Our Team

Meet Nicola + Levar

​

We believe God gives each of us gifts with the responsibility to steward them well, serve others, and operate in excellence. That belief is at the heart of why we started Set Apart Events & Designs.

 

Nicola’s background in clinical laboratory science brings precision, discipline, and an unwavering attention to detail, while Levar’s craftsmanship and ability to build with his hands bring custom ideas to life. Together, we’ve built Set Apart around a standard of excellence in design, fabrication, and production.

 

For us, it goes beyond creating beautiful spaces. It’s about using our God-given gifts with purpose, executing every detail with excellence, and giving our clients the freedom to walk into their celebration, experience the joy of seeing their vision realized, and simply breathe.

The Set Apart Story

“You were set apart from the rest.”

​

Those words stayed with Nicola, reminding her to honor her gifts and create work that is distinctly her own. Whispered by a mentor, they inspired the name Set Apart Events & Designs. Today, that same sense of purpose shapes every celebration she creates.
