NORA Events

organized an in person meeting so that we could meet and talk about my wedding face to face. She was so organized and helped create exactly what I envisioned for our rehearsal, welcome party, and wedding. She has amazing design and style and shared ideas that we incorporated to make every detail perfect! She was so communicative in the months leading up to our wedding to help ensure everything was planned perfectly. On the day of the wedding, the team was flawless and professional, ensuring everything went according to the timeline that she created. She was always close by which made me feel so comfortable the morning of the wedding day. She also went above and beyond by capturing behind the scene video and photos of our entire wedding weekend, and they are honestly some of my favorite photos/videos. She is so talented and attentive, I can’t recommend her enough - she was absolutely crucial to making our day go smoothly. Thank you Michelle + team!!

uch all of my selections/vendors booked. I thought I don’t need a coordinator! What do I need a coordinator for? Boy was I wrong! Working with NORA events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Michelle is organized, efficient, communicative, and has so many connections, resources, and ideas that helped us create our dream wedding. Our day would not and I repeat WOULD NOT have gone as smoothly as it did without the help of NORA events. We had a small wedding (60 guests) and no wedding party so I thought we don’t need a rehearsal, what do I need a rehearsal for? Again, boy was I wrong! Michelle helped coordinate everything for our rehearsal adding a level of comfort ahead of the big day. She even designed a mini version of our wedding decor for the rehearsal dinner so the whole weekend was cohesive just as I had envisioned. On the day of, Christine was there with Michelle which was so helpful to have the added assistance. Michelle and Christina made us feel so special throughout the day, making sure absolutely everything was taken care of. They even took “behind the scenes” shots throughout the day so we could enjoy some glimpses of our day while we wait for our professional photos to come back (such a special touch!). It was truly a dream weekend for us and I cannot recommend NORA events enough. I can’t believe there was a time I thought I could do it all without her and her team. Thank you NORA Events!

n Chicago. Michelle took on the challenge of planning our wedding in Madison, Wisconsin. From the beginning of planning she was always true to our vision and to ourselves. On the day of we ran ahead of schedule because of their great communication with all the vendors involved. Their attention to detail is what sets them apart. Everything came together perfectly because of the high standards they set for themselves.

on continued with the same energy, warmth, respect for our wishes and traditions. I had a scattered vision about the wedding and their team helped me put it together and find the right vendors. My now husband and I had some different ideas and family traditions and NORA events helped us blend them and come up with something amazing. Our families and friends were extremely happy and enjoyed every bit of our wedding thanks to all the attention. Forever grateful - thank you from a busy couple who could have not achieved a wedding like that without your team.

ng crumble under this planner and her teams direction. They lack adequate communication skills, and were extremely rude and disrespectful to the bridal party, guests, mother and father of the bride, and vendors. She completely disregards family/cultural traditions, so if you have a traditional wedding, steer VERY clear. The planner knew it was a traditional wedding but did not inquire, listen, or accommodate for anything outside of the average modern wedding that she forced upon a traditional couple. There were so many sentimental and traditional elements that were completely disregarded. She contacted our stylists, photographer, and videographer a week before the wedding with a last minute schedule change all for “robe photos” which the bride had never even requested. She assumed “all was well” when she had zero confirmation the day before the wedding. Vendors had voiced that she had harassed them throughout the process. This caused unnecessary stress and panic among the bridal party and stylists whom we have prior experience with and know are very professional and efficient. She rushed hair styling and makeup for a robe photo shoot. One of the bridesmaids only had half of her hair styled with the other half unstyled and was demanded to get into the photo. She tried to rush the makeup artist and one of the teammates tapped the makeup artists hand to communicate with her while she was applying eyeliner on the bride. The mother of the planner who is a teammate was in the background of all of the families photos/videos recording the wedding for her own advertisement instead of helping out the bridal party, she was falling asleep during the limo ride to the ceremony. The team was speaking in their language and snickering in the bride’s home the entire time causing us to feel uncomfortable and unsure as to what was going on and what the plan was. At the venue the singer and his band did not have lighting on their stage the entire time and there was miscommunication between the planner and the singer. She needed to be reminded and redirected throughout the entirety of the wedding. I am very dissatisfied with not just how unprofessional this planner and her team was, but how completely inconsiderate she was of sentimental moments. It was these special moments that were ruined, along with the unecessary stress my sister, our family, the bridal party, and our vendors went through and the sadness my mother felt on her daughter’s special day because of this planner that forced me to write this review. Save your money and your wedding, do not book this planner.

