Dasha Sent on 07/20/2023Nicole is the MVP of wedding planning & design
My husband and I hired Nicole and her team for the full design and planning of our wedding and could not have wished for a better experience. Nicole + Abby went above and beyond in creating the wedding experience of our dreams and took care of every detail no matter how big or small, as well as vendor booking and communication, budget, contracts, timelines and deadlines, etc., while making sure that the planning process and the big day was absolutely seamless and stress-free for us. Our wedding was a dream come true and all of our guests were in awe of the incredible experience they had. It was absolutely perfect and visually stunning. The design was a work of art in itself. I would strongly recommend Nicole's services to anyone - she is a master at what she does and is a joy to work with. -

Style and Practicality that should grace every wedding
Nicole and Abby executed a wedding designed specifically for us. We wanted an experiential wedding, with lots of interaction, no required seating or activities, and high energy. NMWE delivered that and more.
1 - NMWE was budget-neutral for us. They found options for repurposing design elements and they knew exactly what options would enhance our experience the most and helped us avoid expenses that would not have added as much value.
2- NMWE can design anything. Their flair for style and deep event experience makes it all make sense. Nicole knew who to call for everything. For example she single-handedly designed a floral booth for guests to make their own decorations and she executed it with a local farm. Our guests rave about the floral booth every day.
3 - NMWE is fun! They carried their bubbly and soothing energy throughout the venue, even jumping right into the photo camper (which we would never have known about if not for them.)
4 - Nicole is well-regarded professional in this area, which is also the area we live in. We wanted as much local sourcing as possible, and since Nicole is so active in local professional groups and just generally a great person, she was able to identify specialized vendors who could carry out our visions and they in turn all wanted to work with her. She worked with one vendor in particular who did not have wedding experience and taught them the ropes, giving them such a great experience that they're going on to do more weddings now. NMWE's reputation and professionalism opened up a lot more options for us. -

Amazing planning team!
We hired Nicole for full design + planning, and we'd choose her all over again! We were planning our Portsmouth, NH wedding from DC, so we wanted to hire someone with a lot of local knowledge and experience. After talking to Nicole on the phone, I canceled calls with other potential planners and hired her. She is so friendly, down-to-earth, and efficient.
Nicole helped keep us on track with planning and was really great about doing Google Meet meetings/phone calls instead of in-person meetings when necessary. When we were flying up to New Hampshire with extremely limited time, she helped us use that time wisely to check out venues, do our catering tasting, and visit rental showrooms.
Nicole's 10+ years of experience in the Seacoast area was really helpful throughout the planning process. She helped us choose vendors for the vibe we wanted, and we were really happy with every single one. In addition, during our wedding weekend, it was super fun to have vendors that knew each other -- we felt really taken care of.
Our wedding went off without a hitch. Everything was so smooth and organized. If we could do it all over again, we'd hire Nicole (and team!) in a heartbeat.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we had with Abby and Nicole,every detail was meticulously taken care of as well as sweet people. Weddings can be very stressful and they completely took the stress away and made our day so beautiful. -

Ariel Sent on 10/08/2020Absolutely incredible
Nicole and her team went above and beyond for our COVID wedding. We went from having a 120 person wedding at a golf course to a 30 person wedding on the lake at our Grandparents house. We could barely manage to plan one wedding never-mind navigating cancellations, overnight stays for guests and the regulations each state had. Nicole and her team went from day of coordinators to coordinating and helping us organize an entirely new plan. We tried to cut corners and trim back our vision since there were less people but Nicole reassured us that this day is still everything we hoped and dreamed of and we are only doing it once. So we listened to her!! We had the hanging floral chandelier, the flowers around the arbor and all the small details her and her team put together without us even knowing. Who knew you needed a table to cut a cake? Thankfully Nicole saved the day and found one tucked away. There is so much more I could share but through all of this Nicole and Abby made our big day the most spectacular day it could have been considering the circumstances. We could not have done it without you! Thank you for all that you did and for risking your lives to make sure our special day came together like a dream come true. -

My husband and I got married on September 5th this year. It was certainly a crazy pandemic wedding! We hired Nicole Mower as our wedding coordinator as you can all probably relate that wedding planning can be super stressful. We really wanted to alleviate some of the stress and responsibilities from the bride/groom to someone else on the actual wedding day. Of course, due to the pandemic things did not go as planned and our plans changed several times ( not just our wedding date but our entire venue had to be changed and re-plan our entire wedding in 2 months). Well, Nicole was an absolute SUPERSTAR! She is beyond organized, kind and will remind you of things that you may not even think about! She also had so many suggestions and wedding resources! She is full of "wedding" knowledge and also provided a lot of compassion through the process since it was not necessarily the "normal wedding planning" so to speak. We highly recommend her services. She also has an assistant, Abigail. Another thing that we found super helpful is that Nicole is very responsive in email/phone. I am such a type A person and get eager to get an answer when things come up. Well, she WILL get back to you within the same day most of the time or the very next day. On the day of the wedding, she really delivered. She was in charge of setting up the tables, decorations, all of these little details that you think are not a big deal but are time consuming on the actual day of the wedding. Everything was done by her on the wedding day and she did an amazing job. I actually do not think our wedding could have gone as smooth and organized if it was not for her help. Moral of the story- HIRE NICOLE AS YOUR WEDDING COORDINATOR ! SHE WILL PROVIDE A PROFESSIONAL AND STRESS FREE SUPPORT ON THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! -

