  The best wedding decision we made!

  Tl;dr - hire Holly as your wedding planner!!! She was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We did her full planning package, so she was with us from literally day 1 starting with helping us pick our venue. Having Holly really meant we could sit back and just let her guide us throughout the entire planning process — she told us when we needed to make what decision, and had amazing recommendations for each vendor. When it came to our wedding day, we truly felt no stress thanks to Holly and her team. They had everything handled perfectly — our families were so impressed too! You can tell she’s done this a million times in the best way, but at the same time she makes everything a perfect fit for your specific wedding. And to top it all off, you use all the decor she already has on hand. Like I mentioned — if you’re thinking about it, hire Holly!! I can’t recommend her enough!

  Simply Amazing

  Holly was an amazing planner and coordinator. My husband and I both hate planning and Holly handled us like a complete champ. She was super patient, flexible, understanding, and knowledgeable. She definitely kept us on track and was really down to earth. She was just what we needed--she was incredibly organized, offered a lot of ideas and suggestions (because in addition to hating planning, we are also ridiculously indecisive), coordinated everything with the vendors, and made sure we were submitting all the paperwork/payments we needed to complete.
  
  She completely guided us every step of the way and had great recommendations. We also got several discounts with vendors by booking through her. We're so glad we went with a planner and that she was able to coordinate everything on the day-of as well. Please giver her a call or shoot her an e-mail, you won't regret it!!

  Wonderful Coordinator

  Holly was amazing and very helpful. She reviewed all our vendor contracts, answered all of our questions in a timely manner, and connected with vendors when we were not able to do so. Holly was very thorough with the major and minor details and was able to provide miscellaneous items for our wedding that we would not have thought to bring. Her assistant, Kimmy, was on top of place cards, guest lists, seating chart, etc. and both Holly and Kimmy helped our wedding day run smoothly. We would highly recommend Holly to help coordinate the wedding of your dreams.

  Worth the investment

  We found Holly Kalkin’s company through our venue’s recommendation, we worked with Barb in the Phoenix area and she was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and timely. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator!

  An integral part of our day

  We booked Holly as our week of coordinator for our December wedding because our venue required it, and thank goodness they did and we found her!! She was an integral part of our day. I am such a planner & have a hard time letting go of things, but Holly had this calm but get things done demeanor that gave me all the confidence in her. As things were changing last min (as they do with weddings!) she was there fixing. The things I didn’t think to do until minutes before were already done. She also had great advice, a great eye for putting things together, and was just beyond organized. We even got comments from my parents and our bridal party about how helpful and on top of everything she was. I am so, so pleased we booked Holly and would make that decision 100x over!

  Really brought our day together

  We worked with Holly and Stephanie and both were so lovey and accommodating. Holly was out initial point of contact. She was very helpful and considerate; for example she had a Mary Poppins bag of wedding supplies she let us borrow on the day of.
  
  Stephanie was our month/day of coordinator. She had great communication and made sure everyone knew what they needed to know. Day of was seemless. She was professional, always on the ball, and a very sweet person. There was no problem she didn't have a solution for.

  Highly Recommend - Fabulous Wedding Planner!

  We were working with another wedding coordinator but we didn’t feel like being taken care of so we decided to work with Holly instead. It was the best decision ever made. We worked with her and could not recommend her more!
  
  Holly was amazing, helpful, and supportive throughout this process, and she really held us together despite all of our stress! She was extremely detail-oriented and we could really depend on her to make sure everything was set and done. We had the best day and really owed so much of that to Holly. She took care of everything on our day so that our families and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. Could not have chosen a better wedding planner!
  
  Thank you, Holly! It was such a pleasure working with you!

  Rebecca at HKW was amazing!

  We had the pleasure of working with Rebecca from Holly Kalkin Weddings as our wedding coordinator. We hired her for the Wedding Management Coordination Package, and we would highly recommend Rebecca and Holly. Rebecca was there with us every step of the way, and we frequently reached out to her to review vendor contracts or advice during the months before our wedding. Her vendor recommendations were spot on, and we were so happy with all of the vendors we booked for our wedding. Rebecca is organized, extremely experienced, and a pleasure to work with. If you are considering booking Holly or a member of her team, do not hesitate!

  Amazing Wedding Coordinator!!!

  My wife and I worked with Holly as our month of coordinator for our wedding in Oct 2021. From the communication to the detailed schedule management, the wedding decorations on the day of, and so much more, Holly was able to manage our expectations as my wife and I did not know a lot of things going into the wedding. Holly also knew the venue we booked (Bali Hai) so she was able to help us answer our questions and guide us on how the wedding ceremony would be like all the way to the end of the night where she helped with cleanup. Holly painted a very clear picture for us! And during the rehearsal the day before the wedding, with her walking us through the process and going over every little detail with us, our bridal party and parents, and our officiant, she helped ease our nerves for the day of!
  
