Stag and Lily is IT!! What a pleasure and relief it was to have Nicole in my life throughout the past year! As a Type-A girl, I like to plan things “my way,” and wanted a coordinator that would allow me the space to plan our wedding according to our vision, but also provide much-needed direction and handle all of the nitty gritty details and logistics leading up to and on the big day. Nicole did exactly that!

Along the way, Nicole provided a comprehensive site for us filled with guidance, planning documents, and timeline information. I was so incredibly prepared because of her and didn’t have to research a single thing on my own! She was also available for quick questions and check-ins leading up to her official “start time” three months before the wedding day, and that was such a relief!

Nicole’s expertise is undeniable. She of course knows the industry inside and out, but also went above and beyond to help execute our vision. She was always ready find solutions to venue restrictions, flexible with scheduling meetings, available and willing to chat about DIY ideas, and quick to provide clarity around contracts and vendor terms. On our wedding day, Nicole had everything running like a well-oiled machine. She set up all of the DIY decor exactly as I had envisioned, and I actually couldn’t even tell you everything Nicole did for us because I was just relaxing, being a bride. I owe that to her!

Nicole, Matt, and Hannah are so kind and spectacular - exceptional is their collective middle name. I could go on and on. The bottom line is, if you’re planning a wedding, you need to hire Stag and Lily!

Stag and Lily was so amazing to work with for my wedding day. I’m a perfectionist and was blown away by Nicole. She was so organized and extremely detail oriented. She made sure to have every detail touched on and covered — from ceiling to floor and across all vendors everything was exactly how I envisioned. We had several months of planning and phone calls and at the very end, I think Nicole knew more about my wedding than I did. So extremely professional and my wedding ran flawlessly. Everyone kept telling me that the wedding may not be perfect and to just go with the flow, so I went in with that mindset, but Nicole absolutely killed it and it was perfect. Everything went exactly as planned.

As a detail-oriented person, I wanted someone to come in the last three months and serve as a day of director. Nicole was absolutely the best person for the job.

First, during my initial calls trying to find the right planner, Nicole was a wealth of information. Before we even agreed to work together she was sharing tips about our venue, giving ideas and providing feedback on our concerns. I was absolutely sold.

Nicole has a robust planning site and tools to keep you on track. I was never concerned on forgetting something and she has helpful resources for every stage.

The day of, was not exactly how I planned per the weather, but I trusted Nicole whole heartedly to make recommendations and execute. She did wonderful! My parents and I were thrilled to feel Nicole take on the pressure of getting things done and staying on time.

I can’t recommend Nicole enough. I’m sad our time is over :)

If you're getting married soon and do not want to worry about the minute details of your wedding day, I would absolutely recommend working with Stag & Lily! Nicole was amazing!! She handled everything leading up to our wedding day - like coordinating all vendors, going over vendor contracts, setting up a day-of timeline, and more. Everything happened seamlessly! She made it so we could literally just worry about having fun :) Hire them and make your life easier!!!

I approached Nicole for planning my wedding at Upper Shirley Vineyards this April after every Bride’s nightmare-the event planner we had previously been working with had been so inattentive and unhelpful, we had to part ways. My first call with Nicole, every concern I had about finding the right planner melted away. Not only is Nicole insanely organized (her planning tools are unbelievably impressive, and cover topics most people would never think of on their own) but she is incredibly kind, down to earth, and acts as a true partner throughout the planning process. Nicole is so committed to her clients that she didn’t even take off from coordinating our wedding when she had her baby this spring!!

All in all, Nicole was an amazing resource, a wonderful friend, and gave us the wedding of our dreams. There was never a time I felt I couldn’t reach out to her with a silly question or to vent about a concern-she was always there. I’m so grateful for everything she did for me and my husband, before during and after the process-hiring Nicole will be the best decision you make when planning your wedding!!

Nicole and her team are the DREAM TEAM; highly organized, professional, personable, and communicative; this is what wedding dreams are made of! Nicole took such good care of us not only on our wedding day but leading up to our big day. She took the time to understand our vision and hopes for our special day. Everything was handled flawlessly. My family had such great things to say about how she and her team worked behind the scenes to ensure everything went off without a hitch. She communicated with our vendors and just made sure everything was beautiful from the timeline to the setup. I had so much confidence and trust in Nicole and knew I couldn't have asked for anyone else to help coordinate our day. It was perfect and an absolute dream come true. Thank you, Nicole and team!

My husband and I had three months to plan our wedding and we could not have made it without the help of Nicole with Stag & Lily. Our wedding ceremony was at Maymont and our reception was at the Hofheimer Building. Nicole made the wedding day go seamless with the vendors and coordination of events, so my husband and I could enjoy our big day with our friends and family. She has a lot of ties in the wedding community to help you find the vendors of your needs. She is organized, professional, a pleasure to be around and will tell you how it is to steer you in your desired direction. I absolutely recommend using Nicole with Stag and Lily for your event needs.

My wife and I engaged the services of Stag and Lily via a recommendation from a family friend. After an initial introductory meeting, we were thrilled to book Nicole and team to manage the details of our wedding day. We were provided excellent organizational tools and tips, which helped keep us on task and as stress-free as possible. Our wedding day was flawless - Stag and Lily brought our vision to life perfectly, kept everyone in line and on time, and were so sweet and professional all day long. It was amazing to walk into both our ceremony and reception and see the result of months of planning, executed to absolute perfection. Not a single detail was overlooked, and we received compliment after compliment about the beautiful atmosphere. Thanks so much, Nicole and team!

I had the best, most memorable time at my daughter’s wedding because I went perfectly — I didn’t have to worry about one detail thanks to excellent planning by Stag & Lily. Nicole is the best.

There is no way my husband and I would have had the amazing wedding we did without Stag & Lily. We were perhaps the laziest wedding planning partners imaginable, and Nicole was so organized and on top of it that we could be lazy - she made everything a breeze. She got us and what we wanted immediately from the day we met through the last dance. My mom even joked that during the wedding, whenever she would think, ‘oh, I need to find Nicole,’ there she would appear next to her! She literally has a 6th sense for what everyone needs, and always delivers. Hire her!
