Experiential events for bold dreamers and tastemakers

We’re not just your event planner, because you don’t need another event

You need a moment in time to remember forever, long after the champagne has been poured and you’ve danced the night away under the twinkling lights.

We curate elegant, immersive experiences that are a feast for the senses

Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner party, bridal celebration, or first-time baby shower, it’s not the striking color scheme that will set your event apart — it’s the way sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch are thoughtfully combined to represent your story. From the luxe texture of linen to the enchanting sounds of music humming in the background, to the fresh oysters served with mignonette sauce, every detail of the gathering should complete your vision.

Impeccable planning and design, delivered with a high-touch service

When you partner with Nicole Leza Planning & Design you spend less time coordinating the details, and more time truly present with those you love.

Creative Director

We discover your unique story, personality, and tastes to bring your vision to life in an experiential way. Unafraid to push creative boundaries, we explore innovative and trend-setting designs to curate a personalized gathering that can never be replicated.

Logistics Coordinator

We take care of every design and planning detail, so you can enjoy the lead up to your special celebration (or simply get back to the other pressing priorities in your life!). On event day? We thoughtfully handle everything behind the scenes (you won’t even notice that we’re there).

Trusted Friend

We’re not just another vendor, we’re your personal celebration squad and a safe space for all of your wild and wonderful ideas. Backyard summer soirée for 10? We’re all for it. Palm Springs desert retreat? Let’s do it!

Introducing the Elegant Event Experience

Event Experience

01. Consultation

Once your booking is secured, we schedule an initial meeting, in person or virtually, where we get to know you and your event needs. We also discuss your tastes, target budget, goals, and priorities.

02. Design Proposal

We create a design booklet, outlining the creative direction for your special event. This includes ideas for tablescape, color palette, rental options, and more that will come together to bring your vision to life.

03. Design Concept

We develop a concept that specifically lays out all of the details, including images and/or sketches so you can visualize the designs.

04. Final Touches

Two weeks before your event, all of the final adjustments will be made to ensure the lead up to your celebration is nothing short of bliss.

05. The Event Day

Our team will put all of our plans into action, handling every moving part of the day, including setting up your event and packing down everything in the Design Concept. We’ll also work alongside other vendors to ensure smooth running of your event.