nd it did. She really knows what she is talking about and is able to point you in the right direction while still listening to everything you want. Its also a bonus that she is the sweetest ever! 10/10.

business. With each detail, Michelle was able to give her opinion and guidance, while also making sure each aspect was uniquely ours. We were very confident going into our wedding day because of Michelle. During our wedding and celebration days, she made us feel comfortable, took behind the scenes pictures and videos to share with us afterwards, and made sure every item at our venue that was important to us - made it back to us. Thank you Michelle and team (Christina, you rock!). You made our wedding dream come true.

the wedding making sure my vision came to life. She NAILED IT! Michelle's quick thinking and problem solving is everything you want a coordinator to have. I am so happy to have had Michelle and her team apart of our special day! ❤❤❤

with pre-planning starting a month before. Throughout the process Michelle was very responsive and helpful with all details. Onsite the day of Christina, Lisette and Nora were wonderful, everything went flawlessly!

a magnificent celebration. With their experience we were able to relax and enjoy. We couldn't have done it without them.

ation then, and I trusted her, and of course she was right! Next, she coordinated everything month of extremely professionally and was always asking if there was anything else we needed. She was beyond helpful during that time. Last, was the day of, and holy cow Michelle and her team coordinated the best day ever for us!! They were professional, kind, talented, resourceful, and answered any and all questions we had. I cannot recommend Nora Events for wedding plan more. They are the best!

d to make a few major changes and she was quick to pivot and go along with a new game plan. The party was beautiful- better than I imagined! Her mother also came to help and she was just as darling. They deserve all the stars and more!

r and her assistant Christina behind the scene allowed me to actually get to enjoy my daughter’s wedding. Hire her if you want to enjoy your event too!

ndor network, and is extremely organized. She has a calming, poised, strong, empowering, professional, but also fun presence. Michelle was able to respectfully represent (and stand up for) my vision to other vendors to make sure we got everything we wanted during the process. We even had to make some changes on the fly day-of and the way she executed so we didn't have to worry about things running smoothly, was so impressive and I'm so grateful. We even got the pleasure to have Nora herself working with us day of, and it was so special. There's no one else better we could have trusted to help us with our special day. We can't wait to continue to recommend Nora Events to our entire network. If you are considering booking, trust me you will be so thankful you did. Thank you Michelle & Nora!!

details”. Michelle helped me months before the wedding to make sure I had coordinated all of the vendors and helped me think of unique touches to help represent me and my husband as a couple. She helped coordinate a walk through at the venue with all of my vendors a month before the wedding to make sure everyone had what they needed before the day of. She was the perfect liaison between me and everyone and took so much of the stress of wedding planning/coordinating off my plate. I don’t know what I would have done without her and her team the day of, they were incredibly prepared brought steamers to steam the the bridesmaid dresses, tissues on hand at all times for the family and made sure everything was on time throughout the entire evening. Michelle’s service is worth every penny and such a great value for everything she does. It helped me and mom my be able to enjoy the day because her and her team took care of absolutely everything! I couldn’t recommend her and her team more!

eating a wedding timeline, and overall making sure I received what I wanted for my wedding day were just a few things that helped my wedding day run smoothly. Michelle truly cares for her clients and her passion for event planning shows throughout the whole process. Along with Michelle, the rest of her team is wonderful. Do not hesitate to hire Nora Events for your next event!

and how that influenced what we wanted for our day. Michelle made many suggestions on all of the “little things” that you don’t think of, and she was right all of the time! It has been a few weeks now since our wedding, and many of our family and friends are still telling us it has been one of the most beautiful weddings that they had ever gone to.

