We're so excited to share with you pictures from a gorgeous wedding we completed on June 26, 2010. The couple, Ben and Amanda, were so awesome! They were so great to work with from day one. Amanda and Ben trusted us wholeheartedly, especially considering they were planning a NJ wedding from TX!
After understanding their vision, wants and needs, we were able to collaborate and create a beautiful, outdoor summer wedding in a historic park!

Who's Justin @ NLE?
Justin, my biz partner and real-life husband, is just as much involved in "NLE" as I am. Some know him as "the straight guy with the queer eye!" because of his quality as a wedding and special event coordinator.
Some of you were really intrigued by him and wanted to learn more about who he is, etc., so we've compiled 5 questions for him to answer!
Q: Justin, why did you decide to be Gabriela's partner with No Limit Events LLC?
A: Well in all honesty, the timing was perfect for me. As a finish carpenter in these "trying economic times," it really set me back and made things difficult not landing consistent jobs. When Gabriela and I began talking about the formation of "NLE," that's when I realized I could apply all my carpentry skills for our new start up.
Q: What exactly do you offer NLE clients and the company in general?
A: Great question. My background as a finish carpenter means that my attention to detail is serious. I don't overlook anything and am extremely neat and organized. My professional title with NLE is "Wedding and Special Event Coordinator, Custom Fabricator." As Gabriela's coordinator and counterpart, we back each other up. I'm well versed in wedding and party etiquette, typical set ups, dealing with vendors, etc. I also directly support grooms when they have "guy" questions, need bachelor party ideas, groomsmen gift ideas, etc.
Q: So, what do you really think of David Tutera? LOL
A: Actually I think he's a real good guy! He's got brides wrapped around his little finger with his charming, likeable and trustable personality. Not to sound "soft" or anything, but I definitely admire his character. He knows what he can offer clients and follows through - I try to do the same!
Q: Do you attend weddings/special events with Gabriela?
A: Yes. While behind the scenes, I'm working with vendors to make sure set ups and itineraries are right on point. For some events I need to fabricate certain decorations or items and assemble them on site. Depending on the site of the event, we may bring additional staff with us to an event and other times (when it's really intimate/small), it's just us!
Q: It seems like most guys dread wedding prep-work or party-planning of any kind! How do you deal with that?
A: It's funny actually because many times grooms for example just feel so intimidated by their significant other that they just back down and refuse to speak up. (They probably don't want to release the "Bridezilla" that may be in you! I'm only saying...) I'm there to get them involved, even if only a little, by saying, "Hey! Ya know, is there anything you would want to see incorporated or done differently?"
Some brides give me a weird look at first if I say this in front of them, but are quickly surprised to hear the comments from their other half! (Note: Not all grooms are just thinking about the bachelor party!) Even if it's a weird suggestion or something that's entirely not possible, at least they feel heard. Trust me, even that feels good as a guy!