  Holly was incredibly professional throughout the entire process, she was very open to all of our crazy ideas we wanted to put into the wedding and helped execute them to such a higher standard than what we were expecting.
  
  You will NOT regret booking Holly as your wedding coordinator! Holly even has her own inventory of wedding decorations that can really save you lots of headaches, time, and some dollars! All of her decorations really brightened the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception for our guests, every little detail added up and we're so thankful to her for and her assistant Rebecca for helping set up everything!
  
  On our wedding day, as most couples are I am sure, we were crazy busy with preparations, makeup, photos, and more so having Holly and her wonderful assistant Rebecca there to set up the venue and organize all of our various vendor communications, put out our wedding favors, set the decorations, and prepare our ceremony (sand and tea) requirements was an absolute delight and really saved us so much stress and time.
  
  Holly and her team member Kimmy were even able to help us print our seating charts and wedding programs that they helped us design to match our wedding colors which turned out as beautiful as the rest of the amazing decorations!
  
  Thanks again Holly, Kimmy, and Rebecca!

  Holly was amazing while planning from Canada during COVID!

  Holly was the comforting, caring, and responsive partner that we needed while planning our wedding from Canada during COVID-19. Upon engaging with Holly, we never could have foreseen being unable to visit our venue until weeks before the wedding. She remained calm, cool, and collected and truly made us feel as though the wedding of our dreams was still possible - and it was! It went off beautifully; through all the changes and challenges. We also loved each of the vendors that Holly recommended, and it was very helpful that they had worked together previously. I would absolutely recommend Holly to plan weddings for any of my girlfriends or loved ones.

  Best wedding planner!

  I am so unbelievably happy we went with Holly Kalkin Wedddings to plan our wedding. We worked with Barb and she made what would’ve been a stressful process, an absolutely joy. She was always there with ideas, to answer any questions, and as a great support system for my husband and I. Our day was flawless and we owe that to her!

  Amazing Experience! Absolutely Recommend!

  At first we were hesitant on whether we would need a day of Coordinator. Looking back, hiring Barb and the Holly Kalkin team was the best wedding decision we made!
  
  Barb and her team were wonderful to work with from the start of our experience with them. Barb helped us make our Covid friendly backyard wedding a reality. We used Holly Kalkin’s day of coordinator service and it was worth every penny! Barb took the time to go through every step on our initial phone call even before she was hired. Her attention to detail, punctuality, ora of calm and her generosity with her time for our questions made her stand out above all the rest!
  
  Even though we only used Holly Kalkin Weddings for the day of, Barb directed us to amazing vendors, answered all our questions throughout the process, coordinated with vendors and created a detailed itinerary that she communicated with the team. Barb even met with us at the home ahead of time to run through the plan for the set up, decor and layout.
  
  On the day of, our wedding reception would not have been as wonderful without Barb and her team. All communication with vendors went through her, she set up and took down all our decorations and helped us transition smoothly throughout the evening. Barb even helped make sure tips got where they needed to go when family members handed her the cash! The day was even better than we had imagined and we know Barb was a major part in making that possible. We are so thankful and blessed to have found Barb! We are forever grateful and we would recommend her a thousand times over!

  Professional coordinator, highly recommend!

  We hired Holly Kalkin to be our day-of wedding coordinator. We met a couple of times and exchanged lots of emails before the wedding. She is very experienced, responsive, organized, and professional, as well as being just a great person and fun to work with. She made it all seem easy, and on the big day she made sure everything went smoothly according to plan.

  Holly made our lives so much easier!

  We booked Holly as our month-of coordinator for our wedding in mid-March. She was a superstar! We planned our San Diego wedding from our home in Australia, and Holly was kept us super organized leading up to the day, which took a lot of stress off of us. She is super easy to communicate with and a really lovely person in general. I would highly recommend her!

  My highest recommendation!

  We used Holly Kalkin Weddings for our day of coordinator, and Rebecca Podmenik was our specific coordinator for the day. We worked with Holly throughout most of the process, and then with Rebecca for the big day. We can not say enough positive things about working with both Holly and Rebecca! They are both incredible! Holly provided very detailed and helpful checklists and referrals, and was always available to help with any questions I had during the process. She has such a warm and positive personality, and is an absolute joy to work with! Rebecca was a super-star for the day of coordination. SO many of my family members and friends came up to me to tell me what an awesome job Rebecca was doing. She was calm, poised, professional, kind, organized, positive, and super supportive. I give them my highest recommendation. You will not be disappointed if you hire them.

