    Pam is the best!

    Wow, where do we begin! Pam was so beyond helpful with every aspect of our wedding. She kept us on track with monthly reminders, was super organized and on top of everything, and is just great to work with in general! Pam was so amazing about making sure every detail of our day was perfect. She did such an amazing job setting things up on the day of, and did an incredible job of wrangling our very large and busy wedding party! She does an incredible job of communicating with vendors and making sure things are done ahead of time. Pam made the day seamless and we did not have to think about any of the details on the day of. She event lent us a mirror to use as a welcome sign :) We are SO grateful to her and everything she did to make our wedding day perfect. THANK YOU PAM!

    There are no words !

    Wow! There really are not the right words to express my deep appreciation for Pam. From day one she owned our wedding. She checked in every month and made every part of our wedding stress free, even the big items! She communicated frequently and clearly and made sure we knew exactly what to expect. The day before and the day of our wedding she handled EVERYTHING. I don’t recall one bump one missed step or anything and I’m sure they happened but the night was flawless and I got to enjoy every moment of my special day with my beautiful bride and our loved ones. I can’t thank Pam enough for her positive demeanor, professionalism but also how light and down to earth she was. She means business but she was a pleasure to work with, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Ally, thank you so much for your kinds words. That really means so much to me that you enjoyed every minute of your wedding day. You both were a delight to work with during the whole planning process which made my job such a delight!!!!

    Pam is Awesome

    We have been working with Pam for many years and her attention to detail is top notch. She expects only the best from each and every vendor that she recommends. We are fortunate to work along side with Pam.

    Pam made our wedding day perfect!

    When we got engaged, we weren't sure if a wedding planner would be worth the cost, but we can confidently say that Pam was worth every penny! She made our wedding planning process stress-free, kept us on track, made sure all of our vendors were aligned, and helped us anticipate problems we never would have thought of. I would absolutely recommend working with Pam to any friends or family.

    Thank you Pam!

    Pam was an absolute pleasure to work with planning our downtown Denver wedding! She was extremely well-organized, communicative, and we at the utmost trust in her that our wedding day would run smoothly. She connected us with vendors, which saved us a TON of time in research and vetting. I can't imagine our day without her. Thank you so much Pam!

    Pam is Awesome!

    We really had the perfect wedding day and that can be attributed to Pam and Pam's team preparation and efforts both before and during our wedding day. Anytime there was a concern (the flowers, the lights, the size of the dance floor), it got fixed. Everyone told us the couple never eats at the wedding, but they made sure we enjoyed the meal we catered and the drinks we made. We weren't worried about a thing on our wedding day (including set-up and clean-up), and really got to focus on making memories for a lifetime.

    Pam was a joy to work with throughout the entire process and definitely recommend her to anyone in Denver who are in need of a wedding planner, especially if you only want support for the day-of, as her service & pricing can't be beat.

    Getter Done!

    Pam who has gotten everything done from the beginning to end just nailed it. It took a lot of stress and the overwhelming feelings off my shoulders to bring the wedding together. Whenever something came up I let her know right away and she took care of it immediately. She made sure nothing went haywire and created a timeline that made everything perfect.

    Everyone please reach out to Pam Donaldson, she will take care of you from the beginning to end. I promise you she will make you beyond happy for your special day.

    100% recommend and trust Pam!

    Pam was an amazing planner every step of the way! She helped identify vendors, handled all of the little details, and was ESSENTIAL for ensuring the day of the wedding went perfectly. She made sure everything was done ahead of time so we wouldn’t be stressing out close to the date. So many of our guests commented on how smoothly the day went and that’s all due to Pam and her team! Highly recommend!

    If you’re not going with Pam what are you doing?

    The world needs to know about Pam Donaldson!! She was the wedding coordinator for my sister-in-law the year before our wedding and we were blown away by her organization, professionalism and straight forward attitude. We had a HORRIBLE experience with our previous wedding coordinators and when we switched to Pam she did more in two days than they had done in a year. She is so much more than just a day of coordinator. She took care of EVERY little problem without us even knowing. The ideas she added to the wedding enhanced the day more than we could have ever imagined. Her communication is stellar! If you hire Pam you will not be disappointed!!!

    Excellent Wedding Planner for the Perfect Wedding

    Pam is hands down the best wedding planner we could have chosen for our Big Day! She was dedicated to making sure we had the best wedding possible. Pam was always available to talk through any aspect of the planning process and handled any problems that came up efficiently and professionally. She helped us pick the perfect vendors and venue. On the day of the event, Pam knew exactly how to manage all of the vendors and our guests (as well as my husband and me) so that the event ran smoothly. It seemed like she was in multiple places at once to direct the event, but was never overbearing - she was so friendly and courteous the entire time. I would definitely recommend Pam to any of my friends and family members (and, in particular, to anyone wanting a destination wedding in Colorado).

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Brooke, thank you for such a wonderful review. I am so glad that you felt "very taken care of" on your wedding day. That is my goal, always to make your day perfect and special. :)

    The Absolute BEST!

    We had the pleasure of working with Pam for my daughter’s wedding in Colorado Springs. From our very first meeting with Pam, we knew Celebrations Event Planning was by far the best and most important planning decision we made. From helping us find the perfect venue at The Garden of the God’s resort to orchestrating the most magical wedding day, Pam delivered the exact wedding my daughter and her fiancé envisioned. Pam listened to our early ideas, worked with us and vendors to bring those ideas to life, seamlessly coordinated all the details, kept us on track and updated us along the way and, finally, provided us with a stress-free, perfectly executed wedding day that exceeded our expectations. Aside from being a fantastic planner, Pam is also a very kind person. She was always available for any questions or concerns and went above and beyond to make sure everything was flawless. Day-of, Pam was a sight to behold! She had every second of the ceremony and reception completely under control all the while displaying her sweet demeanor and beautiful smile. I had several guests comment on how beautiful everything was and how perfectly Pam kept everything flowing. Thank you seems inadequate for creating such a special celebration! Please reach out next time you are in Austin. We would love to see you again!

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Sandra! Thank you so much for that glowing review. You were both an absolute delight to work with and I am so happy that the wedding day was everything you imagined. I will definitely give you a shout out next time I am in Austin and we will get together for sure!!!!!

    Couldnt be happier

    We had the incredible pleasure of working with Pam from Celebrations Wedding and Event Planning for our recent wedding in Colorado, and we cannot express how grateful we are for her exceptional expertise and dedication. From the very first consultation, Pam displayed an unwavering passion for turning our dreams into reality. Her attention to detail and creativity shone through as she meticulously planned every aspect of our special day. Pam's warm and friendly demeanor made the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free.

    What truly sets Pam apart is her ability to transform ideas into a magical reality. Our wedding in Colorado was nothing short of a fairytale, thanks to Pam's thoughtful coordination and execution. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail, from the floral arrangements to the timeline of events, was executed flawlessly.
    Pam's ability to understand our vision and bring it to life exceeded our expectations. The ambiance she created was enchanting, and the seamless flow of the ceremony and reception left both us and our guests in awe.

    Pam's dedication to her craft and her clients is truly commendable. She not only orchestrated a stunning event but also provided invaluable support throughout the entire process.
    Pam, thank you for making our day more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!

