Nicky and the team at One and Only Events were a dream to work with and I’m so happy we chose him as our Partial Planner and Day of Coordinator for our wedding. Nicky has a calm, kind energy. He is reliable, patient, responsive, and has a good sense of humour! He answered all of our questions throughout the process and was great at keeping us calm and cheering us on.
Nicky gave great recommendations for vendors and venues throughout Vancouver. This was especially important because we were planning our wedding remotely from Alberta. The other vendors that we ended up working with had great things to say about him as well which is always a good sign. We also used the decor rental services offered through One and Only Events which made coordinating our decorations a lot easier.
As for the day of our wedding, everything went so smoothly and Nicky handled and coordinated it perfectly. He had great attention to detail on the day of and even our family members appreciated his guidance to make sure their roles in our day went smoothly as well.

Nicky (and the team) was incredible to work with. We opted to rent decor and the string light hanging service for our wedding in Vancouver. Everything was taken care of from the set up to take down, I didn't even see anyone from the team. Everything was perfectly laid out, tasteful, and exactly as advertised. The only difficult thing was deciding what to rent from the massive selection! It was such a relief to not need to worry about what to do with decor after the wedding, seeing as we flew in for the event. My family and friends got to show up and enjoy; no one needed to lift a finger.
Nicky and I sent a few emails back and forth to decide what we wanted the layout of the space to look like and when I showed up on the wedding day it was better than I even imagined. I cannot recommend One and Only Events enough. 10,000 percent a worthwhile investment for your special event! -

We had a truly wonderful wedding at L’Abattoir in Vancouver. With a tight budget, we initially considered doing all the decor ourselves. But the L’Abattoir team highly recommended Nicky, saying he knows the venue inside and out — and they were absolutely right.
From the moment we arrived at the venue, Nicky made us feel so taken care of. It was raining that day, and I was actually shivering when we got to the restaurant. Nicky immediately brought us warm paper towels and a clean towel. That small gesture meant so much to me — it showed not just Nicky's professionalism, but also kindness and attention to detail. I knew right away we were in good hands.
We had sent Nicky a few inspiration photos, and Nicky suggested some beautiful items from their collection that matched our vision perfectly. Nicky also helped us with the decorations we brought ourselves, like the runner and artificial flowers. Everything came together so seamlessly — and honestly, it turned out even better than we expected.
What impressed us the most was how stress-free the entire process was. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day. Nicky handled everything with such calm and care, which allowed us to just enjoy our moment.
If you're planning a minimalist wedding or simply want someone reliable and thoughtful to take care of the decor, I can't recommend Nicky enough. Reach out to them — you won’t regret it!

Jon Sent on 10/07/2025Thankful for Nicky
Nicky was our planner for our wedding at Van Dusen Gardens in June 2025 and we had an incredible day!
He was closely involved with every vendor interaction and was organized and reliable throughout the whole process. This was our first time planning a wedding, so it was incredibly helpful to have regular calls and check-ins and to navigate all the complexities of such a big event.
One pain point we ran into while interviewing wedding planners is that planners are incentivized to convince couples to spend lot on their weddings (more $$$ --> prettier event with the easiest vendors to work with for their portfolio). Every budget leads to some constraints and I appreciate that Nicky worked with our budget and helped think of creative solutions when needed.
Nicky was professional throughout the whole planning process and working with him saved us a ton of time and headache. He's an expert at his craft and I highly recommend working with him! -

We opted for the full service planning and day-of coordinator services.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicky and his team from One and Only Events. From the very first meeting to the final moments of our wedding day, they exceeded every expectation. His attention to detail, creative vision, and calming presence made the entire planning process not only stress-free but truly enjoyable. Nicky took the time to understand our style, preferences, and dreams, and then brought them to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined.
He was extremely helpful and organized during the tea ceremony and impressed all of the relatives.
On the day of the wedding, the team flawlessly coordinated everything, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment. Our guests are still raving about how perfect and beautiful everything was! If you’re looking for someone who is professional, passionate, and dedicated to making your special day magical, Nicky is the absolute best choice. We are forever grateful.
Thank you so much for making our wedding day unforgettable!
Nicky, Ann, Harrison and Cathy…thank you from the bottom of our hearts! -

Melissa Sent on 10/06/2024Best decision ever
If you have clicked on these reviews to read about Nicky to decide if he is a good fit for your planning needs, don’t hesitate a moment longer. Working with Nicky was easily the best decision I made for my wedding. Nicky provided day of coordination services, but was so much more than just day of coordination. It was like brainstorming with a best friend. He was always kind, professional, fun, and so knowledgeable. He made the most fantastic vendor recommendations, and even helped me coordinate string lights for my venue with less than 48 hours notice. He was always a voice of reason, and had the best suggestions for decor. I gave him creative reign on a couple of pieces for my ceremony and reception, and what he put together was breathtaking. He was so present and involved on the day of, even my friends and family sang his praises. I can, with confidence, say my wedding would not have been the same without him. Nicky, thank you SO much!! -

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.
