    The Sparkplug that is Sparkling Soirées

    Nicolette and Sparkling Soirées is worth the monetary investment. She clearly had an eye for all things “wedding” and was truly a professional among professionals. She doesn’t miss a beat and assured us every step of the way. She was willing to fight for us with the other vendors and venue and that was more important than we could have ever thought. 

    She was very communicative and always willing to hear out what we were thinking. Everything went smoothly the weekend of our wedding.

    Look no further than Nicolette Sparkling Soirees

    We would like to thank Nicolette Tedesco for everything she did to make our daughter’s wedding perfect. From creating a plan and a budget to being our negotiation partner and managing all of the many details to make beautiful lifetime memories and fulfilling our dreams. She had the energy to work with us late into the night to get everything into our car after the event. Nicolette was amazing orchestrating the wedding and the reception… the ultimate professional. She possesses the rare confident combination of being assertive and sweet and that is not an easy task.

    Lastly, kudos to her lovely associate Ally. It’s hard to match Nicolette's enthusiasm and energy level, but she did a great job.  If you are looking for the best ever wedding planner who will pay attention to the 1,000 little details for your wedding ceremony and reception, look no further. Nicolette at Sparkling Soirees is your gal!!

    The Best - Hire Her!

    Nicolette was amazing through every step of the journey and such a joy to work with. She took the stress away (as much as possible!) and always found solutions to challenges that popped up. She advocated for us and fought, when needed, to make sure we could just relax and enjoy the day. Highly recommend.

    Indescribably helpful!

    Sparkling soirees was exactly what we needed for our wedding. Our day of coordinator Carly made the planning process a breeze. Each meeting with her we were reassured on our doubts and met with advice, tips, and guidance. She left us feeling confident our wedding would go off without an issue. The day of our wedding Carly and her team were with us every step of the way. She seamlessly received our many vendors and kept us on time without the day feeling overly organized or unnatural. She made sure we enjoyed every minute of our day. She and her team beautifully decorated our event space with the materials we provided and brought our vision to life. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without Carly and her team. Thank you :)

    The best!!

    I’m so glad I went with Sparkling Soirées as my day of coordinator. We’re especially thankful for Carly who helped with the logistics leading up to the big day as well as handled everything on the day of so seamlessly and made sure we had everything we needed. Carly made us feel super supported and at ease the entire day because we just knew she had everything under control. Carly and her team are true professionals and are amazing at what they do. One moment that will always stick with me is Carly coming up to me during the Reception to ask if I packed a second Reception dress (which I had forgotten about lol) because she noticed a second dress in my bridal suite. She asked me if I wanted to change into it and try to get some photos in it before my photographer and videographer left. I’m so glad she checked in with me about it because I ended up loving wearing my second dress (which was shorter and more comfortable to dance in) and she even found my white sunglasses that I had intended on wearing during the Reception lol! Needless to say, Carly and her team were always one step ahead of things and made the wedding day go 1000x smoother! I highly recommend Sparkling Soirées and Carly in particular! They are truly the best!

    The BEST decision we made in planning our wedding- Having Sparkling Soirees help plan the day!

    We had the BEST experience with Sparkling Soirees. Nicolette and her team went so above and beyond in helping our special day run so smoothly! From the first meeting we had, we knew we were in good hands. They worked with our short timeline and for an event that can sometimes feel stressful, made planning our special day so smooth!
    The day of our wedding, Nicolette handled literally every detail. I never had to think about vendors or if things were running smoothly, she and her team had it handled! I was able to be so present and enjoy every moment. Everyone was coming up to us all night and commenting on how much fun they were having, giving us props on planning such a beautiful event on such a short timeline, and how smoothly it was going. ALL props to Sparkling Soirees!
    The best decision we made for our wedding, was hands down, having Sparkling Soirees help coordinate the day. We are so grateful!

