As a wedding DJ with over 8 years of experience and more than 400 events under my belt, I’ve worked with many coordinators, but Nicole Shadoan is one of the absolute BEST. We recen...tly teamed up for a client’s wedding ceremony and reception at an outdoor venue in Vista for about 175 guests. From Nicole’s first email to the bride and groom’s sparkler grand exit, she made everything seamless and stress-free for me as a DJ and MC.
Nicole is incredibly organized, sticking to the timeline and keeping vendors informed of any changes on the wedding day so we could adjust accordingly. She communicates clearly, sending detailed timelines well in advance and staying available for questions. I especially appreciate how she reviews cues and the ceremony processional order, which is critical for nailing the music—something lesser coordinators often overlook.
What stands out most is Nicole’s team-oriented approach. She strikes a perfect balance between leading and being a reliable, patient, and thoughtful team player. She treats everyone with kindness, always approachable and never micromanaging. Nicole values my professional input, making me feel heard and respected as a seasoned wedding pro. She’s quick to help if I ask, ensuring I’m fed, treated well, and taken care of.
The wedding was a blast and a huge hit with the clients, who talked to me about how everything flowed perfectly. Nicole’s poise and strategic approach prevented any issues, letting me focus on keeping announcements sharp and the dance floor high-energy.
If you’re planning a wedding, hire Nicole. She knows how to lead, support vendors, and deliver an unforgettable day. Five stars—I’d work with her again any day of the week. Highly recommend for couples wanting a true pro who can bring your wedding vision to life.
Thank you, Nicole, for everything you do, for your endless patience and kindness—I truly can’t wait to work with you again! :)
