Nicole, Colleen, and the rest of the Urban Allure team did all of the florals for our wedding and it completely exceeded all of my expectations. Nicole worked with me over several meetings to help me bring my vision to life. She had amazing creative ideas that I would have never thought of on my own and really understood what we were going for. They hung florals, disco balls, and even chandeliers over our dance floor, creating the most stunning environment. Colleen, who handled a lot of the floral sourcing, even included some beautiful blooms from her personal garden in our arrangements. It was such a special touch.
Choosing Urban Allure was one of the BEST vendor decisions I could have made and I'd recommend them to anyone. -

Having a wedding planner is the absolute best decision you can make for your wedding day, but an even better decision is hiring Urban Allure Events as your planning team.
We had the incredible pleasure of having Nicole, the owner be our lead planner for the day of our wedding. She is proactive, responsive and a masterful timeline creator. Our wedding day was flawless in large part because of Nicole. Whenever she had even a whiff of something going sideways, she had almost a sixth sense to get in front of it and fix it without me ever having to worry about it. Details I thought I had nailed, she thought of and made it even better than I dreamed.
From our first call with Nicole she asked what we were worried/stressed about and as a marketer who's planned and hosted many events I told her my only worry was being wrapped up in making sure everyone else had a good time and that I wouldn't focus on myself having a good one. She took that to heart and made sure literally the only thing I thought about was being present with my new husband, family and friends the entire day.
People kept asking me "how are you so calm?" and my answer was "I don't have to worry about anything, I have Nicole and the Urban Allure team."
Book them now and watch your wedding of your dreams come to life! -

Issabelle is amazing!
We worked with Issabelle from Urban Allure as our month of coordinator, and she was incredible. Very helpful, always responsive to questions, and kept us on track leading up to the big day. She made sure our day of timeline was thorough, including to make sure we had time before the reception to see the space and practice our first dance. Issabelle made sure we had time alone to take it all in. She checked on us throughout getting ready, photos, and the reception to make sure we were happy and things were going smoothly. She coordinated with all of our vendors and was a great communicator when issues arose. Highly recommend Issabelle and Urban Allure for your wedding! -

I worked with Gina for almost a year leading up to the wedding (partial planning package) and, on the big day, she made our vision come to life and took all of the stress off of me (and my mom and bridesmaids). If you are on the fence about getting a planner, do it... and hire Urban Allure. Thank you Gina!! -

As a partner vendor with Room 1520, I had the pleasure of working with Kyleigh as my day of coordinator. What no one told me about a day of coordinator is that they actually begin working with you about a month in advance of your wedding! Kyleigh took over as the main contact for all my vendors in advance and had a few sessions with me to let me know what to expect day of. She was AMAZING to work with and handled every detail with grace and a smile on her face. We had about an hour delay due to my transportation company not picking up guests as scheduled and Kyleigh went above and beyond to resolve the situation day of as well as calling them and myself the Monday after to ensure a resolution was executed. Even though we had that delay, Kyleigh worked with the vendor team to shorten up some things so that we could get the guests to eating and drinking as soon as possible. If you’re on the fence about getting a coordinator - IT’S WORTH IT - and Urban Allure is the best in the biz. -

Lauren Sent on 07/19/2021Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Nicole.
Nicole is the best in the business. Even if I hadn’t been a pandemic bride, I would have been so lost without her. She was there for every phone call, every meeting, and every major planning decision so that our wedding didn’t even have a minor hiccup. Mind you my Husband and I are in Pittsburgh, Nicole is in Chicago, and our Venue was in Destin, FL. Being in different time zones was never a problem she was always so on top of everything. Nicole helped us to replan and reschedule everything when the pandemic hit. She was a shoulder to cry on as well and was so supportive through the entire thing. On top of rescheduling a year of weddings she was also taking on new ones for the following years and not once did she miss a detail; and I’m talking about small details like placing origami boats at the tables before the reception. From the exact position of the aisle and alter I wanted… to receiving and coordinating every delivery the day of the wedding I did not lift a finger. She took thorough notes for two years and even reminded me multiple times of things I missed or things I had mentioned in the past that I had forgotten. She is truly the best. My husband and I will never be getting married again, but I wish we were just so Nicole could help us plan! Her organizational skills and experience are second to none and she was prepared for anything that were to happen the day of our Wedding. We did almost all of our photos before the ceremony and were on a strict timeline all day. She was on top of every second making sure no one got lost and even escorted the groom to the first look to ensure he didn’t see me!! We would not have been even close to on time if it weren’t for Nicole. We even did an event after rehearsal dinner that she helped us coordinate the entire event and all the transportation for and ensured all our guests made it to the beach and back safely. We absolutely adore Nicole and if you’re on the fence about getting a wedding planner. YOU WON’T REGRET IT. -

