Candace Noel Events

I am so glad that we had Candace as our planner to create a magical wedding in Santa Fe. She is very professional with a unique personal touch. She is organized without being overbearing - she is always there with the right nudges at the right time - you never have to wonder where you are in the planning/execution because she always keeps you informed. She is flexible, creative and is a excellent problem solver and communicator. Her calming effect on the overall event is very apparent and truly creates an experience that can be enjoyed by all - especially the hosts and bride/groom. Candace was with us on our 2 year journey (thanks to COVID) of creating and re-creating a truly magical wedding for our daughter and son-in-law. Late in our planning, we had to change venues to their ranch which required re-work of much of the plan - Candace never missed a beat - she rolled up her sleeves and helped us re-create the vision for a wedding that was reflective of the bride and groom and their home, the family and the beauty of New Mexico. She expertly navigated the vendors, the weather and all that goes into an complete outdoor wedding - everything came off exceeding our expectations. We had approximately 100 out of town guests that truly had an experience like none other. Her pride and ownership of the event was reflected by her doing whatever was needed to make it perfect and a complete success - no job was too big or too small for her to take on or cover to ensure that everything was perfect. I cannot imagine that we could have accomplished this without the calm flexibility, expertise and loving attention to detail from Candace to deliver a dream wedding for our family. I cannot recommend Candace enough - she is great to work with and is a truly exceptional person.

Candace is THE BEST wedding planner you could ask for. Organized, calm, and kind to boot. She knows all the vendors in the area and has the best advice. She is straightforward and will go above and beyond to help you execute your vision. When COVID killed our original plans, Candace was super flexible and worked with all our vendors to change the date as well as ultimately the venue. She was also a calming presence throughout the process and a joy to work with. Cannot recommend her enough! I cannot imagine my wedding without her.

If you want to have the wedding of your dreams, HIRE CANDACE!!! She is an absolute star. Candace was a joy to work with from the very beginning. Her design and aesthetic expertise make her a great sounding board for coming up with your wedding concept, and her patience put me—a fairly anxious bride—immediately at ease. Throughout the entire process, she was communicative, accessible and totally organized. But, more than that, she became a friend and a confidant, someone that I plan to stay in touch with even though we're no longer planning a wedding. Candace made my (now) husband and I feel extremely special throughout the process, and she heard all of our concerns and requests, no matter how nutty, and made sure they were taken under consideration. On the actual wedding weekend, Candace had to juggle a lot of moving parts because our wedding was complicated to pull off, requiring the coordination and meditation between lots of vendors, timetables and preferences. She CRUSHED it. She was patient, unflappable and always calm, putting myself and my family at ease. My husband and I had high hopes and high expectations for how our wedding would come together. Well, Candace FAR exceeded anything we had imagined. It was the perfect day and night, and it's all due to the way that she tied everything together, paid endless attention to detail and devoted herself to getting to know the two of us and what we wanted out of this experience. Candace is so much more than just a ridiculously talented wedding/event planner. She's an amazing human being who cares tremendously about the couples she works with and invests so much of her energy, emotion and resources into helping begin a marriage, not just throw a party. There is NO BETTER wedding planner in Northern New Mexico. Hire Candace! She'll make the most memorable day of your life the best it can possibly be!

We hired Candace for our day-of coordination. Candace went above and beyond and made sure our wedding ran smoothly. On top of that, she has a great eye for design and made sure all the details were put together nicely. My husband and I were planning the majority of our wedding from afar and having her help with the last-minute details was such a lifesaver. She made sure our wedding was as stressfree as possible.
