Nicole is truly the best wedding planner out there! I came in not knowing what I wanted and she took the time to get to know me and had a vision! She gave me the dream wedding I di...
dn't know I wanted and throughout it all, was a steadfast and level headed planner where I can bounce literally anything off of her. I would recommend Nicole over and over!!
Nicole Taylor was a phenomenal wedding planner. She is incredibly detail oriented, attentive to our needs, and has such a calming presence to her.
There wasn't a meeting where she...
wasn't writing something down. It was clear she takes her job very seriously and doesn't skip a beat.
In the initial meetings, we discussed our design style we were looking for, and she carefully listened and then suggested vendor Instagrams that matched exactly what we wanted and in our price range. I call this out because we vetted some other wedding planners that didn't listen or didn't have our best interest at heart, so it was really great to see Nicole listening to our needs.
During the big day, Nicole was always there in the background ensuring that things went smoothly and that her presence was not known. When we needed her, she was always happy to help.
Could not ask for a better wedding planner, and we would choose her ten times over.
I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for Nicole and everything she did for our wedding! From start to finish, she made our day absolutely perfect, and I wouldn’t change ...
a single thing. Every detail was beautifully coordinated, and her support and care made the entire experience beyond amazing.
Nicole is such a kind and genuine person, and we’re truly lucky to have had her by our side on our big day! Her professionalism and warmth really made a difference, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is flawless, Nicole is your person!
Thank you so much, Nicole! We are forever grateful!

Nicole came highly recommended from a friend of ours whose wedding we’d attended. We had our initial meeting with her over zoom and she followed up the next day with a fully person...
alized proposal based on what she had learned about us as a couple and our dreams for our wedding. The way she listened to and understood our vision so early in the process was indicative of the care and attention to detail we received throughout the entire process.
One question we asked her during our interview was, “What is your wedding planning superpower?” Nicole told us about how on the day of the wedding, people would often remark on how calm she was while managing a complex event. We did end up with a fairly complex wedding, yet Nicole’s presence was so calming and helped reassure us that everything would be okay.
In the 15 month process planning with Nicole, we found her responsive, easy to work with, and adaptable to the specific ways we wanted to divide responsibilities for the different parts of the process. For some items, we chose to take the lead, whereas for others we delegated them almost entirely to Nicole and she was extremely helpful in each scenario.
Nicole was also able to draw from her experience to give us vendor suggestions that we absolutely loved and fit our vision, as well as noting blind spots that would have been easy for us to overlook. It’s a testament to her skill as a planner that our wedding felt authentically personal to us and went off without a hitch.
We could tell from the beginning that Nicole was capable, a great listener, and extremely sweet, which went a long way in making our many meetings enjoyable and smooth. So much gratitude to you, Nicole!

She is kind, considerate, and passionate about her job. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone’s special day.

