Nicole, Colleen, and the rest of the Urban Allure team did all of the florals for our wedding and it completely exceeded all of my expectations. Nicole worked with me over several meetings to help me bring my vision to life. She had amazing creative ideas that I would have never thought of on my own and really understood what we were going for. They hung florals, disco balls, and even chandeliers over our dance floor, creating the most stunning environment. Colleen, who handled a lot of the floral sourcing, even included some beautiful blooms from her personal garden in our arrangements. It was such a special touch. Choosing Urban Allure was one of the BEST vendor decisions I could have made and I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

I agreed to work with Nicole on 2/23/24 and paid her $2,000 based on her assurance that there would be no issue securing sponsors and selling tickets. However, after more than four months had passed, there were no sponsorships or tickets sold and for that reason, I had to cancel the event, which was only two and a half months away. Here were two assurances in her contract: Create impactful promotional content Assist in sponsorship level creations & materials While I can't prove if the promotional content was impactful, it certainly didn't appear so given there were no sponsorships or tickets sold. And while she did create sponsorship materials, they clearly weren't helpful either in terms of selling tickets or securing sponsors. She also said that she had previously hosted a fundraiser for the charity I was looking to raise money for, so I believed her claim that she could secure sponsors and sell tickets without a problem. When I asked why there were no sponsorships or tickets sold upon cancelling the event, she said the market was unusually bad. If that was the case, I don't see how she couldn't have known this information merely four months earlier when we agreed to work together. Is it reasonable to think that the market changed so drastically so quickly? And why didn't she tell me the market was bad sooner before she started spending more time? She could have offered me the option of requesting a refund and suggested I cancel the event some time sooner. I should also note she did not create promotional materials until 4/5/24 and did not share a task list until 4/6/24. I then waited until 5/11/24 and saw that she hadn't contacted anyone on the list yet, so I sent over 100 e-mails over the next week, but hardly received any interest. The event was scheduled for 9/16/24, and since we didn't have any sponsorships or tickets sold, I decided to cancel the event on 6/27/24. I know people don't always buy tickets early, but the fact that not a single ticket was sold made no sense. At the very least, given that she materially misrepresented what she could offer, I would think Nicole would have offered a full or partial refund or at least a credit if I agreed to work with her again, but she made no such offer. I initially communicated all of this information through the Better Business Bureau, who reached out to Nicole multiples times, but Nicole did not respond to any of their requests. If she did, then I wouldn't have written this review. read more

Having a wedding planner is the absolute best decision you can make for your wedding day, but an even better decision is hiring Urban Allure Events as your planning team. We had the incredible pleasure of having Nicole, the owner be our lead planner for the day of our wedding. She is proactive, responsive and a masterful timeline creator. Our wedding day was flawless in large part because of Nicole. Whenever she had even a whiff of something going sideways, she had almost a sixth sense to get in front of it and fix it without me ever having to worry about it. Details I thought I had nailed, she thought of and made it even better than I dreamed. From our first call with Nicole she asked what we were worried/stressed about and as a marketer who's planned and hosted many events I told her my only worry was being wrapped up in making sure everyone else had a good time and that I wouldn't focus on myself having a good one. She took that to heart and made sure literally the only thing I thought about was being present with my new husband, family and friends the entire day. People kept asking me "how are you so calm?" and my answer was "I don't have to worry about anything, I have Nicole and the Urban Allure team." Book them now and watch your wedding of your dreams come to life! read more

