Michele is a wonderful event planner. Going into this, my then fiance and I didn't know lickety-split about planning a party, we needed help! Michele provided us a checklist of deadlines and a list of potential vendors and gathered quotes for us, which helped IMMENSELY. Each vendor we interviewed was hired on the spot. That is how impressed we were with Michele's vendor suggestions. There were some bumps along the way that Michele made easy for us: To save money, I went to COSTCO armed with only a MasterCard and put $400 worth of wedding stuff on the conveyor when I realized they only accept VISA. I almost melted. Michele saved my butt when she covered the bill and let us write her a check! I didn't listen to Michele when she warned me about taking on too many DIY projects. I ended up wigging out when I didn't have enough time to complete everything and Michele saved me again. I highly recommend Michele to plan your big event, she is professional, fun, and easy to worth with. Her goal is to make sure your event is exactly how you imagine and to make planning it as stress-free as possible. My husband and I were very happy with the end result. Michele deserves much more than what she charges!

Honestly, I don’t know where to begin with the services I received from Nation Event Design. From the first day we sat down and met to talk about my wedding with Michele from Nation Event Design, she was not only super attentive but also understood the look we were going for. The theme for our wedding was Rustic Mexican and Michele knew exactly how to make it not only fun but also tasteful. She put together an inspiration board based off the photos my husband and I had found and honestly on the day of my wedding it was like watching my inspiration board come to life. From taco tasting to table décor, every detail was spot on! She is so creative and not to mention has amazing artistic skills which is a plus. Not to mention, she is great at communication and keeps you informed every step of the way. Til this day we still get so many compliments for how great our wedding turned out. Plus who doesn’t love a wedding planner that will go out with you for tacos! ??

Michele is simply amazing! She thought of everything and keep me on track the whole time. Our venue looked fabulous, the band was great. She even got them to learn a new song for us!!! I couldn’t have asked for more. Having her around on the wedding day was like having family there as she cared for us and for the day.

Michele is extremely creative and detail orientated and quickly to respond. She is very respectful of your overall vision and concept for your event but does suggest ideas to elevate your initial idea. I complete trust her judgement and creativeness.

Where do I begin?!?! From the very start Michelle and I clicked so when I was overwhelmed with so many details I was very comfortable trusting Michelle with making decisions for me. Her ability to take what I thought was my confusing requests as to what I wanted the overlook look and feel of my wedding day and turn it into more than I could have ever imagined! She brought my sophisticated, elegant and simple vision to life. I'm so grateful for her expertise, her creativity and her ability to go above and beyond in every way possible!