    Couldn’t have felt better

    My mom and I could not have gotten through the last few months and especially day of wedding without Pam!! She kicked serious butt
    Made sure everything was set up the way we wanted it, ran on time, kept guests and vendors running smoothly. Checked in with us every month and kept on timeline on track. Was on time and organized. I would recommend Pam to Anyone and Everyone who needs a coordinator.

    Highly Recommend

    We don't live in Denver so Pam was a great help getting all our vendors from afar. She was flexible in planning meet ups based on our schedule and was very responsive. She did a great job on the day of which allowed us to enjoy the moment and not worry about the details as she was on top of it. Pam's wedding planning services was definitely worth it!

    Organized, delightful experience working with Pam!

    Pam was incredible! From the first meeting, she helped us get organized and on track for the year ahead. Her monthly check-ins were invaluable in informing us what we should be completing and preparing for each month. When our wedding day arrived, Pam was pivotal in how smoothly it went. She took so much off our plate, coordinating with vendors, making rain plans, gathering the families & wedding party when needed, and just generally allowing us to fully enjoy our day without having to stress over if details. I highly recommend Pam if you're looking for someone to handle your big day, she is professional, kind, organized, and a joy to work with!

    On the fence if you'll really need a wedding planner?

    We can not recommend Pam Donaldson as a wedding coordinator enough! 5+ star service!! Pam came highly recommended from friends of ours, but I have to admit, I was on the fence whether a wedding planner was needed or not. Our venue had an on-site coordinator, and all of the catering was on-sight. So, did we really need a wedding coordinator? I found out that the correct answer is "YES! Get a coordinator/planner!" Pam was a great choice for us because she was: 1) easy to talk through details with 2) made suggestions - but ultimately went with whatever we decided as a couple 3) kept us on track without stressing us out about deadlines and timelines 4) did an amazing job the day of the wedding organizing and displaying all of our décor 5) very responsive and easy to get in touch with 6) communicated with our vendors, after we made our choices, and made sure everyone was organized and ready for our big day! Ultimately, spend the money for a coordinator/wedding planner - the amount of stress she took off of our plates was worth every cent! And, in our opinion, Pam is a GREAT choice for so many reasons!

    Hey Sue....thank you for such a kind review. I LOVED working with you both and I am so happy that you loved your wedding day and everything leading up to it. It was truly beautiful!!!!!!

    You should just hire Pam already.

    Pam was absolutely essential in the planning and execution of our wedding! The day was absolutely seamless, Pam coordinated everything down to the minute, which meant I just got to enjoy my wedding and I didn’t have to worry about a single detail! Two weeks before the wedding Pam set up meetings with all the vendors to go over the timeline so that everyone was on the same page and knew where to be and at what time. On wedding day she handled all of the set-up and break down at the venue, including the candy bar! It was such a relief to have someone who knew the answers to every question we had, and she guided us through a very stressful time with ease! She stuck with us through the nitty gritty issues that popped up, even helping us navigate some family dynamics that were not in her job description to handle. Pam was amazing, and we can’t recommend her enough!

    Hands on powerhouse

    We hired Pam later in our planning process and I'm so glad we did. She was so hands on right off the bat and really helped us iron out all the kinks to make sure the whole event ran smoothly. I honestly don't know how we would have done it without her, she was the conductor and powerhouse behind the scenes. I felt so relaxed the week leading up to the wedding, and especially the day of. I didn't have to think about anything and seeing it all come together was such a joy. I can't thank or recommend her enough!

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Thank you sooooo much Maddie for those very kind words. You were so wonderful to work with, so that makes my job a delight.

    Celebrations let us enjoy our day 100%

    I didn't want to worry or think about anything on the day of our wedding. Working with Pam and her team was the best decision we could make! She coordinated with all of our vendors, had everything in place, kept us on task and on time, and made sure everything was PERFECT without us having to think about anything. 100% would recommend Celebrations for any event!

    Wow, she’s great

    Pam is a pro. What stood out most was when we were waiting for everyone to leave the venue so we could have our Secret Last Dance. Everyone left except for a gaggle of women. These are very high-powered alpha- type women.

    Pam authoritatively killed them with kindness and told them they should get a move on so that the party could wrap up and we could dance. I have not seen those women respond like that ever: they looked at her, considered her, Pam stood her ground and they joined everyone outside.

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Ben...thank you so much for such a great review. I do try always keeps things running smoothly and sometimes "killing them with a little kindness" really does make a difference.

    Stop stressing, and hire Pam.

    I never looked at the cost of Pam's services as an expense. It was always an investment. The truth is when there is an expense; you are always looking for the lowest cost, best deal, etc. Conversely, you are looking for the largest return with an investment, which is precisely what Pam provided us. Pam has a gift, and those who experience her become richer because of it.

    As a gay couple, we needed a planning partner not blinded by traditions and stereotypes. And we found comfort, joy, passion, friendship, and inclusiveness with Pam.

    Pam is not only an amazingly talented professional, but she's also such an extraordinary person. Pam was patient and flexible (even when I had her all over the rocky mountains scouting for venues [because we live in San Diego] when I ultimately threw a last-minute curveball and decided to do it in Denver, lol.) She made the whole process of planning my wedding fun and stress-free.

    Pam and her team literally made our dreams come true. I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen from start to finish. Everything was exceptional, from every vendor she recommended to every tiny detail of the design, and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. Our wedding day was by far the most special day of our lives. Not to mention gaining a friend through it all to make it even more special!

    Lastly, on the morning of my wedding, Pam texted me a song called "Perfect Day" and said, "This is my theme song for you today!" Once again, Pam was right; It was indeed a perfect day. I've never been married before, but I feel like it must be a sign when every day after your wedding, all you want to do is relive it over and over again.

    Pam, we love you, and we are forever grateful!

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Wesely...my goodness, words can't express how much I appreciate your amazing review. I loved the "winter wonderland" vision that you had....it make planning your wedding such a joy!!!! I am so glad you were happy with EVERYTHING!!!! It was truly a stunning winter wonderland beauty!!!!

    A Little Angel on The Big Day

    I'll be up front that I was the spouse who was not as hands-on during the planning and set up but I was able to see the results of all the hard work Pam and team put into making the final result.

    Do you like saving money and your sanity? Do yourself a favor and hire Pam. She was like a project manager, finance organizer, designer, therapist, ninja, and family-wrangler all in one. Worth every penny.

    My spouse was the one who worked hand-in-hand with Pam. His own mental well-being was saved by this woman and the wonders she was able to create and support. And when we go through the ceremony and had 15 minutes alone, I looked at my husband and said, "what do you think?" And he said, "I wouldn't change a thing." That to me was special. It was a wedding that ran on time, without problems, absent of chaos, and full of fun.

    There is a joke I could make about hiring her for my next wedding (fingers crossed - none expected!) but in the meantime I'll settle for referring her out to friends and family.

    BEST. DECISION. OF. THE. WEDDING.

    Evan....thank you SOOOO much for your kind words. I am so very happy that you walked in a loved everything about your wedding day. You and Wesley will be together forever but I am always available to to "anniversary" parties :)

    Excellent to work with!

    Pam is a DELIGHT to work with! We had the pleasure of working with Pam and her team for 2 years as we dealt with COVID postponements and all of the curveballs the last 2 years has thrown at everyone. Through every step of the way Pam was there with advice, wisdom and understanding. When my now husband and I got engaged in 2019 we knew we HAD to have Pam as our planner. Her vision and creativity and keen eye for the out of the box experience we wanted to have is what made us book her. She is amazing! I would recommend her 10,000 times to every single bride in Colorado and Texas!

