About

Nicole Burbank Events is a Southern California based wedding management and floral design business focused on creating soulful, mindful, and artful events with intention and a bit of magic, supporting love for all, practicing sustainability, and giving back to worthy causes.

ABOUT…NICOLE BURBANK EVENTS

Your wedding should reflect you and your relationship so I truly put my heart and soul into ensuring the big day as well as the journey is not only smooth sailing but actually fun. What did you say?! Yes, that’s right. FUN. I pride myself on being able to keep my chill in any moment and think on my feet, kind of important skills for a planner and florist. That kind of energy is what makes planning and the wedding day actually enjoyable for clients and fellow vendors. I am a strong believer that you should focus only on what matters to you by incorporating all the most meaningful details and nothing that doesn’t speak to you. Remember that there is nothing you are required to do to celebrate your love… other than maybe actually get married. So whether that’s walking each other down the aisle, having a brunch reception, swapping bridesmaid bouquets for clutches, or nixing the garter toss (I beg of you), you do you. There’s no other relationship like yours and your wedding should be just as unique and personal. Not to say you should pull out all the trendy stops but intentionally choose ways to make it an extension of you. I’m always down to get weird and artsy too, just putting that out there. There should be a sweet harmony of sentimentality, design and logistics to create the most memorable moments in the spirit of love, joy and connection… and I’m here to help make that happen. Let’s tell your story.

WEDDINGS FOR GOOD

As part of my initiative to pay it forward, 5% of profits are donated to charitable organizations. I have my favorites but let me know if any of them are near and dear to your heart!

This is the business of love, and as an ally, to me that means love for all. This is a safe space of inclusion and equality. Period.

From personal to business, I strive to incorporate sustainable practices whenever possible to play my part in caring for the home we all share.

…NICOLE

This business is my passion project and I’m constantly trying to better myself to be the best vendor for you. It is a privilege and an honor to play a part in so many important days. Oh, did you come here to hear me gush about weddings or learn something about me? Ok, ok, let’s see… like my design style, there are many sides to my personality! My happiest place is deep in the great outdoors but I’ve learned I can get a bit bougie too and enjoy a good occasional pampering. I love all things vintage (half my furniture and playlists are at least 50 years old) but my personal style has recently become more contemporary with a touch of playful (albeit mostly stained since having a baby). Dance has always been a big part of my life… after over sixteen years doing ballet and tap, I taught children’s classes for a couple years then got into swing dancing, which is how I ended up meeting my husband! I’ve definitely got the travel bug and have had the good fortune to travel to some incredible places, witness breathtaking sights and have unforgettably epic experiences. And yet, being a proud San Diego native, I can’t see myself living anywhere else. Since becoming a mom to the most darling and rambunctious little boy, Harvey, in 2020, buying a little house with endless projects in 2021, and continuing to build my own business, sometimes I feel like there’s not much time for myself. But, whenever I do have some “spare” time you can find me at a yoga class, learning to garden, picnicking with friends, hitting the beach, trying out a new recipe, or sitting in a cafe with a pastry and matcha latte in hand. Some things I value most: kindness, genuineness, humility, and creativity. Some things I don’t like: pretty much the opposite of all that… and pickles, gross. I’m one to skip the small talk so tell me something deep and spiritual. On the other hand, I can also be super silly, like, embarrassingly so - just ask my husband or turn on some 90s pop to see it firsthand. Overall, I’m just aspiring to be a good, healthy, well-rounded human living a modest but full life… who can also make a bomb chocolate cake.

Nicole was spectacular!

Nicole was spectacular during our special day and everything leading up to it! She was very thorough with what we wanted. For example, we showed her pictures of a few bouquets we liked with a rare flower assuming she wouldn't be able to find it. However, she went out of her way to find the exact same flowers and make the arrangements exactly what we wanted!
On the day of the ceremony, we ended up having two flower girls last minute and forgot to update Nicole about it. She was able to create an impromptu extra flower crown for the recently-added flower girl and it looked perfect! This made my niece's day and made her feel so special.
Overall, she made our special day that much more magical and I am so happy we chose her as our florist!

Exceeded Expectations!

With a limited budget, Nicole was able to completely meet my vision and make my dream wedding come true! The little touches completely filled out the venue and went above and beyond what I had expected!

Nicole is the BEST!

Where do I start, Nicole helped us throughout our two year wedding planning process, including a COVID postponement and some last minute changes and logistics with our venue. Nicole remained super calmed and organized through it all and made sure our day went perfect and smoothly. She thought of every little detail and remembered all of the small things I had communicated to her as well for the day of. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Nicole!

Absolutely Amazing!!!!

