NC Event Designs

Nikki...Thank you for making my dream wedding come true and better! I randomly followed her instagram back in 2016 and thought to myself that if I ever marry, I'm going to hire her to design and decorate my wedding - 7 years later, I got my chance and I couldn't be happier. My wedding planner worked alongside with her to create this classy and elegant wedding that I was going for. All my guests were in awe in how the decor turned out from the ceremony to the reception. The highlight was the customized hanging cake stand which a lot of my guests couldn't stop talking about til this day. The price tag varies depending on your preference and your guestlist number. We had 135 guests attending and the price tag was not light, however, you need to take into consideration of their time, energy, and labor of love. At the same time, I wanted statement pieces like the hanging cake stand and the shelves to display my mini desserts elegantly. Everything from my wedding was mostly sourced from NC, such as the Kings table, flowers, table linens, chargers, utensils, and chair rentals. Overall, I'm so satisfied in how the result turned out and I cannot wait to have her decor my future events, like a milestone birthday. If you want an elegant and luxurious looking wedding, you will not disappoint from Nikki and her team!

Simply the BEST! I was able to just trust the process and the vision that turned out perfectly for a fantastic celebration. I'm super detailed and wanted a bit more of the details on the design, but also was confident that I would not be disappointed. Definitely booking Nikki for my next BIG event. Worth every penny!

I've had the pleasure of working with Nikki from NC Event Designs on two separate occasions. Both were weddings (Grand Island Mansion & Tsakopoulos Library Galleria) and each time that I've worked with her, I've been blown away by level of talent, skill and kindness that her team provides.To give you some background information on myself, I'm a wedding DJ and MC. I worked with Nikki as a vendor at the weddings. I do weddings about 2-3 times a month. I'm used to working with several designers and coordinators but Nikki takes the cake. Her team arrives early and completely transforms the venue. Out of all the weddings that I've done, I've yet to see a team of designers apply such a high level of attention and pride to their work. If I could give them 6 stars I would! Great job NC Event Designs

I love to work with Nikki. She communicates well with me and give me a lot of suggestions. What you need to do is trust her. I know nothing about decoration, when i first met her, I showed her some pictures from pinterest and she knows what she needs to do and start imagining the best picture for my wedding. She also coordinate with the coordinator from the hotel during the planning and make sure everything will be in right order. On my wedding day, Nikki and her team did what they need to do to make my wedding ceremony venue and reception look as pretty as possible. She knows the bride will be crazily busy and tried not to bother me unless i had any special request. The coordinators from the hotel told me that Nikki is amazing. Hotel had some table numbers, but when Nikki saw it, she told the coordinator she has something better, and went back to their warehouse and brought in some prettier table numbers. She did her best to make my wedding looks great and elegant, all my guests love the decoration and most importantly we are happy with what we have invested.

I was the bride that didn't know what she wanted. I used words like "romantic" & "whimsical" when I met Nikki and somehow she knew exactly what I was envisioning after meeting me once & showing me a handful of samples! If that's not talent, I'm not sure what is!I walked into the ballroom at Sunol's Casa Bella & couldn't believe what Nikki had done! It simply took my breath away & left me floored. She has a keen eye & knows what will work in any space/venue! Nikki also decorated & draped the pergola where the ceremony was held. My guests & I were left in awe. Everything was PERFECT! (I'll let the pictures speak for themselves).I can't express enough gratitude towards Nikki & her team for all they did on our special day. They surpassed all of my expectations!Photography by: Kamran Rehman PhotographyVenue: Sunol's Casa Bella

Seriously, Nikki is no joke!! This girl knows exactly what she's doing to get the job done beautifully! Nikki did all of our ceremony/tea ceremony decor, flowers, the most beautiful wedding cake I've ever seen (from Ettores), our reception head table and centerpieces, sign-in table and even set up our Photobooth contract. Nikki and her team even put out all of our party favors even though they didn't have to! Honestly, if anyone has ever seen King Palace..it really doesn't look like much..at all.. but she made it look so amazing!! Everyone was shocked. I felt bad because I switched up the layout on her literally like two days before and she was able to get it done! I didn't know what to expect because she said she wanted to surprise me... and sh*t! I WAS BLOWN AWAY! Nikki is so incredibly sweet and super talented. Worth every single penny. You won't regret hiring her! Thank you Nikki for everything!

