From the moment I first met Alexis until the day of my wedding she always conducted herself and her business with an impeccable level of professionalism and grace. She was extremely organized, insightful, creative, and an all around go-getter when it came to tackling problems and working with my vendors. Although she was only contracted as a day-of coordinator, Alexis went above and beyond and offered me valuable advice throughout my entire wedding planning journey. In fact, of all of the vendors I used for my wedding, the ones recommended by Alexis turned out to be the most reliable, the easiest to work with, and the ones that produced the best product overall. Looking back and reflecting on all of the added value Alexis brought to the table--including her strong work ethic and her positive relationships with vendors--I should've hired her services full time! I found Imagine Events through a recommendation and would recommend their services to anyone else in a heartbeat. I truly could not have pulled off my amazing wedding day without Alexis Kolpak!

I felt like we were in very good hands throughout the entire process. Alexis also suggested several talented vendors that executed the event flawlessly. I would highly recommend Imagine Events to others. Thanks, Alexis!

From planning to coordination, they held our hands and completely delivered on each stage of the process. I would recommend Five Grain for any event, words can not express how thankful we were to have found them. While my bride was the MVP of our wedding, Emily was a close runner-up. Five Grain Events is the best in the game. 5 stars. I might not be married without the work they put into our wedding. Could not recommend more.

She was sincere and I saw her going out of her way to do make sure this event was a success and that her client was happy. Michelle was looking out for everything, I was impressed by that. She wanted thier vision to come to life and tirelessly made things happen for a successful event. Even before the event, she communicated with us and shared details for a successful event. Michelle is truly unique - someone who is so attentive to her clients while maintaining a pleasurable working experience with vendors. You won't be sorry hiring her!

Working with Monica of MJM Occasions was such an incredible experience from beginning to end. We…read morereached out to plan a workshop for my wife's birthday and from filling out the inquiry form, to all the communications in between then and the event, to the day of, Monica went above and beyond every step of the way. She was always so interested in all the details that would make my wife feel special and I always felt her care, thoughtfulness and excitement throughout the process. Monica even went as far as to connecting with other vendors to help surprise her with a dessert she loved. The day of, Monica seriously thought of everything. Her and her lead designer, Connie, arrived early and were so efficient in setting everything up in our space. Not only was every detail you can think of covered (eg. napkins, utensils/plates, ice, drinks, fruit, custom cookies!, bluetooth speaker!) all beautifully laid out in addition to linens on the tables, beautiful flowers for our group to work with, vases for each of us as well as all the materials we'd need for the class AND after care instructions. Any time I tried thinking of what I could help with, they both had it covered. And the actual class? The perfect balance of guidance, education and creative freedom to have so much fun. Also, they're both great storytellers and kept the laughs and vibes going the entire time. I cannot rave about Monica and Connie enough. My wife is still telling stories about this experience weeks later and I am so happy they've been doing workshops in addition to their wedding and event work. Our entire group left feeling so happy and inspired to keep gathering flowers to play around with in their own homes. Thank you so much Monica and Connie!

What can we say? Tajalli (owner and operator of The Petal) is one of a kind. She was an absolute…read morepleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process. She made beautiful table arrangements, centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. She has a real talent for this job. You can count yourself lucky to have Tajalli and the rest of The Petal team working for you at your event. Highly recommended.

Hiring Courtney as my day of coordinator was easily one of the best decisions (out of the hundreds)…read moreI made for this wedding. I don't even want to think about how things would have gone without her. From our first phone consultation I knew she would be perfect. She was so helpful and detailed without being overbearing like so many other seemed to be. As soon as we chose her, Courtney sent us this spreadsheet that organizes EVERYTHING. Every little detail gets accounted for in this thing, including a complete timeline, info for all the vendors, and everyone else involved. She brought up all these different details and moving parts that I never would have thought about and planned for. When the wedding got closer (like 1.5 months away) we met up and she also became my therapist! The wedding stress was REAL. We stayed in close contact from then until the wedding week, with her helping me coordinate all the little details and giving me advice on how to make everything as easy as possible. She also became the point of contact for all my vendors so I did not have to worry about anything or talk to anyone that final week. When it came to the day before, Courtney came to our rehearsal and made sure everything was organized and good to go, meeting all the parents, grandparents, wedding party, etc and letting everyone know that she was the point of contact for everything. On the wedding day she was a SAINT. She came to our hotel where all the gals got ready, steamed our dresses, coordinated delivery of flowers, kept us on schedule, etc. She also was going to to our reception venue to help set everything up! I gave her instructions of how everything should be set up (a lot of it I brought in myself so the venue doesn't set it up) and it looked so amazing beyond everything I had pictured. Somehow between the hours of her helping us get ready, getting us to the church, and the ceremony she managed to put together dozens of floral arrangements, set up signs, and light hundreds of candles. She helped manage everything throughout the night, making sure I was able to eat (she had saved a whole tray of appetizers for the wedding party since we came later than everyone else from photos), she adjusted our timeline when I needed to make updates, she set up all of our favors (100 of them!) while everyone was eating, and she was basically just a flawless angel there to save the day. I did not have one hiccup or issue with the wedding (that I know of!) because Courtney handled and took care of any issue. She was the best decision ever and I can't thank her enough. My day was absolutely perfect and I know it would not have been if it weren't for her. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

