Nicole Sent on 03/21/2025We love Nora!
As a (corporate) event planner, I have admittedly high standards and had big ideas, and Nora & her unbelievable team truly lived up to all of them. From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. The week leading up to our wedding brought major storms and tornados through Cleveland and she didn’t miss a beat — coordinating with my mom to problem solve before I even thought to check in with her. Nora was calm and resourceful, quickly finding solutions and ensuring the guest experience basically remained the same. Her attention to detail and ability to adapt to last-minute changes gave us peace of mind during what could have been a horribly chaotic time leading up to our wedding weekend.
The entire process felt seamless, and she truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical, no matter what the weather threw our way. Additionally, Nora provided fantastic wedding vendor recommendations, and each one was amazing! They were all talented professionals who made our day even more special. Nora turned our vision into a reality — we couldn’t have made a better pick! -

EWN made planning my wedding such a dream! We came to them in August with nothing but a venue, a hope and a wish and they seriously delivered. My wedding was truly the christmas magic I always dreamed of! They are extremely organized and each person that works for and with Nora brings certain strengths to the table that make them such a cohesive and efficient team. Highly recommend hiring Engaged With Nora if you want to make your dreams come true too! -

Gabby Sent on 11/04/2025Don't hesitate, just schedule a meeting!!
From our "interview" meeting with Nora, it was clear that we wanted to hire her to plan our wedding day - and from that moment on she did not disappoint. She was so detail oriented, proactive, kind, accommodating, and design focused. Our first meeting together was aligning on our "vision" for the event, and it is incredible how she was able to weave that vision into every aspect of the wedding day, only straying when we discussed it! She was creative when it came to our budget, suggesting inventive ways to incorporate creative cuts that would add personality to the day, and protected us as clients at all costs. She knew exactly what to invest in, who to hire, and where to cut back. It was so nice to be able to trust her to manage what we wanted right off the bat - and our wedding day not only aligned but far exceeded what we could have mapped out in that vision meeting. We chose a venue that provided truly NOTHING, and Nora was meticulous in making sure we had every single aspect of the day mapped out, down to the number forks. On the day of our wedding, we were at ease. Nora brought a team of 5 people that communicated through headsets, and I felt completely comfortable with the day in their hands and had no worries. Her bridal attendant, Lily, was so attentive and spectacular, and was such a calming presence to have by my side on the wedding day. She had everything you could ever need on her as well! I was so happy we hired the EWN team. We will never forget all the effort they all put in to make us the happiest with our wedding weekend that we could be, and how Nora added the extra touches to make it feel special and like our own. Nora was extremely responsive, answering emails within minutes, and was always tuned in whenever we needed something. Although she manages multiple weddings a year, we felt like we had her full attention throughout our process. She had tons of documents and spreadsheets keeping track of timelines, budgets, TODOs, etc, that satisfied even my strong type A personality. Nora and her team were a joy to work with, and I would say that hiring her as a planner was well worth the investment. It made the wedding planning journey so fun and memorable! -

Grateful for Nora’s Guidance and Care Throughout the Planning Process
We knew right after our first “get to know you” consultation with Nora, two years before our wedding, that we wanted to work with her. At that point, we had very little envisioned for our big day. My husband leaned toward a classic, old-school style, I wanted something romantic, and we both loved the idea of a classic Cleveland industrial wedding. Nora’s thoughtful questions helped us start to visualize our wedding, and she pitched so many fantastic ideas that fit both our budget and style, many of which we ended up using. Instagram and Pinterest can be a black hole of endless wedding ideas, but Nora has truly seen it all. She’s not afraid to tell you what works, what doesn’t, and how to refresh a trend to make it your own.
She was consistently attentive to the parts of the wedding we cared most about and wanted to splurge on, while also helping us identify areas we could scale back. Nora and her team were exceptional at coordination and logistics (which really showed on the wedding day), but what stood out most was their creativity, care, and thoughtfulness throughout the planning process. She graciously handled our endless questions and numerous small changes to stationery and seating charts. I was able to maintain a relatively low stress level throughout the entire process because we wholeheartedly trusted Nora’s expertise.
Working with Nora isn’t just about planning, styling, and coordination, she also knows the absolute best vendors across all price ranges. She helped us select every one of ours, and I was truly blown away by each vendor’s artistry, from photography and videography to florals, lighting, the band, the cake, and more. Her advice and vendor recommendations were probably the single most valuable part of working with her. I was the first of my friends to get married and had no idea which vendors to hire or how to choose. Nora recommended people who were not only talented and reliable, but whom she had worked with before, qualities you can’t always spot on Instagram.
If you’re engaged and wondering whether to hire a full-service wedding planner, do it. It was the best decision we made and saved us countless hours of research, stress, and dependence on family and friends.
It takes one look through her Instagram to know she can create a stunning wedding. If you’re considering booking Nora, do it. Her team made our day seamless, she puts so much intention into everything she delivers, and her style is both unique and chic. There’s no harm in setting up a call. And if you’re lucky enough to have a date that fits into her busy schedule you should probably go email her back. We can’t thank Nora enough for making our wedding day so perfect and so uniquely “us.”

