Nicole is truly an expert. From the start, she helped us find our vendors, reached out, kept our budget in mind, and made sure communication was maintained. Throughout the entire process, she had our best interest and vision at heart. Even though I consider myself pretty type A, there were many details I had overlooked. She truly went above and beyond to make sure each detail- minor or major was accounted for. Her attention to detail and thought was truly incredible. Leading up to our day, she maintained excellent communication and was so incredibly reassuring. When there was concern for rain, she made sure we would be all set. During the reception, she made sure our timeline ran smoothly, the rain didn’t cause any major problems (i.e. mopped up the dance floor, made sure the servers didn’t slip and communicated efficiently with our other vendors), and took care of anything that came up. I was able to fully enjoy the day and not worry about any details that went awry. My family has been talking about how incredible she was! Her assistant was ready to go and jumped in whenever or wherever she was needed. Wedding planning can be really overwhelming and intimidating. Nicole was an incredible partner in this process and I will recommend working with her time and time again.

Nicole was amazing! She did such a great job as our month of coordinator. Seamlessly took over our communication for the last few weeks and made it such a smooth month leading up. The day of was even better! She kept us on track and flowing smoothly. Multiple family members are in the wedding industry and said it was the best wedding theyve ever been to! A huge part of that was Nicole! Highly recommend!

ecure discounts with some of our vendors, which was a huge bonus! Nicole was incredibly thoughtful and flexible in helping us build a timeline that truly fit our vision. She met with us multiple times before the wedding, always ready to adjust and refine the plan to ensure everything flowed seamlessly. Our rehearsal was smooth, fast, and stress-free, allowing our entire wedding party to feel confident for the big day. During the day of the wedding, she handled all the details and logistics perfectly (from set up to tear down). She even stayed until the very end to make sure nothing was left behind and everything was perfect. Nicole’s dedication, professionalism, and warmth made all the difference. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

atience, and attention to every little detail played such a huge part in that. From the planning stages through to the day-of coordination, we felt completely supported and at ease. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her! If you are weighing the "cost" of hiring a coordinator or not, know that having someone like Nicole at your side to cover all of the details you thought of (or likely haven't yet) was well worth it so we could be in the moment and enjoy our special day. Cheers!

meeting and through the entire journey. Nicole is extremely organized, calm, supportive, kind, attentive, and the best coordinator one could ask for. She worked with our friends and family like she knew them, and also made them all feel at ease. She has a lot of great connections with vendors and evidence of relational and business success in the wedding industry and beyond. My husband and I adore her not just for what she did as our coordinator, but for the person she is. A million times over we would recommend her. Nicole, thank you SO very much for everything!!! <3 You helped make our day extremely special, smooth, and the fairytale that is was!! My family and the guests absolutely loved you too! <3

ur wedding, I had nothing to worry about - Nicole handled everything seamlessly, and our guests are still raving about her.
Nicole has a gift for moving things along smoothly without ever being imposing. She was wonderful with our guests, and especially kind and patient with our kids during both the rehearsal and ceremony. She kept everything on schedule while also being flexible to our needs. When unexpected challenges popped up, like strong winds that scattered our guest cards all over the lawn or when the top layer of our cake fell off (!), Nicole stayed calm and collected, quickly fixing the issues without missing a beat. She worked beautifully with all of our vendors, and I never once had to step in. She managed it all behind the scenes with ease. Nicole made it possible for me to be fully present and enjoy the day, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her!

credible recommendations for vendors while taking our personal preferences into account and made the communication with everyone a breeze. She kept us on task with figuring little details that we didn't even realize we would need plan for and really just made the overall planning experience as stress-free as I think is humanly possible.
On the day of, everything was handled flawlessly. We didn't even have to think about what was going on the behind the scenes because she had it so dialed in. And the day was perfect.
We didn't give ourselves much time to plan our wedding (5 months) and Nicole is the single reason we could 1) pull it off and 2) have it be such an incredible day. And she was just a ton of fun to work with too.
She is a dream wedding planner. Would so so so highly recommended. We cannot thank her enough.

She was incredibly on top of it and created our day of schedule down the minute. She was professional, so nice and charming and a total powerhouse. My entire family was so impressed by her. If anything went wrong on my wedding day I didn’t know about it and that was 100% down to her hard work. If I had to rank my vendors she would be at the top.

dations/honest opinions when I needed them and made our wedding day go SO smoothly. She reached out to all of our vendors to ensure everything was scheduled appropriately for the big day. We had an out of town wedding and she offered to have any of our wedding decorations sent to her home to make it easier on us. One of our groomsmen had an issue with his suite being delivered to his home on time so she offered to have it delivered to her home and she brought it to the wedding rehearsal. Our wedding day went so perfectly and it was 100% because of Nicole. She was running around handling everything with the venue the day of and if there were any issues, I never heard about them! If you’re looking for someone dedicated, professional, friendly and knowledgeable then she is your girl! Highly highly recommended if you’re in need of a wedding coordinator.

