TESTIMONIALS
Our venue had a wedding/day-of coordinator so we originally thought we would only need a month-of coordinator but hiring Nicole was the BEST DECISION we made!! She understood the vision we were going for from the beginning and everything was beautifully executed and was exactly what we envisioned! We cannot recommend Nicole enough to anyone that is planning a wedding. She is super organized, responds to emails within minutes, extremely reliable, calm and has great taste! She also introduced us to great vendors that really helped put our vision together. She went above and beyond on all the small details for our wedding - she thought of every detail! On the actual day of the wedding, Nicole and Christina ran back and forth between the bridal and groomsmen suite and did an amazing job coordinating with all the vendors. She was calm, cool and collected the entire day even in moments that I felt stressed and that was huge. Our wedding was the best day and we were able to completely enjoy ourselves and that's because we trusted Nicole and knew she could handle whatever came her way.

Nicole is the single best decision you will make in the wedding process - right up there with the decision to get married in the first place. Our wedding weekend was the most magical, perfect weekend of our lives and we owe that to Nicole’s artistic vision, her exceptional ability to execute, her superpower attention to detail, and her extraordinarily calm demeanor. In order to understand just how versatile, kind, creative, sweet, accommodating, brilliant, and amazing Nicole is, here’s three things you need to know about us: 1) We have three sets of parents, all with lots of opinions and all of whom were involved in the planning; 2) We had three full events (Friday BBQ, Saturday Wedding, Sunday Brunch) with 200 guests invited to each; 3) I spent the year leading up to our wedding traveling across Africa and Asia for work, and had little time to plan. Any one of those situations would have been challenging, but Nicole was never fazed and was always unfailing calm. She designed and executed a perfect weekend - every vendor she recommended was the perfect fit, every design detail was noticed and appreciated by guests.

Nicole was everything we hoped for in a wedding planner and so much more. She was creative, attentive, hard working, organized, enthusiastic, and a lot of fun to work with. She continuously went above and beyond the call of duty to build our wedding into exactly what we hoped it would be, finding ways to make it all happen while staying focused on the budget. She was tireless in her pursuit of making us and our families happy and we all came to trust her judgment completely. With her great taste and creativity, Nicole was able to transform our vision into a beautiful wedding that fit our personalities to the tee, collaborating with us every step of the way on design, food, booze, music, ceremony everything. She had so much versatility in her style, and listened so well to us, that whenever we felt that particular pieces weren't working she was ready with a suggestion that brought it all together. At the same time, we never felt pressured to take her suggestions or go with particular vendors and she always gave us honest, supportive, and helpful feedback.

Literally the best. Our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of thanks to her. She is selfless, kind, calming and understanding whilst always taking control and managing all details and behind the scene crises that arise. No task is too large for Nicole. I don’t think she told me “no” once. I had very specific wants yet also an unclear vision for my wedding. Nicole took what I gave her and ran with it and my faith in her had me crying tears of joy on my wedding day. Her taste is impeccable and she can transform any space to make it stunning. Guests are still telling us how beautiful and we’ll-run every aspect of our weekend was - thanks to Nicole. If you have any concerns or problems during the planning process, she remains calm and has a solution instantly. She always makes you feel like you are the only wedding on her mind every time you meet or speak in persons, via email or text. Hire her if you want a beautiful, unique, personal, and well-run event.

No words can even begin to fully express our gratitude to Nicole for planning the most spectacular wedding weekend for us, our friends, and family. We are deeply indebted to her- from our very first call to our last (and every call/email/text in between!) Nicole was incredibly focused, patient, helpful, efficient, honest, and organized! Bringing Nicole on board was, by far and away, the best decision we made throughout the planning process! She is an EXPERT in her field- she connected us to the greatest vendors, she has the best ideas, beautiful visions, and executes it all flawlessly. She is also so sweet, funny, thoughtful, and became a good friend in time of such high stress and pressure. Nicole took every curve ball with such ease - we knew the entire time that we were in the BEST hands. THANK you Nicole, for making sure our weekend was beyond our wildest imaginations. Thank you for carrying out every little detail while we focused on the big picture. We love you so much!!!

I worked with Nicole to plan our wedding this past Labor Day Weekend and couldn't be happier we chose her. She was so easy to work with and as someone who tends to feel anxious, I felt really calm and organized the whole year thanks to her! Nicole was so helpful in all decision making, planning, coming up with creative ideas and solutions, budgeting and a million other things I can't even think of right now. The whole weekend ran seamlessly and I really really felt that I got to be present and enjoy the entire wedding and that is in huge part thanks to Nicole and her team. There is not one thing I would change and I couldn't be more satisfied with the entire experience, so much so that I actually miss the planning.

