together. She was tremendous in service, anticipated our needs and made this the exact event we wanted - in some aspects even when we didn't know it (:-)). Everything went well. She had great ideas and executed flawlessly. We unconditionally recommend Nicole and her firm. Kathryn and Duncan Stuart

res I'd found on pinterest, etc, always willing to answer a list of anxious questions (regardless of the frequency with which this occurred as a result of myself or my mother). I will say that Nicole is busy, which I say speaks to how good she is...she's in demand! This meant there were times early on in the planning (we are talking a year or so out) where it might be a few days or week before I heard back on a call or email because she was busy with events happening that weekend but I always always heard back. As we got closer to my event Nicole's attention was all on my event and there was no wait at all for a call back or email back (think of it like the wedding version of hospital triage). Nicole took the time needed to understand what I really wanted and together we built a picture of what would turn into my dream wedding. The day of, Nicole and her team built an insanely beautiful elegant rustic orchard wedding. From the wooden harvest tables, to mismatched china, and mason jar lanterns, this team had my vision down. I could hardly believe my eyes when I got to the venue for my "first-look" with my now husband. I should emphasize this was my dream wedding on my budget. In addition to her creative vision and artistic ability, Nicole was also more than willing to sit down and look at the numbers, making very helpful suggestions about where to focus spending and potentially cut costs. I was also incredibly impressed by the vendors Nicole works closely with the quality was excellent (in fact the only vendor that I was unimpressed with was one I found myself!)! Nicole knows her vendors and she coordinated with each and every one of them to execute my big day. Finally, I cannot imagine what my wedding day might have looked like without Nicole's cool head and organization. Due to absolutely no fault of Nicole's there was a potential problem in having my table and chairs delivered the day of my wedding (fantastic wooden tables and antique chairs I might add). That's right...there was a small portion of time when my wedding was thought to be table and chairless. Nicole calmly and speedily worked together a back-up plan, informed my mother of what was going on, and I didn't even know about it until crisis was averted (and my amazing chairs and tables were safely delivered). Instead I got to have a carefree morning of primping with the ladies in my bridal party. A wedding day can be stressful enough...you want Nicole's cool head, fast thinking, and sensible nature by your side!! (Note: If you want to be informed of such things Nicole will absolutely tell you...I personally completely appreciated not being informed until we knew for a fact the chairs/tables were or were not coming...nothing I could do to be helpful while getting my hair done!). Not to mention she was the first person to bring me a drink, made sure I ate, and saved me pie!!!!!!!!!!! I would absolutely recommend Elegant Events (and already have to two girlfriends planning weddings in the area).

the ceremony. She was great at handling the big stuff but took our direction and incorporated the personal touches we wanted. Her experience in this business really shows through with all of the details - like fixing the groom's pocket square and making sure we had mirrors available during photos. It was so nice to know that she had EVERYTHING covered so we could just enjoy our day. If we had any last-minute problems, I didn't know about it, which is about the best compliment a bride can give. :)

rocess just because he was so far away. The one thing that he did contribute however, was the idea of a wedding coordinator, and then finding Elegant Events and convincing me to have a preliminary meeting with Nicole. I didn't think we needed a coordinator, especially at the extra cost, but looking back, our wedding day would have been a complete disaster without Elegant Events. She helped me every single step of the way, having never been really into weddings, I was unsure of the way things were "supposed" to go or what was traditional, professional, etc. She never once made me feel stupid for asking what I'm sure were some really dumb questions. Our decorations in our reception tent were beautiful and I'm not sure I can take any of the credit for it. Nicole has a great eye, and helped me pull everything together for the look I wanted on our big day. She kept everything on track for the rehearsal and was in touch with all of the vendors the week of the wedding; everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when. It took a huge load off of my shoulders. On the wedding day, Nicole and her team spent the majority of the day setting up the reception tent in the 90 degree heat. When the bartenders didn't come with the mixers, she fixed it. When the pizza ovens weren't working and we were behind schedule, she took care of it, while I was pretty much oblivious. She even arranged transportation for my wedding party and anyone else who needed it back to the hotel when the cab service I had contacted didn't work out. Elegant Events is no less than amazing, easy to work with and will make any event a hit :)
