Our experience working with LyKai was so effortless. From our first zoom meeting, we had hit it off instantly! She took the time to explain the services she provides and answers any questions or concerns you may have. She provided us with a website that helped organize budgets, guest count, recommendations, and so much more! LyKai was great about scheduling meetings and checking our progress or any changes we made. She was so helpful with recommending alternatives in order to help stay within our budget. Day of the wedding was a breeze! We had communicated so much beforehand that she handled everything day of the wedding like a boss. She understood my vision and executed it flawlessly! Thank you so much to Lykai and her team!
Choosing to work with LyKai was the BEST decision we made for our wedding! We hired LyKai as our month-of coordinator for our Indian wedding for 350+ people. From the get-go, LyKai was an absolute dream to work with. She immediately put us at ease when taking over coordination of all the details and she proactively offered suggestions and ideas rather than just being reactive to our requests (the latter is something that other planners often do). Her communications and follow-up actions were always so timely. And she took care of truly everything, from all the big stuff all the way down to things like making and framing the signs for our welcome table. She went above and beyond, and I always knew that we were in such good hands with LyKai. I never had to worry!
At the reception, we had 350+ guests and LyKai and her team handled every single part of the event with the utmost professionalism and grace. Starting with when I arrived at the venue and realized I forgot a steamer, LyKai immediately procured one (she also had a wonderful welcome package waiting with a sweet card and all the emergency items a bride could need!). We hosted our wedding at a museum where the guests were spread out throughout the museum during the cocktail hour, and LyKai and her team were able to get everyone into the main pavilion for us to start our program in a timely manner. At the reception, we wanted to take pictures with every table, which is quite a feat with so many guests, and LyKai said “no problem at all!” and handled it perfectly and kept everything moving so efficiently.
What stood out to us, and what distinguishes her from other planners, is that that not only does LyKai execute FLAWLESSLY, but she does so with the BEST energy and attitude - she is kind, warm, encouraging, supportive, and always stays calm under pressure and puts everyone around her at ease. She truly truly cares about the couple and their families (as well as the guests and all the vendors), and she continually demonstrates that through her words and actions.
If you’re looking to plan your dream wedding…do yourself a favor and hire LyKai!
Lykai is amazing! We hired her as our day-of coordinator and helped with much more than that. 10/10 would recommend.
Any questions?
We have only great things to say about our experience with LyKai from Movements Remembered Events. From our first conversation a couple months out, she made us feel at ease and made sure every detail of our wedding was taken care of. The wedding day itself was stress free thanks to her guidance. Hire her for your wedding and you will not be dissappointed!
LyKai made our wedding day happen! She put out so many fires before the wedding and the day of and because of her, we had the best day of our lives. She was honest and helpful throughout the planning process and put up with our extreme type-A personalities. We could not have asked for a better person in our corner when it came to making everything happen. If you want your wedding day to run smoothly and look beautiful LyKai and her team are who you need!
LyKai was our coordinator for our October 2023 wedding and we could not recommend her highly enough! We both work full-time hours and live across the country from our venue, and LyKai accommodated our time and distance needs perfectly. The online planning tool account was very useful and made table and timeline planning quick and easy. LyKai was highly organized, went above and beyond what we expected, and helped wrangle our big families and big guest list. Our families were so happy that she freed them up to be guests and not have a million wedding day chores, and the two of us were really able to relax and enjoy the day. Thank you LyKai!! We regret we didn’t get a picture with you :D
I knew LyKai was the right fit for my wedding from the moment we had our initial phone call. She is professional beyond belief and helped to traverse every obstacle the planning process through our way while keeping my budget in mind. She had creative solutions and outstanding vendor relationships that made my wedding the fairytale I’d never realized I could have. You get to learn a lot about someone after working with them for a whole year, and I can confidently say looking back on this process that partnering with the LyKai was the best thing I did!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about LyKai and her team. I feel like I was a very organized bride and definitely more minimal in terms of what I wanted. However, LyKai was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and made sure I didn't feel any stress during my day (as well as leading up to it). Her recommendations for vendors were great and she helped me out by providing some of the smaller decor herself. She is very responsive and organized herself- the programs that she uses make planning super easy!
Overall, I would recommend LyKai for any of your party planning needs!!
First off. A wedding is an intimate moment in your life, so having that special wedding coordinator has to just make sense! LyKai's talent beyond belief, and so full of life and energy, she brightens up the room when she walk into it. She listened to the vision I had for my wedding, and provided me with an absolutely perfect day. The flowers and decorations were breathtaking, and we have gotten a ton of compliments on how everything looked. Having LyKai meant that I could be a relaxed bride instead of fretting over every tiny detail. I knew she would take care of everything! She & her team kept the guests dancing and laughing all night long, all the while making sure I and my groom had everything we needed.
If you are reading this right now to get an idea of if you want to hire LyKai and the Moments Remembered team, my immediate feedback to you is do it.
LyKai worked with us the 11 months before our wedding and felt like a credible guiding light the entire time. Not only that, but like a friend and wedding mentor the entire way through. She has a jovial personality, great sense of humor, and strong insight that make her a person you can't wait to talk to again. We never felt that she imposed her opinion on us, if anything, she makes it a strong point to ensure that the couple are empowered to have a vision and leave her to execute it. If you are really at an impasse, you can rely on her to give feedback that will steer you in the right direction.
