CLIENT LOVE

The wows, smiles, thank you’s and tears of joy at the end of a special celebration are cherished by us. They are the fuel that motivate us to pour more love, passion, excitement and professionalism into all of our work!

Nkiru brought our dream and vision to life! My husband and I always knew we wanted a beautiful intimate wedding especially with the pandemic. We were very happy to find that once we explained our vision to Nkiru, she immediately understood the assignment and wasted no time preparing us for our big day. When the day finally arrived we could put our minds at ease as Nkiru had everything under control with her impeccable attention to detail.

From the outdoor ceremony to the indoor reception, we knew we couldn’t have asked for a better event coordinator and decorator. We would 100% recommend Ona Events to anyone looking for an on-the-ball, creative planner.

Ona Events was our wedding design and partial planning team, as well as our wedding day manager and they were absolutely incredible. We shared our vision, and Nkiru brought it to life with creativity, attention to detail, and so much passion. Her knowledge and experience truly shine through in everything she does. She reminded us that it was our wedding and encouraged us to make it our own within our budget, while also being a supportive sounding board throughout the process.

Thanks to her dedication, our day was not only beautiful but also stress-free. We’re so grateful to Ona Events and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to make their special day even more unforgettable!

  • Ona Events was so professional, timely, caring, and just all around amazing quality work. She set up for us to make the night which transformed from a birthday setting to a proposal setting so seemless and came with a lot of ideas and a great event plan and execution. Solid solid and 💯 percent recommend

  • Working with Ona Events for their client's 3-day conference was a highly positive experience. Their clear communication, meticulous attention to detail, flexibility, and ability to create an engaging conference stood out. From start to finish, they made the process seamless, and when there were last-minute changes, they communicated with everyone involved in a timely manner - ensuring everything ran smoothly and deliverables were on time. They are experts in what they do and are certainly an excellent choice for any corporate client looking to have their event professionally managed.

  • Working with Ona Events, I was able to have the baby shower of my dreams! So grateful that I was able to put the responsibility in their capable hands, and go with the flow. The decor was beautiful, the food was delicious, and they made it easy for me to have some family and friends skype in and feel like a part of the special day. I would definitely work with them again.

  • Nkiru’s communication is among the best (or perhaps the best) of the 100+ vendors I have worked with for my wedding at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. She is organized, visionary, intelligent, responsive, and a truly good person who is well suited to this business. This is evidenced by the fact that even when I told her I was not signing with her (since I ended up hiring a friend), she continued by sending her well wishes for my wedding in a multi-paragraph email. I was SO IMPRESSED by my initial consultation with her and the clarity of her quoting process that I am leaving this 5 star review (and that is saying something since I have not reviewed the majority of vendors I have actually worked with). I can tell that Nkiru is absolutely excellent and a rising star among the best of the business. This review is for you 5 star communication, Nkiru. Thank you for the clarity of your proposal, your professionalism, and your organized, no detail is missed approach. I am so, so impressed.

  • Had an amazing experience working with Nkiru of Ona events for our wedding. Nkiru was our day of coordinator for our diy wedding, she was prepared, on time, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on our busy day including staying late as we needed the extra help! Super grateful for her help and would highly recommend working with Ona Events for your wedding/events :)

  • I was privileged to have Ona Events organise and plan a joint 60th birthday party and 40th wedding anniversary celebration recently. Nkiru was such a delight to work with. She took to the time to ask all of the right questions to ensure she fully understood our plans, colour themes and actives throughout. Her eye and flare for design and decor are amazing and her professionalism exceeded my expectations. During the planning and pre-event months, she kept us all on track with the various things we needed to purchase or organize ourselves to keep within our budget, and the other things we couldn't do, she did for us. Our event was a huge success and we could not have done it without her. Thank you Ona Events!

Ona Events coordinated a beautiful picnic for my 5 year wedding anniversary celebration. Working with Ona Events was a dream. What I appreciated most about their approach was how attentive they were to my hopes and vision for our anniversary picnic.

From the detailed event planning document, to location scouting in advance to identify the perfect spot, the Ona Events team took every step to ensure our event came together beautifully. On the day of the event, I could relax completely, knowing that our special night was in the hands of a thoughtful, detail oriented, and creative professional.

With the help of Ona Events, our anniversary celebration was even more perfect than I could have imagined. I look forward to working with the team on many more future events.

Ona Events was an absolute delight to work with for our engagement event. When we first approached them, we didn't know where to start and were honestly quite nervous, but they were able to quickly put together a proposal, complete with multiple suggestions for my partner and I to consider. We felt completely at ease trusting them with executing the vision that we agreed upon, and ooh my, the final result exceeded all our expectations.

The team was thorough, professional, calm, very well coordinated and present, allowing us to enjoy our day to the fullest. There is nothing about the final outlook that we didn't like from the set-up, décor, food choices and quantities, entertainment options for our guests and all the little extra details. More importantly, we loved that their communication from the beginning was top notch! Ona Event is certainly in our hearts, now and for all our future celebrations.

From my initial conversation with Nkiru about the surprise proposal plan, I could feel that she really wanted to make that moment special for Feruz and I. She carefully listened to my ideas, made awesome suggestions to supplement and improve them, found the perfect venue, and went over and beyond to deliver.

Feruz and I were both equally surprised and super excited by the setup, attention to detail and the beauty that it attracted. And of course, she said YES!!!! I am so happy and extremely grateful for the work you put in to make our day special, Nkiru. You're definitely on our speed dial for any future events (hint: wedding).
