Thanks to Paper Heart Events my wedding day was flawless!!

Holly and Kalen are absolutely amazing. Paper Heart events are the best at what they do. My wedding was flawless and ran without any issues. I had no worries or stress and was able to just enjoy the day. They helped me through every step and communication was so simple and efficient. Even my mother was blown away by their efficiency. I would recommend them to anyone!

Wedding Planner - Kalen

Kalen was absolutely amazing! The wedding would not have gone as smoothly without her. She was always on top of things and had figured out issues before I even had time to message her! I highly recommend Kalen Lewis to plan anyones wedding!

Highly recommend Paper Heart Events!

Holly helped make my wedding day so perfect! I'm a perfectionist and type-A personality, and Holly made me feel so at ease that everything would be taken care of. I still can't believe how beautiful our wedding was and how well it all came together. I was able to completely relax on my wedding day knowing that Holly had everything under control. On top of everything, she helped organize and clean up all of our ceremony decorations, so when it was all over there was minimal clean up for us to do - so thoughtful! I am so glad we chose Holly!

Best Wedding Ever!

We were married this August at the Adamson House in Malibu and Holly did an amazing job at our wedding. She was organized, efficient and knowledgeable. She was the best investment we made with the wedding and couldn't have done it without her. We planned our wedding from out of town and she always made us feel at ease after talking with her. The rehearsal and day of the wedding went smoothly and we had a perfect day thanks to Holly. From our first phone chat with her we knew we were in the right hands. Holly went out of her way on more than one occasion to help us and certainly beyond the call of duty. If you're considering a wedding planner at all, for any aspect of planning or the day of, then look no further. I wish we could relive it over again! Highly recommended! Thanks Holly - Mark and Tara

Put your mind at ease. Your special day is in the best hands.

Not every wedding needs a full-on planner, but every wedding should consider hiring a day of coordinator. And if you are looking for someone to entrust your special day to, Paper Heart Events is the group you should work with. We worked with Holly for most of the process; scheduling, planning, making sure we have everything we will need for the wedding day. And you don’t realize how much goes into a wedding, until someone like Holly hands you a checklist of all the things you should think about. She was prepared for everything and helped guide us to make some very smart decisions regarding the details of the wedding. A few weeks before the big day, Holly let us know that she would be at another event, so she would have her assistant Chloe handle our wedding. We were a little hesitant at first because we hadn’t worked with her at all up until this point and wasn’t sure how ready she would be to take on our event. Any hesitation we might have had was put at ease immediately the day of the wedding. Chloe was on point with every detail. Every minute of that wedding she was ready for. We didn’t have to lift a finger for anything. If something needed to be done, Chloe was on it. She even mailed out our wedding license for us while we whisked ourselves away on our honeymoon. You always tend to hear about some of the things that go wrong at weddings, but our wedding, was perfect. And we believe a lot of that is due to the love and care Holly and Chloe took with one of the best days of my life. Marrying my best friend couldn’t have been more perfect with anyone else running things behind the scenes.

We couldn't have managed without Holly!

Holly is incredible and anyone is lucky to have her as their wedding planner/coordinator. From our first skype interview I knew she was the right planner for me and I looked no further! Holly is incredibly detailed, thoughtful and resourceful, as a type A bride she really made me feel at peace, I have a hard time trusting anyone with work I could be doing myself but with Holly I had zero concerns! Nothing went wrong the day of my wedding, it was perfect!! Holly handled a big wedding with many elements and was there morning until very late. She managed all of the little details I wanted seamlessly. All of her prep documents were incredibly helpful, and made me think of several things we hadn't even thought of. Holly is also very sweet and I was sad to no longer have daily correspondence with her. This woman and her team is amazing!!

Holly is a daymaker and a hero.


I should have written this review a long time ago, as we're coming up on our first anniversary, but actually my opinion of Holly has only grown in the year since our wedding. I never planned to have a coordinator/planner - I was always excited for the planning and the binders and doing it myself, and saving the money seemed like a perk. Another one of our vendors encouraged me to contact Holly anyway, and I am SO glad I did. It was the single smartest thing we did for the entire event, and is now a legend among our families.

From the first conversation, Holly was very real and transparent with us. She was factual and honest, but never pushed us to do anything any differently than we wanted. She was very respectful of our ideas, offering suggestions and potential complications we hadn't considered, but also enthusiastically supporting the things that mattered to us. She was organized while being human and relatable, a combination that's crucial for anyone associated with the wedding.

