Nova Events by Greta McNebb

en the road became bumpy once or twice along the way. With her extensive catering background, my chef wife felt extremely confident in her ability to oversee back of house execution when necessary to ensure top notch service for our very big wedding in a somewhat logistically complex venue. She also brought an INCREDIBLE team with her - we had bridal attendants who steamed dresses and seemed to have the answer to every question before we could even ask it. Completely helped us relax and enjoy getting ready without the added stress of coordinating family members! She and her team members were also present with us throughout the night, always there to hand off a drink, blot my sweaty face before a photo, or find my temporarily missing engagement ring! Greta and her team totally executed my vision, 700 lit candles and all. Our wedding night was an absolute dream, in no small part thanks to Nova Events. I only wish we could do it all again! P.S. Have to mention that as a gay couple in south Florida, vendor / planner shopping felt cumbersome at times, as many industry figures at the time were using only Bride/Groom language, and/or only featuring cis-het couples on their pages. Nova Event’s Instagram has always been an inclusive page. At our first zoom meeting, I pointed out to Greta how I appreciated seeing photos of all kinds of couples on her page, as I had been having a bit of a difficult time feeling like we were finding someone who actually wanted to work with a gay couple, let alone someone who already had worked with a gay couple. I casually mentioned that some vendors would put a little rainbow emoji in their bio to signify that all are welcome. After our meeting, I was browsing her page again and noticed that she added a rainbow. It may seem insignificant to some, but to us the acknowledgment, representation, and respect was huge. We love you, Greta!!!

ople, we ran into issues finding someone willing to dedicate the same level of care as a 200 person wedding, but wouldn't charge us the price of planning a larger wedding. Then we found Greta at Nova Events. She offered us everything we wanted: a package just for couples wanting a wedding with less than 50 people, one-on-one communication and dedication to making our dream wedding come true, and she brought her light and energy to everything we did together. We worked closely with her and Lesley to talk through everything and anytime something came up, they both offered immediate and concrete solutions. Lesley found us a stunning venue that was perfect for 30 people (a rarity in New York!) and Greta organized everything so we could just enjoy the day. I was a very hands-on bride, with ideas about everything, and they both took it in stride, going above and beyond to make sure I was happy with how everything turned out. The day of, I was surprisingly nervous, and was so grateful Lesley was there by my side, comforting me the entire day, while Greta set everything up beautifully at the venue. I never once felt like the service they provided was “less than” the attention they would give a larger wedding, and would highly recommend them if you’re trying to do a smaller wedding, but care deeply about the details. Greta has a deep knowledge and relationship with many vendors and Lesley can find just about anything you want, plus she won’t rest until you’re happy with the result. Thank you Nova Events team!

she was our visionary, our friend, our cheerleader, our problem solver, our therapist, our savior. She is so incredibly attuned to detail, creative, and knowledgeable that she made all of the tricky and difficult parts of wedding planning a breeze. She finds a solution to any problem that comes up. You can trust her to not just accomplish any aspect of the planning process but to supersede your expectations by 100-fold. She is a tireless worker behind the scenes and was incredibly organized, available, and responsive to our many questions. Words cannot convey how much we love Greta, hiring anyone else to be your planner would be the biggest mistake of your life.

azing. She helped us with every detail, calmed our fears, and laughed with us at some of the crazy things that happen with wedding planning. On the wedding day, Greta and her team were simply unbelievable. They had EVERYTHING under control - even me when I thought I left my daughter’s shoes behind (2 hours away). Greta calmly told me to go get dressed and sent one of her team to check the car - while simultaneously making a plan in case I did leave them. She greeted and chatted with our guests (who all LOVED her) while managing the timing of the day, 18 bridal party members, wedding vendors, and a complete set-up and flip of the room from ceremony to reception. She is the sweetest, most kind and caring event planner we could ever have hoped for. Most importantly, she ‘got it.’ She knew exactly what my daughter wanted and brought it all to life. I literally cried when I saw the venue all set up for the first time. It was STUNNING! My daughter says her wedding day was everything she wanted and more. You just can’t get any better than that. Greta is simply the best and we have made a friend for life.

own on multiple occasions. My now husband and I got Covid just days before our original wedding date and Greta sprung into action and helped us reschedule with all of our vendors and guests. When our day finally came, it was nothing but perfect (despite the 98 degree weather.) Greta and her assistants Monica, Christy and Chris made sure every little detail was perfect while being professional and seamless. They were really there for my husband and I and I cannot thank Greta and her team more. The only way to describe this team is ABOVE AND BEYOND.

owledge on NYC wedding vendors was such a win, we'll be forever thankful for her guidance throughout the entire wedding process. Greta and her team made sure to keep us on track throughout the months before the wedding day with planning and securing vendors while making it such a seamless and stress-less experience! We love Greta and her team and would work with them again in a heartbeat!

