I could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Nicole!! She is AMAZING at what she does!! I booked her for day of coordination around August 2017 for our April 2018 wedding. She has been extremely quick with responses from my original contact and answered all of my questions with ease. We had an introductory phone call that she got all of our details we had so far. During the planning process, I asked her for many recommendations. This wasn't even a part of our contract, but something extra she provided. Every time I asked her, she got back to me within a day with a list of ideas for me. At one month out, she took over. We had a meeting and went over everything in extreme details. After the meeting, she finalized the timeline She also made separate timelines for each vendor AND my bridal party. She contacted each vendor to introduce herself and kept me on all communication so I was in the loop. Even with vendors that were unresponsive, she followed up and made sure she had everything squared away with them. She made sure everyone had every piece of information they could want and need. Weekend of; she came to the rehearsal, picked up all decor, and answered all questions. Morning of, she dropped off my decor to the venue then went back out to pick up my DIY flowers. During decorating, every single detail I wanted she made even better. Then, the disaster came when the guest shuttle didn't show up without notice. They didn't answer any of her calls or emails. She handled it calmly and with ease. She communicated with all guests at the hotel to take ubers over and helped them find transportation there. With the help of the venue coordinator, they called all local shuttles and found one to do the pick up at the end of the night (with only a few hours to spare)! Throughout the night, everything else went off without a hitch and she helped to get the timeline back on track since it was delayed by the bus. Everything that I needed, she already had taken care of before I even knew I needed it. She was so helpful and I would HIGHLY recommend!!!! read more

Everyone tells you to not "sweat the small" stuff as you begin wedding planning. While this is well-intentioned, the reality is that in the days and weeks leading up to your wedding, your mind will likely be consumed with the "small stuff" and you'll want to make sure you have a strong support system during this time so that you can fully enjoy your day. I knew from the early days of wedding planning that I wanted to surround myself and my family with vendors who felt like friends and who were calm, grounded, flexible, and energized. These were particularly important qualities for our month-of wedding planning. I met Nicole at Sirpilla Soirees back in 2018 at a wedding expo in DC while my friend was getting married. It felt like fate when, three years later, I saw that she had moved to Cleveland and was serving couples in NE Ohio (where my wedding was going to be held!). I was excited to meet with and know Nicole because she already had rave reviews and I loved following her design work online. It seemed like people really loved her!! After meeting with her virtually, I came to immediately know why everyone loves her. Nicole is calm, cool, and collected at all times and she's CLEARLY a professional. She knows what she's doing, is extremely organized, and offers advice without being demanding or pressurizing. I knew that our day would be in perfect hands with her at the wheel--and it was! Nicole ensured that I never sweated the "small stuff" because her and her team were on top of everything. They worked professionally with all our vendors and from my perspective, the day was executed without any major issues. If there were any issues, I would have never known anyways because Nicole and the team handled everything and brought a strong, calming force into our day. Hiring a wedding planner or month-of coordinator is 1000000% worth the investment. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Sirpilla Soirees. We are so grateful that we did. read more

My wife contacted Sirpilla Soirées at least 6 months prior to our wedding. Nicole was our sole contact throughout the process. My wife had some email correspondence with Nicole over the next few months until we both finally met with her a little over a month before our wedding date. From this point on Nicole became very involved with the coordination of the entire wedding. We had a DJ, baker, hair and makeup, a shuttle service for wedding guests, as well as a few people who worked with the wedding venue that Nicole kept in pretty constant contact with. Nicole did a wonderful job conveying what and when everything would happen leading up to the wedding and was very helpful during venue walkthroughs and the rehearsal itself. As for the wedding day, Nicole completely took over and handled a lot of the stress that comes with leading up to the actual ceremony. She actually handled bringing our flowers to the venue and setting them all up throughout the venue. She then continued to assist the venue staff with setting up different pieces my wife and I were more particular about. We actually had an issue with our shuttle service at the very last minute so everything became delayed by at least 30 minutes but Nicole was able to roll with the punches and help get everything back on schedule as well as find shuttle accommodations for our 100+ guests to get home from the reception. Once the evening was over Nicole continued to make sure the wedding gifts were taken care of as well as any other related clean up. I can't speak for any other coordinators but if you're getting married and are on the fence about whether a day-of coordinator is worth it, I can say Nicole is worth every penny. I would recommend Sirpilla Soirées to anyone getting married or in need of any kind of event coordination. read more

