Jackie Lopey

One of the main things I appreciated about Jackie's approach was that she bids a flat rate on her design consulting with details on what it includes. She first came to our house, discussed what we wanted to do, and gave us a proposal on what her part of the project would cost us. Her work product includes design consulting, on-site measurements, 3D design plans, to-scale drawings and bid set, color schemes, detailed budget including high, medium and low estimates for furnishing and fixtures, help with fixture and product selection, and soliciting bids from multiple contractors. She also provides, at no additional cost, a wholesale buying service where she will place orders (for items such as cabinets, plumbing, lighting, tile) at significant discount to you, rather than your having to buy them at full retail. You can save a significant amount through this part of her service. Jackie was fun and easy to work with and when my husband and I realized we had completely different ideas about the color scheme, she helped us navigate through that. We remain happily married and love our new master bath.

I can't tell you how impressed we were with our first project with Jackie Lopey. She was amazing, true professional! This was the 13th restaurant renovation or buildout that we've done, and I will honestly say that it was the most seamless. Jackie took our vision and laid out many different options for all facets of the job. She worked very well with the contractor and subs. The restaurant and bar turned out amazing!! We look forward to our next project with Jackie!

We really enjoyed working with Jackie! She helped us with our kitchen remodel (among other things) and we couldn’t be happier. She made sure to really understand our style as well as make our living space super functional. We look forward to using her again!

Jackie is exactly what I hoped for when we decided to use a designer for our bathroom. She is very organized, communicates well, is always willing to listen to our ideas, and I know in the long run saved us money and time. I can't wait to work with her again in the future.

Our initial consultation with Jackie impressed us, so we hired her for the design of two complete bathroom remodels. She presented unique concepts that we never would have thought of independently on our own while still aligning with our personal style, our budget, and our necessity for functionality. In addition to being an extremely talented designer, Jackie is a project manager who worked closely with our contractor and subcontractors through the completion of the project. She created very detailed plans, leaving any guesswork out of the equation for the team. When the rare but unforeseeable bump in the road occurred, Jackie handled it swiftly and decisively. Her acumen, professionalism, and attention to detail at all points left us 100% confident and we were well taken care of throughout the process. We are absolutely thrilled with the final result! Our bathrooms are amazing and exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait for Jackie to oversee our next project—a kitchen/living room/bedroom remodel. We will be the proud owners of a fully designed Wide Canvas home!

Working with Jackie has been an incredible experience. I dreaded all the potential issues we may run into during our kitchen remodel, so I had been putting it off. I remember first meeting Jackie and she told me this process should be FUN! I couldn't even fathom this idea, but bringing Jackie on board has truly brought so much joy to this major project that I didn't think possible. She has mastered the balance of simplifying complex concepts for me and my limited knowledge of construction and design, while always finding a way to bring my husband's visions to life. There simply is no way we could have achieved the amazing results we did without her help, guidance and vision! Thank you Jackie!

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service we received from Jackie! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was truly dedicated to making our dreams a reality. She took a genuine interest in understanding our vision and spent the perfect amount of time with us, ensuring that every detail was carefully considered. Jackie's attentive and thoughtful approach set her apart. She went above and beyond, actively listening to our wants and needs, and translating them into a stunning reality. Her expertise and creativity not only resulted in the kitchen and cabinets of our dreams but also extended to crafting the most luxurious bathroom and master closets we could have ever imagined. What stood out the most was Jackie's commitment to ensuring that every aspect of our project reflected our unique style and preferences. She skillfully guided us through the entire process, offering valuable insights and recommendations that enhanced the overall design. Her passion for her work was evident, and it made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Thanks to Jackie's dedication and expertise, our home has been transformed into a haven of elegance and functionality. We are grateful for her outstanding service and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional who not only delivers exceptional results but also makes the entire design journey a delightful and personalized experience. Five stars don't seem enough to express our satisfaction and gratitude! She changed our lives for the better!

An amazing experience from start to finish! Rachael, our Designer, with Wide Canvas, here in Reno, NV, had amazing vision and gave me the confidence to make big changes to our 30 year old home. She met with us to discuss designs and presented multiple options until it looked perfect. We remodeled the kitchen and family room and I could not be happier with the final result. Both Rachael, and Jackie were there throughout the process to ensure a positive outcome. I will forever be grateful!

