I was someone who used to not believe in hiring a wedding planner; spending the extra money on an already expensive industry just never seemed ideal. But when I moved to Pensacola and got engaged, my fiance and I found ourselves with three jobs... between the two of us, and a military schedule to navigate through. My mom came into town and set up a few meetings with planners, and Nicole was the first one we met with. When I say she blew my mom and I's socks off...we actually cancelled all the rest of the meetings we had set up for the day. She was sweet, professional, smart, energetic, and clearly very knowledgable about her field. Plus, her pricing was incredibly reasonable-much better than some of her competitors in the area. We were even a little nervous about planning a wedding during one of the busiest wedding seasons of all time (2022), but she assured us with complete confidence that we would have the wedding of our dreams regardless. We booked her that day for full-service, and the rest is history. If you are overwhelmed with the idea of planning such a big day in your life, I cannot recommend Nicole more. She was there for me every step of the way, made recommendations when I was unsure, answered my panicked texts and emails when I was overthinking little details, brought us the best vendors with amazing prices, and always gave me her utmost attention when we met in person. One specific memory I have is when we met at a coffee shop to go over the website, and we ended up sitting and talking about non-wedding stuff for over an hour! It was so nice to work with someone who actually cared, was clearly passionate about her work, and who I could count as a friend at the end of all this. My fiance and I's wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and we genuinely had so much fun. A sign for me that we made the right decision to book full service planning was that I wasn't stressed for even a second during wedding weekend. I feel like for a lot of brides, the day of the wedding is lovely, but every second leading up to it is chaotic and generally not a good time. Nicole and her team gave me the confidence that the day would go smoothly, and that I didn't have to worry about a thing. Just an example to attest to this: Nicole ended up being unable to come to the wedding due to health concerns (health is obviously a priority, I know she would have been there if she could), but she sent her husband and two members of her team to work with us during the day. We had laid out an itinerary for the day weeks prior, and she had made sure all vendors were up to date on it. Caitlin, the team member who stood in for Nicole, was the absolute sweetest, and was always by my side making sure everything was up to standards. Even though it was unfortunate that Nicole couldn't be there, it truly shows how invested, personal, and detailed her services are. To put it bluntly, with my fiance and I's very busy schedule, I know this wedding wouldn't have been as beautiful without her help, or have even happened quite frankly. I feel so blessed to have met her and to have worked with her for 11 months. She will always be a part of the reason I look back on my wedding fondly. So, as someone who was once very skeptical about the wedding planning business, I can say with full confidence that I'm converted. I recommend every bride get a wedding planner, and if you're in the Mobile-30A area, book Nicole!!!
