You'll find her to be fun, honest and approachable, blended with professional at all times.
Nicole has a keen attention to detail, she delights in the logistics, spreadsheets and vendor negotiations that allow her couples the true luxury to enjoy their engagement while planning their most memorable day.

She feels strongly that site inspections and research is the key to finding the best locations for a couple and their guests. Travelling multiple times a year to seek out new venues, she's personally visited over 150 venues to better serve her couples.
FUN FACTS ABOUT NICOLE
Although a seasoned veteran, she is never done learning and is addicted to conferences and online workshops. In fact, if you know of any online learning support groups, she'd likely join that too. A little bit OCD (overly conscious of the details) she believes this truly helps her plan the best weddings possible.
When not working on weddings she is the Queen of home improvement. A self-taught carpenter, plumber, and ceramic tile fitter. (But failing electrician status after the ceiling fan incident) You'll find she always has a notebook nearby filled with her upcoming "projects".
She loves shoes, sunshine, margaritas and fish tacos. And it's entirely possible she could become that crazy cat lady in another 20 years.
FAVOURITES
Mexico.
Nicole loves Mexico as it offers a wide range of venues to fit all budgets, from moderate to luxury. It's a great blend of traditional culture with modern facilities, hard working friendly people, with an endless variety of activities available.
