Barbie Fraley has been working with me for 1.5 years and has been involved in helping plan over 20 weddings! Let me introduce to you Barbie:

While studying Fashion Merchandising at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, Barbie planned events and parties at Sweetiepie, a “cocktail in a candy shop” themed restaurant in the heart of Greenwich Village. After moving back to her hometown of Sarasota, she channeled her passion of event planning into the world of wedding planning. A constant crafter,  she recently pulled together her love of renovating, decorating, DIY ideas, and design, to create her new Professional Organizing service, Pretty Organized. Pretty Organized turns messy areas into uniquely organized spaces, focusing on the details of making clients home not only efficient, but pretty too. Having a pure love for history and all things vintage, she loves salvaging though thrift stores finding lost treasures, which can be brought back to life.

Barbie is a very talented designer and recently crafted up a wonderfully unique and detailed baby shower I hosted at my home.  Please see the photos below!

Nicole Kaney, owner of NK Productions, wedding over 11 years of experience in the events and wedding industry. Her professional career started after graduating from the University of Florida when she followed her passion for yoga instruction and opened the Silver Lotus Yoga Studio in Gainesville. That fledgling business quickly grew and the studio frequently held weekend workshops, art openings and lectures.

Nicole’s expertise in wedding planning has been refined through her careers as Marketing & Events Director for Mattison’s Culinary Group and as  the Marketing Director for Sarasota’s Whole Foods Market. Combining her love of event planning and the culinary arts Nicole launched  NK Productions in May of 2007. Using fun, classic and elegant ideas, along with comprehensive industry knowledge, NK Productions tailors their professional expertise their clients’ wants and needs.

Nicole’s mission is to direct every detail of a wedding with creative flair and unparalleled service. NK Productions is committed to understanding the client’s personal vision, and using it to create your dream event – whether intimate and elegant or lively and grand.

Nicole can be seen planning weddings often at the Ritz-Carlton of Sarasota, The Crosley Estate and The Ringling Museum for brides and grooms locally and from all over the US and Europe.

Dear clients & friends,

I am very proud to have launched my new company  {Dream Day Essentials™}.

This project has been a labor of love for my business partner and I.  We are very proud of our products and have created the very best formulas. The launch started with 3 essential products and there are already more in the works. In the beginning, the focus of our brand will be brides. We have big plans for this to become a brand and service that reaches beyond brides in the future. And of course, anyone can take the products.

This new venture is in addition to my current company, NK Productions Wedding Planning, so I will still be coordinating away!

Lastly, we would greatly appreciate your support by sending our website to anyone you think might be interested.  Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

All of the best,

Nicole
