As a (corporate) event planner, I have admittedly high standards and had big ideas, and Nora & her unbelievable team truly lived up to all of them. From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. The week leading up to our wedding brought major storms and tornados through Cleveland and she didn’t miss a beat — coordinating with my mom to problem solve before I even thought to check in with her. Nora was calm and resourceful, quickly finding solutions and ensuring the guest experience basically remained the same. Her attention to detail and ability to adapt to last-minute changes gave us peace of mind during what could have been a horribly chaotic time leading up to our wedding weekend.

The entire process felt seamless, and she truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical, no matter what the weather threw our way. Additionally, Nora provided fantastic wedding vendor recommendations, and each one was amazing! They were all talented professionals who made our day even more special. Nora turned our vision into a reality — we couldn’t have made a better pick!

EWN made planning my wedding such a dream! We came to them in August with nothing but a venue, a hope and a wish and they seriously delivered. My wedding was truly the christmas magic I always dreamed of! They are extremely organized and each person that works for and with Nora brings certain strengths to the table that make them such a cohesive and efficient team. Highly recommend hiring Engaged With Nora if you want to make your dreams come true too!

From our "interview" meeting with Nora, it was clear that we wanted to hire her to plan our wedding day - and from that moment on she did not disappoint. She was so detail oriented, proactive, kind, accommodating, and design focused. Our first meeting together was aligning on our "vision" for the event, and it is incredible how she was able to weave that vision into every aspect of the wedding day, only straying when we discussed it! She was creative when it came to our budget, suggesting inventive ways to incorporate creative cuts that would add personality to the day, and protected us as clients at all costs. She knew exactly what to invest in, who to hire, and where to cut back. It was so nice to be able to trust her to manage what we wanted right off the bat - and our wedding day not only aligned but far exceeded what we could have mapped out in that vision meeting. We chose a venue that provided truly NOTHING, and Nora was meticulous in making sure we had every single aspect of the day mapped out, down to the number forks. On the day of our wedding, we were at ease. Nora brought a team of 5 people that communicated through headsets, and I felt completely comfortable with the day in their hands and had no worries. Her bridal attendant, Lily, was so attentive and spectacular, and was such a calming presence to have by my side on the wedding day. She had everything you could ever need on her as well! I was so happy we hired the EWN team. We will never forget all the effort they all put in to make us the happiest with our wedding weekend that we could be, and how Nora added the extra touches to make it feel special and like our own. Nora was extremely responsive, answering emails within minutes, and was always tuned in whenever we needed something. Although she manages multiple weddings a year, we felt like we had her full attention throughout our process. She had tons of documents and spreadsheets keeping track of timelines, budgets, TODOs, etc, that satisfied even my strong type A personality. Nora and her team were a joy to work with, and I would say that hiring her as a planner was well worth the investment. It made the wedding planning journey so fun and memorable!

We decided to move forward with the day of coordination package. I was a slightly overwhelmed and burned out bride that needed help and Lily and Casey came to my rescue. The were patience, professional, kind and truthfully, I do not know what we would have done without them. From the pre-wedding meetings to the day of execution, they kept us on track, worked with our vendors seamlessly and made our day 100 times better.

We knew right after our first “get to know you” consultation with Nora, two years before our wedding, that we wanted to work with her. At that point, we had very little envisioned for our big day. My husband leaned toward a classic, old-school style, I wanted something romantic, and we both loved the idea of a classic Cleveland industrial wedding. Nora’s thoughtful questions helped us start to visualize our wedding, and she pitched so many fantastic ideas that fit both our budget and style, many of which we ended up using. Instagram and Pinterest can be a black hole of endless wedding ideas, but Nora has truly seen it all. She’s not afraid to tell you what works, what doesn’t, and how to refresh a trend to make it your own.

She was consistently attentive to the parts of the wedding we cared most about and wanted to splurge on, while also helping us identify areas we could scale back. Nora and her team were exceptional at coordination and logistics (which really showed on the wedding day), but what stood out most was their creativity, care, and thoughtfulness throughout the planning process. She graciously handled our endless questions and numerous small changes to stationery and seating charts. I was able to maintain a relatively low stress level throughout the entire process because we wholeheartedly trusted Nora’s expertise.

Working with Nora isn’t just about planning, styling, and coordination, she also knows the absolute best vendors across all price ranges. She helped us select every one of ours, and I was truly blown away by each vendor’s artistry, from photography and videography to florals, lighting, the band, the cake, and more. Her advice and vendor recommendations were probably the single most valuable part of working with her. I was the first of my friends to get married and had no idea which vendors to hire or how to choose. Nora recommended people who were not only talented and reliable, but whom she had worked with before, qualities you can’t always spot on Instagram.
If you’re engaged and wondering whether to hire a full-service wedding planner, do it. It was the best decision we made and saved us countless hours of research, stress, and dependence on family and friends.