We were a couple that weren't the easiest to please. We also wavered on a lot of decisions, through it all, LyKai had the patience to always be on our side and never show any semblance of frustration. If you are low maintenance, medium maintenance, or high maintenance, you have found a home with Moments Remembered Events.
As we got closer to wedding time, we really felt the ramp up in effort and sense of urgency that is necessary in this timeframe. LyKai was a true PM, crossing everything off the list, and adding what we weren't thinking of. It should also be said that she was willing to take on so many extra tasks to ensure that we were ready for the big day. Whether it meant last minute quotations, hauling up items in her own car to our event that are from her personal archive, or hopping on a call spontaneously just to hear us out, all of our concerns were addressed. As I reflect on our wedding day and all the chaos that it entails, I truly could not imagine being able to enjoy the day I would have wanted without LyKai and team being there to handle everything. My wife and I had the best day of our life and LyKai was a huge part of that.
Additionally, even though she is San Diego based, she managed our event in Los Angeles seamlessly. Coordinating with vendors in LA, OC, and SD all at the same time to find us the most competitive options available. If you are in any of these markets, do not hesitate based on her location, just make the call.
The hardest part of it all is realizing that this wonderful person is no longer part of your week to week life anymore. I have the utmost respect for LyKai and admire her work ethic, passion, and genuinely fun personality that she has. If you still have questions at the end of this review, I would happily answer any that you have. But I assure you that this is the right person to help you on your journey.
Phenomenal, outstanding, incredible, one woman army. Words are hard to find to describe LyKai's excellence and our experience with her as our wedding coordinator.
Initially, friends and family members of ours were very skeptical from their own past experiences with coordinators. Only suggesting day of coordinators due to the venue's requirements and nothing more. By the end of our reception, those same people were praising LyKai's work and wishing they had hired her themselves.
From the beginning before we even signed her, LyKai's passion, knowledge and ability to transition concepts/ideas into reality were so evident. Those never waivered at any point. She is also kind, patient, personable, extremely hard working, efficient, organized and an excellent, prompt and efficient communicator.
Our wedding would have not been possible or nearly the same without LyKai. Her fingerprints were all over the entire process. She helped facilitate and streamline the planning process. She contributed her own ideas and built off of our own as well, converting both from concepts to reality. We booked our venue, hired her and every vendor afterwards was a recommendation from her and we were thrilled with all of them. Her day of execution was flawless.
We legitimately cannot say enough good things about LyKai as both a person and a coordinator and you will not regret hiring her. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.
My husband and I just got married 3 weeks ago after working with Lykai since November 2021. Lykai's services were by far one of the BEST things we paid for in our wedding budget and fully worth every penny. We had a long engagement because I was in grad school and my husband was starting a new job so we got the pleasure of working with Lykai for almost 2 years and every step of the way she was always prepared, resourceful, full of thoughts & ideas, easy to communicate with, and responsive. As two very busy people, we were looking for someone who could not just execute but also be a thought partner and help us clarify some of our ideas and really bring the vision we had in mind to life. There were countless moments where my husband or I would shoot Lykai a quick text about an idea or question we had and she'd always respond so quickly with her thoughts or expertise, a couple of options for people or designs, or sometimes with a quote because she got that good at predicting whether we'd love someone/something.
My husband is Ethiopian and I'm Black & Filipino so we had 3 cultures that we were mindful of and wanted to have an active presence at our wedding. We had a lot of visions for what we wanted and Lykai and her team executed flawlessly. From a multi-cultural wedding perspective, there were different traditions and design elements we wanted to make sure were incorporated and Lykai always came with great ideas for how to make things work logistically while also making things apart of our overall guest experience.
Additionally, my husband and I were very intentional in specifically wanting to support minority-owned businesses and Lykai's rolodex for black, brown, female, and LGBTQ vendors is truly unmatched. Part of what made our wedding day so special is that every vendor we worked with (all of whom came through Lykai's network) looked like us, represented our values, or was just an incredible human/business to work with.
We could not have been happier with the day Lykai & Moments Remembered brought to life for our wedding and the incredible work her and her team did. Highly recommend!
We hired Lykai for Day/Month-of-Coordination and it was a great decision! She checked in with me regularly throughout the wedding planning process to make sure things were going smoothly and even helped save some costs by suggesting alternate vendors, and reading contracts. Having her help was crucial during the last two months as she took over all communication and coordination between all the vendors and the venue, and I could trust that everyone would be where and when they needed to be there. Everything ran smoothly on the day of as well!
Lykai went above and beyond and helped make our last minute planning in the few months before the wedding go very smoothly. She and her team were very helpful on the day-off, handling hiccups, and adjustments with ease and relieved a ton of stress off of us on our wedding day.
Hiring Lykai as our wedding planner was the best decision we could have made! The only thing I would change about my wedding would be to have hired her SOONER! She literally saved me. I started planning my wedding on my own and I was so overwhelmed. Thank God for Lykai!!! Again, if I had known better back then I would have hired her from the start!
Planning my wedding with her was the best experience ever. She has so many amazing ideas and thinks of things I never even knew were a possibility. She knows so many vendors and just handles everything with such ease and so quickly! I only hope to answer texts and emails as quickly as her one day! Lol. She gets it DONE!
The day of my wedding couldn’t have been more amazing. Lykai and her team think of everything and truly took care of us and our guests and vendors. Everything went so smooth and we could just enjoy the day as her team handled all the logistics so amazingly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Lykai’s execution was absolute perfection and then some. Lykai/Moment Remembered Events are the BEST and I’m forever thankful to have had her as part of our wedding journey.
