MEET NICOLE PHILLIPS
>> I was born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona giving me an insiders view on the area.
>> I'm a mom of THREE! 2 boys & 1 girl!
>> I said "YES" to the dress at Kleinfeld's in NYC, ironically not planned.
>> Before I knew I wanted to be an Event Planner, I wrote my final essay in Business School on "How to Plan an Event".
>> My favorite part of a wedding is standing with the couple prepping them for their Grand Entrance. There is something special about the excitement right before they enter to cheering guests who are all there for THEM celebrating their LOVE!