Nicole, the owner of Sirpilla Soirees was absolutely the best and a God send! We had to back out of our original venue due to our family's disapproval, so I was frantic and decided we needed help! I contacted Nicole and we set up a consultation meeting. She was on time and very organized for our consultation meeting and asked me a lot of questions that I had no answers for and never thought about. I really didn't have a clear vision for our wedding, and she helped me narrow in on what I liked and disliked. We had many challenges due to our different Asian backgrounds and family requests. She listened to all of our requirements and restrictions and helped us every step of the way. She suggested that I create a Pinterest board of everything that I liked, be it, flowers, dresses, colors, venues, hair, makeup..etc and send it to her. From there she created a mood board for our wedding. Once the mood board was created, I was able to see all elements in one cohesive platform and I would suggest edits, and the mood board would be revised. I realized once I saw the mood board that there was a lot of work to do and needed her for Full Wedding Planning service. She was instrumental in: creating a budget for all vendors based on our total budget; finding a florist, DJ, and shuttle service, and decorative items; and creating the overall design of our wedding. At times, I was lazy and didn't do my "homework" and she would follow up with me and made sure I stayed on track. Nicole has impeccable taste and can help anyone design the wedding of their dreams within their budget. My new hubby and I are so grateful that we found her because we had a wedding that we could have never dreamed of. And the icing on the cake was that both of our families loved the wedding too! read more

Nicole was amazing to work with. Although she was our day-of-coordinator, we were communicating for the entire month before the big day, including a visit to our venue in Leesburg, VA with our caterer and venue coordinator. She is extremely organized and made easy-to-read timetables for my fiance and me, our bridal party, and all of our other vendors. Nicole also communicated effectively with our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Multiple vendors gave us unsolicited compliments about how organized Nicole is and how easy it is to work with her. Nicole's professionalism is also another one of her assets to highlight. She is very friendly and personable, and when it's go time, she can turn on her commandeering attitude. She was able to run our wedding rehearsal, which can be difficult when you're dealing with 20+ people. We were all very impressed! On the day of the wedding, Nicole's adaptability came into play when a storm was brewing nearby during the ceremony. She and her assistant Megan worked effectively with our venue coordinator to quickly move the entire party from the outdoor ceremony into the reception tent and the bridal party into a separate indoor area before the downpour of rain. Both Nicole and Megan were also willing to get caught in the storm in order to get the cocktail food and drinks to us, for which we're eternally grateful! Looking back on it, our wedding day was exactly as we wanted it: no stress and full of fun and love. Nicole took care of all the problems (I don't even know if there were any problems haha) and we just enjoyed the day. We highly recommend booking Nicole! We are glad that we were able to catch her in the DC area before she moves away - Ohio is in good hands! read more

I was recommended to use Sirpilla Soirees by my cousin, who is in the wedding industry. She described this team as a dynamic duo (Nicole and Kate), professional, seamless, and well organized. I also started seeing them on Instagram, which if you do not follow their account, you should! I signed up for the month of planning, and in hindsight, I wished I had signed up for the entire year. You will find you spend a lot of money on weddings and things seem to add up quickly but what I have no doubt about is that investing in a planner, especially one as good as Kate, was worth it! My day was instantly better due to Kate staying so organized, creating an itinerary discussing what needed to be done or options on what could be done. She contacted all of the vendors made sure everyone was in communication with each other at all times. She made sure my bridesmaids and groomsmen knew where to be and when. She made my day perfect. When you would be stressing about something, kate had it figured out and already done. She was present at the hotel making sure we were on top of timing. She even made this creative video, including our rings and wedding accessories I wouldn't even have thought of making! She carried extra things in her apron and would have a bobby pin ready to go to pin my veil up in a pinch. Before I walked down the aisle, she made me take a deep breath and cherish the moment. She really was the support I needed throughout the day and a person who simply reminded me to enjoy each minute that passed. Jay and I can not thank Kate enough for making our day so unforgettable and so special. Thank you :) read more

