As a wedding Photographer I work with many different planners in many different circumstances. Nadine is without doubt one of my favourites to work with. She is calm, efficient and phenomenally organized. Her kindness, understanding and empathy towards her clients in every situation is so wonderful to witness. Having Nadine around on your wedding day will be one of the greatest decisions you can make.

I have been asked numerous times since the wedding if I’m relieved that it is over — no more stress. My answer is actually that I wasn’t really all that stressed. People were actually surprised at how calm I was throughout the planning process. The reason being - I had a wedding planner. One that ensured that every detail was looked after. Nadine gave me tasks to complete in small chunks and dealt with any issues that arose. The second question I get asked is ‘was it worth to have a planner/’. I say a hundred percent yes! There was an instant connection when my husband and I met Nadine, and we knew that she would be able to complete our vision. She is extremely detailed-oriented and listens to your requests. She will also help to ensure that you stay on track and on budget. She also designed custom invites for us, which were awesome. On the day of the wedding there were many bumps on the road that I had no idea about because Nadine handled them behind the scenes —One being a groomsman who was given the wrong suit. It was an absolute pleasure working with Nadine and I am glad a friendship was able to come out of this. On a side note, she is excellent with children — my son adores her. ”

“It’s amazing to look back and realize that it’s been six years since my wife and I have exchanged our vows. We give a tremendous amount of credit to Nadine for not only participating as our maid of honour, but for also doubling as a coordinator for our wedding. Her can-do attitude and meticulous attention to detail has contributed significantly to numerous aspects of our wedding including the arrangement and design of our seating plan and the packaging of our wedding favours. On the day of our wedding Nadine supported my wife by ensuring that her focus was on looking flawless for her big day and handled any matters that would interfere with that. She really helped the day run smoothly and stress free for myself, especially my wife. From making sure that the centerpieces were set perfectly, to keeping us on point with our itinerary, to directing our wedding party, to dealing with aspects of our wedding services, even lending a hand with the clean up, Nadine was a valuable asset that we were ever so grateful and honoured in having as a participant in our wedding. It is with no hesitation that we would recommend Nadine to any other couple looking for a capable coordinator to do for them what she has done for us, and more. ”

Nadine and her team just finished helping us plan and celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday. Her team was awesome, no detail left behind and the night was flawless. I would highly recommend Nadine’s team to anyone that is looking for an event planner that is on it from day one. We will definitively be using 818 Events for many years to come!!

818 Events is beyond amazing. Nadine was fantastic from start to finish. I had a nightmare wedding planner that we had to get rid of due to circumstances beyond our control and then I was referred Nadine by a family member and it was the best thing that ever happened. Things happen for a reason and she put our minds at ease and our day turned out exactly how we expected it. Nadine even helped with our design of our seating charts and ensured they were printed and brought to the hall. We were happy things didn’t work out with the other planner as the experience was so different with Nadine. Very easy to get along with, organized, on time and fulfilled her contract - and also went above and beyond. Her crew on the day of were awesome as well!!! I would recommend Nadine of 818 Events to anyone and would use her again for other events. I could go on forever but, if you use Nadine you will not regret it!

Nadine became an essential part of our destination wedding planning. She made our vision come true. She is a true master of her craft. She knew when to hold our hand and when let our decision making flourishe. We didn't just have one day to focus on, we had a week of events that Nadine made sure went flawless. Our big day was stress free due to her organization and hard work behind the scenes. Nadine exceeded our expectations so much that we recommended her to our closest friends.Thank you Nadine for helping to make our day truly special and beautiful. Cindy and Logan

When you hire Nadine, you are not just hiring another vendor for your wedding or special event. You are hiring someone who is your number one supporter throughout your planning process and on the event day, someone who does everything in her power to make magic happen for you, and someone who easily becomes your friend and part of the family. I have had the immense pleasure to work with Nadine on countless events, and her professionalism, thoughtfulness and attitude throughout the whole process is a true gift. Nadine is definitely the Mary Poppins of events. You can not go wrong with her by your side.

I'm a DJ and I have worked with Nadine several times now and it's always a pleasure and a relief knowing that someone like her as at the helm. She pays great attention to detail, knows everything that you need to know about weddings, isn't uptight and is a fun-loving person who loves her job. What more would you want in a planner? I highly recommend her if you would like someone to plan your wedding either in full or day-of. She also has a great network of vendors at her disposal and I am lucky to be a part of that network.

Nadine was the planner for my two wedding ceremonies (Hindu and Christian) and reception this September 2015. She is very competent, detailed and conscientious; even our other vendors commented that she was very professional to work with. Beyond her strong performance keeping everyone on schedule, coordinating the vendors and managing the details she was extremely supportive and hands on. She responded to every message I sent her leading up to the wedding when I was feeling stressed and arranged to meet with me to reassure me everything was on track. She jumped right in helping me dress in my Indian outfit and put on my jewelry, fixing my hair and veil before heading to the church, tidying up my house for my pictures, serving me food herself to ensure I ate, training my flower girl how to walk, having everything possible in her emergency bag, and the list goes on and on. She takes the time to truly get to know her couples and ensures that your wedding day is everything you dreamed. I was very calm at my wedding knowing Nadine could handle any situation and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.Months after our wedding Nadine encouraged us to submit our story to the magazine Wedding Trends 2016. We ended up being featured and now have a beautiful magazine spread and article as a keepsake from our wedding. Nadine does not stop working for her clients.

Nadine was an amazing resource for us when we planned our wedding. She was so good, in fact, that we enlisted her for another day's event - even though we had already hired and paid another planner. SHE IS THAT GOOD!Nadine is smart, fun to work with, and responsive. She also provided calm to us when we would have otherwise gone crazy. You won't regret working with Nadine.