Amber Sent on 06/17/2025Best Investment Ever
✨ There are wedding planners, and then there’s Nora. ✨
After nearly two years of planning calls, one unforgettable week in Greece, and a hometown reception that still has people talking, Nora didn’t just plan our wedding—she became part of our family. 💛
From day one, she was prepared, organized, calm, and confident. Her professionalism was matched only by her warmth, and she carried us through every decision (big or small) with grace. Planning an international wedding and a local reception could’ve been overwhelming—but thanks to Nora, Casey, and their incredible team, both events felt seamless and stress-free. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of it all.
We would hire Nora 10x over. No hesitation. She’ll be our first call for every milestone ahead—baby showers, anniversaries, vow renewals—you name it. If it matters to you, trust Nora to make it unforgettable. -

Madiha Sent on 06/01/2025Nora - the complete package !
Wow, creative, organized, well-connected, and almost prescient with her ability to navigate the drama. We knew we wanted help to create a memorable day, and she delivered! From concept to design to execution, she facilitated everything. She asked a quick series of questions with exciting visual examples to spark our creativity and get a vibe for what we wanted as individuals and as a couple. Our wedding was also multicultural (Pakistani and American), incorporating traditions from both cultures. Then, taking our nascent ideas, she built up and around us to provide a concept that blew us away. It’s like she knew us better than we knew ourselves.
Nora then paired us with curated vendors that we could select from to make things simply perfect. She kept us on task with gentle reminders that didn’t provoke my dislike of structure but simultaneously gave my partner the order she thrived in. Nora struck the balance between us, making us feel heard, valued, and catered to. She was funny, creative, and thoughtful. During the wedding, Nora and her team were on top of every detail. The groom had a wardrobe malfunction 10 minutes before the ceremony, and Nora had everything on site ready to address it.
Hands down, the best decision we made, other than my partner, was having Nora plan the perfect day. -

Sara Sent on 05/06/2025What a wonderful experience and team!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Savanah Pfister from Engaged With Nora for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Savanah was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and responsive. She truly thought of everything and made the entire planning process so much smoother.
On the wedding day itself, Savanah was a calming, professional presence who ensured everything ran perfectly. Thanks to her careful coordination and attention to detail, the day went off without a hitch and we were able to fully enjoy every moment without stress.
We’re so grateful for all the hard work Savanah put in to make our day beautiful and seamless. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, thoughtful, and truly committed to making your wedding vision a reality, we can’t recommend her and the Engaged With Nora team enough! -

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Nora and we cannot recommend her services highly enough! From the very beginning, her attention to detail was unparalleled. Every aspect of our special day was meticulously planned, ensuring a seamless and breathtaking celebration.
Nora's communication was exceptional throughout the entire process. She kept us informed every step of the way, promptly answering our questions and providing thoughtful guidance. Whether it was coordinating with vendors, creating timelines, or offering creative suggestions, she made sure we felt supported and stress-free.
What truly sets Nora and her team apart is their ability to listen and bring our vision to life. They took the time to understand our style and preferences, transforming our ideas into reality with elegance and charm. The personalized touches they incorporated made our wedding feel so unique and reflective of us as a couple.
Not only were they professional and organized, but they also brought a sense of calm and positivity to the entire planning process. Their warm and caring demeanor made it feel like we were working with a trusted friend who genuinely cared about our happiness.
If you want a wedding planner who is detail-oriented, communicative, creative, and dedicated to making your day unforgettable, look no further than Engaged with Nora.

We would recommend Engaged With Nora to anyone planning a wedding!
Our experience with Nora and her team was nothing short of amazing. From our first meeting, Nora immediately made us feel comfortable and willing to put our trust in her right away. We truly did not know a single thing about planning a wedding and she made the process so enjoyable for us and less stressful. She also is one of the most creative people we have met in this industry, and made any ideas we had ten times better. Her and her team were so organized, detail oriented, friendly, responsive, and truly some of the best people. They were always willing to answer our million questions and made our day more amazing than we thought possible. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a wedding and I promise you that your wedding will be magical. We will always remember the crucial impact Engaged With Nora had on making our wedding day perfect! -

