I would 110% recommend Nicole for your event planning needs. She was our month of coordinator for our May 2022 wedding and she really exceeded our expectations.
From our first me...
eting I knew she could be trusted with the vision we had for our wedding and that she would make our dream wedding come true. Nicole is organized and has created wonderful relationships with vendors which makes the planning process go a lot smoother. Our wedding day was perfect and Nicole was a large part of this! I had multiple guests comment afterwards how organized and well planned our wedding was and that was all thanks to Nicole. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator you will not regret hiring Nicole! She is simply the best and will let you relax and enjoy your big day without having to worry about anything!
I got married on November 6, 2021 and Nicole was my month-of coordinator! I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator! I only had her help for the month before my wedding and sh...
e got up to speed quickly on my wedding plans and vision. She helped me make some important decisions about my timeline and venue set-up. Having her expert opinion to trust was so helpful when you're a bride and having to make so many decisions every day! On the day of the wedding, she was exactly what I needed. Whenever I had a question, or wondered where something was, or if something had been done, she was already on it! She knew what I was going to ask before I even asked her! She was attentive during the reception and made sure everything went according to the plans and timeline. I didn't worry about a thing knowing Nicole was there! I would highly recommend Nicole to any and all brides who are looking for a coordinator they can trust with their most special day.
We hired Nicole to be our month-of coordinator and she was AMAZING . She was easy to work with and patiently answered the tons of questions we had leading up to our wedding, even b...
efore she officially took on the role of coordinator. She helped us rework the timeline just 2 weeks prior to the wedding so that we could add in a small Korean ceremony last minute. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about anything and she even helped us pack up all of the little personalized items we had brought in so that my sister could easily take them home. She went above and beyond our expectations for the day and we are so grateful for her help!
I was a COVID bride and literally had no idea where I was getting married and had no venue for the reception weeks leading up to our date. But Nicole made sure that regardless wher...
e/what we would be doing that it would still be very special. She sent me links to different cute air bnbs, helped me visualize the dinner set up, and offered to pick up everything so my family or I wouldn't have anything to worry about. She had endless ideas. I love her style and I knew if something were to go wrong she would make sure to have a solution. My maid of honor left my garter on the party bus so when it was time for the garter dance Nicole saved the day! My husband and I may have drank a little too much that taking photos at the photobooth did not even cross our minds. We're thankful that Nicole noticed and took us to the photobooth. If you want to be worry free on your big day, Nicole will not disappoint!!!
Long story short, Nicole was amazing.
We had to completely change up our wedding plans due to COVID 2 months prior, and with that we realized we needed some help with the details ...
and day of. We found Nicole after searching for month of coordinators and immediately I was struck by the design elements of her events. They were beautiful! That really set her apart and when we went with her, she delivered! I told her my vision and what I already had to work with, and she ran with it. On the day of our wedding, I didn’t have to worry about one thing, it was more beautiful than I could have imagined, and everything went so smoothly (honestly perfectly). We are so grateful we found Nicole to help make our wedding exactly what we were hoping for!
Nicole was the best. She put me at ease, even when I'm a bit of a control freak (in general) and had no idea what I wanted for my wedding. She was patient, kind, and willing to cal...
l me one late night to assuage all my fears about timeline. She walked me through how things would go, made sure every topic and question I never thought of was answered, and made it feel like the most easy-going day of my life. I'm so thankful for her and her unbelievable skill. Everything went down without issue as far as I could tell (and that really is a true telling of her skill!). Highly recommend. You won't regret it and it will feel like your friend ran your wedding (except with all the experience and calm to know you're dealing with a pro) in the best possible way. Our day wouldn't have been the same without her and it was the best day of our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Nicole was so organized and stayed focused the entire day. The day before our wedding was chaotic and truly overwhelming. Nicole took the time to take me away remind me to take a m...
inute for myself. Our wedding decor came together beautifully and she executed the exact vision we wanted for our special day!
Words cannot express how helpful and beyond exceptional Nicole was to me and my husband. When I first started learning about the wedding industry I thought wedding event planners w...
ere only for huge and extravagant weddings. My husband and I knew we wanted a small and intimate wedding because it's what we could afford plus a big wedding just wasn't part of our "vision". Yet, when you get engaged nothing prepares you for how overwhelming it can be even when it's a small guest list!
