Best in the business!

Nordstrom Events and Diane were a dream to work with. From our first call, she was warm, professional, and ready to plan. She curated our timeline, communicated with our vendors (and helped us choose a couple—Jeffrey’s Greenworld and Sweet Sunflour Bakery were superb) and abated all of our stresses. We credit Diane with making our special day better than we could have ever dreamed. Despite our venue being unresponsive, we had zero concerns that our day would run smoothly with her as our coordinator—and it did! We have nothing but positive feedback for Nordstrom Events and would highly recommend them to any bride in OBX.

Diane is a QUEEN!

We feel so so lucky to have found Diane at the very beginning of our wedding planning process, and to have had her support and help throughout! Planning a backyard wedding from multiple states away (in a house that was under construction) is no joke, and we absolutely could not have done it without her. She is level-headed and calm, and is able to problem solve things that we would not have even considered. Diane is so professional and has everything together, but even still we felt like we gained a friend and we were sad when the wedding was over! She helped our day run beautifully - we wouldn't have changed a thing

Simply the best!

Oh we can not say enough about Diane. My wife and I got married in the Outer Banks from Maryland. Diane was a complete godsend and we could not have done it without her! From the many, many emails to her answering every detail, to her asking questions about things we did not even think about, to the overall wonderful demeanor that she had constantly. We could not have felt more at ease about our destination wedding with Diane on our side. By far, one of the best decisions we made was hiring Nordstrom Events! Diane - a million times thank you!

What an amazing person to help with our special day!

Nordstrom Events was beyond amazing! Diane was very responsive and provided recommendations with the best vendors. Coming from out of town, it was a weight off us that she has these connections. Her vendors did not disappoint either and were as stellar as her and her husband! We had a small wedding, but she gave us the same attention to detail. We even had to pivot at the last minute due to the weather (out of everyone’s control!) and she was all over it, already with a plan in hand. We are beyond grateful to have crossed paths with her as our day was perfect! We highly recommend her!!

Amazing Experience

Nordstrom Events is absolutely wonderful! Diane was top notch and very informative. Planning my small wedding was stress free all thanks to her! Being away from the area, I was nervous but she was so attentive and always led me in the right direction! We had the most perfect day and we loved Diane and her very inviting personality!

10/10 Excellent Experience!

Nordstrom Events is fabulous. Diane is so knowledgeable on the area. We are from out of state so we needed some assistance with planning. Diane recommended the location for the wedding, which was beautiful and easily accessible. Diane also recommended a dinner venue which was very good and accommodating. We felt at ease the entire process and we cannot thank you enough for helping to put our special, perfect day together. Diane also took a wonderful picture of us and it is one of my favorites!

Luck Wedding

I wouldn't have an idea where to begin with Diane. She was my wedding angel! From the minute I spoke with her she was the perfect planner for my perfect day. She helped facilitate and organize my perfect day with expert organization, patience, & ease. You can tell she was made for planning. Her skills as a planner include: organization, time management, problem solving, creativity, active listening, & networking with vendors. Thats just to name a few, there isn't a skill she doesn't absolutely qualify for. If I could do my wedding over, nothing would be different. I believe it's mostly thanks to her for making it a wonderful time & experience. If you're on the fence of who to go with Diane is worth it! She is as good as it gets! Look no further because she is the best!

Responsive, patient, and a true delight to work with

Diane was an outstanding choice as our wedding planner, demonstrating unparalleled involvement from the start. With excellent contacts in the Outer Banks area, she showcased remarkable patience, friendliness, and responsiveness. Diane not only listens carefully to your requests but also goes the extra mile to find vendors that align perfectly.

One standout quality is her non-intrusive approach; she never imposes decisions but rather guides you through the process. When we had to decide to get wed on the beach or at the venue, Diane provided hourly weather updates to help us make an informed decision. Her excellence extends to guest interactions, addressing their questions with grace.

We are thoroughly pleased with Diane's services and highly recommend her for your once-in-a-lifetime fairy tale event. Her responsiveness to emails and calls further underscores her dedication to making the entire wedding planning experience seamless and enjoyable.

Amazing Support with No Stress

Diane was fantastic. Her support in preparation for the wedding and during the wedding made the whole experience enjoyable. We can truly say we had so much fun at our wedding and spent zero time on logistics or worrying about what was happening next, were people in the right place, was the food coming out, etc. Everything went off without a hitch, and Diane was so easy to work with and calm throughout. Highly, highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Nordstrom Events are pros. I have had the pleasure of working with Diane, the vision that the brides and grooms have given her was fulfilled. Beautiful tables, arches, flowers the total package. It all looks effortless (but we know how much work is put in each and every event), you can put your event in her capable hands. I look forward to working with Diane and her team in the future.

I'm always happy to learn that I'll be working with Diane from Nordstrom Events. I know that she'll be handling everything that a planner should, which makes my job easy! I love showing up to the weddings we share because it's like seeing my family since we've been working with most of Nordstrom's staff for almost 20 years now! Hundreds of couples over the years have been thrilled, so I am completely confident to highly recommend Nordstrom Events to anyone looking for planning and coordination services on the Outer Banks of N.C.!