Peace of Mind
Nicole and her team are so valuable. Any bride works hard to plan every detail of their wedding day and Nicole allows you to enjoy all the time and energy on the wedding day by not having to worry about anything! She literally ran the show but did it in a very respectful, kind, and loving way. She calmed me down and made me feel very comfortable while getting ready so I could enjoy every moment of the ceremony and reception. Couldn’t have pulled off all the details without her (or without going crazy)! -

Abby Sent on 12/01/2019You need to hire Nicole and Urban Allure Events!
We cannot thank Nicole enough for all she did to make our wedding day so magical! We were on the fence about hiring a wedding planner and seriously could not have made it through our day without her. We got married at a hotel in downtown Chicago, so a lot of our vendor decisions were through the venue, and there was a coordinator with the hotel, but I am SO happy we decided we needed Nicole as well! She was there to offer advice, calm the craziness of the month, weeks, and days before, and she was there to coordinate all the details between all the vendors. We had to deal with someone at our wedding venue who had a very strong, and at times, difficult personality to deal with, and Nicole handled it like a pro! She also helped us SO much the week before, from taking everything to the hotel, to picking up our wedding favors, which took so much stress off of us! We are just so thankful to Nicole and her team for everything they did for our wedding day! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, or just aren't sure who to hire, look no further, hire Urban Allure now! -

Hadallia Sent on 10/16/2019Nicole & her team are the key to truly enjoying your wedding day!
Here’s the short version: a “day-of” wedding planner is more than worth it and Nicole and her team are the perfect people to do it.
Long version:
We worked with Nicole through a partial planning package. I was initially unsure about having a wedding planner, but the moment my husband and I met her, we knew she would make sure that we’d ENJOY our wedding day. She was on top of it all and such a pleasure to work with. Her experience in the industry (she knows everyone and everything!) and calming presence will make sure that your day goes smoothly. We also loved that she would give us advice if we needed it, but was down to handle whatever decision we made – whether it was the easy/pricy option or an alternative DIY option! Moreover, she’s simply a great person and it was wonderful for her be a part of such a special day.
She made me feel very supported and confident throughout the planning process and WE HAD A BLAST during the wedding because of her. Instead of playing the part of the planner, we were able to just be present as everything came together magically around us. In addition to her coordinating all the vendors and sequence of events, she transported all of our wedding items to and from the venue, making sure everything was setup as we wanted and got back to us. This was HUGE and we were grateful not to have to ask any of our guests to setup, or worse, clean up. Nicole and her team were essential to us feeling that our wedding was the “perfect wedding” (a direct quote from so many of our guests!). As a person with no small amount of anxiety and who likes to be in control, it’s hard to feel like things ever go perfectly, but Nicole made it happen. Being able to enjoy your own wedding is priceless. -

Cass Sent on 09/14/2019The best doc
All you need to know is that Nicole is fantastic, and you want her to be your coordinator. She's the absolute best. We booked Nicole for Day of Coordination for our 7/20/19 wedding, but she was a helpful resource all throughout our wedding planning. Not only is she kind, helpful, and accommodating, this woman gets things done. She worked seamlessly alongside our other vendors, and they all said that she is a joy to work with. So many times throughout planning, we'd mention that we hired Nicole from Urban Allure for our coordination, and they would tell us about how wonderful she was, completely unsolicited. She's a source of calm for you on your wedding day, and she has no problem standing up to venue staff or difficult family if the need arises. The best part, she is on your side and makes sure your vision as the bride and groom is executed. I'm a detail-oriented person, and I was able to relax and just let my wedding day happen because I knew Nicole and her amazing staff were taking care of the coordination and details. I was able to be present and fully enjoy my wedding day - something I could not have done if I had all those other things on my mind. We didn't have to field any questions on the wedding day, Nicole and her team took care of everything. Urban Allure was the best money we spent, because there is no substitution for getting to truly enjoy your wedding day.