r wedding day was perfect!!! I truly don’t know what we would have done without her. She is so responsive and an incredible communicator. We were planning our wedding from out of state and she was so accommodating on meeting times and she always responded so quickly. She helped so much with check-ins and reminders to make sure we stayed on track for the months leading up to our wedding. I would recommend Nicole to everyone and anyone planning a wedding!! We are so so thankful for her and all the time and effort she put into planning our wedding. She is the absolute best and an absolute joy to work with!!
Nicole was a great partner from Day 1. Even operating in a coordinator role, she added a ton of value with organizational tools and advice. From all the prep work in the lead-up, t...
o troubleshooting some difficult vendors (and doing so discreetly!), to coordinating all of the puzzle pieces of the day, we truly could not have had such a special day without Nicole (and her awesome assistant). It was surreal to see all of our collective hard work in action throughout the day and will be memories we cherish for the rest of our lives.
My husband and I truly had no idea what we wanted our wedding to look like. Pair that with the fact we were planning our wedding in Monterey, CA from NYC, and we knew we needed som...
eone to help us out! And Nicole Taylor Events went above and beyond to make our dream wedding come true!!
Working with Nicole was truly a breeze. Her professionalism paired with thoughtfulness and understanding of who we are as a couple was integral throughout the entire process. She gave us direction where we needed it (which was A LOT!), while letting us plan things the way we wanted to. Leading up to our wedding, we had no qualms about anything from our vendors, to our timeline, because Nicole was always on top of it and thinking way ahead.
Her day-of execution was a sight to behold. None of us had to use our brains or lift a finger the day of because we had such confidence in Nicole and that she'd execute our vision. Not only that, but her communication leading up to, and the day of, put us at ease so we could truly enjoy our big day with our families and friends.
We are so thankful we found Nicole Taylor Events and would not hesitate to recommend her. Everything was flawless thanks to Nicole, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to be by our side throughout this entire process.
TLDR: Hire Nicole. Best money you'll spend on your wedding.
Where to start?! Nicole was a critical part of a wedding weekend that has been described as "perfect" by more people t...
han I can count! Her attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and grace under pressure made her truly invaluable.
We hired Nicole for two major events, our welcome dinner (buyout of a major restaurant with ~140 guests) and our wedding (160 guests at a private residence). She came in as our month-of coordinator and was worth every penny. In the months leading into the wedding she was available to gut check terms of our contracts, help us navigate complicated transportation, and just keep us sane through the planning process.
On the days of, Nicole and her assistant were consummate professionals and handled every detail beautifully. In one instance there was a miscommunication that resulted in one detail not being how I'd expected. I told Mary (Nicole's asst - worth her weight in gold) and she had it fixed in minutes. Weddings aren't about everything being perfect, they're about having people around you who make sh*t happen when things go wrong.
Nicole was an amazing wedding planner from start to finish. We had an unusually long engagement due to COVID, but Nicole stuck with us for every bit of our 2 year planning process!...
She provided excellent insight into the wedding process, and always was available through email or video calls whenever we had questions or updates.
On the wedding day, Nicole and her team did an amazing job executing a very tightly-packed schedule starting from the night before, where she led us through the rehearsal and even picked up a last minute request to help us mark our name cards for food service the next day. Nicole and her team made it feel like a seamless transition from the first look venue to our actual wedding ceremony venue, and they did an amazing job at flipping the room from the ceremony to reception setup while the guests were at the cocktail hour.
Nicole made the planning experience a bit more manageable with her expertise and knowledge of the process and industry, and you won’t go wrong in choosing her to help with your special day!
Nicole is so amazing! She listens to our requests and was an amazing liaison between us and our other vendors. She and her team go above and beyond for couples during the planning ...
process and the day of the wedding. She exudes kindness and professionalism and I highly, highly recommend her!
Nicole was a dream come true and we recommend her as highly as we possibly can. Nicole provided excellent help at every step in the process — the concept for our wedding, the vendo...
rs, the logistics, the final few weeks of preparation, and the day itself. She is organized, calm, easy to talk to. She makes herself available and has a deep wealth of knowledge about how to put on a successful wedding. And she could not have been more perfect at the dress rehearsal or on the day of the wedding. She is worth every penny (and frankly, much more than that) and she turned a process that we were both a bit stressed about starting into a process that we look back on very well. Call it what you want — 10/10, 5-stars, A+. Nicole is the best in the business!
We loved working with Nicole through our wedding planning process. She was always available to brainstorm with, and was always happy to provide gut checks when we weren’t sure abou...
t what choice to make. The closer we got to the wedding, the more integral she became. About a month before the wedding, Nicole realized we hadn’t discussed a couple items, and she quickly jumped in with suggestions and ideas (which were incredible). Two weeks before the wedding, she noticed that our venue had misunderstood a step in our planning, and she very quickly stepped in to rectify the situation. The week of the wedding was a breeze as she stepped in to check with our vendors and make sure everything was on track. On the big day itself, she checked in with both of us to make sure we had everything we needed and we were calm and ready to go. The wedding and reception both went off without a hitch, and we are so grateful for her help. Our experience could have been much more stressful or confusing, and instead it felt seamless. Thank you Nicole!