Lauren Sent on 09/21/2024The absolute best!
Choosing to hire Nora and work with the Engaged With Nora team for our wedding was easily the best decision we could have made. From day one, Nora's professionalism and enthusiasm shined through and we felt so supported throughout the entire process. She kept us on track and made the wedding planning process fun and low stress. All of our vendors were recommended by Nora and we feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with them all. She truly understood our vision (honestly probably better than we did ourselves) and took our interests and personalities and created the wedding design of our dreams. The team communicated so well with us, and were also just fun to have around on our special day. And on our day, when a few things came up that were out of any of our control, she handled it with ease, allowing us to truly just enjoy the moment. The day went even better than we ever could have dreamed, and our guests are still telling us what a wonderful time they had. If you're on the fence, do not hesitate to work with this incredible team! -

I wish I could do more than 5 stars! Truly an incredible team...from start to the very end. I do not know how I would have managed this process, and especially "the day" without them. From the templates to the email reminders to the vendor coordination...Krista thought of everything (and then some). She was even watching the weather (when I refused) to let me know it was time to order pashminas from Amazon...and even gave me the link. On wedding day, Casey, Ciara and Krista ensured everything was smooth and exactly what I wanted it to be. If you are on the fence...do it! -

Marquez Sent on 09/01/2024Our wedding was perfect because of you
We wouldn't have been able to have such a memorable day with Engaged With Nora and Robin. From the first virtual meeting, the incredible GOOGLE Doc and Checklist, to all the frantic emails to the final day. We couldn't have asked for better assistance with planning our big day. So many of our family and friends told us this was the best wedding they have attended and couldn't believe it started on time, had no hiccups and that everything was just so elegant and ran smoothly. Robin and team were a class act and made the day so easy for us and made sure we had drinks all night long. My mom who plans lots of events said "wow, you all didn't miss a beat with anything. We can't say enough great things about them. -

Kelli Sent on 07/17/2024Takes all Wedding Stress Away!
Where do I even begin talking about our experience with Engaged & Co. From our initial meeting with Casey I had a good feeling about this. Then I was introduced to Tori for our lead planner and she exceeded all expectations to making our wedding day flawless. From meetings to emails to countless text messages Tori delivered through it all. Tori is genuine, detail oriented, creative, and dang right fun! Tori and Engaged & Co want the very best for each couple they work with and it was so evident to see during our time together. Tori took the stress away from wedding planning and made it truly fun and relaxing. She was by our side all day and made sure everything went smoothly and if there were any hiccups we were unaware of it because of how she handled it. Tori and her team made our wedding day a true Happily Ever After! -

Hiring Engaged w. Nora was by far the best decision we made for our wedding day/planning process. From top to bottom my fiance and I were blown away with how smoothly this all went for us. The one thing we could not control was the weather, and even then Nora and her team made sure we had a plan C! I didnt feel any sense of worry or dread when I knew we had to pivot our original plans. Our day was perfect. Working with Nora and here team was perfect. She walked us to our car at the end of the night making sure we had all of our belongings and sent us on our way- hello angel!
Special thank you to Tori for spending my wedding day with me and my family ensuring we had everything we needed! She was so calm and fun to be around!
I would put my complete trust with Nora and her team over and over again. I wish I could have another wedding just to work with them again! -

Lauren Sent on 03/19/2024Best Vendor of Our Wedding Day
I can’t recommend Engaged with Nora enough!! My husband and I planned our wedding over 2.5 years + truly cannot imagine our wedding day without Nora and her team. Nora was there to answer any and every question I had, making me feel calm and comfortable throughout my (somewhat long) planning journey. Tori was an absolute dream to work with as well, she and Nora were my righthand women! EWN will forever feel like family! Do yourself and book them for the best day of your life -- they made the entire experience so special and will do everything in their power to make your wedding day absolutely perfect. -

Jaime Sent on 03/02/2024Hire them!!!!
We absolutely loved working with Robin from Engaged with Nora! She was the calm and collected presence that we desperately needed! We are beyond thrilled that we booked coordination services for our wedding and would recommend to absolutely anyone to book this team for planning or coordination! Robin was understanding about all the emotions surrounding wedding planning, and helped me keep track of all the insane, personal, and hand-painted details I made for our wedding (I am an artist and when I tell you I did too much… I did TOO MUCH lol). She helped us stay organized and on top of everything. While we still planned everything ourselves, we got some great vendor recommendations from the engaged team throughout the process that we were really happy with. We also had help along the way, with our 3 month coordination consultation call, and then having Robin and Nora with us at our final venue walk through a month before the wedding, and finally having them take over all vendor communications the week leading up to the wedding! It made the last few days absolutely easy breezy, so we could just enjoy every moment!! And goodness gracious, if we didn’t have her there with us that day, as well as some amazing assistants, I don’t know what we would have done! Having her there helped me feel literally the most present I’ve ever felt in my life. I have truly never been more focused on everything happening and just able to enjoy a day so fully as on my wedding day. I hardly touched my phone. If I didn’t know where something was, I knew Robin did. She brought me my shoe change once my heels were starting to hurt before I even had a chance to ask for them. She helped coordinate a golden hour photo shoot outside the venue with the giant backdrop I painted, and did it sooo smoothly! It started behind our head table and we wanted it to land on the side of the room at our “selfie station” for guests to use as a backdrop, and no one even realized that it had been gone for a few minutes for the shoot or that it was moved at all! I thought it might be clunky and be a huge, obvious thing, but they were so slick. And when we were outside with it for the photos, her assistants literally held it in place so the wind didn’t knock it over! Talk about above and beyond! She was truly so on top of everything, and we were beyond grateful to have her and the team with us all day to make everything go so stinking smoothly!! I highly recommend these awesome ladies to make your wedding day the best it can be!! -

