I would be sitting here for a week if I tried to write out how absolutely wonderful Nicole Sheppard is as a person and a planner. If you only read one thing in this review, know that Nicole/Wander treats you as if you are their only client. It was never difficult to get a hold of our planner, she never pushed us off to an assistant.
Words could seriously not describe how grateful I am to her. She did a fantastic job from start to finish. When I was having trouble articulating, she read my mind and put exactly what I was thinking into words. When my wedding dress wasn't right less than two weeks before the wedding, she was there for me, got in her car and brought it to a seamstress she trusts and it was resolved within the week. When multiple rounds of invite proofs came out, she would already have a list of feedback for the artist before I could even open my mouth, and all of it was exactly what I was thinking. When an issue arose with my guests after the reception, she handled it like an absolute pro. I had no idea it even occurred until she told me after the fact. She became my brain and I am unbelievably impressed with her talent. For a normally very anxious person, I have never felt more calm than I did the days leading up to my wedding and even the day of, to the point my family was worried about me (ha), and I completely owe that to Nicole and her team. She reassured me every step of the way and did an INCREDIBLE job with our wedding. If Nicole can deal with me and put *me* at ease, I promise you she can deal with anyone.

I had the amazing opportunity to hire Nicole in 2019 when we were originally planning my wedding for May of 2020. Although the world had other plans for our 2020 wedding, and we eventually moved the wedding to July 2021, Nicole never missed a beat. As our plans kept changing, Nicole was there with unique, creative ideas to make sure that whatever the circumstances were by the time we got married, our vision would be brought to life. Nicole is incredibly hardworking, patient and flexible. She has a heart of gold and treats you as if you are her only client, even though she also runs an amazing wedding salon, Wander Atelier. She is incredibly organized and professional. She also knows so many people in the wedding industry and has a keen awareness of what her clients want. Throughout this entire three year process, Nicole was always available to answer any frantic questions that I had with the ever-changing wedding rules of 2020-2021. She had everything planned down to the minute and listened to all my comments and concerns. The work that she and her team did for my wedding was out of this world- so much so that almost a year after our wedding, I still cannot get over how absolutely perfect it was! My three day wedding had so many moving parts, but Nicole made all of these parts come together effortlessly. Choose All Who Wander Events and Nicole to turn your event into a dream. I am so lucky and grateful that I chose her for mine!!

No words can even begin to fully express our gratitude to Nicole for planning the most spectacular wedding weekend for us, our friends, and family. We are deeply indebted to her- from our very first call to our last (and every call/email/text in between!) Nicole was incredibly focused, patient, helpful, efficient, honest, and organized! Bringing Nicole on board was, by far and away, the best decision we made throughout the planning process! She is an EXPERT in her field- she connected us to the greatest vendors, she has the best ideas, beautiful visions, and executes it all flawlessly. She is also so sweet, funny, thoughtful, and became a good friend in time of such high stress and pressure. Nicole took every curve ball with such ease - we knew the entire time that we were in the BEST hands. THANK you Nicole, for making sure our weekend was beyond our wildest imaginations. Thank you for carrying out every little detail while we focused on the big picture. We love you so much!!!
Your biggest fans,
Katie and Joe Gorman

Nicole planned our 170 person wedding over a few months in 2019. She was patient, organized, responsive and ALWAYS had a solution ready for any issue that arose. We had 3 events over the course of the weekend, at least 4 caterers and needed to rent literally everything so it was a labor intensive endeavor - Nicole executed it perfectly. We are so grateful to her and would recommend her for anyone who is looking for a calm and joyful wedding experience!!!

