The Best Wedding Investment

If you want peace of mind on your wedding day, I HIGHLY recommend hiring LyKai. I hired her as a day of coordinator and to my surprise, she helped keep us organized and on track months leading up to the wedding. She’s SO experienced and good at what she does, there was many times she mentioned things I needed that I totally wouldn’t have thought of on my own. She is 10000% worth hiring. Definitely the best investment in our big day. My husband (oo husband hehe) and I look back and realize we should have hired her as a PLANNER because she is so amazing and we trust she would’ve taken so much off of our plate. I will recommend her to all of my friends and family members to at LEAST hire her as a day of if you can’t as a planner. You won’t regret it!

Best choice I made!

I knew LyKai was the right fit for my wedding from the moment we had our initial phone call. She is professional beyond belief and helped to traverse every obstacle the planning process through our way while keeping my budget in mind. She had creative solutions and outstanding vendor relationships that made my wedding the fairytale I’d never realized I could have. You get to learn a lot about someone after working with them for a whole year, and I can confidently say looking back on this process that partnering with the LyKai was the best thing I did!

Made Our Special Day Perfect!

My husband and I got married November 3rd at Hilton Garden Inn in Carlsbad. When we chose the venue, the hotel recommended Moments Remembered, as they had a good working relationship with the coordinators. From the moment I met LyKai Johnson, she was a breeze to work with. I was initially planning this wedding myself since my husband was deployed overseas the first half of the year. I've never planned a wedding before and I am not much of a planner already, so she helped me with so many things- from decorations and flowers, to where to order our cake, and other things you could easily forget about or overlook! Thanks to LyKai, I was not stressed this entire time and actually enjoyed the process. LyKai and her team are extremely organized and she reached out to all our vendors and made a perfect timeline. The day of our wedding could not have gone any better. It's rare to hear that there were no hiccups or issues during a wedding. But if there were any in mine, I certainly did not notice. Elicia and her partner were with us day of and they were on it, working well with the hotel coordinator. They picked up and set up all our decorations and even packed them up at the end of the night, returning them to our room. This team even had a wedding kit ready with little gifts, toiletries, kits, and other things you may need day of- how cool and thoughtful is that! There was not a single thing I had to worry about the whole day thanks to this team. We are so blessed to have been able to work with such an amazing team. I highly recommend! It is so worth working with them so you can enjoy your special day stress free!
