"Dear Jonnell + Niki,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The day Sandy and Robert joined as one you two were a true godsend! You kept the day so well organized, it was amazing. The details, decor, oh, and our timeline... You pulled it all together and gave us the most beautiful day ever. The two of you are so helpful, I now know - I could not have done this alone. From start to finish, with me around me - thank you! With your services we were able to completely enjoy the whole day from start to finish. Our guest were and still are in awe - many compliments!"

"Katherine and Matt told us their wedding was "all we had hoped for and more." That is all any parent wants to hear! Thank you both, from the bottom of our hearts for making their wedding dreams come true. We enjoyed each moment and loved everything. We can't begin to imagine this very special event without your many efforts, expertise, support, and thoughtfulness. You two anticipated our every need and your help was very much appreciated. Many, many thanks!"

"Niki and Jonnell are amazing! My husband and I had a number of unusual requests for our non-traditional wedding; no matter what we threw at them, they absolutely tackled it with patience, grace, and style. They perfectly handled family politics, adapted to our evolving visions for the wedding, and still managed to keep everything perfectly coordinated. We had a wedding that was more perfectly "us" than we even could have imagined thanks to Niki and Jonnell's coordination and leadership. We can't thank them enough!"

"Niki and Jonnell were totally professional and made our wedding day flawless and worry-free. I can honestly say that I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding, they handled everything! I was on the fence in the beginning about whether or not hiring a coordinator was necessary or even if it fit my budget, but at the end of the day, I cannot imagine not having them there! Thank you both sooo much! :)"

I wasn't sure she needed to spend the money on your services, but as I came to discover it was money well spent. I will be sure to tell anyone I know how valuable both of you were. Thanks again!"

September 11, 2009 Leslie + Jeff

Leslie and Jeff are married! I don't think it could have been any more beautiful at Eberle Winery than it was during their intimate ceremony. It was truly "God's light" shining behind them as they said their vows! Ely Roberts and Christan P photography captured the evening beautifully. Along with their assistant, there were 3 photographers for a 30-person wedding...talk about paparrazi!
Leslie, Jeff and their close friends and family enjoyed a FEAST prepared by the always scrumptious Trumpetvine Catering in the Eberle caves. Um...chocolate french toast for dessert? Yes, please!
Congratulations you two!

Applause! June 20 Wedding

"PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS, ORGANIZED, STRAIGHT-FORWARD, STRONG! My experience as the "mother-of-the-bride" was delightful due to Jonnell and Niki! I thoroughly enjoyed my daughters wedding because I was able to turn EVERYTHING over to them the morning of Rehearsal, which was very hard for me to do because I'm a control freak! But they handled everything to a T!!! I look back at pictures of my daughter and myself the day of rehearsal and the day of the wedding and we're both smiling and laughing in all the pictures.......because we didn't have any pressures to do ANYTHING!!! Niki and Jonnell are amazing! They took care of everything with ease, dealt with all the vendors, made sure the wedding ran smooth, made sure the reception ran smooth and returned all the extra favors, the champagne flutes, extra matches and napkins, groomsmens' tux coats, disposable cameras...everything back to my husband and my room after the event at midnight! A true deal.....I would have paid twice as much for them!!! Worth every penny!"

London

Jonnell and I have returned from London, and I can't wait to go back!

Tower Bridge

We spent our days walking around and discovering the city, eating fabulous food (English pub, Indian, you name it!), and shopping. We visited Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Big Ben, Parliament, Piccadilly Circus, Notting Hill, Oxford Circus...it seems like we "saw it all" but we know there is so much more to experience, on a longer trip!

Big Ben

We enjoyed the theatre twice as well; Wicked and Billy Elliott. Both shows were amazing and completely different from each other.
We also had a great time dancing up a storm at Funky Buddha- an awesome club right near our hotel.
Here are a few more photos of our adventure!

Applause! April 25 Wedding

"Events Redefined made our wedding possible! We were struggling with trying to find a venue - most places wouldn't return our phone calls or were too expensive. After one meeting with Niki & Jonnell they knew exactly what we wanted and found a venue that exceeded our expectations. The rest of our wedding planning was the same way! We couldn't be happier with their service, professionalism or organizational skills. Don't know how they do it - but they made our dreams come true.We would (and will) recommend them to anyone!"

