Together with Nicol and her fabulous team, my husband and I planned a destination wedding in my home town of Napa. Wedding planning is stressful enough, but doing it from another country is another thing! We are so lucky to have worked with Nicol and Mia who made the destination wedding planning not only fun, but easy on us. We teamed up with Nicol early in the process, however her official work only commenced four weeks prior to our wedding date. Nicol was there for us from the very beginning by offering suggestions on vendors (when we asked) and how to create the ambiance we dreamed of for our wedding. She understood how difficult the time change was, Aus to US, and how frustrating the process can be to select vendors that would exceed our expectation site unseen and was patient with us while we made our decisions.
The wedding day was incredible. As a bride, there is a lot on your mind the day of the wedding. Nicol and Mia were on top of every detail to transportation, timing, execution, vendor payments...just everything. I couldn't have done it without them.
I highly recommend Little Blue Box Weddings and hope you will enjoy working with them as much as Matt and I did for our wedding. Thank you Nicol and Mia!

When we started planning our December 2012 wedding, I didn’t feel like we had enough time at al. Though I am good at researching and organizing, I’m also mommy to a wonderful, but also, very demanding 4 year old. I needed help. I came across Nicol's website and the wedding venue that we later chose. Admiring the many ‘personal’ touches that I could see she, as a professional, evidently brought to the weddings.

Many weddings in her portfolio clearly had a few things in common, but it was obvious that the events were very well carried out; and the couples looked happy, not at all stressed or worried. I had spoken to other planners, too. Some didn’t even reply, others were not willing to discuss facts and important details. First conversation with Nicol: we were talking about relevant stuff. Securing a venue, budget and vision.

She was always responsive, helpful and patient. We mostly communicated (very conveniently) via phone and email. She’d keep us on track, work on every request and give constructive criticism and advice when need be. When I’d ‘freak out’, I felt comfortable enough to convey this to Nicol, she’d reply with comforting words, schedule a call for as soon as the next day, discuss all my fears and issues, and restore my peace of mind.

Nicol recommended great vendors and set up all the meetings, negotiated contracts and worked out details with every single one – even the vendors that we had searched out ourselves.

Despite it pouring down buckets on our wedding day, and flooded the surrounding area, our ceremony moved indoors and everything was absolutely flawless. We are so grateful for everything Nicol has done before, during and after our wedding. She made our wedding (as well as rehearsal dinner AND post reception after-party) happen exactly the way we hoped for and picture

We worked with Nicol after having secured our wedding ceremony and reception site. We set up a tentative budget early on and from there she was extremely helpful in providing several options for each type of vendor that fell within a reasonable range of where we had set our budget. For two people without much time or a clear-cut idea of what we wanted, having our choices narrowed down for us was invaluable! We could not have been happier with each of the vendors we selected, and it was nice knowing that many of these vendors had experience working together. Nicol was great to work with - she was flexible with our schedule, easy to communicate with, and kept us on track! She provided us with time lines to follow and scheduled bi-weekly phone conferences with us to make sure that progress was being made, along with addressing any concerns we had. Of almost equal importance was Nicol's willingness to communicate somewhat regularly with our mothers, who could best be described as "worriers." Nicol was great about calming any fears they had and that certainly made our lives easier!

Our wedding day was amazing and to us it seemed as though everything went as planned - or better! We cannot thank Nicol enough for being such an integral part in making our wedding day so perfect.