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    It was was a delight to work with you both Emily. Although COVID definitely threw us all a "curve ball", everything came together beautifully!!!!! Congratulations to you and Tyler!!!!!

    Amazing!

    Pam is a miracle worker!! She was there from start to finish (over a year of planning) and was always on top of everything! She was professional, kind, and had everything planned out and timed to perfection! Pam and her assistant also helped coordinate the entire wedding day from the very start to the very end and helped with every last beautiful detail and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She allowed my parents and I to enjoy the day instead of being stressed. I would recommend her to any bride wanting to have a perfect and FUN wedding! :)

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Thank you so much Rachel! I am so glad you were happy with your wedding day. My goal is always for it to be stress free and fun for my couples. Thank you also for posting the pictures.....everything was JUST GORGEOUS!!!!!!

    Mother of the Bride

    Celebrations Event Planning went above and beyond my expectations! Pam was amazing to work with! She is highly organized, professional, energetic and very skilled in wedding planning. Our journey with Pam was fun and non stressful! We continue to get compliments on the wedding and it was 2 weeks ago! I highly recommend Celebrations Event Planning!

    An absolute all star!

    Pam was a life saver! I cannot say enough about how great she was to work with. We are horrible procrastinators and she kept us organized. She helped with many decisions and made sure our vision was executed. On the day of the wedding we had a lot of chaos and she handled it like a pro. She was in a million places at once and made the day feel seamless. She really is the best! Highly, highly recommend.

    Hands down, my best wedding decision was hiring Pam

    I have zero background in the wedding industry, so I spent a lot of time interviewing people to be my wedding planner. I had my sister / Maid of Honor help me interview people to get another perspective. Within five minutes of speaking to Pam on our initial call, my sister texted me saying, "Yessss, she's the one." We clicked immediately. She's very energetic, upbeat, and a go-getter. She's exactly what I envisioned a wedding planner to be. She will kill you with kindness and make sure everything is executed perfectly to the developed timeline so it runs smoothly.

    My husband loves Pam because when our DJ initially refused to play any of his music because it had explicit lyrics, Pam immediately stepped in, spoke to the DJ, and got it straightened out. My husband and I are forever grateful she did that for us.

    She was amazing at giving me a timeline and making sure I was on track. Without her, I would've been completely lost as to have far back I needed to start thinking about getting a vendor in the works, the deadline for wedding party alterations, when I needed my final headcount, etc.

    She called all vendors a few weeks out to ensure they knew everything they needed to do. I am beyond grateful she did this because, at this point, I was drowning in work from my job, and it was a huge help to have her there to take on that responsibility and save me time.

    There were so many calls I did with her where I found myself saying: "this is why I hired you." Even if you've worked in events before, like I have, wedding planner is different. Pam is an endless source of knowledge on the industry and was a huge help for helping me navigate all of the decisions.

    She also has a coordinator, Angela, who is a huge bonus. Having both of them on my wedding day was necessary. We had 114 people for the guest count, but there are so many behind-the-scenes items to take care of that having Pam and Angela was what made my wedding day perfect.

    Hiring Pam and Angela felt like having two best friends backing you up on your wedding day who were both making sure everything went exactly as you envisioned it.

    I can't recommend Pam and Angela enough. Everyone kept telling me I was a really laid-back bride, even the day before, and I kept telling them: "it's all because of my wedding planners."

    Madison...thank you for such a lovely review! You were so much fun to work with and I am "over the moon" happy that your wedding day was everything you ever dreamed!!!!!!!

    Incredible patience, professionalism, class and creativity

    Pam is incredible. She created an amazing, polished, memorable event despite limited guidance, an ever increasing guest list, and me going through an international move (and being offline for weeks at a time). Pam was patient, understanding, totally flexible but also full of good advice and good ideas. From the first time we talked, she worked to understand my vision and make it a reality while sticking to our budget and helping me decide what we needed to do and what we could skip. On the day of the event, she exceeded all my expectations, managing every detail so the event ran perfectly and I felt like a guest not a hostess. At least a dozen guests complimented me on how wonderful the reception was, how beautiful it looked, and how smoothly everything ran. I can't recommend Pam highly enough. Hire her for a perfect, stress-free day.

    Pam (Celebration Event Planning) is AMAZING

    I am so happy with my decision to go with Celebrations Event Planning. I really did my homework and narrowed it down to three event planners, eventually going with Pam. She is INCREDIBLE. She has monthly check-ins which are super helpful in knowing what exactly you should be doing to plan/prepare month by month. She also helped when it came to other vendors that were not responsive when I tried to communicate with them. Honestly our wedding would not have been what it was without Pam. She puts so much energy and heart into making your day specially and she is overall just a super nice person.

    Katie - Bride

    Pam was amazing!
    Pam was very attentive during the planning phase of my wedding. She would answer all of my emails in a timely manner and she kept me on track with monthly emails telling me where we are in the planning process. Pam also created a super detailed wedding timeline and stayed in contact with all of my vendors for me, which was a huge help.
    On the day of my wedding, Pam and her assistant, Cassie, were ON IT. They handled all of the decorating, vendors, and organization AND kept everyone on track and on a very tight schedule. My wedding day was perfect and I didn’t have to worry about one thing except getting married to the love of my life!
    I’m so happy that I chose Pam to be my wedding planner!

    Nothing short of AMAZING!!

    Pam was the absolute best! I am not a very organized person and obviously had no idea where to even begin with wedding planning but Pam was on it! She would send me detailed and organized emails that included to do lists and wedding details. She made sure to reach out to all my vendors to make sure we were on the same page. I seriously could not have done this without her. Unfortunately, we ended up canceling our big wedding celebration due to COVID restrictions. But, I know she would have done an amazing job! WE LOVE PAM :)

    Professional, accommodating, and dedicated

    Due to COVID, and a variety of other factors, my husband (then fiancé) and I had quite a few wrenches thrown into our wedding plans. About two months out, we were looking for a new wedding planner to focus on the day-of and received a recommendation to talk to Pam. I am extremely grateful for that recommendation! Pam listened to our wishes, needs, and requirements; even with the many requirements and rules in place, made sure we had the best day ever. She was kind, friend and put our needs first, yet firm with vendors to ensure we received great service. I told her what I had already planned along with our vision, and she took it and truly executed. For anyone even considering getting a wedding planner, whether it be a full planner or day-of, I highly recommend Pam and Celebrations Event Planning!

    Even a small wedding is not simple!

    My daughter had a short notice wedding at her home after covid 19 stymied the plans for a 150 person celebration at a mountain venue. We thought we could manage a small backyard wedding ourselves, but as details started to overwhelm us, we realized it might be a helpful to have a professional involved. We are so happy we hired Pam. There is so much involved: the review of the contracts, the timing and delivery of all the different vendors ( flowers, rentals, dessert, caterer, liquor, etc) and the flow of the ceremony. Pam reviewed everything ahead of time, helped design the table layout (with social distancing), and coordinated the entire ceremony and reception. She also was wonderful in evaluating pros and cons of things my daughter and I had different views onso that we all came away more than satisfied.
    Pam and her partner were working behind the scenes the entire day of the wedding, and the wedding party and guests were able to just enjoy themselves. We are so grateful to Pam for making the day perfect!

    Do yourself a favor and choose Celebrations Event Planning for a stress-free planning process!

