I really don't know where to start. Lauren, Molly, Chelsea and the rest of their crew were such a pleasure to have plan and work our event. 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. Do yourself a favor and utilize Hourglass. read more

Lauren and her team were amazing to work with! We originally hired her for a wedding in 2020. Due to COVID, we had to push it out until 2021. 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! read more

Molly and Alex were on my wedding case and I adored them. Lauren still stopped by my wedding even though she wasn't technically as involved in the day just to make sure everything was still great! All three of them rock. Timely, sweet, helpful and obviously amazing when it came to the day of coordination. I was about a million times less stressed on my big day because of these awesome people. Can't thank you enough!!!!! Our day was great in large part because of them! If you're thinking about contacting them-DO IT! They are the BEST!!!! You won't regret it. read more

Hourglass Productions - Molly and Alex worked so hard to hang these at our wedding venue. They looked EXACTLY as I hoped!!!! - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Lauren and her team are incredible. I hired Lauren in December for my wedding this September and couldn't be happier with her work. I currently live in California and trying to plan a Colorado wedding was definitely a challenge, but with Lauren, it became completely possible! We talked every month on the phone and emailed on a weekly basis. Lauren not only provided many recommendations for vendors such as band, photographers, florals etc. but also listened to our wants and made sure each vendor could deliver exactly what we were looking for. She also worked with our budget and found incredible vendors that were transparent and reasonable priced. Lauren handled all communications and created a to-do list for me follow every month. Additionally, Lauren helped keep me organized throughout the entire process and provided many resources to make it as easy as possible. If I did not know the answer, Lauren did! The day of the wedding, Lauren was the main point of contact for all our vendors and made the day very relaxing for me! Lauren had provided a timeline weeks before the wedding for my family and for myself so we knew exactly what was going on. Everything went flawlessly and we stayed on track with exactly what my husband and I imaged for the day. Lauren also checked-in with us the perfect amount throughout the night to see how we were doing, give us guidance on upcoming "events" such as cake cutting, order of dances, toasts, etc., and she met with family members at the wedding to make sure special items (memory photos, guest book, extra cake for us :) etc. ) were taken at the end of the night. Lauren made our perfect wedding possible. I would highly highly recommend Hourglass to anyone looking for wedding planning, event planning, or using their company in any capacity. I hope to work with her and her team again in the future!! read more

Let me just start with saying that they are very reasonably priced compared to all the other wedding planners we got quotes from. Because of this- book them QUICK before your weekend is filled! There are several plan options to choose from depending on your budget and needs. Lauren was my main planner and she is personable, hilarious, organized, and returns all emails/phone calls promptly. She had great recommendations on vendors within my budget and gave me an organized to-do list by month. Contacting my wedding venue was challenging at times and Lauren helped apply pressure on them to actually answer my questions. The day-of my wedding Lauren had a team of TWO other assistants- and it was amazing! I had a large wedding but I wasn't stressed the week-of because I trusted the Hourglass team so much to smooth out any last minute glitches (and there were a few). This team allowed me to spend more time with all my loved ones in the days leading up to the wedding because they ran some last minute errands and confirmed arrival times with all the vendors. read more

We met the wonderful peeps of Hourglass at Lovesick Expo and immediately knew we wanted them to coordinate our wedding this past August. Lauren and Molly are such fun, badass chicks who know how to get ish done. They made the whole process stress-free and I honestly want them to be my friends forever. We were also connected to an awesome crew of vendors through Hourglass and ended up hiring our DJ, photographer, makeup/hair artist, florist, and dessert caterer all from their recommendation. If you are on the fence on whether or not day of coordination is worth the expense, get off that fence and lock down Hourglass! This was honestly the best decision we made because on our wedding day we could focus on each other, our friends and our family and not worry about where people/things should be and when. We got so many compliments on how Hourglass was so on top of everything. Lauren and Molly, thank you SO much for curating such a perfect day. We can't stop gushing about all of the special moments we had and all of those memories would not have been possible if we were sweating on the details. Thanks for giving us the capacity to truly soak up and enjoy our wedding. read more