We hired Courtney as our day-of wedding coordinator for our wedding this past Saturday, and she…read moredefinitely delivered to our expectations. One thing that I really appreciated about her was how responsive she was to communications. It angers me when I email or text someone that I'm doing business with and I don't hear from them for days on end. Courtney was very prompt with her responses, and that helped me to trust that she would also be responsive to my needs at the wedding. Also, don't let the term Day-Of coordinator fool you. From the day we signed the contract, she was there to answer questions and give advice and feedback on what steps we should be taking with our wedding planning. When the wedding day came, she was at our disposal for the entire day. She helped decorate the venue, she made sure everything went smoothly throughout the night, made sure the vendors were doing their jobs correctly, and overall acted as a liaison between us, our vendors, and our guests. We didn't have to do anything except enjoy the night! I would definitely recommend Bollo Hollow for day-of wedding coordination services.

Norah is the coolest and was a joy to work with for our May 2026 wedding. We met Norah on a zoom…read morecall and later had 2-3 other calls to gather details and talk through the flow of the day. We contracted her as both our DJ and photobooth operator. In the months leading up to our wedding, Norah gave us access to a digital platform called Vibo DJ to add songs directly from Spotify/Apple Music, which made plugging in playlists a breeze. The platform also provided a loose timeline for the day/what song is played when, which was very helpful. The day of, Norah arrived on time and kept the good vibes going! She proactively managed the potential echo in our venue (which had vaulted ceilings). The photobooth was a hit with guests, Norah provided a backdrop, the camera, printed photo strips, as well as a guest book for guests to tape in photos/write notes. Norah's personality was what sold us. She was easy-going, kind, and so fun to talk to! She went above and beyond for us, even offering to mix a Father/Daughter dance mashup for us. We always looked forward to speaking with her throughout the planning process. If you are looking for a DJ for your event, Norah is your girl!

Norah from Modern Love is amazing! On our very first zoom call with her, it was clear how fun and…read morequirky she is AND that she understood and appreciated my husband's sense of humor and music taste! She made sure to work in some of his goth-y requests while still maintaining the pop-y, danceable music I requested! The little welcome gift Norah mailed us was too cute! And her draft schedule for the wedding day flow was really helpful. On the actual wedding day, Norah was perfection! The music was exactly what we hoped it would be, the vibes were impeccable, and the dance floor was packed all night! We loved working with Norah! Highly recommend!!

Hiring Dean was the smartest decision we made during our wedding. We weren't sure if we would need…read morea planner/coordinator, because I was an event planner myself, but we really did! She coached us through the entire process, bringing up all kinds of details that we just hadn't thought of. She was so thorough, making sure every little thing was the way it should be. She allowed us to relax at our wedding, and the week before and after, which was invaluable. The thing that is a lot different about Dean than other wedding planners I've experienced is that even though she is meticulous and totally on top of everything, she is ALSO laid back! She is fun to be around, and ends up being a charming asset at your event, all the while ensuring that absolutely everything is exactly on schedule. She is really good with all kinds of people, so if you have difficult guests, she will handle it all like magic. She's open to all types of events and weddings and is very creative and fun. Dean has skills in a lot of areas (she's incredible with interior design as well as fashion) so you get a lot more than just a coordinator--you get a creative helper/advisor. I just can't say enough good things about her. If you think wedding coordinators are too much effort or stuffy or weird, Dean's going to blow your mind and probably become your new best friend. She will coach you through the whole thing and take so much of the pressure off. Hiring her is a really great investment!

I cannot say enough good things about Dean. She was our wedding planner last fall. It was an…read moreincredible, special, and beautiful day. I can honestly say that I was able to relax and not feel stressed out on our wedding day, and I owe that mostly to Dean. She is organized, reliable, super creative, and extremely talented. Did I feel stressed out at all during the wedding planning? Of course. Did Dean feel like a life saver at various points during the process? Absolutely. She is very calm and collected, and constantly provided me with the reassurance necessary; every time after I talked with her (which was often), I immediately felt at ease and my stress levels lowered. Knowing that she was on top of everything alleviated a lot of pressure for me, allowing me to enjoy the engagement more. She is also really crafty and able to work within a budget. She has great ideas for how to get things done on a dime - and she makes everything look really amazing. She truly knows style and fashion, which proved to be extremely helpful. I felt like our wedding was us; she took the time to learn what we were looking for, and then created an event that matched our personalities perfectly, in a BEAUTIFUL way. If you're in the market for someone to plan your wedding or any other event, I would strongly recommend Dean. Trust me - you will be so glad you went with her.