  Absolutely Loved Working With Holly

  We absolutely loved working with Holly!!! We met at a meet and greet at our venue and from the beginning she was so kind, engaging and professional. She had our backs from the very beginning, fielding questions about florists, giving us reviews on other vendors and overall just calming any stress we had. Her, patient, clam demeanor and kindness was exactly what we needed on the day, and we could trust everything was in very good hands. The day of she and her team set up our beautiful reception space - she took our vision for the day and made it a reality.

  Made our day

  Holly was INCREDIBLE. She was on top of it when it came down to all the little details, making sure everything flowed PERFECTLY, and was so patient and sweet the entire time leading up to the wedding and during the big day. She made our wedding flawless and perfect. We are so happy we hired her.

  Best Coordinators in the Business - Hands down!

  Holly was a blessing that came from an excellent referral from our DJ! We were very late to the coordinating game, but Holly jumped right on everything and took care of us. We were so nerve-wracked about planning a wedding from afar and getting all of the details right. Our venue’s director was let go the day that I flew in to do our walk-thru and Holly didn’t skip a beat and handled all the details anyway! She was so sweet and listened to all my wants and ideas and calmed all my worries away. She made sure I knew what I should ask for and gave me so many pro-tips I never would have thought of on my own and didn’t read anywhere online. Even though she was not going to be the one coordinating our wedding on the day-of, I was 1000% confident in her professionalism and care and trusted who she trusted. I'm also soo glad we went with their rental package, all of the little details and signs she provided went a loooong way. I had no idea how much I would have had to spend to get all of those little cute details another route!
  
  Kriselle coordinated our wedding and was so amazing in so many ways. She wasted zero minutes and got everything done, pulled me away minimally and executed all of the décor flawlessly. She showed up on time and got to work and made everything so, so easy for us. We cannot thank you two enough for your dedication and for making our day so special and beautiful!

  A Dream Wedding Coordinator

  I highly recommend Holly Kalkin Weddings whether you want someone to plan parts of your wedding or handle every single detail. Holly is a top-notch professional with great experience. She provided good advice and was a fantastic partner working well with other vendors I hired. Most important, Holly was able to take my vision and bring it to life. I hired Holly for week-of/day-of execution so that I could be totally present for my big day and not worry about making sure my vendors were doing what I needed them to. I am so thankful for Holly, and consider her a lifelong friend for helping me have the wedding of my dreams.

  We could not imagine our day without Holly!

  She somehow managed SO many things during our wedding but not once looked stressed or rushed. From our rehearsal to the last minute of our reception, Holly was smiling, sweet, and totally calm (which was the exact balance I needed!). She worked so well with all of our vendors and is such a pro!

  Hiring Holly was the Best Decision!

  Holly is beyond amazing and so worthy of all the 5 stars and awards! Whether it be an intimate or grand event, a guest list the size of a doubles tennis team to the population of a small island or 2... YOU NEED HOLLY. The journey of planning our wedding started off as overwhelming, stressful and crazy until I found Holly Kalkin Weddings. At first, I was not inclined to hire a coordinator because I didn't think it would be worth it for our small wedding. I could not have been more wrong and I'm so glad I changed my mind. From the first meeting 10 months before our wedding, I instantly felt relaxed and more confident about our day. She listened to our vision, expertly reminded us of things we didn't think about, generously provided so much support, and invariably responded to our questions. Where do I find that? Will I need to run around and do this? Holly gave pro tips on how to navigate all the paperwork and assured me every step of the way that she would take care of our day. Part of the contract included unlimited communication with her, so that was already the biggest sigh of relief for me! Because along the way, I needed suggestions left and right for dress alterations, audio equipment, and other vendors. Sure enough Holly had a complete and thorough list of vendors she and her team have worked with and recommend. Even when my last minute flowers order from Plan A store did not pull through, she had a Plan B and C ready at the wings. All I needed to do was write a check--and the flowers came out 100% perfect by the way! Hiring Holly is the gift of calm and kindness to your soul you never knew you needed. Trust me. And like any other bride, I was overcome by worry a few times. Holly sent me kind reminders and thoughtful words to keep me focused on the joy of our most special day. She takes care of working with many details at the venue and rehearsal schedule. The month before the wedding, Holly completely shines when she goes over everything with a fine-tooth comb for the coordination of all the vendors and the day's timeline where everything and everyone is accounted for to the exact minute. I specifically want to highlight her extreme patience, understanding, and respect for my family on the rehearsal day. Everything Holly says and does comes from a sincere and gentle spirit--I cannot emphasize enough how essential this is in your day-of coordinator. Holly made me feel like I was truly the most important person to her every time we would interact. On the day of, all of our guests could not stop raving about how warm and friendly Holly has been! We thank her wholeheartedly for her time and efforts. She was a delightful addition to our wedding day and to our hearts as a sweet friend forever.
  We are so blessed to have found you, Holly!

