Taylor A. Sent on 04/17/2024Best wedding planner money can buy!!
I would be sitting here for a week if I tried to write out how absolutely wonderful Nicole Sheppard is as a person and a planner. If you only read one thing in this review, know that Nicole/Wander treats you as if you are their only client. It was never difficult to get a hold of our planner, she never pushed us off to an assistant.
Words could seriously not describe how grateful I am to her. She did a fantastic job from start to finish. When I was having trouble articulating, she read my mind and put exactly what I was thinking into words. When my wedding dress wasn't right less than two weeks before the wedding, she was there for me, got in her car and brought it to a seamstress she trusts and it was resolved within the week. When multiple rounds of invite proofs came out, she would already have a list of feedback for the artist before I could even open my mouth, and all of it was exactly what I was thinking. When an issue arose with my guests after the reception, she handled it like an absolute pro. I had no idea it even occurred until she told me after the fact. She became my brain and I am unbelievably impressed with her talent. For a normally very anxious person, I have never felt more calm than I did the days leading up to my wedding and even the day of, to the point my family was worried about me (ha), and I completely owe that to Nicole and her team. She reassured me every step of the way and did an INCREDIBLE job with our wedding. If Nicole can deal with me and put *me* at ease, I promise you she can deal with anyone. -

I had the amazing opportunity to hire Nicole in 2019 when we were originally planning my wedding for May of 2020. Although the world had other plans for our 2020 wedding, and we eventually moved the wedding to July 2021, Nicole never missed a beat. As our plans kept changing, Nicole was there with unique, creative ideas to make sure that whatever the circumstances were by the time we got married, our vision would be brought to life. Nicole is incredibly hardworking, patient and flexible. She has a heart of gold and treats you as if you are her only client, even though she also runs an amazing wedding salon, Wander Atelier. She is incredibly organized and professional. She also knows so many people in the wedding industry and has a keen awareness of what her clients want. Throughout this entire three year process, Nicole was always available to answer any frantic questions that I had with the ever-changing wedding rules of 2020-2021. She had everything planned down to the minute and listened to all my comments and concerns. The work that she and her team did for my wedding was out of this world- so much so that almost a year after our wedding, I still cannot get over how absolutely perfect it was! My three day wedding had so many moving parts, but Nicole made all of these parts come together effortlessly. Choose All Who Wander Events and Nicole to turn your event into a dream. I am so lucky and grateful that I chose her for mine!! -

Diana Sent on 08/17/2019Best planner there is!
Literally the best. Our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of thanks to her. She is selfless, kind, calming and understanding whilst always taking control and managing all details and behind the scene crises that arise. No task is too large for Nicole. I don’t think she told me “no” once. I had very specific wants yet also an unclear vision for my wedding. Nicole took what I gave her and ran with it and my faith in her had me crying tears of joy on my wedding day. Her taste is impeccable and she can transform any space to make it stunning. Guests are still telling us how beautiful and we’ll-run every aspect of our weekend was - thanks to Nicole. If you have any concerns or problems during the planning process, she remains calm and has a solution instantly. She always makes you feel like you are the only wedding on her mind every time you meet or speak in persons, via email or text. Hire her if you want a beautiful, unique, personal, and well-run event. -

The best decision you will ever make
Nicole is the single best decision you will make in the wedding process - right up there with the decision to get married in the first place. Our wedding weekend was the most magical, perfect weekend of our lives and we owe that to Nicole’s artistic vision, her exceptional ability to execute, her superpower attention to detail, and her extraordinarily calm demeanor.
In order to understand just how versatile, kind, creative, sweet, accommodating, brilliant, and amazing Nicole is, here’s three things you need to know about us: 1) We have three sets of parents, all with lots of opinions and all of whom were involved in the planning; 2) We had three full events (Friday BBQ, Saturday Wedding, Sunday Brunch) with 200 guests invited to each; 3) I spent the year leading up to our wedding traveling across Africa and Asia for work, and had little time to plan.
Any one of those situations would have been challenging, but Nicole was never fazed and was always unfailing calm. She designed and executed a perfect weekend - every vendor she recommended was the perfect fit, every design detail (down to the customized cocktail napkins) was noticed and appreciated by guests. She helped us navigate our budget, knowing precisely where we should spend a little extra, and where we could save by taking a different route. She often took on DIY crafts herself (which came out looking professional); the lounge furniture she ordered made us want to hire her to decorate our apartment. Honestly, now that the wedding is over, we miss her presence in our life - our whole family does.
Finally, if the above doesn’t convince you maybe this will: 30 mins before we were set to walk down the aisle, one of my bridesmaids had a freak accident and got blood all over her (light gray) dress. Nicole cleaned her up, got the blood stains out of the dress, and sent her down the aisle looking as if nothing happened. The crazy part? I had NO IDEA IT EVEN HAPPENED. Didn’t even learn about the incident until the next day at brunch.
Nicole is literally that good. Hire her yesterday. -

