Nikki is amazing!!!!!!

Nikki was our day of coordinator for our wedding. I didn’t really expect much from a day of coordinator except to help out the week before and obviously the day. But Nikki did SO MUCH MORE! From the second we met it was constant communication back and forth about the wedding. Any little issue that came up she instantly had a fix for. She helped me calm my nerves countless times! And when it came time for the big day. She was AMAZING! Our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without her!

Charlotte McKay Wedding

I can’t thank Nikki and her team enough for everything they did from start to finish . The minute I met Nikki , it was like we had known each other forever . She saw my vision and helped me find everything I needed to create the look I wanted . If I had a question she answered very quickly , if I was panicked , she knew exactly what to do . On the day of the wedding , I literally did nothing except love every minute of our day . Nikki took care of every single detail . We all fell in love with Nikki , not just our Wedding Planner but now a member of our family ! We love you Nikki !!

Awesome and Fabulous!

Nikki was crucial to the success of our wedding. She worked superbly with all of our vendors, both before as well as on the day of our wedding. She was extremely responsive and went way, way above and beyond to enact our vision. On the day of, she kept everything on time and according to plan when we weren't looking and when we were, she was calm and smiling and happy. We wish we could get married again, just to have Nikki help us! We highly recommend her.

Worth every penny!

We originally hired Nikki & Event Connection to help keep track of all the pieces of our wedding. Best decision we could have made. From suggestions on vendors to finding us a replacement DJ on short notice, she did it all. She was available anytime via text or email and proactively stayed on top of everything. The actual wedding day itself was completely handled by Nikki and her fabulous assistant. We didn't have to do anything but get ready and walk down the aisle! If you're on the fence about a planner, do yourself a favor - hire Nikki!

Simply the Best!

Event Connection was amazing! We didn’t even know where to begin to plan this wedding, but from our first meeting, and through the whole process, Nikki helped guide us through with her professionalism and extreme patience! Throughout all our questions, changes and obstacles, Nikki always listened, took the reigns, resolved all issues, eased all our worries and made sure everything was what we wanted. And her recommendation for vendors she worked with previously, was spot-on. They were all wonderful to work with as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Nikki and Event Connection for helping my husband and I give our daughter the wedding of her dreams! We never could have done any of it without you! ❤️

The best decision you'll make...

I found Nikki through a random Google search and set up a meeting for an interview (she was the first of three I was considering). After one hour with Nikki I canceled the other interviews and knew we had found our coordinator. Same-sex weddings can sometimes be met with bigotry and judgement so I'm fiercely protective of my girls, but Nikki embraced them from the start and has truly become part of our family along the way. She has such a calming presence and helped me down off the ledge numerous times. She helped turn our vision into the most magical day that was filled with love and joy, putting fires out right up to the 11th hour. Add her amazing hubby into the mix for the big event, and you truly have a dream team! There aren't enough stars in the sky to rate the experience you will have with Event Connection. AND DID I MENTION SHE PULLED THIS PERFECT DAY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING NATIONAL PANDEMIC?!

Wedding Whisperer!!

Where do you even begin, Nikki went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was as wonderful as we envisioned. She was at every appointment and following up with great communication in between. She has such a fun and bubbly personality that brought light to the entire planning process. The natural talent Nikki has for wedding planning and design was a breath of fresh air, we brought ideas to the table and she somehow kept exactly what we wanted and turned it into something so much more. Her husband came as a second set of hands for our wedding day and they worked great together and he was just as fabulous as she was. We would highly recommend to anyone!!

Best wedding planner ever

Nikki took my dreams and visions and made them reality. I couldn't have hoped for a better wedding. She made it so easy and took care of everything. I never had a bridezilla moment because she took all burdens away from me. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family!