I was not stressed at my wedding. I know not everyone can say that, but honestly, so many guests commented on how calm and happy I seemed that day (and I am NOT a "calm" person), and it was because I knew Holly had it. From the moment we handed off all our decor to her the day before after the rehearsal that she ran like a well oiled machine (even though our dog was the ring bearer), we just got to enjoy ourselves. Everything was handled at every turn - everything was in its place, she handled the details I hadn't even thought of, the decor was set up perfectly, no one was late or missing - she even made sure there was no drama, which is above and beyond her job. The venue cut our cake early, and I don't know what magic Holly worked but there was a cake cutting and it was a great story instead of a total disaster. She also didn't do any of this in a bossy or intrusive way - if you weren't our family or wedding party, you wouldn't even have known she was there.

There have been several weddings in our family since ours, and at literally every one people have commented on how great Holly was at ours, and how smoothly everything went. She absolutely MADE our wedding, and I am eternally grateful.

I can't say enough about how much I recommend Holly's services. In fact, I would venture to say that if you're reading this review and trying to decide whether or not to hire her, you need to stop right now and just do it, because Holly is the superwoman of all wedding coordinators. Looking back on our wedding from 3.24.18, I honestly can't fathom how we could have made it successful without her. She is extremely professional and very, very knowledgeable - she made so many useful recommendations for us with both vendors and setup, and it took about 90% of the stress off my shoulders just knowing I had her on my team to provide input and guidance. She's incredibly organized as well. She made sure we stayed as close to our timeline as possible, and everything went so smoothly - many members of my bridal party, who are all recently married and/or have been in numerous weddings, were extremely impressed with her. I actually met Holly when I was in my best friend's wedding back in 2016 and she was their coordinator. When I saw her in action, I knew I had to have her for my wedding too. Best decision I made (besides marrying my husband of course). Holly, we cannot thank you enough for making our day the best day it could possibly be. You're a rock star. THANK YOU!!!

Ask yourself this: why do you want a coordinator? What are they supposed to do that you couldn’t (or shouldn’t) do by yourself? If keeping all tasks organized and providing peace of mind on wedding day is anything resembling your answer, look no further than Holly. We opted for the “month of” package, which we found to be the perfect combination of do-it-yourself spirit (for us) and professional organization (by Holly), all at a very reasonable price compared to other planners we researched in the area. Holly simply has a knack for event planning. She was more than willing to answer questions in the months leading up to the wedding, and was a kind-yet-firm guiding hand in the weeks prior. Finally, on the big day itself, Holly shines brightest. She was an admirable blur of motion at the wedding, determined to take care of things away from the spotlight so that we could kick back and enjoy ourselves (on her insistence, we even got to enjoy a delicious plate of food in peace!). It was an absolute pleasure to work with Holly at every step; would highly recommend.

HOLLY! = WONDERFUL! Best investment we made for our New Years Eve Wedding 12.31.17!

In short, we had a relatively quick engagement.
July-Dec 31. (5 months). EEkKKK!

I am a nurse & was recently hired on for two new jobs. Therefore, I had limited time to do the "heavy lifting." (Picking out vendors DJ, Floral, Transportation, Make-up Team, etc.) We already had the venue but I needed someone to steer the way for me! Timelines, Deadlines, Payments, Scheduling, picking trusty vendors, etc. (Esp since we were married on a holiday).

Holly truly has the most WONDERFUL PICK of 805, 301, 818 Vendors! EVERY single company she recommended was WONDERFUL! They were so easy to work with, kind, happy, made my experience so fun.

Additionally, I am an extremely detailed person. Therefore, I liked holding the reins for things like invitations, specialty napkins, cups, New Years Eve Garb, specialty desserts, cake topper, our photo booth, meals, etc.

However, when it comes to hosting a 170+ party you REALLY need someone who understands your vision, thinks 5 steps ahead of you, and can handle LOTS of personalities, drunks, and possible chaos!

As the BRIDE, I can truly say she kept ALL of the craziness away from me & executed EVERYTHING I organized for her. (And trust me, it was a lot of stuff!) She was also wonderful in handling my loving yet crazy mother....& trust me that is a high regard!

As a PERSONAL EVENT THROWING ENTHUSIAST I HIGHLY recommend HOLLY as an investment to your day XOXO
