Nicole was EXACTLY what I was looking for in a day-of coordinator. She worked with me a couple weeks before the wedding which certainly helped to make sure the event went smoothly and she understood my vision. Most importantly, I wasn't worried about a thing on my wedding day. After she and I met, I had handed off any of my worries to her and I was blissfully unaware of anything that was less than perfect for the rest of the day. It helped me, my groom, my mom, my MOH, and everyone else to just relax and have fun. We knew, whatever it was, Nicole had it handled. Even for those on a tight budget, I would argue that you really can't afford to not have Nicole as part of you wedding team. She was worth every penny!

Loved working with Nicole! I certainly would like to use her again! She did this party for my mother long distance! I could not have done it without her.
I would recommend using her! Everything was fabulous!
My mother is still taking about her and the wonderful job she did in less than 3 weeks time.

We worked with Nicole from Elegant Events as our "day-of" planner and could not have been happier! I wish I could have hired her to do my entire wedding, but the day-of service by itself was fantastic. Thanks to her our day went flawlessly. The process was very easy, we met with her a couple of times before the wedding, and had some work to do ahead of time getting her certain info, like vendors names, services, etc., and she put together a timeline for the day with everything that needed to be done, so that we had nothing to do the day of except get married. She conducts herself with a high level of professionalism, and has a calm, capable attitude that I appreciated as a stressed-our bride. If something went wrong that day, I still don't know about it, since Nicole handled everything so beautifully, down to the last detail, including making sure my husband and I got a drink at the reception by personally taking our order!

I am a wedding minister who has been doing weddings for over 20 years. When I meet another professional who has "a calling" for the work, it is something special! Nicole LOVES what she does, and that is so important when it comes to weddings. There is a focused joy that she brings to her day-of-event presence which is calming to everyone. We all know we're in good hands with Nicole! I've had the pleasure of working with Nicole on several SW Michigan weddings and highly recommend her to any couple who wants to leave the details of the day to an expert who works with her heart as well as head and hands! ~ Rev. Rebecca Armstrong, Wedding by Heart
