I am not always the most decisive person and when it came to my wedding, there were some items where I had a clear vision of what I wanted and many of which I had no clue. Nicki did a great job of seeing to it that our wedding was perfect and tailored to our wishes. Nicki was great to work with, always very pleasant and offered great ideas. She helped us with so many little details I did not even realize went into wedding planning. She really got to know me personally and because of this, she gave me ideas and vendors that would fit with my personality and style. Thank you Nicki and BCR Events!

How can we thank Bambi enough for planning the wedding of our dreams? Through family illness and…read moreCOVID-19, she still made planning a wedding feel easy, fun, and joyous. She took so much off of our plates and did so much behind the scenes to make sure our big day was nothing but fun and perfect. The wedding itself was absolutely stunning- she took into account our ideas and likes, and made it come together beautifully! My husband and I were in awe once we saw our gorgeous ceremony spot and reception. Bambi is also warm, responsive, kind, and caring. She feels like family and we just love her. Thank you so much, Bambi!!!

We procured Ivan Carlson to do the lighting for our October 17, 2008 wedding at A New Leaf after…read moreseeing another wedding that they lit and created a lounge for. Their prices were very, very affordable compared to another place I had contacted. And the final result looked great! There was much more lighting than I expected. I had thought that the contract listed lighting for the ceremony and dance floor, but they lit the ENTIRE space, which is what I wanted, but assumed I couldn't afford. It looked breathtaking. My stomach flipped when the bus rounded the corner and we caught a glimpse of the room glowing from the outside. I recommend that all New Leaf brides get lighting if they can swing it. Like the "candle treatment," it's a worthy investment. We also ordered arm chairs and end tables from Ivan Carlson. Our sales rep, Haley Achermann, was very patient with my ever-changing furniture orders as I figured out the best layout for our event. She also allowed me to make changes to my contract without penalty, which is wonderful to me. And we conducted all of our business via e-mail, which is cool when you're planning your wedding between meetings and deadlines.

Chase made a complimentary center piece while we are having the tasting with the cater and it was beautifully done. I made an appointment with him, and soon realized that he is an excellent designer and understood me very well . I wanted something classy, earthy, modern and traditional at the same time that include all these 5 elements: water, fire, wood, earth, metal. Good luck for Chinese standard. He is so nice to talk to, I showed him a couple pics of the design I like and he immediately came up with several brilliant ideas for my wedding. The second appointment, he made me a sample centerpiece, I was amazed! I was talking to another florist and they gave me a $1000 less price, but Chase's design was at least 100 times better. I end up paying over $5K for the wedding including ceremony and reception and it was totally worth every penny. On the wedding day, some small items were not delivered by the company, but Chase gave me a full refund for all the items that were missed. The very ornate bird cage design with branches and butterflies is now reserved by the reception venue Golden Triangle, because the owners loved them. I cannot be happier with Chase. A great guy, and an amazing designer.

Highest praise for Anika Kai Events and the lovely Anika herself! I hired Anika for day-of wedding…read morecoordination and she did that and so much more. Anika helped me think through every nuance of the big day and, along with help from her staff, orchestrated the event flawlessly. Anika did not miss a single detail that we discussed and executed everything perfectly. She also came prepared with the most well-equipped "bridal emergency kit" ever and saved my bridal booty on several occasions with bandaids (those hot pink satin kate spades looked so innocent...), bobby pins, scissors, a brand new deodorant (whoops...).... the works! In addition to pulling off the wedding coordination with total perfection, Anika was also a pleasure to work with - for us and all of our vendors. Many thanks to the lovely Anika and all the folks at Anika Kai Events!!

