    Responsive, thoughtful, creative and diligent

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

    Highly recommend poised events

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

    Congrats again Abbey! Thank you for your kind words. It was wonderful getting to know you and trusting us with your wedding. Alyssa has said nothing but amazing things and the pictures are stunning! HUGS

    Donnah is amazing!

    When you are planning your wedding, you are always asked “what is your vision” or “what are your must haves at your wedding.” Donnah took all our ideas and made them come alive and even more incredible than we could have imagined. She really helps to keep you on track with your planning and is frequently checking in on you to make sure you are enjoying your wedding planning. She is the nicest person, so personable and you can tell she genuinely cares about her couples and their big day! We are so happy that we chose Donnah to be our day-of coordinator.

    Poised Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Hannah for the kind words!! You and Keegan were SO much fun and your family & friends were AMAZING... let's do it again!! Wishing you all the best

    Poised Events Made Our Wedding Day Seamless!

    Wow. We cannot say enough positive things about Poised Events and our day-of-coordinator, Alyssa! We are so grateful for all Alyssa did to make our wedding day seamless. She was extremely responsive, easy to talk with, and had a lot of great advice and input as we moved into our wedding weekend. We can't think of a single thing that went on our wedding day and know so much of that is because Alyssa was there to deal with any and everything that came up so we didn't have to! If you're looking for a wedding planner/day-of coordinator we would 110% recommend Poised Events. A huge thank you for all you did!!

    Poised Events's reply:

    Thank you Kelly for your kind words! It was such a pleasure meeting you and Jeff (even if it was virtual). Thank you for trusting Alyssa with your special day! We can't wait to see pictures!

    Donnah is the best!

    Donnah is everything you would want in a wedding planner. Calm, classy, hilarious, quick on her feet, and, most importantly, KIND. She wants you to have the best day of your life, and you feel that from start to finish. Not to mention, she is a lot of fun (even joined us out on the dance floor for a song or two!). I am extremely type A and had a vision; when I tell you Donnah helped execute that vision flawlessly... I mean it. She is the epitome of a wedding planner, and I would refer her ten times over.

    Poised Events's reply:

    I love you Cassie & Kyle! These pictures are amazing thank you for sharing. Your words mean everything and this is why I LOVE WHAT I DO!!!

    Above and beyond

    Alyssa went above and beyond, taking care of details I had never considered and making sure on my wedding day I just had to show up! I had very little vision and when the guests came to the wedding everyone remarked on how gorgeous it was- all Alyssa’s doing! She has such a positive attitude and she so flexible! She made our day so special :)

    Poised Events's reply:

    Congratulations again Monica and thank you so much for your kind words! I knew Alyssa would be a great fit for you and I heard it was an amazing celebration. Thanks for trusting us with your special day!

    Flawless Coordination

    Donnah got our initial info and Alyssa was our day of coordinator. I could not say enough good things about our experience! She made our vision a reality and allowed us to be fully present as she took care of everything.

    Donnah was great!

    Donnah was wonderful! I hired her as a day of coordinator for a unique venue (we had no water, no electricity, it was all DIY, etc.), and she helped make our day a complete success! Donnah gave us great recommendations for vendors (hire Monty as a bartender!) as well as organized the day minute by minute. She went above and beyond on our wedding day, and even helped our other vendors with some of their tasks. Donnah has a very fun personality and is the person you want to be with on your wedding day! I definitely recommend hiring Donnah!

    I don’t know what I would have done without Alyssa helping us out all day! I’m one of those people who thought having a coordinator was excessive but wow, has my mind changed. Highly recommend Alyssa for your big day, she is beyond worth it!

    100% Recommend!

    Alyssa and Donnah were absolutely wonderful! We hired them for our day-of coordinator and they made us feel good about the day from the get-go. Alyssa was our main point of contact and did such a fantastic job handling all the decor and scheduling details, even entertaining our flower girl, and helping close out the night seamlessly. 100% recommend!

    Poised Events made our perfect wedding possible

    Donna and Alyssa were so helpful making sure everything was in order for the big day. Alyssa was a phenomenal day-of coordinator. So professional, helpful, intuitive, and detail-oriented! I can't stress enough how unstressed we were on the wedding day because of Alyssa's hard work and "yeah, no problem, I got it" attitude. A million times thank you!

    Flawless day, so great to work with!

    Donnah & her team were SO helpful and reliable, they made sure everything went perfectly on our special day. If anything went off plan I had no idea about it & that's how it should be!! I felt confident that Donnah would make any necessary decisions and I had full trust in her. She was so prompt in responding during planning and dealt with other vendors so I could focus elsewhere. Truly we were SO grateful to have Donnah and her team recommended to us, we could not be happier!!!

    Saved the Day!

    We contacted Poised Events after recommendations from our other vendors (photographer, florist, another planner) just a month or so before our wedding…. As our original planner no-showed/ghosted us our walk through! Donnah came to the rescue. They are very organized, thoughtful, and professional. It made me so much more comfortable handing my big day over to Donnah and Alyssa. They did a great job making it stress free! Thank you!!!