Working with Kate at Sirpilla Soirees was an absolute dream. I reached out to the company in December of 2020 to inquire about our October 2022 wedding. Nicole responded right away and referred me to Kate who wasted no time getting the ball rolling. From our first meeting, I knew we had made the right choice. Kate is so professional, friendly, organized and easy to work with. She arranged florist consultations to take place at my home so I didn't have to change my work schedule. She was always willing to meet later in the afternoon to accommodate my fiancés schedule as well. As someone who never had much interested in planning and executing a wedding, Kate made the whole process fun and even enjoyable! Their preferred vendor list is top notch. We ended up hiring almost all of our vendors off of it and let me tell you, they all made our planning and actual wedding day a breeze. When I tell you we couldn't have done this wedding without Kate, it is the absolute truth. Oh and the design vision packet! What a great tool to have to share with vendors. It is so fun to look back at our design board and then at pictures of our actual wedding and see how it all came together. Kate truly Made everything run smoothly from our first meeting, to our last dance, to driving our giant van full of wedding decorations to a parking lot for us to pick to the next morning (seriously, she's an angel). I don't know how people plan weddings without a professional planner and coordinator and I cannot recommend Kate and Sirpilla Soirees enough. read more

5 stars- Simply put, Kate was amazing and helped make the wedding planning experience fantastic (even for the groom). She was extremely flexible and easy to work with. My wife and I are both students and she helped guide us through the planning process and saved us a ton of time and effort working with vendors and getting details sorted out. We first talked to Kate in March 2021 for a December wedding, she is the one that made it possible to have a wedding within the same year. We were lucky to have her as she took on the craziness of an 8 month planning period and made it seamless. When both of us were out of town Kate would be willing to go to vendor meetings and facetime/zoom us through them, which is a great help that let us productively balance wedding planning and school. A week before our wedding our caterer cancelled on us, Kate came to the rescue immediately and had another caterer set up as a replacement. She quite literally saved the day. Kate was a great friend as well, and helped my wife at the reception when her train broke. She was super fun and a great person to have around during the planning process. We really cannot rate her highly enough, as she was instrumental to our wedding and all the work that went into it. Huge shoutout to her! Highly recommend Kate! read more

Nicole with Sirpilla Soirees was nothing short of outstanding on my wedding day. We hired her as our day of coordinator, but before the day even got there she made sure all of the details with the vendors were squared away and got everyone on the same page. She visited my venue for me since I was on living on the opposite coast which was a huge help! She gave us a very detailed timeline to send to our bridal party and did the same for each individual vendor. She also helped me pick up parking passes for my guests, decorate my venue the day before and picked up our dessert on the way over the venue so we didn't have to worry about it on the day of. Throughout the night she made sure my husband and I were eating, drinking, staying on schedule, taking care of little details (like when we forgot the sword to cut the cake), and gathered up all of the cards and gifts for my mom to take home that night. After everyone left, she stayed behind to make sure all my centerpieces were neatly packed away for pickup the next day! From when I hired her 10 months before my wedding to the day after, she was everything I could have asked for in a wedding coordinator, and I highly, highly recommend her to anyone in need of an extra set of hands! Thanks again!! read more