I can't say enough good things about my husband and my experience with Hourglass productions. We initially started with a different planner who was overpriced (about four times the cost of Hourglass), didn't seem interested in our wedding, and even forgot our catering appointment. Lauren and Molly were a breath of fresh air. They were excited about each detail of our dream wedding. It was so nice to feel like our planners were truly invested in giving us the ceremony and reception of our dreams. You can also tell that Lauren and Molly have great relationships with many amazing vendors in town. They suggested Peteybird when we showed and interest in ice cream sandwiches and they were willing to make us a custom flavor because we were clients of Hourglass. Our amazing photo booth vendor (Chipper booth) was suggested by them and were perfect for our style. They also found our florist (Ladybird Poppy) who knocked it out of the park within our budget, our light and sound/DJ guy (Dan) who made the whole place light up like magic and kept the dance floor full the entire freaking night, a much less expensive rental company than the others, our awesome cake vendor who made us a cake that looked like a pineapple, and the wonderful Kinsley who made our beautiful signs and escort cards. Everything about the wedding day went off without a hitch. Lauren, Molly, and another assistant orchestrated the production like masters. We had a hefty task for them: the ceremony and reception were held in the same room of Redline Gallery and had to be fully turned over in a little over an hour. It was so much fun to see the transformation. When it comes to hiring a wedding planner you want a team of experts with local connections, a passion for what they do, a willingness to take risks and who truly want to give you and your partner the wedding of YOUR dreams. We found this with Hourglass. read more

Lauren and Molly of Hourglass Productions Weddings and Events...they're reliable, helpful, organized and more! They were wonderful to work with. My wife and I used them as our day-of coordinators for our local wedding in Denver. They met with us multiple times to organize details leading up to the event, and attended our rehearsal the day before the wedding to ensure they knew exactly how we wanted things to go. We had our ceremony and reception at two different locations in town, and they ensured smooth transitions, organization of vendors, and they set up decor at each location (this included bikes.... it was no small task!) They were fun to work with, dedicated and professional... would definitely recommend their services. read more

The Hourglass team was incredible through the entire process. We were immediately overwhelmed by all of the logistics of planning our reception. Instantly after hiring Hourglass, all of these worries became a much more enjoyable process. From the vendors they recommended to their coordination the day of, we were very impressed by how well everything was taken care of. The reception went exactly as we had hoped and there was no way we could've pulled it off without Lauren and her team. Thank you Hourglass for making our special day even more special! read more

Wow. We're a bit speechless, other than to say HIRE THEM!!!... but we'll try to put it into words :) Lauren and her entire team are absolutely fantastic. We hired them for our day/month-of coordinators for our wedding in Lyons. They communicated with us throughout the entire year, and always welcomed random questions that popped up, even when it was before the "month-of" timeframe. They were always so easy to get ahold of. They created a space for positive relaxation throughout the entire process! They encouraged us not to give up on ideas, and helped brainstorm ways we could do everything we wanted on a budget. When it was supposed to rain all day, they lent us tons of umbrellas and borrowed a pop-up tent and totally changed plans with us for where things would be held throughout the day. It was incredible. Our day-of coordinators were Alex & Synneva, and they were the absolute best -- so on top of everything (and fun to be with, to boot!). All of our guests who interacted with them were so impressed by their professionalism and kindness. We definitely picked the right people to help us pull off a crazy day full of lots of ideas :) We're indebted to Hourglass. We truly feel like we couldn't have done it without them. read more

Where to even begin with how incredible and organized Lauren is! Her and her team truly listen to your vision for your wedding and where you need assistance, and then exceed every single expectation. In the wedding industry, you can run into vendors who treats you as "just another wedding" but not Hourglass. It's like you become family and they truly want you to have the best experience leading up to your wedding and on your Big Day. There were small things that popped up the week before our wedding and Lauren took care of all the things that we needed. It was even raining during the first part of our outdoor ceremony and we had zero stress because Lauren and her team took care of our guests and our wedding party and worked hand-in-hand with our other vendors. I could go on and on about how amazing Hourglass is but seriously look no further than this crew! read more

I cannot thank Lauren and the Hourglass team enough for the hard work they put into making my wedding FLAWLESS! Even though I just used them for day-of coordination, Lauren was always happy & willing to help recommend/ introduce vendors and answer all of my random wedding planning questions that came up along the way. I had a few issues with other vendors during planning and both times Lauren quickly swooped in and saved the day! First, my photographer backed out 6 months before and within hours Lauren had a list of amazing, budget friendly photographers for me. Then, the day before our wedding our shuttle company backed out (nightmare!) and Lauren miraculously came up with a replacement overnight so that our guests never even knew there was a problem! The day of, Lauren and her team executed my vision flawlessly - handling all of my fragile DIY projects with care and setting everything up even more beautifully than I had envisioned! Basically, Hourglass is a god-send! If you're wondering if paying for day-of coordination is worth it, I can say without hesitation that as long as you're going with Hourglass, you will not be disappointed! Worth every penny and much much more! read more

