Ricki did an AMAZING job with planning my event. She only had 30 days to make her magic happen for my Holiday/5th Company Anniversary, but she made it happen. I am so glad that I hired her, and I will definitely be using her in the future for any of my special event needs. This company is the Bomb.COM and I highly recommend using their services for any of your special event needs. Thanks again Ricki, you are a true-life savior. Respectfully, Le Blanc with GXL Moving Company.

Ricki and her team did a great job with our daughters recent baby shower. Ricki was extremely responsive and thoughtful throughout the months of planning. There was no tasks that was either too big or too small for her team and the day turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We received numerous compliments from our friends and family about how wonderful the event turned out and we attribute that to Ricki and her fabulous team. Ricki will definitely be the go to for our next event and we highly recommend her team to anyone for theirs, as she truly is a "Special Event Genie."

I hired Ricki, my Special Event Genie, to work her magic (and dedicated hard work) on my 70th Birthday Party. Every detail was absolutely perfect. Ricki kept in touch with me by phone, text and in person meetings from the day I hired her, came to my event hours early and stayed late to manage clean up. She knew every aspect of party planning from table position and centerpieces that maintain a theme to creative displays to timelines — All of my guests enjoyed interacting with her and everyone had a good time.

I have planned birthdays for many years, and this time, I needed someone to take over so I can finally enjoy my daughter's 7th birthday. For someone as meticulous as me, It's hard to find someone who I can fully trust. When I met Ricki, I knew she was the one. The love and passion she has catering service for Client is beyond. Ricki loves to ensure that clients are well taken care of as soon as she steps in. She is well organized, on track, and knows what follow through means. We are grateful for having you in our event, I was able to enjoy my time and savor every detail of the party because someone like you were there to take care of things. I am happy to gain a friend in you and much more, thank you for taking care of my daughter’s party. There is a saying that “the only way to do great work is to love what you do” – You are an epitome of that quote in all aspect. You are highly recommended and I will definitely use your service again and again and again. More blessings to come to you and your business.

Ricki negotiated her price once we discussed I was only doing a reception and not a wedding ceremony. I didn't give her much time to plan the event, but she showed us multiple venues and we were very happy with our selection. Ricki also did her best to help us stay on budget, she found flowers for an amazing deal, she brought decorations from her house, and she with the sudden weather change she got sun umbrellas in the nick-of-time. She really worked her tail off! It was a great reception, exactly what my husband and I wanted.

Janelle, we strive to make sure our clients stay in their budget and get the most they can with that budget. Thank you for choosing us to plan your reception! Best wishes always!
