Seasons of Dreams

ay. She was so organized and responsive. Her connections with vendors around the Twin Cities helped us get several quotes. She already had an answer to all of the questions that popped into my head throughout the planning process. On the day of my wedding, I never had to think about one detail - Nicole had it all covered! This allowed me to enjoy the day without any stress. I couldn’t have done it without her!

rience and had everything under control. As you can imagine, it took all the stress off of the wedding couple and their families. I can VERY HIGHLY recommended recommend Nicole (Seasons of Dreams) to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator to ensure your big day goes off without a hitch. I am the father of the bride and because I was so impressed with Nicole and her company, I felt compelled to write this review so that others might be able to utilize her impressive skills for their event. 10 out of 10 stars!!!

ob the day-of. She was so fun to work with and a miracle worker to keep your stress down on such a busy day!

was flawless - the couple, venue staff, and the wedding vendors were all raving about Nicole. Wedding planners make or break a wedding day - but you've got to get the right one! HIRE NICOLE. I promise you'll be so so so glad you did!

You can tell this is her passion and you will not be disappointed with her and her team! My wedding day was absolutely beautiful and it’s because Nicole worked so hard to make sure every detail was absolutely perfect! She listened to everything I wanted and executed it perfectly. I started this process looking for a wedding planner and was blessed to leave this experience with a great friend! I promise you that Nicole won’t leave you disappointed!!

on that we made for our wedding! Leading up to the wedding, Nicole was always available to help answer questions, provide advice, and attend meetings with our vendors. We had a lot of communication with her in advance of the event and the timeline she put together for us really put our minds at ease. The day of the wedding, she and her assistant made sure that everything ran smoothly - they made sure we all stuck to the timeline and ensured that everything was set up the way we had envisioned (seriously, this was incredible - we didn't have to worry about things getting set up correctly - we just enjoyed our day and knew that they had this covered). But even more importantly and amazingly, Nicole and her assistant went above and beyond to make our day just so incredibly special for us, and handled last minute issues that we weren't prepared for (the all-star moment was when my dad's shirt didn't fit correctly and they got him a new shirt in under 40 minutes, just in time for family photos - seriously amazing!). When we needed help getting my dress busselled after the ceremony, Nicole was there to help, and she brought with her a tray of all of our appetizers so we could enjoy our happy hour food while she helped with the dress (I can't emphasize how amazing this was - we were incredibly hungry and we otherwise wouldn't have been able to try the food we had picked out for the happy hour). They also organized a grand reveal of our dinner hall for us, and it was amazing to have a couple of minutes to take everything in by ourselves. They coordinated a last minute change to our schedule during the dinner service, checked in with us throughout the evening, and even set aside a box of our desserts for us so we could enjoy them later. I could go on and on about how amazing they are! But if you are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator or a day-of coordinator, I would say go for it and hire Nicole - you won't regret it and having Nicole there on our wedding day truly made all the difference in the world!

on. She was exceptional in recommending vendors who were within our budget and she knew our venue well so she had creative ideas for decor that saved us so much on the bottom line. Best wedding decision we made was to hire Nicole. And she was much more affordable than I imagined. If you want to work with the BEST, give her a call!

recommend using a planner/ day-of-coordinator to anyone planning a wedding and Nicole is the best!

wonderful team with her to help on our wedding day. From helping to manage delays in getting our invites from our paper vendor to providing recommendations and guidance on details like tux rentals, flower vendors, and even whether or not we should get party favors, it was so wonderful to have her help us as we planned our big day. And it was a comfort knowing she was there day of to help us execute our vision, manage any last minute problems or ensure we got from point A to point B on time.

me tell you. SOMETHING IF NOT MULTIPLE THINGS ARE GOING TO GO WRONG AND NICOLE SAVED US EVERY SINGLE TIME. She was with us through the pandemic, she helped us when other vendors canceled or changed plans on us last minute. She made the. day of so easy and smooth for us. She wasn't just a wedding planner but she became a friend. BY. FAR THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER IN THE STATE !!!!!!!!!