I cannot recommend Urban Allure highly enough! Gina and Issabelle took the reins of coordinating all the details during the last couple of months prior to my wedding. The day of the wedding, with only a few hours remaining before the ceremony, our florist (paid in full and confirmed) was a total no-show. I am overwhelmed with the depth of generosity, camaraderie and professionalism with which Gina, Issabelle, and the rest of our vendor team handled the situation. They located a replacement florist, and it was all hands on deck to get everything set up in time. Gina and Issabelle stepped up to a massive challenge in an impossible time crunch, moved mountains and made floral magic happen. Guests who heard what had happened were absolutely shocked and said they would never have known because everything they saw was so incredibly beautiful. Absolutely stunning. And I could not agree more. One friend asked me, why did they even bother to tell you? You never would have known the difference! And I told them I was thrilled that they told us. Because it is so amazing that the Urban Allure team worked together with the rest of our vendors to save the day. The day was already perfection, and this extra show of love - because that's what this act was; it went above and beyond simply paying for a service and having a company fulfill the terms of a contract - made it all the more special. read more

My husband and I got married March 31, 2018 at Ovation in Chicago, and Nicole was beyond instrumental in making our day perfect and incredibly special. We were incredibly glad that we decided to work with Nicole after a wonderful recommendation given to us by Tricia Clarke, who amazingly transformed my makeup/hair for the day. When I spoke with Nicole for the first time, I knew right away that she was kind, friendly, super knowledgeable, professional, crazy organized, and so down to earth and sweet. After that conversation, it was obvious that we should work with her for our day-of wedding coordination And we're so glad that we did! Our wedding day was flawless and came together so well. We couldn't be more grateful to her for executing our wedding day vision perfectly! And to her husband, who was a magician in hanging our copper piping ceremony backdrop. :) Also hugely important, Nicole eliminated any and all stressors for us and went above and beyond in ensuring we were happy with every single details about decor, logistics, etc. This meant that we could relax the week/day of our wedding and not have to worry about anything! That. Was. The. Best. Bottom line: we LOVED working with Nicole, and would recommend working with her and her team to anyone and everyone! read more

This has definitely taken a year for me to process but I think it's important to write because I still don't understand why we didn't vibe. May 27, 2018 My partner and I had our wedding in Room 1520. We were told we can arrive early get ready in bridal suite and if the bridal suite was messy we'd lose or deposit to have it cleaned which i was 100% ok with. two woman wedding 20+ girls it was going to be chaotic. the reason i had a day of planner was because i did not want to manage the vendors coming in as they were associates of mine. i did find myself being called out by vendors and having to do discuss things with them because they were not able to locate who was in charge. I'd send my bridesmaids to find someone and we'd have an assistant saying they were going to handle it but no one would give us a proper "it's been taken care of". As we were getting ready tours were being had of the venue which may be common but so awkward as i felt on display or having to come out the bridal suite to look for the planner or assistant. When my partner arrived she stood on the roof for almost 20 minutes awaiting our first look and i could not figure out how to get to the roof. Finally i tried going up through the bridal suite when the planner found me and seemed annoyed and said wrong way. where i explained its 94 degrees and she's been waiting 20 minutes. as my photographer said it was getting really hot up there. We did our first look and were on our way to trolley for photos where i felt the need to verify the charcuterie boards were being picked up...the assistant told me the vendor misplaced my credit card and they would cover the costs and i would give them money which was no problem but also stressed me out. when we arrived back everyone was hot and exhausted from 94 degrees in the sun and photos where i myself walked to the bar and asked if there was anyway we can be provided with ice and cups for the water we brought in. Finally ceremony happened cocktail our then dinner...I was grateful for our caterer who came to our table a few times to make sure we had beverages and weren't thirsty or needed anything. when dessert were ready we asked if the cake can be cut as it was creme brûlée and couldn't sit out long....we also had so many people in and out of bridal suite and i felt like i had to text her to see if things were getting done. I guess I honestly did not feel like a priority. I was embarrassed by having to have my bridesmaids find out what was happening literally the whole event. Communication via email was horrible. I would wait days for a response if I received them with out having to text you. Even when you explained they were going to your "junk" mail. bizarre. it does seem like nicole is a great planner which is why we hired her but a year later it still annoyed me and ultimately when i emailed her with how i felt after the fact i felt like i was the problem even though she did apologize.... i honestly think we just didn't connect or vibe. either way I wish you well on future events. read more

