Who is Taylor Nicole?

Many people that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting since launching Taylor Nicole Events have had the urge to address me, personally or via correspondence, as Taylor or Nicole and sometimes as Taylor Nicole; when I’ve politely made the correction, they’ve always inquired…..Who is Taylor Nicole? So, for all of you who’ve visited the Taylor Nicole Events website and read the “About Us” page or have just wondered… “What is the significance of the company’s name if it isn’t the name of the owner?” here goes. Taylor Nicole is my beautiful niece; she celebrated her 8th birthday on the 4th of July. Taylor is active in softball, soccer and the captain of her cheerleading squad. Taylor attends Calvary Baptist Church and is fun loving, a “chatty Kathy” of sorts, and little sister to two older brothers, Wesley (10) and Justin (25). Taylor is also a nurturing older cousin to my nephew, Demire (6) and niece, Delilah (2). Like the individual, the name “Taylor Nicole” is classic and will stand the test of time, so I was honored that my sister and of course, my niece, agreed to allow the name to grace my company because like Taylor Nicole herself, every event planned by Taylor Nicole Events will become a classic in the minds of the hosts and their guests alike.

What is your Wedding Style…Does it compliment your Budget?

After the question has been popped and the answer given, the tears shed and the phone calls placed, what is the next step? Brides begin to envision their big day in its totality, Grooms envision the party and Parents envision celebrating with happy guests. How does one begin the process of marrying all of these ideas and thoughts together? It starts with your budget. Unquestionably, the budget is a crucial part of the planning process but after deciding on that magical number, how does one know if it will support your dream wedding? I advise couples on the financial realities of creating their big day and what their budget will support. I understand the costs related to a bride and groom’s selections and can also provide additional viable options that are well suited to “The Dream”. Listening to my clients and clearly understanding what’s most important to them allows me to properly allocate the funds within their budget. Additionally, my education, experience and knowledge of the planning process serve to avoid making costly mistakes while maximizing the budget throughout the entire planning process. Budget Creation & Management is included in some of our offered packages but can also be a stand alone service. Contact us today to see how we can help you have your dream wedding.
