My husband and I were recently married in a small ceremony with only four guests at my parents’ home, due to the pandemic. Initially, we wondered if we’d need a wedding planner for...
such a small ceremony. We learned quickly that we did, because even Micro weddings require great contacts and a lot of attention, and Nicolle made the day absolutely perfect.
Nicolle planned everything in less than 8 weeks and was a step ahead making sure that the wedding would be everything we’d hoped it would be and that was not easy during a pandemic!
She thought of EVERYTHING and really did it all. With COVID, she had to do a lot of pivoting. She even stepped up to serve our amazing reception dinner prepared by an incredible chef, one of her multiple contacts that made our day so special. Nicolle did this so that no one in my family would have to miss a moment of our post ceremony dinner celebration.
Nicolle has contacts in the wedding industry that reflect her extensive experience level, and those that know of her and work with her love her! I feel like each of our vendors paid extra special attention to us because we were working with Nicolle.
Nicolle orchestrated an outstanding photographer and videographer who live streamed the ceremony so family and friends would not have to miss our wedding day.
We loved working with Nicolle so much that we are asking her to coordinate our in person celebration once the pandemic is over. Can’t recommend working with Nicolle enough!
Every detail was taken care of! The team at Mother of the Bride are what real wedding dreams are made of. So thankful for them and all the lifetime memories they made for me. Nicol...
e made me feel special and unique, she made sure it was my vision and truly magical day.
Planning a wedding is stressful enough, planning a wedding during a global pandemic is any anxiety ridden bride's worst nightmare. Nicolle went above and beyond to help navigate ...
the uncertainty in the spring of 2020. Nicolle spent countless hours on the phone with us as we debated & finally decided to postpone our larger celebration. She handled everything with our vendors AND helped us re-plan an intimate family ceremony in a few weeks time. No matter the curveball I threw Nicolle was prepared -- I cannot thank her enough for her help the last 18 months, it was truly a blessing having her throughout this entire planning process.
I got to work alongside Nicolle from Mother of the Bride Weddings last week and I was blown away by her attention to detail, professionalism and how easy she made it for everyone (...
including me as the photographer!) From making sure everyone had eaten to ensuring that the wedding party was taken care of all day, and of course keeping us all on track, I just cannot recommend Nicolle and this team enough. I sincerely hope this is the first of many weddings I get to work alongside these ladies at. Reach out now, you will NOT regret it!
Nicolle is absolutely amazing. She is incredibly organized, flexible, creative and an overall wonderful person. She made my wedding day perfect!
Nicolle did a fantastic job with everything! It made the whole planning process stress free and made our wedding day go very smoothly. She took care of everything and got us connec...
ted with the right people in order to make sure our special day was absolutely perfect. She is very professional and detail-oriented, but also has a great personality which goes a long way. I can't thank her enough, and it was an absolute pleasure!
Nicolle is the BEST! She is efficient, detail oriented and fun. Can’t thank her enough for the most stunning wedding!
I absolutely LOVED working with the Mother of the Bride team! They went way above and beyond for my sister's wedding making the planning fun and exciting while staying professional...
and executing a flawless experience! They were truly the calm to our crazy. I'd hire them again in a second!
Nicolle is the absolute BEST. We had a destination wedding in Banff, Canada. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, planning a destination wedding in a different country is even m...
ore so, but with Nicolle's help the entire weekend went off without a hitch. She knew exactly how to work in our budget, the exact vibe we were going for and it truly was a blessing having her there. Look no further for a wedding planner group!
Nicolle is great! I interviewed a ton of planners and they all made planning sound stressful except Nicolle. She made it easy and the day of she was AMAZING! I never got asked a si...
ngle question the entire day which I thought I was still going to have to be executing the plan but she did everything!

ould not imagine my wedding day without her. I recommend Mother of the Bride to everyone I know.
Nicolle was the absolute best! Everything went so smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for a better night! 100% would recommend!
Nicolle was our wedding planner and she made all the difference in the world. Planning an event for 100+ people is probably one of the most stressful things I could ever imagine - ...
she made it so much easier! All the details and things that can fall through the cracks were taken care of - deadlines and working with the vendors - all of it! She's amazing. It really helps let you enjoy the planning instead of dreading every moment of it. Plus she's got so much experience she isn't afraid to input her opinion and really help out if something isn't worth while or not in budget, she does that all while making sure your day is exactly how you imagined it !
Nicolle and Mother of the Bride were amazing to work with. Nicolle was helped us every step of the way from vendors, planning, budget, clothing, design, decor, seating, food, drin...
ks, rehearsal, guests, tables, advice, timing, music, etc. (literally everything). Nicolle answered our multiple phone calls and emails at all hours of the day/night, evening took time during her vacation to respond. She was the perfect advocate with all of our vendors and worked with all of them to accomplish our goals, wants and needs. I could not imagine anyone else to help and plan our wedding throughout our entire engagement and during the Month, week, and (most importantly) day of the wedding.
Mary is absolutely phenomenal. When I first got engaged, I didn't know where to start. Mary went out of her way to meet with me where and when I was available. She is very professi...
onal and organized and helped me develop a vision for my wedding. She can do it all; from various large projects to small simple projects and always responded to any emails or calls very quickly. She is always there to advise me with any questions or concerns that pop into my mind as I'm planning my wedding. She has great references and sources, as well as great ideas and experience in the wedding industry. I would strongly recommend her to everyone, whether you think you need a planner or not.. She is one of our best investments by far.

The planners at Mother of the Bride know what they are doing. They handled my wedding day beautifully!
No way I could have done everything without a wedding planner...

When I got engaged, I knew I needed a wedding planner to navigate the differences between my mom and me. I talked to planners at a variety of levels, and really liked the experien...
ce I got with MOB.
I was able to choose out of 3 levels of support for my planner, and I chose the 1 year model. She met with my mom and me and slowly we started making decisions. It was good to have another person there to help us decide what theme and overall feel we wanted for the wedding. We also had around 250 people so it took a lot of planning!
She also had many connections in town and was able to get some good deals for us because of her repeated business.
IN the end everything went off without a problem, and I know I could not have done it without Sally at MOB! I highly recommend them and the value they provide!
Nicolle made the planning process and wedding day so stress-free. She was beyond attentive throughout the wedding process and made all of my visions a reality on our big day! I don...

ssional. She had FANTASTIC ideas and was extremely knowledgeable about everything wedding-related. During the week of the wedding, she arranged everything with the other vendors. During the wedding itself, her presence put me, my groom and our families at ease. She is tireless! Due to her, our event was seamless and even better than we had hoped.

I loved working with Mother of the Bride and Teri because she had such awesome ideas for decor. She designed the entire event and it was all that we dreamed of!