    Unmatched level of care and love for all your wedding needs

    Nicolette and her incredible team put love and care into every detail of our wedding. Every step of the way we felt taken care of and that the details were customized so we could have the wedding of our dreams. The day of, when Nicolette realized the alterations on my dress were accidentally left finished by the tailor, she got out a thread and needle herself and sewed the entire under skirt of the dress. This was one of many examples that shows the lengths that the team goes to make sure that the day is seamless and I didn’t even know that there was an issue with the dress until it was magically resolved by Nicolette and her incredible team. We could not have more positive things to say, and recommend Sparkling Soirées to all of our family and friends!

    October 2024 Wedding Mother of the Bride review

    The Sparkling Soirées team was incredible to work with from beginning to end. My daughter and now-son-in-law had a specific vision for their destination wedding and Sparkling Soirées not only brought their dream to life, but did it with such positive energy that everyone who attended the wedding could feel it. Carly and Ally managed the entire wedding weekend - full of several events - and kept everything running so smoothly that the bride and groom (and our whole family) could just relax and enjoy every moment. All of the events were designed beautifully, and Carly and Ally made sure every detail was perfect on the day of. We’re so grateful to Sparkling Soirées for taking care of everything - including things we didn’t even knew we’d need!

    Untraditional, timeless & moody

    The Sparkling Soirées team was lovely to work with from beginning to end! My husband and I had a few non-traditional ideas that we wanted to pair with a timeless vision. Nicolette not only found us the perfect venue and vendors to bring our dream wedding to life, but she and her team truly delivered a magical setting with so many custom details. The team coordinated three days of events for our destination wedding and we can honestly say we had the best weekend of our lives. We’re so grateful for the Nicolette and the Sparkling Soirées team!

    Carly was amazing!!

    Carly Humphrey was an absolute dream wedding coordinator. She was there for us for every single question we had big or small. She was so patient and made the weeks leading up to our wedding and the day of so smooth. I could not have done it without her. She was so organized and brought so much calmness to the day. I could not recommend her enough.

    Phenomenal

    Prior to meeting Nicolette we were very early in our wedding planning so we weren’t going to commit to a wedding planner yet. However, the moment Nick and I met her we knew she would be the perfect wedding planner for us. She was somehow even more excited for our wedding than we were, which made us look so much more forward to the whole planning process. We knew we could trust her with our ideas, vision, and budget. Every step of the way she and her team were highly detailed and organized, something I know I would not have been good at on our own. We looked forward to each and every one of our meetings with her because they were fun and gave us a good idea of how to make our vision come to life. Fast forward to our wedding day, everything went so perfectly and it was literally the best wedding we could have ever imagined. Every one of the creative touches Nicolette helped us add turned out so beautiful and made our wedding unique. We recommend Sparkling Soirees to all of our friends getting married because they want your wedding to be perfect just as much as their clients do.

    Sparkling Soirees's reply:

    Thank you SO much Ryan & Nick! I am so honored I was able to bring your vision to life. Loved planning with you both!

    Best decision we made for our wedding!

    As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many planners over the years, and I know firsthand how crucial a great planner is to the success of a wedding. When I first worked with Nicolette, I was immediately impressed by how organized, supportive, and professional she was. In fact, I was so blown away by her attention to detail and her ability to manage the entire vendor team that I knew I had to hire her for my own wedding someday. And I’m so glad I did!

    Before we even officially booked our venue (Morgan Estate), Nicolette was already by my side. She reviewed the venue’s contract before we signed and caught several errors that could have caused big issues down the line. She helped us negotiate terms and made sure we were set up for success from the very beginning. From the moment she came on board, I knew we were in good hands.

    On top of that, Nicolette provided invaluable support throughout the entire planning process. She worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was covered—from managing communication with vendors to making sure we got exactly what we wanted. She helped with the design and layout of both our ceremony and reception spaces, from the silverware to the linens, and every little detail in between. I was constantly amazed by how thorough and thoughtful she was in every decision.