The Best Month of Coordinator - thanks Nicole & Team!
We used Nicole and her team for month of coordination for our wedding in October 2019. I work in events, so I felt confident doing the majority of planning myself but definitely wanted a wedding expert to come in for the big day. The month of package was a perfect fit for our needs and allowed me to get creative but always have an expert's opinion on hand when I needed it. Note: do not try to plan a big wedding on your own if you don't have event experience - it's hard! Nicole takes her work very seriously and had a very thorough plan and documents that kept us super organized. She came to our rehearsal on Friday and led everyone through their roles for the next day. Saturday I barely saw her and her team as they were very busy making sure we were able to just enjoy ourselves! We will be forever grateful for their hard work and the magical day they allowed us to have. Thank you thank you! Heather & Nate -

Nicole is THE BEST. I worked very closely with Nicole as the MOH of one of her brides, and she was incredible. Nicole is attentive to every detail, had an incredible vision, and executed a beautiful event. We couldn't have put on the wedding without Nicole, especially because we planned it in three months! Nicole gave us the best recommendations for vendors and was with us every step of the way. She made the day so very special and effortless for us. At the end of the night, I made sure to search the venue to find Nicole and give her a great big hug. I even made the shuttle that was going to the afterparty wait so that I could find her. I couldn't imagine not thanking Nicole for everything she did!!! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. -

August 24th. 2019 will forever be one of the best days of my life and I don’t think I would be able to say that if it weren’t for Nicole. We started working with Nicole over a year before our wedding and she was outstanding from the very beginning. Even from our first meeting, it was clear that she was a highly experienced planner. Not only is she extremely organized but she has established a specific method that makes the entire planning process run so smoothly.
We had a VERY large wedding with two back to back events at different locations. Something that I assume would seem daunting to most wedding planners.. But Nicole was never worried. She was confident that she and her team would keep everything organized. And they did- everything went off without a hitch. I had no idea the amount of detail that went into planning a wedding, and I can’t even begin to count the hours that Nicole saved us throughout the whole process. Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail and communication skills are incomparable. She has relationships with vendors all throughout New England and with her recommendations and guidance, all of the choices we had to make were that much easier.
The fact that my parents, my(now) husband and I were all calm in the weeks leading up to our wedding says it all. Thanks to Nicole and her team, we were all able to fully enjoy every single minute of our wedding day. There was never a worry or a doubt. Nicole nailed it and we could not more grateful for her! Thank you Nicole, for everything. Xoxox -

Taylor Sent on 12/18/2018Best wedding planner ever!
In an ideal world, I believe everyone would be lucky enough to work with Nicole for their wedding! From the first time we spoke on the phone, I felt completely comfortable, and crazy excited for the planning process. From that point until our wedding weekend, Nicole led us effortlessly through the planning process and made every single moment incredibly fun! She helped us with our whole weekend, including a rehearsal dinner on Friday, the wedding on Saturday, and a brunch on Sunday.
At the beginning of the planning process Nicole set us up with a to do list and each month reached out to let us know which items to tackle. She laid everything out so far ahead that it was so simple to complete the tasks each month, and we never felt overwhelmed with to do list items. This allowed us to take our time and be really thoughtful with each choice we made, and enjoy every bit of the process. She helped us every step of the way and made fantastic recommendations.
Nicole is also a spectacular communicator! Any time we came to her with an idea, big or small, she would take and moment and really think on it, and how it would fit into the big picture. She would then come back with a very thoughtful and intentional response. It made us feel so taken care of, because we knew Nicole understood us and was being just as thoughtful with each choice as we were.
Also, let’s take a second to talk about vendors. Nicole KNOWS EVERYONE, and they all adore her! She has such fantastic taste, and really takes time to get to know all the vendors in the area on a personal level. This made our experience so special, because we knew that the vendors we had were the best of the best, perfect for us, and were there to make our wedding as great as it could be.
When planning was complete and the weekend finally arrived, we didn’t have a care in the world because we knew Nicole and her team had us totally covered. I cannot express my gratitude for her hard work and organization, because my husband and I were able to be completely present for each minute of our wedding, which was everything we hoped for.
Not only is Nicole and incredible planner, she is an incredible person. She is thoughtful and generous, has exceptional taste, and works tirelessly for her couples to turn their dream weddings into a reality. I cannot recommend Nicole and her team highly enough, if you have the opportunity you should absolutely book her! -

