An Oasis of Calm at our Wedding

We hired Gina to help with the final few months and the day of the wedding. She was there with a clipboard to guide us every step of the way. Her sweet smile and soothing demeanor took away all our worries. Everything went perfectly even though we added some surprise challenges (live raptors, for example). On the day, it all flowed without a hitch and we had the time of our lives. Thank you Gina for being our guide to a happy day!

Donnah is the Queen of Events!

When looking for a wedding planner, we knew we wanted to work with Donnah after 1 phone call. Her calm confidence came through right away and avoided some of the pushiness we experienced in consultations with other planners. She kept us reassured throughout the process, and recommended fabulous vendors across the board! She took the time to get to know us and was able to put us in touch with the a matching vibe for photographer, DJ, and Florist! On the actual day of our wedding Donnah was indispensable, keeping us on track, adjusting the schedule for us when traffic impacted our arrival time, and getting us back on track by the end of dinner! Our wedding party all felt supported and comfortable knowing that she was there to answer questions and make sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend Donnah and Poised events!

Do Yourself a Favor and Hire Poised Events

We felt 100% present and enjoyed every moment of our wedding day thanks to Donnah and her team. We worked with Poised Events over the course of almost a year, and were consistently blown away by the care and planning put in. Donnah is truly a force of nature and the woman you want in charge of your event. From initial consult & creating an event that was SO us, to setting up tastings and managing all the vendor communication, to on-site event management day-of, her professional process is flawless. We’re so sad it’s over because it means we won’t get to see her as often, but will cherish the memories of planning and how much knowledge, clarity, timing, and POISE she brought to every meeting, and especially on the big day.

Alyssa from Poised Events was friendly, organized, and made our Spruce Mountain Ranch wedding seamless—we couldn’t have done it without her!

We couldn’t have been happier with Alyssa from Poised Events! From day one, she was incredibly friendly, professional, and organized—exactly what we needed to help our wedding day run perfectly. She was always available to connect, offered thoughtful advice on vendors and details, and maintained great communication with everyone involved.

We got married at Spruce Mountain Ranch, which has a lot of moving parts, and Alyssa handled it all with ease. She stayed on top of every detail and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Our guests and vendors loved working with her just as much as we did!

We truly couldn’t have done it without Alyssa. If I could give her 6 stars, I would in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Alyssa—you made our day unforgettable!

A great choice for your planner!

Donnah / Poised Events was on the preferred vendors list for our wedding venue (Blackstone Rivers Ranch) and we were so happy we went with her as our planner. We hired Donnah as our month-of planner but she was always willing to answer questions and offer ideas at every point along the way. She was super helpful and efficient in the preparation and lead up, and the day of she was calm, cool, and collected while also keeping things running on time. I highly recommend Donnah and team for any wedding planning and coordination needs!

Donnah: An amazing wedding planner, and even better person!

From the very first moments we chatted with Donnah, we just knew she was the perfect planner for our wedding. It felt like we were becoming best friends right away!

All we really had in mind was that we wanted a fall wedding and a fun, unique way to blend our two family cultures. We didn’t have a concrete vision, but we knew our top priorities were the ceremony, delicious food, good drinks, and great music.

With all our ideas bouncing around, Donnah was so patient and helpful. She offered tons of creative suggestions and guided us as we figured out what we really wanted. We even had a blast visiting mountain venues together, only to later decide on something totally different in downtown Denver.

Both my husband and I can be a bit of overthinkers and love to ask lots of detailed questions. Donnah was amazing and happily answered every single one of them. She was always a quick call or text away whenever we needed her. Plus, she gave us fantastic recommendations for other vendors.

Our wedding turned out absolutely incredible, and every detail was handled perfectly. We received so many compliments afterward; it was almost overwhelming! On the day, whenever we asked Donnah where something was or if something was happening, she always reassured us with, “It’s taken care of.” We never had to worry; all we did was enjoy the day!

Donnah has a treasure trove of knowledge and insider tips to share. She’s not just an amazingly talented planner but also an all-around wonderful person!

Amazing Planners

We had the pleasure of working with Donnah and Alyssa from Poised for our Sept 2024 wedding - Alyssa stayed on top of everything for us, from the contracts to the little things day of. We loved how willing she was to meet with us before the wedding both over Zoom and in person, and how present and calm she was on the big day. We'd definitely recommend them!

Responsive, thoughtful, creative and diligent

Donnah was amazing through the entire wedding process. She made our vision come to light and even better than we expected. She rolled with the changes and worked in any environment. She responded 24/7 which she probably doesn’t want me to share, however this woman is there for you. She provided vendors whom were exceptional. We had no issues with any of our vendors as all her recommendations were of very professional people. She has been in the industry for a while and you can tell from her relationship with all the top vendors. She is transparent and makes you feel comfortable. Donnah even saved my dog long story but just saying she goes outside the job description. Don’t think book Donnah !!

Highly recommend poised events

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Poised Events and cannot say enough how fantastic it was to work with them. We booked Poised with Donnah, who was so friendly and made the selection process easy, and Alyssa was our day of coordinator and she was a huge reason that the wedding was a success. We chose the "Month of Coordinator" service but Alyssa went above and beyond that. She provided a few vendor recommendations for us to check out, and helped us finalize the planning process the few months leading up to the wedding. She was extremely organized and communicative, helping us build a detailed day-of-schedule and communicate with all of our vendors. She is so friendly and easy to work with, and I cannot thank her enough for everything. Even when we had a few hiccups during the day of the wedding with other vendors, she took care of it so well that we didn't even know they had happened. Alyssa was fantastic and I'd highly recommend working with the Poised Events team for your wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
