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. Nikita 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!

I have no idea where to start with Nikita. She took the stress off me and my wife. She always put us first and made sure to make us happy. She is very nice, very sweet, and gets enthusiastic about the wedding and the couple. Me and my wife ABSOLUTELY love Nikita. She will do everything within her power and then some to make sure her couple has the best wedding day possible. I'm so glad we was able to have her to do our wedding. Nikita if you are reading this, from the bottom of mine and Kelsie's heart, we want to thank you so much for doing our wedding. We had an absolute blast working with you. I loved how you got so into our wedding. We couldn't have picked a better person then you. Thank you so much Nikita! We really appreciate all you had done for us!

Nikiti did a good job keeping the bridal part in order, my only issue was that she cut my top tier cake that I would have preserved for my anniversary. Thank you for everything and staying on me to make sure I had everything done and in order.

Nikita was awesome! She took away wedding and planning stress so we could relax and enjoy our day. I would recommend her to any engaged couple who is looking for some extra support on their wedding day!

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! ♥️

Words can not even express how amazing Nikita is. She is so professional and knows how to get things done! She went above and beyond for us and I can’t imagine how the day would have 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!!

Nikita helped make the timeline and let all the vendors know how the day was going to go! The best part was that she was there for the rehearsal and helped us figure out how things were going to go on the day of! Our wedding day went smoothly, there were some fast and slow parts of the day but even when she wasn't there she was always on call and letting us know what the vendors were doing. Thank you for making our day run so smoothly and making it the best day of our lives!

I cannot express how thrilled I was with Joe Anthony photography. Joe captured my daughters Sweet 16 with beautiful shots of memories I will be able to keep forever. His professionalism was nothing, but exceptional. He has a away of making my very shy daughter shine through the camera. Joe photography will be my go to photographer for any of my other events.

Joe Anthony Photography shot our event and took beautiful posed and candid shots. He has an eye for capturing intimate moments you want to remember. The edited finished video told our story in such a way that I can’t help but watch it again and again. His professionalism and talent is outstanding! I can’t wait to hire him again to capture more of our milestone moments. Book him while you can!

Nikita was present during the entire wedding process and helped with big decisions and planning. Her professionalism was key when working with other vendors and came in handy on the big day as well. Her organization and communication skills lead our wedding to be an absolute success. A big thanks to Nikita and her team!

Nikita was the perfect coordinator! We 100% would not have had a perfect dream wedding without her. She helped create the wedding day timeline and was so open and receptive to any changes or tweaks we needed to make. She was always prompt in responding and always remained professional. Her cost is competitive with others but the most affordable service I found. 10/10 would recommend
