Events by Nicki was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding at Scribner Bend Vineyards! I highly, highly recommend their services. We opted to do the two-month coordinator ser...
vice, and it was easily the best money spent for the whole wedding.
From the first phone call with Nicki to discuss our wedding vision - I sensed we were in the right hands. Communication with Nicki was incredibly straightforward, and information is requested through a streamlined means of questionnaires that were really helpful at alleviating the stress of trying to navigate what is most important to communicate to set up our big day for success.
Nicki was incredibly communicative throughout, and thought of many things before I did to ensure the day went seamlessly.
Come the big day, with all of the heavy planning work already done, I want to speak SO highly of Sarah. Moreover, many people attending our wedding spoke highly of her throughout the whole day. From the rehearsal, where there was an unruly flower girl to an older family member walking down the aisle with some health concerns, she was patient, thoughtful, and found a way to make the day work for all eccentricities that would pop up. To the morning-of - I felt just so incredibly stress-free. Sarah handled set up, ensured vendors were arriving/doing their job, etc. Come the wedding, even though there's a "schedule" for things, she never made it feel as though we were rushed, more so, just kindly guiding us through our day (as if it were a seamless "Disneyland ride" of sorts, if that makes sense).
Truly, I cannot thank the team enough for making our day so special, seamless, and wonderful. Can't recommend their services enough for a wedding or event.
As a wedding professional myself, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many coordinators over the years, but she stands out above the rest. After working alongside her on several ...
weddings, I knew without a doubt that she was the only person I could trust to coordinate my own.
From the very beginning, she completely understood my vision and brought every detail to life exactly how I imagined — and honestly, even better. She’s organized, calm under pressure, and incredibly detail-oriented. Our venue came with quite a few challenges, but she handled every issue gracefully and efficiently, making sure everything went off without a hitch.
What I love most about her is how genuine and caring she is. She truly invests herself in every couple and makes you feel like your wedding is her top priority. On top of that, she’s fun, approachable, and such a positive energy to have around — which makes the entire process so much more enjoyableOur wedding day was absolutely perfect, and it’s all thanks to her. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with such an important day. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your coordinator, you can relax knowing you’re in the best possible hands.
Nicki and her team were excellent! She had me and my husband on our toes and took very good care of us the day of the wedding and leading up to it. If I could have NICKI all over a...
gain, I would! as a person of color and how difficult my family was. She handled everything perfectly. Thank you NICKI for all that you did and making sure I did not pass out lol. I cannot thank you enough. You are a blessing. ❤️
Hiring a day-of coordinator was worth every penny—when things inevitably go wrong, we felt so secure knowing we could trust Nicki to handle any hurdle we threw her way. (Oh, we mis...
placed our bouquets during setup the night before so they ended up disguised as any of the floral arrangements centerpieces?—found within minutes. Oh, the photowall we DIY’d was falling down?—upright and sturdy before anyone saw it was down. Oh, the parking at our venue was weird and cars needed to be moved? Handled! All of these bumps were smoothed out thanks to Nicki’s leadership. Before the wedding Nicki also walked us through and helped us build out a timeline—and most valuable—came to scout out our venue and asked them all the questions we hadn't thought of. Thanks, Nicki, I’d work with you again!
This review is long overdue, and I’m so thankful for everything Nicki did for us. She was sweet, funny, and handled every detail like a pro. She pretty much does it all! whether yo...
u want balloons, a mobile bar, or need someone to keep things on track, she’s your person. And trust me, Nicki will get people to get in line! I only wish I’d hired her sooner. I brought her on two months before the wedding, but looking back, I would’ve invested in her help way earlier. You’re already making a huge investment in your wedding, invest in a planner every step of the way.
Whatever your vision is, Nicki will make sure to bring it to life. We had lots of vendors marquee letters, guest portraits, a photo booth, and more and her timeline coordinated every detail perfectly, from a harpist at the ceremony to a mariachi band at the reception and a 16 piece Mexican band. It was everything we dreamed of! When my dress was getting caught in my heel because of the lining, she jumped in and cut it on the spot to save me from tripping. She even helped me get into my second dress and find my shoes when no one else was around to assist. And when my family forgot my second dress, she quickly sent Sarah from her team to grab it from the hotel. Not only that, but Sarah took tons of pictures and videos of the wedding, which I absolutely loved! While I’m waiting on the official photos and video, I’ve already been able to look back on so many great moments from the day.
