Reviews of Nordstrom Events (Event Planner)

Ashley Bound

We don't even know where to begin with how incredible Diane and Deborah are! We are from Pennsylvania and were very nervous to have an out of state wedding. They both put every anxious thought out of our mind and planned our dream wedding, every detail from the little things like colors and wedding signs to the big things like our DJ, Videographer, and caterer! From 8 in the morning to 11 at night they made sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. Our family and friends immediately fell in love with them! It got a little windy for the reception and they moved everything inside without missing a beat! Deborah is an amazing photographer and captured every moment of our big day, and got them back to us all within a week! When we got home and showed everyone, they all said they were the best wedding pictures they had ever seen! We can not thank the two of you enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams and would recommend you to anyone! Everyone that was at our wedding can see exactly why you both love what you do. Thank you again The Ridings :)

I absolutely recommend Diane for your OBX wedding! I live out of state and she was so comforting to work with! She is very helpful and made my day as stress free as possible!! Five stars is not nearly enough.

Diane and Deborah were amazing! We traveled from TN for our wedding and they covered all the little details that seemed to be impossible from 12 hours away. Everyone at home asked if I was stressed and there was never a moment I felt stressed or overwhelmed. They emailed/called/texted constantly to ease the stress of wedding planning, and if we had questions or concerns they were always there to answer and ease our concerns. We didn’t plan on hiring a wedding planner when we came to OBX, but the package they put together for us was affordable and covered everything we wanted- and again they did all the painful small wedding details I didn’t even think about!! Highly recommend these lovely ladies for your special day!!

Diane and the Nordstrom Events staff were a pleasure to work with during the entire year up to our wedding day! Diane was super organized and helpful every step of the way. We are so glad she was our planner on the most important day of our lives, and we definitely recommend her!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Deborah and Diane. They made our long-distance planning process so easy and stress-free, and our Outer Banks wedding exceeded every one of our hopes and dreams. When rain got in the way of our beach ceremony, they seamlessly transitioned to "plan B," and the entire event was absolutely perfect. Deborah and Diane, you created something truly beautiful and magical, and for that we are forever grateful to you.

They helped plan our entire wedding from out of state! They were beyond awesome and our day couldn’t have gone any better than it was. We were fearing the hurricane but thankfully we got it just in time. The pictures we got back less than 24 hours and they were beyond perfect! I would HIGHLY recommend choosing them to help with your special day and you will NOT regret it. Thank you so much again for everything you did for us

We got married May of 2019 with Nordstrom Events by our side. We are in Raleigh so it would have been very difficult to plan a wedding in Kitty Hawk without a planner! They were there through everything including food tastings, cake tastings, color schemes, rehearsal, decor, photography, and planning our welcome dinner. They even helped me find someone to do my hair and makeup. Communication was absolutely wonderful and they were easy to reach through phone calls and emails. I HIGHLY recommend using Nordstrom Events if you are planning an OBX wedding.

If I could give more stars I would! 10 out of 10!! They definitely blew me away with how easy and stress free Dianne made my wedding. I had no idea where to even start to plan and she swooped in and took care of it all. Dianne was more than accommodating, always keeping in touch and working out all the details. All we had to do was show up! I also have to include the photographer, Deborah. She was amazing as well! Really on top of arranging us for the best possible pictures. Taking the time to get exactly the pictures with family and friends as well what back drops we wanted. They are truly beautiful pictures that we can treasure for a lifetime. I would definitely recommend Nordstrom events to everyone for any event.

On May 28th, 2018 Diane and her staff came to our beach house in Pine Island, Corolla to coordinate and set up our wedding! We live in Pittsburgh and got married exactly one year after we got engaged, which didn’t give us much time to plan. We needed help that was forsure! When I initially spoke with Diane I knew I wanted her to help plan our big day. She was beyond friendly, very knowledgeable, and we could just tell she was an honest person! We couldn’t have had such an amazing wedding day without her. Of course on our wedding day it rained and we had to pull the ceremony to the inside of our beach house, and as everyone who plans a beach wedding knows, you can plan everything except the weather! Well even though our wedding took place in our house, it was absolutely beautiful! Diane and her staff did everything they could to set up the inside just how they would have set it up on the beach. Let me tell you it was stunning! As the rain continued to fall, my hubby and I said “ I DO” under the most beautiful arch, with our closest friends and family! It was so intimate and you could feel the emotion in the room. Deborah our photographer, captured the most amazing pictures! What amazes us is that Diane and Deborah worked so wonderfully together and our entire day from start to finish was fabulous. Not to mention my family loved them both. Deborah knew how much Phil and I wanted pictures on the beach so she took time out of her busy schedule to come back on a day it didn’t rain to do just that. And WOW just WOW these pictures turned out stunning!!!! We couldn’t thank Diane, Deborah and their staff enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️ Mr. & Mrs. Hieber

My husband and I got married this weekend down at the OBX. Nordstrom Events made sure our day went as smoothly and flawlessly as possible! As to be expected, the weather doesn't always cooperate. It was very windy, but we still had an amazing time. We made a few last minute changes because of the wind, but everything was perfect. Diane and Deborah both went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and stress free on our big day. They do a phenomenal job and are wonderful at what they do. I can not thank them enough for making our wedding day amazing!

We loved working with Diane and Deborah at Nordstrom Events. They are friendly, easy to work with and knowledge. We highly recommend their wedding and or other events services. We loved how smoothly our wedding day went and all of the preparation as well. We live about 8 hrs away in PA and they truly made our wedding stress-free, beautiful and memorable. The photos Deborah took are fantastic. If I could rank them higher than a five star I would. Book with them you won't regret it.

Diane exceeded our expectations! She made planning the event beyond easy. She completely understood my vision for the ceremony. The vows, flowers, photos, sand ceremony, beautiful arch set up - everything was perfect! I cannot recommend Diane enough!

Tiffany Moldovan

It's hard to put into words how amazing Diane really is. I work in an industry where I work with destination brides frequently. While working with one of them, I met Diane. Her professionalism and attention to detail amazed me, and the creative thoughts she put into action were exceptional. My lucky day came where my boyfriend of 8 years asked me to marry him. My first thought was I absolutely need to call the woman I met a few months ago to coordinate my wedding! She exceeded every expectation I had. From the beginning to end, she was available at any time for questions, met with me more times then she needed to, and always kept me calm. My wedding was absolutely perfect, and I owe most of that to her. If you are looking for the best wedding coordinator to help with your big day, Diane should be the first person you call!