Very professional and extremely easy to work with. Finished product was amazing especially with her added recommendations that we didn't even think of. Come time for our next remodel, will for sure be calling you.

Jackie is a talented and professional businesswoman! She has spent time with me, giving me incredible ideas for updating my home, and I look forward to working one on one with her in the near future. I am friends with several people who have used her and have been very pleased with her work and talents.

The great thing about Jackie is that she takes a great deal of time getting to know a client's tastes. She studies your home in order to gain an understanding of the colors, shapes, patterns and surfaces you find appealing. Jackie is also interested in learning about your lifestyle and how that will play a role in the design work she will do for you. She's pleasant, easy to work with and has a good sense of humor.

As a Contractor, we have had the opportunity to work with Jackie on numerous projects. Jackie and her team's attention to detail and care for the customer provide for a smooth remodeling process. Wide Canvas' plans are one of the simplest to understand. We highly recommend using Wide Canvas for your interior design needs when considering a kitchen or bathroom remodel.

Jackie has been amazing to work with. We are doing a basement remodel and she came up with great design options to choose from. I could not have done this project without her. Her creativity and ability to listen to what the customer is really looking to achieve is hard to find. I just know that my basement is going to be awesome when it is finished. Thanks to Jackie we do not have to do much thinking!

Working with Rachael of Wide Canvas on our bathroom remodel was a homeowner's dream. She assessed our space, listened to our needs, and made our vision a reality. Our 1950's bathroom is now a functional and modern space with a cool retro vibe. The contractors Rachael connected us with were timely, professional and efficient. The project from start to finish was a rewarding experience in collaboration and excellent customer service. I would recommend Rachael and Wide Canvas to everyone and look forward to working with them again one day.

In a world where customer service seems to have been forgotten, Jackie really stepped up! she was helpful and polite and responsive. there's nothing better than having someone respond to you while you're in the middle of a big project. Material delays are inevitable these days, but when you have good customer service, that is not a problem. I would recommend Jackie to any one of my clients or business partners! Very happy w/ the way our tile project turned out.

Jackie helped us design our master bathroom. She offered us several different designs and we ended up picking one we never could have come up with on our own. Her organization, communication, and talented design skills made our process incredibly smooth. We would hire her again to do another project design.

I’ve been gathering materials for a kitchen remodel. I needed some trim pieces for backsplash tile. The dealer from whom I bought the tiles couldn’t locate the trim pieces (even though the dealer is part of a large national chain). I contacted Jackie by email, explained my predicament and in a New York minute she came up with what I needed. A very small glitch did occur in getting the trim from the right warehouse but Jackie’s communications with me were prompt and helpful. I received the trim quickly and the packaging was excellent for these fragile trim pieces. If I were searching for a designer again for a remodel I would definitely contact Jackie. I’m confident it would be great to work with her.

This is the second time we've worked with Jackie. She designed our home when we first moved in and then couple years later when we found out we were pregnant, we knew we wanted Jackie to design our baby's nursery :) Jackie was very creative, passionate & determined and super efficient considering she designed the entire nursery from across states (Covid-era). She was just as thoughtful and very detailed oriented as she was when she worked with us in person the first time. What we really appreciated about Jackie is that she designed the room to make it functional long term. She helped us choose the right colors/furniture for the room so if we were to move the baby to a different room, we could still use the nursery as a guest room. She worked within our timeline and budget that we discussed before the start of the project and we couldn't be more happy with what she delivered! We cannot wait to work with Jackie again on future projects!

We ordered some floor tile through Venue. They were able to match local samples and beat put local prices. Jackie communicated through the entire process since our tile was back ordered. We had the option to cancel the order without hassle, but decided to wait it out. The order arrived ahead of schedule. Her customer service is unparalleled and I would recommend anyone to Venue for their remodeling and supply needs.