From our very first interaction with Nicole (via Instagram), she exceeded our expectations! She was so quick to respond to all of our questions and was truly supportive in our wedding vision! It was important to us to meet with each vendor prior to booking to make sure our needs were met and Nicole was more than happy to set aside time to meet. She is very professional, personable, and a pleasure to work with! She was very willing to work with our budget and we are so incredibly thankful! We absolutely loved our wedding floral design and we continue to receive compliments. When it comes to turning your floral wedding dreams into reality, we hope that everyone books Nicole!

Nicole is THE best!

My husband and I hired Nicole for our day of coordination and it was the best money we spent! I naively believed we could handle our wedding without professional coordinators but good lord I was wrong. Nicole was incredibly professional, prompt, organized and very diplomatic when dealing with unexpected issues that came up with our reception venue. For as professional as she was, she was just as warm and down to earth. Every time we communicated I felt like I was talking to a super helpful and organized friend and she made the process exciting and fun and stress free. She executed our decor and layout phenomenally and the reason we were able to enjoy our wedding day was solely due to Nicole’s presence and expertise. I wish we’d hired her earlier in the process! A month or two out from our wedding we started to realize we’d made a mistake by not hiring a coordinator and then coincidentally Nicole saw our engagement photos online and sent me a DM offering her services. Putting herself out there and taking that initiative can be difficult but it really caught my attention because it showed how confident she was in her work. We have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with Nicole and I have recommended her to quite a few people. I even gave her business card to an Uber driver of mine who was just starting the wedding planning process!

Beautiful Small Elopement

Nicole was such a pleasure to work with for a beautiful small elopement wedding. Being on the catering side of things it is such a breath of fresh air to work with someone who knows how important it is to be creative, flexible on a moment's notice and just an all-around delight to be with. She made the experience very easy and everything looked beautiful! I would highly recommend Nicole Burbank Events!!

I love Nicole!

I wasn't planning on hiring a wedding coordinator, but my venue rules included having a POC for the day, so we chose Nicole's Day-of Coordinator package. She was there to help us from around a month before, and I don't know what I would have done without her. It would have been a mess! Nicole is very organized and she has a great personality, she's just comfortable to talk to and she felt like a friend who happened to be helping to organize my wedding. I didn't know about anything that went wrong on the day of my wedding because Nicole handled it all. If you can afford it, I would recommend Nicole for the full service coordination! If not, day-of was just a lifesaver. I spoke to other vendors before choosing her, and she was a stand-out in communication, organization and accuracy. So happy I found her!

Flawless and fun!

Nicole did an outstanding job as our wedding coordinator, vendor liaison, fixer, music coordinator, and utility player - she took on probably every job during our wedding ceremony/reception and nailed it. A month or so in advance of the wedding she helped us set up a time-line and think through some important but easily overlooked details. During the wedding she made sure we stuck to the time-line and if there were any issues during our ceremony/reception we were completely oblivious to them, which is the hallmark of a brilliant wedding coordinator. And, it's worth noting, that before our wedding even started Nicole saved the entire event by trouble shooting some major tech issues with the wedding/reception music playlist. We feel so fortunate to have hired Nicole as our wedding coordinator because her creativity, attention to detail, diverse abilities, and professionalism made it so easy to hand over the reigns and just enjoy our wedding day. To us the entire wedding day went flawlessly and that feeling is priceless. In addition to being an amazing wedding coordinator, Nicole is also a super nice, really down to earth, warm, friendly person. It was a pleasure getting to know Nicole personally during the course of the wedding planning and we feel very honored to have shared such an important moment with her.

The Best Day!

Nicole was the absolute most amazing person to work with! She is the reason why our wedding was as beautiful and perfect as it was! My husband and I got married on a private property that was not a traditional wedding venue. We had to bring in everything down to restrooms and generators for electricity. With our venue being a little challenging (to say the least), I kept waiting for something to go wrong on the day of the wedding, but it was the perfect day all because of Nicole. Nicole is 100% the reason why our day was flawless and I am forever grateful for her and all that she did for us! The months leading up to the wedding she was an amazing help when it came to looking for vendors and thinking through the wedding day. She came up to the property with us before the wedding and took notes, drew sketches, and encouraged us that it would be a beautiful day. Because it wasn't a traditional venue we had no setup staff. Nicole was in charge of setting up everything with a little help from the groomsmen and when I got to the property it was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Nicole is the BEST person to have on your team for your wedding or any event for that matter! Like I said, I am eternally grateful for her and all that she did for us! If you are looking for someone for your special day look no further, seriously, Nicole is the best person you will ever find and will be such a blessing to your event!

She was very easy to work with.

I loved her work! She was able to capture the look I was going for with minimal direction.
