into wedding planning, I didn't know diddly squat. There's so much pressure to execute a fabulous event! But every time I consulted Tricia, I left feeling way more confident and informed about my decisions. I also never felt pressured by her to do trendy wedding things or stick to tradition either (there's enough of that already from family/friends/society). I trusted her going into our wedding day and she absolutely delivered: everything ran smoothly and on-time. I felt held by her team. At one point, we wanted to emerge on the balconly waving to our guests. This was not part of the "timeline" but Tricia, without a beat, made it happen. It's little spontaneous moments, like those, that I'm going to remember. Crucially and wonderfully, it's Tricia and her team that made it happen!

would have considered on our own, the kind of touches that made our wedding feel truly complete. What stood out just as much was her communication throughout the entire planning process. She checked in consistently and kept us informed every step of the way, so we never felt in the dark or stressed about where things stood. On the wedding day itself, she was everywhere at once. Her and her team ran the show seamlessly behind the scenes and jumped on whatever didn't seem right to fix right away. We cannot recommend her enough. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

tor for the reception celebration. I first met Tricia at a networking event for entrepreneurs, and the first thing I noticed was her calm demeanor and genuine excitement for us and our event. Working with Tricia honestly felt like working with a trusted friend/auntie who makes sure nothing gets in the way of you enjoying your celebration. She is absolutely the hype woman you want in your corner throughout the wedding process. Our work together started with a discovery call where I shared our vision for the reception. Tricia took detailed notes and asked thoughtful questions. For my fellow Type A planners: Tricia is amazing because she will take over exactly what you want her to take over. One of the biggest things I learned early on was that you hire Tricia and her team so YOU and your partner can actually enjoy your event and guests instead of stressing the entire time. She was always responsive, organized, and communicative throughout the process. I could text her questions or updates anytime, and she would always get back to us in a reasonable timeframe. She also helped keep us on track with vendor payments and deadlines. What stood out most was how much guidance Tricia and her team gave us leading up to the reception. She gave us best practices for organizing décor, seating charts, signage, and name cards so her team could execute our vision smoothly day-of. She also has a great network of trusted vendors — I used two of her recommendations for hair and makeup and had a wonderful experience. Her pricing was very reasonable, and I appreciated that she asked upfront about our budget so she could guide recommendations accordingly. One of the most unique things about our reception was that we lost our original venue because the company went bankrupt only 3 weeks before the event. I still remember texting Tricia at 10 PM to tell her what happened. She immediately helped calm us down and supported us through the process. Somehow, we secured a new venue within a week, and Tricia and her team were incredibly flexible through all the changes. We had 107 guests, and throughout the reception Tricia and her team kept everything organized while still making the night feel warm and personal. She genuinely cared about our guests, knew who our VIPs were, and was thoughtful about family dynamics. She was also in constant communication with vendors and subtly gave us updates throughout the night so we felt informed without feeling stressed. Everyone says you won’t eat at your wedding, and let me tell you — it’s true. We were running on pure adrenaline all night. Thankfully, Tricia and her team constantly reminded us to eat, hydrate, and take moments for ourselves. She even made sure we had food packed up to take home at the end of the night! Our guests also gave us so many compliments about Tricia and her team. They were warm, attentive, organized, and truly helped the entire night flow smoothly. Tricia even made sure we properly closed out our bill at the end of the reception so there were no loose ends for us to worry about. By the day of the reception, I truly felt like I could let go and trust her team completely — and that is priceless. Thank you so much, Tricia and Najorda Events, for helping make our reception celebration so special.
