Nicole Maida
I’m Nicole, the N to the TEN, and with over a decade of experience orchestrating unforgettable corporate and private events, I bring a wealth of expertise and passion to every project I undertake. My event planning journey began in the corporate world, where I held pivotal roles in the financial industry and later at a prominent home builder and real estate brokerage. But it was in the dynamic environment of one of the world's largest airports that my love for creating extraordinary events truly took flight.
​
Driven by a passion for crafting seamless and memorable experiences, I founded my first event company. Two years later, I joined forces with talented partners to launch another venture, continuously innovating and elevating the art of event planning. My approach is distinct, integrating mindset work into every facet of the process. I believe a positive mindset sparks creativity and efficiency, and I infuse each event with professionalism, warmth, and meticulous attention to detail. For me, event planning is more than a profession—it's a calling that blends my organizational prowess with the joy of helping clients realize their dreams.
​
Living each day immersed in my passion makes my work feel like a rewarding journey. I find immense joy in collaborating closely with clients, guiding them through the intricacies of event design and execution to achieve results that exceed expectations. Let’s embark on this journey together and create an event that reflects your vision and leaves a lasting impression. I look forward to connecting with you and turning your ideas into extraordinary realities.
