    We cannot recommend Ricki Lewis Events enough! Ricki planned our wedding at Hummingbird Ranch, and the entire experience was so great. From the very beginning, Ricki’s communication was exceptional. She was always available to answer our questions, provide updates, and ease our concerns. Her creative ideas brought our vision to life. The attention to detail, from the floral arrangements to the layout of the space, was elegant. She really took the time to understand what we wanted and incorporated personalized touches that made our day so special. We received so many compliments on how smoothly everything ran. Thank you, Ricki, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! Jesse and Chloe

    Special Event Genie was a pleasure to work with as the wedding planner for our couples special day. They kept us in the loop every step of the way with their exceptional communication style. As a very detail-oriented team, they ensured all of our couples expectations were met and seamlessly coordinated with all of the vendors kept informed of the timeline and requirements. As a caterer and beverage service provider, we appreciated their collaborative approach, providing us with the detailed timeline well in advance to ensure we had everything we needed to execute our services flawlessly. On the day of the event, Ricki provided us with timely cues for setting up, starting cocktail service, dinner, coffee and dessert. I would highly recommend Special Event Genie to any couple looking for a quality event planner.
