ABOUT STORYBOOK

CRAFTING UNFORGETTABLE, DESIGN-CENTRIC WEDDINGS

Welcome! I'm NICOLE and I lOVE PLANNING TIMELESS WEDDINGS FOR COUPlES THAT CARE ABOUT THE DETAILS.




ABOUT

We set the standard for all other wedding planning firms

At Storybook, we offer our couples an intentionally-paced wedding planning process which provides time for creativity, planning sessions and deep conversation over crisp champagne, and space to focus on all the intricate details that formulate the wedding day you've been envisioning.

Counter to other planning firms whom focus on filling calendars and relying on constant new business to provide for large teams, I do the opposite. 

I depend on the meticulousness of my planning process to ensure a smooth, well designed and logistically structured event for each of my couples and because of these standards, I take up to a maximum of 4 couples per year.  

Our process is strategically coordinated and no detail goes overlooked.

Nicole is the Storybook founder and the woman able to foresee challenges and strategically solve any hiccups in planning. She has planned hundreds of weddings and knows how to move people through the flow of the evening with ease and grace. 

Living between Austin and Chicago, Nicole loves the diversity of her weddings and values developing strong relationships with her couples. Many have become lifelong friends.

Nicole found a passion for making her couple's wedding visions come to life and has developed Storybook’s in-depth experience for the (maximum of four) couples that she works with per year.

Whether you want a gentle, calming wedding planner or want to go cheers over beers, Nicole can flex to match the planning energy you need. With her, nothing is impossible.

Nicole is a mom to two sweet boys, and is grateful each and every day for her husband who has supported her business journey over the past eight years. In her free time, you can find Nicole designing and DIY'ing house projects or inviting close friends over for her epic cheese and wine pairings.

a few more things you should know: 

From the very beginning of our time together each moment is personalized and nuances noted.

No detail is overlooked. Down to the decorative icecubes during cocktail hour.

We take details seriously

When I say your wedding is uniquely yours,
I mean it. 

Sketching and translating your vision to a more comprehensible visual for our vendors is a key part of our design process.

If we can't find an example, I create it for you.

Whether its a non alcoholic spritzer or popping bottles over oysters, I prefer to make wedding planning an experience.

OUR SERVICES

LOVE IS LOVE

Here at Storybook Weddings and Events we honor and cherish the uniqueness of each and every one of our couples. 

We love celebrating our couples and do not host any space for hate or judgement. 

In addition, we hold each of our vendors accountable to the same values and only work with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly vendors.

I believe

Your Engagement should be just as memorable as your wedding day.

 I believe

Your path to the altar is longer than your walk down the aisle. Together we will ensure a smooth and enjoyable planning process that ends with an unforgettable party.
