Happy Beginnings made our special day the best day ever!

We challenged Rikki with a 30 day turnaround and she delivered better than we could have imagined. We had an idea for a small intimate wedding on our farm and had no idea how we were going to pull it off on such short notice. Rikki helped us with vows, paperwork, order of events and so much more. She kept us informed the entire time and made us feel at ease about our big day. We were thrilled with the results and she even took our photos for us!
We highly recommend Rikki! She is a kind, humble, capable, professional, trustworthy and overall amazing person. Thank you Rikki for giving us such a special day.

Rikki brings sparkle to your event

Rikki is a true gem. She has a beautiful voice, which she matches with a personable and professional demeanor. We invited Rikki to sing at our annual gala fundraiser for the Cheboygan Opera House (May 24, '23). Although she had never been in our venue before, she quickly set up and interacted comfortably with our patrons. She was able to draw on her wide range of repertoire to match the mood of the room and the crowd. The response was very, very positive, and made our event so much more special. If you are looking to bring extra sparkle to your event, I highly recommend working with Rikki.