s super helpful with answering questions and tips leading up to the wedding month- like sending me gratuity recommendations, timeline templates, etc. We started working together consistently as we were approaching June- we had a lengthy phone meeting discussing my timeline, vendors, all of my decor - the gal has this down! Her level of organization was outstanding. As a stressed out bride with 10 different spreadsheets of miscellaneous things, Nicole helped bring everything together. I was feeling great going into the wedding week! Fast forward to the week of my wedding. My head was spinning off with so much decor & so many details to consider (we brought in everything to our parent's lake home so we had a ton of stuff). I texted Nicole the morning of my wedding with a list of things I forgot to do- not only did she handle all of my forgotten tasks, but she gave me SO much reassurance that everything would come together perfectly. I finally was able to relax. She is not only the best wedding planner in town, but also a great friend and an amazing listener. The day-of the wedding, her and her assistant showed up in the morning and got right to work. I wasn't onsite until after the lunch hour, but I just knew she had everything handled. Nicole and my vendor team took care of it all. Her and her assistant did SO MUCH - from setting up the champagne wall, setting up all of my decor, coordinating my vendors, making sure my ceremony was perfect- she even walked my dog halfway down the aisle because my husband forgot him. She was consistently checking in on me to make sure I was doing okay & if I needed anything. The day was PERFECT and it 100000% is all because of Nicole and her team. Hiring her was the best decision I've ever made in the wedding planning process. Looking back on the wedding day, my family still talks about how great she was. My dad always mentions "Nicole is so sweet and detailed and she can lay down the law when it's needed - it's the best combination" (i.e. when something needs to be done, she gets it done!). If you're trying to save money by not hiring a coordinator for your wedding, you will regret it. Honestly, do yourself a favor and hire Nicole!

unning her own small business

Paula who was actually with us on our wedding day. She was well-equipped with how we wanted things to go and did an awesome job! 😊

e really cared about our big day. She treated all of our family, wedding party, and guests like they were her own. During the planning stages Nicole was so helpful. We definitely had to stick to a budget and she had great ideas on how to do that while still creating an elegant look. When we didn't really know where to start, she recommended several vendors but wasn't offended if we found one of our own that we liked better. One of our main concerns was that on the day of the wedding, we just wanted to show up and enjoy the day with our daughter and soon to be son-in-law. We didn't want to fuss with setting up decor or clean up at the end of the night. Nicole and her team took care of EVERYTHING! They were amazing! On the day of the wedding she kept things running in a timely fashion. I can honestly say that I was never aware of what time it was and it didn't matter. If any of the wedding party was supposed to be somewhere she made sure they got there. I don't how she keeps track of everything that needs to happen - and she does it with a smile! She remained upbeat and enthusiastic the entire day and night! I can't think of a single thing Nicole left out. She thought of every last detail and helped create one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen. We can't thank her enough and can whole heartedly recommend Seasons of Dreams!

she made it worry free, special and ensured everything would go smoothly! She really ensures everything is done to a "T". She thought of things that I would never have thought of. She always checked on us and ensure we were okay, literally the best! Nicole also supported through the post-poning phase last year and without her, I don't know how we would have gotten through it all. She really was our rock through it all. A blessing! Best advice I got was to hire a Day of Coordinator. You will be so happy you did. I truly am so happy with how things turned out and it really was the best decision ever!! It would have not been possible without Nicole! :)

planner, which ended up being the best decision we could have made, as she assisted us through every single detail of planning and then (unfortunately) cancelling our wedding with grace and patience. Cancelling was never something we wanted, but she guided us to make our own decision and we're so glad we had her expertise and calm during what was a chaotic summer. Throughout working with Nicole we can definitely say we gained a great friend and were supported through each step of planning!