April 25, 2009 Jill + Jay

The perfect pair. When Jonnell and I met with Jay and Jill for the first time, we couldn't wait to begin helping plan their wedding. Their relationship is so sweet and simple; exactly how they wanted their day to be.
When Jill described her ideal bouquet of fresh herbs and wildflowers, with a Love Bird theme throughout, we immediately knew that Manzanita Designs was the florist for them! Lawren created adorable birds nest centerpieces, pomander balls and curly willow trees. Jill's mom even handmade fuzzy little birds to hang from the trees!
The ceremony and reception were both held at Holland Ranch in San Luis Obispo. Their day was perfect, despite the wind, and both Jay and Jill were troopers during their photos with Daniel Wilson.

Jill gave the most heartfelt speech we've ever seen a Bride give- we were so honored to help them plan their wedding and wish them both the best of luck!

Amy Wellenkamp, an awesome wedding photographer who we have been fortunate to work with (and look forward to working with her again this June!) posted this on her site:

"Event coordination at it's finest. Jonnell and Niki are a wonderful calming presence for your wedding or event. From amazing ideas for each detail to a true support team for you as you plan and host your event, they are amazing. Jonnell and Niki not only make sure all of your plans take place for your day, but with grace and style. They truly take care of every need."

Amy, thank you so much! You are a pleasure to work with! Not only do you have a warm and inviting personality, but the quality of your photos are amazing. We will continue to recommend you to clients and look forward to more weddings together!

2009 Spring Bridal Fair

Today was Central Coast Bride's Spectacular Spring Bridal Show at the Madonna Expo Center!

We collaborated with Lawren on our modern "Urban Jungle Lounge." She created some beautiful bouquets and arrangements, and even tried her hand at floral sushi- which was a hit.

We debuted Unlimited Events' new lounge furniture, along with navy blue and cranberry satin linens.

The Expo Center was packed with newly engaged couples planning their big day. We look forward to meeting with them soon!

Jonnell and I had a blast visiting with fellow wedding vendors and checking out everyone's booths. It was a great day- and now it's time to put our feet up and relax!

Lots to look forward to!

This weekend is Central Coast Bride's Spectacular Spring Show at the Madonna Expo Center! We are partnering with Lawren from Manzanita again...because we love her style! We can't wait to debut some great lounge furniture from Unlimited Events, too. Pictures will be posted in the next couple of days...

Also, we are almost done updating our website! Post to follow soon!

"Niki and Jonnell are saints. I'm a Type A person and I can honestly say that I never found myself worrying (or even thinking) about a single detail my entire wedding day. Everyone kept telling me to 'savor it, it goes by fast.' I was able to savor it and cherish so many moments because of Events Redefined's efforts to make this such a perfect day for us. Events Redefined goes above and beyond."

London, England...Here We Come!

**Exciting News Alert**

Jonnell and I just booked a 6 day trip in May to London! It is her favorite city- she lived there for a few months in college and has visited a couple times since...so I'll have an experienced tour guide for my first trip to England!

That's all...just pretty darn excited. :)

March 14, 2009 Kym + Brent

Jonnell and I just completed our first wedding of the season!

Kym and Brent were married this past Saturday at the Shore Cliff Lodge. Fortunately, they had perfect weather for their mid-March wedding and we were all glad that the sun was shining and the forecast moved rain to next weekend.

This group knew how to party; sipping on signature cocktails- The H.A.L.F, while boogying on the dance floor! The night ended with Kym and her friends seronading the remaining guests karaoke-style and a final round of Jeopardy.

We hope you two are having a blast in Aruba!

Valentine's Day Bridal Show

Jonnell and I had a tabletop display at this weekend's Sweetheart Stroll Bridal Show at the Carlton in Atascadero. Lots of newly engaged couples braved the rain to taste goodies from local caterers and check out a sampling of wedding vendors. We felt very honored to be a part of this small group of professionals!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
