Nikilett
With a long time passion for event planning, I got my start in 2018 when I switched career paths from the healthcare industry to the wedding industry. I began working weekends as a day-of coordinator’s assistant for local and out-of-state weddings while weekdays consisted of training courses to become “International Event & Wedding Professional” certified. Soon after, I was working full time as a wedding specialist at venues across the Chicagoland suburbs. I understand the process of being a bride and the crucial components of how wedding venues operate behind the scenes. Let’s get together and plan your wedding to perfection, I cannot wait to be part of your happily ever after!
