Kind Words

When our venue required us to book a day of coordinator, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Upon my first call with Nicole, I knew she was the one. From then on, it was pure magic. Nicole was always available for urgent items, a quick check in, or even just a dose of moral support. She found solutions to countless problems and did so with patience and ease. Leading up to the wedding it was a pleasure partnering with Nicole - I didn’t think it could get any better. Plot twist, it did! Nicole made the wedding of our dreams come to fruition in the most seamless and expertly organized way. I could not recommend Nicole enough. She goes above and beyond.

If you are lucky enough to have the chance to work with Nicole as your wedding planner, do it! Could not recommend her enough. Not only did she bring my vision to life - she made our wedding day beautiful, seamless, and so much fun. I will truly miss working with her! She has the kindest heart, and such a positive energy. She is incredibly talented - she has a subtle way of being your fearless leader, but also being your teammate throughout the process.

Nicole worked behind the scenes coordinating every single detail with our venue and vendors while and eased my worries that I was forgetting something every step of the way. Planning a destination wedding is not easy but she perfected every detail. I promise, you will LOVE her as much as we did!

When we began, xxx, planning our wedding almost three years ago, Wedding Connections quickly impressed us as the wedding planning service of choice. We worked with the original owner, Sara Field-Bridges, and the new owner, Nicole Luka, to get us to the big day. Both Nicole and Sara were very responsive (which I cannot stress enough how amazing this was), extremely well organized, and clear subject matter experts in their field. Their large network of wedding vendors ensured we had the best that was to offer in Asheville. They were also extremely helpful in navigating us through delays because of the pandemic and were with us every step of the way. Through their guidance, we had a wedding that our attendees say was “the best wedding” they’ve ever been to Nicole loves what she does, and the results speak clearly to that. Our wedding day was a work of art, with so many moving parts, all of them expertly managed by Nicole. The best is that through the planning, the delays, and everything else, we gained some amazing friends.

Our wedding day was by the far the most special day of our lives! Nicole and her team at Wedding Connections literally made our dreams come true. From start to finish I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. The details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. Nicole truly has a gift and those who experience her become richer because of it.

Terrific wedding planner! Nicole Luka was my "day of" planner for my daughter's wedding, but she was really far more than this, offering essential advice and perspective all along the way. We only had two months between my daughter's engagement and the wedding itself, and I could not have figured it all out without Nicole! She was helpful in every way, very responsive, and on top of details with a cheerful can-do attitude. We also appreciated her assistant, Amanda, who was equally personable and helped to make everything run smoothly on the big day.

Nicole was incredible from our first meeting to the end of our wedding day. She took care of the details that I didn’t even know needed to be taken care of. She was so great at our rehearsal. She has a commanding presence, so everyone in our 30 person wedding party listened and followed her, and everything ran so smoothly. Day-of, she fielded all questions away from me and my mom, so we didn’t need to worry about anything other than enjoying the day. 10/10 recommend using her to plan your events!

The wedding has much more exceeded my expectations. It was so perfect and beautiful. All of the guests enjoyed this a lot. The magic thing is that I only put some photos on pinterest and shared them with Nicole. She has made my wedding exactly as what I have in my mind and even better. This is a lifetime memory for me. She is amazing! I chose full planning service because I don't know much about planning an event nor do I have time for it. She did most of the things by herself. I feel like I only need to enjoy the moment. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole this past weekend for my niece's wedding. Being a wedding planner myself for the past 20 plus years, I can assure you I am extremely "picky" about the professionalism of other wedding planners. Nicole absolutely blew it out of the water with every aspect of her wedding planning. She is extremely knowledgeable about the industry, extremely organized and professional in every aspect. I would highly recommend her and consider yourself lucky if you get her to plan and execute your wedding!