    When our wedding day finally arrived, Nicolette and her team were absolutely flawless. There were a few "fires" she had to put out behind the scenes, but I had no idea until weeks later—she kept everything running smoothly and never let anything disrupt our day. Her team was incredibly professional, but also so much fun! Our guests kept commenting on how on top of things they were and how seamless everything felt.

    Nicolette and her team also made sure we were well taken care of throughout the entire event. We never had an empty drink in hand, and when it was time to hit the dance floor, they made sure we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves, without a single worry. It felt like we had a personal concierge for the whole day!

    Nicolette is truly a planner who goes above and beyond for her clients. She's not just there to execute a plan, she’s there to make sure you have the best experience possible. She is bubbly, organized, and has an incredible ability to support both the couple and the entire vendor team. I honestly can’t imagine having a more perfect day without her.

    Best decision we made for our wedding! If you’re looking for a planner who will treat you like family, bring your wedding vision to life, and handle everything with grace and professionalism, I can’t recommend Nicolette and her team highly enough. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, and we owe so much of that to her.

    Thank you, Nicolette, for everything—you and your team are simply the best!

    Sparkling Soirees's reply:

    Chelsea, thank you so much for your incredibly sweet words! I am so honored you trusted me to be a part of your big day and loved every moment planning with you and Broc! So bittersweet that the wedding is over, but so happy for you two in this next chapter!

    Don't look elsewhere -- Sparkling Soirees is the best!

    We first had the good fortune of meeting Nicolette & The Sparkling Soirées Team as a part of our friends’ bridal party. It was the best wedding we had ever attended, and it was incredible to see Nicolette’s meticulous execution through the night. It was even more evident that an incredible amount of thought and planning took place in the months leading up to the wedding. We knew that when it was our turn to get married, we wanted Nicolette and the Team as our partners. Fast forward two years, and we’re now married. In total, Nicolette spent 15+ months with us helping plan our wedding, and in that time she’s been a valuable advisor and expert in her field, a partner, a friend, a confidant, and at times, an emotional sounding board. Friends and family would constantly ask us how we were coping with the stress of wedding planning, but frankly, it was pretty easy thanks to Nicolette. Importantly, Nicolette has always been a great listener and is careful to use her experience to help us augment and fulfill our vision rather than impose something different or unwanted. She and the team have an unrelenting energy, passion, and positivity for what they do, and they are creative, kind, thoughtful, organized, versatile (e.g., budget, location, culture, etc.), and will do whatever it takes to execute on the vision. Nicolette and her Team’s impact extended beyond bride and groom — we had so many guests share the following the day after: (i) it was a beautiful wedding and we had a great time, (ii) your wedding planner is awesome, and (iii) can we get her number? Selfishly, we want to keep her all to ourselves, but feel it’s only right that others get to experience the Nicolette & Sparkling Soirées show, which is why we are writing this review. Thank you, Nicolette and Team!

    Sparkling Soirees's reply:

    Calvin & Kat, thank you for trusting us to be a part of your big day! Planning with you both was such a joy & I so miss our Zoom calls! Hope you are enjoying the holiday season as newlyweds!

    5 Stars!! I would highly recommend Carly % Sparking Soirees!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carly and her team at Sparkling Soirees! From the moment we hired Carly as our wedding coordinator, she became a true partner in bringing our vision to life. Her attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and calming presence made all the difference in our planning process and on the big day.
    Months before the wedding, Carly took the lead in communicating with all of our vendors, ensuring they were on the same page and that every detail was covered. She was in constant contact with our florist, photographer, venue, band, and others to confirm arrangements and iron out any potential issues before they arose. Carly even helped us select vendors that fit our style and budget, which was an enormous help.
    One of the best things Carly did was work with us to create a detailed wedding day timeline. She took into account every little thing—from hair and makeup appointments to the timing of the ceremony and reception—to ensure the day flowed seamlessly. Carly walked us through the entire schedule and made sure we were comfortable with it. She was incredibly thorough in checking with each vendor to make sure they knew their role and the timing. Carly also brought up details that I would have never even thought of to make sure that they were taken care of day of!
    On the day of the wedding, Carly and her team were absolutely incredible, taking care of everything behind the scenes, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Carly made sure all vendors arrived on time, handled any last-minute changes, and kept everything running smoothly. She checked in with us frequently to ensure we were happy and had everything we needed, all while ensuring that the timeline was followed to perfection.
    What stood out to us most was how calm and collected Carly remained throughout the day. Her leadership and attention to detail meant that everything ran without a hitch. The ceremony, reception, and every transition between the two were flawless. Thanks to Carly, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day without any stress.
    If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who goes above and beyond—who will not only create a beautiful and detailed plan, but will also execute it flawlessly—look no further than Carly and Sparkling Soirees. We will forever be grateful for her hard work, dedication, and the way she made our wedding day a dream come true. We cannot recommend her enough!