Ricki S. Sent on 06/29/2019Amazing planner-hire her
Nicole was a dream to work with!!! I could give her vague direction and she would immediately know EXACTLY what was in my mind. She directed me to the perfect vendors for what i was
looking for (florist, caterer, etc) who were all equally as wonderful to work with. On the day of, everything ran SO much more smoothly than i could have ever imagined. Honestly, i kept waiting for something to go wrong, and I 100% attribute the fact that nothing did to Nicole. She also knew exactly how to manage my now husband (not easy)!!! If you are planning a wedding, you should DEFINITELY hire Nicole. She can interpret anything you imagine into reality and she's fun to work with!! -

Nicole is incredible! She helped create the perfect wedding.
Nicole is truly an amazing wedding planner! We could not have been happier with the perfect wedding weekend she helped create. On top of that, working with her was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. You should hire her immediately! Seriously. Don't miss out.
Nicole was everything we hoped for in a wedding planner and so much more. She was creative, attentive, hard working, organized, enthusiastic, and a lot of fun to work with. She continuously went above and beyond the call of duty to build our wedding into exactly what we hoped it would be, finding ways to make it all happen while staying focused on the budget. She was tireless in her pursuit of making us and our families happy (which often times meant a lot more work for her) and we all came to trust her judgment completely.
With her great taste and creativity, Nicole was able to transform our vision into a beautiful wedding that fit our personalities to the tee, collaborating with us every step of the way on design, food, booze, music, ceremony everything. She had so much versaility in her style, and listened so well to us, that whenever we felt that particular pieces weren't working she was ready with a suggestion that brought it all together. At the same time, we never felt pressured to take her suggestions or go with particular vendors and she always gave us honest, supportive, and helpful feedback.
Equaly important, NIcole was a master at making all of the moving parts run smoothly throughout the entire wedding weekend: the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, wedding, and brunch. The whole wedding felt seemless, which was a testament to her hard work and organization.
Nicole was also there for us when the planning process got difficult and tense (as it inevitably does) and always made us feel like she understood exactly what we were thinking and feeling. We ended up building a great friendship with Nicole, which was an unexpected but truly wonderful part of the process.
We miss working with Nicole and can't say enough about how great it was to have her as our wedding planner. We recommend her with unmitigated enthusiasm and without any reservations whatsoever. She is the best. -

James Sent on 06/12/2018Nicole combines the necessary qualities of great taste/creativity, attention to detail on the administration, close relationships with suppliers… and best of all - zero tolerance for the jokers looking to take advantage of a wedding - and there are many. Crucially, she’s easy to get hold of, and snappy on details small and large. Things just get done.
Even for the most organised of us, there are a number of aspects of wedding planning where experience really matters - how exactly do you arrange the license when you live in the city and your wedding is upstate? What about guests flying into the country who have never been to America before? Who’s going to: field endless questions, manage changes of mind about hotels, note dietary requirements - and on it goes. Answer: Nicole.
She’s cool under pressure. When a supplier or two needed whipping into line for taking liberties on pricing and sneaking extras onto the bill - she was brilliantly indifferent about throwing them overboard… in other words, she was on our side - and I’d say that matters most with your wedding planner. She transformed the barn at Liberty Farms into something really spectacular and heart-felt - beautifully realised and thought through. She over-delivered and nothing was too much. Above all, she really listens, and she wasn’t pushy on anything, ever. A great look all round. And she’s a lovely person. I’d gladly recommend her. -

User3072450 Sent on 05/30/2017As the father of the bride I can't say enough good things about Nicole. Our daughter could not have had the extraordinary wedding she had without Nicole's patient and unobtrusive guidance!
Planning a wedding for us was a very long process - we started nearly a year before the event and Nicole was responsive throughout. She has the patience of a saint! Never gets flustered and figures out the solution to any issue. She is also meticulous about staying within budget - all the overages were MY DOING! Haha.
Once you've given her your budget she can tailor the event to what works for you without any misleading promises - something a friend told me to beware of you. She is a woman of the highest integrity and the calmest demeanor. She also has wonderful working relationships with an extraordinary group of vendors and our event truly felt like a team effort in the very best way. I'm not sure there are enough nice things to say about Nicole short of I can't wait to do another party to use her talents again!
