Nyika is absolutely amazing! She is responsive at all hours and extremely accommodating. My husband and I are from Chicago and got married at the RIU in Montego Bay the hotel was not accommodating or responsive. We were so lucky to find Nyika who planned and designed our entire wedding within our budget. I am so grateful, Nyika blew our expectations out of this world!! She is a true professional and beyond skilled at what she does. You will not regret working with her!

Let me start by saying all the reviews you see on Nyika are all true! She is truly one of the best out there and makes you feel special. Not only did she save our wedding, but she took my vision and made it better than I could have ever imagined. After spending months trying to work with planners who came with good recommendations from Facebook groups and Instagram we were struggling to find a good fit due to our 6-month timeline (which I wouldn't recommend having in general) and feeling like we were just a money grab to some planners. Then Nyika was recommended to us. This was the best turning point in our wedding. I was able to tell her our budget and vision and she worked her magic! She was available when we needed her, kept us on time with planning and even was able to help me with my last-minute decisions. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and it glows within her work!

Working with Nyika was refreshing! Before being referred to Nyika, I consulted with several wedding coordinators. I was frustrated by the difficulty in getting in touch with many of them, the emails replied to after a week and more, and also repeatedly being told that the coordinator may not be in fact be there on the wedding day, but instead another member of their team.
COMMUNICATION: In contrast, Nyika is VERY easy to get a hold of by phone and on Whatsapp. She makes a point of responding quickly, or telling you when you can expect to hear from her if she is coordinating an event. Her communication is tops. She made herself available for all virtual and in-person meetings (e.g. rehearsal) Her manner is warm, friendly and good-humoured and put me at ease.
DECOR: Nyika has an excellent eye for decor and I appreciated that she worked with me to blend her vision with all the elements that I wanted. I was very happy with the decor at the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The venue was a bit of a challenge with some colours that did not really match with my wedding colours. Nyika used her skills and creativity to transform the venue so that it was beautiful in the end.
STANDARD OF SERVICE: Nyika's presence on my wedding day as well was invaluable. She was there for the entire day with her team, checking in when I was getting ready, there at the ceremony and throughout the reception.
VALUE: Nyika provided a detailed estimate of costs for coordination and decor after our initial consultation, (which some other coordinators were not prepared to do!). I had piece of mind in terms of costs from the very beginning, which helped a great deal. I was impressed at the value for money she offers, especially as she gave me unlimited access to consult with her. She negotiated with vendors on my behalf to ensure I was not being overcharged.
ACCOMMODATION: As I was principally working with Nyika from overseas and not based on Jamaica, I appreciated that Nyika arranged to be available when I was visiting Jamaica. She arranged for me to visit another wedding that she was setting up and to view furniture and decor elements in person, at my request.

I consider that Nyika did a GREAT job and went the extra mile to ensure I and my family were entirely happy and able to enjoy my wedding day. I do not hesitate to recommend Nyika to other Brides-to-be!