also very professional and helpful. Nicole was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. We were very thankful for her service and would highly recommend her!

t, warm, SO helpful and willing to go the extra mile with anything. This made us even more excited as we were approaching 2020. Then, COVID happened. As you can imagine, our brains were spinning and we were heart broken thinking about all the guests we’d have to notify, replan everything, etc. Nicole was literally there for me every. single. step and at any moment I needed her. This went beyond just needing her for wedding coordination type things. Nicole was a friend to us, gave us so much advice and support, listened to me basically cry at times and even helped us sort out the details of switching out wedding to a brand new date, which was within 2020 (required by our venue not by our choice). Nicole is the best at everything, literally. There was not one detail missed and she truly listens to you, which goes to show on the day of the wedding. Nicole took charge to make sure timeliness was there and everything was perfect. I truly did not have a worry going into the day of my wedding because of her and throughout my wedding day, she was by my side kindly keeping things running smoothly. She is the best of the best, and if we could give her more than 5 stars, we would😊 Nicole, if you’re reading this, we love you and cannot thank you enough!!

nges we had to make this year, including changing our venue. Nicole was a helpful hand from start to finish!

meeting and throughout the planning process. We could tell she was very organized and got down to the nitty-gritty details that we would have never thought of. The stress of planning a wedding, plus during the pandemic, was already enough on our plates and we were, and continue to be, very thankful that she took that stress off of us in being our day-of-coordinator! I think back to our day and realized I would have missed out on the precious time in the bridal suite with my bridesmaids if I had to set-up the ceremony and reception area. Our day also would not have gone as smoothly. I forgot my veil as the ceremony started (yikes!) and Nicole mitigated the problem very well by having my husband walk down our dogs separately. It bought us some time to run up to the room and snag my veil! My husband and I both really appreciated her giving us time together to walk through our reception ballroom all decked out before any of our guests. She even consulted my mother to approve of the layout! We were able to take the time as a couple to walk through the ballroom and see how beautiful our flowers, decor, and tables looked. I loved the way she organized our guestbook table too; she definitely has a good “eye” at what looks beautiful! I also appreciate Nicole consulting me about little things the day of such as asking us if we wanted to switch the seating at the head table to coordinate with the mr. and mrs. sign. The only bummer is I wished my husband’s step-dad received his boutonniere. It somehow was missed when my husband and I were doing photos and having that second-eye to catch that would have helped but honestly, since that is one of the only thing’s that were missed, I am very grateful! Thank you so so much Nicole and Paula! :)

wedding party. They helped make our busy day run smoothly and we were thrilled to have them with us.

and closest friends. We are foodies and love the European style dinning and celebrations. Nicole was a perfect fit for us. She took the feelings we wanted to create and turned them into reality with the physical details of the day and flow of the celebration. Every step along the way she filled in details and made it all a reality. She was patient and pushed us when we needed it to, but honestly it always felt natural and as if we were her life long friends. My suggestion is to interview at least three planners. We did and it was immediate to feel the difference. Nicole is terrific!

wedding and then made sure everything ran smoothly that day. Highly recommend her for future destination couples looking for a planner.

big day. We got married on a (surprisingly snowy!) October weekend at the St Paul Athletic Club. She met with us a few times leading up to the event, attended our rehearsal dinner, and came super early the day of our wedding to be on site. This was the perfect level of interaction to keep us on task without being another 'vendor'. She was a partner through the process! While planning we had several ideas of how to make our party engaging and fun and she helped us focus those into actual details that ended up being memorable (a unique guest book idea, feedback on the layout of the reception). She knows how parties run and where she can add the most value. For example, at the end of the night she had neatly packed all our materials/cards/gifts/getting ready stuff in our hotel room so we could just leave worry-free! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to keep wedding planning pleasant and the party to be focused on having fun and celebrating with your family and friends. She's a pro and she's super warm and friendly, thank you Nicole for making my and Dan's day so happy and memorable.