Sam from Engaged with Nora did an absolutely phenomenal job coordinating our wedding! I was so impressed with her ability to run our wedding smoothly. Everything went perfectly on our Big Day and I give Sam all the credit for making that happen. She did a great job of thinking steps ahead during the process to make sure everything and everyone was where they needed to be. I can’t speak highly enough about her! -

Marie Sent on 12/11/2023Far beyond my expectations!
Engaged with Nora, specifically Samantha Lutch who was our wedding coordinator was absolutely amazing! We could never have had our dream day without her. She started working with us a few months out and was on top of it all. She made planning a wedding from across the country easy. She always made time to talk through things when I was feeling overwhelmed and made sure we had enough time before anything actually needed to be done. She so strong encouraged making our day, OUR day, just the way we wanted it to be. Her planning skills and lovely personality, organization and confidence made everything run so smoothly. I am still blown away at how perfectly our day came together and how relaxed I felt from start to finish. Many, many family and friends couldn't say enough positive things about Sam the coordinator. I highly recommend choosing her! -

The Best Decision!
Words truly cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Nora, Casey and the entire Engaged with Nora team. Beyond the impeccable design and perfect organization, the peace of mind we had working together was priceless.
I came to Nora in a bit of a panic at the start of my wedding planning experience and knew I wanted to work with her right from our first conversation. After moving forward with the partial planning package she provided recommendations, checklists and constant email support for everything we needed as we selected vendors and made changes. As a type-A bride I had so many questions and details to discuss, but Nora and the team were consistency one step ahead of me. I always felt more calm, centered and excited after every meeting.
Nora created a design for our day that I never could have brought together myself. She incorporated inspiration from our favorite restaurants and travel locations that culminated in an evening that felt so beautiful and authentic to who we are. Nora was also an incredible advocate for us, working with vendors to take on things outside of the norm to ensure our vision could come to life. Her willingness and ability to support us in these situations was such a comfort and took so much off of our plate.
Casey lead during the wedding weekend and went above and beyond any planner I've seen from steaming the bridesmaid dresses to coordinating our extended family members with so much kindness. Our families got to sit back and enjoy the wedding day as guests because Casey and the team were handling every detail and keeping us informed as the day progressed.
This day truly would not have been possible without Nora, Casey and their incredible team. -

Wedding Planner
Engaged with Nora was AMAZING. I will be honest that when I was first looking for vendors I was hesitant on if we needed a planner. I’m SO GLAD that we dove right in with Nora and her team! I would not have been able to plan my wedding without them. I did partial planning and my only regret is not doing full planning! Nora and Sam we incredibly thorough and detail oriented. They kept me on task with our to do list and made it so easy for me by arranging lists and check boxes. They also made an incredible time line for the wedding weekend and day!!! It was broken down so well and answered all of my families and wedding parties questions. On wedding day Sam was my right hand girl, she kept the timeline going, communicated with vendors, and made sure I could relax and enjoy my day. Engaged with Nora is the way to go- they are the reason I was able to have the wedding of my dreams - black& white, modern, chic, classy and romantic. Love this team so much! 🥹 -

They say nothing is perfect, but it’s hard to convince me that our experience with Nora wasn’t beyond it. I’ve been dreading writing this review because it’s impossible to find the words for how IMMENSELY grateful we are for Nora and her team, not just on our wedding day but throughout the entire process. Every single meeting that we had with her took loads off of our shoulders, and it blew our minds how she was able to seamlessly solve every problem or concern we had. No challenge is too difficult for Nora.
Beyond her professionalism, prompt responsiveness, care, attention to detail, Nora truly made us feel like we were her only client. She is one of the best listeners and acts on every wish/concern you might have. The week before our wedding was SO relaxed because of her - every detail was pre-planned so far in advance and she made it so easy to put our full trust in her.
Nora and her team truly care as if it’s their own wedding. Going with Nora, you are truly in the best hands possible and will never have a reason to worry. We are forever grateful for every single ounce of effort her and her team put into making our day absolutely perfect! -

