Nicki is simply the best!
We recently worked with Nicki and wanted to share our experience. We hired her for a full wedding planning and design package and she was by far the best decision we could have made during our wedding planning process!
We were blown away by her extensive knowledge of local vendors. She knew all the best vendors in the area (and which were a great value for the price) - it was a huge win to have a team of vendors who were reliable and did their job so well.
Her intuition when it came to our design and creating a cohesive look was incredible. She really understood our vision and helped us bring it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. We went into the process not knowing what aesthetic we wanted, but Nicki was able to help guide us to a design that felt uniquely us.
On the day of our wedding, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment without any stress because we knew that Nicki had everything under control. She was attentive to every detail and made sure that everything ran smoothly.
Our guests told us it was the most beautiful and most fun wedding they had ever attended. That's the best kind of feedback to receive! We owe a huge thank you to Nicki for making our wedding day so memorable.
Overall, we highly recommend Nicki to anyone looking for professional and exceptional planning services. She exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day unforgettable. -

We absolutely loved working with Nicki as our planner! We got married at Ru's Farm on June 4th 2022 but booked Nicki as early as February 2021. It was seriously the best decision we could have made! I do events for a living and if I say to book Nicki than truly look no further. Nicki was organized, had amazing recommendations for every vendor, and knew our venue SO well. She not only was our planner but became a close friend through this entire process. If I ever had a question- she wouldn't hesitate to answer an email or jump on the phone and listen to my hundreds of questions or concerns along the way. To top it off, she also has an amazing design eye- something that I was really looking for in a planner. Our wedding was everything and more and a huge part of that was thanks to Nicki!Nicki Wolfe Events + Spaces's reply:
YOU!!!!!! I'm so grateful for our experience and time together. Not only am I a better planner having worked with you (knowing my ideal client better), but also a better person. Your grace and elegance was inspiring. Thanks Chuck. xxxxxxxxxx -

If I could leave Nicki a 10 star review I would. She held our hand and guided us through not one, but TWO weddings: the small, Covid-style wedding we had to pivot to at the last minute in 2020 and then the big party we had originally dreamed of a year later. Throughout this two year marathon she was there for us whenever and however we needed her. In what could have been an insanely stressful time, she helped us to feel calm and organized and to actually enjoy the wedding planning process. After every meeting with her, my husband and I talked about how much we love her. And when the time came for our big wedding party, Nicki made the entire weekend feel seamless and easy and fun. It was everything we had been hoping for! And many of our guests commented on how amazing Nicki was; how she seemed to think of and take care of absolutely everything. Nicki is just one of the most thoughtful, creative, easygoing, hardworking, fun, and bad-ass women you'll meet. We felt so lucky to have her by our side as we planned our wedding(s). -

I reached out to Nikki based on a friend’s recommendation and am so grateful for her wedding consultation help! I had such a low budget for my wedding but had hopes for what it may look and feel like. She responded so quickly, and her very first suggestion was exactly what I dreamed of! And within my price range! I couldn’t believe it. I had been slowly becoming more stressed and sad about the planning process, but Nikki single-handedly found me the perfect fit, provided other great vendor recommendations, and was always so responsive and encouraging. She helped only because she is so kind, and you can just tell she has a passion for her work. She also has such an amazing eye. So happy to have found her!! -

We absolutely loved working with Nicki. She was so patient, helped me work through my concerns and hesitations and provided great advice whether it be the overall design and vision or working through the flow. She is very personable and clearly gets the job. She was always available when I needed a quick answer and was easy to schedule longer conversations. I did not worry about a thing on our wedding day because I had so much trust in her and knew she would take care of us. Which she absolutely did! So many of my friends and family also noticed her thoughtfulness, professionalism and expertise on the wedding day. She literally handled everything. Would highly recommend! We miss her already! -

