First Class Experience!

Right after my wife and I got engaged, we immediately began searching for a wedding planner who had strong relationships with vendors, exuded professionalism, was highly responsive, and could tailor the experience to our specific needs. After our first consultation, we were confident that Monica Noa of Nouveau Events was the perfect fit.

From start to finish, Monica helped us stay within budget, offered honest and thoughtful feedback, accompanied us to vendor visits, and ensured our wedding day unfolded seamlessly. Her attention to detail and calm leadership made the entire planning process feel smooth and stress-free.

We were proud to support a Black-owned business—and even more thrilled to work with a fellow alum from Winston-Salem State University. Monica’s dedication and expertise exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her and Nouveau Events to anyone planning their special day.

Absolutely Perfect Wedding Planning Experience with Monica!

From start to finish, working with Nouveau Events and Monica was an absolute dream! Monica’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made the entire wedding planning process not only stress-free but genuinely enjoyable.

She took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have even imagined. Every detail, from the décor to the timeline, was executed flawlessly. Monica’s ability to stay calm under pressure and her quick problem-solving skills ensured that our big day went off without a hitch.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and seamless everything was, and we owe it all to Monica and her incredible team. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will make your dreams come true and treat your event as if it were her own, look no further than Nouveau Events.

Thank you, Monica, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

Wedding Planner

My husband and I found Monica in 2019 after she planned a friends wedding. We loved Monica's professionalism and enthusiasm for what she does. Our wedding was initially labor day weekend of 2020 bu then the pandemic hit and we had to postpone to December 2021. Monica was helpful every step of the way and made our wedding as smooth as possible. If you are looking for the luxury wedding experience Monica is who you want to call.

Review of Nouveau Events and owner Monica Noa

Monica Noa was an exceptional wedding planner. As with many events during the 2020-2021 seasons, our wedding planning experienced many setbacks, including a significant date change due to the pandemic, as well as a late stage venue switch. While this was difficult and stressful for all parties involved, Monica handled the difficulty with consummate professionalism. She was always timely in her communication and dealt with all the contracts, venue switching, and vendors so well.
She is really an expert at her craft, and we could not recommend her more. During our wedding weekend, Monica and her staff organized our large wedding party and guests with grace and confidence. We had multiple events spanning two days, and the entire event went off without a hitch. We found Monica’s company through a Google search, and could not have gotten luckier. We wholeheartedly recommend Nouveau Events without reservation. You will be glad you did!

An amazing experience!

Monica was the most incredible planner for our wedding! Due to the pandemic, we went through multiple postponements and changes, which Monica handled beautifully. She was very easy and fun to work with, professional, efficient (which was important to us!), and knew EXACTLY how to take our vision and put it in action. Our wedding weekend was more than we could have ever asked for, and she made sure every detail we wanted was implemented beautifully! We highly recommend Monica, and can't thank her enough for putting together our dream wedding for us.

Thanks for everything!

Monica and her team, Noveau Events, are absolutely amazing! We were excited to have Monica as our wedding planner and day of coordinator. We chose the full planning service package, and I am so glad we did! While life definitely presented its twists and turns Monica was there to relieve a lot of the "wedding stress". Whenever we had any questions or concerns regarding the wedding, she remained calm, organized, and proactive in EVERYTHING!

We have multiple family members and friends still sharing how memorable our wedding day was to them. A few have even asked us to personally tell Monica she did a wonderful job!

If you want a wedding planner who will support your wedding vision and 100% go all in with expertise and professionalism, look no further! From the initial consultation to our sparkler exit - Monica had us covered! #Bestweddingplannerever

Monica is the best!

Monica and her team are simply the best! We wish we would have hired Monica to plan our entire wedding, but having her and her team as our day-of planners was the best money we spent on our wedding. She and her team are able to respond to any situation with seamless poise. During stressful times of the day, Monica was there with thoughtful and reassuring guidance. I would recommend Nouveau Events to anyone planning a party/wedding/event!

Thank You!

Can't recommend Nouveau Events enough! We initially thought we could plan our wedding all on our own, however, I can say without hesitation that hiring Monica as our month/day-of coordination was one of the best decisions we made in the planning process. We had a 230 guest wedding with a ton of vendors (many out-of-state) and Monica lived up to the challenge. She helped us create a floor plan, very comprehensive timeline, coordinated between all our vendors, and made sure all our little details were accounted for! Thank you Monica for all your work in making our day run seamlessly.