    I cannot recommend Pam and Celebrations Event Planning enough! Pam was always quickly responsive with great ideas and great connections. She is hugely organized and an absolute joy to work with. I always dreaded wedding planning, and Pam made it stress-free and actually something I enjoyed! We unfortunately were unable to have the wedding due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but Pam was right there and willing to work with us through it so that we were happy. I would recommend Pam to everyone I know planning a wedding! Her down-to-earth and can-do attitude is wonderful to work with and made the whole process better than I could have imagined. Do yourself a favor and choose Pam and Celebrations Event Planning for a stress-free wedding or event planning process!

    Truly Amazing

    Pam is an incredible wedding planner! Assisting my daughter, Sarah in planning and unfolding her big day, Pam was there to suggest venues, caterers, bands along with decorating ideas. Most importantly, Pam and her assistants made Sarah's wedding day seamless as they worked in the background to insure everything was as planned. Pam has a calming effect. Flustered when I realized I had forgotten my daughter's veil, she kept me focused. She did a wonderful job keeping to the timeline for the rehearsal as well as for the wedding always moving according to schedule yet adjusting for glitches along the way. Pam takes the lead, is thorough and pays attention to details. It was a truly wonderful day I could enjoy and not worry about what should be happening. Pam was making it all happen as planned. Thank You Pam!!

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Thank you so much Mary!!!! I so appreciate that!!!! It is very important to me that my "parents" enjoy the wedding as much as the couple. It can be equally stressful for you, and the fact that you LOVED the wedding day and you were able to stay in joy of the day makes me so very happy!!!!!

    Bubbly, organized, and exciting

    I can’t say good enough things about Pam. Her communication leading up to our big day was flawless. Everything on the actual day was handled completely by her and her assistant. We never felt rushed instead we were able to relax and actually enjoy the day because these wonderful ladies took care of all the behind the scene action. Pam is someone you’d want to hang out with in person too! Our guests commented on how great she and her assistant were. If you are planning a wedding look not further then Pam! Her prices and expertise are truly amazing.

    Fantastic All In Wedding Planner

    Pam was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process! We explored options of other planners and decided on Pam as her packages include EVERYTHING wrap than the a la carte charges coming as we continued planning. We began working with Pam 15 months out from our event she helped us with every step of the process; from selecting a venue to finding a band to exploring various decor options, finding a caterer, literally all aspects of our day. Pam's responsiveness, professionalism and network were all incredible. I always knew I would hear back from her within a day and if not she had communicated when she would be out of pocket. Additionally, she has a sizable network of vendors all around Colorado which she helped to tap into for various parts of our wedding. She was willing to work to explore the pricing of options to see if it would fit within our budget rather than telling me it would not fit our budget. Pam even took the time the weekend before to come over to my home to review our decor, details and timelime to ensure everything was thoroughly communicated. She put her heart into our wedding day and it showed in every aspect of our day. She also had a second planner and additional hand to help with our setup which was very detailed and intricate. Absolutely amazing experience! I'd hire Pam for any event I am hosting in the future in a heartbeat!

    Thank you so much Sarah for your kind words. It was great working with you both and after 15 months of planning, it was so much fun to see it all come together so beautifully. It was truly a gorgeous wedding.

    Best Wedding Planner in Denver

    Pam Donaldson was a pleasure to work with. Her recommendations as to vendors was superb. All vendors, from the caterer to the bar service to the florist and photographer, were friendly, flexible, and responsive. Pam herself was ALWAYS courteous and professional. She had many creative ideas that made my daughter’s wedding fun and enjoyable-from a shuttle service for our guests to a food truck on the mountains after a hike. Pam always returned our phone calls promptly even toward the last few days when things were a bit hectic. There was nothing that raddled her and she handled everything with ease and poise. She was present at all phases of the preparations from the food tasting to the rehearsal dinner to the wedding itself where she was most elegant in her black pant suit and converse. Many guests commented on her efficiency, readiness to help, and her open friendliness. What I mostly appreciated about Pam was her promptness, her organization, her professionalism at all times. I wholeheartedly recommend Pam Donaldson for any event. Her graciousness and hands-on involvement will make any event memorable.

    Gloria....thank you so much for taking the time to write such a sweet review. I LOVE hearing from the family and how they felt about the outcome of the wedding day. At the end of the day, it is important for everyone to have had an amazing time evening.

    Best day of my life

    YES! I would certainly recommend Celebrations Event Planning to a friend, specifically Pam, took all (or most) of the stress out of planning my wedding and making sure everything ran smoothly the day of the big day. To this day, guests are still telling me how much fun they had at my wedding and my response is, "it was all my wedding planner." Not only is Pam the utmost professional, but she is also one of the best human beings to be around and has the best disposition when dealing with cranky family members, unruly guests, or even stressed brides (like me). I'm not from Colorado and have NO family in the state, when I met with Pam she told me to go for the full wedding planning package and she was with me every step of the way. No task was too small or too overwhelming for Pam. She would help me with finding a photographer that suited my vision or if I needed to vent about frustrating family members. Hiring Celebrations Events Denver was the best money I spent for my wedding.

    Bea....thank you so much for such a wonderful review. It was such a delight working with you and Brian every step of the way. You both were a ton of fun and made it a pleasure every day!!!!!

    When my husband Astronaut Scott Kelly, who spent 520 total days in space on four space flights—including an unprecedented yearlong mission—and I began planning our lifetime journey together here on Earth, we immediately turned to Pam Donaldson of Celebrations Event Planning. Pam is everything you should look for in a wedding planner.

    Every couple needs someone reliable to lean on when planning such an important event in their lives. Pam was a rock. She executed everything right down to the tiniest beautiful touches that overall exemplified the essence of our commitment to not only an exceptional wedding celebration but also to a loving lifelong journey in marriage.

    Finding your match in a wedding planner isn’t as critically important as finding your match in a life partner, but some critical criteria should be considered. After all, your wedding planner will be a part of your life in a saturated way for a short time, at least, during the planning process and on the very most important day of your lives together. And at the end of the day, if you’re lucky as we were, you’ll even get to call your wedding planner family. Even if you have no familial ties, Pam is the kind of person with whom you’ll find no problem bonding.

    Friendly, flexible and fun, she far exceeded our immediate needs through her meticulous organization, smart problem-solving and always-timely responsiveness. She brought not only years of experience in wedding and event planning and a solid network of trained professionals and vendors but also a natural wicked sense of creativity. She is able to visualize the most abstract of ideas and offer additional complimentary options that actually work. Beautifully. Stunningly. And all the adverbs that describe aesthetic excellence. Our top priority was our guests and their experience. Nearly three months of wedded bliss later, our family and friends still reminisce on that incredible July 14 night.

    Thank you Amiko for such a lovely review. After everything you and Scott had been through over the past year, I was so happy to make your wedding dreams come through. I think we definitely created your Tibetan wedding in Houston.

    PAM WAS INCREDIBLE!!!! If you want to be a STRESS FREE bride then Pam is your planner!

    Every bride knows how stressful things can be but Pam made everything just so easy. She was very diligent with timelines making sure vendors were booked by the appropriate time, she has a keen eye for details, I really appreciated her honesty when it came down to making certain decisions (she knows what she is talking about!) and I loved how involved she was, like meeting up with me to look at linens.