Thank you, Lykai for a smooth wonderful day! Lykai has many contacts with different vendors. She is experienced in her field and knows what she is doing. Flowers are her special :) Our day was beautiful and it was everything we wanted.
Couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner. From day one, everything was thought of, explained and executed flawlessly. Lykai and her team truly made the wedding of our dreams happen. I can't thank her enough for how smoothly everything ran and how special our wedding day was.
LyKai went above and beyond helping us with our wedding. She pays attention to every detail and truly cares about making your wedding perfect. She spent so much time talking with us and helping make the day seamless. Booking LyKai for our wedding was the BEST decision we made. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, just do it, it will make your wedding so much better! Thank you for everything LyKai!
Before I even got engaged, I knew that I wanted to hire a wedding coordinator because I had seen and experienced the stress of planning a large family event. I did as much research as I could and, after speaking to multiple coordinators and comparing prices, I decided to go with Moments Remembered Events. LyKai is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She is calm and reassuring, which helped me during moments of stress. I do not know how I would have made it through the planning process without her. Prior to my wedding, I was a full time student and I was also working full time. The number of unknowns in every aspect of my life was overwhelming sometimes. However, having LyKai there to help me through wedding planning was the best. She informed me of details I hadn’t even thought of, she reminded me of some wedding traditions that I incorporated into my wedding (which made it even more special), and she seamlessly planned every aspect of my husband and I’s wedding day. In addition, LyKai was there to help our wedding party and I through the photography process, which ended up being longer than planned. She brought us some of the appetizers and drinks so we could refuel before we all went to the reception venue for the first time. I could not be more grateful to LyKai for all of her help and support. I highly recommend Moments Remembered Events for all of your wedding coordinating/planning needs!
If you want some peace of mind, helpful tips and a wonderful person - hire Lykai and Moments Remembered to help with you wedding! Lykai actually was the day of coordinator for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in year ago and I'm so happy we hired her for our wedding. She smoothed over so many stressful moments when our vendor's coordinator quit a month before the wedding, she found black owned and local businesses for us, and booked things we didn't have time to book. I don't know what we would have done without Lykai - she's so wonderful to be around, respectful of your budget and knows so much about the industry and design! If you are getting married, and you want peace of mind on your wedding day/month/year (for us), hire Lykai!
Thank you so much LyKai!
BOOK HER! No need to look any further. LyKai is the best of the best. She helped create my dream wedding on a small teacher budget. She is communicative, professional, knowledgeable and ORGANIZED! She works so hard and deserves all the recognition in the world! On top of all of that, she is kind, compassionate and loving! I love you LyKai! Thank you for everything! <3 Jessica and Trevor
LyKai was a dream to work with! I could not have asked for a better wedding planner, because LyKai is the absolute best. I was a COVID bride, so I worked with LyKai for almost 2 years planning my wedding. I hired her for month of planning, but she was so generous and patient, answering all of my questions whenever I felt stressed or confused. She is literally one of the nicest people ever. Whenever I felt overwhelmed and stressed out, she was there to lend an ear and help calm me down. Even sometimes late at night when something was bothering me, I'd text LyKai and she's always have an answer either immediately or within a few hours. All of my friends and family commented on how top notch she was before and during the wedding. Keep in mind, I'm very Type A and have high expectations in general, and LyKai far exceeded mine. She is always on top of things and such an expert at what she does. My wedding day was more than I could have dreamed of and it was all thanks to her. I'm going to miss chatting with her now that my wedding is over, but I'll still be dreaming of my wedding day forever! Thank you LyKai!
If you're looking for a planner, don't waste your time interviewing anyone else- hire LyKai and I promise you'll love her too!!
LyKai was absolutely amazing as our month of coordinator. She helped us find all the perfect vendors for our wedding, helped us figure out our layout since we live out of town, and helped make our wedding day go off without a hitch. Our whole wedding day was stress free thanks to her and her team. We would and WILL recommend her to everyone we know!
We weren't planning to hire a wedding coordinator, but our hotel venue required it for the wedding day. We followed up with a few recommendations, and LyKai won our hearts from the first Zoom call. She really took the time to get to know us and make sure we were comfortable with her. And we were almost immediately. LyKai was beyond a Day of Coordinator. The communication began months before just here and there to keep us on track. She was there for the venue walk-thru, to answer any questions we had. She's super responsive. And maybe most importantly, LyKai had a super calming effect on my high anxiety level. She is just a sweetheart who will take care of making sure your special day goes just as you imagined. Thank you, LyKai!!
LyKai was such an incredible blessing to our entire wedding process. First of all, her professionalism and proactive nature made the planning, execution, and task list so manageable and Fun! She replied to inquiries immediately and always took as much time as needed to assist us with ideas or to completely answer any question we had. LyKai on wedding day cleaned, organized, packed and assembled everything. She did so almost without being seen. Somehow through all the excitement and energy, she managed decorations, the processional, last second changes, handling the music, and coordination with all our vendors (and much more) all in the background on wedding day. Incredible. I just had a ball and could enjoy every minute because I knew how “on it” this woman was. The most important thing for me was that by the end of the process I felt so close to her and was inspired by her gentle calm demeanor when so much was going on. My wedding went better than I even imagined. All the details and the love was so far beyond my expectation and I attribute a lot of that to LyKai. My best friend also used LyKai and we are both project managers. We are detail oriented and then you meet LyKai and it is a whole new level! My new husband and I are so blessed to have crossed paths with her and to have had her help through our 20 month engagement. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, think no further, this was the best decision of the wedding.
