Welcome, I’m Nicola, and I’m so glad you’re here.

With over 12 years of experience, I’ve guided couples through weddings that feel intentional, beautifully designed, and calm from start to finish. Before becoming a wedding planner, I managed corporate events for a marketing firm in London, where precision, preparation, and seamless execution were essential. After moving from England to the United States in 2012, I discovered how deeply personal weddings are and how meaningful it is to create an

experience that truly reflects the couple behind it.
Since then, I’ve planned and produced over 500 weddings and events. My work has been recognized with multiple Couples’ Choice Awards from The Knot, as well as induction into The Knot Hall of Fame—honors that reflect long-standing trust and consistent excellence.

At Simply Brilliant Events, I lead with calm leadership, clarity, and intention, blending thoughtful design with flawless logistics so you can be fully present and enjoy this season, knowing every detail is handled with care.
