Best Wedding Coordinator Ever!

Nicole was the absolute best wedding coordinator I could have ever asked for. She was so involved, on top of everything, sent me reminders on what I needed to do, gave her recommendations/honest opinions when I needed them and made our wedding day go SO smoothly. She reached out to all of our vendors to ensure everything was scheduled appropriately for the big day. We had an out of town wedding and she offered to have any of our wedding decorations sent to her home to make it easier on us. One of our groomsmen had an issue with his suite being delivered to his home on time so she offered to have it delivered to her home and she brought it to the wedding rehearsal. Our wedding day went so perfectly and it was 100% because of Nicole. She was running around handling everything with the venue the day of and if there were any issues, I never heard about them! If you’re looking for someone dedicated, professional, friendly and knowledgeable then she is your girl! Highly highly recommended if you’re in need of a wedding coordinator.

Thank you Nicole!

Nicole was amazing! She made everything so easy. I ended up having an unplanned and scary surgery right before my wedding. Without Nicole, I would not have been able to make my wedding work. She coordinated effortlessly with all my other vendors and made our wedding so special. I did not have to worry about anything during my wedding day, thanks to Nicole. Of the vendors I hired for our wedding, Nicole was by far my favorite.

Best Venue Hire Overall

Where do I begin! Nicole was probably our best hire for our wedding (don't tell the DJ or photographer ok). My (new) husband and I's first call with Nicole immediately put us at ease. She knew exactly what to ask us and wanted to know every detail from us in order to create the timeline for our big day. It was so helpful and relieving to be able to collaborate with her. When she arrived at our rehearsal (yes, she does rehearsals) she took charge and directed everyone. She had great thoughts and advice about every step. She told the officiant to move during the kiss, reminded us that we should be holding hands the whole time, told the maid of honor her roles of holding bouquet, fluffing dress, fixing veil if needed etc etc. For the actual wedding, she kept our timeline on track, she huffed TONS of stuff from the bridal suite to the reception area and did all our set up. The wedding went so smoothly. She let us know quietly if there were any questions or issues that arose and knew when to just crowd manage if needed. She also knew when to come to us, the bride and groom on an extremely busy day, and when to handle things herself. We really can't thank her enough for her help on our big day and even beforehand.

Nicole is an Absolute Must for Your Day

If there was one vendor that could have charged us double and I would have been 100% okay with it, it would be Nicole. From the first time we met her to the very last goodbye on the wedding night, she was the most incredible coordinator. She helped through every step, was incredibly organized, and thought of things my husband and I never would have. We had multiple wedding guests compliment us on her work and professionalism. Nicole, thank you SO much for the incredible work you did on and before our special day. It would not have been possible to have the day we did without you.

Thank you Nicole!

We went with Nicole's "month-of coordination" and were so happy with our choice! Her vendor list was top-notch and each one she recommended did an amazing job. She even helped us secure discounts with some of our vendors, which was a huge bonus! Nicole was incredibly thoughtful and flexible in helping us build a timeline that truly fit our vision. She met with us multiple times before the wedding, always ready to adjust and refine the plan to ensure everything flowed seamlessly. Our rehearsal was smooth, fast, and stress-free, allowing our entire wedding party to feel confident for the big day. During the day of the wedding, she handled all the details and logistics perfectly (from set up to tear down). She even stayed until the very end to make sure nothing was left behind and everything was perfect. Nicole’s dedication, professionalism, and warmth made all the difference. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Nicole is outstanding!!

We were so lucky to have Nicole Issler as our month-of wedding coordinator. From the start, she was professional, responsive, and completely on top of every detail. On the day of our wedding, I had nothing to worry about - Nicole handled everything seamlessly, and our guests are still raving about her.

Nicole has a gift for moving things along smoothly without ever being imposing. She was wonderful with our guests, and especially kind and patient with our kids during both the rehearsal and ceremony. She kept everything on schedule while also being flexible to our needs.

When unexpected challenges popped up, like strong winds that scattered our guest cards all over the lawn or when the top layer of our cake fell off (!), Nicole stayed calm and collected, quickly fixing the issues without missing a beat. She worked beautifully with all of our vendors, and I never once had to step in. She managed it all behind the scenes with ease.

Nicole made it possible for me to be fully present and enjoy the day, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her!

The absolute best

Being lucky enough to have Nicole help us with our wedding was hands down the best decision we made. From day one, she was incredibly responsive, organized and helpful. She gave incredible recommendations for vendors while taking our personal preferences into account and made the communication with everyone a breeze. She kept us on task with figuring little details that we didn't even realize we would need plan for and really just made the overall planning experience as stress-free as I think is humanly possible. On the day of, everything was handled flawlessly. We didn't even have to think about what was going on the behind the scenes because she had it so dialed in. And the day was perfect. We didn't give ourselves much time to plan our wedding (5 months) and Nicole is the single reason we could 1) pull it off and 2) have it be such an incredible day. And she was just a ton of fun to work with too.
She is a dream wedding planner. Would so so so highly recommended. We cannot thank her enough

Nicole is amazing!!

Working with Nicole was a game changer for our wedding. We didn't want to overwhelm our friends and family with all of the day-of management and I am so glad we found Nicole as a recommendation through our venue, McMenamin's Kennedy School in Portland. We were very impressed by her previous experience as an event and wedding coordinator in L.A. and her expertise thruly shined through. She eliminated any worries I had and was supportive for me and my partner throughout the day. Nicole built out and managed our entire wedding day timeline, handled all vendor communications leading up to and on the day, and was attentive, prompt, and very professional. Even small problems that arose were veiled from our view because she seamlessly handled everything. We would 100% book her again and I highly recommend that you do as well! Thanks so much, Nicole!

Couldn't Have Done It Without Nicole!

The secret to a smooth, enjoyable wedding? A wedding coordinator who knows what she's doing - and that was Nicole to a tee. She was incredibly helpful in the lead up (answering our questions, providing recommendations, and laying out realistic expectations), and was fantastic at walking us and the wedding party through the ceremony motions at the rehearsal practice. But ultimately, I honestly don't know how we could've done the Big Day without her. She kept us on our timeline, made sure my husband and I had food and beverages, was a great help to everyone in attendance, and was just overall phenomenal. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Nicole Issler helping them on their wedding day.
