Initially, I was one of those brides that was determined to do it all by herself. But in the last month leading up to my wedding I decided to find myself some help. A friend of mine who works in the wedding industry recommended Ikiya to me, and...

it ended up being the best decision I made (aside from marrying my husband). Ikiya is a miracle worker! She coordinated everything with all of my vendors and my family seamlessly, and it truly felt like she made miracles happen. By the end of the night my sister could not stop singing Ikiya's praises, and was in awe of all that Ikiya had done. My advice to any bride since has been: "If you're even considering getting a wedding coordinator, do it! And if you're in the NYC area make sure you work with Ikiya!"

Great value, super hardworking, sweet and thoughtful wedding planner. Ikiya was a joy to work with. My partner and I were looking to have a simply, classy, but relatively low key "modern tropical" themed wedding. We are living in DC, so relied ...

heavily on Ikiya to check out venues and catering options for us in NYC. Ikiya was also able to secure discounts and help us stick to our 15-20k budget. Ikiya planned our wedding from beginning to end. She also helped with the artistic vision of the wedding day. She was patient, rolled with the punches, and worked with us whenever issues came up. Ikiya was very responsive, answering most inquiries via text within 24 hours. Most importantly, she had a positive, enthusiastic attitude throughout the whole process. There were some hiccups associated with trying to trying to 87 guests in a relatively small space for ceremony and reception, and also with securing vaccine credentials for guests and vendors, but Ikiya was able to work with us and at the end of the day, we were very happy with the wedding day. Guests were also raving about Ikiya! Very thankful for Ikiya and highly recommend her wedding planning and coordination services!

We hired Ikiya a few months before our wedding and almost a year after our initial wedding was postponed due to COVID. Not only did she ask us questions that we didn't think to ask ourselves but she was very responsive and always answered email...

s/texts promptly. Once we were in prep/planning Ikiya then went full throttle... coordinating with our vendors and facilitating what turned out to be the best wedding ever! We're so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her and her team. Definitely highly recommend.

Ikiya was EXCEPTIONAL from beginning to end. We hired her as a month of coordinator and she truly made a huge impact in the success of our event. We had planned and secured most of our vendors but Ikiya still provided a much needed organizatio...

nal piece to our planning that we would not have been able to accomplish alone. She met with us weekly to ensure all aspects of the wedding were in order. She went above and beyond to ensure that we did not have to worry about behind the scenes logistics on our big day. We are deeply grateful for her positive energy, great spirit and efficiency throughout the last month of planning.