Caitlin R. Sent on 10/06/2019Nicki is, quite simply, the best! Could not have done it without her.
Nicki was an irreplaceable part of our wedding weekend and a true joy to work with. Her talent for visual design and making an event come to life through thoughtful touches is beyond anything we've ever seen.
We started working with Nicki right after we signed our contract with Ru's Farm in Healdsburg. She has planned literally dozens of weddings there and knows the setup cold (and is friends with the owner!), so we felt comfortable that she would be able to handle any issues in the lead up and day-of (which was, in fact, true!). She helped us assemble an A+ team of vendors, many of whom she had worked with before, which further strengthened our confidence (and also, some of them gave us discounts because they love working with Nicki!).
She also helped us bring our vision to life, even though we had trouble articulating it at the beginning. We trusted her artistic / visual sense entirely, and deferred to her on many decisions around color / tables etc which we didn't have a strong point of view on. The whole thing came together wonderfully in the end, and we got so many compliments on every single aspect of the event.
And, Nicki helped us stick to our budget by identifying things that were / were not worth spending money on, in line with our overall goals. She also had a number of table-related items that she brought for us for free (eg runners, table numbers, box for cards, etc.) - it was so nice not to have to purchase all of that ourselves. She did all of our signage and table cards for an extra fee that was 100% worth it - the signs looked lovely and again, so nice not to have to worry about that part of the wedding.
Finally, Nicki was FUN to work with. She has a great sense of humor and genuinely loves what she does. My favorite Nicki moment was when I was stressing out about day-of makeup, and she sent me a video of her applying her own makeup with hilarious commentary to show me that I could, in fact, do my makeup on my own if I wanted to. During the day of, she kept us calm and laughing, and she was so kind with little touches throughout (e.g., packing up some desserts for us because we didn't have time to eat them). We had so much fun working with Nicki and would do it again in a heartbeat.
The only thing I would note is that Nicki dives into the details at various points throughout the process but not at all points. Therefore, if you are type A like me, you will find yourself doing a lot of the organization / reconciliation in between Nicki's deep dives every few months. I didn't mind, because I so valued Nicki's creative talent and knew that my own OCD would mean I would end up doing a lot of the organization anyways. And, Nicki would always respond whenever I texted her, so I never felt that we were out of sync.
Bottom line, we were SO happy working with Nicki and would highly recommend her! -

I was really glad we worked with Nicki & her staff for our ranch wedding. She handled a lot of the details and made sure everything ran super smoothly the day-of. She did a great job of taking care of stuff and not "bothering" us with it. She was a great help with family dynamics, and that was huge. If you are considering a planner, Nicki is a great way to go. Our day was truly special. -

Andrea Sent on 06/26/2019Make Nicki Your First Call...Seriously
Nicki was recommended to me by a family friend, and it was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Nicki just makes everything easier and BETTER. She listens to your vision and then makes it happen. She has amazing relationships with vendors, and was sensitive to budget requirements and priorities. But best of all, she's just amazingly fun to work with. After our first call, I knew I'd be in good hands, and I was. I'd 100% work with Nicki again. -

Nicki is amazing!
Hiring Nicki was the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process. We don't live in CA so we leaned on Nicki a LOT for recommendations on all of our vendors and they all wound up being wonderful. There were times when I would frantically reach out to Nicki for help or suggestions and she was always cool and calm, and ready with the perfect response. She had a very thorough document that really helped us with all the details that we wouldn't have thought of on our own.
Nicki is so personable that I felt like I had known her for years, even though we didn’t actually meet until a couple months prior to the wedding. I am still so impressed that she is so professional yet super fun. She did a fantastic job of keeping things on schedule and working with our vendors. She also had so many details covered (dealing with all the signage; providing things like blankets for guests, candles, a card box; saving us time and money by letting us use her table numbers; etc.) - she is definitely an expert in this field. Honestly, my husband and I are just so thankful to Nicki for all of the work that she did for us - our wedding day wouldn’t have been nearly as beautiful and fun without her. We’ve gotten so many compliments on our wedding and it’s all because of Nicki! I truly loved working with her!
The only negative: That we live on opposite ends of the country. I wish she was my neighbor so I could see her everyday - she really is an amazing person! -