ules, no prior wedding planning experience, and input coming in from family left and right.
The single most impactful decision we made that resulted in our perfect wedding was our decision to work with Nicole as our wedding planner.
From our first phone call with Nicole, we could tell how genuine she was about her business. Nicole is welcoming, approachable, understanding, and worked well with our tendency to get overwhelmed and need some encouragement. We looked forward to our calls with Nicole because she clearly laid out each step of the planning process and how best to accomplish it. Outside of our calls, Nicole would respond promptly in a detailed and understandable way to each part of our emails. She often checked in on us and kept us on track. Nicole is the exact personality of someone who can handle the million tiny details of a wedding and make it look easy. We especially appreciated her assistance organizing everything in her online program Aisle Planner. She worked closely with us to build a minute-by-minute schedule we could use and send to our families and wedding party. She contacted our vendors beforehand and made sure everyone knew the timeline.
Nicole came out to tour our venue at the Berkeley Brazilian Room. She took charge and asked all the right questions to confirm we would have what we needed the day of our wedding. She took down details about the floor plans to help make mock ups of the room. She was a confident and prepared presence. She led our wedding rehearsal and efficiently and painlessly prepared everyone in our wedding party.
The day of the wedding, Nicole came and checked in on the wedding party in their getting ready rooms. She made sure the wedding party was ready to go. She even pinned on the groomsmen’s boutonnieres!
Nicole orchestrated over a dozen vendors to ensure our venue was perfectly set up like we discussed. It was so incredibly beautiful. We were so grateful that she had all of the vendors’ contact information, knew when they would arrive, and she handled any last minute challenges that popped up. Everyone was so appreciative of that! Both sides of our families said that they were able to relax during our wedding thanks to Nicole. She and her day-of assistant Mary even came with an earpiece com-system so they could talk back and forth to coordinate things without disturbing the event. It was each little thing, down to her “just in case” kit that I needed in the getting ready room that made me feel so taken care of, I just knew no one else could have been who Nicole was for us throughout this entire process.
Thanks to Nicole’s excellent work, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our beautiful dream-come-true wedding. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole to my friends and family! You won’t regret working with Nicole, she’ll forever be a friend of the family!

g to plan. She brought new ideas that we hadn’t even thought about to make sure the day was reflective of us as a couple. She had great tools that made the planning process easy and help us stay organized. She also coordinated with our vendors to make sure the day was seamless. For anyone on the fence of hiring a wedding coordinator, just do it and hire Nicole. Not only is she a great wedding coordinator, she’s an even better person with a really kind heart! We are so thankful for Nicole and all she did to help make our day really special.
I hired Nicole in Sept/Oct. for month of planning for my April wedding. Nicole was organized, professional, sincere, honest, and kind - all the things you want when planning a wedd...
ing. One of the things I valued most about having Nicole as my wedding planner, was that she brought innovative ideas and suggestions to things I was willing to let go of - it showed she wasnt there to just tick off boxes but she put thought and heart into it. She wanted to make sure my fiance and I had the wedding of our dreams. Throughout the wedding planning process Nicole had templets, timelines, websites, organized calls, site visits etc all the things my type A brain loved. There was not one thing she missed. She was able to connect with all my vendors seamlessly and really created the ease to my wedding day. This review cannot express how amazing Nicole is and even though I will not be planning another wedding anytime soon, if I did, I would call Nicole in a heartbeat to be my planner again.
Thank you Nicole! Thank you Thank you!!
Nicole is incredible! She is amazingly talented and skilled. She did the most exquisite job at making sure our wedding day unfolded beautifully. I found myself speechless when I ca...
ught my first glimpse of our ceremony and reception decor and how perfectly to made my wedding dreams come to life. Nicole is very detail oriented and organized. She is kind, professional, punctual, supportive, responsive and flexible when last minute plans need to change. I would hire Nicole again in a heartbeat for special events in the future and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help make their wedding day perfect. Nicole and her assistant arrived perfectly on time, set up everything, cleaned up everything and had perfect management of time. Thank you Nicole for sharing your talent with us and playing such a huge role in making our wedding day so incredibly beautiful and memorable!! I could not have coordinated our wedding day without you and I’m so grateful I didn’t have to. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further! Nicole is the best and any bride is lucky to have her by their side.
I cannot thank Nicole enough for going above and beyond for our wedding! Covid gave us such a wild ride and Nicole was there to help us steer through everything. I'm talking multip...
le venue changes, date changes, vendors pulling out, and everything in between. Nicole approached everything with a calm demeanor and helped us through some pretty tough times. I'm happy to say, were were able to have the wedding of our dreams despite all of the setbacks and we could not have done that without Nicole. She and her team pulled off a seamless day and worked so well with all of our vendors, she made sure every detail was in place and insured that I, the bride, was comfortable, happy ,and focused on only one thing- walking down the aisle and marrying my love. Thank you again Nicole for everything!
