Beyond Expectation

MEET NICOLE

Hi there! I’m Nicole Pustizzi. My obsession with planning started a long time ago. I’m that girl who, starting in kindergarten, used a whiteboard to organize all my school assignments. Yes, it was that serious! Capturing visions in my minds eye and bringing them to life has always been a passion of mine as well. So, it was only natural that, when it came to my high school prom, themed events in college and friends’ weddings and baby showers, I jumped at any opportunity to be a part of the planning and execution process. Planning events combines my passions for logistics, problem-solving, art and design and allows me to do what I love and love what I do.

I enjoy traveling and learning about different parts of the world and experiencing what they have to offer. Upon graduating from Florida State University (Go Noles!), I began my journey into the real world back at my roots in south Florida. In my spare time, you’ll find me spending time with friends, working out at the gym or watching a cheesy rom-com on Netflix. I’m a sucker for sappiness! I love living an active lifestyle and eating clean, but sweets are my absolute weakness. Don’t even get me started on my donut obsession!

During my last two years of college, I had the opportunity to work with a phenomenal event planner. It was then that I was hooked! My entrepreneurial spirit, along with the help of a wonderful support system, inspired me to start my own journey to create priceless memories for others.

TESTIMONIALS

Nicole exceeded expectations when it came to our entire wedding process…always checking in with me making sure that we were on the same page…when it came to planning. She was a tremendous help….I couldn’t think of anyone more wonderful and better suited for planning events when it comes to Nicole. On the day of the wedding, she made sure we were on time…while keeping everything in order with the vendors, guests, etc. I gave her complete creative freedom…people were complimenting how great it looked….She made my wedding planning process so smooth and stress free. She is amazing guys. I would definitely recommend her. You won’t be disappointed!

Nicole was my planner for my wedding on November 8, 2020. Not only did we have COVID to deal with, but we also had a tropical storm the day of the wedding. Nicole was very helpful in the planning process and very professional! I would definitely recommend or use Nicole again for any event. She helped with decorating ideas, putting in a personal touch and took all the last-minute changes from the weather great.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole last year on a wedding. We had just met, and it was an instant connection. As a planner myself, I could see Nicole was dedicated to making this event perfect! She is bright, friendly, and very easygoing. I was the hired caterer and had no problem being available to assist where needed. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, things were unusual already, but to add to that, we had Tropical Storm Eta to deal with! We made it through! Nicole reorganized the ceremony and pulled it together to have the wedding inside as if it were planned that way. I would welcome ANY opportunity to work with her again. Don’t look past this lovely lady!
