Let’s Plan Your

I, Dani Nicole, have produced and planned many events to date — festivals, conferences, corporate holiday parties, baby showers, graduation parties, etc. — transforming Hampton Roads’ unique and eclectic venues for both private and corporate clients.

Bringing Your Vision to Life

• My goal as an experienced creator is to discover your vision, capture it and design a space that perfectly embodies that energy.
• I received my certification from Ashworth College and have had many years of success in planning events.
• I start with a one-to-one conversation to gain a sense of your desired theme and personal style. Pairing with the best vendors in Hampton Roads to make sure your event embodies your vision.
• At every stage, I work with you, giving personal attention to every detail and proudly putting my name, Events by Nicole, behind your event.