Our wedding would not have been the same without Urban Allure and Nicole. We only had day-of services however, the process started before the week of our wedding and our wedding was stress free! The best part was Nicole made it easy for my mother and mother-in-law to relax and enjoy the day as well! Not only did the day go flawlessly thanks to Nicole, she managed to get us on the video board at Wrigley Field the next day when we took our family to a Cubs game. She was there (not working) and took the extra step to celebrate us! Nicole is AMAZING. Urban Allure is an essential part of any wedding. -

Hannah Sent on 07/29/2019The Single Best Wedding Investment Possible!
Nicole is genuinely a miracle worker - we could not imagine having planned and executed our wedding without her and the Urban Allure team. Upon meeting Nicole, we immediately felt so much trust - this feeling only grew and progressed as the planning process went on!
We planned our wedding in Chicago from Boston, so we decided to elect for Partial Planning services in addition to Day-Of Coordinator (whatever you do - at the VERY LEAST hire Urban Allure for this service - you will thank yourself!). She ended up recommending every single vendor we utilized, negotiated contracts, walked through every detail (which we 100% would have omitted without her support), and met up every time we visited Chicago to talk through next steps. My husband and I are both super laid back and aren't ones to sweat small details, and she never pushed us to go above and beyond where we felt comfortable/helped us find ways to secure everything we needed without any finicky additional work.
On our wedding day, Nicole was there from the morning on, ensuring that everyone was where they needed to be and we were calm, cool, and collected! She skillfully combated an emergency dress-mud situation - pulling seltzer water, lemon, Shout pads, and baby powder from her fanny pack as though this were an extremely typical situation. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and the true embodiment of who we are - Nicole even ensured that a very elaborate wedding dance to Beyonce's Homecoming (with Beyonce's actual performance playing in the background...) was executed to perfection. We were at ease the entire day and overwhelmingly and blissfully happy.
Overall - I'd say Urban Allure was hands down the best investment we made in our wedding. I could not recommend them highly enough and will refer them to anyone possible, as everyone deserves a wedding that is a true reflection of the love they share with their partner. Thank you so, so much, Nicole & team! -

Nicole is INCREDIBLE! I can without a doubt say that Urban Allure Events was the most important vendor at our out-of-state wedding and played an instrumental role in our wedding weekend being perfect. I was a SUPER indecisive bride with a lot of life stressors in advance of our wedding, Nicole eased all of my concerns, answered all of our questions (on top of things we never would have thought of!) and helped us immensely through the entire planning process.
As wonderful as Nicole was throughout our planning process, the coordination and organization of the UAEvents team the weekend of our wedding completely blew us away. We had a welcome party at a remote location and Nicole and Brittany set up the room for us, filled our welcome bags, and ensured that we were completely stress free for the entirety of the party. The wedding day also could not have gone more perfectly, at least from our perspective! Nicole, Brittany, and Jenny were SO organized and prepared for anything—it was amazing! They were there from the very beginning of the day to the very last minute and managed the vendor arrivals and payments, ensured our shuttles with guests made it from one incredibly rural location to another, managed guest/vendor needs, and so much more totally calmly and discretely. Communication by the UAE team was also impeccable. We were unable to have a rehearsal at our venue and they ensured our vendors, bridal party, and families knew where to be and that we all remained on schedule for the entirety of the day.
From steaming dresses and decorating the venue, to the complete teardown of the venue and saving us desserts/appetizers we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to enjoy, the UAE team went above and beyond. I could not believe how calm I was the day of our wedding and that is 100% due to Nicole, Brittany, and Jenny’s efforts, friendliness, and organization!
Bottom line: you at the very least NEED a day-of-coordinator and you cannot do any better than Urban Allure Events.

