DREAM day-of coordinator!

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give Nicky and his team! We had an absolutely perfect day and I credit that entirely to One and Only Events and Nicky. I wanted a very simple wedding that still exuded luxury and Nicky took our vision and made it a reality. What set Nicky apart from other planners and day-of coordinators for me is that he has such an open mind, such a positive energy, and clearly a wealth of experience and I thankfully thoroughly benefitted from it! He was also able to pivot so easily when things changed (or at least he made it look easy!).

Any time someone has asked me how I was able to be so relaxed at my wedding, I give Nicky and One and Only Events full credit! I can't recommend them enough.

Amazing stress-free day!

Nicky (as our Partial Planner and Day Of Coordinator) was dedicated to helping our special day come together successfully! Throughout the process he was available to reply to emails with support, suggestions, information, and even opinions when asked, and was very organized and focused during phone calls. The decor options were extremely helpful, with classy and tasteful selections. Nicky was knowledgeable and thoughtfully kind! In our view, our day was perfect. We were able to confidently embrace the day knowing all was taken care of, and ended up thrilled with how everything looked and flowed so smoothly; the decor, the rapport with venue and staff, and the way it all helped our friends and family enjoy and celebrate with us! We have had so much positive feedback, and we know that so much is thanks to Nicky and One and Only Events! 🙂

The best wedding decision!

Nicky was the absolute BEST and I could not recommend him enough. I had a little less than 1 month to plan our wedding which I thought would have been incredibly stressful. But he handled everything so seamlessly, understood my vision, gave me lots of tips to keep to my budget, coordinated with all my vendors, created an effective timeline, put together my decor (which my friends were all raving about)... I can go on and on. He was just so on top of everything.
We enjoyed our whole day completely stress free. Thank you so much for everything Nicky. Any couple who books you for their wedding is going to be so lucky to have you!

Nicky: 10/10 Recommend!

Nicky is a gem, he will go out of his way to make your day special! He worked with my husband and I throughout the planning process, making sure that everything was coordinated and prepared for our special day. He will be mindful of small details (that often get overlooked), and will also remind you to think of the weather on the day of the wedding. He recommended that we switch our ceremony location (originally supposed to be at Stanley Park Rose Garden, which is partially on a slope) to somewhere indoors, and we were able to avoid the rain!! The day of the wedding, he even brought us food from the kitchen before our reception so we had energy to keep going. Our wedding day was wildly busy, we were so grateful to have all of his help!

If you're looking for someone who is kind, organized and supportive, please go with Nicky. You won't regret it☺

Would recommend to anyone!

It was so great to have Nicky and his team with us! We originally weren't going to have a coordinator at all, but I am so glad we did! Without a doubt one of the best decisions in our wedding planning process. They were professional, reliable, and friendly, and truly made the day go smoothly. Communication was very quick, and we definitely wouldn't have been as worry-free and stress-free without them! Thank you!

Nicky is Amazing!

Nicky has been the best wedding planner anyone could ever ask for. He helped us plan our wedding from start to finish and was on top of everything from the beginning. We're both so thankful to him for being so easy to work with and always guiding us in the right direction. It feels like he could read our minds and he was always super responsive. Our wedding was executed perfectly by him and his team and we cannot recommend him enough!

Nicky: best in the business!

There are so many great things to say about Nicky because he is so amazing at what he does. From planning to execution, Nicky was there every step of the way. We got married in September 2022 and booked our venue in July 2021, and Nicky kept us on track not only with the planning but on our wedding day. We knew that we wouldn’t have to worry about anything because Nicky was on it!

Nicky’s dedication to his clients and willingness to jump in to help with anything and everything is second to none. Because of issues with the venue, we were on the verge of changing venues just weeks before our wedding date. Even though Nicky was out of town on a much-deserved vacation, he still took impromptu calls with us to provide his expertise. Throughout that headache, which lasted a few weeks, Nicky willingly jumped on last-minute calls with us and even reached out to other venues just in case we needed to make the change. His calm personality and conflict management skills helped us feel confident that things would work out even when it seemed like everything was falling apart.

Nicky was communicative throughout the process and would provide us with recommendations based on his experience, which was appreciated! He was great in sourcing ideas based on visions we had in our head and was realistic on what could be executed based on timelines and resources. He was always quick and thoughtful in his responses. Even though he was working on so many other weddings, we always felt like a priority even when our wedding was a few weeks/months away.

He’s organized and his attention to detail is impeccable. He let us know everything we needed to know and provided timelines for deliverables. The wedding day went off without a hitch because of the care and attention Nicky gave everything.

When we first got engaged, we were hesitant to bring on a planner but we can say for certain that we wouldn’t have been able to pull off the day without Nicky! Even though we had Nicky as a ‘day-of coordinator’, he definitely helped us with way more than that. And what we’re most grateful for is that we never felt as though Nicky ever treated this (or us) like a transaction or ‘just another project he needed to get through’.

Professional, communicative, meticulous - the best!

Nicky literally saved the day! We forgot to bring our guestbook to the ceremony venue within an hour of the ceremony starting. Nicky and his team problem solved, acted quickly, and we were able to have everything ready before our guests arrived.
Nicky made everything go as seamless as possible throughout the entire day, and my husband and I did not have to worry about a thing. From planning pre-wedding to the-day-of, Nicky was professional and very communicative with us and my entire vendor team. Flawless execution. Highly recommend!

Outstanding and wouldn’t plan a wedding without Nicky!

Nicky was essential in making sure our day ran so smoothly without any hitches. We were originally unsure if we needed help with planning, and day of coordination, but so happy that we decided to work with him in the end. Nicky’s attention to detail and wonderful suggestions on the ‘little things’ were paramount to ensure our day was so special. We will be forever grateful and highly recommend him to anyone considering his services. Thanks Nicky!