We got married in Feb 2018 at Room1520 and used Nicole as our DOC. Cannot say enough great things, and if she charged twice as much she would be amazing value. Nicole is extremely familiar with Room1520, so she had a lot of great insights on room layout, table setup, vendors, etc. She has also worked a lot of weddings so just generally helped us along the way with many details on timeline and décor. Leading up to the wedding Nicole coordinated all of our vendors and helped organize all other key details of the wedding. Most importantly, on the actual day of the wedding, we did not worry about a thing. We drank, mingled and danced all night, and that freedom on your wedding day is priceless. It snowed on the actual wedding day and Nicole stood outside with us to assist with awesome winter pictures. When the bride's dress got muddy before the ceremony, Nicole herself colored the dirty areas with white chalk. She was the first one there and last one to leave on the wedding day. These are just a few examples of the many times Nicole went above and beyond while working with us. Looking back, we highly recommend that all couples consider using a DOC, and Nicole executed better than we ever could have expected! Thanks Nicole! read more

I worked with Nicole at Urban Allure events this past September and I was honestly incredibly impressed by the way she runs her events. I'm an event photographer so the planner can make or break how a wedding day will go as far as we are concerned. Nicole had a flawless timeline and took my input as far as how much time I needed for portraits and travel time and accounted for every little thing on the wedding day that made everything run smoothly. She also has a very calming demeanor instead of the crazy frantic energy that some planners in the city have, and it made working with her such a pleasure. The couple we were working with that day also had an amazing time with her and seeing how happy they were because they didn't have to worry about a thing made all the difference. I look forward to working with her again! If you want a planner who is crazy organized, has an eye for style and detail, but is also a really awesome human being, hire this girl. She's the best of the best. read more

My daughter was recently married at Rockefeller Chapel. She felt very strongly about needing a planner. She is a very organized person. I wasn't sure about it, as her father and I got married in 1988 without a planner. So, let me just say: CONLEY did an amazing job- from the rehearsal( which she ran), to the morning of wedding craziness with a bridal party of 15 all the way through the wedding reception. THANK YOU, CONLEY : YOU ARE THE BEST! She is a very organized, polite, effective professional that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. CONLEY read more

We cannot say enough good things about Nicole and Urban Allure Events! We hired Nicole to be our DOC for our September wedding after she was recommended by a friend of mine. From the moment we connected, it was clear that Nicole was very organized, experienced and someone who we could trust to make sure our big day went perfectly. Even though we technically only hired Nicole for the day of our wedding, the support, recommendations and experience she shared in the weeks and months leading up to our wedding day were invaluable! Every time my husband and I were feeling overwhelmed by the number of details we needed to attend to, Nicole was there via text, phone or email to calm our worries and assure us that everything would get done. The day of our wedding, Nicole made sure everything went smoothly despite the fact that I was running behind schedule and the air conditioning at our venue was not working at full capacity (on a 90 degree day)! The day was everything we could have hoped for and so much more, thanks to Nicole. We cannot recommend Urban Allure Events highly enough! They are worth every penny! read more

We were married in Ireland this past fall, and we had a post-wedding celebration in Chicago. We met Nicole purely by chance when we visited Room 1520 on our quest for the perfect venue for our post-wedding celebration. We had a wonderful conversation and she invited me to reach out to her with any questions as we made our venue choice. She talked me through our venue decision and gave us some helpful tips even before we hired her, and by then, I was hooked. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of DIY, but did not think a planner was within our budget. Turns out, I was wrong, and Nicole was worth every penny and more. Having a stress-free celebration was very important to us, and without Nicole, this would not have been possible. She guided us to quality vendors throughout the planning process, and we ended up with the best of the best without having to research the thousands of caterers, florists, and DJs, available in Chicago. Nicole is such a calming presence, and eased my anxiety many times throughout the planning process. The best example of this would be our invitation crisis. We ordered from an online source and had an absolutely terrible experience. The vendor did not take steps to correct the problem in time for us to get our invites mailed. Nicole quickly stepped in and provided us with an alternative that allowed us to get our invites out on time. Her actions were truly above and beyond. Most importantly, our celebration...wow...just wow. It was beyond perfect. The venue looked gorgeous, the evening flowed perfectly, we did not want it to end! It was better than my vision, and I know this would not have been possible without Nicole. She is an ideal event planner, and we highly recommend her! read more

