Niki and her team at NJ Event Collective are a bride and groom's DREAM! I am a bit of a control freak and am obsessed with attention to detail, so I was very picky when it came to hiring a wedding coordinator. From the first time I communicated with Niki, I knew she was the right person to help plan our wedding. She is so friendly, calm, professional and funny!

Our priority as a couple was to enjoy our day and not be stressed. We knew we could trust Niki and team to manage every aspect of the event and they did so flawlessly! She developed detailed timelines from set up to tear down, managed all of our vendors, and knew where every item needed to be placed for the event.

Everything turned our perfect and the NJ team went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable and fun day. They even entertained our flower girls during the reception!

We are so grateful for Niki and her team. We love them dearly and highly recommend NJ Event Collective to all brides and grooms!

The NJEC team was AMAZING in working with us to bring our dream wedding to life! My partner and I had a ton of specific ideas and hopes for our special day, and our planner, Jaime, was just as excited to make them happen. It was a blast just to talk and brainstorm with her, and make a working game plan for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

Jaime was patient with us as our minds and circumstances changed throughout the process, and was ready for anything and everything — including last minute floor plan and venue rearrangements due to the crazy monsoon of late September 2025. It was effortless to work with this team, and we really felt that they were so dedicated to seeing our vision come to life. They had our backs and executed flawlessly and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you guys so much!

I cannot recommend Niki and her team highly enough. While I hired her for "day-of" coordination, she did so much more than that. From the moment we started working together, Niki provided invaluable advice and truly invested herself in making our day perfect.

We developed a genuine friendship, and I always felt like she cared about my wedding as much as I did. She is real, honest, and brings a sense of humor that made the entire process so much more comfortable. When I had those typical "bride panic" moments, Niki was there with immediate solutions and a calming energy that put me right back at ease. She and her team are worth every single penny; our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them! Do not skip out on hiring this vendor, no matter what your venue includes!

Nikkie and team completely understood our modern-traditional vision and executed it beautifully. I had given her a vision and she brought it to life, effortlessly and most important... in budget! Her attention to detail and precise timeline kept everything running smoothly, and her calm, confident approach made planning stress-free. She was always available and quick to respond whenever we needed her. We felt fully taken care of from start to finish. We would recomend her time and time again!!

Being a planner is a hard thing and there are few that can execute as well as Niki and her team. l've done several weddings with NJ event collective and have never had a problem that couldn't be solved. They make it look easy! Hire them now!

It's always a pleasure working with NJEC! Their team is truly organized, communicates thoughtfully, and executes weddings beautifully. They advocate for their couples and bring their wedding visions to life. Each and every one of their couples is lucky to have them in their corner. 10/10!

From our very first meeting, Niki impressed us with her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for our vision. She took the time to truly understand what we wanted, offering thoughtful suggestions while always respecting our style and priorities. Her organization was flawless—every detail was tracked, every deadline met, and every question answered promptly.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Niki was our steady guide, seamlessly coordinating with vendors, managing timelines, and troubleshooting before we even realized there was a problem. On our wedding day, Niki and her team were nothing short of incredible. Everything ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the last dance, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the celebration without any stress.
Our guests are still raving about how beautiful, well-organized, and personal the day felt—and we know that is in large part thanks to Niki’s dedication and expertise. If you want someone who is organized, creative, and deeply committed to making your day perfect, we cannot recommend NJ Event Collective highly enough!
Thank you for everything, Niki and Team!🤍

We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Niki and the team at NJ Event Collective for our wedding coordination. After interviewing several planners based on a recommendation from our photographer, Niki immediately stood out. She was approachable, professional, and brought a wealth of experience—particularly with weddings at the Desert Botanical Garden. Her deep familiarity with the venue, its layout, and staff gave us tremendous peace of mind from the very beginning.

We chose NJ Event Collective’s “Day of Coordination” package, as I wanted to handle much of the event design and DIY elements myself. I’m incredibly thankful that Niki’s team was our coordinator as they were absolutely instrumental in making our day run smoothly and stress-free.

Throughout the planning process, we primarily communicated with Jaime, Niki’s lead assistant, who was outstanding—organized, efficient, and always on top of every detail. She ensured that nothing fell through the cracks. Our in-person meetings were with Niki, who was always well-informed and seamlessly aligned with everything we had discussed with Jaime. Although Jaime was unable to be present on the wedding day due to maternity leave, the rest of the NJ team stepped in effortlessly. Their communication and coordination with the other vendors too were impeccable; we were only approached with two or three quick questions during the entire reception, which allowed us to fully enjoy the day without distraction.

One of the standout tools they used was a shared drive, which housed our timeline, vendor details, setup instructions, and more. This centralized system made it incredibly easy to update and access information without relying on endless email threads.

The greatest gift Niki and her team gave us was the ability to be fully present on our wedding day. We never had to worry about logistics, vendor coordination, or last-minute decisions—everything had been thoughtfully planned and executed. If you’re planning a wedding at the Desert Botanical Garden—or anywhere in the Phoenix area—I cannot recommend NJ Event Collective highly enough. Their professionalism, experience, and calming presence truly elevated our wedding experience.

Niki, Jaime, and the whole team at NJ Event Collective made our special day such a wonderful and worry free time for us! In just over 8 months, they helped me and my wife plan a truly spectacular wedding at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix - We chose the partial planning package and it was worth every penny! Niki and her team handled so much coordination with the Museum and our vendors, and they made the day of the event stress free. I cannot recommend NJ Event Collective highly enough! They will give you peace of mind, expertise, and the confidence to plan every moment of your wedding or special event.

My husband and I had just three months to plan our wedding. Two weeks before the big day, we realized we needed a licensed day-of coordinator. NJ Events came to the rescue! This was hands down one of the best decisions we made. Niki’s team is incredible! A huge thank-you to Kate and her assistant Tyler for their hard work and dedication. Seeing my vision brought to life left me speechless. Kate and Tyler managed everything flawlessly, ensuring the night ran smoothly. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend NJ Events to anyone in need of a planner!