There is no other planner I would look to than Nicole to help in the planning and coordinating of weddings. She is professional, efficient, and responsive, even for a bride who has a hard time making decisions and who needs to talk through everything. On the day of our wedding she went out of her way to pick up cookies from family across town for the reception and dropped off boxes that I had misplaced but desperately needed for getting ready. She was on top of it all and did it with a calm demeanor that immediately put me at ease. I cannot thank her enough for being that positive, supportive, knowledgeable influence on such a momentous day so you should help me in doing so by booking her! You won't be disappointed. -

Heather Sent on 10/17/2018Nicole and Urban Allure Events are amazing!
Could not recommend Nicole (lead coordinator and owner of Urban Allure Events) more! We hired her for month of coordinator services and she was amazing! She is extremely professional and never stressed about anything. She put me at ease and everything went off perfectly day of. Our wedding was at Room 1520 and she is super familiar with the space and knew all of my vendors, who all highly recommended and loved working with her. If you are looking for a wonderful wedding coordinator, look no further! -
Danielle Sent on 09/24/2018Nicole with Urban Allure Events was incredible! From the first day we first spoke all the way through our wedding day, she made everything run so smoothly. We hired her for day-of coordination and she was so helpful beyond just the day of our wedding. We ran into issues with the weather and Nicole still made sure that our vision was executed. She also saved the day when our wedding cake did not arrive--we had a beautiful cutting cake and amazing sheet cakes with the ingredients that were listed on our menu for our guests. Nicole's calm demeanor kept me sane and she made sure our day was amazing! We cannot recommend her enough!

Lindzi Sent on 08/20/2018To say that Nicole and her team turned my wedding dreams into a reality would be an understatement. Nicole swooped in a little more than halfway through the wedding planning process to take all of the stress off of my shoulders. Most of the vendors were set and the vibe chosen, but Nicole came in like the conductor of a symphony and brought all of them together in perfect unison for the big day. We even had a backdrop crisis about 2 weeks before the wedding (the venue changed what we picked) and Nicole came to the rescue with the perfect vendor when my crazy idea for balloons and flowers popped into my head. She even made sure that vendor respected my budget. I can't recommend Nicole and her team enough!

Eileen Sent on 05/06/2018My husband and I got married March 31, 2018 at Ovation in Chicago, and Nicole was beyond instrumental in making our day perfect and incredibly special.
We were so very glad that we decided to work with Nicole after a wonderful recommendation given to us by Tricia Clarke, who amazingly transformed my makeup/hair for the day. When I spoke with Nicole for the first time, I knew right away that she was kind, friendly, super knowledgeable, professional, crazy organized, and so down to earth and sweet. After that conversation, it was obvious that we should work with her for our day-of wedding coordination
And we're so glad that we did! Our wedding day was flawless and came together so well. We couldn't be more grateful to her for executing our wedding day vision perfectly! And to her husband, who was a magician in hanging our copper piping ceremony backdrop. :)
Also hugely important, Nicole eliminated any and all stressors for us and went above and beyond in ensuring we were happy with every single details about decor, logistics, etc. This meant that we could relax the week/day of our wedding and not have to worry about anything! That. Was. The. Best.
Bottom line: we LOVED working with Nicole, and would recommend working with her and her team to anyone and everyone! -

Our wedding day was magical and I am so thankful to Nicole for helping bring our vision to reality.

Ashton Sent on 10/05/2017We can't thank Nicole enough for helping us put together an incredible wedding for us and our guests. Weeks later we are still getting compliments on our wedding. Nicole has always been super responsive, and available to meet or answer questions. Her laid back demeanor was a relief during what felt like stressful planning. She was extremely organized, and put together timelines and floor designs exactly the way we asked. The day of, she and her assistant Anney took charge and let us know we had nothing to worry about, and they were right. They put everything together, and it seemed like they didn't even break a sweat. I'd recommend them to anyone planning not just a wedding, but any event. This was the easiest review I've ever written.

Nicole and Urban Allure were fantastic to work with from to start to finish. She picked up on all vendor communication a few weeks prior, and was with us every step of the way from the final walk through, to her check-in calls and meetings throughout our wedding planning process.
She was very organized, calm, and supportive, which is exactly what a bride and groom will need as their big day approaches. I would highly recommend utilizing Nicole and Urban Allure as they were professional, attentive, competitively priced, and a crucial asset in our wedding planning execution. Thanks for making our big day run so smoothly! -
Renee Sent on 11/28/2017Working with Nicole and her team was fantastic. We planned our wedding in Chicago from out of state, and Nicole could not have been more accommodating in working with us. She had great recommendations on vendors to use, and knew our venue like the back of her hand. The day of, she took complete care of setting up our venue decor, including a painstakingly difficult mirror decal, which looked fantastic! We have zero regrets with hiring Urban Allure, and had a completely stress-free day thanks to their team.