And when about five impromptu speeches popped up last minute, Nicki just made it happen, no problem. Her preferred vendors are amazing they’re definitely on her list for a reason!
If you want someone who truly cares about every detail and makes sure your day is perfect, I can’t recommend Nicki enough. And she doesn’t just do weddings she’s fantastic with all kinds of event coordination!
Nicki was our wedding coordinator for our wedding at The Club at Ruby Hill. She did a wonderful job in making sure every little detail went according to plan and also making sure e...
veryone was in the right place at the right time. With so many things happening at once, she made everything feel at ease on our big day. Would highly, highly recommend her to anyone who wants a stress-free wedding day!
I can’t say enough about how incredible my wedding coordinator Nicki and her team were throughout the entire wedding planning process. From our very first meeting, Nicki made every...
thing feel seamless and enjoyable. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for her work truly set her and her team apart.
Every step of the way, Events by Nicki offered invaluable guidance and support, ensuring that all my ideas came to life without a hitch. She was always just a message away, ready to address any questions or concerns my husband or I had. On the big day, everything ran flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment with our friends and family without a worry in the world.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication transformed what could have been a stressful process into a joyous celebration. I’m so grateful for everything Nicki and her team did to make our wedding day unforgettable!
Nicki coordinated our event at the Club at Ruby Hill. When we first met her, the staff at the venue treated her as a polished professional and now that our event has passed, we und...
erstand why Nicki and her team are so highly regarded. We expected the process to be stressful with organization and execution. Nicki exceeded these expectations. She managed the day like a surgeon – everything was set up perfectly, she paid attention to the details that were easily overlooked, and was an absolute blast during the event; she was prepared for anything.
She is extremely organized. Leading up to the event date, Nicki will make sure that all of the details discussed are accounted for and executable. Once it is crunch-time, she will also work very closely with your vendors. Knowing that Nicki was working so hard behind the scenes allowed us to relax as we approached the event date.
Although most of this review is focused on her stellar work, the team was also absolutely wonderful interacting with our guests. Many of our friends and family found them to have great positive energy. Our wedding party had a great time working with her as they prepared for their coordinated entrance.
If you are concerned of the stress leading up to your event, you will be in the best hands when working with the Events by Nicki team. They are extremely capable of making your dream day come true while also reducing the stress/anxiety that you may accumulate. Additionally, they are ready to have fun with you and your guests and prioritize having a good time. Events by Nicki is the dream team you would like to have on your side.
Nicki and her team were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to ensure that we had the most perfect day.
My husband and I did most of the planning for our wedding ourselves, and we relied on Nicki as a month of wedding planner to get us to the finish line. We got so much value from he...
r, not only for how efficiently and precisely she ran the venue walkthrough, rehearsal, and day of, but also for the many advices she gave us. LISTEN TO HER, even if you think you know better! Really recommended. Thank you again Nicki!
Nicki was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We can honestly say we would have been lost without her! She was very organized and helped us draft a timeline to ensure we ...
did everything we wanted to do on our big day. She and her assistant were helping with absolutely everything day of - from running to aid an injured bridesmaid to lining everyone up to see us off at the end of the night. She was both professional and funny - the best combination! We are so grateful she was part of our wedding 🙂
We booked the Two Month to Day of Coordination package for our wedding in July 2023 and also ended up adding rentals for our dessert/favors tables. We could not be more grateful f...
or all of Nicki's help throughout our planning! Our biggest ask was that we wanted to be relaxed, not-stressed, and able to really soak in and enjoy our big day and that definitely happened because of Nicki and her team. Nicki was super communicative and prepared and gave us great guidance as we finalized our plans leading up to our big day. She had great questionnaires and documentation to keep everything organized. We DIY-ed our decor/flowers and it was something I was a bit worried about leading up to the day, but everything looked perfect! She also helped coordinate all our vendors so things went off smoothly and on schedule. Also, I had some people in my wedding party that I knew were going to be opinionated or "difficult" ;) but she handled them with ease and took that stress off of us which we were so grateful for!