Nicole is an EXCELLENT Wedding coordinator. We contracted her for 3 months-out and could not have been happier with her services. She quickly stepped in and took over wherever I needed assistance and was efficient in getting me back on track whenever became overwhelmed. She responded to all of our texts and e-mails in a timely manner and was on top of any vendors who were non-responsive. We never felt pushed or pulled in any one direction when it came to planning and decision making. She allowed me to make all of the decisions unless I otherwise asked and was open to helping however she could. One thing that stood out the most is her ability to herd the vendors and create a beautiful day-of timeline. This reduced questions and concerns and helped the vendors, venue, and wedding party stay on the same page. On the day of, she was well organized and had everything under control. There were a few things that did not go as planned (as with every wedding), but Nicole was right there to support us and address it as quickly as possible. She was not afraid to approach the vendors head on and ask them to make changes. We fully recommend using Nicole as your day-of, 6 month, or full wedding coordinator. read more

From the beginning I knew Megan and Sirpilla Soirées was going to make my day beyond perfect! When I first met with Megan, she had a calming reassurance about her. She listened to exactly what I wanted and only made my vision better, not to mention being on top of every detail you could think of. I was worried with hiring a coordinator I wouldn't get to plan out all the details of my day; I couldn't have been more wrong. Megan worked with me (and my fiancé when he was needed) hand in hand to design my dream day. The timeline was flawlessly put together with cushion room because she knew we would need it. She kept me calm and reassured me throughout working with her; if there was an issue she would take care of it, this day was going to be perfect. Megan was right and didn't disappoint! The day was all I had dreamed of and more. I had the time of my life and didn't have to stress about a thing because she and her team were taking care of it. My advice? Hire Megan with Sirpilla Soirées. I promise you won't regret it. My only regret is not hiring her earlier in the process. I wish I could relive my day a million times over thanks to Megan. It was beyond perfect! read more

Amazing! That about sums up the entire experience. From start to finish, Nicole has been there. Her attention to detail has been impeccable. At first, we did not plan on having a planner but things quickly escalated, and we soon realized that we can not do this all on our own. We were on a tight budget and did not want to spend on things that, we felt at the time, was not necessary. Save yourself the trouble and most importantly, the stress, get a planner right from the start. Having a professional opinion, at all times, is very comforting in making all of your biggest decisions. She works around our budget, explains how things work, give great suggestions, and gives us direction when we are lost. When I say that she was there from start to finish, I really mean it. She was there for the venue selections, the food tastings, the catering tours, and the floral arrangements. She is truly a professional and you can see it with her talent and the passion in her work. Whatever you need, whatever you question you have, and whatever you envision, she will be there for you throughout the process and will literally make your dream come true! read more

I hired Nicole because I needed a month of coordinator that would interact with all the vendors on my behalf, make the schedules for everyone, etc. Nicole definitely can do that! She is very organized and is great at communicating with the vendors, making sure people stay on schedule, etc. Also, her prices were great compared to other DC coordinators, and she offered a second coordinator at a reasonable rate--- I definitely needed two people coordinating my day! There were a few minor hiccups, but the biggest one was that somehow there were not enough chairs for the ceremony and some people had to stand! We had an exact count of guests, so I'm not sure how that happened--- but it ended up delaying the ceremony so they could bring more chairs in--- not exactly what you want to happen as you are waiting to walk down the aisle. Also, some family members were allowed to walk away with some of our signs and frames, without us being asked. That is relatively minor, but was an annoyance. Despite the hiccups, I would recommend Nicole as a coordinator - I can't speak to her for a wedding planner/designer, because I didn't use those services. read more

Nicole was the best wedding planner we could of ever asked for. We are so happy that we had her help during one of the most important days of our lives. Her years of experience and her connections to many different vendors really made the wedding planning process simple and stress free. She provided us with a few different choices that focused on our vision but never pressured us into making a decision we didn't feel comfortable with. She was always there to answer any of our questions or concerns we had. We had a small hiccup during the morning of our wedding, but Nicole was on it and got the issue resolved in a matter of minutes. It was like it never even happened! She was calm and collected during the whole day, which is something I needed. I never felt stressed or concerned. Kate, was also very helpful! She kept me calm and at ease while I waited for my grand entrance. If you need a wedding planner, I would definitely recommend Nicole. She allowed Michael and I plus our family to have a stress free day where everyone got to enjoy the day. She is the best! read more