Emily with Engaged & Co. helped us stay on track and nail down every detail ahead of time so we could let go of the planning and enjoy our wedding when it came to the day. For the price of the coordination package, we got so much value. They even ran out to buy more tequila when we ran out before dinner.
One of the strengths of the team is their knowledge of the venues and familiarity with the staff at other vendors. Our officiant said the day-of timelines that Emily produced and distributed were one of the best things he's ever seen from a planner.
I truly can't imagine my wedding day without the help of the coordination team. I'd recommend them to anyone. -

Alexandra Sent on 09/12/2023Peace of mind for this Type A bride
I've always found it challenging to entrust important tasks to others, especially when it came to something as significant as our wedding day. However, given the inevitable chaos of the wedding month, week, and day, I realized that I needed someone to help alleviate the stress. That's when I decided to enlist the services of Engaged and Co. for wedding coordination, and I was fortunate to be paired with Tori.
Starting three months before the big day, Tori proved to be an invaluable asset. She meticulously guided me through every detail, offering insights and pointing out things to consider, which I, as a first-time bride, would have otherwise overlooked. Tori also began working on a draft timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly.
As the month of the wedding approached, Tori's involvement became even more integral. She attended all of our final vendor meetings, becoming intimately familiar with every aspect of our wedding plans. During the week of the wedding, she took over all communication with our vendors, sparing me the stress and worry.
On the day of the wedding, Tori went above and beyond. She ensured we were well taken care of, providing us with drinks and making sure we were properly fed. Meanwhile, she worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life in the reception space. With her incredible attention to detail and organizational skills, I didn't have to second-guess whether everything was being handled – I knew it was.
Tori's expertise and dedication played a pivotal role in making our wedding day a success. I can't thank her enough for easing our worries and allowing us to fully enjoy moments like getting ready, our first look, and photos. Engaged and Co. and Tori were a true blessing, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience. -

Laurel Sent on 08/29/2023Booking EWN was WITHOUT A DOUBT the best wedding decision we made
Booking Nora, Casey, and the EWN team for our wedding was undeniably the best decision we made and money spent on our big day! I cannot even begin to recommend them highly enough to do their incredible creativity, patience, kindness, attention to detail, and expertise justice.
Let's rewind: I'm a type-A, do-it-yourself, design-focused bride. Right after my now-husband proposed, I was convinced I was going to plan our entire wedding myself and I didn't need any planning support. He had the foresight to know that finding at least a partial planner from the get-go would be *life-changing* for the 16 months of planning that lied ahead, and I caved and agreed to it. (little did I know he would be SO very right). After talking to a few options, EWN was the absolute most obvious choice, and I could tell Nora and Casey were going to be great partners in making our vision a reality.
Over the 16 months that ensued, Nora (as our planning lead) quickly became a close friend, confidant, mediator, and creative collaborator. She had the patience for my long emails with laundry lists of questions and ideas, she brought the excitement about choosing every single little detail, she connected us with some wildly talented vendors, and she had the most incredible worksheets and resources to make sure that we stayed on track every step of the way. Nora let me lead the event design, as I had wanted, but she was quick to provide supportive feedback and nudge me when she knew something wasn't going to turn out precisely as I envisioned. It was always a "yes, and" with Nora, never a "no you can't," and our collaboration made our day more thoughtful and beautiful than we could have ever dreamed.
Fast forward to the day of. Wow. Casey, as our lead coordinator, was our best buddy and right-hand gal every second of the day, and I honestly felt like I was hanging out with a long-time girlfriend. She put out fires I didn't even know were burning, assured me things were fine and on time, and still had time to pay attention to the smallest details. I don't want to ruin any surprises for future couples, but the thoughtful details kept appearing, even after we had returned to our suite at the end of the night!! Our bridal party and family could not stop talking about how much they loved having Casey around the whole day, and we couldn't agree more! She is the BEST.
Then of course there is the rest of the EWN team! My only regret is not spending MORE time with them because they were all magnificent. They took the decor pieces we had gathered over 16 months of planning and made Tenk absolutely shine. They even added their own creative flair, which filled our day with moments of surprise and delight.
All this to say: you 10000% need to book Nora, Casey, and the EWN team for your wedding. No questions asked. They will absolutely go above and beyond not just to make your wedding day, but your entire engagement, ~*magical.*~ -

Engaged with Nora was an amazing company to work with! We couldn't imagine how our entire planning process and wedding day would have been like without the help of Engaged With Nora and Emily! Emily went above and beyond, was always reachable, and was beyond organized. All of our other vendors and our family and friends had nothing but positive things to say about Emily, how organized she was, and how efficient she was. Our wedding day went perfectly and we know we have a lot of that to owe to Emily and all of her hard work! -

