About SantanaRain

SantanaRain

Owner, Director of Events

Personally, my husband and I have been married for a little over 20 years. I am a mother of 2 beautiful teenage daughters. I am also a lover of scrapbooks, holiday traditions, photography, PSL, Pinterest and wine. Organizationally, I like to check in with all of my clients each week on Tuesdays. This helps us all stay organized and makes sure tasks do not sneak up on us. I find joy in bringing their vision to life. Making you feel comfortable and taken care of during a party is my love language.

Professionally, I am able to watch over the broad strokes of an event, while keeping the details at the forefront of the design vision. My team and I will: be the calm voice in your room, run your event with joy and kindness, and provide an environment where you are having a good time, instead of being pulled away from your guests to handle logistics.

In three words: Fun, Supportive, Thoughtful

    The Best Coordinator Ever!

    Nickie and the SantanaRain Team made our daughter and son-in-laws wedding day so stress free, even with the event being held out of state! She is an amazing person and is so great at her job! Her communication, organization skills and her naturally sweet and friendly personality are so hard to find all wrapped up in one person! Yet, here she is! Nickie has beautiful charm & class! Her professionalism and the quality of her work are truly unmatched. We highly recommend using SantanaRain for your next event! We were so blessed having her help over the past year planning the wedding.

    Wedding Day of Coordinator

    Working with SantanaRain made planning our wedding so much easier than we expected. From our first conversation, they were quick to respond to our questions and genuinely helpful as we figured out all the details. On the day of the wedding, their reliable approach really showed—everything went according to plan and the day ran smoothly from start to finish. We felt confident throughout the entire process knowing they had everything under control. SantanaRain's strong work ethic and attention to detail made our special day exactly what we wanted it to be. We'd recommend them to any couple looking for a planner who actually delivers.

    Nickie and her team were SO amazing!!!

    From day one, Nickie at SantanaRain made wedding planning feel exciting instead of overwhelming. She checked in on me every Tuesday and met with me whenever I needed to talk through my nerves or work through the details, which meant so much. Nickie's calm and positive energy kept me stress-free the entire time leading up to the big day. On wedding day, her team went above and beyond—when I realized I forgot my veil at home, they hand-made me one for photos without hesitation. Nickie and her team truly brought my vision to life and made me feel special and taken care of from start to finish. I can't imagine planning a wedding without her!

    My Favorite Vendor of the Year

    If you want a planner who treats you like family, a friend you’ve known forever, or just cares about your wedding as much as you do? Then hire SantanaRain! From our first meeting, we knew we wanted to go with Nickie! We spoke several times a month over the 14 months I was engaged. She quickly became part of the family. I got married in Southern Indiana, while living in Pennsylvania and she made it so unstressful the whole time. The day of the wedding, I didn’t have a bridal party, but I also didn’t need one with Nickie’s team. My dress got fluffed the entire day during photos and ceremony. Something wasn’t going right with the crinoline and they were there to fix it. My caterer showed up 3 hours late, they kept me calm and they quickly found solutions. They never felt like a vendor, instead they truly were like family. When I say you are hiring the best of the best, I truly mean it with the sweetest team ever!