    On the day of the wedding I don’t think I ever had to worry about anything. Pam was so attentive to my husband and I; making sure after the ceremony we had time to wind down with a plate of appetizers and signature drinks waiting for us, when the dinner buffet opened she made our plates first this way we were able to interact with all of our guest. At the end of the night I didn’t even have to worry about bringing my bags back with us, “honey I got it taken care of” and just like that she made sure our bags were taken by our family members. Pam and Angela even helped me bustle my dress during the reception!

    I can’t say enough how amazing everything turned out. The flowers and decorations were incredible!!!!!!

    I’m soooo happy with how my wedding turned out, I still hear talk from our guest about how beautiful everything was. Pam and Angela thank you so much for that!!!!!

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Erick....it was so great to work with you. I know life got a little crazy right before the wedding day, but everything was beautiful. I am so glad I was there to make everything fun and stress free for both you and David. Much Love!

    Pam was absolutely amazing! We planned a destination wedding in Breckenridge, almost site unseen... but thanks to Pam we were able to pull it off! She was such a breath of fresh air throughout the planning process - she truly loves her job, and I don't think we could have brought our vision to life without her! She helped direct me to great vendors and kept us so organized throughout the whole process. And for our actual wedding she was right there from rehearsal dinner through entire reception to keep us on track and to handle any hiccups or issues that may have otherwise been huge stressors... thanks Pam!!!

    I loved working with you in Breckenridge Holly. Having your wedding at a large AirB&B made it very personal for you and your family. It was so much fun to plan everything for you!

    I am so excited to finally be writing this review about Pam. I planned my wedding with pam for about a year and in that time, she completely took care of me. From my first meeting with Pam I knew she would be the one. She has such an amazing knowledge about weddings and made me think about things I never had before. I have only been to one wedding and I felt so lost at times. Pam was always available from texting, phone calls, or emails to answer all of my questions. I’ve never seen someone who was such a “boss” at her job and was so delicate and truly cared. I told Pam my vison and she made it come to life. Pam was worth EVERY penny and by far my best purchase. She knew I had a budget and helped me to trim costs in areas I would have never thought of on my own. Pam knows this business inside and out and was able to help me find vendors who could bring my vision to life. When we had our final walk through Pam directed and worked with all of the vendors. I remember watching them all talk in awe because I had no idea what they were talking about. I can’t even imagine what my wedding would have been like without her. The day of my wedding, I did not lift a FINGER, I came into my wedding to see that she had perfectly directed everyone and brought my dream to life. Pam ensured me from day one that she would take care of me on my wedding day so that my family and loved ones would enjoy and not have to worry about the details. I cannot begin to tell you enough how she lived up to that promise. She did monthly check-ins with me to ensure we were on track also. If you are looking for a wedding planner, I cannot recommend Pam enough. I literally have her saved in my phone as “Pam my Fairy Godmother”. I could write a book on everything she did perfectly. She allowed me to take care of items I knew I could, and held my hand on things I was unsure of. Pam, I can’t say thank you enough. You are so talented and I hope you continue to make every girls day super special!

    Thank you so much Katie for your kind words. You were a delight to work with and I am so happy that you and Kevin got your "fairytale" wedding. All the Best!

    So you want a stress free wedding/event. Hire Pam and her team. Are you a Type A personality? Are you a laid-back personality? Are you confused and stressed out? Hire Pam. Not only does she work well with all personality types but she is the best family and vendor wrangler I know. Being from Texas, she is prepared for everything, on-top of timelines and the biggest champion for her brides. Her eye for design and detail is unquestionable. Her ability to respond to any question or crisis with immediate ideas is unparalleled.

    I had hired a collection of super professional high-end vendors with strong personalities and Pam kept them all in line and made the processes day of smooth. She knows when to take the lead, when to offer assistance and when to be a vendor's wing-man. Her professionalism is beyond what I expected and that is from a Type A, marketing/events professional who could not have had entrusted her wedding to anyone but Pam. I ate, I drank and I was very merry my big day with NO stress. How many brides do you know who can say that? It was all due to Pam.

    Ladies/Gentlemen if you want a planner to help from day one, or someone to assist along the way and then take over on the big day, Pam and her team are your event planning guardian angels.

    Celebrations Event Planning's reply:

    Eva you were so much fun to work with. I love how our "A" type personalities moved through everything so efficiently. I LOVED the red dress....you rocked it! Wishing you and Kevin a fun and fabulous future together.

    I cannot even put into words our utter and pure satisfaction with Pam and her team from start to finish! Pam is a little fire cracker (with AWESOME hair) who is assertive but not aggressive, responsible but still easy going, organized but not overbearing, and fun but always on task. I do not know what I would do without her and her team. They were always on top of all the vendors, worries, problems, and solutions one could possibly think of or face. Without their team, I probably would still be trying to figure out who I needed to pay, where I needed to be, and looking for groomsmen 17 days after the wedding =) But with her, we were able to have THE BEST day of our lives without any hiccups, worries, or cares except for enjoying our day. I would HIGHLY recommend these ladies. Not only for a wedding but ANY big event you are planning. They will execute their roles and responsibilities to perfection and keep you smiling while doing so! And best part?! Celebrations does not put a "wedding" price tag on her work and you will find yourself worshipping at her feet and so glad for every penny you spent! Thank you Celebrations!

    TO: Pam (Dan and Bill’s Wedding Dream Team!)

    WOW! Where do we begin? The Most Amazing Day EVER! After 29 years of partnership, Bill and I are now one week after our wedding held on Saturday, June 2, 2018 @ 3:30PM at Willow Ridge Manor, in Morrison, Colorado. We are still doing our best to come down from the biggest and best high we have ever experienced. Bill and I cannot express in words just how GRATEFUL we are to Pam Donaldson and all the others who helped us have the most Spectacular, Awesome and Beautiful Wedding Day. Because of you, Saturday, June 02, 2018 turned out to be SO MUCH MORE than we ever dreamed or imagined it could be for the two of us. We want to let you all know that we continue to hear from Family, Friends, and Neighbors this was the most organized and beautiful wedding they had ever attended. The experience was absolutely amazing and everything was over the top beautiful. I have tears just writing this, thinking about all of it.

    Our planning process was approximately 1 year. I could have NEVER got through it without Pam being there for me every time I called and needed her to answer a "quick" question, direct me on what needed to happen next, get me through the closing of our Chapel and moving the ceremony, and simply reassure me every now and then that everything was on track and was going to work out when I was "having a moment". Her monthly check-ins were critical to helping me stay on-top of everything every step of the way.

    We could go on and on, but in the end, we truly just want ALL OF YOU to know we recognize none of this would have been possible without each of you, and everything each of you did to help us have the most amazing day ever. It will never be forgotten! Simply amazing! Thank You!

    We highly would recommend this event planning company, owned and operated by Pam Donaldson.
    Pam helped us plan, coordinate and execute all the pieces needed to come together on our special Wedding Day. We enjoyed her energy and enthusiasm throughout our process to make our day so memorable and fulfilling! Pam truly cares about her clients. She surrounded us with a highly caring and creative team of individuals that provided their expertise in the following areas: Photography, Floral arrangements, Linens, Bakery, Officiant and ideal venues for both ceremony and reception.
    You will not regret hiring Pam and her abilities to coordinate your team or hers to make your special day go smoothly and effortlessly. She far exceeds any monetary fees you pay for her services!