We worked with Tori Santiago for our wedding on June 2nd. She and her team were amazing! From day 1, they helped us with planning and gave us tips or advice on how to make our wedding vision come to life. I was finishing medical school, so my schedule was all over the place, but Tori was super responsive and fun to talk to, which always helps! She was there from set up the day before to well after I left on the wedding night. It was so nice to have someone there to move things along and make sure everything happened the way we wanted it. I even had a dress malfunction that she came running to help with! I highly recommend Engaged with Nora. Could not have asked for a better coordinator. -

If you’re reading this review, STOP AND BOOK IMMEDIATELY so you don’t miss out on the best wedding planning team in the industry!! Also, ladies if you have a man who keeps saying you don’t need a coordinator, ignore him and book anyways like I did! He said he couldn’t be more thankful I didn’t listen to him! 😂 We had a lot of moving pieces with our wedding and Casey at engaged with Nora made every little piece fall perfectly into place. I wish I could get married again to work with Casey and her team one more time!!!! AN ABSOLUTE DREAM. -

Hire Nora and Casey for the wedding day of your dreams!!!
If there is one thing you need to do to make your wedding day beautiful, calm, organized, and seamless, it is hiring Engaged with Nora. I cannot speak highly enough of EWN. They literally gave my husband and me a wedding that exceeded our wildest dreams!
My husband and I planned our wedding at the Cleveland Museum of Art from our home in NYC, and we knew as soon as we dug into the initial planning phase that we needed help. We sought out a wedding planner about a year before our October 2022 event to assist with florals/decor, Cleveland-based vendor suggestions, and month-of planning.
We knew as soon as we met Nora for an initial consultation over Zoom that her team would be a perfect fit for us. Nora walked us through a very detailed questionnaire about our wishes/ideas/inspiration for our wedding and showed us her massive array of super detailed spreadsheets, Google Drive folders, etc. to keep everything organized during the planning process. To be honest, Nora's organizational skills and attention to detail sold me right then and there! I knew that we would be in good hands with someone so organized, especially when planning from several states away.
Based on the questionnaire, Nora created a STUNNING mood board that would guide all of our wedding-related decisions moving forward. We found this step to be so helpful in creating a cohesive event and to ensure that all of our small decisions would create a beautiful whole. It was also fun to show it off to friends and family - it really helped us get excited to see the final product!
Nora assigned another planner on her team, Casey Hoxworth, to guide us through the remainder of our wedding planning. I am not exaggerating when I say that we absolutely could not have had a successful wedding day without Casey and her helpers from EWN. Casey was by my side from the morning while I was getting ready with my mom and bridesmaids until the very end of the reception and made sure I had everything I needed at all times. Casey calmed me down when I was feeling anxious, she kept everyone on schedule perfectly, and she communicated efficiently with all of our vendors to ensure that my husband and I got exactly the experience we wanted out of our wedding day. She also reminded us to have fun and took care of us in small but extremely thoughtful ways, like bringing us each our signature drink as soon as the reception started. This thoughtfulness was emblematic of how Casey treated us throughout our wedding day, and left such a positive impression on both of us.
Our experience with Casey and the entire EWN team truly could not have been better, and hiring them was one of the absolute best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. The entire team is kind, funny, and EXTREMELY talented at what they do. They are also incredible at prioritizing what YOU want out of your day, because that is what matters most. Hire EWN - you will be SO happy you did! -

Michelle Sent on 01/07/2023Best Decision was Hiring Engaged With Nora (Ask for Casey!)
Where do I even begin!? We hired Engaged With Nora to help us with Coordination, and it was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. We got paired with Casey, who specializes in Coordination, and I cannot have imagined a better person to have alongside our wedding journey. We wanted to DIY our wedding, partly because I love personalization and crafting and partly because of budget constraints. But one thing that was really important to me was to have someone on the day of who could handle all the details I'd worked so hard on, so I was free to actually enjoy my day. I am still truly amazed with how much Casey & her EWN team (shout out to Macy & Mary) did for us. I was so impressed with the amount we got for our Coordination package. It was so much more than day-of coordination like I had expected; we got planning spreadsheets, Casey met with us several times before, she took over communication with vendors, had walkthroughs, setup/tear down help, AND every ounce of logistics and emotional support on the day-of. We were planning our Ohio wedding remotely from Virginia, and Casey made the effort to ensure her services were still exceptional regardless of distance. The overwhelming emotions and stress of the actual wedding day were significantly reduced because of Casey. She was supportive and positive and 100% there for us in whatever we needed. Not only did she always know what was happening and kept everyone on schedule, but she even fixed our day-of surprise oopsies with ease and grace (like finding a way to get the champagne for our pre-ceremony picnic that we had left in a locked building!). They handled vendor deliveries, and did a ton of work to set up our decor for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces, and it all looked beautiful. Her attention to detail and confidence in her job made me relax and trust her throughout the process (which is really saying something because I am very Type-A!) I truly felt Casey cared about us and our day on a personal level. I am so grateful for the Engaged with Nora team, and for all that Casey did to make our day the best it could be. If I could recommend one thing from our wedding experience, it would absolutely be the Engaged with Nora services. Do yourself a favor and contact them! -