    Sparkling Soirees's reply:

    Hi Heather!

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It was such an honor to be a part of your special day and help bring your vision to life. I’m so thrilled to hear that you were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment of your wedding day—it’s exactly what we strive for!

    Warmly,
    Carly & The Sparkling Soirées Team

    Amazing experience

    We worked directly with Carly, and had an amazing experience. She was super responsive leading up to the wedding and made us feel so comfortable from our first meeting.
    The day of the wedding Carly did everything perfectly and we could not imagine our day without her.

    Say Yes to Sparkling Soirees!

    Highly recommend working with Nicolette and Sparkling Soirees for full-service planning. Because of Nicolette, I enjoyed the whole wedding planning process and had the wedding of my dreams. I am Japanese American and wanted to incorporate some elements of my culture into the wedding. Nicolette did a beautiful job of bringing this concept to life. Also, she is very skilled in what she does: she is well connected and so her vendor recommendations were spot on, she walked me through every vendor contract so I had full transparency of the agreements, and she handled any challenge that came up with ease. If you want to look back on your wedding and have happy memories of the entire process, I recommend you work Sparkling Soirees. They truly love what they do and they will help you create the perfect day for you.

    Nicolette is the Best

    Sparkling soirées is the best! Nicolette was always on top of everything. I hired her as a partial planner since I had already did some research on vendors I wanted, but she blew me away with making sure all the other details came together. She tried to keep me on budget, but I added more in the end. She is the kindest person and made my day so special. If something did go wrong that day, I had no clue. My wedding was beautiful and it was so nice not to have to stress about the timeline or getting the decor in the right place. She is amazing and I can rave about her for days!

    Nicolette & her team made a complicated event flawless

    Nicolette is a delight to work with! I was a pretty hands-on bride with a very specific vision. I did partial planning with her and got extra support on the day of since we were doing a park wedding with separate reception at a restaurant. Our logistics for doing this with a 180 person wedding weren't easy, but Nicolette guided us through the process and executed the day flawlessly. She managed multiple vendors and a tight timeline so that we got to enjoy a beautiful day without a hitch, even when small inevitable hiccups did come up. There are a lot of things in the wedding industry you have to accept are going to feel over-priced, but Nicolette was by far the best value vendor. I highly recommend her and her supportive and professional team!

    Absolutely Amazing!!!

    Hiring Sparkling Soirees was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. Carly was so amazing from beginning and all the way to the end. She handled all vendor communication towards the end so it left a nice breather for me. She ran rehearsal so smoothly and everyone knew how and where to be. She is literally the nicest person and you can tell she not only loves her job but she is amazing at it. Both Carly and Alli ran everything so perfectly on the wedding day, from setup/tear down, to helping bustle my dress and even putting my hair pin back in my hair. I absolutely loved that they also signed our guest book! You will not regret hiring these wonderful ladies. Thank you both so much for helping my day be even more special :')

    The Best Wedding Decision I Made- Other than Marrying my Husband :)

    No joke- the best wedding decision I made was hiring Nicolette & Team from Sparkling Soirees for my wedding day! I had some *interesting* circumstances with my wedding- specifically some lovely family awkwardness and also health issues. Nicolette handled it beautifully. If something went wrong I had no idea, and I still have no idea. The day was perfect and I couldn't have asked for anything better! I didn't have to worry about setting up the wedding with my decor, or the flow of the day, or even contacting my vendors with the schedule! The main thing here is that I didn't have to worry about a THING! It was the best gift and truly invaluable. My family and friends loved Nicolette and still talk about how great our wedding was even months later. She really listened to what I wanted and created the most perfect timeline for our day. She also had the best tips and tricks specifically for our venue and it was so helpful. If you think you don't need a coordinator or planner for your wedding, think again and hire Sparkling Soirees!