Nicole is INCREDIBLE! I can without a doubt say that Urban Allure Events was the most important vendor at our out-of-state wedding and played an instrumental role in our wedding weekend being perfect. I was a SUPER indecisive bride with a lot of life stressors in advance of our wedding, Nicole eased all of my concerns, answered all of our questions (on top of things we never would have thought of!) and helped us immensely through the entire planning process. As wonderful as Nicole was throughout our planning process, the coordination and organization of the UAEvents team the weekend of our wedding completely blew us away. We had a welcome party at a remote location and Nicole and Brittany set up the room for us, filled our welcome bags, and ensured that we were completely stress free for the entirety of the party. The wedding day also could not have gone more perfectly, at least from our perspective! Nicole, Brittany, and Jenny were SO organized and prepared for anything--it was amazing! They were there from the very beginning of the day to the very last minute and managed the vendor arrivals and payments, ensured our shuttles with guests made it from one incredibly rural location to another, managed guest/vendor needs, and so much more totally calmly and discretely. Communication by the UAE team was also impeccable. We were unable to have a rehearsal at our venue and they ensured our vendors, bridal party, and families knew where to be and that we all remained on schedule for the entirety of the day. From steaming dresses and decorating the venue, to the complete teardown of the venue and saving us desserts/appetizers we otherwise wouldn't have been able to enjoy, the UAE team went above and beyond. I could not believe how calm I was the day of our wedding and that is 100% due to Nicole, Brittany, and Jenny's efforts, friendliness, and organization! Bottom line: you at the very least NEED a day-of-coordinator and you cannot do any better than Urban Allure Events. read more

Nicole and the entire crew are so on top of things! When we know that we are doing a wedding with them, it's always going to go smoothly ! 5 stars to making a big event so easy and fun! read more

Nicole is a phenomenal planner! She's organized, dedicated and a genuinely nice person. Her timelines are very detailed and she is very accessible. These are important factors when hiring a planner. read more

I wasn't sure if I was going to post a review but after seeing Cristina's review I had to. When I first talked to Nicole from Urban Allure it was through an email and it was fine but our first meeting not so great.. We had a walk thru at our venue Room 1520, I arrived maybe 10 min late because we were standing at the front door not knowing that we should go to the side door. When we met it was very informal and Nicole was not the nicest, (not one smile until the end, she was very to the point and closed off). Which I am really confused about because all her reviews talk about how nice she is... I don't want to be mean but this is your wedding day and you want people to be happy around you. Luckily I had my caterer there Lauren from Sweet Baby Ray she was GREAT, she was so on top of things and followed up so well. As for Urban Allure, I didn't hear from them until months later. I only booked Urban Allure because they came as part of the package for Room 1520. I had the day of coordinator, it states that the coordinator should follow up with you 2 MONTHS before your wedding. I was emailing and finally got a reply from my email asking for a call to check in maybe a WEEK before my wedding. I was then put with another girl who was nice and even let me drop off items with her prior to the wedding. That was the only good thing I got out of Urban Allure. My wedding was great thankfully, I put together a PowerPoint on how everything should be set up. They did set up everything great, but I had so many complaints from guests. They kept telling me that every time they asked Nicole a question she said I don't know or NO I don't have it. Then the worst part and the reason my family was so upset is because they tried to send the groomsmen down the aisle without the bridesmaids. Everyone in my wedding party said they were rushing them out and luckily my sister stopped them from doing that. My wedding was on September 1st and every time I see my family members they tell me how great my wedding was and how rude and unorganized the coordinators were. So - if you are looking for a day of coordinator I would definitely look somewhere else. My guess is that they pay more attention to those who pay for the larger packages. read more