We can't thank Nicki and Lauren enough for helping make our wedding the most amazing day!!
My husband and I hired Nicki for our 9/23 wedding we had chosen her 2 month to day of coordination package. She had taken a ton of weight off my shoulders. Her bubbly personality m...
ade this experience 10 times better !! She got straight to the point! We had the pleasure of meeting her partner Lauren The day of. They made sure I had no care in the world, Nicki even stopped traffic for my ceremony 🤣 I would highly recommend Nicki to anyone in need of event planning ! We will definitely be hiring again for our vow renewal and any other big event ! Thank you Nicki ! You and Lauren were Are an amazing team !
We hired Events by Nicki for Partial Planning. My husband and I are extremely happy we did! Nicki was amazing and we cannot thank her enough for being the guiding light we so despe...
rately needed to make our big day better than we could have imagined. Nicki was so organized, professional, and catered to our every need throughout the planning process. On the big day, she made sure everything went according to plan, kept us on time for all of the various bride/groom activities, and made it so we could enjoy our wedding without worrying about anything else. Events by Nicki were a blessing for us and we are so thankful we chose them. Nicki was absolutely incredible to work with! She responded effectively to changing circumstances and kept all of the vendors coordinated and on schedule. Her efforts hugely benefited the wedding environment and it would never have been such a huge success without her and her team! We will forever be grateful with Nicki! We HIGHLY recommend her!
From the very first phone call with Nicki, I just knew she would be a great wedding coordinator and she definitely delivered. I
hired Nicki as my Day of Coordinator, she was very ...
responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. Nicki helped us generate a wedding timeline and got in contact with all of my other vendors and she truly made my wedding day stress free. Nicki was always on top of everything and I trusted her guidance. My husband and I are so happy we had Nicki there on our big day, she made sure our wedding party knew exactly what was going on and everyone raved about how capable and fun Nicki was. At the end of the night, everything was packed and ready to go, I truly feel grateful Nicki and Tiffany ensured everything went so smoothly. People still talk about how fun our photodash session was which Nicki suggested we do!! Throughout our wedding day, Nicki gave my husband and I confidence that everything was taken care of and going according to plan and she had great attention to small detail and even noticed my husband had on the wrong boutonniere!!! Thank you Nicki and team from the bottom of our heart!
Nicki was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. As a couple that didn’t do much wedding research or know what a wedding fully entailed in...
terms of planning, she really helped us pull everything together and she handled all of the little (and big) things that we didn’t even think about - from making recommendations in planning, finding vendors last minute, and even fixing our bare wedding cake on the big day! It was an absolute joy to work with Nicki and her team and my husband would highly recommend her for any event coordinating. Forever thankful and hoping to have another big event in the future so we can have her as a coordinator again!
We could not have imagined our wedding without Events by Nicki! From the beginning Nicki was instrumental in our wedding planning process. She brought structure, expertise, great a...
dvice and overall enjoyment to the process and we could not have imagined planning our wedding without her help. We booked her Private Residence Package as we got married at our family’s property and it was perfectly curated to fit our needs. I felt that her pricing was reasonable for the type of support she offered. She helped with vendor sourcing, timeline creation, vendor communication, consulted about any and all questions or issues that arose and much more. Our rehearsal and wedding day went so smoothly because of her, Tiffany and Lauran. We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day because of them and we couldn't have done it without them! Nicki is the kind of person you want to stay connected with and I can’t wait to see her and her business continue to flourish.
Nicki was great to work with! We hired her for day of coordination with the 2 month check in/planning wrap up. She is very nice and had everything organized for us. She helped coor...
dinate details with all our final vendors and of course kept everything on schedule the day of. The wedding day went super smooth and we couldn't be happier with her services.
