Holly and her team were amazing to work with! My husband and I are SO happy that we chose HKW to plan and coordinate our wedding day at Kona Kai. Before the wedding, Holly was helpful with providing tools, checklists, and resources for us to use to help with the planning process. She was available to answer questions and give suggestions leading up to the wedding. Once the wedding day got closer, we had an in-depth meeting and she created a detailed timeline for the wedding day. Her attention to detail is strong and she is clearly so experienced and knows everything you need to think of for your wedding. Holly has great relationships with all of the wedding vendors in San Diego so all of our other vendors (DJ, florist, photographer, venue, etc.) knew her and were happy to communicate and coordinate with her prior to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, everything went according to plan and I truly felt like I could relax and enjoy the day without worrying about coordinating all the details. As a bride, that calmness and peace of mind is something I'm so grateful for. Robin and Holly were both so attentive, making sure things were going smoothly. Anyone getting married in the San Diego area would be lucky to work with Holly and her team, as they truly bring an unparalleled level of experience, professionalism, and service to your wedding!

We found Holly through the recommended vendor list from our venue (Kona Kai). The venue required at least a day-of coordinator, we wanted someone who has worked with our venue before, and I also wanted to explore getting a little bit more help than just day-of support. After doing initial inquiry calls with her and a couple other planners/coordinators, my choice was super easy to make. It was like a goldilocks moment, some planners too easy going and some too aggressive in their style, Holly was JUST RIGHT! I could tell from the beginning that she’d listen to us and what we wanted but also give suggestions or alternative ideas to help everything come together perfectly. After discussing the various offerings she provides, we went with a partial-planning package to get the extra support we were looking for. She did such an amazing job helping us narrow down all the vendors we needed and after each suggestion I trusted her more and more. She helped us find a DJ, florist, hair and makeup, lighting/drapery, etc. There are SO many wedding vendors out there, so having her trusted suggestions and that she knew would match our style, personality, and were available on our date was SO helpful and made going from day-of coordinator to partial planning SO worth it. She was always easy to communicate with, responding in a timely fashion and answering all of my questions. Her checklists and support resources kept me feeling confident that I was on track. She also has a graphic design team that helped us create all of our signage which was a huge help!!
When it came to the rehearsal and day-of coordination, Holly was phenomenal and I got positive feedback from our parents, bridal party, and everyone who was a key part of the day. She managed to wrangle our fun-loving (and sometimes not so good at listening) bridal party to practice the ceremony enough times that we all felt great about it but it wasn’t too much and didn’t take too long. She knew exactly how to prompt us all through it. The day-of the wedding, I had NO stress (and this is saying a lot as I am a chronically stressed person by nature) because I was so confident that Holly and her team and our amazing vendor team that she helped us to curate was going to make everything perfect and it was! Everything was set up beautifully and she was quick to respond and manage any last-minute details or concerns.
I would highly recommend hiring Holly for partial planning if you’re anything like me – have a vision but not sure how to execute it, want some help but mainly want to eliminate stress from planning, COULD do it yourself but don’t WANT to do it all yourself, and if you want to have an amazing wedding where you can TRULY ENJOY the entire day because you know it is taken care of.
THANK YOU HOLLY!!

Holly was incredible! She was so organized and made sure our entire wedding ran smoothly. As a bride I knew everything was handled and I could just focus on enjoying the day. She was great with details, communicated well with us and our vendors and we were so happy with how the day went. I would definitely recommend her for any couple planning a wedding in San Diego!