  You need Holly, trust me :)

  I'd like to start out by saying that I had zero intentions of working with a wedding planner/coordinator. For one, it was not something I had planned into my overall wedding budget. and two, it never really came to mind that I would need one. When my wedding venue mentioned it was a requirement and that I could use a friend or family member to fill the role I thought "oh man who the heck am I going to recruit to do this". Well luck would have it that one of my bridesmaids knew someone and the more I thought about it, I figured what could it hurt getting information. Shortly after I contacted Holly. Holly quickly responded to my email and sent me lots of information on the different services she provides. After reviewing the different packages I decided on the "week of" package. I had already lined up most of my vendors, so I figured some help the week of would be great.
  
  Let me tell you, one of THE BEST decisions I made during the entire wedding process. You might not think that you need the help or that spending the extra money is worth it but HOLLY IS WORTH EVERY PENNY and then some!!! She was AMAZING! She really went above and beyond for me from the get go. Five months before my wedding, my fiancé had to unexpectedly leave for work travel and miss our food tasting. I asked Holly if she could come with me since the venue coordinator wanted to go over other details at the food tasting, Holly came with me. With little to no notice, she was able to meet me there. Thank god she was there, she had good ideas and also gave me loads of information and things for me to think about that I didn't realize I was missing. Her expertise and insight was greatly appreciated!
  
  Holly also put together my entire wedding day itinerary, something I never really thought about nor had the time to do. My work schedule was nuts the month leading up to my wedding and it was getting hard to keep up. But she had everything covered from when vendors needed to arrive down to the last minute of the night and when vendors would arrive for breakdowns. Holly was on top of everything! I got another preview of Holly's skills during our rehearsal the day before. Again, she covered so many things I would have NEVER thought of that need to happen during a wedding ceremony. She was sooo knowledgeable and professional yet felt like a friend while she helped our wedding party through the rehearsal process.
  
  The day of our wedding, neither of us really had a care in the world! Ladies, I completely underestimated the amount of time and detail that goes into the day of your wedding. I'm talking down to the holders you will need to hold your table number cards to how your gifts will make it to your room when the night is over to who will take your wedding favors to the ballroom while you are getting hair and makeup done to the easels you will need to hold your welcome sign. These are things you are NOT going to be thinking of/don't have the time to think of or handle when your family and friends start arriving the days leading up to your wedding. And because of Holly and the fact that she thought of those things first, we had it all covered the day of the wedding. I'd like to think that I am very organized and always think of everything but when it comes to your wedding its not possible to remember it all and if you want the day to go by and be as memorable as possible you need HOLLY!

  Nothing short of amazing!

  Holly was nothing short of amazing!!!! My wedding went flawlessly and that was because of her, she was outstanding! She was on top of everything throughout the whole wedding process. She is very sweet, calm, organized, and knowledgeable about the wedding process. She knows what it takes to make a wedding go smoothly; from the detailed timeline to informing the DJ what to announce next, she had her hand in every part of the day. I didn’t have to worry at all on my wedding day because I knew Holly was on top of it and making sure everything went as planned. I couldn’t have ask for anything more from a wedding coordinator. Having a wedding coordinator is a must and I would highly recommend Holly and her company to everyone.

  Great coordinator for destination wedding

  Holly was our day of coordinator for our destination wedding in San Diego. She made all the coordination with the venue and other vendors super easy leading up to the wedding day. It was really nice being able to enjoy the days before with my friends and family and not have to worry about making sure vendors had timelines and details, everything was taken care of. Not only was she organized but she is a really sweet person. She helped us run the the rehearsal quickly and easily, got everyone organized before the ceremony and stayed to the end to make sure everything made it back to our room so we could enjoy celebrating with our guests. I really recommend Holly!

  Theeeee best coordinator out there!

  Holly was without a doubt theeee best wedding coordinator out there. Without her my day easily could have been chaos. Holly went above and beyond with helping not only coordinate the vendors but she was helping set up. She is the sweetest person to work with and working with a wedding party of 26 she was calm at all times! Her communication is on point and always responded in a timely fashion. Even though she was hired for a day of coordinator she helped with recommendations throughout the process. My day was a dream and so seamless thanks to Holly. I loved every minute of working with her! Thank you Holly for everything !