Let me tell you about Nicole of Sirpilla Soirées. She was the MVP of our wedding vendors. She was the beacon of organization, from carefully crafting the wedding timeline, to color coordinating each vendors schedule, to calling and emailing reminders and updates to everyone a month, week, and days out. She was the perfect blend of professional and personable, which is so important when planning your wedding! Nicole was the pulse of our wedding, she kept me informed and reassured every step of the way (not to mention kept me sane when our florist threatened not to deliver items included in the contract the day of!). She held meetings on my behalf when vendors missed our scheduled meeting and briefed me on the important details. Nicole also took it upon herself to hire an assistant to help her the day of as she noticed that we had many details that needed attending to. She even set up our champagne tower which was one of the highlights of the wedding! We can't thank her or recommend her highly enough! read more

Nicole was such a delight to work with! I honestly would not be able to pull off the amazing wedding that guests raved about if it was not for her professionalism and support. From beginning to end, I was just so impressed in how she managed our timeline as well as her own! She helped me out several times when I was in a pinch (especially on the day of on top of all the other things she had to do!) and I could not have been more grateful for her help. She connected us to some great vendors (who we also ended up working with) and made sure that everyone (including the wedding party) was well equipped for the big day. Not only that, she made awesome recommendations for wedding decor (she helped us put together some amazing items and thoughtful touches to our reception). Needless to say, Nicole is multi-talented and very capable of delivering on her word. I cannot thank her enough for making it such a special day and would not hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends or family! read more

I don't even know where to begin!? There really are no words to describe the talent Sirpilla Soirees has when it comes to wedding planning. We worked with Kate for our month-of coordination - she was honestly a life saver. On top of planning a wedding.. we were buying / moving into our first home and both working busy jobs. We knew we needed extra help and I am FOREVER grateful that I found Kate. She is SO easy to work with - from our very first intro/planning meeting to the last minute at the wedding reception she made me feel like the most special bride in the world. The details, the timeline, the attentiveness, the work ethic, the kindness, the drive, the passion -- everything was 10/10. We were so impressed and could not have done it without this team. They go above and beyond to make your wedding the most memorable, special, dreamy, fun and unforgettable day of your life. Do yourself a favor and call them for your wedding coordination!!! You will not be disappointed!! read more

I can not say enough great things about Nicole and Sirpilla Siorees! Nicole helped my finance and I get started on our wedding plans in 2019. My fiance deployed overseas for 14 months and she was understanding, flexible and most of all supportive. She helped us stay within our budget and find the best venue and vendors for our big day. Nicole helped keep us on track while allowing us to make some decisions last minute when my fiance came home. The week of our wedding Nicole was on top of everything and willing to answer questions and deal with last minute panic attacks at any hour of the day. Our wedding day went off seamlessly and we had the most amazing day from start to finish. Nicole was always on top of all the COVID regulations and made sure we had the perfect day in the safest way! My motto throughout the whole wedding planning experience was " When in doubt call Nicole"! If you are looking for the best planner, Sirpilla Siorees is the best choice! read more

Nicole Sirpilla was the absolute best wedding planner I ever could have asked for! EVERYTHING was beyond PERFECT! I was a Covid bride and had to change my wedding from the summer of 2020 to the summer of 2021. She made everything so completely seamless and easy for us to make those changes, she even let me switch my theme up. When my husband and I walked into the reception space we were so completely blown away with how stunning it was and with how she transformed the space. We were speechless! She 100% made my wedding dreams come true and then some! She was always giving me ideas and was always willing to hear mine. I am forever grateful for having her as a wedding planner and I will never forget how she made our day so incredibly special. read more