nth leading up to our wedding and an even smoother day on our wedding day!
Nicole paid close attention to every detail and communicated clearly and regularly with us throughout the planning process. She reiterated that she would be available when we needed her and followed through flawlessly.
During the planning process, Nicole reached out to all of our vendors to make sure we on-track in regard to payment, schedule, coordination, etc. This enabled my wife and I to worry less about timeline components as we got closer to our wedding day.
I cannot stress enough just how much we appreciate Nicole and her attention to detail! She has a keen eye for decorating, planning, and hospitality. Throughout the evening of our wedding, she did multiple check-ins with my wife and I and made sure we always had our needs met. Not only did she make us feel comfortable, but validated in our thoughts and feelings surrounding our vision of our wedding day.
Thank you, Nicole, for helping make our wedding day extra memorable. We couldn't have done it without you! Because of you, Jess and I have even fonder memories to look back on and would 1000% recommend you to anyone looking to hire a wedding planner!

Nicole built out and managed our entire wedding day timeline, handled all vendor communications leading up and on the day, was attentive, prompt, and very professional. Even small problems that arose were veiled from our view because she seamlessly handled everything. We would 100% book her again and I highly recommend that you do as well! Thanks so much, Nicole!

The secret to a smooth, enjoyable wedding? A wedding coordinator who knows what she's doing - and that was Nicole to a tee. She was incredibly helpful in the lead up (answering our...
questions, providing recommendations, and laying out realistic expectations), and was fantastic at walking us and the wedding party through the ceremony motions at the rehearsal practice. But ultimately, I honestly don't know how we could've done the Big Day without her. She kept us on our timeline, made sure my husband and I had food and beverages, was a great help to everyone in attendance, and was just overall phenomenal. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Nicole Issler helping them on their wedding day.

ors and guests—once we met Nicole, she was the obvious choice and one of the best decisions we made during the whole process. During the nearly year of planning, she was flexible, creative, supportive, and thorough. On the day of, she managed to choreograph vendors and guests alike and probably juggled random hiccups about which we aren’t even aware. Even after the wedding, she was an advocate for us in tying up loose ends with vendors and followed through with every last detail.

quired us to have one. This turns out to be the most valuable service ever because of Nicole. We went with her “month of” package and realize that our daughter’s wedding would have been 100 times more stressful if we did not have Nicole.
She took control of all vendor communication and coordination, she created a very detail day of timeline which included consideration for things we would not have known. Excellent communication, 2 great vendor referrals and unbelievable effort on the wedding day! Nicole did everything and she was so fast, efficient, involved, attentive, thorough, polite, competent and the list continues. Our month’s of planning was executed perfectly by Nicole which allowed the entire wedding party, both families, and all guests to focus on one thing, enjoying the entire day.
Nicole is exceptional and I will refer her to everyone I know. Thank you Nicole for making our daughter’s wedding perfect!

coordinating with all the vendors the month prior which was such a relief. On the day of Nicole was confident, executing all the small details and ensuring everything went smoothly, and when I unfortunately got stung by a bee she was immediately there with topical Benadryl and zyrtec. She also went above and beyond to pack up to go food from our buffet for us to have later which was so sweet. Nicole exceeded all of my expectations and I am so glad we had her help on our big day.

What would we have done without this powerhouse of a woman?! Nicole came in with amazing energy, can-do attitude and a solution to every problem. We were so lucky to take advantage...
of the "Month Of" coordinator package, which allowed us to hand over all final communication for the last several weeks and focus on enjoying the day! Nicole has a huge list of contacts that helped solve last-minute challenges, an intimate knowledge of our venue which provided quick and easy answers, and a commitment to achieving the vision set out by us as brides. She handled the issues that came up day-of without making anything our problem, and engineered a truly seamless event. Most importantly, she made it easy for us to relax and have a great time. We are super grateful for her energy and style - she heard each of our concerns and priorities and made them her own. She also embraced us for who we are as a couple and was so inclusive of our friends and family. It was so important to us to have a chill, welcoming vibe for our guests, and Nicole knocked it out of the park. Book her now!! xx

We hired Nicole Issler to be our wedding planner about 6 months before our August 2022 wedding. We had already booked our venue and our photographer and we wanted to have help find...
ing our other vendors and staying on track. Nicole met with us once a month for around an hour at a time and gave us a lot of great advice on working with other vendors and making decisions on all of the little details we still needed to work out. The timeline she helped us with kept us on track to have everything ready with as little stress as possible! She was always available via email and phone for anything that came up outside of our monthly meetings. When my hair and makeup arrangements fell through around a month before the wedding, Nicole called and emailed around and found me the perfect person to take over. It was such a relief to not have to stress over doing that all on my own!
On the day of the wedding Nicole took full charge and we didn’t have to worry about anything, it was so nice to be able to just enjoy our day. She grabbed all of our extra decorations and things we needed and made sure they were all exactly where they needed to be. She took over all of the vendor communications so we didn’t have to worry about anything. She even grabbed us both plates of food and drinks whenever we needed them! We really enjoyed working with Nicole and we highly recommend her services!

on our many conversations with her she made sure we stayed on track with our timeline and our day was perfect. I loved every minute of it and I’m so grateful to Nicole for her help. I am not a planner and I needed someone to ask the questions that I hadn’t even thought of. 100% hire her!!!!

