This 10th anniversary celebration was extra special- not just because it marked a decade of love, but because I had the honor of helping this beautiful couple bring their dream to life after never having had a wedding of their own. Creating moments like this is the reason I love what I do!

Here's a piece of what they shared:
"Bringing Nikilett on board was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she felt more like a friend than a planner- so warm, kind, and incredibly easy to talk to. We planned a 3-day celebration, and thanks to Nikilett, every single day went off without a hitch. What really stood out was how she listened- to every idea, every concern, every little detail and turned our thoughts into reality. We’re so grateful to have had her by our side for this milestone, and I’m already looking forward to the next event we can collaborate on."

Your bar is the social focal point of the evening, and adding custom cocktails and deliberate details can help turn it into an experience rather than just a service.

While it may seem like a simple tradition, a guestbook is a personal keepsake and heartfelt memory that you can look back on in the years to come to remind you of the people who celebrated your union and shared in your joy. There are endless ways to capture these sentiments:

𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜 𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒: showcase your favorite engagement photo and have your guests sign around the mat. You can frame it afterwards and display it in your home

𝑀𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝐵𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒: ask guests to write messages on small pieces of paper and place them in a bottle to be read on future anniversaries. If you’re a wine lover- make it a wine bottle

𝑉𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑜 𝑀𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑔𝑒: this modern take on a guestbook is a fun, interactive way for guests to leave a short clip for you to watch later on.

𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛: guests can leave their messages on postcards that represent places you love or have traveled to as a couple. You can display them in a frame or keep them in a keepsake box
