NICO (Nick Challed) - a Professional Event & Wedding DJ, MC and Sound Manager

ELLA (Lauren Toker) – a Professional Event & Wedding Planner, Designer and Stylist

Together we are your one stop shop for planning your ideal event, wedding or party in the Sayulita/Punta de Mita area.

We have over a decade of professional experience planning, designing and DJing events and weddings. We produce events in both places we are lucky enough to call home - the Bahia de Banderas, in between Sayulita and Punta de Mita and the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

We've been described by many as "salt of the earth" people. We appreciate good company, good food and organic beauty and design events with similar characteristics.

We were first drawn to the Sayulita/Punta de Mita area for the exact same reasons you are probably choosing to host an event here. The natural beauty is unparalleled. The mood is festive. It is the quintessential place to relax.

We want your experience planning a destination event to be exactly that – stress free, gorgeous and relaxed. Planning an unforgettable event is no easy task. You want an epic party, but there are endless details and considerations. We are here to provide you with creative support and guidance.

The value added when you hire us for your event, wedding or party:

- We have the skills to do it all - Planning, Design, Styling, DJing, Sound System Set Up, Sound Management

- We have years of professional experience – Lauren has deep knowledge of design as a former interior and prop stylist and Nick used to be a radio DJ.

- We have strong knowledge of the event & wedding industry both inside and outside of Mexico

- We source materials from both Mexico and the U.S. meaning that if you have a specific vision, we can deliver on it. We have personal relationships with a network of handpicked "vendors" - better described as artists, artisans and craftspeople to make sure that your event is uniquely your own.

- We can offer to be your bridge – between two different cultures and different concepts. We both speak Spanish.

- We are flexible and can tailor our services to your needs. We work on both a consultation and package basis. We work independently and together and offer discounts on our services when you book us together.

- We specialize in designing non-traditional weddings, bachelor/ette parties, birthday celebrations, family reunions, proposals, baby showers and creative events for small businesses and corporations.

Please use the contact form to inquire about your event's specific details and pricing.

BEYOND expectations

Lauren and her husband Nick are hands down amazing! We couldn't gush enough about them. Lauren is hands down the most organized and creative wedding planner that there is and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our wedding was beautiful and there were so many fantastic moments: from the food (people are still raving and tell me they are craving the tuna tartare cones), to the lanterns, the music....the list goes on and on. Further, in the middle of putting together our complicated wedding with 1,000 moving parts in the middle of the jungle, the day of our wedding I mentioned to Lauren offhand that my husband felt sick and she had a doctor there within 30 minutes. It saved the day. Nick was amazing and kept the party going all night. We feel so lucky to have found them and if you're looking for a wedding planner and/or a DJ - they should be your team.

dream wedding

The Nicoella team brought our dream wedding to life, hands down. Lauren and Nikki are the most accommodating and responsive team, and their eye for design was most appreciated (as that is a gene I was not gifted!!) . They made the planning process very easy and are so well connected with all the local vendors in the Sayulita area. From the time of identifying wedding venue options, local restaurants for our welcome reception, to the fun idea to run a theme of "wear white," the constant stream of suggestions and advisement around which selections make most sense for our desired vision was most helpful. Their onsite adjustments to weather unpredictability are also legendary. Our guests felt well taken care of, and there wasn't a finger to be lifted on any attendee's end.

It truly was a weekend that we've come to refer to as "the time of our lives" and are so grateful for Nicoella in helping to create this experience for us. To quote my now husband "Lauren and team have been worth every penny!!"

Number one wedding planner!!

Words can't express how incredible Lauren was to work with. She planned, designed, and executed the wedding of our dreams, while being professional, responsive, fun, and supportive every step of the way. I have plenty of girlfriends who have gotten married, and NONE have loved their wedding planners by the end of it. With Lauren, not only were my husband and I SO HAPPY but most of our guests were commenting to us on how amazing Lauren was.Lauren's style is brilliant, she had incredible relationships with all of the Sayulita vendors, and she works her magic when dealing with brides, mothers-of-brides, guests, grooms, you name it.I can't have imagined a more amazing wedding planner or a more magical wedding. Go with Nicoella!