Nicole is one of the best! She will make sure you are covered even when you don't know what's going on. Month-of coordination is a must in my opinion after working with her. She wa...
s responsive, considerate, professional, and acted with urgency. She helped develop a timeline and provided her input based on past experience, she coordinated the rehearsal, ensuring everyone knew their placement and walking order, she set up all of the decorations/table settings, and she made sure the timeline stayed on track. Make sure your coordinator and photographer talk and know when to take over the timeline. Different vendors have different roles, don't assume everyone knows! Nicole was simply indispensable; I cannot thank her enough! She comes with years of experience not only as a wedding planner but as a venue coordinator. She has a wealth of knowledge and connections in the Portland, OR Metro area and will make sure everything is correct. On the day of the wedding, the rental company sent the incorrect napkin colors, and I said something.... less than 30 mins later the correct napkin colors were delivered. I was SO relieved and happy. Hire Nicole! I promise you won't regret it.

Nicole was absolutely amazing! We hired her month-of service for our wedding it was a necessity! Nicole's attention to detail was unmatched. After our first meeting I knew we were ...
in safe hands. She is kind, realistic and creative. She worked her butt off to execute all of my wedding day visions. She took over sole communication with my vendors which was such a blessing. My wedding day was the best day of my life because I was able to enjoy it and not worry about anything. Literally I did not have to do a thing. 5 stars is not enough to express how much everyone needs Nicole at their wedding or event.

commend. We met with her on zoom prior to wedding. I thought I was very well organized but Nicole asked so many thoughtful things I had not thought of. She came to our venue for a walkthrough prior to wedding and coordinated with all our venues. Everything was so seamless, I can’t express enough how thankful I am for Nicole. I had NO stress my wedding day and I know this is because Nicole is so good at her job. Highly recommend!

We had Nicole as our wedding coordinator for our wedding a few weeks ago. From the beginning, Nicole helped made us feel like we were good hands. She is whip smart, and was able to...
anticipate everything that might come up and keep us on track. She was patient with my many questions, and thought of tons of things I hadn't, which helped us be ready on the day. In the month leading up to the wedding, she handled a number of vendor issues that otherwise would have taken a lot of my time and energy. The wedding itself went beautifully and seamlessly, and as the bride, I was able to enjoy myself completely and focus on my guests instead of worrying about details or logistics. If you are having anything more elaborate than a backyard barbeque wedding, you should have a wedding coordinator, and you could do no better than to hire Nicole.

As a bride planning most of my big day by myself. When Nicole entered the picture a month before my wedding I was so relieved! There’s so many things I didn’t think of that she tho...
ught of for me and brought to my attention. I paid the extra to have her for a longer period of time and help out with rehearsal. For those of you on the fence about doing that, just do it! It’s just so worth it. She set up the majority of my decor, cake display, and packaged everything up at the end of the night! Not to mention when things were behind schedule or things got moved around she was flexible and managed to keep it all organized and flow so well. A huge thank you to Nicole for putting my mind at ease on my special day ❤️

working with Nicole on countless weddings, I've witnessed her handle it all. From minor floral fixes, to crisis mode, she handles everything seamlessly and will keep your mind at ease on one of the biggest days of your life. She is honestly one of the easiest coordinators I have ever worked with while still embodying a strong, commanding presence that can make anything happen!!

I cannot say enough about Nicole. As a guy the thought of planning a wedding, or even assisting my wife in the process, was an overwhelming prospect. We were referred to Nicole by ...
our venue and we are so thankful for that. Nicole covered every possible aspect of our wedding from color coordination to seating to vendors, centerpieces and flowers. Nicole brought up details that my wife and I never would have thought of like an emergency kit which came in handy when the bow tie strap broke for one of my groomsmen. She sewed it up like a pro just before picture time. Without Nicole we just wouldn’t have been able to relax and enjoy our special day. Do yourself a favor for what should be one of the most memorable days of your lives and hire Nicole.

She was able to keep certain crazy family members in check day of to make sure I had no drama at my wedding. Besides that she managed the entire day from beginning to end flawlessly. I cannot recommend her enough. I hired Nicole for partial planning and design.