If you are considering working with Nora and her team, do it! I want to get married all over again just to have Casey organize one of my days (seriously, I have never walked a day on this earth where everything was so... easy). We were very fortunate to work with so many amazing and talented vendors on our wedding day, but Casey and her team were the glue that held the whole team together. Casey went above and beyond all day. I overheard many other vendors complimenting how organized she and her team are and that they have never seen a wedding planner help with some of the tasks Casey was willing to jump in to assist with. We had a detail session a few months before the wedding which gave the final, stressful months of planning structure and clear direction for my husband and I. I’m sure there are countless other things she did behind the scenes that my husband and I didn’t even realize, but she made the whole experience extremely low stress, and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. Nora, who I only met a handful of times, always remembered me and something about our initial conversation and brought me in for a hug when she saw me in the office. They were so welcoming at our in-person meetings, and accommodating when we were not able to be there in-person with virtual options. Right before booking with Nora, I had been to a wedding where the planner was very disorganized and asked the bridal party for assistance and guidance with key details during the wedding. That experience encouraged me to take my search for a wedding coordinator very seriously. Choosing Nora's team was an easy decision that I was so glad I had made again and again throughout the process. -

Nora and her team are absolute rock stars and made our wedding weekend run SO smoothly. We continue to reminisce of how special our wedding weekend was and can’t help but give credit to a lot of that to Nora and her team. So many of the small little details, coordination and behind the scenes operations were beyond amazing because of her. I was calm throughout the entire process because I knew Nora could and would handle anything and everything. The help and support she offered went beyond her job responsibilities and we felt as if it were a friend offering us help. I would highly recommend Nora and her team to anyone! -

Honestly, there isn’t enough that could be said about Nora and her crew. I am a very detail oriented and high strung person, and they honestly made me feel like everything was under control every step of the way. Engaged with Nora took into consideration every detail we wanted for our wedding and provided us with a night we will not easily forget. From helping us secure some of the best vendors we could find to picking up the pieces when others faltered. When they say they will keep your wedding day stress free, they truly mean it. I would absolutely book them again and again. -

Couldn't recommend Nora more if I could. She was absolutely incredible from day one and made the entire stressful wedding process actually enjoyable and fun. I honestly don't know how she could have been more helpful and perfect. -

Lauren Sent on 10/04/2022Don't think twice about working with this incredible team!
We couldn't be happier to have worked with the Engaged & Co. (Engaged with Nora) team. From day one the team was professional & respected our wedding investments as if they were working with their own funds. The helpful documentation & tasks gave me insight to exactly what to expect & kept me organized over the months of planning. With Casey leading the charge, we felt a constant sense of security & calm through every step of planning our wedding. No question or ask was too small for Casey, she happily provided us with genuine advice. My husband & I were truly able to relax & soak up the wedding weekend knowing Casey & Emily were taking care of everything. I know for certain our day wouldn't have been as special as it was without this team! My deepest gratitude to Casey, Emily & Nora. I couldn't give a stronger recommendation to work with Engaged & Co. THANK YOU!!! -

Before I hired Nora and her team, I was stressed and had no clue what I was doing, but after Nora, I had not a single worry. Her and her team of highly professional, courteous, and caring individuals answered all of our questions, and essentially took the reins and made our vision come to life. She kept us informed every step of the way; I knew exactly what needed to be done by me or by her and when it needed to be completed thanks to her extremely organized google docs. I cannot recommend Nora enough! Somehow she took what I imagined and made it better! Our day was perfect and stress free all because of her and her team! -

Nancy Sent on 06/14/2022Working with Nora was a dream!
From our first meeting where she asked what our three goals were for the wedding until we drove away on Saturday night, she was right there with us and for us. It seems that every goal was accomplished as we checked each box along the way. Her professionalism and willingness to roll with everything and step in under every circumstance was phenomenal and she made what might have been a very stressful planning time into a smooth and easy process. Her recommendations for vendors were spot on as well, matching us with the right people for the job. It really was a wonderful wedding filled with magical moments ‐ everything ran so smoothly and according to plan, and we know that was 100% because of Nora and her team! Now if she could just figure out how to control the weather for future clients. ;)

Kelsey Sent on 06/13/2022We loved!
If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, DO IT and hire Nora, Samantha, and team. We were unsure at first whether this was another wedding expense we wanted to take on, but it was hands down the best investment we made.
We worked most closely with Samantha and she is amazing. She took care of so much, including things I never would have thought of. I felt like I could really relax and be in the moment because I knew she was on top of everything. Our families and wedding party commented multiple times throughout the day how great she and the team were.
Fun anecdote: moments before the flower girl walked down the aisle she accidentally ripped a tassel off the pillow she was carrying. Nora sprung into action with a safety pin and fixed it just in time.
I only got married two days ago and I’ve already recommended Engaged with Nora to others. They went above and beyond! As my man of honor said, ‘Sam is a literal icon.’ -

