    Love her - amazing

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

    Perfection - 10.02.2022

    WOW.

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

    Recommendation for PSE!

    Wow, where to even begin! Abbey was such a fantastic planner, we really had the most beautiful day. We had our wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch on May 29, 2022, but we started planning on the late side (did not book the venue until August 2022). Abbey immediately helped us feel right on track. Right from the start, Abbey took the time to get to know us as a couple. By doing this, she was able to match our energy and execute our vision perfectly. She connected us with most talented vendors who made our day absolutely spectacular. Just a few examples- we wanted a showstopper floral arrangement- she hooked it up with Lale florals (look them up). We...

    I would book PSE for every event

    Abbey is hands down he most incredible wedding planner. I can’t even begin to explain how perfect she was for our wedding day. We paid for month of coordination and the only thing I would have changed, is that we should have paid for the full package because she made every process SO easy, especially since we were planning an out of state wedding in Colorado living in Texas. A wedding planner is one of the first vendors you book, and you don’t realize how important they are until way later - don’t make this mistake. THEY ARE VITAL. And Abbey truly blew us away; vendors were on point, timing on everything was perfect, her recommendations saved our day...

    The best!

    Working with Abbey from PSE was an amazing experience. We had to postpone our initial wedding one year due to the pandemic, so we had the pleasure of working with Abbey for 2 whole years. I am not very much of the planner type, nor someone who enjoyed wedding planning, so I was super grateful for Abbey/PSE throughout. She is very patient, professional, responsive, kind, relaxed, experienced, and knowledgeable. She was able to recommend amazing vendors within the budget we gave to her -- I think all of our vendors we hired were based off of her recommendations, and our wedding was perfect and so much more than we could have ever dreamed of. The week leading up to...

    Don't walk, run to hire Abbey!

    Abbey is the person you want to hire for your wedding. Abbey is extremely talented, professional, creative and wonderful to work with. She has outstanding relationships with vendors, artists and venues around Colorado. Wedding planning can be very stressful, especially the weeks leading up to the big day, however, Abbey seamlessly took over all communication and responsibility without a hitch. There was also another level of complexity due to my husband and I planning a destination wedding in Vail (as we live in Chicago). It was advantageous to have boots on the ground and someone to help us navigate the whole process. Additionally, one of our top priorities for our initial planner search was to work with someone who...

    Trust us, you want to hire Purple Summer Events!

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

    Abbey with PSE was the planner of our dreams!

    Abbey was the wedding planner of our dreams! From the very start she understood my vision and made it all come to life! She has a great eye for design and really knows her stuff when it comes to other vendors you will use for your wedding. At our rehearsal and on our wedding day, Abbey brought a sense of calm and joyfulness that everyone truly appreciated. I trusted Abbey completely throughout the entire process and she exceeded all of my expectations! Abbey, your passion for what you do is apparent and we cannot thank you enough!

    Just go with PSE...

    We absolutely loved working with Abbey. From the moment we were with her, she allowed us to enjoy every stage of the planning process by keeping us organized and on schedule, and simplifying decisions so we could just focus on what we really wanted instead of trying to sift through a million different possible vendors. This feeling 100% extended to wedding day. Everything was so organized and prepared ahead of time that we truly just got to sit back, relax, and enjoy the day. She gave us such a gift by allowing us to just take in the moment and not worry about a thing. We can't thank her (or recommend) her enough! Making this one choice made every other choice we made 1000 times easier.

    Thanks Abbey!

    A Rare Gem!

    Where to begin?? Abbey is a rare gem and worth every penny. She listened to us very carefully during every phone call and meeting and it showed in all her vendor recommendations. She made the whole planning process so smooth for us, despite getting married in Denver, a city we had lived in for less than a year. She was calm, professional but fun, warm and energetic. My husband and I had our dream wedding (literally not one thing we would change) and it would not have been possible without Abbey and her expertise. All of our guests were so impressed with the whole weekend and a lot of them even commented on how great Abbey was. She was...

    Invaluable

    We were recommended to PSE by our wedding venue and it was the best advice we could have received. Abbey guided us in choosing all of our vendors which was invaluable because we were planning a wedding from out of state. We were extremely happy with all of the ones she did help us to choose. She kept me on track with her monthly checklists and was not discouraged when I continued to be a month or two behind !! She was able to understand my vision when I didn't understand it myself. And on the big day she remained calm and helped me to do the same. She took care of every detail and made sure it was the absolute best day of my life !! Thank you

    PSE was so wonderful to work with! They made everything go down without a single problem and made my day so perfect because of their wonderful skills! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and reliable! I would recommend them over and over! OH, and Caroline was our day of coordinator - she was PERFECT!

    100% Recommend

    Abbey and Purple Summer Events were absolutely instrumental in helping us turn our wedding day into something incredibly personal, massively fun, and truly magical! From our 10-month planning process to the day of our wedding (and beyond), every little detail was well thought through, and implemented perfectly. Abbey made us feel like royalty, took the stress on herself when needed (while still having a calming presence), made sure every detail was in place, and always had a smile on her face. Her monthly checklists kept us on schedule, ensuring we had all of the important (and fun) aspects of our planning set, and keeping them from becoming stresses later on. Even our friends and family noticed her A+ work...

