“Nili came highly recommended to me via Young Presidents Organization (YPO) and after working closely with her I would highly recommend Nili. She has great taste, terrific attention to detail, and she is quite adept at visualizing the ideal flow of an event to maximize the interaction and enjoyment of the guests. She cares greatly about her clients and is very responsive to their needs. She is able to take a lot of pressure off anyone hosting an event for which they want flawless execution and a beautiful, memorable experience.”

“After interviewing about 20 wedding planners, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with Nili on my wedding. She made the process a lot of fun and was sure to keep my husband and me on track so that a week before the wedding every detail was done and all we got to do was enjoy! She went above and beyond to make sure the event was perfect and ran smoothly. We had the best weekend of our lives and there isn’t one thing I would have changed! All of our friends and family are still talking about it! Her insights from running countless events in the past are truly invaluable. Beyond everything, Nili is an amazing creative.

She has unique, fresh ideas and great style. She doesn’t look at what everyone else is doing but looks at how things can be done differently and creatively. Every vendor I hired mentioned how easy and great it was to work with Nili. This was very important and ultimately led to perfect execution at the event. Above all, Nili is a wonderful person with a big heart. She is incredibly talented and really cares about her clients. I hope I will have the opportunity to work with her again on another event in the future!”

“I highly recommend Nili Stevens for anyone looking for a top notch event planner. She executed an absolutely amazing job on my New Years Eve/Birthday party. From the moment I met her I knew she would handle every detail and take everything to the next level and she not only met, but exceeded my expectations beyond what I could have imagined. Her coordination of all the vendors was superb and I had to do nothing but enjoy my special evening with all my guests. I rarely give recommendations because my friends and acquaintances know how discerning I am but I will gladly recommend Nili to anyone looking for an event planner because she is simply the best.”

“I had the best experience with Nili planning my wedding! I had seen her plan my sister’s wedding 8 years ago and knew that when I got married there would be no one else I would rather use. Nili’s attention to detail, unique (amazing) ideas and professionalism are beyond compare. Her relationship and coordination with vendors made the whole planning process stress free for me. I knew I was in good hands right from the start because her goal is to make everything 100% perfect. She truly did. My wedding was so beautiful and everything went seamlessly. I highly recommend using Nili! ”

“I have been to several events (YPO retreat, SEC Corporate Galas, Seaside Brunches, etc) that Nili has planned and simply said, they are amazing. Every detail is thought-through for each guest which provides an experience unlike any other. From the moment the invite is sent out, you feel a high level of personalization and warmth. During the event, from the food, decor and gift bags, I have been constantly blown away and impressed. I would highly recommend hiring Nili to plan any even...trust me, you and your guests will be happy you did!”

“Nili Stevens brought a level of execution that greatly exceeded my expectations. She is very plugged-in to the scene in Orange County and has a great network of vendors who operate with only the highest level of commitment and attention to detail. Nili’s greatest attribute is that she brings a perfect balance of pragmatism and understanding that she’s dealing with people (specifically brides-to-be who may sometimes be emotion-driven decision makers) to her approach as a wedding planner. What’s more is that Nili worked with my wife and me across the country, as at the time we were preparing for our wedding, we resided in New York City. Nili was great about keeping a very detailed list of things to do and making sure that everyone was moving in the right direction. We were definitely concerned that things might slip through the cracks, but Nili made sure we communicated as necessary to stay on track. The bottom line is that Nili brings a results-driven, heads-down work ethic to every challenge.

She puts the bridal couple at ease and ensures that everything is setup to yield a wonderful day that they will remember forever. What sets Nili apart from others is that beyond what is necessary, she brings her wonderful personality and sense of care to everything she does - she was an absolute joy to work with.”

“As my Director of Sales for over 18 years, Nili was responsible for all Rancho Las Lomas special events and wedding planning. This position required her to be accountable for all logistics and operations, all vendor bids and contracts, and coordination of staff management, all of which she did extraordinarily well. Nili is a very organized and creative individual. Her dynamic personality, her style and curiosity and her meticulous attention to detail made her an indefinable asset for many years. All who worked with Nili at Rancho Las Lomas all express their good fortune by having worked with such a bright and true professional.”

“Nili is an amazing wedding planner. From the moment we started working together, she understood exactly what I wanted and made it her mission to pull together my dream wedding on my budget. She has great contacts with vendors, and guided me through the entire process of choosing my save the dates, invitations, flowers, desserts, bridesmaids dresses, makeup and hair artists, photographer, and any and everything else I had questions about. She had wonderful, creative, original ideas about everything, and made sure she gave me tons of options and opinions about how to take my vision and push it to make my wedding feel unique and special. On the day of my wedding, I didn’t have a worry in the world because I felt so taken care of. Nili had made sure everything was completed and ready to go, so there were no last-minute crises to deal with.

The whole day went perfectly, thanks to Nili’s detailed day-of schedule, and I was able to relax and actually enjoy the wedding. When I walked into the reception, I could hardly believe that all the beautiful flowers, place settings, cakes, and other details were for my wedding. It was beyond gorgeous. It was everything I had hoped for, but better. I’ll remember it forever. I couldn’t be happier with Nili’s work. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a hands-on, expert, dedicated wedding or party planner. She will amaze you.”

“Nili is a brilliant professional planner. Her creativity and attention to detail is spot on. I love working with her....she is truly inspiring!”