    This made my day Meghan! Thank you so much for your kind words, I so adored working with you & am so glad I could help bring your fabulous wedding vision to life!

    Nicolette is Amazing! We would hire her again in a heartbeat

    Nicolette and her team are amazing!!

    First of all, Nicolette is just the sweetest! She is so outgoing and easy to communicate with. We loved working with Nicolette and hired her for partial planning (we had already booked our venue and catering, and I already found a photographer/videographer). I was very busy working full time and getting my Master’s degree, and could not do all the research and planning on my own. Nicolette is very experienced and knows so many local vendors - she was SO helpful in helping us book the rest of our vendors while helping us stick to our budget as close as possible. She would send us a handful of different vendors for us to choose from which helped us feel like we were still part of the planning process. She listened to our visions and ideas, and she was also very honest about the process and all the pricing - she gave us great advice and answered all our questions. We just loved working with her so much!!!

    Our wedding was magical and the day could not have gone more smoothly - all our vendors loved working with Nicolette and everything went as planned. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day and was able to enjoy myself. It was the best day of our lives, and we would totally hire Nicolette again in a heartbeat!

    Sparkling Soirees's reply:

    Thank you so much for your sweet words! It was an absolute joy working with you & Aaron! Sending hugs to you both!

    The Only Wedding Planner I would Hire!!

    Nicolette is amazing!! If I could hire her to do other events I would!! She made planning my wedding a breeze and it was absolutely perfect!! She was always available to answer any of my questions via text and email. She was also great at suggesting any kind of vendor if you needed any for your big day!! She also goes through the whole process with you so you do not feel overwhelmed at all and enjoy planning your wedding. I definitely keep talking about Nicolette and her great work!! You need to hire her for your big day with no hesitation, She does not. disappoint!!

    We had the most incredible wedding thanks to Nicolette and the Sparkling Soirees team. Our wedding went flawlessly and still to this day people have told me it was the best wedding they have ever been to and I strongly believe it’s because we chose them to guide us through each step.

    Everyone needs a Nicolette in their wedding life. She is beyond amazing. Her assistant was so professional and nice. They truly made our day.

They will always hold a special place in our hearts. So now run don’t walk and book Nicolette for your wedding you won’t regret it.

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    I wish my husband and I could give Nicolette and Sparkling Soirees 10 stars for the service and attentiveness they gave. We met Nicolette through our venue (Fete the Venue in Costa Mesa). It was important to us that our Wedding Coordinator knew our venue space and would have our back throughout the planning process.

    Nicolette was always there to support us, especially through the tough experience of postponing our wedding due to COVID. She was understanding and empathetic as we sorted through these unprecedented circumstances. She was always organized and prepared to make sure we were prioritizing the most important things in the months leading up to our big day.

    On our wedding day, she and Brady kept us on track, while making sure my husband and I had special moments together to soak it all in. Nicolette and Brady wouldn't let any small hiccup interfere with us having a good time! We can't say enough positive things about Nicolette and her team and would recommend them to any couple!

    Sparkling Soirees's reply:

    Thank you Tammy for your kind words, they truly mean the world to me! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Andrew! I am so happy you were finally able to celebrate with your family and friends, it was such a magical day. xo, Nicolette

    An angel sent from above

    Nicolette was by far the most important piece of my wedding puzzle! She literally saved the day multiple times when my others vendors slipped up. I highly recommend her. She made the whole night stress free and handled all the twist and turns with grace. If you have the luxury to book Nicolette for your special day she will impress and amaze. 10/10

    Team Sparking Soirees is the one!

