and willing to listen. There were even occasions when I reached out outside of her regular working hours, and she still made herself available to assist me. Beyond her professionalism, she has such a warm, friendly, down-to-earth personality that made working with her feel so natural and comfortable.

From helping me select vendors to guiding me through countless decisions, she was present throughout the entire process. She listened to my ideas, understood my vision, and was incredibly hands-on whenever I needed her.

Now, let’s talk about the actual wedding day!

I am someone who loves to visualize every little detail. I even used ChatGPT to create mockups of how I imagined certain elements of my wedding would look. But when I tell you that not even those visuals did justice to what she actually delivered! Seeing everything come together in person was an entirely different experience. The execution, the attention to detail, the décor, the overall atmosphere, everything was even more beautiful than I had envisioned.

And what truly stood out to me was her ability to think ahead.

There were certain responsibilities I had initially planned to handle myself. As the wedding approached, I became unsure whether I would manage them or pass them over to her. It wasn’t until the day before the wedding that I finally confirmed I needed her to take over. Her response? “Girl, I already have that covered. You’re good!”

That moment alone says so much about the kind of planner she is. She wasn’t simply waiting for instructions. She was paying attention, anticipating what needed to be done, and making sure nothing was overlooked. That level of care and initiative is something I will never forget.

What I admired most was that she didn’t just hear what I wanted, she genuinely listened, understood, and brought it to life beautifully. She delivered everything I requested and somehow managed to give me even more than I expected.

My wedding day was absolutely beautiful, and I know how much of that was made possible by her dedication, creativity, hard work, and attention to detail.

I could go on and on, but I’ll simply say this: She didn’t just meet my expectations. She exceeded them in every possible way.

To any bride considering her services, I would recommend her wholeheartedly. Having someone who truly cares about your vision and treats your special day with such importance makes all the difference.

Five stars across the board! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you for listening, for reassuring me, for going above and beyond, and most importantly, for helping turn one of the biggest days of my life into something even more beautiful than I imagined.

You understood the assignment, and you absolutely delivered! 🤍

Nyika Made Our Dream Wedding a Reality!

I honestly don’t know how to thank Nyika enough for making our wedding day so incredibly special.

We planned our wedding on very short notice; less than six months from start to finish. I wanted a French Garden party feel with lots of greenery to blend with my traditional Eritrean clothing and elements. She understood my vision from the very first day I talked to her. It felt less like working with a vendor and more like working with a trusted friend. In fact, I truly consider her a dear friend now.
From the beginning, she walked me through every detail with patience, creativity, and genuine care. She didn’t just bring my vision to life, she exceeded every expectation I had. Looking back, our wedding simply would not have been what it was without her. She was absolutely vital in making the entire day so breathtaking.

What amazed me most was how much she poured into our wedding. She went above and beyond in ways I never expected, constantly thinking of details I hadn’t even considered. Whether we were in planning meetings or doing site visits, I always felt confident knowing Nyika was there because she would catch the little things everyone else overlooked. She truly had my best interests at heart from start to finish.

She was also incredibly mindful of our budget, helping us make thoughtful decisions without ever compromising the beauty of the event. That meant so much to us.

When I finally walked into the reception, I was completely speechless. It honestly felt like stepping into a fairy tale. Every detail was elegant, intentional, and absolutely stunning.
Even now, our guests are still talking about the décor and how beautiful everything was. So many people told us it was the most gorgeous wedding they had ever attended.

Nyika is truly gifted. Her talent, professionalism, heart, and dedication are unmatched. If you’re looking for someone who will not only create something beautiful but genuinely care about making your day everything you’ve dreamed of, I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Nyika, for giving us memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

Ms Nyika Taylor, From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the incredible work you did in planning and decorating our wedding.

Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more. It was a beautiful celebration of love, family, and friendship, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who played a part in making it so memorable.
Overall, our experience was excellent. We found that we received great value for money, as the quality of service matched—and in many cases exceeded—our expectations. Every investment we made contributed to creating a truly unforgettable day.
Professionalism was evident throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself. Our vendors were punctual, organized, attentive to detail, and communicated clearly. Their calm and reassuring approach allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment without unnecessary stress.
Our advice to other couples is to choose vendors based not only on price, but also on their professionalism, reputation, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile. A dependable team makes all the difference and allows you to fully enjoy one of the most important days of your life.



Ms Taylor and Team,

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the incredible work you did in planning and decorating our wedding. Your creativity, professionalism, dedication, and attention to every detail transformed our vision into a breathtaking reality.

From our very first meeting to the final touches on our wedding day, you worked tirelessly to ensure that everything was beautiful, seamless, and exactly as we had imagined. Every floral arrangement, every decorative detail, and every carefully planned moment reflected your passion and excellence.

Because of your hard work, we were able to relax, be fully present, and truly enjoy every moment of our special day. You created an atmosphere that was elegant, warm, and unforgettable, and for that, we will always be grateful.

Thank you for your patience, guidance, and unwavering commitment throughout this journey. Your talent and dedication played a significant role in making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be and more.

May God continue to bless your hands, your creativity, and your business with abundant favor and continued success. Thank you for helping create memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

With heartfelt appreciation and gratitude

Couldn't have done it without her!

We can't recommend Nyika Taylor highly enough. Working with her to plan our wedding was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and that's saying something given how long our process took. Our house burned down at the end of 2021, and the rebuild dragged on far longer than we expected, which meant we had to move our wedding date multiple times over the course of several years. Through all of it, Nyika was patient, steady, and never made us feel like we were a burden. She stuck with us through a multi-year planning process and kept everything on track.

She managed our vendors, worked with us on our budget, and consistently found ways to make our vision real without compromising on what mattered to us. Her range is impressive. We came in with a very specific style for our decor, and when we walked in on our wedding day, we were absolutely blown away by how she'd brought it to life. We wanted wooden tables with no tablecloths, and rather than settle for what was available, she commissioned a local furniture maker to build brand-new tables so they'd look pristine on the day. That kind of attention to detail is rare.

One thing that set Nyika apart was how available she made herself. A lot of planners structure things so you get a fixed set of calls on a set timeline, but Nyika was happy to get on a call any time we wanted to talk something through. She was also responsive over WhatsApp, which meant we could collaborate in real time as ideas came up. That made a real difference, because we planned this wedding from the US (my husband's family is Jamaican), and her availability made organizing a wedding in Jamaica from abroad as easy as it possibly could have been.

She has a great eye, she honored exactly what we wanted, and she worked with us on everything. Work with Nyika. You'll be so glad you did.

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
