Met and Exceeded exceptions

818 Events really met and exceed expectations- from the beginnig to the end Nadine was there to help and even pitch ideas when we didnt know what to do. From a couple that had 0 weddding experience, Nadine was very very helpful. She even drove back to the hotel to get the ring bearers box when the grooms squad forgot it. Everything flowed seamlessly, allowing us to fully be in the moment, from day's start to day's end, without worry. That's a huge deal and something we'll never forget. Thank you Nadine!

Best event planner ever!!!!

If I could put more stars I would. 818 events made my day exactly what I wanted it to be. I was skeptic about using a planner for my wedding but honestly in the end I don’t think the day would have been what it was without 818 events. Nadine and her staff were amazing. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I highly recommend her to everyone person I can who is planning an event.

Nadine = Amazing

I stumbled across Nadine on TikTok. A particular video she posted stood out to me so I reached out. During the call, Nadine was very honest, she told me the type of support I was looking for (a heavy focus on decor setup) she doesn’t offer; however, she gave me a bunch of recommendations. I went with one of her recommendations. Four months later I reached out to Nadine again. Her kindness left an impression and I wanted her to bring my vision to life.

Nadine is great at her job! She’s helped navigate stressful situations with uncooperative vendors. She coordinated our wedding flawlessly.

We are grateful for all the support prior to and on the day of. Nadine is encouraging, kind and goes above and beyond. Nadine truly made the experience effortless. You are extraordinary at what you do. Thank you 💕

A Wedding Planner’s Dream Wedding Planner

I absolutely loved working with Nadine and her team for my recent wedding. I am a wedding planner myself, so turning my details over to someone else was such an unusual experience. Nadine and her team blew me away with their professionalism, hard work, and kindness. My vision was executed exactly according to my vision and I highly recommend hiring her to plan and coordinate your wedding!

Best wedding planner in the city

Our wedding would not have happened without Nadine. She rolled with the punches and pivoted several times due to our challenging venue or last minute requests from the bride and groom. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the our special day. Her assistant Lauren was also very helpful and very solutions oriented - everything that was thrown at her she figured out a way forward. Despite all the hiccups we endured behind the scenes, thanks to Nadine and Lauren, our guests were not affected and had only great things to say.

If you’re considering hiring 818 Events, take this as a sign you must book in your dates asap before someone else does.

Wedding Planner

Our destination wedding wouldn't have been perfect if it wasn't for Nadine's expertise. She worked behind the scenes to make sure everything was running smoothly and we stayed stress free on our wedding day. Thank you for being a essential part to our big day. Cindy and Logan.

Event Planner Assistant

Working with Nadine is an absolutely amazing experience. She’s extremely hard-working and aims to make sure her clients are happy. She is non-stop right up until the event is over. My first event with her, we dove right in, working seamlessly as a team, I’m honored and extremely lucky to have her as my mentor.

My wedding day was exactly how we vision it to be.

818 Events has a lot of knowledge and contacts to cater to all sorts of requests when it comes to planning your wedding. They are hands on and give recommendations or advice when needed. This can be a very exciting and also busy time especially for the bride trying to make sure she gets every detail right, Nadine is there to support but also as a friend to help take away any stress that comes up while making all those decisions. My wedding day was definitely stress free for me and I worried about nothing knowing Nadine was present and ready for anything that might need taking care of.