My wife and I used Lykai as our wedding planner back in July of 2021. I cant say enough about how amazing she is at her job. Everything about our wedding was perfect! My wife was going through her masters program and full time job when we planned our wedding, so the planning was really put on my shoulders... After meeting with Lykai I immediately opted for the full time planning package and it was worth every penny! We are so grateful we found Lykai and if you are looking for a amazing planner who is deeply connected in the wedding industry look no further!
Absolutely the best wedding planner. Lykai and her team made my wedding day seamless. I always heard you become very stressed while planning a wedding and I'm pretty sure that would have happened if I didn't have her by my side. Lykai is very detail oriented and does it so gracefully.
We are forever grateful for LyKai! She made our dreams come true plus more. We hired her as a month of coordinator. She is really easy to communicate with, always there early or late, and is very responsive. We appreciate her so much and we’re SO HAPPY with the final result. I have already recommended her to all of my friends who are just starting to plan their big day! Thank you LyKai!
My husband and I hired LyKai as our day/month of coordinator, and she is the BEST! We were a month out from our wedding last year when the pandemic hit, and then we had to postpone it for a year and a half. By the time the new date came around, LyKai was on top of getting us back on track. We had to find a new photographer and florist, and she had great recommendations for both! My husband and I both lack any kind of decorative eye or details for party planning, so we appreciated all of LyKai’s ideas for what we could do to make the wedding beautiful and completely us. She also has all of these great lists to make sure we thought of everything needed for the wedding, and they were SO helpful! We would have forgotten and/or not thought of so many things if it weren’t for her! When we first started planning for our wedding we really didn’t know if we needed a coordinator and if it would be worth it, but LyKai really went above and beyond all of our expectations! Our wedding would not have been as fun and stress-free if it weren’t for her! Thank you so much, LyKai! You are awesome, and we were so lucky to have found you! Knowing what I know now, I would hire LyKai again in a heartbeat!
Lykai is by far the best wedding planner ever. She was the light to covid nightmare darkness. We had to postpone our wedding 4 times and Lykai never gave up hope for us. She was our constant strength during some really hard times. She kept everything together with our wonderful ceremony and reception. She really has become part of our family. For anybody looking for the best wedding planner, Lykai is the one!!
LyKai is an amazing coordinator! We had 5 months to plan our wedding and she was everything we needed. Her ideas and suggestions helped to make our day extra special. She was flexible and always available and worked so with all our vendors. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! Thank you LyKai for being a part of our day and helping to make it perfect!
We hired LyKai as a day of coordinator and it was the best investment we made on our big day. We now wish we hired her as a planner. She’s SO experienced and good at what she does, there was many times she mentioned things I needed that I totally wouldn’t have thought of on my own. Our wedding went SO smooth and we had the best time because she was on top of everything. She is 10000% worth hiring. I can’t recommend her enough. You will be so relieved.
My husband and I were so lucky to work with LyKai for our dream wedding! We had to postpone our wedding twice due to the pandemic. All the while, she was patient and understanding. She helped us navigate this crazy world of wedding planning and was there every step of the way. She was caring, kind and professional. Also, she was available at any time which was so helpful! She helped us execute and celebrate our dream wedding. I honestly don’t think we could have done it without her! We love LyKai and moments remembered events and highly recommend them
My son and daughter in law had the pleasure of working with Lykai Johnson to plan their wedding. I was so anxious to finally meet Lykai on the wedding day. I had heard so much about her. During the months leading up to the big day, Lykai took on all plans that were in process, connected with all vendors and gave my son and daughter in law such a comfort level. The wedding day went off flawless! Having someone there to pull everything together and take care of every little detail, is a gift for every bride and groom. Thank you Lykai for all you did to make this special day so memorable.
LyKai was simply incredible since the first time we spoke. She was so on top of EVERYTHING regarding our big day. Despite selecting the month-of package, she went far and beyond. She went through each of our vendor contracts with an eagle eye, and ended up saving us $1,000 by negotiating one of our contracts (even after we had signed it). She made the whole planning process extremely pleasurable and was so on top of it throughout our big day. She gave me such a piece of mind because I knew she was taking caring of everything. I wish I could give 10000 5 stars reviews because she was THAT amazing and really made our special day something we could completely enjoy!
My wife and I feel like we just had the best wedding of all time, and it would not have been possible without LyKai Johnson. LyKai went above and beyond to make sure that not only the day-of went perfectly, but also that every little detail leading up to the big day was completed. She took control of every piece of organization and allowed my wife and I to fully enjoy our wedding day. If you want to have your special day go smoothly with everything taken care of, then you need to hire LyKai! I can't say enough GREAT things!!
I cannot say enough to thank Lykai for making my wedding the most special day of my life. My husband and I had to postpone our wedding due to Covid-19 multiple times, and although Lykai was only hired to be our "month-of" wedding planner, she went above and beyond to reschedule all of our vendors over 3 times! She is kind, organized, professional, and always responsive. I would recommend her to any of my close friends/family for any special event.
