Love her - amazing

Abbey is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! First off, she is genuine, thoughtful, kind, direct, and on it! We hired her for full-service wedding planning. She kept us on task each month, provided amazing recommendations, and was totally open to all our ideas and changes. She created a stunning design board but to see how it all came together the day of was so beautiful and emotional! We were stressing about rain during set up for the event and she somehow, incredibly, made it work. We were able to have the event of our wildest dreams because of her. Love her and am grateful for her always.

Perfection - 10.02.2022

WOW.

Abbey was INCREDIBLE and a total VISIONARY! Not only did she create a STUNNING design board that led all of the creative/design meetings with vendors; But she took a "feeling" that I had of "romantic, moody, fall" and TURNED IT INTO AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WEDDING. It was so special to see her ability to hear the vague words and create my perfect vision for my day that all of our guests commented was "so Ashli and Brad." On top of being a design queen, she also wrangled my bridal party and vendors and kept us on track day of (really month of, I did mostly nothing). She even got us caught up timeline-wise when I was about half an hour late to the venue!

I cannot recommend Abbey enough. She is an absolute delight.

Abbey is the Best

Abbey was the ideal wedding planner for our August 2022 wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch. Throughout the planning process she was full of great ideas on design and provided excellent feedback to our plans, including on vendors we were hiring. She was always prompt to reply (even when we were less than prompt) and is an all-around excellent communicator, both via email and over the phone.

The month of, Abbey was on top of absolutely everything, including making sure our schedule was in good shape, dealing with vendors, and ensuring we had everything we needed. Her presence removed a considerable amount of stress in an obviously stressful time. The wedding weekend was everything we hoped for and then some, in significant part thanks to Abbey. We couldn't be happier that we hired her!

Could not recommend PSE enough!

Abbey was the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for! Abbey was our month of coordinator and the second I met her at our walk through I knew we were in amazing hands. She has incredible attention to detail, organization skills, and the most calming presence. She took all the stress away from us and our families so we were just able to enjoy the wedding day. At one point, while getting ready, I mentioned that I wanted a diet coke and 20 minutes later a diet coke appeared in my hands. She made the months leading up to the wedding as stress free as possible and seamlessly took over all vender contracts and communication.
Abbey really understood the vibe and aesthetic we were trying to create and helped us make a timeline and layout that pulled it off perfectly. The day turned out more incredible than we could ever have imagined and that was largely thanks to Abbey. I truly could not recommend Abbey/ PSE enough!

Recommendation for PSE!

Wow, where to even begin! Abbey was such a fantastic planner, we really had the most beautiful day. We had our wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch on May 29, 2022, but we started planning on the late side (did not book the venue until August 2022). Abbey immediately helped us feel right on track. Right from the start, Abbey took the time to get to know us as a couple. By doing this, she was able to match our energy and execute our vision perfectly. She connected us with most talented vendors who made our day absolutely spectacular. Just a few examples- we wanted a showstopper floral arrangement- she hooked it up with Lale florals (look them up). We wanted a meaningful interfaith ceremony, she introduced us to our Rabbi who we connected with deeply and made our ceremony so personal. On our actual wedding day, we had just about every weather event you can imagine in Colorado (rain, hail, snow). Because of Abbey, the day ran seamlessly despite using multiple weather alternative locations for our ceremony and cocktail hour.
The only thing about working with Abbey that I regretted was not booking her for our entire wedding weekend! I really could not recommend her highly enough :)

I would book PSE for every event

Abbey is hands down he most incredible wedding planner. I can’t even begin to explain how perfect she was for our wedding day. We paid for month of coordination and the only thing I would have changed, is that we should have paid for the full package because she made every process SO easy, especially since we were planning an out of state wedding in Colorado living in Texas. A wedding planner is one of the first vendors you book, and you don’t realize how important they are until way later - don’t make this mistake. THEY ARE VITAL. And Abbey truly blew us away; vendors were on point, timing on everything was perfect, her recommendations saved our day and money multiple times. Every time I asked about something, it was already done - like she could read my mind! I am truly gushing over how thankful I am for her. She’s professional and super experienced, seriously book with Abbey and don’t think twice. She is worth every penny!!!!

The best!

Working with Abbey from PSE was an amazing experience. We had to postpone our initial wedding one year due to the pandemic, so we had the pleasure of working with Abbey for 2 whole years. I am not very much of the planner type, nor someone who enjoyed wedding planning, so I was super grateful for Abbey/PSE throughout. She is very patient, professional, responsive, kind, relaxed, experienced, and knowledgeable. She was able to recommend amazing vendors within the budget we gave to her -- I think all of our vendors we hired were based off of her recommendations, and our wedding was perfect and so much more than we could have ever dreamed of. The week leading up to the wedding and especially the day of the wedding, I felt super at ease and confident, because I knew that if anything went awry, Abbey would swoop in and handle it flawlessly, and that I didn't need to worry about anything. Because of this, I was able to be present in the moment and have the best time ever, focused on celebrating our love with friends + family. Thanks so much Abbey for everything! 10/10 would recommend.

Don't walk, run to hire Abbey!

Abbey is the person you want to hire for your wedding. Abbey is extremely talented, professional, creative and wonderful to work with. She has outstanding relationships with vendors, artists and venues around Colorado. Wedding planning can be very stressful, especially the weeks leading up to the big day, however, Abbey seamlessly took over all communication and responsibility without a hitch. There was also another level of complexity due to my husband and I planning a destination wedding in Vail (as we live in Chicago). It was advantageous to have boots on the ground and someone to help us navigate the whole process. Additionally, one of our top priorities for our initial planner search was to work with someone who overcommunicated and Abbey went beyond our expectations. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and Abbey truly made it happen. We can't thank her enough!

The best day, thanks to Abbey!

Where do we even begin… Abbey is the absolute best! Our day was beyond perfect and it was all because of Abbey. She is so knowledgeable and has been planning weddings she will give you the best advice to help the day be everything you want it to be. She recommended vendors to use and not use, which made our wedding day what it was because we were so thankful for the recommendations she had for us. She is responsive and willing to help with anything during the planning process that came up. Rehearsal and wedding day she had everything under control and I was so calm knowing she was tackling any challenges that may have happened. Our family and friends could not say enough about how seamless the ceremony and reception was and we credit that to Abbey!

If you are thinking about getting a planner, spend the money and let Abbey be apart of your day, you will not regret it!! We cannot thank Abbey enough for how perfect our wedding day was!

Trust us, you want to hire Purple Summer Events!

Our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without Abbey. If you're on the fence as to whether on not you should hire a coordinator for your event, trust us, you want to hire Purple Summer Events. Not only is Abbey extremely professional, easy to communicate with, and a design genius, she is also incredibly kind and goes above and beyond for her clients. As a bride impacted by COVID, we couldn't have asked for a better Coordinator to help us navigate through changed plans. We ended up moving our wedding from Colorado to California, but that didn't stop Abbey from making sure our day was perfect. She helped us create a timeline down to the second, answered all of our questions, did vendor research, the list goes on.

One thing that really stood out, and something I didn't think I needed help on originally was design support. As a bride with a billion pins on Pinterest, Abbey took the time to understand my vision and make it into a cohesive plan. She even researched our rentals vendor catalog to help us pick out the items that would bring it to life. This was a task I underestimated and so appreciate Abbey's help on.

We could go on and on, but it simply comes down to you will not regret hiring Abbey as your Special Event Coordinator.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