As an officiant, I have worked with Urban Allure at a number of events. Their professionalism, organization, management and taste is second to none. They are always a joy to work with, and as a vendor, it is an ultimate sigh of relief when I know they're at the helm! read more

I really cannot say enough good things about Nicole and Urban Allure Events! We had been working closely with Celeste at Room 1520 for our wedding and I had asked her for recommendations for Day of Coordinators early in our planning process. After doing some research, I hesitated booking anybody because I wanted to make sure they were really going to be worth while. After a couple of months passed Celeste reached back out to us and told us she had joined forces with an Events Coordinator who only works with clients of Room 1520. I cannot begin to tell you how glad we are we hesitated before Nicole was brought on! Not only was she very familiar with most of our vendors, she knew the venue like the back of her hand and was able to accomplish any silly request we had. She was so helpful with problem solving, helping to find a limo company, and especially putting everything together day of. My mom, fiance and I showed up a few days before the wedding with a truck load of decor items and not a whole lot of directing and Nicole nailed it!! It was amazing seeing all of our hard work come together and look even more beautiful than we ever imagined. Thank you, Nicole, for making our dreams a reality and giving us the most beautiful and stress free day! read more

See all

I got married this past weekend and could not have had a "perfect" wedding without Nicole. The guests gave great feedback from the arrangement of the centerpieces to the decor setup to the overall ceremony and reception. Nicole was very attentive to my needs, especially on the big day, getting me water and cake, dealing with guests so that my husband and I could enjoy the moment, and calming my nerves. Prior to the wedding, she was also a big help in communicating with our vendors, mapping out our seating chart, drafting a detailed and complete reception timeline, and delivering welcome bags to our out-of-town guests. It's a plus that she is familiar with and works closely with Room 1520. In all honesty, there is NO way we could've made this wedding what it was without her help. We had initially intended on going without a day-of-coordinator, but we're so glad we did not. We highly recommend hiring Nicole for your big day! read more

If you're looking for a planner, Nicole is amazing! She takes time, is very friendly and knowledgeable. A planner is so important to help bring your day together and stay together. Her style and creative design are stunning! read more

Nicole is a life-saver. We got married a few weeks ago and she came in at the last minute, but without her our wedding would have probably been a total nightmare. She helped to coordinate delivery schedules, talked to vendors, helped us plan our day, made sure that everything looked right on the day of and a million other little things that made our wedding day flawless. We originally weren't going to have a day of coordinator as we were trying to DIY the whole thing ourselves. But two weeks leading up to the wedding we had realized that we were a bit in over our heads. I can't say enough good things about how Nicole came in and took charge, was extremely friendly and calm (which is super important when you have frazzled moms and a bride running around) and made sure everything went off without a hitch. She was like a ninja behind the scenes just taking care of everything like a complete pro. Don't be like my wife and I and try to DIY everything yourselves. A wedding is a big thing to plan and having someone like Nicole in your corner is indispensible. She allowed us to enjoy and soak in our big day which is something you can't put a price tag on. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Nicole is one of the sweetest kindest people you will ever meet. She would go to the ends of the earth to make your dreams a reality. Working with her has been such a joy and she presents nothing less than extraordinary 100% of the time. Every event she plans is bound to be a success and one talked about for ages! Thank you Nicole for being so selfless and a beautiful person in and out you're truly an amazing person and event planner. She responds to all of my inquiries and messages quickly and will never let you down. She's well versed in all areas of wedding planning and doesn't leave any details untouched. I couldn't plan my wedding without you! read more

