Nothing but Great & Reliable

Sandra was absolutely incredible. From the month before to the day of, she helped me get the timeline ironed out, communicated with all my vendors, set up everything the day of, and most importantly made sure the big day of went nothing but smooth. She really helped me keep organized through all of the wedding planning madness that you go through and all the little details the month before. If I messaged Sandra at any hour, she responded almost immediately. So reliable! On the day of I was able to just get ready and sip champagne with my girls without having to worry about anything. I would recommend her in a heart beat.

Everything I needed and more!

Sandra is amazing. I wasn’t even entirely sure what I wanted, but I told her “Simple & Elegant” and she ran with it. We had an absolutely amazing beach wedding. She took the time to get to know me and understand what we wanted and thought of details that hadn’t even occurred to me, all while keeping our budget in mind. She was always responsive and pulled every last detail together. I could not have put the wedding of my dreams together without her.

A true life saver

Sandra of Nested & Company was a true life saver to this Mother of the Groom. Two months before the big day we found ourselves swimming in things to be done, decisions yet to be made, details to execute and severe time constraints which resulted in a great deal of stress. A call to Nested & Company alleviated all of that and more.

From the first meeting there was no doubt Sandra was hired. She had the knowledge and experience to pull things together and furthermore was able to effectively communicate with all of us and that put us at ease. As the wedding got closer she continued to exhibit her value by staying on top of all the vendors and reminding all parties to complete their tasks. During rehearsal she timed the processional flawlessly and coordinated our unruly group as necessary.

Sandra does not just do the bare minimum. She goes way over and above. She brought pipe and draping and candles at the last minute from home, pitched in where needed by helping iron tablecloths and set tables and used her significant artistic talents to hand write the verbiage on a custom chalkboard. Thanks to the efforts of Sandra the bride and groom enjoyed a beautiful ceremony, dinner and reception. We are forever grateful to her for her efforts - thank you, Sandra! - and highly recommend her services!!

Creative, Passionate, Hardworking

Sandra was able to execute my vision! She provided insight and helped me remain calm before and during my event. I had a quince for 200 people, she helped from my centerpieces to the final touches. I am so grateful for her.

This was the best investment I made for my wedding day. Janeve is absolutely lovely, hard working, kind, and flexible. She was so easy to get a hold of the minute I thought of something. She is easy to get along with and very organized. There were some items the week of that I completely forgot about and thank goodness I had her to remind me / handle it. She did everything from run rehearsal, pick up items, and set up decor. She handled EVERYTHING and it made my wedding day so enjoyable that I did not have to worry about a thing. I gave her complete control and she handled the day perfectly. I had last minute guests show up I did not know where coming and he took care of it. I would very much recommend anyone to work with her, easily the best spent money on my wedding day!!!

We loved our Millcreek Wilde wedding venue yet trying to plan our sw MI wedding from Chicago was crazy! We got a personal reference from a pastor for Janeve. We were presently surprised after meeting Janeve & Sandra. We loved Janeve's bubbly joyful spirit. Janeve made herself available for whatever help we needed, answered a ton of questions, gave us creative tips and on the day of our wedding managed everything to make our wedding run seamlessly. We highly recommend her to have the wedding of your dreams.

I really think I got the better end of this deal than ANYONE! At the time of my wedding, I was a special events planner + coordinator AND I had several weddings under my belt. I really thought my hubby and I nailed it with our planning.
Well... I realized how much the *right coordinator could truly make or break a wedding. Thank GOD that I happened to have invited the owners of Nested & Co. as beloved guests to my out of state wedding! They ended up not just being our guests.. but really rescued us from embarrassment and stress that day. Here are just 3 for your entertainment ;)
1. We were so focused on decorating the room in which we were to be wed in and the room for the dessert reception that we forgot about the hallway in which everyone would be lounging in! (!!!) I sent Sandra a text message 2 days before and asked her if she could help me once her flight landed and she so graciously did!
2. There were many delays at our wedding. I had a coordinator for the wedding, but I don't recall seeing her at all. Who I did see was Janeve– who helped me with my dress, was on it with with the timing and instructions for me getting to the aisle, comforting me, telling me how beautiful I was, trying super hard to convince my tiny siblings to walk down the isle because they freaked out last minute.
3. Apparently, the cheesecake that was to be served for our reception was in a freezer and there was no one appointed to slice it up and serve it–not to mention– the dessert section was not set up either. Janeve discovered this and began to slice it up so beautifully! Also, there was no music in the reception room, which would've been super awkward if our guests would have walked into a room with nothing.

There is SO much more she did that I did not get to share, I cringe just thinking about what could have happened. They saved us, and I hope you save yourself the stress and just book them before you need to be rescued!

Nested & Company did an absolutely beautiful job on my son and his bride's wedding invitations, shower invites & decorating the venue for the wedding shower. They are extremely creative and talented and I will use them again!!! I have also purchased items from one of their many displays at craft shows. Thank you so much!

Weddings can put tremendous pressure on anyone, especially the bride! At every turn of my wedding and reception, if I had a question, Janeve was right there anticipating the next steps, unforeseen challenges with solutions and was so gracious and quick in resolving any concerns that came up! Being able to let go of the details, knowing that it was fully covered, took my initial level of stress to a joyful calm and I was able to enjoy one of the biggest and happiest days of my life!!

We couldn’t be more thrilled to recommend Nested and Co. for ALL things wedding related! We got married 6 years ago, and we still talk about how stress free our day was thanks to the organized planning and coordination of the service/reception. Their experience in everything from the decor to the flow of a wedding is undoubtedly evident in the work that they do, and helping you through every step of the process is of paramount importance to them. The love and care that goes into every detail (even helping the bride to stay relaxed) is something that should be considered when you are choosing a wedding planner/coordinator, and they are one of the best. I highly recommend using Nested and Co. for your big day, you will NOT regret it!
