What makes your love story special?

Let us show it off.

Oh hey! I’m Nikki, so nice to meet you!

A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, I fell in love with wedding planning while in college. After spending a few years in Seattle as an event planner and exploring the Pacific Northwest, I returned to my home state in 2015 and launched CLE shortly thereafter.

With over 13 years experience in all aspects of the event industry, including wedding planning, catering, banquet, and hotel management, I have a unique ability to see your wedding from all angles.

Our calm approach will be a refreshing voice in a process that could otherwise seem daunting. The level of dedication given to your wedding is unparalleled. I truly give my all to every wedding as if it were my own.

I can’t wait to chat with you!

We believe in a laid-back, relaxed style of planning- this should be an exciting time in your life, not stressful.

some fun facts about me!

I was also an asheville bride!

This means in addition to planning 100s of weddings in WNC, I have the unique experience of having been in your shoes.
As a die hard unc basketball fan...

March Madness is a holiday in my household.
my husband is the funniest man on the planet

and we have two lovely daughters, 5 year old Evey and 3 year old Josie.
My favorite color is yellow!

The brighter the better, if you couldn’t already tell…
My favorite flower is a poppy!

All the local poppies that grow in the Spring in Asheville make my heart so happy!
My favorite drink is my morning coffee

made every day by my amazing husband. Close second? An Old Fashioned.

Nikki and her team are THE BEST!

I had a destination wedding in Asheville and she really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the process being so far away. We were planning for over a year and she kept me on track with all the major and minor details. The day of the wedding she had everything under control and didn’t let me break a sweat. I’m beyond grateful and happy with my decision to use her for our wedding!! I would give her more stars if I could ✨