It takes one look through her Instagram to know she can create a stunning wedding. If you’re considering booking Nora, do it. Her team made our day seamless, she puts so much intention into everything she delivers, and her style is both unique and chic. There’s no harm in setting up a call. And if you’re lucky enough to have a date that fits into her busy schedule you should probably go email her back. We can’t thank Nora enough for making our wedding day so perfect and so uniquely “us.”

✨ There are wedding planners, and then there’s Nora. ✨

After nearly two years of planning calls, one unforgettable week in Greece, and a hometown reception that still has people talking, Nora didn’t just plan our wedding—she became part of our family. 💛

From day one, she was prepared, organized, calm, and confident. Her professionalism was matched only by her warmth, and she carried us through every decision (big or small) with grace. Planning an international wedding and a local reception could’ve been overwhelming—but thanks to Nora, Casey, and their incredible team, both events felt seamless and stress-free. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of it all.

We would hire Nora 10x over. No hesitation. She’ll be our first call for every milestone ahead—baby showers, anniversaries, vow renewals—you name it. If it matters to you, trust Nora to make it unforgettable.

Wow, creative, organized, well-connected, and almost prescient with her ability to navigate the drama. We knew we wanted help to create a memorable day, and she delivered! From concept to design to execution, she facilitated everything. She asked a quick series of questions with exciting visual examples to spark our creativity and get a vibe for what we wanted as individuals and as a couple. Our wedding was also multicultural (Pakistani and American), incorporating traditions from both cultures. Then, taking our nascent ideas, she built up and around us to provide a concept that blew us away. It’s like she knew us better than we knew ourselves.


Nora then paired us with curated vendors that we could select from to make things simply perfect. She kept us on task with gentle reminders that didn’t provoke my dislike of structure but simultaneously gave my partner the order she thrived in. Nora struck the balance between us, making us feel heard, valued, and catered to. She was funny, creative, and thoughtful. During the wedding, Nora and her team were on top of every detail. The groom had a wardrobe malfunction 10 minutes before the ceremony, and Nora had everything on site ready to address it.

Hands down, the best decision we made, other than my partner, was having Nora plan the perfect day.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Savanah Pfister from Engaged With Nora for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Savanah was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and responsive. She truly thought of everything and made the entire planning process so much smoother.

On the wedding day itself, Savanah was a calming, professional presence who ensured everything ran perfectly. Thanks to her careful coordination and attention to detail, the day went off without a hitch and we were able to fully enjoy every moment without stress.

We’re so grateful for all the hard work Savanah put in to make our day beautiful and seamless. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, thoughtful, and truly committed to making your wedding vision a reality, we can’t recommend her and the Engaged With Nora team enough!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Nora and we cannot recommend her services highly enough! From the very beginning, her attention to detail was unparalleled. Every aspect of our special day was meticulously planned, ensuring a seamless and breathtaking celebration.

Nora's communication was exceptional throughout the entire process. She kept us informed every step of the way, promptly answering our questions and providing thoughtful guidance. Whether it was coordinating with vendors, creating timelines, or offering creative suggestions, she made sure we felt supported and stress-free.

What truly sets Nora and her team apart is their ability to listen and bring our vision to life. They took the time to understand our style and preferences, transforming our ideas into reality with elegance and charm. The personalized touches they incorporated made our wedding feel so unique and reflective of us as a couple.

Not only were they professional and organized, but they also brought a sense of calm and positivity to the entire planning process. Their warm and caring demeanor made it feel like we were working with a trusted friend who genuinely cared about our happiness.

If you want a wedding planner who is detail-oriented, communicative, creative, and dedicated to making your day unforgettable, look no further than Engaged with Nora. They truly exceeded our expectations and made our wedding dreams come true! We truly did not have one issue arise on our wedding and that was simply because of Nora and her team! Thank you!

Nora and her team (Robin was our day of/leading up to planner) were above and beyond the reason our wedding was the special day it was. From our first meeting, to the mood board a week later that set the decor and mood for our entire wedding, to the day of we could have never imagined the level of communication, compassion, and competency their team provided us. Weddings are far from easy for all parties involved but they made it seamless. They went above and beyond in so many ways, taking on vendor communications a week sooner than their contract stated they would removed a huge level of pressure from us. The wedding was so fun we want to throw it again and again every year, and you bet we will hire them every time.
