Events by SB was born from a dream to create a flourishing wedding and event-planning company for couples from all walks of life.

History: Nicole Batiste started Events By SB (then known as Something Blue Events) back in 2013, partnering with event designer (and, coincidentally, her cousin) John Shepard. Having each married their respective partners in 2011, they were fresh off first-hand experiences as visionaries, planners, and coordinators and ready for a challenge to create a business around their passions. By 2015, John departed to start his own floral and event design company, and Nicole continued Events By SB, solely focused on her strengths in event planning and coordination.

For over a decade now, Nicole has provided planning, coordination, and consulting services to many couples, from the traditional to the offbeat. Throughout her career, Nicole has amassed 20+ years of planning events and providing consulting services to other event planners and venues in the NYC area.

Services Offered: Nicole thrives in taking the difficulty of event planning off your shoulders, but never out of your hands. Events By SB's unique month-of-coordination model offers all couples the ability to plan the wedding of their dreams and hand off all the minutia and logistics to Nicole and her team of coordinators to execute seamlessly. Our tried-and-true handoff process allows you to leave the most stressful part of wedding planning, the final month, to us.

How it works: When you're nearing the final 30 days before your wedding, you'll fill out a questionnaire and hand over copies of all of your vendor contracts. From there, we'll have an introductory call to discuss your timeline, the plan for the day, the details that are most important to you, and any other important considerations you'd like taken care of. We'll take it from there, and handle the logistics, including:

• Day-of timeline creation
• Final vendor confirmations and scheduling
• Coordination of logistics with your venue to ensure all vendor partners have access at the time that they need
• Communication with all vendors to ensure we're the first line of defense to you, the happy couple - reducing the number of calls, details, and logistics you need to coordinate on your own in those final weeks and days leading up to your big day
• Help with any last-minute needs such as additional vendor support, or onsite coordinators (for an extra fee)

Whatever unique vision you have for your special day, Events by SB will help you execute it so that it is completely memorable for you, your friends, and your family—a day that you'll remember forever.

Let us free up your mind so you can create core memories of walking down the aisle, seeing your significant other as you lock eyes to join in marriage, your first married kiss, your first dance, and how you felt as you married the love of your life.