Nicki helped us with last-minute planning as well as day-of coordination for our wedding. We hadn't done a lot of prep work, and accordingly didn't expect much - but somehow, the e...
vent looked and felt like it was planned for a year, binders and all! I was impressed with how smart and capable she was; she not only kept us on track with vendors and task lists, but also played guide/cheerleader - telling us what to expect while reminding us that it should be fun! She approached us with important decisions and exercised good judgment on small things - which was EXACTLY the right approach for us. We had such a lovely day, and we are so grateful - we could not recommend her enough! :)
We are mostly a DIY couple & had many of the details for our big day sorted out & arranged. Nicki & her team ensured we kept to a timeline, helped us fill in any holes in our plann...
ing & added special attention to detail in so many areas. I can say our day went perfectly & it was definitely due to the knowledge, organization & help of Events by Nicki!
I was able to work with Nicki for my wedding in October 2021. I was really happy to find her because she was organized, a great communicator and friendly. My wedding was set for a...
little under 200 guests and I was not going to have bandwidth to set up and did not want to ask my family and friends to do it.
Nicki met with my now husband and I over the phone and in person to go over details and goals for our special day. She listened, took notes and ensured we could trust her to execute our vision.
With Nicki in charge I was able to focus on getting ready and being in the moment. The decor came out better than I imagined, we stayed on time for each of our events on the timeline and I didn’t have to stress over anything. She made sure anything that did pop up she went to my maid of honors and didn’t have me bothered. She got the little things I forgot about like boutonnières and all that. She brought my husband and I appetizers to enjoy after the ceremony together for just a few minutes in privacy. This was a special moment.
I can’t say thank you enough to Nicki for making our big day as perfect as it was. Highly recommend Nicki if your looking to work with someone who has a professional team, able to execute your vision, is organized and wonderful communicator.
We planned our wedding while living abroad, and from the start Nicki was super responsive and accommodating with the time difference. On the day of the wedding Nicki's team did an ...
outstanding job of making things as stress-free as possible. We didn't have to spend the day telling people where to go and what to do because they were on it - we could just sit back and enjoy the party! They even made sure to pull plates of food for us so that we got something to eat (bless). Thank you Nicki for bringing our vision to life and making our wedding such a joyful occasion.
Best crew ever! Nicki ensured our wedding night flowed seamlessly. There were a few hiccups on my part but she was able to fix and correct everything without anyone else noticing. ...
She and her team are very friendly and sweet too. My only regret was not booking her for full coordination instead of day of. All my family guests complimented on how great she did too.
I had a great experience at my wedding. I got to enjoy every minute of it and really be present. I wasn’t stressed and that was my goal from the very beginning. Nicki made me feel ...
at ease with the remaining planning and execution. She was on top of everything. The rehearsal went well and I appreciated how up front she was with everyone so that it was clear what was expected on the day of. The reception was so beautiful and she executed everything that I had in mind. Everyone was complimenting me on how beautiful it all was. Lauren was amazing, too. She was so friendly and I am so glad they were there to help everything run so smoothly.
If you are looking for a prompt, perfectionist, and organize coordinated you must book Nicki and her team . SThey did an amazing job making sure my wedding was perfect! Our busses ...
to our venue ran late and she made sure that we got our schedule back on track so we could do everything that I wanted! Made our experience worry free! Truly couldn’t imagine not having her and just using the venue’s coordinator. She did such an amazing job that my sister in law used her the following year for her wedding and of course did a fantastic job. She is a God sent! You must book her and her team!!
Thank you Nicki and her team! Ashley & Steven

detail. She managed the entire event seamlessly. She created an environment where the Bride and Groom, the Wedding Party and guests have nothing to worry about. Nikki is so impressive! Very grateful for her and her team!
Nicki was the wedding coordinator for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding last year. She was organized, prompt, and kept the show running behind the scenes. When I got engaged, ...
I immediately knew I wanted Nicki to be involved in our wedding.
Nicki (and her team) was a lifesaver in so many ways. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and ensured our wedding was executed the way we had dreamed it would be. She offered assistance leading up to the wedding, sent tips and tricks prior to the wedding, led the rehearsal at the venue, and was my right-hand lady on the day of the wedding. Although I’m sure there were issues taking place, I was not made aware of the problems or the drama because Nicki was already taking care of it. Having Nicki and her team be apart of our wedding was honestly the best wedding decision we ever made. I am so thankful and appreciative of everything that she did, her high attention to detail, and for everything she did behind the scenes. I could not imagine how our wedding would have been without her!