Nora and her team were amazing! I knew I wanted someone else to take on the organization for the day, so I hired her right away, one of the first parts of the planning process. She helped with vendor recommendations, design, decor, and of course the entire coordination piece. And she didn't just coordinate the wedding day, she also organized vendors, details, and reminders the whole week before the wedding and ran the rehearsal! She assisted with a carsick bridesmaid like it was no big deal, warmed my ears when they were cold, checked in with us all many times throughout the day, and most importantly, managed my dress like an absolute boss woman!! She had suggestions and methods for everything from how to cut the cake to how to pee in my big ballgown dress. Seriously above and beyond in every way throughout the entire day. I cannot recommend enough!! -

Jeanette Sent on 10/06/2021Engaged with Nora is the best wedding planning team!
Nora and her team were absolutely fantastic and essential to the success of our recent wedding! If I could give more than 5-stars I totally would. We hired Engaged with Nora for the Partial Planning and she helped us plan our dream wedding in less than 7 months. During the planning phase, Nora was so helpful to us staying on budget, making design decisions, hiring the right vendors, as well as creating a floorplan and timeline. However, the week of the wedding and day-of is where her team was truly essential to execute the wedding. I was able to have a stress free week and day-of wedding knowing her and her team had everything handled. It was exactly how we planned and whole event went off without an issue. After having just gone through this experience, I would tell any future bride the importance of hiring a planner. I really could not have done it without Nora! She is true professional and has a wealth of knowledge that was so important to have alongside us while being engaged. -

If you are in search of a wedding planner, look no further than Engaged with Nora. We could not be more satisfied with our perfect day, thanks to the hard work and skillful planning of Nora and her team. Our wedding day was everything we had imagined and more.
Going into wedding planning, we were overwhelmed at first. Where to start? What style do we want? How do we think about flowers, vendors, etc.? We knew right away we wanted a wedding planner. After our first meeting with Nora, we felt she was the perfect fit. We were SO right. Nora was with us from the very beginning of our journey. She listened to our concerns, kept us on track with budget, and captured exactly what we wanted from our wedding day.
We also planned a Cleveland-based wedding all the way from San Francisco. Nora was there to guide us the entire time and we never felt isolated from her and the planning process. She is attentive, quick to respond, and keeps you as informed as you want to be. For us, this meant focusing on bigger details and not as much on the smaller details. So much of our stress was alleviated by Nora knowing and listening to where we wanted to focus our planning energy.
A huge thing for us was that we did not want our wedding to break the bank. We wanted a fun, beautiful wedding without the expensive price tag so many weddings require. Nora absolutely nailed our minimalist style while making everything look so elegant. If you look at our wedding, you could easily assume we spent double our budget. That’s how good Nora is. If you want a more extravagant wedding, I can guarantee Nora will nail this as well (we’ve attended one of her more extravagant weddings, too!).
Let’s not forget to mention the day of the wedding. Wow!! Nora and her team worked so hard to bring our day to life. We were not stressed at all on the day of the wedding. No need for family to pitch in with set up or tear down or for last minute frantic calls to vendors - Nora and her handled everything impeccably. They took away all of our stress and allowed us to just sit back and enjoy the day. Nora also fixed a dress mishap and was able to make some last minute sewing adjustments/alterations to my wedding dress in a pinch.
We could talk all day about how wonderful Nora is, but we will leave you with this - we have referred Nora to 2 other family members already for their wedding event planning needs. She will forever be who I recommend to anyone getting married in Ohio and beyond! Hire Engaged with Nora and I promise you will be so glad you did!

Absolutely amazing!
Nora and her team are amazing! I honestly called Nora my fairy godmother. She ensured my day went smoothly, decorated wonderfully and kept me calm the entire day. I had a few hiccups before my wedding day and Nora managed to solve everyone of them. My husband agrees that booking Nora was the best thing we could have done. She constantly provides support, guidance, organization and time management. I recommend that everyone who is getting married books with Nora, because she will help make sure your dream wedding comes true. Jamie and I are so grateful to Nora and her team! -

I am an obsessive worrier and being mother-of-bride was no exception! My daughter decided to change her venue due to the pandemic from a country club to a backyard wedding. With this change our "to-do" list grew and my anxiety rose! From the moment I met Nora and her assistant I knew everything would be ok. Did I mention the wedding party consisted of 13 groomsmen and 13 bridesmaids? My daughter's wedding was flawless and I was able to relax and live in the moment. I enjoyed every minute of the day! -