I am a customer in the Midwest who had a very specific and unusual problem: I am pondering a kitchen remodel, and I found some great tile at a local (Wisconsin) showroom. I really needed to see the tile at home, so I asked the local business if they would sell me a single sample tile. They would not agree to do so unless they knew that my contractor would ultimately be working with them. Thus began a long hunt to find this particular tile on the internet. After a long search, I finally stumbled across the Venue site, where I could finally get a price, and order a single tile in each of two colors. I was contacted by Jackie L. shortly after ordering online so that we would work out how to get the tile samples shipped directly to my house. The freight charges were a little scary but that tile was so well cared for—the two fragile tiles arrived in perfect condition and in a timely manner, so that I had them with me when I spoke to my contractor today. I cannot say enough for Jackie’s follow-up and follow-through when I had questions about my order. We will likely source the tile from a local WI supplier, but Venue has already played an important role in helping me with my project. If we were in the area, I would not hesitate to use Venue as a go-to business. Thank you so much, Jackie and Venue, for your superior service!

Even though our project was relatively small (

Job was done on time And on budget Highly recommended I have new beautiful kitchen that my wife loves Thanks Venue

Nivin prepared a fantastic design that had alluded other designers. She is tireless in paying attention to every detail, which is much appreciated. Very nice and easy to work with.

We worked with Nivin who is a part of the Venue team. We were very pleased with the creativity, professionalism and options that Nivin and Venue provided to us during the design phase of our project. We could not be more pleased with how our new mater bathroom turned out!! Thanks to Venue and Nivin!

Jackie at Venue is wonderful. We are working with her right now on a major remodel of our upstairs bathrooms and master bedroom closet. She really listens to our likes/dislikes/hopes and dreams! She is great with working with our budget too. She was creative with our space to get us just want we wanted. We have been wanting to do this project for years but we were overwhelmed, now we are so excited (we are in the final planning stages now - demo should start soon).

We happened upon Jackie when she was just launching here career almost 12 years ago. She is SO great to work with. I believe that a designer's job is to realize the client's vision for their project. No matter the style. We wanted an Asian/Zen/Contemporary look and she guided us in making the choices to achieve this. We asked her to design a living room around an oil painting of Hawaii and she nailed that too! NO matter what you want, Jackie will help you get there. And she also will help you avoid costly and time consuming mistakes you were thinking about making!

We have been very satisfied with Jackie and her staff. High caliber, highly competent, customer focused. She really listens to what we want and works with us to bring our ideas and vision to a practical reality. She is cost conscious to maximize the value of our budget. She is VERY detail oriented, which makes the bidding process with the contractors very straightforward to get accurate estimates. Finally, she has great patience to understand and adapt to our change requests as she understands the design process is a journey and coaches her clients with a smile and positive encouragement when ideas and decisions invariably change. We would highly recommend her and her firm.

We work with Nivin and have been very happy with her expertise. She came to our home and immediately picked up on our style.She offered helpful suggestions as to what would work for the bathroom we were remodeling and also be in keeping with the rest of our home. I appreciate Venue's philosophy of working within the client's budget. They offer Good, Better, Best choices so the client can decide where they want to splurge and where they can cut costs. This allows clients to maintain quality and still stay within their budget. I highly recommend Venue and Nivin!

Jackie and her team did a phenomenal job designing our home. They patiently listened to our requirements, our likes and dislikes and creatively applied them to the designs that were well within our budget. Jackie was very honest and upfront with what would and would not look good in any area which made our selection process a lot more easier. One thing we really liked about Jackie's design process was that they were practical and functional and at the same time trendy. Her team was extremely approachable, dedicated and hardworking throughout the duration of the project. We highly recommend Venue for remodeling your next home!

We have hired Venue Design twice for some fairly substantial remodel projects in our home. Jackie has a keen sense of what her client's desires are and incorporates those tastes into the design ideas she presents. Jackie and the Venue team are great to work with, particularly as we had several design ideas we wanted incorporated after the project(s) started. Jackie has a deep sense of accountability to the end product, working with quality vendors that make any updates or changes seamless.

Nivin was excellent in reviewing our kitchen remodel plans she created. She gave us three options, and asked us to give feedback. We also appreciate Jackie and the entire Venue Team!

