It’s been over 2 years since my husband and I got married and I want to reflect on what led us up to our big day. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kendra as my wedding planner, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, she exceeded all expectations and made our big day truly unforgettable.
Kendra is a creative genius when it comes to wedding ideas. Her innovative concepts added a unique touch to our wedding, making it stand out in the best way possible. What's even more impressive is her ability to work within our budget without compromising on quality or attention to detail.
Her personal inventory of decor is a game-changer. We had access to her collection of beautiful decorations that elevated the entire ambiance of our wedding. Plus, the fact that she's willing to travel out of state for day-of services is a testament to her dedication.
Kendra is the epitome of organization. She provided us with detailed checklists, invaluable advice, and a list of dos and don'ts that made the entire wedding planning process stress-free. She managed everything flawlessly, ensuring that every day leading up to our big day and beyond was worry-free.
I can't thank Kendra enough for her outstanding work as our wedding planner and her friendship throughout this journey. If you're looking for someone who will turn your wedding dreams into reality, all while keeping your budget intact and your stress levels low, look no further. Kendra is the wedding planner you've been searching for. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning their special day. Thank you, Kendra, for making our wedding truly memorable! ✨
Kendra is the absolute best! Kendra handled it all while letting my partner and I be ourselves. She truly helped create an event that represented us and allowed all of our guests, and us, to have an absolute blast.
Kendra is direct, clear, compassionate, and incredibly talented. She was able to answer our questions, help us make good choices, and make sure we were getting what we needed from our vendors.
Most importantly Kendra made the vision we had come to life even when my partner and I did a remarkably poor job of describing what we wanted.
I can't say enough good things about Kendra and the talented guidance she provided us. As parent of the bride my main concern was having things go smoothly and keeping an eye on the budget. Kendra made both magically smooth. Her expertise, connections, spreadsheets and grounded demeanor make her the perfect partner. She's bright, thoughtful and a pleasure to work with.
Kendra absolutely rocked our wedding. Her ability to stay calm during all the ups & downs and changed minds about wedding planning was key to helping us stay on track throughout our two year wedding planning journey. She was there for us at the start and was able to guide us back to our initial goals of having a kickass San Francisco wedding. She organized our park ceremony seamlessly and had an assistant setting up at the restaurant where we had our reception while we bopped around the city on a double decker trolley (shout out Nationwide Limo), showing our guests the best of the city.
If you are looking for a cool, calm & collected wedding coordinator to keep you on track with your wedding dreams, hire Kendra. She's the best!
We were so thankful we found Nomad Nixon, and were so appreciative of Kendra and all the incredible work she did in helping us have our dream wedding! The month of service was perfect for us and we were thankful for her expertise and support and how easy it was to communicate with her! She kept us on track and helped us when questions arose. Having her guidance while planning a wedding during the pandemic was everything and helped alleviate so much stress for us. She helped connect us with amazing vendors and truly made the actual wedding day so stress free for us. I definitely would recommend her to any of my friends or family!!!
Talk about attention to detail! Kendra has such a good eye, is a calm and organized presence and her aesthetic is amazing. I recommend Nomad Nixon to anyone who asks.
Kendra was absolutely amazing. She was able to transform a blank tent into the most magical evening for my wife and I. Extremely profession and handles issues calmly, discretely and efficiently. The day before the wedding, only 1 of the 8 tables were delivered by mistake. I had no idea there was ever an issue with the tables until a few days after the event. She has a great relationship with vendors which makes coordination 10x better.
She is so creative and goes above and beyond to find different unique pieces to make your vision possible. Thrifty and budget conscious.
We were having a really bad experience with our floral vendor before we reached out to her about the partial planning package. When we decided to switch vendors she took care of all of the communication and essentially broke up with them for us. They tried getting us pay them more than what we already had and she read through the contract and realised that they actually owed us money.
Truly top tier wedding planner, couldn't have done this without her, especially during a pandemic.
Kendra is so amazingly talented, intuitive and fun. She is so creative and every detail is done perfectly. Highly reccomend her for and event!
Kendra is the BEST event coordinator to work with! From day one to the actual event day, she provides any information or answers any questions regarding your event! Her attentiveness and attention to detail is beyond. We were able to enjoy our wedding stress free! We are so lucky to have had Kendra help us on our wedding day, she is magical!
I can't say enough good things about Kendra. She took what very little direction we gave and helped us create our perfect wedding.
Kendra kept us totally on track with planning and make the process completely stress free. She took care of so many small details that I didn't think of and handled things I wasn't sure how to.