Nicole came into my life when I was immersed in confusion about what type of wedding I wanted, costs, vendor selections, etc. After my first connection with her, I felt so relieved from stress because she was able to help organize my vision and provide me with valuable feedback and recommendations. She was instrumental in helping my vision come together from a coordination/procedure and day-of assistance standpoint. She is the perfect fit for any bride (and husband) because of how incredibly easy and fun she is to work with. Any time I had a question or needed advice she responded to me in a timely manner and she also checked in with me frequently leading up to my big day.
On the day of the wedding, she did an AMAZING job putting together all the decor and helping out with any last-minute touches to my reception. On top of this, she went above and beyond to make sure all of my vendors stayed on schedule and delivered on expectations.
Thank you for all your efforts for me and my husband's wedding day. It was PERFECT and no one makes events sparkle better than you can.
Nicole was so wonderful to work with. Very positive and easy every step of the way. She prioritizes her clients specific requests. She never missed a call and always texted me back...
right away. My husband Tim and I appreciated everything she did for our wedding it was such an amazing night! Our vision was made to reality beyond our imagination and it’s all because of Nicole. We had a total crisis less than two weeks out with our venue. Unbeknownst to us, the venue built a partial roof right where we were supposed to have our ceremony and inconveniently informed us about it less than two weeks til our wedding. When I saw the roof I seriously cried. I just thought it was so fugly! It was a total nightmare because the roof totally ruined our vision for our ceremony. I called Nicole crying and enraged at the same time and she just was there to listen and let me vent my disappointment and anger. I seriously didn’t anticipate this type of curve ball so near our wedding day, in all honesty I didn’t expect myself to unravel but Nicole listened and she handled it so professionally and worked with the venue to make sure they came up with a solution to make sure that they both work together to make sure my husband and I are happy with the end result. And we were so impressed with Nicole on how she just went about and beyond and in all honestly she had our backs the whole entire way because let me tell y’all, bridezilla came out of me and I was just so pissed at the fact that we were even in this pickles (all thanks to the venue). I will say that the venue should thank Nicole and my husband Tim for finding a layout that worked around the fugly roof. They both put a lot of effort to make sure I liked the layout for our ceremony.
Nicole was just on top of her game at all times always reassuring us that everything will be okay and to let her handle it all so we both just be in the moment and enjoy. And that’s what we just did and had THE best time at our wedding with our family and friends and we’re glad that Nicole was part of it because she exceeded all of our expectations, if not more!
Working with Nicole was effortless, fun, and reassuring. And we loved it!! She was easy to work with, she was available via email, text, and in person all throughout the planning ...
process. She was patient and very knowledgeable of wedding ins and outs and typical wedding traditions (i.e. father daughter dance, cake cutting, etc), which made it easy to create a program for our reception that we knew would encompass everything we wanted in a timely manner. I loved her style and I knew she had an eye for simple yet elegant, which was the vibe we wanted for our wedding. The most important thing for us to know when we worked with Nicole, was that if things didn’t go as planned or things didn’t look nice however we planned them out to be, we knew the day of our wedding Nicole would work her magic and turn things around and we’d love everything single detail. And that’s exactly how we felt when we walked into our venue and saw all the details and saw how everything just flowed nicely. Choosing Nicole was the best decision we made for our wedding! Not to mention she worked with most of our wedding vendors, so we knew off the bat that we were in great hands! We absolutely loved working with Nicole and we’re sure that you will too! :)
Nicole is the best! She helped me plan my San Francisco city hall wedding while she was in San Diego! She made sure everything was taken care of for me, and that I didn’t have to s...
tress about anything! As most of you know, SF is a hussle and bustle city, and restaurants are very tiny. But Nicole made it happen for my guests count of 48! Which is very large for a restaurant in SF. If you’re thinking of hiring her, I suggest you do now!!
My husband and I got married this past September. Nicole Manalo our wedding event coordinator went above and beyond on every little detail of our wedding! From start to finish, she...