    PSE is the best!

    We are so lucky to have had Abbey Hoefling and Purple Summer Events as our day-of coordinator. From the very beginning when we were just looking at coordinators, Abbey was so pleasant to talk with and was willing to answer any questions we needed. Even though Abbey was our day-of (which was really month-of) coordinator, she was happy to provide vendor recommendations and answer the nitty gritty questions I would send her way, at multiple points leading up to the month of the wedding. Once Abbey took over as our month-of coordinator, I felt extremely relieved. Abbey is so organized and on top of things, I knew I never had to worry about her taking care of all of...

    I cannot say enough about Abbey with Purple Summer Events -- she is literally indescribable. To sum it up, thought, the best I can: I had so many friends and relatives approach me and tell me I seemed genuinely calm and happy the weeks leading up to and on our wedding day. Now I know that's because I married my favorite human, but it's in large part because of Abbey. She is a calming force and made our lives so easy during wedding planning. She handles everything with grace and poise; she has an amazing eye for details and design; and she was there when we needed her, even when you didn't know you needed her (like getting you...

    To me, the mark of a good day-of coordinator is that you aren't really sure of what they did, exactly. And yet...your event runs smoothly and on time. And that kind of thing never "just happens"at an event without a ton of work involved.
    During the wedding planning process, Abbey was always responsive, positive, and honest with her feedback. When I needed her to do some extra work for me with vendor research, she delivered thorough results which helped me make an informed decision. She was always calm, cool, and level-headed with my slightly neurotic questions, which I always appreciated! I also never sensed a hint of judgement for my decisions to not do x or y.

    Abbey was such a JOY to work with! It was one of the first and the best wedding planning decisions we made to hire her for a year-long full planning and design service. I was an out-of-state bride so it was great to have Abbey helping us pick local Denver vendors, offering to attend meetings if we couldn’t be there in person, and providing monthly To-Dos. It made planning so much less stressful and it was a huge time saver having her! We loved that she kept our budget and priorities in mind with her vendor suggestions, and she was always willing to look for another option if it wasn’t something we loved. Plus, by the time it was...

    Abbey is amazing to work with! We had her as our day of coordinator/help with design. She was very patient with my many questions about design ideas...even when my vision changed...and really helped me to nail down what I wanted. She definitely helped validate my design choices during planning, and helped me stay on track with all the details that go into planning/vendors etc. Abbey is organized, helpful, patient, relaxed, and just a NICE person! She and her team made our wedding day a breeze. She was on top of everything on wedding day and made sure our reception looked/felt like a dream. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Abbey! Thank you so much for everything--the day was perfect!

    Abbey is the Best

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

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

    Could not recommend PSE enough!

    Abbey was the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for! Abbey was our month of coordinator and the second I met her at our walk through I knew we were in amazing hands. She has incredible attention to detail, organization skills, and the most calming presence. She took all the stress away from us and our families so we were just able to enjoy the wedding day. At one point, while getting ready, I mentioned that I wanted a diet coke and 20 minutes later a diet coke appeared in my hands. She made the months leading up to the wedding as stress free as possible and seamlessly took over all vender contracts and communication.

    The best day, thanks to Abbey!

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

    Abbey helped make our dream wedding a reality!

    Abbey is simply the best. She took great care of us from day one. Not only did she have the creative vision to help us make our dream wedding a reality, she was also exceedingly professional and well-organized. Abbey pointed us in the right direction for all of our vendors--from our wedding photographer all the way to where to get my dress altered. She knew exactly when we needed to tackle each item on our to-do list, and she helped us manage all of the many bits and pieces that go into planning a wedding.

    Throughout it all, even when we threw a few wrenches in, Abbey handled it all with absolute composure. She made me feel confident that our day would go off without a hitch, and it did! We can't thank her enough!

    Wedding Planner Extrordinaire!

    I can not say enough wonderful things about Abbey Hoefling! I am not exactly the calmest person in the world...and that is why I was initially drawn to Abbey. With her calm and professional demeanor, she walked me through every step of the wedding planning process and kept me grounded! She recommended the most amazing band and florist, and her attention to detail was beyond impressive. Abbey was always available to brainstorm and she kept us on task with a monthly to-do list. You can not go wrong if you hire Purple Summer Events!

    Beautiful design help and very easy going

    Abbey was super easy to work with and did a great job helping translate my wedding "vision", even though I didnt know how to describe my vision exactly. She did an amazing job with design and making our wedding feel so special. She did a great job of coordination every visual aspect of the day. Abbey was very easy to talk to and easy to get a hold of for any questions. She was calm and chill throughout the process, which in turn made me feel relaxed and able to enjoy my wedding day! Definitely a lot more relaxed than other wedding planners Ive experienced at my friends weddings.

    Abbey is the very best!!!

    I am SO incredibly lucky to have found Abbey at Purple Summer Events. She was amazing to work with every step of the way. She took the time to understand my vision (and was amazing at guiding me when I had no vision!), was always quick to respond, and was several steps ahead of me throughout the entire process. She was also so fun to work with, and so incredibly patient and accommodating when I would change my mind or switch things up (inevitable during a long engagement!). The design was everything I could have hoped for and more, and that is all thanks to Abbey! On top of that, she ensured that my wedding day went off without...
