    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!

    The best wedding planner! Ricki of Special Event Genie is not only an amazing talented professional, she’s also such a kind person. She went above and beyond to make our wedding special, especially considering we were planning from out of state! She helped us find an incredible venue and all of our vendors (who were also super talented and professional) within our budget and aligned with our style. We are so grateful to Ricki for helping us plan an incredible wedding!
