    The Most Critical Wedding Vendor: NICOLE!

    Stag and Lily is IT!! What a pleasure and relief it was to have Nicole in my life throughout the past year! As a Type-A girl, I like to plan things “my way,” and wanted a coordinator that would allow me the space to plan our wedding according to our vision, but also provide much-needed direction and handle all of the nitty gritty details and logistics leading up to and on the big day. Nicole did exactly that!

    Along the way, Nicole provided a comprehensive site for us filled with guidance, planning documents, and timeline information. I was so incredibly prepared because of her and didn’t have to research a single thing on my own! She was also...

    If you need a planner, look no further!

    As a detail-oriented person, I wanted someone to come in the last three months and serve as a day of director. Nicole was absolutely the best person for the job.

    First, during my initial calls trying to find the right planner, Nicole was a wealth of information. Before we even agreed to work together she was sharing tips about our venue, giving ideas and providing feedback on our concerns. I was absolutely sold.

    Nicole has a robust planning site and tools to keep you on track. I was never concerned on forgetting something and she has helpful resources for every stage.

    The day of, was not exactly how I planned per the weather, but I...

    Stop your search...Stag and Lily is the ONE!

    Nicole and her team are the DREAM TEAM; highly organized, professional, personable, and communicative; this is what wedding dreams are made of! Nicole took such good care of us not only on our wedding day but leading up to our big day. She took the time to understand our vision and hopes for our special day. Everything was handled flawlessly. My family had such great things to say about how she and her team worked behind the scenes to ensure everything went off without a hitch. She communicated with our vendors and just made sure everything was beautiful from the timeline to the setup. I had so much confidence and trust in Nicole and knew I couldn't have asked...

    Nicole and team are amazing!!

    My wife and I engaged the services of Stag and Lily via a recommendation from a family friend. After an initial introductory meeting, we were thrilled to book Nicole and team to manage the details of our wedding day. We were provided excellent organizational tools and tips, which helped keep us on task and as stress-free as possible. Our wedding day was flawless - Stag and Lily brought our vision to life perfectly, kept everyone in line and on time, and were so sweet and professional all day long. It was amazing to walk into both our ceremony and reception and see the result of months of planning, executed to absolute perfection. Not a single detail was overlooked, and we received compliment after compliment about the beautiful atmosphere. Thanks so much, Nicole and team!

    Best of best wedding planning

    I had the best, most memorable time at my daughter’s wedding because I went perfectly — I didn’t have to worry about one detail thanks to excellent planning by Stag & Lily. Nicole is the best.

    Nicole made everything easy!

    There is no way my husband and I would have had the amazing wedding we did without Stag & Lily. We were perhaps the laziest wedding planning partners imaginable, and Nicole was so organized and on top of it that we could be lazy - she made everything a breeze. She got us and what we wanted immediately from the day we met through the last dance. My mom even joked that during the wedding, whenever she would think, ‘oh, I need to find Nicole,’ there she would appear next to her! She literally has a 6th sense for what everyone needs, and always delivers. Hire her!

    It's All About Trust

    As a groom, I felt very confident in my now-wife's decision to use Stag and Lily as our day-of coordinator. Nicole was always focused when we talked and truly listened to us as we went about planning our big day. She's organized and direct. We depended on her to handle almost all communication with vendors and even some guests leading up to our ceremony and she executed flawlessly. Lastly, she worked almost entirely behind the scenes, allowing the day to belong to my wife and I, while making sure it ran seamlessly. It's that kind of trust you want when you're trying to execute such an important celebration. We had trust in Stag and Lily during our wedding and definitely feel that our trust was well placed.

    Highly Recommend this Event Coordinator!

    Nicole was AMAZING. She was very professional right from the start. She is very organized and gets back to your questions in a timely manner. She works with you to ensure that your vision of your wedding day is exactly what you intended. I highly recommend hiring Stag and Lily for your event coordination, our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without them.