Nivin Velasquez (Venue) is a dedicated, hard working individual. She is a good listener and very accommodating. She has a tremendous knowledge base, and a strong capability of using it well. She is never short of ideas, but chooses them carefully and applies them accurately and efficiently. She is very easy to deal with and has a calm, professional demeanor. Many times she went "above and beyond the call" for our projects. She is an absolute pleasure to do business with, and the delight we have with her results aptly reflect the superior quality of her work.

The level of care I experienced with the Venue team was truly a delight. They offered great ideas and understood my own thoughts and ideas from the first time I mentioned them thru the entire project. There is no doubt this team will be in high demand with experiences like mine.

Nivin listened to my needs with regards to the remodeling of my bathroom. Her expertise in design, materials, colors, etc. made my selections easy. I couldn't be happier . I would definitely call Nivin for any more updates.

We continue to be very happy with Jackie's re-design after hosting another large family gathering for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Jackie solved long-term flow issues and room use issues, along with terrific bathroom designs/execution. Highly recommended.

Jackie and her team were top notch. They were professional, organized, and stood by their project. Oh, and did I forget friendly and helpful. Yes they were all that too. I would hire Venue again for any project big or small because quality and integrity with a great design must be their motto.

We loved the design process with Venue. Even though we had a fairly good idea of what we wanted in a kitchen design, Rachael made many recommendations that we had not thought of which led to a great final design. The sessions were convenient in our own home and she was always very punctual and professional. Highly recommend Venue and their approach to fine design!

I have worked with Jackie for over 5 years now and she is steadily working on my second home. I have thoroughly enjoyed my house for the past years because of what Jackie created knowing exactly what I like. She do an incredible job with my whole backyard landscape as well, which she headed. From sport court to plants, patio to gazebos, lighting....she does it all. Classy, warm and personal!

Venue and my designer Nivin Velasquez did such a great job. The team was able to characterize our lifestyle and design preferences to help us select the flooring perfectly suited to our home.

Nivin designed the most beautiful bathroom for us. She really listened to what we where looking for and was very flexible in playing with the design plans. She found the colors and materials that I wanted and exceeded my expectations with options I would have never considered. The notebook was very helpful to all the contractors and she took care of all loose ends. Nivin's communication and attention to detail is rare. I have done a lot of remodeling, and working with her made this project just amazing.

We have been working with Jackie and Rachael from Venue on our Living room and Entry room and are very happy with the way the project is going. I was hesitant at first as others had advised me against paying an upfront fee. But I would say the arrangement works out great because I am not getting piecemeal support but rather a complete project - Rachael has been very patient and understanding of timeline and design changes as we discover additional information working with contractors.

We hired Jackie to help us chose paint colors for the outside of our home. We had already spent many hours pouring over paint chips but we couldn't come up with the look we wanted. A friend had used Jackie and suggested her. I sent Jackie photos of the outside and inside of our home to give her an idea of our style. She really listened to what my husband and I had to say and within 90 minutes she came up with 2 palettes for us to try. We love the result! We will be using Venue again for an inside project! They were professional and attentive from the initial phone contact to any questions we had during the painting process.

Jackie is amazing! When we bought our home, it was a mess. It had been repossessed by the bank mid-way through the renovation and sat in disrepair for quite a while. I had never dealt with such a mess and I was overwhelmed. Jackie helped to figure out what I wanted (beach theme) and a budget (not much) and transformed our home. we loved living in it and when it came time to sell it, Jackie helped us stage it. We got a great price for it and we believe that is because of Jackie. My only regret is that Jackie con't help with our current renovation in Hawaii. Believe me, I've asked her.

We had quite the year in our home, with a flood causing us a remodel. Venue has come thru again helping us pick the right materials and style with in our budget. We are thrilled with our evolving style of our home because of Jackie and the Venue team. We look forward to our master suite remodel in the next year Venue has designed for us.

We loved working with Jackie and couldn't be happier with our new bathroom. She came up with several different plans for our project and modified them when we decided to change the scope of the project. She is definitely a professional, someone who was attentive to our needs and creative with her ideas.