Lauren is the best wedding planner ever!!! We were getting married in Colorado and live in California and she made the stress and distance so much easier to deal with. She was incredible with helping us find vendors in the area and getting in contact and booking them even with short notice. She was super organized, responsive, energetic, and always went above and beyond to make sure we saved money and had the most amazing wedding. We couldn't have done it without her and all our vendors and our venue coordinator said she was the best. Thank you thank you Lauren!!!! read more

Where do I begin! Lauren, Molly and Shelly are INCREDIBLE!!! They took care of everything! They were in touch and answered every phone call and text I sent. From makeup to hair, to dealing with snow and finding last minute shawls and following-up with all of my vendors, they took care of everything. The night of, they were professional, flexible with decorating the space incredibly, helped coordinate all of my wedding party and were great with crazy guests.... I would recommend them HIGHLY TO ANYONE FOR ANY EVENT. We met a few times before and they asked great questions and brought up things I had not yet thought of. read more

The coveted traits of a planner are someone who is creative, yet organized and easy to talk to. This is not a common combination since type-a personalities aren't always the "creative" ones, but Lauren and the rest of the Hourglass crew do it with seeming ease. Highly recommend! read more

So if you're looking for someone that can wrangle unruly vendors and guests together and create a seamless polished event Lauren is your gal! Plus she's real, not a b.s. Martha Stewert weddings rainbows and unicorns wacko....ditch your Pinterest page and work with a pro! read more

Working with Hourglass Productions Denver was such a treat! I worked with Lauren and Molly at a beautiful Breckinridge wedding recently and loved every second of it. Lauren and Molly do a great job at staying on time while having a great attitude and being kind to all that they interact with. Hourglass Productions knows of the best vendors to hire for weddings that match the aesthetic of their bride and grooms weddings. I simply can't wait to work with this wonderful company again. I would highly recommend them for your wedding day! read more

Hourglass does an incredible job at bringing creative ideas to event planning along with outstanding execution! Trust Lauren to identify what's important in your event and then make sure that it gets handled so you're free to have a good time at your event without all the stress of trying to handle all the STUFF! Somebody else made a very true comment on a review here: Lauren keeps it real and is easy to work with, she will reflect what you'd like at your event and will build on the ideas that you bring. Hourglass handled an important party for me on short notice and it was fantastic, everyone loved it and no details were missed in spite of relatively short timelines for planning. So I highly recommend Hourglass, they make it easy and fun to host an event! read more

Lauren and her team of ladies in pink were such a huge asset on our wedding day. If you think that you want to handle day of logistics I would strongly encourage you to think again! We would never have been able to make sure all of the little things were running smoothly on our big day without Lauren and her team. They are all super easygoing, supportive, and detail-oriented leading up to the day of the event. They offer an incredibly valuable service that is affordable and approachable. If you are someone who is relaxed, open to ideas, and does not want to be a victim to the whole wedding machine I would definitely go with Hourglass. read more

Collaborating with Hourglass is my favorite! We've done numerous productions together and they always get it right. Lauren's team brings together hip events, but is never pretentious. They're great at getting my timelines right and making sure every detail is in place. Plus they're cool chicks! read more

Hiring Hourglass was one of the single best decisions that we made when wedding planning. Here's why: 1. Lauren and Molly are both incredibly organized/ detail oriented in a way that completely reassured us that everything would run seamlessly, and they are SO MUCH FUN to work with. They showed that they truly cared about us as a couple and all of our wedding ideas, and we felt like we made two great friends in the planning process. 2. Not only are Lauren and Molly a true joy to work with themselves, but they also used their extensive knowledge of the wedding industry in Denver to connect us with incredible vendors who were a perfect match for our vision and budget. Because of them, we had such an amazing team of people helping us on wedding day! read more

Lauren and her team put together my sister's engagement party at the last minute and really saved me! She helped me find the perfect venue and decorated it so thoughtfully. She was super responsive and made sure all the details were taken care of. The party was a huge success, I still get compliments and what a great night it was. And we didn't even break the bank:) Highly recommend Hourglass, they are creative, organized and a pleasure to work with. read more

Well all I can say is when you find a guy impressed enough to write a review about an event planner... well... enough said. Couldn't have asked for better service and better results! read more

I am so glad that I hired Hourglass Productions for my wedding this past September. First of all meetings were SO much fun (wine and cupcakes). We planned our entire wedding in 3 short months and Lauren made the process so much less stressful, and fun! Initially when we started planning our wedding we weren't going to hire a day-of coordinator but this was easily the best decision of the wedding. Recommend!! read more

Lauren and crew are funny, great to work with, and leave no stone unturned in planning for and executing on the big day (or any day, for that matter). I love the attention to detail, cupcake expertise, and an impressive can-do attitude by some laid-back but on-point professionals. Five stars. read more