    10/10 Recommend Stag & Lily

    I would recommend Stag & Lily to EVERYONE that I know. Nicole is prompt, professional, honest, and I can't imagine our wedding day without her and her team! One of the biggest comments we got about our wedding was how seamless the transitions were from the Ceremony to the Cocktail Hour to the Reception Hall. Nicole ensured that anything we needed was taken care of before our big day, during our big day, and even the breakdown of everything after the reception ended. We didn't have to worry about anything.

    As one wedding professional to another, when it came to planning our wedding day - we were nervous! I mean, it was now our turn to be the ones getting married (not a client). Talk about pressure! But then, then we met Nicole of Stag & Lily. And from that first meeting with Nicole, we knew. We knew that on our wedding day, we wouldn't have to worry about a THING! And we didn't. She had connections all over town, caught our vision, implemented our style, and made sure that OUR priorities were experienced. We were 100% peaceful day-of and looking back, we can honestly only remember positive things from our special day (not something everyone experiences!). Why? Nicole...

    Amazing Wedding Planner

    Stag and Lily was so amazing to work with for my wedding day. I’m a perfectionist and was blown away by Nicole. She was so organized and extremely detail oriented. She made sure to have every detail touched on and covered — from ceiling to floor and across all vendors everything was exactly how I envisioned. We had several months of planning and phone calls and at the very end, I think Nicole knew more about my wedding than I did. So extremely professional and my wedding ran flawlessly. Everyone kept telling me that the wedding may not be perfect and to just go with the flow, so I went in with that mindset, but Nicole absolutely killed it and it was perfect. Everything went exactly as planned.

    Make Your Life Easier!!

    If you're getting married soon and do not want to worry about the minute details of your wedding day, I would absolutely recommend working with Stag & Lily! Nicole was amazing!! She handled everything leading up to our wedding day - like coordinating all vendors, going over vendor contracts, setting up a day-of timeline, and more. Everything happened seamlessly! She made it so we could literally just worry about having fun :) Hire them and make your life easier!!!

    A Planner & A Partner!

    I approached Nicole for planning my wedding at Upper Shirley Vineyards this April after every Bride’s nightmare-the event planner we had previously been working with had been so inattentive and unhelpful, we had to part ways. My first call with Nicole, every concern I had about finding the right planner melted away. Not only is Nicole insanely organized (her planning tools are unbelievably impressive, and cover topics most people would never think of on their own) but she is incredibly kind, down to earth, and acts as a true partner throughout the planning process. Nicole is so committed to her clients that she didn’t even take off from coordinating our wedding when she had her baby this spring!!

    Nicole makes the dream work!

    My husband and I had three months to plan our wedding and we could not have made it without the help of Nicole with Stag & Lily. Our wedding ceremony was at Maymont and our reception was at the Hofheimer Building. Nicole made the wedding day go seamless with the vendors and coordination of events, so my husband and I could enjoy our big day with our friends and family. She has a lot of ties in the wedding community to help you find the vendors of your needs. She is organized, professional, a pleasure to be around and will tell you how it is to steer you in your desired direction. I absolutely recommend using Nicole with Stag and Lily for your event needs.

    Organized, timely and wonderful!

    My husband and I had no clue where to begin our wedding planning but we knew we needed to hire Nicole to help us organize our big day! From our first meeting we clicked with her easy going personality. Nicole helped us stay focused as our summer wedding drew near with important task reminders and had great vendor recommendations throughout the planning process. Finally, Nicole is a master of creating and sticking to timelines. If you're type A like me, Nicole is your gal!

    Thank you for taking all the stress away so we could soak in the day with our nearest and dearest. Make sure to book her quickly!

    100% recommend!!

    We hired Stag & Lily as our day of coordinator and were so thankful we did! Nicole helped our day proceed seamlessly and flawlessly. Planning a wedding is no joke and I could not have done it without the support and confidence of Nicole. Nicole was so kind and truly knows what she's doing. And most importantly I felt listened to throughout every step! Stag & Lily is incredibly professional, well-organized, and pro-active. I recommend them 100%!