eat suggestions that we hadn't thought of. As mother of the bride, I had done much of the planning but I'm so glad Michelle was there on the big day. I was able to relax and enjoy one of the most important days of our lives. Michelle is the best!

ly because of her, her vendor connections, and her deep experience in managing events. I literally don't know what we would have done without her! Michelle is so kind with an infinite amount of grace under pressure. She handles every human dynamic beautifully - nervous parent, nervous couple, etc. She eased all of our concerns. Michelle recommended nearly all of our vendors, who were amazing, and she recommended and executed the whole design for our wedding: floral, colors, invites, favors, table design, floor plan, rented lounge furniture, welcome sign, hand sanitizing station sign, etc. Our family said it was the most beautiful wedding, invitations, etc. they had been to before, and we agree! The room was so beautiful under her vision that many people told us they wanted to move in and never leave. :) Michelle managed the detailed timeline and literally everything the day of our wedding, which gave me time to enjoy the day and soak in everything. I felt totally calm knowing Michelle had everything handled. She even helped us navigate a venue and location change due to covid closure! Michelle is an expert in wedding etiquette and modern trends, so I felt relieved that we had an expert guide for so many aspects of the bridesmaids, invites, rehearsal, ceremony, and reception traditions. We rented several beautiful items from Michelle: matching frames for our parents' wedding photos, cake stand and cake cutting utensils, so many details that made life so much easier for us. I honestly cannot imagine anyone planning a wedding without Michelle. There is so much pressure on the couple with family dynamics, budgeting, snafus - and having Michelle as our planner really made the wedding be the best day of my life. Michelle is very collaborative and was very open to ideas from me and my husband throughout the planning. She even surprised us with small touches throughout the planning and day of that really made our wedding so special. We, and everyone in our family, absolutely loved working with Michelle, and very highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding of any size!

ollowing up. What great gift ideas. I will definitely recommend these boxes to friends and will highly consider gifting these again in the future. Thanks Nora Events!

and it came with a beautiful hand poured and customized candle. So much detail and care goes into everything that she does!

ent Planner; someone you can trust and that you can identify with. Michelle is so incredible to work with; she is genuinely outgoing and warm, extremely organized and will go the extra mile to bring your vision in to life. Experience is the word that describes her better. Michelle will bring not only her expertise and excellent taste to the table but also her fresh ideas to any type of event. As photographers, communication and organization is key and every time we work with Nora Events we know for sure the day will go smoothly and that the clients will be at ease and have the time to really enjoy their celebration. The last time we worked with Nora Events was at a destination wedding in Miami. She and her assistant were on top of every single detail during the welcome reception and the day of the wedding. Planning and coordinating a wedding from out of state is not an easy task but she managed to be in contact with all the vendors and at the end bring everyone together to provide our clients with a great experience. She is a team player and you will not regret working with her ;) Juancho + Johana Juancho SC Photography

le to relax and enjoy my wedding, knowing Michelle was in the background doing her thing. Even my mom commented she didn’t think we needed a day-of planner before she met Michelle, and how her work ethic, yet personable and fun presence was such a huge help! Her attention to detail is unmatched. Thank you!!

h us every step of the way, all the way through our wedding weekend of celebrations. From the initial planning, to seating arrangements, menu decisions, keeping up with the vendors, her communication and execution was absolute perfection. Our welcome reception, wedding day, and post wedding day brunch were perfect. She helped keep me focus and enjoying the moment, by allowing me to know she had everything handled. I was the luckiest girl to have the 2 most important people standing next to me on my wedding day... my husband, and Michelle! We had a few glitches with the venue, and even though I felt too timid to say anything, Michelle stepped right in and handled it with ease, I later even found out she stepped in to a few other areas to find solutions, before I could even know there was something wrong. She was organized, creative, and highly skilled at problem solving... a true asset to any wedding team.

perfect gifts for our bridal party, handle our extensive guest list, manage the schedule for the whole day, and coordinate with all of our vendors, and that was all before the big day! The day of, she made sure everything went perfectly. If anything went wrong, we still have no idea. Our whole day was stress-free, and we got to focus on making memories of the most magical day of our lives. She even helped bustle my dress, which was no small feat! Not to mention, she is just the nicest and sweetest person ever! We are eternally grateful for her help, and we couldn't have done it without her! Thank you Michelle!!