    Pam and Angela were absolutely on point with everything in regards to our wedding preparation and day of execution. The moment we met Pam, we knew we were in good hands with all of her attention to detail and her open communication. Pam made the planning process a breeze with her monthly check ins and made sure the wedding timeline was accurate and in great shape. Pam and Angela planned our rehearsal dinner at our apartment complex and it was absolutely everything we could've hoped for. Wedding day was stress-free with Pam and Angela at the helm, instructing vendors where/when to go, along with orchestrating our wedding day timeline down to the minute. Any problem that arose was quickly taken care of by Pam and Angela. Best decision to hire Celebrations Event Planning for our rehearsal dinner/wedding because it made our day perfect! Thank you Pam and Angela!!

    From the moment I first emailed Pam and she emailed me back I was sold! She was super flexible with my non-traditional wedding and her packages plan. Not only did she immediately go to work on a plan for the Day of Coordination, she made sure that I had all the correct things in place. She was super quick at responding to emails or text messages, I knew that I could always send an email or text at any time and it would be answered soon.
    She did a great job the day of my wedding and the way she used our decor was wonderful, she took our idea and brought it to life! Pam and Angela did a great job the day of the wedding!! My wife and I were able to truly enjoy ourselves and our guests with no worries about logistics!! Pam and Angela are a great way to ensure you will be able to enjoy "your day", their services are totally worth it!

    We were so fortunate to find Pam to put the finishing touches on our wedding! She was the point-person I needed to ensure our day was everything we wanted - completely organized, a wonderful communicator, and an attitude that kept everyone feeling great through the whole process, we couldn't have asked for more. Can't recommend her services highly enough!

    Prior to my daughter's wedding the only planner I had seen in action was "Fronk". We had lots of questions and only a handful of answers. The ladies at Celebrations came to our rescue and made the wedding day a great, low stress, experience for our family. I highly recommend them.

    Best investment. Pam and Angela were worth every cent! At first, I wasn't sure if we needed a wedding planner but I am so thankful that we did. The day went so smooth, I honestly did not feel one bit stressed throughout the entire day (not sure everyone can say that!). They were there to make sure all the vendors knew what was happening, they made sure guests knew where to go, and most importantly they made sure my husband and I had a great time. They even made sure we had a quiet moment to ourselves to rest, much appreciated! It was nice to have someone that has done weddings before to guide us along. We never had to think of the time and what we were suppose to be doing next. At one point I even dropped a glass on my foot and Pam was right there to help me get cleaned up! I could go on and on about how helpful they were. If I had to choose all over again I would do it all the same. Thank you Pam and Angela for a perfect day. :)

    My husband and I worked with Celebrations Denver for our housewarming party after we purchased our first home. Pam and her team were great about staying in touch after coming out to view our space and advise as to how many people we could reasonably host. She was amazing at finding ways to save money and stay in budget while providing us with beautiful décor, florals, photographer, and amazing food. Celebrations was always on time and quickly answered small questions leading up to the event and we could not have been happier with their skill at creating a special experience. Our friends told us they had a great time and stayed much longer than they planned. At least six guests asked for introductions to Pam and for her contact information. We had a large majority of LGBT people as guests so it was fantastic to work with an event planning organization so comfortable with and knowledgeable about the LGBT community. As hosts my husband and I loved actually getting to spend time with our guests and allowing the professionals to keep everything running smoothly. Thanks Celebrations!

    I can't tell you enough about how wonderful Pam is! We couldn't have been any happier with the way things turned out for my daughter's wedding! Her expertise it top notch, and all the other vendors loved working with her to help create such a magical wedding! Pam goes above and beyond to make sure your special day goes on without any hiccups, and she is very detail oriented, which is extremely helpful, especially when it comes to planning a wedding, as the bride can breathe a lot easier knowing she has someone like Pam to make sure all the details are covered.

    MY husba and I are so grateful for everything Pam did to create a wedding we could have never imagined! From the moment we met Pam, we knew she was the perfect wedding planner to help make our wedding special. However, Pam exceeded our every expectation! She helped us with every step of the planning process, and made the day run absolutely perfectly- no bumps or kinks! Pam felt like more of a friend than a wedding planner, always with the most cheerful, helpful demeanor, and always ready to help with details. Pam effortlessly coordinated between us and all of our vendors without ever making us feel stressed or overwhelmed. Thanks to Pam, our wedding was simply magical. The wedding was a HUGE success, not just for us, but for all of our guests as well! We had so many compliments on every single detail, including how impressively Pam ran the event! Our minds were put at ease knowing that Pam was in charge of the day, and that she was so great with all of the details that would have stressed us out. We could have never imagined a wedding as incredible as ours was, and we could have never pulled it off without Pam!!! We thank you so much for everything Pam, from the bottom of our hearts! We absolutely adore you!
    -Allison and Michael C.

    Shantel and I are very grateful to have met Pam. She did a wonderful job and our wedding was perfect! She was responsive, professional, dependable, and flexible which helps when you are from out-of-town and need help planning an event. She made sure to check-in with us every month to ensure all the bases were covered. All we had to do was make yes/no decisions and pay the bills.

    Our guests have told us, on multiple occasions that our wedding was beautiful and… more importantly FUN! We could not have done it without the help of Pam and her team.

    Pam was absolutely perfect! She was meticulous in her planning and gently reminded us of big things and small things that needed to be done in preparation for our big day. She is warm and just has an amazing personality, perfect for when little things didn't go quite right on the day of the wedding. She is full of positivity. We had a blast!

    Pam planned my Indian-Hindu wedding (my husband is not Indian) and it was a perfect day. She made me feel at ease during the whole process and it was as though she had already done tons of Indian weddings. Her vendor recommendations were all on point (most of them hadn't done Indian weddings before, either) and she saved me a great deal of time and effort in the process. I must particularly commend her for guiding me in making logistical decisions that don't exist in your average American wedding. Pam was highly attentive to the nuances that come with a cross-cultural Indian wedding and the tastes of both audiences. She is meticulous, resourceful, and adaptable. Conventional wisdom for an Indian wedding was that I go with an Indian wedding planner who would know all the intricacies of the event. I'm really glad I didn't listen to said 'wisdom' and hired Pam. Her hard work and the relationship we built made my wedding the most magical day of my life. She is warm, genuine, and helps you feel immediately at ease with the whole process. I couldn't have asked for more, and I wouldn't have had such a perfect wedding without her.

    Working with Pam was an easy decision. From the beginning of our interaction, she was open, friendly, thoughtful, capable, and kind. I spoke to several planners and not only was she experienced, she was the most personable and approachable out of everyone. She approaches her clients with an uncommon warmth; you don't feel like you're working with a vendor. You feel like you're working with a friend. I would recommend her to anyone. She did it all for us. I gave her my vision, and she made it happen in every single way. We planned our wedding from a different state and she let me ship everything to her home. We communicated over email and phone and it never felt like she was in Texas and I was in California--it felt like she was my neighbor. The wedding was a big part of my life for many months, and I had a very distinct vision for every little detail involved. Pam was right with me on that vision, and executed it perfectly. Pam will make your day come together for you. She's committed and it shows. Endlessly grateful to her!