I recently had the privilege to work with Nicole and her team. Any question I had, they had an answer for and were willing to go above and beyond to help! A perfect example is: I had my wisdom teeth pulled on the day before the event. I couldn't eat anything from the buffet line, so Nicole ordered mashed potatoes for me so I had something to eat. She didn't have to do that, and in fact, many planners would not even give a second thought to my needs. I strongly recommend working with Nicole and her team for any event you may have in mind. They are able to handle all events and create a "Night to Remember." They are the REAL DEAL!!! read more

We can't thank Nicole enough for helping us put together an incredible wedding for us and our guests. Weeks later we are still getting compliments on our wedding. Nicole has always been super responsive, and available to meet or answer questions. Her laid back demeanor was a relief during what felt like stressful planning. She was extremely organized, and put together timelines and floor designs exactly the way we asked. The day of, she and her assistant Anney took charge and let us know we had nothing to worry about, and they were right. They put everything together, and it seemed like they didn't even break a sweat. I'd recommend them to anyone planning not just a wedding, but any event. This was the easiest review I've ever written. read more

hi I own a venue and have been managing the space for nearly 30 years.As you can imagine I have seen quite a wide angle view of just what it is to plan and execute a wedding,or any other event.The only reason that I mention that is because I have seen the front end and back side of events for a very long time.I always think that I have seen everything but it seems that is not true. I felt compelled to write a review regarding Nicole and her employees.Mainly because of all the really bad choices that I have seen brides make in regard to choosing a planner Nicole is a consummate professional in every detail.I would hope that any bride must come to understand that each vendor is an important choice as well because they will affect all the other people servicing the event,Nicole has time and time again set forth on each wedding that she has been here for a clear path for all components to work together and in a very seamless way.I would be thrilled to have Nicole here anytime. read more

If we could give Nicole Fauls 100 stars, we would! Hiring Nicole as our day of coordinator was the best decision we ever made for our wedding. In everything she did, she went above and beyond all our expectations. She coordinated with our vendors, arranged all logistics, and handled the million things you would never think about on the wedding day. We were able to enjoy our day to the fullest because she so successfully took all the stress out of it. She is incredibly organized and patient, and because of her we had confidence everything would go smoothly. We cannot recommend Nicole enough. She was great to work with and helped us in so many ways throughout the process. Do yourself a favor and hire her so you can relax on your day! read more

Nicole is such a thoughtful and organized planner. I've worked with her and her team on a few events both as a vendor and attendee. If you're looking for individual attention and a hands on experience, definitely recommend Urban Allure! read more

I can't say enough about Nicole at Urban Allure Events. She helped make my day absolutely perfect. Nicole and I started working together about a year ago as I was still shopping around for my vendors. In that year, Nicole and I kept in close contact as we started to solidify the plans. As we got closer to the date, Nicole would join me in all of my final meetings to make sure she had all the details for the day. We worked together on a timeline and then I let her take the lead. I've never felt as calm as I did on my wedding day. Every single one of my bridesmaids commented on how I was the calmest bride they'd even seen. The only reason I was calm is because I had Nicole. I knew I could trust her to make sure everything was perfect, and it was. To me, she was so much more than I expected out of a day-of coordinator and I highly recommend her! Thanks Nicole! read more

My wife and I got married in April at Room 1520 with Nicole as our day-of coordinator. Don't let the title fool you. She did SO much for us in the months leading up to the wedding, as well as the day of. We were the type to think we could take care of everything and it would all fall into place. We were very wrong and it wasn't until we hired Nicole that we realized how badly we needed her! She liaised with all the vendors, helped us with our timeline, helped set up and make our simple ideas look great, and pretty much took all of the stress out of planning. A little bonus: A bridesmaid spilled a dark drink on my dress literally 3 hours before the ceremony was supposed to start. We texted Nicole, who had us return to the venue, took a case of club soda, and along with our bridesmaids, fixed the dress. There was no visible reminder of this, however it would have been disastrous without her help. Definition of above and beyond. read more

