Wedding Guardian Angel

Oniki has been my wedding guardian angel. Niki helped coordinate floral, photography, videography, venue & catering, rentals, and so much more behind the scenes. It truly is great to GET A WEDDING PLANNER BEFORE YOU BOOK VENDORS. She helped negotiate on our behalf to get us different packages that best fit our budget and our style. Even if you like to have the control and plan everything on your own, Niki works with your own style (and has built her planning service packages) around your own level of comfort whether that be all-in and her taking the reigns or just consultation calls, chats, & meet-ups to help keep you on track and provide recommendations. I am so blessed to have had the most wonderful wedding and a beautiful Oh Niki Occasion. I know that even for that next event whether it be another family wedding, baby shower, or celebration of any kind, it will be fabulous because it will be an Oh Niki Occasion.

Spectacular, 400 Person Event

Oniki has been a valued volunteer for our nonprofit organization and had helped to organize the annual gala for many years. This year we brought Oh Niki Occasions on full-time to conceptualize, plan and execute the event for 400 guests. The night was spectacular, well organized and perfectly orchestrated thanks to Oniki and her team's leadership, eye for detail and organization. Oniki was a pleasure to work with and was clearly invested in her work, as well as, our organization's goals. I would highly recommend Oh Niki Occasions for any special event.

I have not worked with an event planner before but I will say, Oh Niki Occasions is extremely the best at putting together a successful event. We decide on the Liberty Prime Steakhouse for our tenth year anniversary, thanks to Oh Niki Occasions. I remembered looking at raw event space one day and the transformation of that space the day of the party, was amazing. Niki suggested photo booth vendors and DJs. Recommended the type menu, dessert table, table decorations, center pieces and linens. Once again, thanks Oh Niki Occasions, for helping us put together our ten year bash. It was a pleasure working with Oh Niki Occasions and knowing that you are very passionate about your work.

Oh Niki Occasions planned, designed, and provided "day-of" coordination services for our Tenth Wedding Anniversary Celebration. From our first meeting, I knew that our event was going to be AMAZING. Oniki was with us through the entire journey - assisting us with the theme of the celebration, securing a wonderful venue that met our style, recommending great vendors, and adding those thoughtful details and finishing touches that make an event beautiful. Oniki is easy to work with and is a consummate professional. She assisted us with vendor negotiations which allowed us to stay within our budget. That makes all the difference. When you have an event, you are always nervous about certain aspects and Oniki is there to provide great advice and talk you off the edge when you need it. Our guests had the best time! The complimented the venue, the DJ, the linens on the table - EVERYTHING! We were so pleased - it was everything we asked for. When we have another celebration, the first call that I will make is to Oh Niki Occasions!

Couldn't imagine everything going the way it did without Niki's help. From top to bottom she was on top of everything and made this day, the day it was meant to be.

I don't even know where to begin in describing how grateful we are for Oniki Cole and Oh Niki Occasions. I had been deliberating between a couple of coordinators, but from the moment I met with Oniki I knew she was the right fit. We hired Oniki as our month-of coordinator and we were not disappointed. Although we hired Oniki just for the month leading up to the wedding, we contracted with her well in advance and she was there for us every step of the way. Oniki was always available to bounce ideas off of and help soothe frustrations and nerves. As a recent bride herself, she completely understands the ups and downs of being a bride and I felt 100% supported through the entire planning process.

The day of our wedding could not have gone any smoother. Oniki and her team went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. It was the perfect day and Oniki was a major reason for that. Oniki and her team were professional and attentive. She made our day unforgettable. Thank you!

A Disappointing Experience

We hired Oniki for her design skills and day-of coordination, but overall, the experience was disappointing. We were happy with her design work for our decor but we were unsatisfied with a number of other areas.

Her tone was at times rude and she acted as if she was doing us a favor and not a service we paid her for. She never apologized for any of her or her team's mistakes and most upsettingly, the broom we jumped over — a meaningful item in Black culture, handmade by my sister-in-law, was lost. Multiple people (our officiant, bridal attendant, my mother-in-law) confirmed it was handed to a member of her team, but they blamed the venue for losing it and never took responsibility.

We chose Oniki based on personal referrals, but we didn’t feel like a priority throughout the process. The lack of care and accountability from her and her team made our experience more stressful than it should have been. When I had our post wedding call with her and went over the planning and day of issues, she took no accountability for anything, said we had a "difference in communication styles" and essentially blamed the day of issues on the venue.

Based on our experience, and despite being pleased with the design elements, we would not recommend Oniki.


We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the pleasure of working with this vendor and they are top notch professional to work with. They made sure I was taken care of while they were attending to the most obvious people ( The Bride and Groom). I hope Will Harris Productions and Oh Niki Occasions will work together in the future in the NY/NJ area.