Lykai is a phenomenal wedding coordinator! I can't say enough good things about her and her assistant. Lykai recommended wonderful vendors- hair dresser, DJ, florist, venue, and photographers- and saved us a ton of money! All of the venders were professional, competent, and very affordable. Lykai is very knowledgeable, efficient, organized, and caring. She has a sweet, helpful spirit. She is quickly responsive to emails and calls. She and her assistant work extremely hard to make sure that your wedding goes smoothly, and the details are taken care of. We appreciate her so much, and thank God for her.
My husband and I got engaged in May 2020 and hired Lykai shortly after. Planning a wedding isn't easy, but planning a destination wedding during Covid was incredibly stressful. Lykai and Daniella were our MVP's (Most Valuable Planners.) They were with us every step of the way. We hired them for Month of planning, but it felt like they did so much more than what was required of them. Throughout the planning process, it was comforting to just talk to them and get advice on Covid wedding planning. They also kept us informed on the Covid situation/guidelines in San Diego, since we were not from the area. I also had one wedding emergency where I needed a new photographer just 3 weeks before the wedding(!!) and they immediately helped me find a new one! I wasn't anxious at all the day of our wedding, because I knew we were in good hands with Lykai and Daniella. On top of all that, they are so kind-hearted, easy to work with, affordable, and true professionals! You can't go wrong with them!
Planning a wedding during COVID is no easy feat but you CAN have the wedding of your dreams with vendors like LyKai. Due to a busy career, I had most of my wedding planned in November of 2019. But when you make plans, God laughs right? I was unsure if we needed a wedding planner but decided a "month of" wedding planner to be the best to fit our needs. We hired Moments Remembered in December of 2019 for her "month of" wedding planning package. Once COVID hit, I knew that my wedding plans would have to dramatically change. LyKai was with me every step of the way. LyKai was constantly coming up with ideas to make my new intimate wedding safe and fun. She went above and beyond her role to reach out to all of my vendors when we initially began making wedding changes. She is truly an expert planner with a lot of experience and I felt this in the months leading up to 8/22. She thought of all possible scenarios, plans A/B/C and so many things I did not even think of. I am a very type A personality and felt like I was "on top" of the wedding but truly, I could not have held it together with my career and DURING a pandemic without LyKai. She did so much magic behind the scenes to execute my perfect day. She was responsive to each early morning email and flexible with plans and changes. She created a wedding day packing list which was crucial I had all the decor and items we needed to have our wedding including our wedding license. The weekend of my wedding she surprised me with a wedding survival box of items, including a wedding dress hanger with my new last name. My wedding day was magical and she did an incredible job setting up the wedding/reception with all of my decor. It was exactlly how I had envisioned. Thank you LyKai!
This review is hard for me because I have so many nice things that I can say about Lykai. Basically, she is the best. Wedding planning is stressful but Lykai made the whole process so much easier. She reassured me the whole way through, guided us, and helped calm me. After meeting her for the first time I knew she would have my back and she did. She took such good care of us. The day of the wedding, I knew I didn't have to worry about anything. Just having her around made me feel at ease. Lykai didn't treat us like clients but more like family which I loved. We love you Lykai!!!!
LyKai was a wonderful wedding coordinator. She was very friendly and positive, responsive, well-prepared, and worked very well with our other vendors! Our other vendors commented to us that LyKai was really great to work with and were impressed with how detail-oriented she was. LyKai also did a fantastic job setting up decor at our wedding, and everything looked beautiful.
LyKai was fantastic as our day of coordinator. We had the "big stuff" figured out, but she was crucial in helping us piece it all together. She was also on top of every detail, helping us have an issue free wedding! Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be and we can't thank LyKai enough for helping make that happen.
Words can't express how much we LOVED LyKai! She went above and beyond with planning our wedding. Every time we had a question or concern about anything she was on top of it and made sure everything was taken care of. Even when we had a small emergency with my bridal bouquet - I texted her about it and she had a solution the same day! Would highly recommend her for planning your event. :)
LyKai at Moments Remembered Events was absolutely amazing. Because of her, our wedding process was so much smoother and less stressful - we were able to really enjoy our big day as opposed to stressing about everything! LyKai is also hands down one of the nicest people I have ever met, so we really enjoyed working with her.
My husband and I both have hectic schedules due to personal activities and work, so hiring LyKai and Moments Remembered was one of the best moves we have ever made. We both agree that our number one piece of wedding advice for engaged couples is to hire Moments Remembered as at least a month of coordinator. It makes such a huge difference. There are so many coordination things that come up in that last month that we would not have been able to handle on our own nor known to do. LyKai created our timeline, coordinated with our vendors, and handled all of the last-minute details. Because we had Moments Remembered Events , we were able to actually enjoy time with family who had traveled for the wedding – LyKai took care of things while we were sightseeing!
On the day of, Moments Remembered handled all of the décor set up and made our reception and ceremony sites look amazing. When I saw them, I was absolutely stunned at how beautiful they were – she had gone above and beyond what I was expecting. LyKai also handled the timeline on the day of – I was able to focus on soaking in the day instead of stressing about all the moving pieces.
I think the best evidence of LyKai’s skills and dedication is the fact that I don’t know of a single thing that went wrong at our wedding. I was warned by many couples (most of which did not use a coordinator) that at least one thing will go wrong on the big day, but nothing bad reached myself or my husband. LyKai took care of everything. We felt very blessed to have LyKai for our wedding, and cannot recommend her services enough!!