Not only was every service provided, but AnikaKai Events went over and beyond to assure that our day was unique and flawless. Anika is thee "Event Coach", she provided clear direction and vision that was custom for my husband and I. When we hired Anika, all we had was a date and venue for our ceremony. We were overwhelmed with the choices of reception venues and all that comes along with the planning process. Anika gave us a game plan and we completed each phase within the given timeframe. Anika turned dreams into reality. Everything was more than we could have imagined. The standard of excellence wasn't applied solely to our wedding, but our engagement shoot was featured on media sites such as essence.com. The anticipation for my big day was the talk of the town because of her strategic marketing plans. Not only was the anticipation there, but no guest was disappointed by the day. The wedding day was nothing short of AMAZING! Anika orchestrated an amazing event down to the smallest detail. Every vendor she recommend was a pleasure to work with. The collaboration between her vision and the vendors talents, took our wedding to the next level. As we reflect on our wedding day almost a year later, we are extremely satisfied to have utilized the services of AnikaKai Events. Anika and her staff created a lasting memory for all in attendance. Our only regret is that we didn't hire her sooner.

If I could give Jordyn and her team like 800/5 stars I would. I was on the fence about hiring a…read morecoordinator, but planning a wedding in Chicago from Denver is no joke, and I decided a little help wouldn't hurt. What I got instead was A LOT of help. Jordyn was professional, kind, incredibly detail oriented, put out every single fire that came her way (usually without me even noticing), and absolute pleasure to work with. I was already feeling so happy with our decision but there were two things that really took me over the edge. In general, I was a pretty relaxed bride and had virtually no special requests except: I wanted to walk down the aisle to a very specific moment in a very specific song. Jordyn heard the song twice at our rehearsal and somehow did magic math to figure out how to space the bridesmaids so I would walk out at the perfect moment -- and it was perfect. Second: I was famished after our ceremony and hadn't told anyone, but like clockwork, the second our last picture was taken, Jordyn arrived with an entire TRAY of apps for my husband and me. Right after our first dance, she arrived with a cocktails without being asked. Not only is this lovely lady wonderful and hardworking, she's also the cutest and the funniest, and it made me feel like I had a trusted friend working the operations department on our wedding day. HIRE HER.

I want to say thank…read moreyou again to Chatoya for helping me put my Launch Party together for my website berryberrysweets.com. She did a wonderful job from beginning to end. She was always available to answer any questions I had, and to do walk throughs and help me with making final decisions on things I may have been stuck on. She also provided me with a calendar and budget sheet to stay on track with everything and deadlines that was a huge help when getting everything accomplished on time. She handled everything i needed her to with no hesitation, even when some things had to be repeated. I would recommend her services to everyone I know and would definitely use her services again in the future.

To say that Blair is an incredible wedding planner would be an understatement. Blair worked with my…read morehusband Chris and I over the last year and a half and throughout the entire planning and execution process Blair was tactical, thoughtful, and incredibly focused on the details. For newly engaged couples, wedding planning can be stressful and for us, COVID-19 added a completely new layer of unforeseen challenges which Blair navigated without ever missing a beat. We changed locations, guest counts and a million other details and Blair gave us the confidence and assurance we needed to pull off a wedding that far surpassed our wildest dreams and expectations. Blair doesn't treat her clients as numbers, she treats her clients as friends which is something I always appreciated. I constantly looked forward to our planning meetings and always felt comfortable reaching out with any of my questions. From our first meeting to our wedding day, Blair went above and beyond to make sure that everything was always 1 step above perfect. Choosing Blair as our wedding planner was the smartest decision we made throughout our wedding process and if given the opportunity, we would do it all over again. If you are in need of a wedding planner or coordinator, we cannot recommend BW Studio + Events enough.

We went into our wedding not thinking we were going to hire a day of coordinator, but as we had more and more moving parts, we knew that we needed one. I looked everywhere and when I found BW Studio, just looking at the website, I knew that I found the perfect coordinator and we were so fortunate that she was available for our special day. She was reassuring and helpful planning a wedding during a pandemic, and leading up to the day of, we met with her multiple times and she came to our rehearsal dinner and was patient with some of our more rowdy members of our bridal party (and my dad). The day of comes around and she was always there while making sure everything was going smoothly, and boy, I always thought at weddings things went wrong, but nothing did (that I know of). It was beautiful, she worked great with all my other vendors, and to add to it, our hotel forgot a shuttle at the end of the night and there weren't any ubers, and she drove some of my guests back to the hotel!!! Honestly, if you aren't sure if you need a day-of coordinator or planner for your wedding - you do. And you NEED to hire BW Studio - I will always recommend. THANK YOU BLAIR!!!!
