Couldn’t have done it without you!

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!

Best 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!!

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! 🙂

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: 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☺

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 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!