    An all around amazing team!

    Donnah and her team were absolute rockstars. After finding out we were expecting a baby and deciding to move up our wedding, we planned our entire shindig from start to finish within 6 weeks! Thanks to Donnah's help the wrangling of vendors and ironing out of all details and scheduling was a breeze, and the day-of coordination was phenomenal. Her team was so intentional about making sure my husband and I took little moments for ourselves throughout the day, which wound up being some of my favorite little memories. 11/10 would recommend Donnah! Thank you so much to the entire Poised team for making our 'day party wedding' vision a success. Love, Lauren and Stephen

    Great Experience with Poised Events!

    I worked with Donnah and Alyssa for my wedding planning/coordination. From the beginning things just clicked with Donnah when we met and I felt like she understood my vision and I trusted her with all the details. She worked hard and was extremely flexible and made time to meet with me several times over the course of planning (which spanned a year and a half with Covid delays). She was so helpful when I had to re-plan several things due to Covid and then the day of the event Alyssa stepped in and went above and beyond in her day of coordination duties. She immediately took the reigns and was on board with everything we needed and wanted for our wedding and was incredibly sweet and professional! Thank you to Poised Events for all your hard work in making my wedding perfect! We had a lot of details and everything came together and was done exactly how we wanted it!

    Poised Events's reply:

    Congrats Callae & Mark!! It was so great getting to know and planning as we ALL were figuring out COVID. The pictures and your colors were AMAZING and I can't wait for the professional ones! Drinks soon!!!!

    Best money spent on entire wedding!

    I highly recommend Donna and Poised Events. Our caterer and our events space director both suggested we hire a wedding coordinator. I am so thankful that we heeded their advice. Donna truly managed the entire day without a hitch. The young people loved her and, as the mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy the wedding without a worry. During his toast, my husband thanked Donna and added that our investment in her services was the best money spent on the entire wedding. The celebration ended at 10:00 and we were driving away at 10:25. I'm not sure how she did it, but Donna had everything in my car that I needed and had sent everything my daughter needed to her house. I can't provide enough praise for Donna and this agency.

    Best wedding planner ever!

    Donnah is the best! She helped us with my daughter's June wedding in downtown Denver. We would not have had the wonderful wedding day without her help. She is very organized, professional, friendly, positive and always ready to help or answer a question. She made sure the day went as the bride wanted. We knew she was always looking our for us. Even our guests who interacted with her were very impressed. She kept the day moving on schedule while letting us also take the time to enjoy the many special moments of the day. She orchestrated all the ceremony and reception set up and take down. Somehow she was able to gather all of our wedding décor, bridal suite decorations and personal items so we could easily find them to take them home the next day. She also dealt with the venue so we had nothing to do but enjoy the wedding.
    If you are planning a wedding, hiring Donnah as your wedding planner will be the best money you spend.

    Donnah is the best

    Donnah and team were fantastic. I wasn't sold on the idea that I would want or need a planner, but Donnah exceeded all expectations. The first time we met, via FaceTime, I knew I was going to end up working with her. She energy and vibes are amazing, she's personable and strives to make your vision for your special day, come to life. Everyone in my wedding party and members of my family had only outstanding things to say about her. She knows what she is doing and she is damn good at it. I gained a friend from this experience! Poised Events is the way to go!!

    I cannot recommend Poised Events enough! Donnah's event experience, strong communication skills, and positive energy are unmatched- it really felt like she was my partner in planning my wedding. Because of Donnah, I was truly able to be in the moment on my wedding day.

    Don't plan a wedding without Poised Events!

    Donnah and Poised events were such an amazing addition to our wedding team. What sold us on Donnah at first was her responsiveness when we first reached out, and she did not disappoint from that point on. From organizing venue tours, to answering our millions of question, and her patience when we worked through the entire crazy wedding planning process. Donnah's previous experience working for a catering company, led to her having countless quality connections and relationships that helped her coordinate the entire process quickly and efficiently.

    I was so wrapped up in the excitement of the day, I left all my things in the bridal suite, including my phone, wallet, and change of clothes. Donnah knew to think about this and to get these things to my bridesmaids. Her knowledge and expertise in everything from choosing a vendor to making our day run smoothly was invaluable, and helped created the perfect wedding day. We could not recommend Donnah and Poised events enough. If you're thinking about reaching out, do it and you won't be disappointed.

    Kind, Magical, Detail Oriented

    Donnah was nothing but helpful and understanding. Throughout the planning process (in a pandemic) she was patient and kind. Her attention to detail and set up on the day of really helped add the finishing touches! Thank you Donnah!

    Alyssa is an amazing planner to work with!

    I am a wedding photographer, and I cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough. I loved working with her. She made my job so easy. My clients loved her. Alyssa was a massive part of having a perfect wedding day!
    If you are looking for a planner who will take all the stress from you on your wedding day, I highly recommend Alyssa at Poised Events, she really knows what she is doing!

    Poised Events's reply:

    Thank you Bonnie! I will share this with Alyssa. From one vendor to another, this warms my heart and hope we can work together again soon