Lauren & Nick- the PERFECT duo!

Oh. My. Goodness. I truly don’t know where to start or how to truly express my gratitude for choosing Nicoella to plan and DJ our big day. We had the pleasure of working directly with Lauren and Nick, as well as other members of their crew. A lady named Cina did all of our signage and the attention to details couldn’t have possibly been more perfect. We met with Lauren a couple times of times and communicated through email frequently. Although completely slammed with weddings all the time, she continued to stay timely and responsive.

Lauren completely picked up our vibe and created the most picture perfect wedding I could have ever imagined.

Nick was a perfect DJ! We sent him some playlists and he completely adopted them and vibed with our crowd, keeping the dance floor packed all night.

If you’re looking around- look no further. Go with Nicoella.

Best Wedding Set EVER!

I honestly can't express to you how awesome your set was at the wedding. I'm sure you could tell how into it we were! We were watching videos of us dancing to certain songs the next day! You really helped make this wedding memorable for me, Shannon, our family and friends and I will never be able to thank you enough!... You were the perfect DJ for our wedding and group. You're going to have to DJ the inevitable reunion!

Don’t look further!

Lauren and Nick are artists. There is no doubt about that. You can look at any of Nicoella's pictures and imagine them in a bridal magazine. (Or any design magazine for that matter) But more importantly, along with orchestrating beautiful events that pictures can capture, they create experiences that you will cherish. Trust me, I've been to the weddings where the bride and groom are stressed, working, or worried about details to ensure the night goes as planned. There was none of that. We enjoyed every single minute of every event, and I know that's because of Lauren and her team. Not to mention every recommendation Nicoella and their team gave us was completely spot on. Their preferred vendors are top notch. Don't look any further.

So happy to have hired the Nicoella Team

If you’re looking for a wedding planner in Sayulita, I highly recommend hiring the Nicoella team! I had complete trust in Lauren’s vision for the design of our wedding and all of the vendors she recommended. Leading up to the wedding, I felt completely prepared and at ease because Lauren had thought of every detail. The day of I kept thinking how I couldn’t have done it without her! The décor, lighting, lounge, table settings and flowers were dreamy and elegant.

Nick is an amazing DJ. He chose the perfect mix of songs to play during dinner to set the mood, then opened it up for the dance party.

The Second-best wedding decision I made

The SECOND-BEST wedding decision I made!The first-best wedding decision was choosing my partner, of course.The second-best was hiring Lauren to be our wedding planner. She is a highly-organized artist. She has systems and templates for everything and at the same time, makes you feel like you are a V.I.P.Every single detail in our wedding was taken care of, and Lauren more than paid for herself in getting us great rates and recommendations. Every single vendor she suggested was out of this world.To get the most out of Lauren's creativity, I think it's best to come to her with a good idea of what feelings and values you'd like your big day to evoke and then be open to her suggestions. You won't be disappointed.

The Best!!

We can not say enough about Nicoella! From our very first conversation all the way to our wedding day, Lauren & Nick were kind, supportive, understanding, patient and diligent.
Nick really understood what we wanted and like music-wise and our dance floor was non-stop, easily the most fun dance party I've ever been to (all of guests agree)!
Lauren got us & our style immediately and her taste is A+++! I felt right away that we were in good hands. We wanted everything to be EASY and stress free and Lauren delivered in a major way. Her demeanor and kindness made us, our family & friends feel happy and relaxed - if something went wrong, I certainly didn't notice (nothing went wrong, it was all perfect!)

On top of it all, Lauren and Nick are nice, genuine people. I could feel their genuine excitement and enjoyment throughout the entire process and we feel SO SO lucky that they made our dream day come true!!
I hope we can work together again one day.... 10, 5 or 1 year anniversary, perhaps? xx

We appreciate good company, good food and organic beauty.