Kelli Sent on 09/23/2018From day 1, Nicole was an absolute rockstar. She went above and beyond in everything that she did, and was completely on the ball for a control-freak of a bride like me. Nicole is not only a phenomenal planner & coordinator with fantastic taste, but also a savvy business woman and total boss lady. The only kind of gal I wanted running my show!
The NMWE team was extraordinary and the overall experience was divine. I am so incredibly grateful to Nicole, Ellen, and the rest of the gals on the day of for helping us throw the biggest, and best party we've ever been to!
I was left with not only the completely seamless, wedding of my dreams, but a dear friend. Love you, Nicole!! -

Nicole Sent on 12/13/2017As our wedding date started to creep up on us, I started to realize that I needed a day of coordinator to help with the ceremony. I was in bit of freak out mode because I knew I was cutting it short. Our venue (separate from the ceremony location) gave us a referral to Nicole Mower. I sent her an email, and within an hour she was emailing me back to set up some time to talk over the phone. When I first spoke to Nicole I knew right away I needed her! She was very professional, but also asking about what I was doing over the weekend. We made arrangements to hire her, and then we set up some time to meet in person about a month before the wedding. We met her in Portsmouth, along with her assistant Helen, right across the street from where our ceremony would take place. She greeted us with a big hug like we had known her for years. She was taking notes, asking questions and putting together a plan as we talked for about 2 hours. I was so relieved after out meeting, I knew it would go off without a hitch. The wedding rehearsal soon approached and we had a small hiccup with the sound system in the church, but she was right there trying to figure it out. She was calming me down which was nice. We literally went over everything once and that was it, it was perfect and short and sweet. The wedding day came and I received the nicest and sweetest text from her ( I know this is part of her job, but it really meant a lot). You think back on the wedding process and there are a few people who will be etched in my mind forever and she is one of them. The wedding ceremony went great. She greeted us in the limo and talked to us about a few things, all while smiling. We had a few people show up a little late (right before I walked down the aisle) but she showed them where to go and kept them going. I actually ended up walking down a minute early from my plan (which was a win !). It was short and sweet, Helen did a great job with the music as well and returned my phone to me right away -
Andrew Sent on 12/06/2017Everyone wants the perfect wedding, but you can't ever really have the perfection right? Wrong.
It's impossible to explain how great Nicole was in making our wedding everything we imagined it would be. With Nicole's help our wedding was perfect.
Nicole's planning system keeps you involved but not overwhelmed, her communication with all parties is friendly and professional, and Nicole's vision is outstanding - we threw a mess of ideas at her and she created the ideal wedding and reception for us.
Nicole has great relationships with vendors for every aspect of your wedding. They all rave about working with her and told us how lucky we were to have gotten Nicole to be our wedding coordinator.
If you're considering a wedding coordinator, definitely hire one. And, make sure you hire Nicole Mower. I cannot recommend Nicole highly enough. We are glad we did and are so grateful for everything Nicole did to help us make our wedding what is was. -

Christine Sent on 06/30/2016I don't even know where to begin singing Nicole's praises. We chose a "partial planning package" with Nicole and immediately were grateful for all of the awesome resources she gave us right off the bat--from vendor recommendations to access to an easily-accessible-by-all-parties online system to keep us all on the same page to an early planning questionnaire to help us determine our vision. My husband and I said frequently throughout our entire planning process that we were not paying Nicole enough, her services were by far the best money we spent on wedding planning. She was our confidante, ally, cheerleader, and friend throughout the entire process. We were dealing with several food allergies (myself, the bride; 2 bridesmaids; and several family members), and she stepped right in to go above and beyond to speak with caterers directly after we had a bad experience at a tasting. She even looked into seeing if she herself could get an epipen to have on hand in case of emergencies! In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she could tell we were stressed by our families and frequently checked in just to give us a pep talk, even when we didn't need to discuss anything in particular. On the day of, we had a vendor no-show (a friend-of-a-friend, not one of Nicole's recommended vendors). In what could have been a very stressful few minutes before walking down the aisle, she came to us to tell us what was up and already offered a solution; because of her quick thinking and calm demeanor, our day went off without any of our guests even noticing anything had gone wrong and my husband and I were eternally grateful that we didn't have to deal with it. The biggest thing I can say Nicole gave us was peace of mind, which is absolutely invaluable on such a loaded-expecations day. It was the greatest gift to have someone leading the charge that day that we trusted completely. We got to just enjoy our day and really experience and be present in it because of Nicole.