Nivin did a masterful job of designing our kitchen. Her attention to detail combined with interior design knowledge was key in managing the project from the beginning to end. She worked within my budget to deliver the end result that exceeded our expectations. From listening to our kitchen-use-needs to designing a functional and aesthetically pleasing layout, to working with alongside the subcontractors, Nivin project-managed pretty much every step of the way, even to helping me decide various post project accoutrements (window coverings, seat cushion upholstery, finishing materials colors, etc.). She made the project fun. I highly recommend Venue for your interior design needs.

I worked with Jackie and her team at the end of 2015. I have a small studio apartment in the heart of San Francisco that I needed to make more efficient to maximize the space. I had worked with Jackie before in her previous career. I knew she was very professional and friendly. But I did not know her work in interior design. I saw the work she did for a colleague and it blew me away. Even though I had a small budget, she was able to design something classy and unique that represents my style and personality. She is very organized and remained transparent on all aspects of the project – pricing, timeline, etc., - throughout the process. She is very creative and listens to your needs to create something special that will suits your needs without breaking your budget. I loved my apartment before, but now even more so. Now about two years later, people continue to give me compliments on the work she did. I highly recommend Jackie and her team. You will not be disappointed! Sandra Campos

We contacted Jackie Lopey (Venue) at the recommendation of our contractor (who indicated, unlike other designers with whom he worked, she was collaborative, efficient and knowledgeable). Jackie was all of that and, most critically, she listened and executed an elegant, timeless design we loved. Budget targets were met. . She provided suggestions and good design, in addition giving us great product/material recommendations. She and her teem were responsive, supportive and efficient. We liked her work so much that we recommended her to our niece and her husband who are about to embark of a major house renovation. Our family liked what she did with our bathroom renovation so much that thy selected her as their designer.

I worked with Jackie, as I hired her to do the crucial 'Interior Decoration' in my Store. She did an absolutely wonderful job - as she really brought the Interior to life, and in all kinds of really fabulous ways that I never could have imagined before she started work on it. I was thrilled with the job she did !! And then on top of all that - she was completely honest and truthful in all of our dealings, transactions, and interactions. I give Jackie my full edorsement, and my highest recommendation !!

Jackie and her Venue team were amazing to work with and transformed my outdated kitchen into the high-end luxurious kitchen that I was looking for. Jackie made the whole process super easy from providing multiple design options to making selections on everything and final implementation. She blended comfort and style to create a showcase kitchen while staying within the budget. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking to hire a designer who really listens to her clients and delivers in every way.

Jackie is a true professional whom we had the honor and privilege to work with. She is thoughtful and considerate and always accommodating of busy work schedules. Jackie stretched our thinking through a balanced and creative lens of which we are now benefitting; "we love our new home" of which she has left imprints. If you are looking for honesty, creativity and high end execution; you should engage her. We are already beginning project #2 with Jackie as a result.

Jackie Lopey and Venue have turned out our outdated kitchen into modern, highly functional and convenient space with new cabinets, good appliances, nice accessories and warm atmosphere.Venue helped us to choose a kitchen design which reflects our taste and lifestyle. They recommended the right combination of all components, ordered them and made sure everything was done with high quality. We really appreciate Jackie's great work, professionalism, good advice and dedication to our project.

Jackie was great to work with. We had a very tight timeframe to complete a kitchen upgrade, bathroom remodel, lighting design in almost all rooms in the house as well as various other design work throughout the house. The results have been so wonderful. Jackie listened to what we wanted to achieve, and was able to create design choices that met both of our needs/styles. We can't wait to work with Jackie on our next project very soon!

We absolutely have enjoyed working with Jackie at Venue. I interviewed seven designers and am so thrilled with our choice!Jackie is thorough, pays attention to detail, channels our style perfectly and is easy to work with. She has been responsive to all emails and calls in a timely manner as well. We almost finished with the design phase and couldn't be happier with the design she has come up with; I know that we will love our kitchen! I cook ALL the time and it has been extremely important to me to have a very efficient and organized kitchen. Jackie has been incredibly patient with me as I painstakingly work my way through her ideas. I will update my review with photos and final impression once the project is done but I know we won't be disappointed. I look forward to using Jackie on future projects on my home. Giddy!
