Of one thing I’m sure: our product launch event would never have come together so seamlessly without Special Event Genie. For business owners like us, juggling daily operations while planning a major event can be overwhelming. What seems simple at first quickly turns into a maze of logistics, decor, entertainment, and countless last-minute details. From our very first meeting, the Special Event Genie team understood our vision perfectly. They guided us through every step, including venue selection, vendor coordination, creative design, and guest experience. They listened closely to our goals and brand identity and added their own inventive touch. On the day of the event, they were already prepared with thoughtful solutions, such as offering branded items and extra supplies. Every detail reflected our company’s image and professionalism. Special Event Genie not only saved us time and stress, they also helped us stay on budget through their excellent vendor relationships. The result was a polished, memorable event that showcased our brand with clarity and impact. We could not have asked for better partners and highly recommend them to any company seeking a flawlessly organized and one-of-a-kind event.

I recently worked with Special Event Genie to plan a celebration of life for my beloved daughter. From the very beginning, Ricki was kind, patient, and understanding of what a difficult time this was for me. She truly listened to what I wanted — a simple, meaningful gathering that reflected my daughter’s favorite things and especially, love of the Dodgers Baseball Team. Ricki and her team handled every detail with such care. They designed a beautiful event in Dodger blue, creatively placing my daughter’s Dodger bobbleheads that everyone loved. They arranged all the rentals, catering, ice cream scoopers, bartender, and servers, and made sure everything ran smoothly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing — they brought everything to me so I could simply be present with neighbors, family and friends. The day was perfect in every way and truly honored my daughter’s memory. I am deeply grateful for Ricki’s compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail. She made a very emotional day so much easier, and I will always appreciate what she did for us. Christy, Grateful Mother
Special Event Genie's reply
Christy, it was truly an honor to help you create a celebration that reflected your daughter’s spirit and love of the Dodgers. We wanted every detail to feel personal and heartfelt — from the Dodger blue touches to the bobblehead displays that brought smiles to everyone who attended. Thank you for trusting us during such an emotional time and allowing us to help you focus on being present with your loved ones. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’ll always remember this day with warmth and gratitude. — Ricki Lewis & the Special Event Genie Team

Ricki did an AMAZING job with planning my event. She only had 30 days to make her magic happen for my Holiday/5th Company Anniversary, but she made it happen. I am so glad that I hired her, and I will definitely be using her in the future for any of my special event needs. This company is the Bomb.COM and I highly recommend using their services for any of your special event needs. Thanks again Ricki, you are a true-life savior. Respectfully, Le Blanc with GXL Moving Company.

We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to collaborate again on your next celebration! — Ricki Lewis & the Special Event Genie Team

Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Ricki, my Special Event Genie, to work her magic (and dedicated hard work) on my 70th Birthday Party. Every detail was absolutely perfect. Ricki kept in touch with me by phone, text and in person meetings from the day I hired her, came to my event hours early and stayed late to manage clean up. She knew every aspect of party planning from table position and centerpieces that maintain a theme to creative displays to timelines — All of my guests enjoyed interacting with her and everyone had a good time.
Special Event Genie's reply
Patricia, we appreciate the great review! We strive for perfection and know how important even the smallest detail is. Thank you for choosing us to make your 70th birthday, a special event! And we appreciate your continued interest in our services. We are on board to plan your husband's birthday, hopefully soon!
