    Best Choice You'll Make!

    It's impossible to explain all the ways Nicole helped with my wedding, because so much of her magic happens behind the scenes while you are busy being a bride/groom. But there were so many things that I had to put out of my hands on my wedding day, just hoping they happened, and Nicole was there making sure everything went smoothly. From creating a minute-by-minute timeline of our day, coordinating with vendors, helping with rehearsal, helping with setup, cueing everyone during the ceremony, and making sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right times, I know our day was only as perfect as it was because of Nicole. She was amazing to work with, truly understands the vision you have, and gets done what needs to get done without a second thought. Without a doubt one of the best hires I made for my wedding; if I could have hired 2 or 3 more of her, I would have!!

    A beautiful mountain wedding thanks to Nicole!

    I am so grateful that my son and his fiancee found Nicole. I live in Orange County and they both work full-time so trying to coordinate a wedding that was literally held on top of a mountain was challenging to say the least! Nicole entered the picture and immediately went to work. She was organized and really assisted in keeping us focused and getting all our ducks in a row. As important as her technical skills are is her personality. She is warm, personable and patient. She was simply a delight to work with and I can not recommend her highly enough!

    Thank you so much, Lindy! 🤍 Your kind words truly mean so much to me. It was such a joy getting to know you and working alongside your family to help make Kenzie & Dylan's wedding everything they had envisioned. From our first conversations to watching the day come together on the mountaintop, I loved being part of such a special celebration. Thank you for your trust, your encouragement, and for taking the time to share your experience. Wishing Kenzie & Dylan a lifetime of love and happiness, and sending my gratitude to your entire family!

    Former Bride

    Nicole was a life saver for our wedding. She is kind, passionate, and organized. You can tell she actually enjoys her work! She made our wedding day run perfectly and we didn’t have to think about anything, anytime I needed something I just glanced at her and she took care of it. I would use her services a thousand times over and recommend her to anyone for the wedding day! Thank you Nicole!

    Professional, Organized, and a Joy to Work With

    I had the pleasure of working with Nicole in a professional capacity as the content creator for both her bridal shower and wedding day, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Even while being the bride, Nicole approached every interaction with professionalism, clarity, and genuine kindness. All qualities that speak volumes about how she would serve her clients. As a wedding planner herself who planned her own wedding, she was incredibly organized, communicative, and respectful of myself and all of the vendor teams, which allowed the day to run smoothly and seamlessly. She trusted the creative process, valued collaboration, and created such a positive environment to work in, something I really appreciated. Having now worked with Nicole on multiple occasions, I can confidently say she brings the same level of care, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness to her business, By Grace Wedding Co., as she did to her own events. Any couple looking for a planner who is both experienced and deeply invested in their day would be in amazing hands with her.

I officially launched By Grace Wedding Co. in 2025, but my experience goes back several years. I’ve been deeply involved in planning multiple weddings prior to launching my business, including my own wedding, which I planned in just four months. I specialize in thoughtfully organized, detail-driven weddings that feel personal, seamless, and meaningful. My focus is on creating a calm planning experience while bringing each couple’s vision to life.
I’m the owner and lead planner of By Grace Wedding Co., so you’ll be working directly with me throughout the entire planning process. I intentionally keep my business personal so couples feel fully supported and confident knowing exactly who is handling their wedding. If additional support is needed on the wedding day, I bring in trusted assistants to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Yes! In addition to wedding day planning, I’m happy to assist with events such as engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and welcome events. These can be added on depending on your planning package and needs. My goal is to make the entire wedding season feel cohesive, organized, and stress-free.
The amount of time we spend together depends on the level of planning support you choose. I’m always intentional about communication and provide guidance, check-ins, and support at each stage of planning. My goal is to be available when you need me while keeping the process efficient, organized, and enjoyable.
No — I intentionally limit the number of weddings I take on so each couple receives my full attention and care. I only commit to one wedding per day, ensuring I’m fully present, focused, and available to support you and your vendors from start to finish.
