    I cannot say enough good things about Ryan and his partner Katie. They were hired last minute as my Day Of Coordinator when I broke down and realized I couldn't manage the wedding day on my own and needed a professional, and were worth every penny. I handed everything I had planned to that day to Ryan and he brought my vision over the finish line. I was actually able to enjoy my wedding day because he and Katie had things completely, utterly and totally under control. Would hire again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended!

    I was not the bride, but the maid of honor at a wedding this fall and have found my future wedding planner. Hope is the girl every bribe needs at her wedding. She made sure the day went flawlessly and that the two most important people could focus on their big day - the bride and groom! She was an amazing guide and help the entire way and kept the bride calm after not one, but two red wine incidents! I can not say enough about this amazing planner, and wonderful person. I was not there for the year of planning she spent with the Bride, but I heard nothing but great things about how Hope cultivated my best friends vision and dream for her big day and made it a reality. I cannot write enough thanks and gratitude in this review for get wonderful job she did. Hope is amazing and you would be lucky to have her as a part of your wedding.

    Hope was simply amazing. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. I opted for her full planning services and it was definitely more than worth the fee. She made my dream wedding possible on a budget. As a bride trying to plan a Colorado wedding from Oklahoma, she was absolutely indispensible. Many of the vendors that she recommended were ones that I was not able to find very easily and she saved me so much time in digging through countless vendors online. I would simply tell her what I was looking for in a particular vendor (style of photography, type of floral design, etc.) and she would provide four to five options in my price range that would be able to deliver exactly what I was looking for. Also, her background in design was invaluable. Hope came up with some truly original ideas that made my rough vision for my wedding into a beautiful and colorful event. In addition, she made the actual day of the wedding stress free. She took care of all of the logistics and I was able to just enjoy that special day with my friends and family. Bottom line is that my perfect wedding could not have happened without Hope. She made it possible. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone.

    My daughter planned her Denver wedding from Chicago and couldn't have done it without Hope's assistance. She said Hope kept her sane. I know she was very valuable with the planning and did most all of the leg work, especially scheduling and communicating with all the other vendors. I was very concerned about the "day-of" responsibilities, but Hope just told me not to worry about anything and she was so right. We enjoyed the morning downtown doing hair and make-up and arrived at the venue to see everything as perfect as my daughter had pictured it. She kept things moving all evening and at the end of the evening when we were all exhausted, all we had to do was go home. Hope made sure everything was cleared and boxed up everything to be returned to us. Through it all, Hope kept a clear head, took control and remained calm. Her manner, appearance and attitude remained very professional and I would highly recommend her services.

    Hope. What a perfect name. She really brought me hope through the whole wedding planning process. We could not have done this without her.
    I had been having some difficulties dealing with stress while planning my wedding long distance. Knowing we needed to bring in the big guns, my husband researched wedding coordinators and set us up with Hope. From our first phone conversation, she was able to put me at ease and give me invaluable advice and tips. Hope was able to help my husband and I fully realize the vision of our wedding and make it a reality.
    She makes sure that the bride and groom are the top priority and takes special care that we were able to enjoy our special day. She coordinated so much, from vendor deliveries and set-up, to crafting a time table for the big day. Hope's insight and experience are invaluable. Her professionalism and attention to detail were so reassuring. Most of all, she saved my sanity. No problem was unsolvable, no question was unanswerable. She took over communication with our vendors to make sure everything was going through her and saving me and my husband from having to answer a million different questions. Hope was always cheerful, responsive and so helpful.
    Our wedding was beautiful, went off flawlessly and a large part of that was due to Hope. I highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

    Hope was everything we had hoped for in a wedding planner and MORE. She was attentive, responsive and helped us to create the wedding of our dreams. She made sure everything went off without a hitch. She truly ensured that I was able to show up to my wedding and not be stressed about anything. She even made mid-reception alternations to my dress after someone stepped on it and ripped it! We can't even begin to imagine this process without her. Truly amazing and a steal for the price!

    Hope Schalck is worth her wait in gold -- and then some.

    This is coming from someone who was described at several stages in the wedding planning process as a groomzilla -- if ever there was one. And I'm sorry to say that Hope took the brunt of it. But I'm happy to say that she handled it beautifully.

    As a journalist, I'm a life-long skeptic. So when Hope made suggestions about vendors that conflicted with the grand scheme in my head, I assumed it was because she was getting kick-backs. This is the way of the wedding business, I told myself, because it's also typically the way of the world. I was so fervent in these beliefs, I even let Hope know as much.

    But as I looked into alternate vendors, however, I found more often than not that Hope was was making the suggestions she was making because, well, these actually were the best vendors.

    As it turns out, Hope has a wealth of experience and is meticulous in everything she does. That means not only has she worked with a huge deal of vendors in Colorado, she has kept comprehensive notes about what they do and don't do well. As a journalist, that sincerely impressed me.

    Hope's attention to detail also meant that come wedding day, everything ran like clockwork. As a groomzilla, that really put my mind -- and the mind of the amazing bride who puts up with me -- at ease.

    Speaking as someone who had a very clear and grand vision of what he wanted his wedding to be, let me just say that I can't imagine anyone doing a better job of bringing lofty expectations to life than Hope. We really can't thank her enough!

