Testimonials – All About You Events

Words From Our Clients!

I certainly got more than I expected from All About You! I had attended an event planned by them and was impressed and asked who they had used...which led me to a long conversation with Nicole and an offer to send in a proposal for my corporate event. After reviewing 3 proposals, my boss chose All About You based on the thoroughness of the proposal and of course, the price was right (very competitive)! We held a four day event out of state with 100 attendees and various guest speakers, dinners, team building events, etc. This entailed months of pre-work which meant a site visit to Washington, DC to preview the hotels and restaurants we'd be using and meeting with the local DMC (destination management company) to help us plan our team building events and weekly update calls with our planning committee. During the actual event, Nicole (who is extremely detail-oriented) showed up with a laminated minute by minute, play by play of each day which was awesome for all of us (not so detailed folks)! She was, no doubt about it, instrumental in the success of this event! Thankfully, we had no real snags except for one behind the scenes catering incident which she handled with her normal grace. The post conference survey yielded the same two words over and over: the event was "smooth and seamless"! Needless to say, I would definitely recommend using Nicole and All About You Events for any event!

I worked with Nicole to host our first educational conference for the MedFit Education Foundation. Not only was this our organization's first conference but it was also out of state. Nicole was awesome to work with planning every detail for our conference but for the attendees as well. She was with me every step of the way, giving me sound advice and guidance that comes from her years of wisdom of planning events. When it was time for the event, she supported me and my team the entire weekend giving our attendees a seamless experience of what was an exceptional conference which launched us doing a series. I am so grateful to have had her on our team & would recommend her highly!

Our organization hired Nicole (All About Yout Events) to help produce a Groundbreaking Ceremony for some new buildings. It's a unique type of event that takes place on a construction site, so needless to say there are a lot of unknowns and changes during planning. Nicole was absolutely great in keeping us calm and on track. She had great suggestions when we felt unsure about something. I was kept informed via email and phone about vendors, site visits, and everything that goes into a production.

I always felt I could reach out to Nicole, and when I did, she always answered. On the day of the event, she and another of her staff helped coordinate the vendors, setup and made sure our vision came to life. Nicole was a great addition to the team during the time we worked on the event. She's someone I would recommend to others looking for an event planner.

"On the wedding day… she made sure she would take care of the issues professionally as they arose without letting the bride and groom know."

“…From the beginning stages of planning all the way through our honeymoon Nicole was on top of every single aspect of our wedding every step of the way. Her professional manner with her wonderful and sweet personality made us feel so at ease knowing that she was one step ahead. As we thought what we needed to do it was done already even before we communicated with her. She made sure my wife was at ease and without a worry so she could enjoy her wedding day. We found out later there was so much she needed to take care of on the wedding day that we were not aware of and she made sure she would take care of the issues professionally as they arose without letting the bride and groom know. She managed to be in direct communication with all the vendors and following up until the wedding day and of course the day of the wedding….and even after. She’s an amazing person with a positive attitude and a genuine caring heart that she truly want’s the dream of the bride and groom to come true. In our experience she went out of her way to make it happen. For that we are always grateful and happy that we made the best decision to hire her. Yes…we highly recommend hiring Nicole for your event.”

" It was a day of pure perfection!"

“There are not enough stars for the quality of Nicole’s work! She knew what I needed even when I didn’t know I needed it! We went thru a laundry list of venues that just weren’t what we wanted or they were out of our price range. She never slowed down to find the next…she was going to keep going until we found the spot! She had the most amazing referrals for flowers, centerpieces, hair, makeup, officiant…literally loved all of them!! It was a day/evening of pure perfection! And all the other vendors who hadn’t worked with her before absolutely loved working with her! Including the resort coordinator, DJ, and photographer!”

"However, with Nicole, I had no need to worry about a thing."

Nicole is an incredible event planner!!! I’m not sure our wedding would of even happened officially if it wasn’t for her wealth of resources, flexibility, and the joy she takes in making sure your wedding is everything you’ve dreamed of and more! Due to family circumstances, my fiancé and I had to change our wedding date three times!!! Nicole was a super star making all the calls and arrangements while I was behind the scene freaking out. However, with Nicole, I had no need to worry about a thing. She seamlessly succeeded in planning and executing a magical destination dream wedding for us in Maui!!!! And with less than a month’s notice! Nicole, I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and energy you gave us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

"She was exactly who a stressed out bride wants in her corner when things go wrong"

Nicole Hickey was FANTASTIC! She was everything a bride and groom could want in a wedding planner. First, she was hands down excellent at all the nitty gritty stuff-having thorough background knowledge of everything wedding related, knowing just how to handle every one of our vendors (we had a million separate vendors) in a timely and professional manner. Second, she was exactly who a stressed out bride wants in her corner when things go wrong. She has a great personality and is the type of person one just wants to hang out with forever, she made planning my wedding go so smoothly. She was on top of everything and handled everything with grace which put me to ease. The day of the wedding her and her two helpers made everything go smoothly-I did not worry about a single thing.
Our wedding was fantastic both on an emotional level and an execution level thanks to Nicole and her helpers!

"she was at my home within 24 hours to get the planning started and executed a fabulous celebration with a tight 2.5 week timeline"

My husband asked for a last minute Friendsgiving/Birthday dinner during the pandemic and I did not even know where to begin. I was referred to Nicole Hickey and she was at my home within 24 hours to get the planning started and executed a fabulous celebration with a tight 2.5 week timeline. Her catering, decor, floral, rental and staff recommendations were fabulous! The night was true perfection and she is a true professional. I look forward to working with Nicole again in the future.

"She listened closely to our ideas, and was very detail oriented."

I hired Nicole to help plan the details for my son’s Bar Mitzvah luncheon. From the very first meeting, both my son and I found her to be just wonderful. She listened closely to our ideas, and was very detail oriented. She provided me with quotes for different services as soon as I requested them, and the vendors she suggested, and that we ended up using (videographer, photo booth, balloons, table and room decor, airbrush artist) were all fabulous, reasonably priced, and I received many, many compliments and positive comments from our guests. On the day of the event, she took care of all the decorating and details for the luncheon, so my family and I could truly enjoy the day. I was extremely satisfied with Nicole’s service, and would not hesitate to use her again for my next event!

"didn't have to worry about a single thing"

We had the pleasure of working with Nicole at All About You. She worked with my husband to plan my surprise 40th, an 80’s themed bash! Nicole was incredibly efficient, she was on top of all the details throughout the whole process. My husband didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She worked with the vendors and provided all food and decorations options for him to review and approve. She found an amazing venue at the Balboa Pavilion, overlooking the bay. She coordinated with friends and family members who were helping to get me there for the surprise. They were in regular clothes on the way, and she had all their 80s themed costumes onsite and ready to go.
