Ann M. Sent on 05/09/2023Nicole-Our Destination Wedding Savior!
We are so grateful that we used Nicole to plan our destination wedding. She is Phoenix based, but was extremely knowledgeable about our venue in Sedona, AZ. We decided on a destination wedding, and being on the east coast and planning a west coast wedding without Nicole would've been an absolute nightmare. She negotiated a better rate with our venue, she connected us with vendors (DJ, Florist, etc) that was within our budget. She also willingly accepted numerous packages of wedding decor/supplies at her home and transported them to Sedona for us. She was easily reachable both by phone/text and email. By the end of our wedding planning, I wouldn't consider her a planner, but more of a lifelong friend. She was a pleasure to work with during the planning process, and was there for everything during the wedding weekend. From helping manage a snowstorm rehearsal dinner to keeping everyone on track on the wedding day, as well as supporting me and my husband throughout the day, Nicole really did it all, she was WELL worth the investment. I would highly recommend her for any event! -

Hire Nicole to Ease Your Mind on Your Wedding Day
We hired Nicole after interviewing three other vendors. Her pricing and offerings were by far the most inclusive. No limits to communication and her having three people there on the day of for coordination were our top reasons for hiring her. We were not disappointed.
Ours was Nicole's first Lebanese wedding, and she handled all the cultural elements expertly.
Our wedding required a lot of last minute logistical shifts, mostly driven by the large size of the event (not to mention rain on the day of) Nicole rolled with the punches and kept me out of it, which is a huge gift. I had the best day of my life, and Nicole made sure of it. -

The last 45 days before our wedding were crazy! From loosing TWO(!) original coordinators after a completely unexpected change in venue, the minute Nicole stepped in, she saved our day! She helped us navigate a tricky 175 person DIY home wedding with a grace! From dealing with insurance curveballs, to basically becoming a family therapist, to tricky day-of venue situations, to late DJs, she kept our party moving and made sure my Husband and I enjoyed every moment of the build up. The MINUTE she came into our lives, she took over the nitty gritty liability details of hosting a big DIY wedding and took a thousand pounds of stress off of our shoulders. Day of, after our grand entrance, we sat down to FULL plates of all of the appetizers we had so excitedly hand chosen and missed out on to take pictures. Her attention to US and OUR details was worth every penny. Our only regret was not finding her and involving her in our planning process sooner. Brides: SNAG THIS GENIUS UP, and she will make YOUR dreams come true, fit it in your budget, AND tell your families' unwanted opinions to 'take a hike' but she will do it in a way that makes them think it's their idea. Nicole is a go-getter, and a skillful, patient, and kind communicator. An ASSET to our day.Nicole Arend Weddings & Events's reply:
Thank you so much Abby! You and Andy were so wonderful to work with! Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness! -

Prepared, reliable, and attention to detail
We were completely satisfied with the wedding planning and service provided by Nicole Arend. We approached her within only two months of our date and she was completely thorough, dependable, and responsible. She helped us think of options we had not considered, and guided us through the process step by step. She made sure we had all the right vendors at the right time for the right price. She listened to our wants and needs and made sure we had exactly what we wanted and still kept our budget where we needed it to stay. I was glad to have someone who could use her experience to advise us not just on what we could do, but also what might not work best considering our venue (back yard). On the wedding day, which could have been very stressful, both of us (bride and groom) were confident and ready to go. From making sure vendors knew where to go and what to do, to helping the wedding party know when to walk down the aisle, to making sure things got handled efficiently after the reception was over, Nicole handled all the details without us having to worry about it. She was calm, cool, and reliable. We were able to enjoy our special day.Nicole Arend Weddings & Events's reply:
Thank you Karen for the beautiful words! I will be forever grateful to a small part of your wedding day team! Thank you for having me! -

Amanda Sent on 05/04/2018Nicole was absolutely amazing every step of the way! She has keen attention to detail and perfectly executed every element of our wedding. I spent so long planning every little thing and personalized every single touch, and Nicole made it very easy to trust her to make sure everything was perfect while I enjoyed my wedding day! Nicole was by far one of the best investments we made towards our wedding. On top of her talent as a wedding planner/coordinator, Nicole is such a pleasure to work with and has amazing communication skills. I truly enjoyed getting to know her and working with her on one of the best days of my life. I can't thank you enough Nicole!!

User2459335 Sent on 12/08/2015If you are getting married in Arizona hire this women to plan your wedding. Nicole Arend was the most valuable money we spent on our entire wedding. She pays incredibly close attention to detail but also grasps your overall wedding vision immediately and makes sure it comes to life the day of your wedding. She is is the epitome of what a great planner should be, classy, professional, creative and respectful of budget and vision. I could not reccomend Nicole enough to anyone planning a wedding.
We went through 3 catering managers, 2 GMs and a remodel at our venue but knowing I had Nicole to go over our contracts, coordinate with our vendors and take care of details I was never worried that my day would be short of amazing. We hired her for month of coordination but she was always available if i had a questions or concern. Our catering manager was no where to be found for our rehearsal and Nicole took over and made sure everything was good to go. No detail was too small for her to think about, and there were so many things she brought up i would have never though of. On the actual day of the wedding she literally anticipated any need i might have before i even thought of it. Whenever i turned around her or her wonderful assistant were there to help me with whatever I needed. Throughout the whole weekend she also helped keep my mom calm and assured her everything was going smoothly. Our wedding would have been nice given the pretty venue and friends and family surrounding us, but Nicole really elevated the event to something incredibly special, and most importantly allowed me to enjoy the day with absolutely zero stress. Myself, my husband, and my parents are forever grateful for all of her help on such an important and meaningful day! -
User1981587 Sent on 12/22/2014Nicole Arend was an excellent wedding planner. She was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and had a calm demeanor that was very comforting during our short wedding planning process. She always approached every idea we had with an attitude of "I can make this happen." She followed up quickly with emails and questions and was very easily accessible. I would highly recommend her to others looking for a wedding planner. We had several events and she helped them all run very smoothly taking the stress off of me and allowing me to enjoy my day. -
User1930104 Sent on 11/19/2014Nicole was an absolute pleasure to work with! From vendor selection to the most minor of details she was there to help us plan our dream wedding. And when we thought it couldn't get any better she was the for us every step of the way on the day of, answering questions of vendors and guests and truly allowing us to enjoy our day instead of think about logistics. Nicole was not only worth the money but has become a friend and we had so much fun with her during the year of planning. Using Nicole will be the BEST decision you can make! -
User1408253 Sent on 10/29/2013There is absolutely no way I could have had my wedding without Nicki Robbins. She was an absolutely fabulous coordinator. She was on time and extremely professional- and she just got it done. Everyone kept saying "Wow your wedding coordinator is awesome". Even when everything seemed hectic and crazy she was calm and collected. She came up with ideas I never thought of to help the day run smoothly and went above and beyond. I would recommend her to any and all of my friends who are getting married.