Lykai was the kindest most organized dream of a wedding planner! She was on top of the entire wedding throughout our process together. She made having a wedding for me as stress free as possible & I am extremely happy with her services and professionalism!
I would recommend her to anyone I know getting married in San Diego
Love,
Alexis
At first we were a bit hesitant to hire a wedding planner because we didn't know if we really needed one since we wanted something small, intimate and, most importantly, affordable. However, we are so happy that we did decide to go for her. From day one at the first consultation she gave us the assurance and confidence that she would help us create the wedding that we had always envisioned with the right price tag. It was an even more beautiful and wonderful event thanks to LyKai, her planning and execution on our big day. Thank you, LyKai!
I can't say enough about how great Lykai and her team were! Her attention to detail, customer service, positive attitude, calm demeanor and overall ability to execute on everything we had planned truly made our wedding that much more unforgettable! All of our vendors were so impressed with her level of organization and planning. Without a doubt we highly recommend Moments Remembered for all of your wedding planning and needs!
We had an amazing wedding and I could not be more grateful to this amazing team! Our wedding was perfectly executed and Lykai was there every step of the way!
The small things you don't even think about, the attention to detail, the amazingly positive and reassuring attitude that they projected and the hands on work they did, made it all come together on our big day!
Our other vendors (photographer, DJ, Catering, Venue) where all impressed and let us know how good the follow up and organization was.
I highly recommend them for your wedding or event!
Working with LyKai was an absolutely perfect experience. It was a flawless event! We hired her for our outdoor January wedding and she arranged everything for us from the cake to the flowers to the menus and the seating chart, which worked like a dream because my husband and I lead very busy lives and that way we were able to fully enjoy the day of the wedding with the peace of mind of knowing that LyKai had taken care of everything. She organized such a lovely and memorable wedding day that we recommend her to all our friends and family.
Lykai is a dream to work with!
I hired Lykai to be just my day-of wedding coordinator for my wedding last month In September. We met her at a bridal show in February or March and she was utterly charming and sweet then, and remained that throughout our whole wedding planning process.
She is extremely organized, patient, creative, and helpful. Lykai not only helped coordinate our actual wedding day to be the most perfect day we could imagine, but also went above and beyond in the weeks leading up to it. She kept us on schedule with our vendors and other wedding tasks, and even suggested ideas that we never thought of. Our family and bridal party loved her during the rehearsal and wedding.
I would highly highly recommend others to hire Lykai for wedding planning and day of coordination. She truly loves what she does, and will make your day better than you could imagine. Thank you Lykai!!! 😊
We hired LyKai to be our day-of coordinator, and she also helped out the entire month before the wedding! She was, in a word, phenomenal. She was incredibly responsive via text/call/or email; she offered suggestions when asked and kept me so organized; she kept track of everything so that I didn’t have to; she communicated with all vendors; she gave me the sweetest gift basket on the day of containing an adorable hanger for my dress with my new last name on it, as well as a ton of emergency items (like deodorant, bobby pins, etc.); and she has the kindest, warmest personality that always made us feel so comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend LyKai. You cannot go wrong with her, and I cannot imagine a better experience!!
As a mom ( who lives in WA) helping plan my daughter’s wedding (at Brick in San Diego), words cannot describe how GREAT it was to have Lykai (Moments Remembered Events) as our day of (month of) wedding planner!!! Lykai was so organized, efficient, and professional! She was also the kindest, sweetest, most positive person who really got to know us and who truly loves planning and putting on weddings! She had so many great ideas and helped us stay on budget. She planned a very workable timeline in advance, kept us on track, and handled all the vendors.
I got to spend the day of the wedding with my daughter and her bridesmaids while Lykai handled the entire setup. When we arrived at the venue it was an incredible feeling to walk in and see everything set up perfectly!!! Lykai masterfully orchestrated the ceremony, the flip to the reception, the timeline throughout the evening....everything went so smoothly!! She also managed the entire cleanup, including loading a groomsman’s truck with everything that had to go home! I cannot rave enough about how WONDERFUL Lykai was!! We LOVED having her.... she was AMAZING!!!
I can never say enough amazing things about LyKai! We booked her as a day-of-coordinator but she was in constant communication with us for more than a month before the wedding. From the beginning she was one of the most positive upbeat people I have ever met and it was such a joy to get to know her. I didn't have a super clear vision of what I wanted my wedding or reception to look like but I described the elements that my now-husband and I had decided on and she was able to pull all of those together to create a seamless look. She even loaned us numbers for our tables and 'reserved seating' signs for our ceremony when she heard that we hadn't gotten any yet.