I found Nikki from Yelp and decided to choose her because she had 5 stars review and also had the best suggestion for our decors and flowers compared to other florists. Nikki did a great job on our round table centerpieces.* There was a major problem on our wedding day and Nikki did apologize when the curtain lights that they brought in were labeled warm white but were actually white, so they couldn't hang it. She refunded me $200 right away. The dancing area got very dark at night due to the missing curtain lights (see photo). This ruined my photo because that was the main backdrop of my wedding and I was envisioning it very clearly and I was very upset when we couldn't have the photos we wanted. It looked so obvious as if someone just did half the job or forgot to put up the rest of the curtain lights. The curtain lights also didn't go all the way up to the top so it also looked odd. At least, Nikki refunded me (it's a wedding, you can't just mess it up and then send refund), but I don't think that one single curtain light that was used was worth $600 (total was $800 for 3 curtains and she couldn't put up 2 curtains and only refunded me $200). I didn't think it will be worth the stress of going back and forth with her regarding the cost of it, so I just gave up at the end. * The sign-in table also looked quite messy with all those risers underneath messy linens. There are two broken crystals and missing candles (see photo). It could be the venue's fault, but I hoped Nikki could have seen and fixed it since we also paid her to decorate our sign-in table. * When we met at the venue 6 months prior, she was so certain she could hang all 6 chandeliers on all 3 trees. However, on the week of the wedding, she said her electrician couldn't hang on all 3 trees because there was no outlet far away. She tried to stuff all 6 on 1 single tree and it looked so crowded because of all the lights on 1 tree and the rest had none. I really didn't know why she thought all 6 chandeliers on 1 tree was a good idea. I wished she could have checked with the venue before hand to tell me that she couldn't hang and it wouldn't look good with all 6 on 1 tree, so we could have come up with a better plan earlier. Although her round table centerpieces were great and everyone here praised her, but I really cannot recommend her based on what my wedding turned out to be.

B R E A T H T A K I N G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN??? Nikki was the first vendor I immediately contacted after getting engaged. My husband and I knew that with the venues we chose (both the church and reception venues were outdated and old), we were going to invest in our wedding decor. That was extremely important to us. Seeing her work on her social media accounts, we knew she was the one to get the job done!!! Communication has always been easy with Nikki. We met Nikki for a consultation at a local Starbucks and she was very easy to talk to! Not intimidating at all... First and foremost she wants to know what you envision your wedding day to look like, and what services you are expecting from her. My fiance had a color scheme in mind, and that we wanted our wedding to be very glamorous. She took those colors and our "glamorous" concept in mind, and RAN WITH IT! She told us that typically she prefers for brides to allow for her to surprise them. Being the lazy bride that I was, and not very crafty, I agreed that I would let Nikki take full control of all decorations. SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! She fulfilled every promise, and we couldn't have been more pleased! She is extremely patient... As the wedding got close, of course I was very anxious and stressed out. Her being very responsive and professional made me feel at ease. She is very flexible in which I truly appreciated it. Nikki will have your best interest at heart. Being a Vietnamese bride, it's very common to have your wedding reception at Happy Garden (Chinese Restaurant that holds up to about 550-600 guests). This place from the exterior looks very discouraging and ugly. I knew the second that our guests pulled up to our wedding reception, they would think "WHAT IS THIS UGLY THING?! THEY'RE HAVING THEIR WEDDING HERE?!!?!?!" That is just an automatic reaction, something you cannot change. But I knew that the second they walked through those entrance doors, they would forget all about the ugly exterior. THAT IN FACT, HAPPENED! We have been told by many friends and family that our wedding was the prettiest wedding they've ever been to. Her keen eye for detail is incredible. We hired Nikki to do EVERYTHING! She draped the entire restaurant with these beautiful sheer white drapings. She put floor dropped linens on the table, gorgeous chair covers, uplighting, flower centerpieces, etc.! Keep in mind, Nikki can do more or less. It is all dependent on the bride and what the bride needs. I can go on and on about how amazing NC EVENT DESIGNS is. But their work truly speaks for itself. CALLING ALL BRIDES TO CONTACT NIKKI! She will be your wedding savior!!! THANK YOU NIKKI AND NC EVENT DESIGNS! You allowed for My husband and I to have such a beautiful wedding!!!!!!!

If you're having any big party, you have to go with NC Event Designs for design and decor! I met with Nikki a year before my wedding to go over vision and theme. A year later, she hit the Mark!! I wanted classic and timeless wedding with a touch of modern/ black accents. The decor and design speaks for itself -- incredibly luxurious and classy. All her designs have that WOW factor that most other designers lack (I've looked into many while shopping around). Thank you so much Nikki for creating my dream wedding!!!

I had a vision for my wedding, let's just say Nikki made it look 100X better than what I was anticipating! I don't have the pictures yet, but the room was stunning! All my guests were raving about the decor! She does a lot of Arden Hills weddings. I wouldn't recommend Arden Hills as a venue (0/10 - read my arden hills review on their yelp page) BUT I highly recommend Nikki and her company (1000/10)! She even fixed mistakes that my venue made last minute at no additional cost Her company arrived early and finished early, very professional. Nikki is a true artist with her designs! I am recommending her to all my close family and friends. Wish I had another big party to host so that I could hire her again!
