At the heart of Prestige Event Design is Kady Traore Nignan, a wedding planner who brings nearly a decade of experience in transforming love stories into breathtaking events. With a warm smile and a vision for beauty, Kady describes what drives her as a planner: "I have always loved creating beautiful spaces and bringing people together," she shares, her excitement shining through. "Wedding planning allows me to combine my passion for design with the joy of celebrating love, making each event a truly unique and memorable experience for couples." From the very start, it’s clear that for Kady, this profession is not just a job—it’s a calling.
There’s one part of Kady’s job that she cherishes above all else—the moment when a couple steps into their wedding reception for the first time. That unforgettable reveal moment, she explains, is what makes all the planning, designing, and perfecting worth it. "Knowing that I helped create a day they will cherish forever is incredibly rewarding," she adds, reflecting on the joy of creating moments that will be remembered for a lifetime.
For Kady, each wedding is an opportunity to make dreams come alive. Her approach is rooted in both artistic intuition and meticulous planning, giving every couple she works with a celebration they’ll cherish forever. And she’s hands-on, with every detail, every flower, and every moment planned to perfection.
Prestige Event Design offers two exclusive packages, each tailored to meet couples’ unique needs. The company has crafted these options based on years of experience, allowing couples to choose between a comprehensive, full-service experience or a refined, design-focused package.
The Full-Service Wedding Planning package is designed for couples who want every detail handled with precision and care. “It includes custom budget creation, venue selection, vendor matchmaking, a design consultation, and full event management and coordination. This package allows couples to enjoy a seamless planning experience, knowing every aspect is carefully managed to bring their vision to life,” the team explains. This package is more than just planning; it’s about creating an experience that’s seamless from start to finish.
For couples who already have a venue but dream of transforming it into an unforgettable setting, Prestige Event Design offers the Design, Decor & Management package. “This package includes a personalized design consultation, a complete design concept (including florals and decor), full decor setup, and event management to oversee vendor coordination. It’s an excellent choice for those focused on transforming their chosen venue into a stunning, memorable space,” they add.
In addition to the two main packages, Prestige Event Design offers a range of additional design and decor services. This includes creating a cohesive design concept tailored to each couple’s style, managing decor setup, and coordinating floral arrangements. These options are perfect for couples looking to add an expert touch to their day without managing the details themselves.
With a calm, collected approach, the team explains, "Our design service is perfect for couples who already have a venue but want an expert to bring their vision to life through decor, floral arrangements, and ambiance." For Prestige Event Design, it’s all about combining planning and design to ensure that every detail aligns with the couple’s vision, creating an event that feels authentic and personal.
Prestige Event Design has experience working across a diverse range of venues, from grand ballrooms and luxury hotels to private estates and intimate garden settings. "This flexibility allows us to adapt our design and planning services to perfectly complement each unique space, ensuring every event reflects the couple’s vision and the venue’s character," the team says.
One of the hallmarks of Prestige Event Design’s approach is its personalized and collaborative planning process. Each wedding is a journey taken together with the couple, tailored to their unique story. Kady and her team begin by learning about the couple’s style, preferences, and priorities. From there, they create a clear timeline and budget, guiding each couple through every decision—from vendor selection to decor choices.
“Our planning process is highly collaborative and tailored to each couple’s vision,” they say. “We begin by discussing the couple’s style, preferences, and priorities, followed by setting a clear timeline and budget. We guide couples through each decision, from selecting vendors to designing the decor. Regular check-ins ensure everyone stays on track, and we handle all logistics, allowing the couple to enjoy the planning journey stress-free.” This meticulous approach ensures that every step aligns with the couple’s vision, leaving them with a beautifully orchestrated event that feels personal and true.
Kady’s years of experience have given her valuable insights, which she shares openly with couples. When it comes to vendor contracts, her advice is clear: "My main advice is to review every detail carefully, especially regarding payment schedules, cancellation policies, and service inclusions. It’s important to clarify any uncertainties upfront," she advises. This attention to detail is part of what makes Prestige Event Design a trusted choice for couples who want peace of mind on their big day.
When it comes to outdoor weddings, Kady has another piece of essential advice: "For outdoor ceremonies, my main advice is to always have an alternative location, such as an indoor space or a tent, ready in case of rain. For receptions, consider choosing a venue with both indoor and outdoor options so you can quickly transition if needed. Work with your vendors to ensure any decor, seating, or floral arrangements can be easily moved to the backup location." Her practical approach and foresight help couples feel secure, knowing they have contingency plans for any situation.
Prestige Event Design prioritizes financial transparency and budget-conscious planning. The team’s advice for couples looking to stay within budget is straightforward: "Our main advice is to establish a clear budget early on, allocate funds to the most important elements, and resist the urge to add extras last minute. We work closely with couples to ensure each decision aligns with both their vision and budget," they suggest. By offering guidance at each step, Kady and her team ensure that couples’ visions align with their budgets, making every decision intentional and thoughtful.
Creating a wedding timeline requires a fine balance between structure and flexibility. As Kady advises, "When creating a timeline, it’s crucial to leave room for flexibility and to account for transitions between moments. My main advice is to add some extra time to the schedule especially before the ceremony or reception." With this careful approach, Prestige Event Design ensures every wedding flows smoothly, with each moment given the attention it deserves.
As someone who has witnessed countless weddings, Kady has one final piece of advice for every couple: "Taking intentional moments to pause with each other, your loved ones and the decor around you will make the day feel even more special. Remember, your wedding is not only a celebration but also a collection of cherished memories that you will look back on for years to come." For Kady, these pauses aren’t just about slowing down—they’re about creating memories that will last a lifetime. “Avoid getting overwhelmed by trends or outside opinions. Focus on a vision that represents your love story, and choose vendors who understand that vision and can bring it to life beautifully. Remember that the planning process should be enjoyable and a time to create meaningful memories.”
Under Kady’s leadership, Prestige Event Design goes beyond simply planning weddings; it’s about curating moments that couples will treasure forever. Whether transforming a luxurious ballroom or creating magic in an intimate garden, each event is a thoughtfully designed experience that captures the essence of love, beauty, and joy. Through their dedication, creativity, and personalized approach, Prestige Event Design make dreams come to life—one celebration at a time.