I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Getting married in San Diego we figured we were safe with a fully outdoor venue (the Martin Johnson house) and literally had no plan for rain up until the week ahead of our wedding. This was despite the fact that the forecast had been predicting rain on our wedding day a full month out and refused to change. While doing the walkthrough with LyKai she helped us overcome our denial and come up with layouts for both sunny and rainy days and then did a ton of hard work contacting our rental company and others to get quotes for tents and figuring out how to make everything work. On the day of, she was the first to arrive and completely coordinated all of our vendors setup so that my bridesmaids and mom could focus on relaxing and getting ready with me. When we arrived at the venue everything was all set to go for the ceremony and looked better than I could have ever imagined. Because we were using our rain day plan that had only part of the deck covered with a large tent she had to coordinate flipping the ceremony spot to dining and then flipping it again to a dance floor a few hours later. This was a ton of extra work since our original plan had all three of these occurring in separate areas which meant it could have all been set up ahead of time. Despite this, LyKai never seem flustered or rushed and I don't think any of our guests even noticed that anything was going on in the background while they enjoyed the cocktail hour or were asked to step inside the house for a video presentation made by my mom. The entire evening just flowed absolutely seamlessly and that would not have been possible without LyKai. The only question I got asked by any vendor was when our bartender asked if I'd like a drink or one of our waiters asked if I'd like some of the cocktail hour appetizers brought to our table. My husband and I could truly just enjoy the reception with our guests which was amazing. She also prevented me from accidentally using my own bouquet in the bouquet toss since I'd told her earlier I wanted to keep it and use one of the smaller bridesmaid ones instead but then forgot in the heat of the moment. At the end of the evening, LyKai also stayed to pack all the decorations we had brought into a car for my brothers to drive back and supervised as our vendors packed up their equipment and left. I'm sure she was the last one to leave the venue.
I give LyKai my highest recommendation, she is an absolute professional, has a true eye for design, is so sweet, and will exceed your expectations in every way! If you are planning a wedding, book LyKai!
Lykai helped make our wedding day perfect! From day one, she was so helpful and responsive. I felt like she truly cared about our wedding and our wishes, all the while keeping our budget in mind. She was also helpful with informing me of things I didn’t even know I needed to think about! She was able to accommodate a room flip as we had both the ceremony and reception at the same venue, which was a lot of work! Without a doubt, our wedding day would have been a disaster without her there to help keep things organized and on schedule!
We were referred to LyKai with Moments Remembered Events from a friend for our wedding. We heard nothing but great things about her and were excited for her to do our wedding. She did such a great job organizing our wedding and making sure everything went smooth. I was so worried about something going wrong but absolutely nothing went wrong. We really appreciate her and all the many questions she answered and her help all around. We will continue to refer her to anyone we know getting married.
For the review: I can’t thank LyKai enough. I didn’t realize how much I needed a planner until I hired LyKai. She told me about things I never thought about and I’m so grateful for it. Our wedding day turned out flawless. She gave us an emergency kit that myself and bridesmaids ended up using the day of. We had a large wedding party and she kept everyone in order and everything flowed well, just like the prepared timeline. We definitely had an amazing wedding. Thank you LyKai for all your help and attention to detail.
Lykai was absolutely amazing! She really went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it, and she took great care to make sure our special day went smoothly. She communicates quickly a clearly and I will definitely be using her services again!
I really enjoyed working with Lykai and Moments Remembered Events. During my time working with her, my wife and I didn’t feel like just another client, but that we were her only client. I honestly was very worried about booking a wedding planner when my wife suggested it. Was the expense worth it? Did we really need a wedding planner? Would someone we just meant understand what we wanted for our wedding? Again, was it worth it!? Lol! If you are reading this let me tell you, it’s worth it!! Lykai did a great job of making the vision we had for our big day come to life, and her attentiveness and attention to detail made our wedding day stress free! Booking her as our coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. I really appreciated how she was only a call away to answer any questions or help with any details we thought of. Lykai did so much more then I ever expected and I am so grateful for everything she did for my wife and I. If you are looking for a wedding planner I higher recommend using her!!!
Lykai made our wedding look and feel exactly how we imagined! She did everything from A-Z and we only hired her as a day of coordinator for our wedding. Definitely would book her again if and when we decide to have another event! I mean, she does baby showers too! Lol she made us feel very comfortable and we definitely clicked from the first time we spoke on the phone! I knew she was the one I could trust with one of the biggest day our lives! She even helped me get reliable vendors to assist with the event for a low cost! She’s worth it! Don’t hesitate and book her now! :)
Wow Lykai. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding so special. Everyone loved you. You gave us everything we wanted plus more. You’re the best and we can’t wait to use your services again.
Thank you so much LyKai!! Both Charles and I appreciate everything that you did to make our day special. The family raved over your professionalism and how tentative you were thoughout the entire event. I am ecstatic to be Mrs. Graves. We cannot believe we are married. We are taking it all in and enjoying each day. And thank you very much for the beautiful pictures.
Lykai was phenomenal with saving us time and money, by working with a team of reliable vendors! Lykai is hands on; she was always a call or a text away! She remembers all your “must haves” making our wedding absolutely beautiful. Guest were truly impressed. I’m glad my wife (fiancée then) found someone to make our big day special, and ultimately stress free. Thank you LyKai!
LyKai is super thoughtful and sweet. She really tries to connect with you and get to know you as a person, not just as someone she’s working with. She did a fantastic job coordinating our wedding and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you x100, LyKai!
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Lykai as our wedding coordinator. Lykai was generous enough to give us a discount since I was referred to her through my cousin. I only booked Lykai for month-of-coordinator but she acted as if she was there for me right from the start. I reached out to her 10 months before my wedding and the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew she was the one for us. She was very personable in our first phone conversation where she got to know more about me and my vision. In the middle of wedding planning, I had a hiccup with one of my bridesmaids and she was available to chat me through it and gave me really good advice on how to handle the situation. I felt like I was talking to a friend. Lykai is very calm and holds herself well which makes a bride like me feel better in times of stress. Our emails, texts, and phone calls over the course of the 10 months were very professional and she always responded in a timely manner. Leading up to the wedding day, we were a week out and had a scare about rainy weather for our outdoor wedding. Lykai handled everything for us in terms of calling around to get quotes for tents and umbrellas. She hustled at the last minute to coordinate with all of our vendors to make sure we were prepared for bad weather. Luckily, mother nature was on our side and it ended up not raining on our wedding day and it was just the most beautiful day. Lykai is such a sweet person and is so considerate and caring. She even gifted me a box of emergency goodies for the day of which included a personalized hanger for my gown and a nice bottle of wine. Lykai went OVER AND BEYOND to make sure our wedding day was perfect and I would definitely recommend her to other couples 100%. Thank you again, Lykai! You were truly amazing.
