My now husband, Ken and I recently got married at our home in West Hollywood, CA. We had a bad experience with our first wedding planner but were blessed to have discovered Ricki Lewis, of Ricki Lewis Events, who thankfully became our wedding planner extraordinaire! From the moment we hired Ricki, she was hands on all the way from start to finish. Ricki was always available, extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of wedding planning (in our case a gay wedding), professional, creative and always a pleasure to work with. Getting married at our home (with 50 plus attendees) can bring its own unique challenges, but she literally transformed our home into the wedding of our dreams – implementing exactly the design, vibe and look we had imagined and more. Ricki created a fully designed floor plan, to scale, that included intricate details that we would have never thought to include. Further complicating matters, my husband and I reside in Washington, DC most of the year, but Ricki was a lifesaver and took care of so many things that would have made it impossible for us to do being so far away. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Her vendor recommendations and relationships are the best of the best – florist, DJ, photographer, catering, candles (over 300 of them) and more– she made it all seamless. When it comes to last minute issues that inevitably come up, she is on it immediately and miraculously makes it happen (like creating personalized framed specialty drinks signs hours before our wedding, as well as handling countless other last-minute details).
Ken and I are so appreciative of Ricki and her very talented team. They are the absolute best in the business, and she is the reason our wedding was the dream wedding we both experienced. Ricki Lewis Events deserves more than 5 stars, and we recommend Ricki and Ricki Lewis Events without hesitation – you will be in the best of hands! Thank you, Ricki and Team!
Ricki was a force of nature and got lots done for us! I especially appreciated that she went above and beyond her “duties” in any and every way. For example she even shipped all my items to my new home after the wedding! She will go the extra mile in a heartbeat
Ricki procured the amazing ice sculpture artist and the great DJ who played all of our favorite songs.
She did an amazing setup of the flowers and party favors. Ricki Lewis made everything easy.
She is a tremendous help to me in setting up all the flowers and decor. She worked so beautifully to make this event a smashing success!