Your day of coordinator should really make everything easy for you and that’s what she did. I knew she was in control and understood our vision for the day and didn’t have to follow up to make sure things were done as expected. Had I known the stress ahead of time in planning a wedding I would have spent the money to have her plan the entire thing! It would have been well worth it! Maybe for our vow renewals!! :) Thank you again Michelle and NORA Events!! You helped make our wedding a dream!

I went into crazy bride mode (thanks Michelle!), and accommodating us flip flopping on big decisions multiple times. When my groom lost a button on his shirt right before the ceremony, she was prepared with a needle and thread and had it fixed in minutes. What had the biggest impact on me was that she agreed to meet in person multiple times, gave us a beautifully packaged treat to express her gratitude for our business, and donated a portion of our money to a good cause. That is going ABOVE AND BEYOND in a world where many wedding vendors treat business like a big money grab. Very happy she was recommended to us!

a disaster without her. She's clearly experienced in what she does! She is organized and kept us on track with the super important items (super thankful for that). Cheers!

have asked for a better human being to lead the charge on our day. My husband and I wholeheartedly trusted her every step of the way and she helped to make our wedding absolutely perfect. Thank you, Michelle! We <3 you!

without her, or at least, we would have to had to have spent way more time dealing with vendors. We had a small miscommunication about s'mores, namely the price of them, (they were delicious but pricey) but beyond that little caveat she was amazing! I wouldn't consider choosing anyone else if doing it again. And since this was a wedding I'm planning on not doing this again.

b of bringing our vision together. She was a great resource for all of our questions and concerns. She was super organized and took so much stress off of us and my parents on the day of the wedding, making sure that all issues were resolved, everyone and everything was on time, and just making sure we were focused on each other and enjoying our day. She also did all of our floral which was absolutely beautiful. I know that our wedding day would not have been nearly as wonderful without Michelle there to coordinate everything. I highly recommend Michelle and NORA Events!!

Michella can't handle! She also has great contacts for any and all vendors in the industry. Highly recommend to any bride!

ght would be an overwhelming process went smoothly because of all the hard work that was put in to it. She is responsive to all her clients needs. She is amazing and what she does.

her attention to detail is very impressive. I appreciated her professionalism and knowledge as she always asked the right questions I would have never guessed to ask had I done the event planning myself. Event planning itself can be very stressful when you don’t know what you’re doing but Michelle did an amazing job at making planning an excited experience. My favorite part was the day of the event because I literally had nothing to do besides drink champagne all day, get ready and show up at the time she told me to. I trusted her to make everything beautiful and she exceeded our expectations. Super glad we decided to go with NORA events for our party and will recommend them to anyone we know!

to remember, to making sure the flow of the evening was perfect, she made my night, a night to remember. Michelle comes highly recommended. She is professional, actively listens to you, is kind & friendly and her execution is flawless.

ent she made sure we knew what to expect and made it clear, it’s was our day & no one else’s. We’ve never met anyone so dedicated to her craft and such eye for detail. In fact, after my makeup person never showed up Michelle rolled up here sleeves and did my make up herself!! I love her!! I’ve already recommended Nora to two friends getting married next year.

day in the San Juan Islands; a few hrs northwest of Seattle Wa. Michelle from Nora was amazing with giving us all the details necessary to make the best decisions and was always very clear and direct — never pushy. I’ve never met anyone as committed to a seamless and amazingly organized event. A few weeks after our wedding we received a wonderful letter from Michelle, thanking us for allowing Nora to be part of our special day and committed a percentage of our bill to a nonprofit organization. Hire them for your next event — I highly recommend them.

of the way so you don’t have to worry about anything! I recommend NORA Events to anyone looking for a planner for any special occasion!
