Nakia here from Madison Events — my job is simple: to make your wedding day all about you. Your celebration deserves nothing less than perfection. As your Day-of Coordinator, I ensure every element — from vendor timing to guest experience — unfolds with sophistication and precision. My work begins well before you walk down the aisle, overseeing every fine detail, managing the flow, and curating an atmosphere of calm elegance behind the scenes. With a refined eye for design and seamless execution, I’ll transform your vision into an experience that feels effortless, elevated, and unforgettable.

With over 25 years in the event industry, I’ve had the privilege of coordinating and designing high-profile celebrations that demand precision, creativity, and grace under pressure. That experience allows me to bring a refined, detail-driven approach to every wedding I manage. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand affair, my goal is the same — to create a seamless, sophisticated experience that feels effortless and unforgettable.

    Amazing

    Working with Madisonevents by Nakia was such a great choice for our wedding. From start to finish, Nakia kept us in the loop and had everything organized so we never felt stressed or confused. She truly brought our vision to life and made it even better than we imagined. On the day of our wedding, she had the reception completely set up before we arrived, made sure our guests were seated and comfortable, and even had drinks ready for us when we walked in. The level of detail and care she put into our day was incredible. We would absolutely recommend Nakia to any couple looking for a planner who will handle everything with professionalism and make their wedding day feel effortless.

I’ve been planning for over 20 years, and I still get excited for every single one! I’ve worked on everything from cozy backyard ceremonies to big, elegant ballroom weddings, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of styles and settings.
Yes! I can help you plan a wide range of events beyond weddings — including bridal showers, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, milestone birthdays, corporate gatherings, and more.
One of my greatest strengths as a wedding planner is my ability to create celebrations that honor a couple’s culture, traditions, and personal history. I take the time to learn about your background and the elements that are meaningful to you—whether it’s a religious ceremony, a family custom, or simply a style that reflects your heritage. I love weaving cultural details into the event, such as traditional music, attire, décor, or symbolic rituals, so your wedding feels deeply personal and connected to your roots.
“The amount of time we spend together really depends on the level of support you’d like. Some couples just need a few key meetings and check-ins, while others prefer me to be more hands-on throughout the entire process. Typically, we’ll meet for an initial consultation, have regular planning sessions (monthly or biweekly depending on your timeline), and then spend the full day together on your wedding day to ensure everything runs smoothly.”
With over 20 years in the event industry — from catering and venue management to full-service planning — I bring a 360° perspective to every event I design. My catering background gives me a deep understanding of timing, logistics, and the guest experience, so I can anticipate challenges and keep everything running smoothly. What truly sets me apart is how I blend creativity with meaning — weaving in cultural traditions, family history, and personal touches that make each celebration unique. Whether it’s honoring heritage, incorporating special rituals, or creating a modern twist on tradition, I make sure every event feels like yours.