Nicole was the single most important component of our wedding. With my wife in the wedding industry we had high expectations for someone who was going to be taking on such a big role and she not only met those expectations but infinitely excessed them with kindness and grace. We had a clear vision of what we wanted but needed someone to help us execute those ideas and Nicole went above and beyond to make sure out day was exactly how we envisioned. She's extremely professional and easy going, firm and kind, she's understanding, creative, thoughtful, and beyond knowledgable about every aspect of event planning. From big items with lighting and rentals, to candle holders and cake knives, she makes sure it's all taken care of as stress-free and painless as possible. She takes charge when other vendors are slow to respond, she gives advice on where to spend money, jumps in to manage stressful situations, anticipates your needs, and personally will make sure the day runs as seamlessly as possible.

Working with Nicole was the absolute best. We talked to a few different planners when considering who we would hire, and she was the obvious choice as soon as we spoke to her for the first time. Not only is she extremely organized and on top of everything, she is also skilled in design and aesthetics, very personal and easy to get to know, and clearly has a great relationship with vendors who trust her and want to work with her. The year or so we planned our wedding was so pleasant and fun, and I'm truly sad it's over in large part because Nicole made the process easy, fun, and personalized to us. I've already recommended her to several friends and would do so to anyone else.

If I could plan a wedding again with Nicole I would. I got married just over a week ago and I can say without hesitation that I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to Nicole and the All Who Wander team. Nicole and I worked together for just over a year and it was an absolute breeze. In spite of a few venue changes over that period, Nicole truly executed the best wedding/party imaginable. She has built amazing relationships with vendors and put together an A+ team to ensure that my vision was executed to a tee. It was particularly impressive, considering the venue was a private residence that had never hosted a wedding before. Nicole has a knack for guiding your hand in the right direction without outwardly telling you what you should do. I never felt that what I wanted was being out-shined by my planners vision, which is something I found to be very important. It was told again and again how much fun our guests had, what a great party it was, and how relaxed the bride (myself), the groom, and our families were throughout.

We got married at the Montauk Yacht Club this September and Nicole helped us plan the entire wedding. Nicole was amazing to work with - she was beyond organized and always kept her cool even in stressful situations. Nicole is so responsive and helps make the process fun. I am so lucky I found Nicole because I couldn't imagine a better wedding planner. My wedding day ran so smoothly and I know it's because of Nicole. We planned the rehearsal dinner/welcome drinks on our own and when our venue pulled something sketchy, I called Nicole for advice even though it wasn't her event. She dropped everything to come help solve the problem and fix the disaster! It shows her dedication to her clients to go above and beyond her duties. Any bride would be lucky to have Nicole as her planner; she made the planning process and wedding weekend a dream come true. I can't say enough how much I enjoy Nicole as a person and as a wedding planner!

Nicole took our vision for a 3 day farm-to-table understated elegant wedding weekend and gave us something that far exceeded our wildest expectations. She assembled an all-star vendor team and gave us a wedding people are still raving about. The wedding and the design were well thought out, the small details fit together, and there was a subtle story that was expertly woven from start to finish. Nicole guided our decisions based on her experience and knew exactly where to recommend spending extra money and where we could save money without anyone noticing. The logistics for our wedding were complicated, my husband and I lived in London, Christian’s family lives in Germany and my family is in the US. However none of that mattered. Nicole was beyond flexible to accommodate our schedules and perfectly blended our different cultural traditions together. The best part was that no one in our family had one stress the entire time leading up to the wedding and more importantly throughout the weekend and that is priceless.

I don't know how I will ever thank you enough for executing such a perfect, gorgeous wedding weekend for Andrew and I. Your talent, organization, creativity, and kindness made every intimidating process possible and much more enjoyable for us. Thanks to you on our wedding day we were able to focus on each other and celebrating with our friends and family. Nicole, you are a very talented, extraordinary person.
-Hannah Murtaugh | Gansett Green Manor
Nicole combines the necessary qualities of great taste, creativity, attention to detail, close relationships with suppliers, and best of all a zero tolerance policy for the jokers looking to take advantage of a wedding. Crucially, she's easy to get a hold of and snappy on details small and large. Things just get done. Even for the most organised of us, there are a number of aspects of wedding planning where experience really matters- how exactly do you arrange the license when you live in the city and your wedding is upstate? What about guests flying into the country who have never been to America? Who's going to: field endless questions, manage changes of mind about hotels, note dietary requirements- and on it goes. Answer: Nicole. She's cool under pressure. When a supplier or two needed whipping into line for taking liberties on pricing and sneaking extras onto the bill- she was brilliantly indifferent about throwing them overboard. In other words, she was on our side- and I'd say that matters most with your wedding planner. She transformed Barn at Liberty Farms into something really spectacular and heartfelt- beautifully realised and thought through. She over delivered and nothing was too much.