Her decorating skills are unmatched and everything looked so well put together.
She is so laid back and calm which is exactly what we were looking for and helped keep us grounded throughout the weekend.
Truly the best decision we made for our wedding.
Kendra was invaluable to our wedding celebration. We liked her so much we had her do it twice! (JK, that was COVID’s fault.) Don’t let Kendra’s super laidback demeanor fool you — she is on top of all details, all latest trends and fun ideas, and will keep you honest with whatever you need (counts, tips, extras, colors, schedule, etc.). She helped us navigate three different wedding dates, changing COVID guidance, and ultimately keeping everyone safe and healthy. She took care of details I didn’t even realize was in her job description — and kept the fantastic surprises coming right up until the end. If you’re a couple who can articulate your vision and outsource the rest, Kendra is for you.
We are so grateful to have worked with Kendra for our wedding in Berkeley last month!
I was one of those people who wasn't sure we even needed a planner for our "chill" wedding with minimal pomp and circumstance, but I received strong advice from friends and family to spring for a day-of coordinator so we could enjoy our day. I am now joining the experts to say you should definitely get a coordinator and you should definitely work with Kendra!
Kendra was an awesome resource during the planning process, providing helpful tools, tips, and vendors recommendations, and being an open book for my questions via email. In the weeks leading up to the day, she was super helpful in pulling everything together and helping us feel like we were well-prepared!
On our wedding day itself, Kendra did an amazing job with all of the details of the day that I could not even imagine taking on while getting married! She kept all of the vendors in the loop and on schedule, set up our decorations beautifully, oversaw clean-up, and was just such an amazing ally and calming presence for us throughout it all.
Thank you so much, Kendra!
Kendra is an absolutely amazing coordinator and person. She provided full coordination for us, and it was one of the best choices we made in the planning process. She was available to us for assistance with every detail at anytime. Her help was vital in locating vendors and making decisions. I loved having her input on styling and logistics of the day. She is always there to remind you what the day is truly about. Day of she was an all star, she put in so much time and effort to make sure the day was as perfect as we dreamed up. Anyone who chooses her will be blessed with an amazing experience and a friend. Kendra`s passion for weddings and love stories shines through her work.
We hired Kendra 6 months out as a day of coordinator. She literally took all of my day of stress away and really helped leading up to the wedding with a ton of small details that we would have certainly overlooked! If I ever I have a need for help with events in the future I would certainly go back to Kendra! She has an amazing aesthetic, takes care of business and helps create what you are looking for!
Kendra was nothing short of AMAZING! Kendra helped keep my family from taking over and helped us realize our vision for the wedding day. She created a thorough timeline and helped us keep to it, photos went seamlessly, any rogue family members were handled with care and respect, all vendor issues were filtered through her and handled without me even knowing there were any, and I knew I could trust her to create a beautiful space for our ceremony and reception. She also provided us with ceremony scripts which were beautiful and quite helpful. My dad has told me several times now that Kendra was instrumental to keeping my mom from going too mom-zilla. I don't think my wedding would've been so stress-free without her!
There is no way how to describe the feeling you get when your daughter's is fully personalized --as a lover of design and creativity, having special touches was key, and not one special touch was missed -- Everything that Kendra arranged created magic and that energy permeated our family's wedding, creating excitement, meaning and a joyful time for all.
Kendra's creativity and personalization made the wedding - period. She arranged benches, beautiful candles, altars, pillows, created unique seating and suggested thoughtful and playful ideas to make the wedding better than we could've imagined. It was like a stunning, live Pinterest setting -- Kendra is amazing .... if you want to have a magical wedding -- you need this little fairy with her golden dust to sprinkle her enchantment!
I loved every minute of working with Kendra and Nomad Nixon. We were so impressed with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or other type of big event. Our wedding decor looked so enchanting and well put together! I was in such awe, and so moved that it was my own wedding! I spoke with Kendra about the style my husband and I liked and this design genius used her magical touch to make it all come to life. Kendra takes care of everything in a calm and efficient way. I am so grateful that I never felt the 'chaos of wedding planning' as some people do. Working with Nomad Nixon always felt fun and under control. She is so organized and efficient in her process. I was able to truly enjoy the morning of my wedding because Kendra was there to handle everything. I spent the hours leading up to the ceremony with peace of mind, knowing that everything was under control. This was priceless and rare and it's all because of this wedding planning legend! Thank you Kendra and Nomad Nixon!