    Hope at the Wedding Studio Colorado was hands down amazing. There isn't a review that could accurately describe how perfectly she planned our day - she gave me/us the wedding of our dreams. I went into this not having much in mind for design, and her creativity kicked in managing to bring together two very diverse concepts: modern AND vintage. The result was the most unique, gorgeous wedding with incredible details that our guests are still talking about. More so, she took the stress out of wedding planning - she handled every detail with ease and made it so that we only had each other to focus on, which was a wonderful relief. She was warm and infectious with her excitement to plan the perfect day for us - I can't thank her enough for such an unforgettable day. She's the best!

    Nothing but a 100% great experience working with Hope. She did an amazing job with our wedding from just providing vision and planning all the way to execution the day of. She had EVERYTHING under control and made the day so easy for my new wife and I to enjoy. Her guidance through small issues was so helpful and tactfully done. I can't say enough about how good Hope is.

    Hope was an integral and incredible part of our wedding planning. She understood our vision from the beginning and did everything she could to see that I got the kind of day my husband and I were looking for. I have no idea how much work she put in behind the scenes, but the lead up to our wedding day was relatively stress-free and the wedding day was perfect. Everything went smoothly. We know that Hope was a huge part of that. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner (either just 'day of' or the full package). She went above and beyond anything we expected. She is a true professional and a wonderful person.

    Hope's excellent organization, problem solving, confidence and positivity resulted in a near flawless ceremony and reception. We could not be happier with her services, and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Hope!

    I cannot recommend The Wedding Studio Colorado enough. Hope is a dream to work with and the best decision my husband and I made as an engaged couple. We sought out Hope directly after getting engaged since my husband was deploying to Afghanistan in two weeks and I was about to begin my first year teaching. Neither of us felt it would be wise for me to plan the wedding on my own with him gone. However, in hindsight, even if he hadn't left, we still would not have been able to create even a fraction of the dream wedding Hope delivered us. She was consistently professional and helpful and she never ceased to advocate for me with all vendors. Even when I was too shy to share my thoughts or unclear on my vision, Hope stepped in and was able to convey my desires for the wedding. She gave us the gift of enjoying our engagement, and not getting bogged down with stresses or details. The wedding day was completely seamless, whatever went wrong (as I'm sure something did), my husband and I were never the wiser. We were able to soak in and enjoy every moment of the day, as well as the 365 days before. Hope is exactly the type of person you want to surround yourself with during your engagement. She is thoughtful, focused, insightful, and incredibly joyful. She enhanced every aspect of our engagement and wedding. I cannot thank her enough!!!

    My husband and I decided early on we wanted to work with a wedding coordinator, and we were incredibly blessed to have found Hope at The Wedding Studio! We contracted with Hope to provide day-of coordination and added a design and consultation package. We chose to work with Hope because she not only has an extensive knowledge of the wedding industry, she has an interior design background and I wanted help with pulling together the overall look of the day.

    During the planning phase, she recommended all of my vendors, she met with me for many vendor meetings, including the stationer, linen rentals, florist, cake baker and venue to make sure everything would come together beautifully. She always gave her honest opinion of what would look good and what wouldn’t. She has an eye for design and is very detail-oriented. She always made me feel like I was her only bride (even though I know that I wasn’t), as she was so attentive and responsive.

    My husband and I love to travel, and Hope created the vision and theme for the day. She designed our “brand”, which we used on our invitations, programs, seating chart, custom cornhole game, photobooth strips, and even our cake!

    On the day-of, she was a godsend! Not only did she coordinate set up of the ceremony and reception sites, she was on hand for me at a moment’s notice if I needed her. I was not feeling well at one point and she quickly pulled out some medication for me; my brother’s tuxedo jacket had a button fall off and she pinned it back on immediately; she herded guests into the ceremony site when they arrived early and caught us during family photos.

    When all was said and done, my wedding was absolutely stunning!! So many of my guests told me how much fun it was and how beautiful it was. One friend told me it was like a fairy tale. I owe it all to Hope because I could not have pulled off such an incredible event without her. She is simply amazing!!


    We love you, Hope!

    Choosing Hope to be our day of coordinator for our wedding was the best decision we made for our wedding! She was extremely organized, professional, detailed, and very knowledgable about weddings. She was there every step of the way to answer all and any questions I had. By time the wedding day arrived I was so relaxed and was able to enjoy my morning of getting pampered with my closest friends & family knowing that Hope had everything under control (and she did - she helped set up & execute our wedding to perfection & everyone had an amazing time and I owe most of that to her!) Hope went above and beyond our expectations as a day of wedding coordinator & I would highly recommend her to all future brides!

    Hiring Hope from The Wedding Studio was the best decision we made during our wedding planning! Hope is one of the sweetest, most genuine people we've ever met. She truly cared about every aspect of our wedding being everything that we wanted it to be. She listened so well and made sure that everything was unique to our personalities and style. She has a great sense of style and design and came up with amazing ideas to make our wedding personalized and memorable. Hope found us many great deals that we definitely would not have found on our own. She responded to phone calls and emails very quickly throughout the entire year of our wedding planning and always made us feel like our wedding was important. Her enthusiasm for our special day made everything that much more special. The entire wedding planning experience was so much fun and worry free because of her! She took care of everything on the day of the wedding down to the last detail so we could enjoy the day with our family and friends and be completely stress free. We really can't say enough great things about Hope! The perfect day and all of the special details we had imagined in our minds wouldn't have come to life without Hope!