In December of 2018 we connected with Nicole from Urban Allure Events to see if she would be the right fit for our client who needed a day of assistant. We strongly recommended that she invest in at least a day of coordinator. Our client sat down with Nicole and really had a great report. Our client hired Urban Allure Events for their wedding at Bridgeport Art Center and had a truly great experience. Fast forward 7 months later, we all still connect regularly and realize we will know each other for a lifetime. I will continue to recommend and refer Urban Allure Events and trust my clients in their hands. read more

If you're on the fence about having a day-of coordinator for your wedding, do yourself a favor and hire Urban Allure Events. We found them through our venue and are so happy that we did! We worked with Brittany for our wedding and couldn't recommend her more. She has this calm energy about her that puts you at ease if you're feeling overwhelmed. Brittany reached out about a month and a half before our wedding (when things get the most hectic) and helped us finalize details and craft a day of timeline. She ran our rehearsal the day before and made everything so simple the day of. I had nothing to do but enjoy the day and honestly, what more can you ask for on your wedding day? Thank you Brittany and Urban Allure Events for all your help. You made our day amazing! read more

Nicole and the Urban Allure team are simply amazing. We live in San Jose, CA so we were planning our Chicago wedding at a distance and Nicole was there every step of the way helping us stay on track, reaching out to vendors on our behalf, and following up to make sure everything was thought of and taken care of. In the weeks leading up to our wedding day, Nicole seemed to be everywhere at once: making sure our vision was carried out to the tiniest details, making sure the DJ had our latest list of songs, making sure the donut shop was on the same page as our caterer. And then, on the day of, Nicole and her team really threw it into high gear. Every single detail was covered -- before we could even ask about something, Nicole had the answer. She took care of everything and our day was basically stress free. The whole Urban Allure team is simply top notch and we cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're getting married or planning any major life event you simply have to figure out how to work with them. They will make the planning simple, enjoyable, and stress free. And you'll have so much fun working with them, too! read more

If you are planning your wedding, you need to hire Nicole at Urban Allure Events. My fiancé and I were married in Chicago this past July 2018 and hired Nicole early in the process. Not only was she remarkably well-connected with the Chicago wedding scene (she ultimately recommended our venue, makeup artist, and photographer), but she took the time to get to know my fiancé and me, and understand our likes and dislikes. In the month leading up to the wedding, Nicole was a godsend. She streamlined much of the communication between our various vendors and created a master schedule for the entire wedding weekend--encompassing everything from the rehearsal dinner to the day-after breakfast. And during the hectic week of the wedding, Nicole kept our schedules free. She worked in the background to ensure that we could just enjoy the week and spend time with our family and friends. Nicole not only filtered out the unnecessary minutia of the pre-wedding craziness (from coordinating vendor needs to handling the placement of the centerpieces, decorations, and signage) but anticipated details that we had never even considered (like vendor meals and parking). I witnessed Nicole handle a tremendous amount of the work, and I am convinced that is only the tip of the iceberg. So much of her work and organizational genius occurs without anyone noticing. By the time of our wedding, she was the ringleader. She anticipated our needs before we had even realized they were required and was always ready with a drink or plate of food. While we were eating, she was getting ready for the speeches, and while we were dancing, she was already getting ready for the teardown. Most importantly, she tackled our event with grace, patience, and empathy. Hire Nicole; you will not regret it. read more

Nicole is the best! We worked with her as our day-of coordinator, and could not have been happier.

By far one for the easiest and most professional wedding planning service out there. Nicole is phenomenal and has a great team backing her. Would highly recommend for newlyweds. read more

We cannot say enough good things about Nicole. From the beginning she was calm, organized and incredibly responsive. Prior to hiring Nicole I was on the fence about if I really needed a coordinator for the week of our wedding. Reflecting back, I don't know now how I would have done it without her. She completely takes any stress away, and is instrumental to making sure all of the details you put effort into are executed perfectly. I highly recommend Nicole and her team, and am certain our paths will cross again in the future! read more