    Pam was like a fairy godmother throughout our entire planning process, and you should hire her. ^_^
    This was a second marriage for both of us, and we decided that we wanted to do a full-on "proper" wedding. Just a couple issues there: We're both extremely overscheduled, stressy perfectionists, introverted, and don't like haggling. And we wanted to have our wedding in Austin, instead of San Antonio where we live. That would have been a recipe for disaster without professional help. Turns out a lot of Austin-area wedding planners won't touch a wedding budgeted at less than $50,000, which was a bit more than we were looking to spend. I got a recommendation for Pam from our reception venue contact, who called her "truly magnificent." We set up a meeting with her, and were immediately sold. Pam is charming, assertive, and excellent at negotiating awkward situations - everything that we're not, basically! Most importantly, she knows the city and vendors like the back of her hand. We needed day-of services, but also vendors for everything besides the ceremony site, reception site, & band, which we chose before meeting her. We just had some vague ideas about what we wanted things to look like, and a rough budget. Pam asked the right questions to help us all figure out what we needed, and then ran with it. It was such a relief to know we weren't missing anything crucial, and to be able to trust that she was handling most of the logistics - especially during the last couple weeks when things got really crazy. [She also calmed me down when I got overwhelmed by life and started to lose my mind.] And on the actual wedding day, everything was great! Pam and her assistant deftly wrangled our friends and family into the right places at the right times, and we were able to relax and truly enjoy the day. I couldn't be more grateful for that.
    If you're considering your options, do yourself a favor and at least meet with her. You'll be happy you did. ;) Best wishes!

    Pam was an integral part of our wedding. Both my husband and I hold full-time, demanding careers which does not leave much of a margin for both wedding planning and stress. Simply put, Pam was my second brain. Anything that I needed at all, any recommendations on a part of the process or vendor, any questions whatsoever that popped into my head...I simply texted or emailed her and she always responded same day. I'm still not sure how she does everything so successfully and gracefully, but she is completely worth every penny. I was on a very tight budget, so the cost of a wedding planner was not anticipated, but the savings that you will receive from both the vendors and your "time and energy" substantiates the cost...and then some! In addition, Pam and her two assistance were there at the wedding to get everything set-up so that all my family and I had to do was enjoy time with one another. It was absolutely wonderful how well it came together. My father, the frugal one of the family, has said to me numerous times how absolutely impressed he was with Pam's services. That is HUGE. I still cannot believe how smooth everything went. When people ask me how the wedding was, I simply answer, "It was perfect in every way". And I mean it. Thank you so much, Pam, for being the wonderful, positive, amazing YOU! You have definitely found your calling, and I am so grateful for such a wonderful memory. :)

    Hi Pam,
    I couldn’t be more pleased with your service. All the organization and planning before the event was so helpful.
    Your experience and attention to detail at the rehearsal and at the wedding were phenomenal, I can’t imagine doing this without your assistance.
    Sarah said the discounts you arranged with the service providers more than offset your expense.
    Thanks again for the perfect wedding!

    Pam is the best. She is on top of everything, no matter what you throw at her. My spouse and I had some difficulties with juggling wedding planning and family expectations, but Pam handled it beautifully. I felt like she genuinely cared about us and our wedding, and about making it be the wedding we wanted it to be. And that's exactly what happened. On the day of, I didn't have to worry about anything other than dressing myself and showing up, because Pam and her assistant and interns took care of it all. With very little direction, they set up all our decorations, photos, candy buffet, etc. and made it absolutely beautiful. I had a lot of wedding-planning anxiety leading up to the event, but Pam's guidance, knowledge, and enthusiasm made everything turn out better than I could have hoped. I am beyond grateful that she was able to help us with our wedding. :)

    Celebrations made my special day PERFECT!! Once upon a time, in another life, I planned my own wedding.... I was young and thought I could save a few bucks by doing EVERYTHING myself. I have never been so stressed and overwhelmed. Every little detail was on my shoulder, my mind for months! From the pictures, it looked great but I didn't get to enjoy one second of it. So, second wedding, I wanted to elope. My idea of a wedding was STRESS. It was very important to my fiancé to have a "wedding" so he suggested I ask for help. I am so blessed to have found Pam Donaldson at Celebrations. She made the whole process easy. From our first meeting I knew she cared about me,my fiancé,and our day. She was fun, excited, and full of amazing ideas! Her vendors were all outstanding. Every small detail was in her hands. She held my hand all the way through and our wedding could not have been more amazing!! Not one thing went wrong all day(that I know of). To anyone that thinks they can do it on there own or it would be better for your budget to skip the wedding planner, you are wrong. Pam is worth every dollar!! She saved me more money off my original budget than her fee... I whole heartedly recommend Celebrations Wedding and Event Planning. Xoxo

    I cannot say enough good things about Celebrations and Pam. She is amazing to work with. Great ideas, responsiveness, follow through and results! My event was a success because of Pam and to top it off, she came in on short notice and knocked it out of the park!!! If you don't use Celebrations for your events you won't be getting the best there is, because she is the best!!!!!

    We are currently doing a 5 city beauty tour, and the 1st stop was in Austin, TX. We had so much stress on our shoulders to make this event "perfect" and it was. We couldn't have done it without Pam. She was diligent, keep us on task and was a beaming light of SUNSHINE to work with! Her energy is infectious and we enjoyed working with her. When the event was over, we were sad to not speak with her everyday! She threw a flawless beauty event, and in the beauty industry it is very rare to give an event planner that amount of respect and admiration. But, it's beyond true.

    She went out of her way to pitch to local media for us (being based in NYC, it's tough to pitch to locals) and got us a spot on FOX7 Morning 'Good Day Austin' news. She went over and beyond.

    We can't wait to have another event in Austin and hire Pam! If you haven't hired her yet, do it now!

    Pam was awesome. She was realistic without ever being negative, and found solutions and alternatives to meet my budget as well as my taste. Was able to reach 24/7. I was able to pick what I wanted, and then She took care of all the details making the time leading up to the wedding stress free. Would and have recommended to other friends.

    Pam really helped me personalized my outdoor wedding to meet my budget. It was such a relief to have someone taking care of the details every step of the way. If I had to plan it myself, I would have had many a sleepless night. Instead, Pam kept me on track of my obligations (ie: finding a dress, getting our marriage certificate, picking the menu,etc.) while she set up ordering the caterer, finding the linens, organizing the music, decorations, contacting the minister, negotiating contracts, ordering and arranging the flowers. etc). Even at the last minute, as it turned out to be rain, she was on target to finding us an extra Tent and stepping stones. The best part is that once we agreed to how the day would flow, I no longer had to worry. I could enjoy my own wedding and not worry if the food as being set out, the yard cleaned up,the toilet paper stocked, etc. My friends told me it was truly most fun they ever had at a wedding. You can place your trust in Pam's company, it ROCKS!

    We found Pam by pure luck on a google search and it turned out to be the biggest blessing. Pam is energetic, upbeat, personal & direct. She went above & beyond on wedding planning for us, exceeding all expectations. Pam stepped up to handle any situation & tackle any problem we were faced with. She was flexible for meetings to accommodate both of our schedules. She worked on price comparisons, booked tastings, & brought forth the best options and selections for every minor and major detail. The best decision we made for our wedding was to hire Pam. She provided outstanding services from the day we hired her until days after the event & is still in contact regularly. Thank you Pam for making our wedding the fairly tail we both envisioned into reality. We are forever grateful to you & your outstanding services.

    Choosing Celebrations Event Planning, having Pam as our planner was the best decision we made. Pam's expertise and experience was evident every step of the way. She guided us throughout the process, coordinating with all our vendors and mapping out a timeline that kept everything on track without pressure. Her responsiveness and availability was stellar. Her knowledge of the vendors, venues, etc. and her relationships with them made our decision making seamless. Her attention to details, especially how she listened to our wants and needs, created a realistic and amazing vision. We truly felt cared for and made a friend in the process. We can't speak enough about the quality person Pam is. She is smart, passionate and so nice! We would highly recommend her without any hesitation and use her again without a doubt.

