Hiring Nikita was the best decision we made for our wedding day. We chose the day of coordinator package since we already had most of our planning done. All I can say is WOW. Nikit...
a was so on top of everything and very detail oriented. We had a call with her about a month and a half out from our wedding to go over all the logistics and she asked us so many questions I would not have even thought about. From there, she reached out to all our vendors to make sure we were on the same page and same timeline. On the wedding day, Nikita made sure that all questions were funneled through her and that everyone was where they needed to be on time. I can honestly say that I was not stressed out at all, which is not like me when I am hosting an event. I was able to relax and enjoy our wedding day. We highly recommend Nikita for a wedding coordinator!

My husband and I decided to hire a wedding day coordinator last minute because we had no clue who was going to help guide everything on our big day. I searched through The Knot and...
saw Nikita and decided to reach out to her. She replied quickly and set up an interview at our home to cover everything. She was very attentive, bubbly, and thoughtful through the entire process. My husband and I still say to this day our wedding wouldn’t have went as smooth as it did without Nikita. She made the day flawless, and added in personal touches and made sure our vendors and guests were where they needed to be and our wedding party was comfortable. We HIGHLY recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much Nikita! ♥️

ve went if we didn’t have her as our planner. I came into the wedding day feeling relaxed because I knew everything would be handled. She takes this profession very seriously and is so supportive of the couple and making sure we had the most perfect day. She was always available for questions, very thorough with detail and just overall the best we could have asked for. Thanks again Nikita!!