I was lucky enough to find LyKai for my feb 24th wedding. I don’t know what I would of done without her. I was completely against having a day of coordinator but it was required by our venue. Thanks God it was. LyKai made everything so easy! I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Everything was taken care of before I even asked about it haha. The day of my wedding went smoothly and it was so much fun! Thank you so much LyKai!!!
I just had my wedding this past summer and I had a wonderful experience with Moments Remembered. Lykai took such good care of me and my bridal party. She was attentive and patient with my ever changing vision. Her creativity helped make my vision come to life. She made my wedding an event that was beyond my wildest dreams! Thank you so much Moments Remembered!
Lykai was my wedding coordinator, she did an excellent job made the day go very smoothly and had everything organized and beautiful I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator for my wedding!I highly recommend her she is very reliable and trustworthy , and is an excellent wedding coordinator and decorator!:)
I found working with LyKai to be extremely helpful; she really made my wedding day—and the events leading up to it—smooth. She was easy to contact and communicate with. She listened well to ideas and wishes and expertly executed them. She also helped to find other vendors and secure deals on their products and services. Most importantly, I think, is that she is so caring when it comes to her clients. You can really tell that she loves working to make clients' days special and that love is apparent in her hard work and heart she brings to the event. I highly recommend her.
Our wedding in June was excellent. Lykai made my new wife feel at ease about the whole wedding process and we enjoyed our event tremendously. Even as a groom, I felt very connected to Lykai and she was always available for any questions or concerns I had. My wife and I couldn't be happier about everything she did for us and we can't thank her enough for all the work she put in to our special day. She made everything feel so simple and effortless and her knowledge is unsurpassed. She truly is a gem and there are not enough words to express how thankful we are to have had her managing every step of our awesome event.
I had the pleasure of working a wedding with LyKai a few months ago. It is clear that she does a great job! From really understanding her clients' overall vision for their event, to anticipating issues before they arise, this woman has it down! She has a great relationship with lots of vendors, communicates well, and is just an overall great woman. As someone with a background in event planning myself, I would be happy to use Moments Remembered for any special event in the future.
Lykai was awesome! She was very helpful and understanding of my special requests. Being able to set up a beautiful wedding for a large group but still make it feel personal is what we were looking for and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to handle the task. From the first meeting to final set up confirmations, Lykai was professional, available, and made my wedding less stressful. She is truly an exceptional artist at what she does and I recommend her services to anyone that needs a real, and super friendly professional! Thank you Lykai, I couldn’t have done it without you!
Hiring Lykai was one of our best decisions for our day! She was worth every penny She handled any issues, big or small tiny , so we could relax. Highly recommend!
Lykai was an amazing coordinator. She made the event go off without a hitch. She is very creative and professional.
One of the most professional individuals you will ever encounter! Lykai is organized and pays so much attention to details --especially when it came to center pieces and the layout of the bride and grooms table. She treats you like family and respects YOUR vision for your big day! She even remembers my wedding anniversary each year, always sending me and my husband best wishes for the upcoming year... A TRULY SPECIAL WOMAN. So blessed to have had this lady by my side during such an important day. Thank you Moments Remembered!
My experience with Moments Remembered Events was nothing short of phenomenal. With top event planner Lykai's expertise, creative eye, and experience my events were made special to say the least. Lykai was at my every call to put my mind at ease when planning not only my wedding but bridal and baby shower! Three very special once in a lifetime milestones.
Her professionalism is unmatchable, Lykai makes herself available even in her own personal time and goes the extra ten miles to ensure not only satisfaction but pure gratification. The events she planned were my firsts so she listened and led me in the right direction to make it my own. With her knowledge of outside vendors she was able to make everything come to life on time and budget. Hey style and creativity bring your dreams to life, whether contemporary or timeless classic. I will use Moments Remembered Events for all of my future sentiments.
By far one of the best decisions I made was hiring LyKai. She made the entire process of planning a wedding such an easy and enjoyable thing to do. She was so helpful, fun, and professional. She was always available whenever I needed advice and had a great idea or solution ready. She went completely above and beyond without overstepping. Our wedding would not have gone so smoothly and looked so beautiful without her. She was an absolute life saver and such a great person. I would recommend her to anyone because I know how well she does her job and how hard she works.
I have had the pleasure of working with Lykai for a long time friends wedding. I am a hair and makeup vendor in the wedding industry and working alongside other talented vendors who are on their A-Game are a HUGE help. Lakai is not only an extremely organized planner, but she is so sweet to work with and incredibly thoughtful. I was blown away when my bride (and friend) showed me the wedding day "care package" Lykai put together for her. It had every little nick nack in there you would need on your wedding day. Things like that are so memorable and mean so much. I look forward to working with Lykai and Moments Remembered Events many times over!