Nicole was really great to work with for our wedding in May 2017. The ceremony and reception were both held at Room 1520 and Nicole made the day so easy. She was very responsive in the weeks leading up to the wedding and super helpful answering all my random questions. The day of the wedding she made everything run smoothly and coordinated everything with all the vendors perfectly. Highly recommend working with Nicole to ease all the wedding day stress!! read more

Where do I even begin? If you are unsure if a day of coordinator is worth it or necessary--believe me they are worth it! Nicole and Angie from Urban Allure were complete professionals and made sure our two day affair was seamless. I was skeptical at the beginning, but learning that they had worked with our venue and florist plus knew our photograph gave me a sense of ease. Day of coordinator doesn't mean one day of work--Nicole made herself available from day one by sharing vendors with me early in the planning and contacted me 2 months before the big day to finalize everything. The month before your wedding is so crazy, it was a huge relief that we had Urban Allure to create a detailed timeline and contact all our vendors to communicate/confirm set up/arrivals. Honestly I am probably not doing them justice, because there was a lot behind the scenes of work they did that I didn't have to worry about. At dinner the groom and I had a moment to soak in the day, and we both were extremely thankful for our dream team of vendors. However all the coordination and carrying out our wedding vision wouldn't have been possible without Nicole and Angie in charge. So if you are on the fence, hire Urban Allure you will be in great hands and be able to actually enjoy your wedding day! read more

Nicole from Urban Allure Events in AMAZING! I wasn't sure the first thing to do when planning our wedding and hiring Nicole was the best thing I could do! Nicole and her team were so friendly, organized and comforting. They went above and beyond with every detail of the wedding! Nicole was my day of coordinator but really helped me throughout the whole planning process. She comforted me at every walk through, helped me determine seating and meal choices and was there for everything on the day of as well as the rehearsal dinner! Lastly, we had major issues with our transportation to and from the wedding, Nicole worked for months after our wedding to get our money back for all of the issues we experienced. If you are thinking about hiring a coordinator, I would highly suggest Nicole and team! Thank you all for everything you did to help myself and Brian have the most perfect New Years Eve wedding!!! read more

I got married on 8/6/16 at Room1520. A beautiful venue made for an unbelievable wedding, and partnering with Nicole gave me and my breathtakingly beautiful wife the peace of mind that everything would be taken care of. We partnered with Nicole early on, and cannot say enough how awesome she was. She understood what we were going for, had answers to every single question that came up (no matter how ridiculous mine were...) and most importantly was our point person the weekend of the wedding, allowing my wife to focus on family drama, not wedding drama (kidding, but seriously... Why so much family drama around weddings?!?). Nicole accepted deliveries on our behalf, oversaw all vendors the day of, coordinated our rehearsal, made us laugh uncontrollably multiple times, and looked out for me and my wife the night of the wedding to make sure we ate and had enough booze in our systems. She brought us our own tray of apps and drinks during cocktail hour!! Nicole is awesome, knowledgeable, fun, and can lay the hammer (without you even knowing) when vendors try to deviate from the plan. I don't anticipate getting married again, so unfortunately the chances of working with Nicole are pretty slim, BUT would tell every single person I meet to bring her on board if they want a wedding executed to pure perfection. Thanks Nicole, we love you and can't thank you enough for an incredible day! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Nicole and Urban Allure Events! I had no idea how stressful wedding planning was, but Nicole and her team kept me calm/sane through the entire process. Nicole is one of a kind. Her attentiveness and eye for detail is unreal! She went above and beyond what any "wedding planner" would do: she picked up the bouquets, she picked up the cake, and even directed our family photos session to keep us on time. The night before our wedding, Nicole made sure that my husband and I had nothing to worry about - even offering to run our last-minute errands. If our wedding day had a few bumps, I couldn't tell you because Nicole took care of everything. It was seamless, and my husband and I know that we owe that to Nicole. She truly allowed us to enjoy every minute of our day. To all of those brides teetering between hiring a planner or not, DO IT! And make sure it's Urban Allure Events! read more