    Hands down the best decision we made was hiring Stag and Lily

    We hired Nicole for the guided partial planning upgrade and could not have enjoyed our wedding day as much as we did without her and her team. She asked us in the beginning what was most important to us, truly heard what we said, and kept us on track to achieve exactly that. She helped us find and secure vendors that fit our budget and aesthetic and handled communications and coordinating with them (and us!) expertly. Her attention to detail can’t be matched, and neither can her ability to ensure those details fulfill the larger vision. As just one example, we heard from a guest afterwards that a member of the Stag and Lily team helped to ensure our...

    Nicole made the wedding day stress-free!

    Nicole was a huge help in planning our wedding and - perhaps even more importantly - in making the big day go totally smoothly without a problem. She was flexible in working with us to plan the day to be exactly what we wanted, including a few things that we wanted done differently than a standard wedding. On the day-of, everything was so organized and Nicole was so familiar with exactly what we wanted and needed that we didn't have to make any new decisions or deal with any new stress - she and her team had it totally under control and we just went with the flow and enjoyed ourselves. We loved working with Nicole, and sincerely cannot imagine having done the wedding without her.

    10 STARS!!!!!!!!!!

    Is it possible to rate 10 stars?!?! Nicole/Stag & Lily were absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding this past weekend. I am so lucky I found Nicole through my vendor (Upper Shirley's Vineyard) preferred list because she is outstanding and made my wedding day absolutely perfect!! Nicole handled my day of coordination (she even provided feedback for vendor recommendations too since I am not from Richmond) and everything about my wedding went stellar. Her documentation, responsiveness, patience (I am a Program Mgr and I ask a TON of questions/like to plan), detailed timeline, attention to details, ability to plan so ceremony and reception flow seamlessly, decor plans and setup (it literally was perfect), etc. are just a...

    More than we ever hoped for!

    We found Nicole through our venue, North Point Plantation. We hired Nicole to do partial planning and day of coordination for our wedding. My husband and I were living over 2 hours away from Richmond while planning our wedding and we therefore needed a flexible planner to help us in person and over the phone. We had countless meetings with Nicole over our 2 year planning period and she truly helped to bring our vision to life. While planning, she helped us to choose a lot of our vendors for the wedding. Her connections to the wedding community were priceless and helped to make our day extra special. During our wedding, Nicole and her team worked tirelessly all day...

    Nicole and her husband were AMAZING to work with! They made my vision come to life and made sure that everything ran smoothly so I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She was incredibly responsive and worked with me when I wanted to change my mind about something! Couldn’t have done it without her, and would highly recommend!

    I would pick Stag & Lily again & again & again!

    Stag & Lily single handedly made my wedding vision come to life. From the first week of my engagement, it was clear that Nicole was my wedding planner, her quickness to respond, organization and ability to be excited about my vision but also keep me on track made her the perfect fit for us. I was not sure what type of wedding planning services I wanted because I knew that I was busy but that I also wanted to be involved, she gave me all of this and more. I am seriously amazed that my wedding dreams were able to become a reality and Nicole made it so much fun and coached me through any stress! I could not have done it without her.

    Can I get married again? Thank you Nicole!

    Nicole was absolutely wonderful to work with! We're really sad that we don't get to see her anymore now that the wedding is done. Throughout the entire process Nicole was extremely responsive, fun, and helped us put our idea (and budget) into perspective. We looked forward to meeting with her every time and she really helped decrease our stress. However, the ultimate test was when a hurricane was supposed to hit the weekend of our wedding. Nicole worked overtime to move our outdoor wedding indoors and redo the timeline with all the vendors (and get money back from those who cancelled). Despite a decreased guest count and the threat of rain/tornadoes we had an absolute perfect wedding thanks to...

    Just outstanding!

    I have been so pleased and thrilled from the onset to be working with Lily & Stag! The whole process was outstanding, thorough, high standards, professional and they met expectations and so much more! The outcome was amazing, and many guests commented on how lovely the wedding was. I could not have asked for anything more from their services! Thank you so very much Lily & Stag!