    Words seriously cannot express just how beyond amazing Nicolette and her team are! Our wedding was such a breeze and we were able to enjoy every single moment from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, she was very responsive to all our emails and texts at any time of the day. She made sure all the vendors were set and ready for game day. She was there supporting and caring for us from the beginning to the end. We are missing her so much!

    Reach out to Nicolette and her team, you definitely won’t be disappointed. All the concerns and questions that you may have running through your mind, they will definitely be able to help answer and solve them.

    The BEST wedding planner in the WORLD

    Nicolette was by far the best "purchase" I made for my wedding. She was incredibly responsive, detail oriented, and helpful throughout our entire process. We planned our wedding from across the country and there's no way we could have done it without her. Hire Sparkling Soirees if you want to have a successful event. Nicolette is the best.

    Amazing from Step 1 to Step 1000+

    Planning a wedding is inevitably stressful. Hiring Sparkling Soirees was one of the best decisions we made early on. Nicolette was extremely helpful in choosing other vendors, setting our timeline, anticipating problems before they arose and communicating with our vendors in the weeks leading up to the day of.

    On the day of our wedding Nicolette's team were great! They had everything handled. They seemed to be there right when we needed them and allowed us to focus on enjoying the moment.

    We can't recommend them enough!

    Nicolette made us feel so special and took care of all the details for our wedding! She truly made our wedding even better than we imagined!

    We used Nicolette as a day of coordinator for our wedding. We payed an extra fee to meet with her beforehand and plan out the entire day. She was so accommodating and has such a bubbly personality! We felt so much better and at ease after sitting down with her and talking. She really does make you feel like you don’t have to lift a finger! She made our wedding day so incredible and relaxing! I highly recommend Nicolette if you are looking for a wedding coordinator who not only does an amazing job but is also fun to have at your wedding!

    Weight Off Your Shoulders

    There's a lot that goes into preparing for your wedding, including things you don't realize until it is too late to get it done. Thankfully, Nicolette of Sparkling Soirees is always miles ahead to help you plan your big day! I was the first of my friends to get married, so I didn't have any clue what I needed to do leading up to the wedding. Nicolette was able to guide my wife and I with all steps of the process: from engagement photos and venue selections, all the way through the morning after the wedding itself and beyond. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond to make sure the day was special. Aside from being a true professional, Nicolette has a wonderful personality. She and my wife hit it off when she coordinated my brother-in-law's wedding. That night, we realized we had to have her as part of our big day. That was a good idea.

    Everyone wants their wedding to be perfect. Thanks to Nicolette, it was. We are so thankful she was there for us during such an important part in our lives! Can't say enough about what a tremendous job she did!

    A dream wedding day with the dream team!

    If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make you feel as though there's not a single thing going wrong when your hair dresser is 3 hours late, your dad has gone missing when it's time for family photos, and everyone has decided that they're bringing uninvited plus ones, then LOOK NO FURTHER! Seriously, your search is over. Book Nicolette like yesterday before it's too late! We booked Nicolette for month of coordination and our only regret is that we didn't book her for full planning! She went above and beyond the call of duty all while making me think there wasn't a single thing going wrong. She was ALWAYS available, even when she was vacationing in Thailand and I was hoping she wouldn't respond, she was on it! Seriously, they say brides don't eat the day of the wedding because of the stress and how busy you are but, I had no problem chowing down on the best food El Adobe had to offer because I was confident Nicolette could handle everything that was coming her way. Her timeline was immaculate and accounted for the tardiness of not only my family but my hair dresser! She even offered to go out, buy curlers, and curl my hair for me if my hair dresser didn't show. Not only did she manage to keep everything going smoothly but she managed to totally obliterate my stress levels the day of and make every guest she encountered want to be her bff (bride and groom included) while at the same time directing them to where they were supposed to be. Honestly, I can't even begin to tell you how great my experience was because of her and her team. I just hope other couples can have as wonderful of an experience as we did by going with Sparkling Soirees!