Caitlin Sent on 11/09/2018Nicki - A Superstar
My husband and I have very high expectations, and Nicki exceeded them without breaking a sweat. There were a number of challenges Nicki had to navigate but she did so spectacularly: 1) we lived in Boston but were getting married in Healdsburg California, 2) we only had a loose vision of what we wanted our wedding to be like yet had very defined and particular tastes and wanted something super fresh, and 3) I liked to suggest alternative options even after making a decision…(brides you will understand). It seemed as though for Nicki no challenge was too big, and no family meddling was too difficult for her to resolve. Nicki is a real go-getter and gets it all done to completely blow you away on your big day.
Nicki helped us develop our wedding feel, vibe, colors, smells, and tastes over the course of several months. Between the time difference and our careers, we did not talk to Nicki often or even see each other in person more than twice before the wedding (!), yet she made every interaction feel as though we had all been friends long before we first spoke. She is professional, creative, and highly competent, but above all is passionate about the couples she works with, making what can be a stressful process instead be incredibly fun and exciting. Nicki would carve out time to talk and get to know who we were, what we liked, what was important to us, and would translate those interactions into ideas for us to consider for our wedding - anything from drinks to linens to flatware to flower choices. She customized all of her vendor recommendations based on what was important to us, yet gave us enough options to feel that we had done our diligence. Her reputation in the Bay area is stellar among vendors and venues, giving you full confidence that you’ve made the right choice long before you even know what your wedding will be like! Ultimately what I think is most valuable about her planning abilities and experience is Nicki curated and designed “our” wedding, not just a wedding, resulting in an event that felt truly authentic and reflective of who we were.
Leading up to our wedding and on the day of, Nicki was always nearby for any questions or issues, her approach to life with a sense of humor is also highly worth mentioning as it kept us calm the entire way through planning and day of, and made it incredibly fun, something you don’t often hear about a wedding planning process! She earned our complete trust and would take charge at all the right moments through the process. She completely blew us away upon arrival at the venue. She had sketched out over email and walked us through in person of how the space would look, but my husband and I, and all of our guests, could not have been more astounded by the results of Nicki’s fine eye, unparalleled attention to detail, bespoke design, and ingenious creative senses. Seriously award-winning. She was thoughtful in her design to complement the already naturally gorgeous outdoor venue to be even more effortlessly luxurious and elegant, while also flawlessly executing upon a very high-touch and personalized guest experience. Any problems that arose on the day were resolved quietly and quickly in the background, no one, including us (!), ever noticed a thing, maybe everything really did go perfectly! We had many vendors and Nicki took command and delivered a seamless, life changing event for us and our 120 guests in beautiful wine country. Everyone was a VIP! One last piece about the day of that I hope resonates with you couples reading this is that on our wedding day, we were able to feel present and soak in every last moment knowing Nicki was by our side, something we are so deeply appreciative of Nicki for when we look back on it.
Nicki established a true personal connection with us, as I’m sure she does with all of her clients and anyone she meets because she is just that kind of person. We miss Nicki dearly and endorse her for your wedding planning if you are looking for a truly special, unforgettable experience both in the planning process and on the big day. Happy planning with Nicki! -
Alex Sent on 06/16/2018Oh man, if you want someone who goes above and beyond for you as your try to navigate the wild world of wedding planning and maintain your sanity (and bank account) in the process, call Nicki!
Nicki pulled out every trick in the book to help us find creative ways to make our vision a reality within our budget, suggesting ways to cut corners where it wouldn’t matter so we can put our cash and energy towards the elements of the weekend that would have the biggest impact for us and our guests.
There were numerous occasions when we were drowning in decisions where Nicki swooped in with straight-up pep talks, and she introduced us to so many incredible vendors and insider hook-ups which all came together to create a more magical day than we could have ever imagined for the relatively small budget we were working with. Plus, she has a genius eye for design and incredible calligraphy skills, so definitely take her up on her beautiful signage if you can! I feel like as many of our guests posted pictures of our gorgeous menu board that Nicki made as they did of us!
Bottom line — Nicki is the sweetest, goofiest, most generous and TALENTED badass planner you could ever hope for. It was so, so relieving to just not have to worry about a damn thing once the day got rolling since we knew Nicki had every detail under control. THANK YOU SO MUCH, NICKI!!! -
