Wish & Tell

Dear Nicole, 

I Can’t thank you AMAZING WOMAN enough for helping us create the most magical weekend celebrating Cole and Chan.  No detail went untouched and I can honestly say I wouldn’t change a thing! THANK YOU NICOLE for talking me off the ledge more than once and then styling THE Most Beautiful Rehearsal Dinner with THE most delicious food - that EVERYONE is STILL talking about!  In the midst of all, she is an amazing aunt to two cuties who she plays dress up with, goes to Disney with and teaches them to enjoy every moment God gives us (I would love her to be my daughter in law but she is already married 😊 haha)

Over the past year, it has been a pleasure to get to know you and without you I certainly could have never pulled off my small part of this magical weekend. I will look back at the pics years from now and know that there was a strong, talented woman who stood with me to make sure that Cole and Chan had the time of their lives.  Which is all I ever wished for.

Happy New Year! With much appreciation,

 We had the pleasure of meeting Niki through the original venue for our wedding. Through unfortunate circumstances, we parted ways with the venue just 3 weeks before the wedding. Niki remained committed to her clients and helped with our wedding. She is incredibly detail oriented and professional.  Niki had the best memory, regardless of how many clients; she remembered all the details of our wedding from the original venue. On the wedding day, she spent many hours helping with set up, insuring that the right people were in the right places at the right time and the thankless task of clean up. She helped my vision come to light and without her I am not sure our day would have been as perfect as it was.

 Niki and I worked together for many years. So when my husband and I got  engaged I knew from the start I needed Niki to be a part of our day. Her enthusiasm, attention to detail and organization skills are stellar. I knew having her there the day of would make our wedding day go smoothly and less stressful not only for me but the staff at the venue and all vendors. Having Niki as a point of contact was the key to being able to sip champagne while getting ready with my bridesmaids without a single worry! Having her there allowed my husband and I to eat dinner and mingle with our friends and family without interruption. If you are thinking about hiring Niki, stop thinking and just do it. You will not regret it. She loves what she does and it shows through her work and her attitude. 

 Niki - Thank you so much for putting on my baby shower! What a day it was. I was so overwhelmed with the love and care that was put into every corner of that house. I was so blown away as I walked through the door to the cutest hanging decorations, baby clothes, and balloons. The colors, the food layout, even the British accent throughout were so thought out, down to the very last detail. It truly was the most perfect day and I felt so special sitting in my beautiful chair surrounded by all the magic and love that you guys put into it. 

 My husband and I were married at the end of April 2013 and our day turned out to be more than wonderful much in part to the event coordination of Niki. Niki wasn't our original coordinator, but when the change happened she instantly assured us she would pick up on every detail that was already pre-planned. She did just that! Niki's follow up was timely all the way up to the wedding day. One week before our wedding, Niki was given the difficult news that Inspirador would be closing their doors, she'd be out of a job and our wedding would be the last. Rather than worry about her own future, she reassured me that my wedding was top of mind and it would go on just as planned. Niki made good on her word. Our wedding was amazing! Niki led a great team with every detail. She tied beautiful bows, folded bow tie napkins, kept the day moving checking in on every detail along the way. During the ceremony there was glass that was broken- she swooped in- cleaned up the aisle for me to still walk down and swept the rose petals in the shape of a heart for a great picture in our album. Niki made sure we left with every item at the end of the night, to include bride and groom food to go packages. Again, Niki stepped up in a time that was difficult and focused on her client. For this, my husband and I are forever grateful. We have wonderful memories of our wedding day and Niki was a big part of that. I would highly recommend Niki!  - Jenna M. “ 

 Everything was very well planned and executed flawlessly, and the food was great! Nicole came to our initial meeting with great ideas to help create flow in a tight space. All staff on the day of the event was professional and very friendly, and I didn't have to spend my entire evening keeping track of the food situation, which was refreshing. I was able to enjoy our guests and attend to other logistical items without worry. Great job!  

 Niki was the wedding coordinator for our daughter’s wedding.  Three weeks before the wedding the original venue closed.  Niki, who is extremely professional and efficient, volunteered her services.  As soon as she knew of the closure, she began contacting new venues and vendors.  Once the new venue was selected, she came and started reworking everything to fit the new surroundings.  The wedding was all that we had hoped for and that was due in large part to her efforts. 

Niki, thank you so much for providing us with such an absolutely perfect evening! Our guests were delighted with the Dragon Fire cocktail and your bartender was kind enough to give me the recipe to share. The food was out-of-this-world fantastic, from beginning to end. Lastly, your staff is exceptional; they were wonderfully prepared and helpful to the guests. They were exceptionally kind and gracious with Martin and myself. They cleaned everything up so well; I even told them I thought they left my garage cleaner than it was when they arrived!

Once again, thank you so very much for providing us with such a wonderful evening. The people at last night's gathering are from many different areas of the U.S., from coast to coast, as well as Canada, and they were all very impressed with your company and staff and will highly recommend you to anyone in the area who needs a catering service. Many travels regularly to this area and/or have homes/friends/family in the area, and it is great to have a trusted company to do business with.
