The Vision Behind Saskatoon Party Planner.

Owner of Saskatoon Party Planner, event décor was never just about aesthetics it was deeply personal. “When clients saw their decorated space and said, ‘Wow, beautiful,’ that moment stayed with me,” she recalled. “It was about being part of their lifelong memories.”
Originally from India, Nikita moved to Canada in 2011, first settling in Ontario before making Saskatoon her home. What started as a creative outlet decorating for her son’s birthday and her own baby shower soon grew into a thriving business. By the time she launched Saskatoon Party Planner in 2018, she had already developed a passion for turning celebrations into unforgettable experiences. Since then, she had planned and decorated more than 300 events.
Saskatoon Party Planner became known for creating customized experiences that highlighted cultural diversity. Nikita styled events for clients from India, Pakistan, Ethiopia, the Philippines, Nepal, and Canada, bringing her vibrant South Asian flair to every setup. “Everyone had different tastes,” she explained. “My goal was always to blend their vision with my creativity and cultural insight.”
Her attention to detail and dedication to client satisfaction set her apart. “I didn’t focus on the cost; I focused on the dream,” she said. That principle shone when she designed a South African-inspired décor for the Diversity Gala earlier that year a completely new cultural theme for her. “It was my biggest challenge,” she remembered, “but when over 500 guests loved what I had created, I knew I had done something right.”
Alongside running her décor business, Nikita balanced a full-time role as a wealth specialist and the demands of motherhood. “I had a seven-year-old and a one-year-old, yet I was back on-site decorating just a month after my daughter was born,” she shared. “If you had a dream, you had to keep going.”
She credited the Women’s Business Hub with supporting her journey. “They gave me the confidence, exposure, and coaching I needed. I told every newcomer to reach out to them.”
Nikita’s advice to aspiring entrepreneurs was simple: “Be consistent. Face objections. Turn them into opportunities. And never say no to your dream.”
