We were definitely one of those painful events as we were scheduled in 2020 and had to reschedule and replan multiple times due to Covid-19 challenges, and Lauren never dropped the ball. She made my life easier in planning our wedding reception and felt more like a friend than a vendor. We could not speak more highly of them or the event they coordinated for us. We had the best time.

During the time in between, she continued to check in to see what we needed and how she could help. Flash forward to the event: She and her team were exceptional at managing and organizing all vendors, timelines, and set-up, and break-down. She made everything so easy, and most importantly - she kept us calm and unaware of everything chaotic that was happening behind the scenes. We would be THRILLED to work with Lauren's team again, and highly recommend Hourglass!

I called Jolene at 2pm on the day of my November evening event. It was super cold out and I needed…read moreheaters and blankets to make an important meeting comfortable. I deal with a lot of vendors and I knew my same-day request (on a Saturday no less) would probably be met with cranky "not possible in the timeline" responses. Instead, I met Jolene on the other end of the phone. What a warm and positive person! She immediately took on my problems with grace and alacrity. She not only solved the heaters and blanket asks but also added so many details that I would never have thought of. Baskets to hold the blankets. Blankets tied with twine. Additional black napkins in case someone was wearing a dark outfit. Found local wines and beers. Just extremely thoughtful in everything she did. My event was not big or expensive. I'm from out of town so I'm probably not a repeat client (wish I could be!). And I had a very last minute weekend request. And Jolene pulled through 110%. I would trust her to plan just about anything. You'll be in the best hands.

My fiancé and I…read moreare eloping to Colorado in May and we're trying to find an officiant that would work with is on thumbtack. I contacted the company and spoke to the Reverend, talked about pricing and other things in the package. I was told before I hung up the phone that I would have a copy of the contract in my email by the following Saturday, and to contact her if there was any problem. I did not receive the contract, therefore I left many voicemails and emails trying to figure out what was going on. I was repeatedly blown off, so much so that at one point someone answered the phone and then hung up on me! I think that this company scams people and they are not legitimate. I was incredibly disappointed with the service and thought very little of everyone at the company. STEER CLEAR.

WOW. Abbey was…read moreINCREDIBLE and a total VISIONARY! Not only did she create a STUNNING design board that led all of the creative/design meetings with vendors; But she took a "feeling" that I had of "romantic, moody, fall" and TURNED IT INTO AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WEDDING. It was so special to see her ability to hear the vague words and create my perfect vision for my day that all of our guests commented was "so Ashli and Brad." On top of being a design queen, she also wrangled my bridal party and vendors and kept us on track day of (really month of, I did mostly nothing). She even got us caught up timeline-wise when I was about half an hour late to the venue! I cannot recommend Abbey enough. She is an absolute delight.

Her presence removed a considerable amount of stress in an obviously stressful time. The wedding weekend was everything we hoped for and then some, in significant part thanks to Abbey. We couldn't be happier that we hired her!

Ann did a fantastic job presenting the countless number of wedding invitation options, and she made an effort to understand exactly what we wanted our wedding invitation suite to look like. Ann ensured that the execution of the order was 100% accurate, and that the order delivered was on-time, and of high-quality. The ordering process was seamless, and the product came out exactly as we envisioned. We are extremely pleased with the value that working with Cloud9 yielded - the pricing was very competitive, and the service was exceptional. Ann promptly addressed any questions and/or concerns, and was very easy to work with. Also, Cloud 9 arranged for creation of a custom graphic that became the "logo/brand" for our wedding day!! We hired Ann again for rights to the custom graphic, and used the art work on mostly all of our wedding signage including our escort cards, seating chart, welcome sign, and guest book which created a balanced and cohesive design. Also, I should note that my husband and I wanted to send the invitations out a few weeks earlier than the typical wedding invitation time frame so that our out of town guests had adequate time to make travel arrangements. To ensure our requested delivery date, Ann arranged to have the invitations hand delivered to our home!! As a result, the invitations were mailed out exactly when we wanted them to be!!

If you are looking for a FANTASTIC wedding planner, Elise of Revel & Bloom is your gal! She was…read moreamazing to work with and handled everything down to the last detail of our daughter's recent wedding in Aspen, CO. (May 29, 2021). Elise was both professional and personal. Our daughter and her fiance' are from Texas and my husband and I live in Arkansas, but were planning a wedding in Colorado. We knew nothing about venues, vendors, etc. She was up front and honest about costs and really did a great job at landing exactly where she had indicated we would. No big surprises. In our opinion she is the best of the best and truly made our experience a magnificent one from beginning to end! The best of the best!!!

We had an awful experience with Elise. We decided to hire Revel + Bloom because they were referred…read moreto us by a mutual friend, but quickly discovered that Elise capitalizes on designs from other event planners and rarely offers original ideas. Her most quoted line is "this is what I've done in the past, so it should work for you". When we challenged her to personalize our wedding to our tastes, she quoted us an increased price, which we agreed to, and we still only received a "mood board" with images that we had previously sent to Elise. As the wedding got closer, her support dwindled and we heard from Elise less and less, leading up to Elise walking away from our wedding the week before it took place (with all of our money). Our team of wedding vendors were shocked at how poorly we had been treated and asked us to let others know. If you want a rinse and repeat wedding, you could consider hiring Elise, but I would highly encourage you to look elsewhere and hire a planner that genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience based on what you dream of, instead of recycling what Elise has taken credit for in the past.