From the perspective of the Mother of the Bride, I wanted to share my thoughts on my daughter and son-in-law’s magical wedding weekend. From the very first drink at the rehearsal dinner to the final cup of coffee at the farewell brunch, every aspect of the weekend was beautifully and meticulously crafted! While my husband and I owe the sunshine at the wedding ceremony to good fortune (and the intervention of departed relatives!), every other aspect of the weekend was due to Nicole’s thorough planning, thoughtfulness, creativity and wisdom. She was a wonderful source of insight and serenity throughout the yearlong planning process, and we were very grateful for her skilled and experienced guidance. I appreciated how she came to my daughter’s gown fittings, how she came to her rescue for her veil selection and how she assisted with her bridesmaids’ dress selections, as well.
Nicole was a wonderful listener and a terrific sounding board, always hearing our concerns and allaying our worries, big or small, throughout the planning process. Each of her recommended vendors performed to perfection. Her personal touches for welcome signs, escort cards and boards were unique and representative of the bride and groom’s personalities and vision.
The wedding day can be nerve-wracking, rushed and filled with emotion. Nicole was always a voice of reason and a non-judgmental confidant. She always remained upbeat and positive and her optimism and unruffled attitude was contagious. The timing of the event was perfect, as well! We never felt rushed or out of place. Having a minute-by-minute “Run of Show” helped immensely and she clearly built in extra time whenever it was needed. Her creative vision guided us in all aspects of our decision-making, especially with the transformation of the reception space that ended up exuding so much warmth and sophistication.
In summary, I remain eternally thankful for Nicole’s steady hand, calming voice and seasoned experience in planning and executing my daughter and son-in-law’s consummate wedding weekend. No amount of words can fully express my gratitude to her.

Literally the best. Our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of thanks to her. She is selfless, kind, calming and understanding whilst always taking control and managing all details and behind the scene crises that arise. No task is too large for Nicole. I don’t think she told me “no” once. I had very specific wants yet also an unclear vision for my wedding. Nicole took what I gave her and ran with it and my faith in her had me crying tears of joy on my wedding day. Her taste is impeccable and she can transform any space to make it stunning. Guests are still telling us how beautiful and we’ll-run every aspect of our weekend was - thanks to Nicole. If you have any concerns or problems during the planning process, she remains calm and has a solution instantly. She always makes you feel like you are the only wedding on her mind every time you meet or speak in persons, via email or text. Hire her if you want a beautiful, unique, personal, and well-run event.

Nicole is the single best decision you will make in the wedding process - right up there with the decision to get married in the first place. Our wedding weekend was the most magical, perfect weekend of our lives and we owe that to Nicole’s artistic vision, her exceptional ability to execute, her superpower attention to detail, and her extraordinarily calm demeanor.

In order to understand just how versatile, kind, creative, sweet, accommodating, brilliant, and amazing Nicole is, here’s three things you need to know about us: 1) We have three sets of parents, all with lots of opinions and all of whom were involved in the planning; 2) We had three full events (Friday BBQ, Saturday Wedding, Sunday Brunch) with 200 guests invited to each; 3) I spent the year leading up to our wedding traveling across Africa and Asia for work, and had little time to plan.

Any one of those situations would have been challenging, but Nicole was never fazed and was always unfailing calm. She designed and executed a perfect weekend - every vendor she recommended was the perfect fit, every design detail (down to the customized cocktail napkins) was noticed and appreciated by guests. She helped us navigate our budget, knowing precisely where we should spend a little extra, and where we could save by taking a different route. She often took on DIY crafts herself (which came out looking professional); the lounge furniture she ordered made us want to hire her to decorate our apartment. Honestly, now that the wedding is over, we miss her presence in our life - our whole family does.

Finally, if the above doesn’t convince you maybe this will: 30 mins before we were set to walk down the aisle, one of my bridesmaids had a freak accident and got blood all over her (light gray) dress. Nicole cleaned her up, got the blood stains out of the dress, and sent her down the aisle looking as if nothing happened. The crazy part? I had NO IDEA IT EVEN HAPPENED. Didn’t even learn about the incident until the next day at brunch.

Nicole is literally that good. Hire her yesterday.

Hiring Nicole was the best decision I made! Her taste is impeccable and she is sooo on the ball and decisive. After just one convo she completely understood my vision and was able to read my mind for the next year. The wedding ended up being more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined!
