I don't even know where to begin singing Nicole's praises. We chose a "partial planning package" with Nicole and immediately were grateful for all of the awesome resources she gave us right off the bat--from vendor recommendations to access to an easily-accessible-by-all-parties online system to keep us all on the same page to an early planning questionnaire to help us determine our vision. My husband and I said frequently throughout our entire planning process that we were not paying Nicole enough, her services were by far the best money we spent on wedding planning. She was our confidante, ally, cheerleader, and friend throughout the entire process. We were dealing with several food allergies (myself, the bride; 2 bridesmaids; and several family members), and she stepped right in to go above and beyond to speak with caterers directly after we had a bad experience at a tasting. She even looked into seeing if she herself could get an epipen to have on hand in case of emergencies! In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she could tell we were stressed by our families and frequently checked in just to give us a pep talk, even when we didn't need to discuss anything in particular. On the day of, we had a vendor no-show (a friend-of-a-friend, not one of Nicole's recommended vendors). In what could have been a very stressful few minutes before walking down the aisle, she came to us to tell us what was up and already offered a solution; because of her quick thinking and calm demeanor, our day went off without any of our guests even noticing anything had gone wrong and my husband and I were eternally grateful that we didn't have to deal with it. The biggest thing I can say Nicole gave us was peace of mind, which is absolutely invaluable on such a loaded-expecations day. It was the greatest gift to have someone leading the charge that day that we trusted completely. We got to just enjoy our day and really experience and be present in it because of Nicole.

As our wedding date started to creep up on us, I started to realize that I needed a day of coordinator to help with the ceremony. I was in bit of freak out mode because I knew I was cutting it short. Our venue (separate from the ceremony location) gave us a referral to Nicole Mower. I sent her an email, and within an hour she was emailing me back to set up some time to talk over the phone. When I first spoke to Nicole I knew right away I needed her! She was very professional, but also asking about what I was doing over the weekend. We made arrangements to hire her, and then we set up some time to meet in person about a month before the wedding. We met her in Portsmouth, along with her assistant Helen, right across the street from where our ceremony would take place. She greeted us with a big hug like we had known her for years. She was taking notes, asking questions and putting together a plan as we talked for about 2 hours. I was so relieved after out meeting, I knew it would go off without a hitch. The wedding rehearsal soon approached and we had a small hiccup with the sound system in the church, but she was right there trying to figure it out. She was calming me down which was nice. We literally went over everything once and that was it, it was perfect and short and sweet. The wedding day came and I received the nicest and sweetest text from her ( I know this is part of her job, but it really meant a lot). You think back on the wedding process and there are a few people who will be etched in my mind forever and she is one of them. The wedding ceremony went great. She greeted us in the limo and talked to us about a few things, all while smiling. We had a few people show up a little late (right before I walked down the aisle) but she showed them where to go and kept them going. I actually ended up walking down a minute early from my plan (which was a win !). It was short and sweet, Helen did a great job with the music as well and returned my phone to me right away

Nicole was an absolute godsend, and really one of our best investments. We wanted a day-of wedding coordinator not only because our venue in New Castle, NH, was its first wedding, but because we wanted peace of mind for the day-of with minimal worries...and we got just that. Nicole is a seasoned expert when it comes to unique and challenging wedding venues, and she has worked with many tented seacoast weddings, which made her perfect for us!

It was way too windy the day of our wedding to keep the siding off our tent for the stunning views of the ocean, so windy that the linens wouldn't stay on the table. But Nicole made sure she had the tent company come down again to put the siding around the entire perimeter of the tent so that ourselves and our guests could enjoy themselves, and all within hours of our event!

She went the extra mile to ensure that everything was perfect down to the last detail. Even though I was happy to be a DIY bride, she made sure we remembered a lot of small detail items that would have been too important to miss. She even sent me a good morning text the day-of reminding me to drink some water and eat snacks even if I wasn't feeling hungry! I would recommend Nicole to any bride, anywhere, anytime.
