Your Wedding Day Resources
Exquisite Events

Nikki was producing special events for nonprofit organizations on a volunteer basis, and was then hired to do events for an event production company. After a year, she started her own company, Exquisite Events, in 2001. She shares, “What I loves most about producing events is working on a blank canvas to transform places into magical spaces.” She feels most successful when her clients walk in and cry with joy when they see their dreams taken beyond their imagination and brought to reality. 

In producing those special days, Nikki finds herself inspired by nature, fashion, color trends, and people. “I am passionate about creating memorable events and my inspiration comes from clients who come to me with no clear-cut vision and trust me implicitly to give them an event that is unparallel in details and execution.”

Nikki says, in fact, it is “Details, Details and Details!” that distinguishes her and Exquisite Events. “I am very particular about staying within the couple’s budget by constantly reprioritizing and making adjustments as we go along.  I also make sure my couples are very comfortable with me since I truly feel they are entrusting us with the most special day of their lives and I hold it very sacred. I also assure my couples that I will be their main contact person starting from the time we book the wedding, leading up to the day of the event.”

These are not the only reasons couples call Nikki and Exquisite Events when it is time to begin making their wedding plans. “Trust!” Nikki says. “Knowing I am going to go above and beyond the call of duty.  Knowing they can call me from 8am to 10pm every single day (except when I am away doing events), and knowing in the end, I will bring their vision into fruition.”

To do so, Exquisite Events offers two wedding packages; one Nikki refers to as “A to Z,” which is all inclusive. “The other one,” she explains, “is where the client has picked a few vendors and needs help with the others.” Her staff also manages day-of-the-event festivities too.

Nikki’s focus with her weddings has been Southern California, mainly the Palm Springs and San Diego areas, but honoring client requests, she is now expanding to other areas including San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Houston. “I would love to expand to all States,” she says, “while continuing producing weddings close by.”

In spite of her great success within producing couples’ dreams, Nikki has never forgotten the important part of her life that brought her to weddings, nonprofits events. Including one recent event staged on a Universal Studios lot to benefit an organization opening schools in remote areas of Pakistan, Nikki made sure guests, including numerous members of the United Nations, enjoyed themselves by presenting a couture fashion show from famous Pakistani Designer, a Silent and Live Auction, and a musical event, ‘Rock the Casbah.’  “But most importantly,” Nikki says, “at the end of the evening, we were able to raise a lot of money.” She adds, “I definitely feel every minute, hour, day, week, and month that was spent on the project was well worth it.”

Nikki feels the same way about your wedding. “I realize how lucky I am to be in this business and how much I love it and how worthwhile it is to give someone a day that they will never forget.”

Tips
  • #31 FLORAL DECOR
    No wedding is complete without flowers. Try updating the traditional centerpiece by using masses of your favorite flowers in a variety of complementary tones for added texture and interest. For instance, if your bloom-of-choice is the gerbera daisy, try one centerpiece with dozens of red gerberas, another with orange, and another with fuchsia-colored bunches. Let your imagination run wild!

  • #21 LA FLEUR TABLE
    Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!

  • #16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
    Reception spaces are taking on a comfort theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry ambiance.  Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers!  You can also use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!