    If you are trying to decide whether you're going to spend part of your wedding budget on a wedding planner, I'm here to tell you it was the best money we spent on our daughter's wedding! Pam took all of our ideas, and vision, and turned it into a perfect, beautiful, night! This is coming from a control freak, perfectionist, mother of the bride. It was wonderful to be able to relax, and enjoy my daughter's wedding and reception, and trust that Pam had everything under control, and kept everything/everyone on schedule so that the evening went smoothly, and on time. She's very professional, organized, and responds to emails/calls very promptly. She also has many venders that are wonderful, that she works with, and can get you a special deal on their rates. I know there were probably some things that came up, that she just handled without concerning us with, that we don't even know about. So many of our guests remarked that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. We hired Pam for her full service coordinating services, and it was worth EVERY PENNY! Trust me when I say you'll be glad you hired her!

    Pam was FANTASTIC! We were looking for a gay-friendly wedding planner that would take care of all details for us and she more than delivered. She was always available, quick to respond, very organized, thorough and most importantly, she took the time to truly know us and understand what we wanted our day to be like. She was open to us changing our minds as we went and while she has many recommendations on vendors she was open to us using others as well. What a tremendous experience - worry free for us. We strongly recommend Pam.

    Pam is an amazing wedding planner! Hiring Pam Donaldson as my daughter’s wedding planner was the best decision we made! Pam is a professional, outgoing and organized person and we enjoyed having her as part of our wedding planning team. Pam provided invaluable and unlimited guidance and suggestions on everything we asked.

    As the month approached for the wedding, she went above and beyond what was expected. She not only ensured that all the vendors and details were in order but, also resolved other issues as they arose and did so in a very professional manner.

    The best part was that on the wedding day, Pam was there early to oversee all the vendors and to take care of all the wedding-day details so we could completely enjoy every minute of our daughter’s amazing wedding day! We highly recommend Pam!

    Pam at Celebrations did an amazing job with our wedding. She was prompt, professional, very organized and friendly. She navigated the unique needs of our same-sex ceremony easily and pre-screened all our vendors to make sure they would have no issues working with a same-sex couple.

    Fantastic! Pam recently helped me plan a surprise birthday party for my husband. The event turned out better than I could have ever hoped. From selecting venues, choosing a menu, setting up a photographer, creating beautiful floral arrangements, and making sure the event got off without a hitch -Pam made every aspect perfect. And she kept me at the budget I was trying to hit! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing party or wedding planning.

    PAM PAM PAM!!! AMAZING... AMAZING AMAZING. Not only is she just awesome at what she does, she has a finese about herself and the way she keeps things going throughout the evening! It has taken me this long to come up with the words of how awesome she is, and i am still at a loss. I am very OCD about a lot of things and for the first time i felt that calm on the day of and everything would be taken care of... From our first meeting (over cocktails, of course) to our final hand off of my "To do" list (which she didnt even bat an eyelash at)... it was professionalism at its greatest! If you need someone to help make that day just that much better... THIS IS YOUR GIRL!!! (People that know me, know i am a customer service person's nightmare) ... Thank you PAM ... xoxox

    Pam is a wonderful wedding planner. I had an Indian wedding and she was able to find vendors that accommodated my needs. Her connections throughout Austin are priceless and her upbeat attitude keeps you going when things are frantic and stressful. She was able to roll with last minutes changes to our program and kept our guests happy. I would highly recommend this company for any event planning needs. Pam wasn't just our wedding planner, she became our new friend.

    Celebrations is the best! Pam with Celebrations did an amazing job planning and coordinating my wedding this past October at Vintage Villas in Austin, TX. She didn't miss a detail! She helped take my vision and make it a reality. She attended each of vendor meetings with me to make sure we didn't miss anything and made great suggestions on the linens, décor design and flower arrangements. She was in constant communication with me through the year and sending me reminders to keep me on track. The week before the wedding we met for our final meeting and I turned it all over to her and she ran with it. She contacted all my vendors to confirm everything and sent them an amazing timeline that she put together. I am very controlling so I didn't want to let go on the big day but I'm glad I did. Throughout the day, she made sure to keep us on track so everything ran smoothly This allowed me to get a facial, relax, get my hair and make-up done and not have to stress. She completed the entire set-up of my wedding and reception and executed my vision flawlessly. I wouldn't change a thing! Any bride would be thankful to have her coordinate their wedding. I really enjoyed working with her!

    Angela was an amazing wedding coordinator for us. Here are the highlights:
    1) Detail oriented, didn't let one detail go unmissed!
    2) Flexible! She catered to my needs and my budget! When the budget got tight, she got creative!
    3) Professional. You want someone who you can rely on and Angela was all that and more
    4) Went above and beyond. Angela is so passionate about making sure the bride and groom are happy she worked extra hours just to make that happen.

    With Celebrations, you definitely get your money's worth and work with some wonderful, reassuring people in the process. I would absolutely recommend their work to anyone.

    We just got married October 9, 2010 and Pam Donaldson was our wedding planner. From our initial conversation to our big day Pam was wonderful. Our wedding was out of town and we had to bring everything in from the tent and tables to the restrooms. She did a terrific job, she was organized and very responsive to our needs. We could not have asked for our big day to have been any better. Pam and her team took care of everything so we could relax and enjoy our big day. Even our guests commented on how great Pam was. I highly recommend Celebrations Wedding and Event Planning for any big event, they were wonderful. The best decision we made in planning our wedding was hiring Pam.

    I hired Pam as a day-of-coordinator for my October wedding and she was hands down the best investment I made. She went above and beyond any expectations I had in the beginning of the whole plannng process and really made our wedding day stress-free and beautiful! She has a great level of energy and event planning is definitely the perfect fit for her. In addition to setting up our reception site (which was amazing!!), she helped me stay on track with all my DIY projects, coordite with all our remaining vendors, create a timeline, and pretty much told us where we needed to be/what we needed to do throughout the day of our wedding. Because of her I was able to fully enjoy our wedding, without stress! I HIGHLY recommend her if you're looking for a planner in the Austin area- you won't regret it!!!!

    Pam Donaldson is an amazing wedding planner. From day one she works with you to make your wedding vision a reality. She has a great eye for elegance and quality. I appreciated her excellent organization skills and communication throughout the entire planning process. I can't imagine trying to plan my wedding without her. On wedding day, she kept everything running on time and everything went along on schedule. I have referred several friends to Celebrations and will continue to recommend Pam in the future.

    Pam with Celebrations Event planning was truly the glue that held my wedding together. I'm so glad that I didn't try to plan everything myself as having Pam do all the planning left me able to enjoy my wedding. I got to make all the decisions and Pam made it happen and when I saw my reception room it was absolutely perfect. From table linens to keeping the reception running on time, she did it all and everything went smoothly. She is all about you and listens to what YOU want for your big day. I would definitely recommend her to every bride. She knows what she's doing and you really want/need someone like that by your side throughout the biggest day of your life.

She listens to what you are envisioning, and creates a detailed plan to pull all of your ideas together. She is very easy to talk to and by the wedding day, you feel like she is your friend. She was an invaluable resource and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