    Best Day Ever

    To say Nicolette with Sparkling Soirees was incredible would be an understatement. My family and I were able to let go and truly enjoy the day while all of our needs and wants for the day were met. She is not just a wedding planner, but instead a strong support system, a guiding light, and my wedding fairy godmother. Truly the best day of my life and it was so much of that was because of the hard work done by Sparkling Soirees. Thank you with all of my heart! Highly Recommend.

    Sparkling Soirees's reply:

    My beautiful bride, it was a true pleasure to be a part of you and David's big day! El Adobe de Capistrano set the perfect stage for your fun-loving dance party & we are blessed to have been a part of it all. The personalized touches still make me swoon, and I think of you every time I use my cozy serape blanket! Sending love & best wishes to our fabulous Mr. & Mrs!

    Absolutely Incredible!

    Nicolette is amazing and the reason our wedding was a flawless gorgeous event. After touring a few different venues, we met Nicolette at a property where she showed us around. We were not the biggest fan of that venue but then she recommended Casa Romantica because she thought it would be a good fit with what we said we were looking for and she was dead on. Throughout the entire process Nicolette went above and beyond to help us through the process. She handled all of the extra forms our venue required, remained in contact with all of our vendors and made sure that everything was worry free for us leading up to the event. On the day of, it was cloudy with a high probability of rain...Nicolette handled everything from moving our ceremony from outside to inside to back outside while monitoring the set up process of every other vendor. The entire wedding timeline ran on time (when does that ever happen?!) and she made sure that every little thing was in place. We did not have a worry on our wedding day and we attribute it to Nicolette being absolutely incredible. Working with Sparkling Soirees will be the best decision of this entire process! - J & O (...and it did rain, immediately after our ceremony once everyone had moved inside for cocktails!)

    Fairy God Mother

    Nicolette and her team were FANTASTIC! I am so bummed we only had Nicolette for the week and day of our wedding. If I had found her sooner I would have had a completely stress free wedding planning experience! If you are looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator that will give you a wedding day where you can 100% relax and enjoy the day...look no further. Nicolette was my fairy god mother. Not only does she anticipate every want/need, she is just an amazing person to be around. Her demeanor is completely calming and you can tell she has a genuine passion for delivering you your perfect day. I cannot say enough good things!

She handled EVERYTHING with such poise and was always on top of everything. I'm naturally a worry worm so when questions arose the day before and day of the wedding day someone always reassured me "Nicolette already took care of it" or "Nicolette is already on top of that." Throughout the day, Nicolette made sure I had everything I needed and that all my must haves were not missed or overlooked. I was truly stress free and Nicolette made my dream wedding a reality. I'm so grateful for everything she did for us! I can't speak her praises enough!

    Nicolette was amazing. I could not ask for a better coordinator. She took ownership and made my wedding stress free. She was the best thing I did for my wedding. From day one until the wedding, she was ready with everything I needed. Thank you so so much, you made my wedding easy.

    Everything about working with Nicolette and her team from Sparkling Soirees was OUTSTANDING! She completely captured my vision for our Big Day! I highly recommend using Sparkling Soirees for any occasion! She truly made our wedding stress free and helped implement every single important detail. The process of planning a wedding can be so very time consuming and overwhelming, she goes far above expectation to make sure nothing is missed and the day is flawless! I honestly cried when I walked into the reception and saw all our ideas come to life. Nicolette was such a blessing and joy to work with and made sure we all had the most memorable experience!

    Nicolette was an absolute dream to work with! Basically all I had to do was show her what I like, and she took care of the rest! I showed up on the day of our shower and everything was perfect - I loved every tiny detail! I was able to just enjoy the day without a care in the world. Nicolette has a real talent for putting on amazing events and I recommend her to everyone I know!

    Wow! Not enough words. My wedding wouldn’t have been half the wedding it was without Nicolette. She’s an angel.
