They were communicative, supportive, kind and capable. We were definitely one of those painful events as we were scheduled in 2020 and had to reschedule and replan multiple times due to Covid-19 challenges, and Lauren never dropped the ball. She made my life easier in planning our wedding reception and felt more like a friend than a vendor. We could not speak more highly of them or the event they coordinated for us. We had the best time.

During the time in between, she continued to check in to see what we needed and how she could help. Flash forward to the event: She and her team were exceptional at managing and organizing all vendors, timelines, and set-up, and break-down. She made everything so easy, and most importantly - she kept us calm and unaware of everything chaotic that was happening behind the scenes. We would be THRILLED to work with Lauren's team again, and highly recommend Hourglass!

If you are looking for a day of wedding coordinator it will be 110% worth it! Thank you for everything!!

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

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!

It can be extremely overwhelming organizing everything as a bride and things can feel so "high stakes." Natalie eased our worries and after some communication via excel worksheets and calendars, everything was ready for the big day. Natalie was flexible, fun, relaxed, and overall the perfect addition to our wedding party! She got along well with everyone and even made sure my grandparents got down the aisle! What an angel. I was originally hesitant to hire a coordinator because I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but after it was all said and done I wouldn't have it any other way. She made the big day so easy for me and my husband. If you're on the fence about getting a day of coordinator, get Natalie!

She didn't just feel like a wedding planner -- she felt like a close friend from the start. Claire took the time to genuinely get to know both my husband and I, listening carefully to what mattered most to us and making sure every detail of our day felt personal, intentional, and uniquely us. Throughout the planning process, Claire was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. Her eye for detail and ability to turn ideas into something beautiful and cohesive was amazing. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. She handled every detail behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy each moment without stress or worry. Four years later, we still look back on our wedding with so much gratitude, and Claire is a huge reason why. If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, I cannot recommend Claire enough.

We were so lucky to work with Nicole on our wedding! We were planning a Colorado wedding from…read moreGermany, and only had a couple of chances to meet any of our wedding vendors in person, so we were going to be totally depended on our wedding planner to taker care of a lot of things we wouldn't be there to see ourselves. From the first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Nicole has incredible creativity, a beautiful way of designing for the uniqueness of her couples, great experience, a terrific local network, and is very direct about what to expect throughout the process. She was able to spot that we had been off with our initial estimate on overall costs, then broke everything down with tons of direct talk about where expenses would be generated, where we could save, and where we wouldn't want to save. In the end, her initial estimate was almost exactly what we ended up paying. Once we started working with her, she was brilliant about making a balance between taking the initiative and asking us for guidance. We always had trust in who she connected us with (she works with a network of total pros), and she made the entire process completely transparent, so we could keep an eye on what we needed to do, but also see what we didn't need to worry about. This was the only way that working together from a distance, and only meeting a couple of times in person was possible. Our wedding was on a family member's property, and Nicole was very skilled at pushing through our agreed vision for the wedding, but without ever stepping on any toes - she's a skilled diplomat. Regarding the wedding design, we we bringing together several cultures in the wedding - Hawaiian, Russian, German, and Coloradan. She was able to blend all of these into a seamless whole that totally reflected our identities in ways tasteful, fun, and surprising. All of our guests and families felt this terrific combination of style and identity that Nicole was able to orchestrate. On the day, she was absolutely a dream to work with. Attentive and in control, but without being overbearing, she was on top of every transition and important moment, but never taking the limelight. She's a true professional's professional. Overall, we were so lucky to work with Nicole, and I can highly recommend her to anyone who wants their wedding to be a true representation of who they are as a couple, and at the same time a totally professional production that they can simply celebrate with the people they love without worries. Simply put, Nicole was everything we never even knew that we wanted or needed in a wedding planner.

I deal with a lot of vendors and I knew my same-day request (on a Saturday no less) would probably be met with cranky "not possible in the timeline" responses. Instead, I met Jolene on the other end of the phone. What a warm and positive person! She immediately took on my problems with grace and alacrity. She not only solved the heaters and blanket asks but also added so many details that I would never have thought of. Baskets to hold the blankets. Blankets tied with twine. Additional black napkins in case someone was wearing a dark outfit. Found local wines and beers. Just extremely thoughtful in everything she did. My event was not big or expensive. I'm from out of town so I'm probably not a repeat client (wish I could be!). And I had a very last minute weekend request. And Jolene pulled through 110%. I would trust her to plan just about anything. You'll be in the best hands.

I attended a college friend's wedding in Denver and it was absolutely perfect down to every last detail.

They even used the front yard space and driveway to make a beautiful sit down area with low benches and pillows with lace wrapping around the yard to make for an intimate and private event.

Ann ensured that the execution of the order was 100% accurate, and that the order delivered was on-time, and of high-quality. The ordering process was seamless, and the product came out exactly as we envisioned. We are extremely pleased with the value that working with Cloud9 yielded - the pricing was very competitive, and the service was exceptional. Ann promptly addressed any questions and/or concerns, and was very easy to work with. Also, Cloud 9 arranged for creation of a custom graphic that became the "logo/brand" for our wedding day!! We hired Ann again for rights to the custom graphic, and used the art work on mostly all of our wedding signage including our escort cards, seating chart, welcome sign, and guest book which created a balanced and cohesive design. Also, I should note that my husband and I wanted to send the invitations out a few weeks earlier than the typical wedding invitation time frame so that our out of town guests had adequate time to make travel arrangements. To ensure our requested delivery date, Ann arranged to have the invitations hand delivered to our home!! As a result, the invitations were mailed out exactly when we wanted them to be!! THANK YOU ANN!! Ann is very helpful, and very on top of things!! I confidentially recommend Ann of Cloud9 Weddings & Papers for all of your wedding stationary needs!!!
