Wedding Planner - Nicole and Charlotte laughing

Who are we?

We are sisters, born in a very small village on the coast of East Yorkshire, within walking distance of the beach – we spent many days eating sandy sandwiches and exploring tide pools! We were best friends growing up, and have remained just as close as adults.

We both left Yorkshire to study at rival institutions in Leicester – De Montfort University and the University of Leicester. Having developed a love for the Midlands, we both ended up staying in the area and have lived and worked here ever since!

With over five years of event management experience, and an extensive knowledge of the fashion buying industry under our belts, we agreed that our combined skills would be the perfect match, and so joined forces to create Nicole & Charlotte Events – an exceptional, bespoke wedding planning service.

I love everything about weddings and always have. Organising my own wedding from start to finish inspired me to pursue it as a career, and I’m so happy I have!

What’s your favourite part of a wedding?

There are so many amazing moments in a wedding, but my favourite has to be the first dance – it’s such a beautiful, special moment between the newly married couple.

Charlotte

What made you want to become a wedding planner?

I spent several years organising large, complex conferences, and fell in love with managing events. For me, there’s no better event to organise than a wedding so it felt like an obvious move. To work with people during such an important part of their life, is a great privilege.

What’s your favourite part of a wedding?

It’s hard to pick one, but for me, there’s nothing quite like watching the groom see the bride for the first time – the look on their face always makes me emotional.

Describe yourself in three words

Organised, tall, dog-lover (that counts as three words right?!)

Name one thing you have on you at all times

My phone – I feel so disconnected if I don’t have it with me and I get a fear of missing out!

What’s your favourite colour?

I love mint green.

If you could have organised the wedding of a famous couple, who would you pick?

Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie – they looked so happy and in love, and her dress was beautiful!

Wuthering Heights