le wedding planning process. On the day of the event, we couldn't have asked for things to run smoother. Nova Events made everything so seamless and easy, and did not miss one single detail (I'm not even exaggerating). I would tell any bride and groom to bring them on immediately! Thank you endlessly Nova Events!!

and had to plan two of my daughters weddings within one year, I knew I needed to find someone that knew what they were doing! Thank gosh I found Greta! Both of my daughter’s had completely different visions and expectations for their day. Because of Greta, both of them got their dream weddings, even though one of my daughter’s had less than 4 months to plan a wedding with over 200 guests. We could never have gotten it done without Nova Events. I wanted someone to help me that was super experienced, had attention to detail, and would make sure my daughter’s weddings were exactly what they always wanted. Nova Events more than surpassed all of my expectations, and went above and beyond to ensure my daughters day was perfect. Greta was a God send, and I could never have done it without her. Her vendor recommendations were the best, she has impeccable taste, and I can’t imagine anyone else being more dedicated to her clients, more organized, or more knowledgeable than her. If you want to be able to really enjoy your wedding season, and not be overwhelmed by all the thousands of details, hire Greta! She has a way of planning that breaks everything down, to where if you just follow her lead, you can actual enjoy the process. I am so grateful for all she did for my girls, and after working with her this last year planning both my daughter’s weddings, I now consider her more than just one of our vendors, she is a definitely a dear friend.

edding cakes, yes multiple, the day of the wedding. She helped with payments, checklists, scheduling, coordination…she even helped with my wedding shoe choices—and you bet there were a lot of them. I’m not exaggerating when I say I’m a complete control freak. But Greta’s attention to detail and cool-calm-collected-ness would make any OCD bride happy. She answered every text no matter the time of day. She sourced special vendors for us for florals and music. And when my brother-in-law showed up on our wedding day wearing a heinous pair of socks, she offered to run out to buy him new ones. That’s dedication. Chrystie, the bridal attendant, held my hand (literally and figuratively) all day. Plus, we just loved having her energy around us. She put me at ease and that’s a tall ordering considering I’m anything but easy. I didn’t think I needed a wedding planner. But without Greta and her team, our day would not have been possible.

ew us and our vision so well that she asked only if we needed anything and if we were having fun. We could not have had the magical event we had without her!

always there when it counts and are such sweethearts about making sure you and your vendors have everything necessary to make your event an unforgettable experience! From curating the right vendors for your personal style, to building an ideal timeline, and executing the vision flawlessly on the big day, you can count on Greta and her team! Always a honor working with Nova Events! Your friendly neighborhood photo and video ninjas, Jose & Jess - La Vie Studios www.laviestudios.com

ks while keeping herself and her couples cool and at ease. She knows how to guide her couples into a wedding plan that is both realistic and exceeds expectations! You won’t regret having her drive the wheel on your wedding day!

d a fantastic job from start to finish recommending and coordinating with vendors (all on fairly short notice) and keeping the entire process organized. The day of coordination alone was worth her very reasonable rates and made us be able to enjoy the day without any distractions or stress. Highly recommend!

with and could truly entrust. Highly, highly recommend!

does and within a short amount of time, you will feel like you've known her forever. Greta really cares about what you want and creating your vision for you. I really don't have enough good things to say about Nova Events!

ful events. She was kind, organized, and guided us through the chaos of wedding planning with empathy. Our wedding was absolutely perfect -- exactly as we hoped. She really brought our vision to life. Nothing shined more than the organization and calmness she brought on our wedding day. She was so on top of every little detail, and we were able to completely enjoy our day. We can't recommend Nova Events enough!

nal events with deeply personal touches. Never fear when Greta is near!!! She will make sure your wedding/party/event is taken care of like no other. She is also beloved by her staff and team - which says a lot about who she is as a boss and human. Phenomenal woman and planner!!!

r a "micro-wedding." Greta was really thoughtful on all the details and her extensive planning skills were on display at every point in the process. She was responsive to any questions we had, proactive and forward-looking to avoid any last minute crunches, and helped make everything flow smoothly. With COVID planning, she was also very thoughtful about safety and helped ensure we set everything up in a way that was socially distanced, had hand sanitizer stations, etc. Greta was so great to work with and is sure to give your special day a turbo boost if you bring her on board!

ves for excellence and accomplishes all things above and beyond!! Considering all the strange happenings around this wedding, you were a calming force for Daphne... and as her mom, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Sending you a great big hug!! MOB

ce and knew she would deliver! Everything went smooth and I had a great wedding which I was actually able to eat, dance and enjoy.
