The Mother of Wedding Planning

Ricki was my true partner in crime during my wedding planning process. She stepped in as a surrogate mom - joining me at my dress appointments, sharing her own wedding stories and experiences, being available to talk at a moments notice, responding quickly to every email and text. Without her, the process could've felt quite lonely and overwhelming. She was always game to hear new ideas and brainstorm how to make them happen. She dealt with my Type-A personality with finesse. I feel so grateful and relieved that I got to experience this time in my life with her.

Ricki is the BEST wedding event planner!

Working with Ricki Lewis Events was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, Ricki took the time to truly understand my daughter's vision and transformed her ideas into a beautiful and cohesive wedding design concept.
She created an inspiring mood board and showed us realistic renderings of how our backyard could be transformed for the celebration, including a clear floor pool cover and an elegant canopy structure over the tennis court. As our ideas evolved throughout the planning process, Ricki remained flexible and responsive, refining the design concepts to reflect my daughter's changing vision while ensuring everything remained cohesive and beautifully curated. Ricki also shared detailed, full-color site plans that illustrated the layout and flow of the event, along with photographs from previous weddings to help us visualize how the finished spaces could look. Being able to see both the design concepts and the practical layout made it easy to understand the possibilities and feel confident in the planning process.
Ricki also developed a detailed wedding budget with estimated costs for each vendor category, giving us a realistic understanding of what to expect financially and helping us make informed decisions. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and thoughtful guidance made the planning process feel organized and manageable.
What impressed me most was the personal attention she provided. Ricki met with us at our home, spent hours discussing ideas, answered our questions, and was always available to offer advice and support. We always felt that our vision and priorities were important to her. Her attention to detail, creativity, professionalism, and genuine care gave us confidence with her process.
If you are looking for a wedding planner who is creative, professional, organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in creating a wedding that reflects your unique style and vision, I highly recommend Ricki Lewis Events.

Pefectly Fantastic

I Loved working with Ricki.
It felt like I was working with a wonderful family member who was totally on my side and organized. She loved my wedding theme and she came up with all sorts of ways to make the event absolutely perfect for me. I wanted it to feel like a fairy tale and she helped with every aspect. Her recommendations for alterations on my dress turned out beautifully, her ideas for the floor plan and the table placement was elegant and the team that she brought to set up for the day were so sweet and helpful. I will be forever grateful for how she managed the cost and dealt with added people and how she handled my fiance. It was brilliant. The whole day was gorgeous.

Amazing service with all the options.

We found Ricki Lewis events online at the wedding wire and the knot forums and she was a Hall of Famer , good sign! We reviewed multiple companies and decided we had a good connection with Ricki , so we committed.
Working with Ricki Lewis Events was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the moment we began planning, Ricki and her team treated us like family—completely hands-on, incredibly organized, and fully invested in making our day everything we dreamed of (and more!). Every detail was tailored just for us. They found us the perfect venue, top-notch rentals, amazing musicians, a phenomenal caterer, and a photographer who captured our love so beautifully! Thanks to Ricki’s strong relationships in the wedding industry, we received a few perks we never could have gotten on our own.
Ricki even helped me find the dress with a talented dressmaker who made it a one-of-a-kind experience. The entire day was stunning, seamless, and so full of joy. We were able to relax and truly enjoy the moment because we knew we were in the best hands. Our wedding wasn’t just an event—it was a beautifully curated experience from beginning to end.

Details Covered and Less Stress

I wasn’t sure it was necessary to have the expense of a wedding planner, but after it was all over, I am happy I did. More importantly, like many relationships, I found the right wedding planner in Ricki Lewis and her team at Ricki Lewis Events.

From start to finish, Ricki was amazing! Whenever help was needed, she couldn’t do enough. The three things that were most important to us were finding the right venue, having really good food, and making it the wedding I could afford. I’ve heard from friends that their planner tried to upsell everything. Ricki never pushed to the more expensive way.

I found her to always be on top of her game – details were covered, and she was always in regular contact with me. That made everything less stressful.

Ricki has become a friend, and I highly recommend her services!

Recommend - Professional & Direct

Ricki was our day-of coordinator, and she was such a steady and helpful presence throughout the process. We met a few times before the wedding, and her suggestions—like adding soft candlelight, thoughtful cake utensils, and charming table number displays—made a real difference in the atmosphere. She was incredibly responsive over email for weeks leading up to the event, and her organization and experience gave us peace of mind. On the big day, everything ran seamlessly, and we were able to be fully present with our guests without worrying about logistics. So grateful to have had her by our side!

Best wedding and event planner ever!

My now husband, Ken and I recently got married at our home in West Hollywood, CA. We had a bad experience with our first wedding planner but were blessed to have discovered Ricki Lewis, of Ricki Lewis Events, who thankfully became our wedding planner extraordinaire! From the moment we hired Ricki, she was hands on all the way from start to finish. Ricki was always available, extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of wedding planning (in our case a gay wedding), professional, creative and always a pleasure to work with. Getting married at our home (with 50 plus attendees) can bring its own unique challenges, but she literally transformed our home into the wedding of our dreams – implementing exactly the design, vibe and look we had imagined and more. Ricki created a fully designed floor plan, to scale, that included intricate details that we would have never thought to include. Further complicating matters, my husband and I reside in Washington, DC most of the year, but Ricki was a lifesaver and took care of so many things that would have made it impossible for us to do being so far away. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Her vendor recommendations and relationships are the best of the best – florist, DJ, photographer, catering, candles (over 300 of them) and more– she made it all seamless. When it comes to last minute issues that inevitably come up, she is on it immediately and miraculously makes it happen (like creating personalized framed specialty drinks signs hours before our wedding, as well as handling countless other last-minute details).
Ken and I are so appreciative of Ricki and her very talented team. They are the absolute best in the business, and she is the reason our wedding was the dream wedding we both experienced. Ricki Lewis Events deserves more than 5 stars, and we recommend Ricki and Ricki Lewis Events without hesitation – you will be in the best of hands! Thank you, Ricki and Team!

Amazing experience, Highly Recommend!

We cannot recommend Ricki Lewis Events enough! Ricki planned our wedding at Hummingbird Ranch, and the entire experience was so great. From the very beginning, Ricki’s communication was exceptional. She was always available to answer our questions, provide updates, and ease our concerns.

Her creative ideas brought our vision to life. The attention to detail, from the floral arrangements to the layout of the space, was elegant. She really took the time to understand what we wanted and incorporated personalized touches that made our day so special. We received so many compliments on how smoothly everything ran.

Thank you, Ricki, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!
