Owner / Principal Planner
A Houston, Texas native, I was born loving weddings and planned my first one as a 3-year-old (see photo insert). Those pink, plastic flowers and white, crocheted baby blankets made for glorious wedding attire and decor and were brought out almost daily for my driveway celebrations. Fortunately for today's happy clients, my design technique matured, and plastic flowers gave way to real blooms; baby blankets became silk, satin and lace and driveways are now dance floors.
Currently, I live in Nashville, TN with my husband and our two dogs - Cool Ranch and Smokey BBQ (Yep, for real!). We love to travel and have made it to 48 of the 50 states (discounts offered for special occasions happening in Oregon or Alaska!)
I've planned events for small companies and major corporations, and of course weddings. For more than a decade, I've let my clients' love stories capture my imagination, and in return, I've done my best to deliver their favorite days, whether they happen at a resort, in a backyard or inside an event center. There's just something about a couple, a love story and a celebration that takes me right back to sunny afternoons with pink, plastic flowers.

"From our smallest details to our biggest moments, Nancy was with us every step of the way. Everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and intention - all while keeping the process stress free for us. On our wedding day, everything came together so seamlessly, and we were able to just be present and celebrate. If you're looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, we can't recommend Nancy and The Mansfield Collective enough!" — Gracelyn
Southern Tennessee Resort Wedding
"The idea of planning an extravagant fantasy wedding in the middle of the Covid-19 shutdown was very intimidating; Nancy somehow made it all look easy. When our photographer dropped out less than 24 hours before the wedding, Nancy quickly identified a backup, and our day was not only everything we had hoped it would be, it was documented. Our friends and family still talk about what a unique and enjoyable day it was." - Bulatt
