Nicole Taylor Events -

Nicole came highly recommended from a friend of ours whose wedding we’d attended. We had our initial meeting with her over zoom and she followed up the next day with a fully personalized proposal based on what she had learned about us as a couple and our dreams for our wedding. The way she listened to and understood our vision so early in the process was indicative of the care and attention to detail we received throughout the entire process.

One question we asked her during our interview was, “What is your wedding planning superpower?” Nicole told us about how on the day of the wedding, people would often remark on how calm she was while managing a complex event. We did end up with a fairly complex wedding, yet Nicole’s presence was so calming and helped reassure us that everything would be okay.

In the 15 month process planning with Nicole, we found her responsive, easy to work with, and adaptable to the specific ways we wanted to divide responsibilities for the different parts of the process. For some items, we chose to take the lead, whereas for others we delegated them almost entirely to Nicole and she was extremely helpful in each scenario.

Nicole was also able to draw from her experience to give us vendor suggestions that we absolutely loved and fit our vision, as well as noting blind spots that would have been easy for us to overlook. It’s a testament to her skill as a planner that our wedding felt authentically personal to us and went off without a hitch.

We could tell from the beginning that Nicole was capable, a great listener, and extremely sweet, which went a long way in making our many meetings enjoyable and smooth. So much gratitude to you, Nicole!

Nicole was so lovely to work with on our wedding earlier this year in April. We hired her last year and she helped keep us on track with our deadlines and to oversee all vendor management. She was incredibly organized and made us feel so much more prepared and comfortable leading up to the wedding! All of our vendors loved working with her as well and couldn't believe how organized she was. Nicole provided such calm energy on the day of the wedding and made sure that everything went perfectly all day. We truly didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day -- it even rained on the wedding day, but Nicole had it under control by passing out blankets and umbrellas to guests! I would highly recommend working with Nicole if you are looking for a calming presence to keep you on track, on budget, and organized ahead of your big day 🙂

When it came time to plan our wedding my fiance and I knew that we were going to need to find someone trusted to help guide us through the wedding process because of our busy schedules, no prior wedding planning experience, and input coming in from family left and right.

The single most impactful decision we made that resulted in our perfect wedding was our decision to work with Nicole as our wedding planner.

From our first phone call with Nicole, we could tell how genuine she was about her business. Nicole is welcoming, approachable, understanding, and worked well with our tendency to get overwhelmed and need some encouragement. We looked forward to our calls with Nicole because she clearly laid out each step of the planning process and how best to accomplish it. Outside of our calls, Nicole would respond promptly in a detailed and understandable way to each part of our emails. She often checked in on us and kept us on track. Nicole is the exact personality of someone who can handle the million tiny details of a wedding and make it look easy. We especially appreciated her assistance organizing everything in her online program Aisle Planner. She worked closely with us to build a minute-by-minute schedule we could use and send to our families and wedding party. She contacted our vendors beforehand and made sure everyone knew the timeline.

Nicole came out to tour our venue at the Berkeley Brazilian Room. She took charge and asked all the right questions to confirm we would have what we needed the day of our wedding. She took down details about the floor plans to help make mock ups of the room. She was a confident and prepared presence. She led our wedding rehearsal and efficiently and painlessly prepared everyone in our wedding party.

The day of the wedding, Nicole came and checked in on the wedding party in their getting ready rooms. She made sure the wedding party was ready to go. She even pinned on the groomsmen’s boutonnieres!

Nicole orchestrated over a dozen vendors to ensure our venue was perfectly set up like we discussed. It was so incredibly beautiful. We were so grateful that she had all of the vendors’ contact information, knew when they would arrive, and she handled any last minute challenges that popped up. Everyone was so appreciative of that! Both sides of our families said that they were able to relax during our wedding thanks to Nicole. She and her day-of assistant Mary even came with an earpiece com-system so they could talk back and forth to coordinate things without disturbing the event. It was each little thing, down to her “just in case” kit that I needed in the getting ready room that made me feel so taken care of, I just knew no one else could have been who Nicole was for us throughout this entire process.

Thanks to Nicole’s excellent work, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our beautiful dream-come-true wedding. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole to my friends and family! You won’t regret working with Nicole, she’ll forever be a friend of the family!

Nicole was by far the greatest wedding planner I could ever have imagined for my wedding day. She went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were taken care of on our wedding day, while also accommodating our families. She was incredibly organized and communicated with me about everything. She helped me to remember things that even slipped my mind at times! She is kind, considerate, and passionate about her job. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone’s special day.

I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for Nicole and everything she did for our wedding! From start to finish, she made our day absolutely perfect, and I wouldn’t change a single thing. Every detail was beautifully coordinated, and her support and care made the entire experience beyond amazing.

Nicole is such a kind and genuine person, and we’re truly lucky to have had her by our side on our big day! Her professionalism and warmth really made a difference, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is flawless, Nicole is your person!!!

Thank you so much, Nicole! We are forever grateful!

We are so so thankful for her and all the time and effort she put into planning our wedding. She is the absolute best and an absolute joy to work with!!

My husband and I truly had no idea what we wanted our wedding to look like. Pair that with the fact we were planning our wedding in Monterey, CA from NYC, and we knew we needed someone to help us out!

Working with Nicole was truly a breeze. Her professionalism paired with thoughtfulness and understanding of who we are as a couple was integral throughout the entire process. She gave us direction where we needed it (which was A LOT!), while letting us plan things the way we wanted to. Leading up to our wedding, we had no qualms about anything from our vendors, to our timeline, because Nicole was always on top of it.

Her day-of execution was a sight to behold. None of us had to use our brains or lift a finger the day of because we had such confidence in Nicole and that she'd execute our vision. Not only that, but her communication leading up to, and the day of, put us at ease so we could truly enjoy our big day with our families and friends.

We are so thankful we found Nicole Taylor Events and would not hesitate to recommend her. Everything was flawless thanks to Nicole, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to be by our side throughout this entire process.