Lauren and Tara helped our wedding day be absolutely perfect. From the vendors they reccomended, to their decorating of our reception space, to helping keep everyone organized and best of all, they went above and beyond, by picking up our flowers the morning of our wedding in order to help us stay within our floral budget. Hourglass Productions came highly reccomended from dear friends and I will do the same for others who need amazing wedding or event planners! read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Lauren on planning more than one event, and I have to say she always brings such an air of "can-do" to any situation that I know the event is always in good hands. Above all, Lauren is DOer, she is driven and will wrangle your vendors, make sure everything is executed without a hitch and will go above an beyond for your event. To top it off, Lauren is a ton of fun. She mixes professionalism with always having a good time, I appreciate how she is quick with a joke or a quip, it definitely eases the stress that comes with planning an event. I'm so glad that I've been able to work with Lauren, Molly and their extensive list of vendors that they know and trust. read more

I've had the opportunity to work with Hourglass Productions several times and oh boy....they are not only super fun, down to earth but extremely talented, creative, organize and so on top of things! I'm always amazed by the beautiful weddings/events the orchestrate! If you are looking for a real fun and creative planner, hourglass productions is for you! I love working with them! read more

We were absolutely pleased to have worked with Hourglass. They were there for us right from the start-from the initial search of vendors and venues, correspondence with potential vendors and final decisions. Molly and Lauren consistently handled everything we asked of them with no hesitation. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them. read more

Lauren and Molly put together an amazing anniversary party for my parents and we are so happy that we chose Hourglass! My mother is not easy to deal with and they handled her and everyone else so wonderfully. They thought of every detail and I barely had to be involved. The planning was done long distance so trusting them was a must and they did not let me or my parents down. The day of the party was a blast and I will definitely be using them again if I am ever planning an event in Colorado. read more

First of all, they like to wear pink, so I knew they would be an awesome team from the start :) Secondly, Lauren is so friendly and willing to help! As a Boulder wedding photographer, she has gone above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and is always up for a coffee or drinks get together. At a wedding we worked together in Boulder Lauren, and her team were true hustlers from start to finish--going above and beyond to troubleshoot last minute problems as they needed to be taken care of. I'd highly recommend reach out to Lauren and seeing if they are a good fit! read more

Simply perfection - Lauren and Molly are professional, efficient, organized, laid back and accessible - these are incredibly important characteristics when planning and executing a wedding. The event was flawless with no issues whatsoever. We were able to engage ourselves in the moment without being concerned about any of the dynamics of the wedding - that is the essence of an incredible wedding planner. read more

HIRE HOURGLASS PRODUCTIONS!!!! I want to scream it from the rooftops and write it in the sky. I cannot, at all, in any way, overstate how in love with these planners I am. We ended up in a situation where we had to find new day of coordinators six weeks out from our Labor Day, 2017, wedding. Hourglass stepped in, took a big pay cut to match the previous offer we had had, and knocked it out of the park. We had a large wedding (187), large wedding parties (6 each bridesmaids and groomsmen plus escorts and readers), and a complicated ceremony and reception involving many readings, friends singing, favors and guests books that had to be wrangled, and of course the hora. It was a lot, and they took it ALL in stride. They dove right in and took care of every single detail. We had some hiccups with our venue leading up to the big day, and we turned to them to mediate and they took care of all of it. It was amazing. Without question, our wedding would not have come together without them. Lauren, Molly, and Alex: we love you. So much. Even if this review gets you 100 new clients, it still won't be enough. read more

We met Lauren and Molly at a bridal show, and went back and forth about getting a day of coordinator - I don't know in GENERAL, but I can say for sure bringing these two in to help was the right decision. People have been asking me what little crises we had at our wedding, and I've been honestly able to answer that I have no idea - anything that happened never made it anywhere near me or my husband, and we have Hourglass to thank for that. We were able to relax and party all day long, and it was all thanks to them. That's not even mentioning all the vendor recommendations they provided and little details they asked about we probably wouldn't have considered, plus fun times with drinks and pizza! And about 100 other things I don't even know about, most likely. They're the most fun AND the best decision we made about our wedding. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren at Hourglass Productions on a styled engagement shoot. My fiancé and I were lucky enough to win a contest for a free styled shoot with Lauren and a group of her amazing vendors. I cant say enough about the wonderful experience we had! Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully, but the process itself was fun, organized, creative, and fun (did I mention fun??!!). Lauren and her team were light hearted, easy to work with and hilarious despite the fact we were taking summer themed photos in 40 degree, rainy weather. Brr! I highly recommend Lauren for all of your planning needs. read more

My fiancé and I recently got engaged and decided to hire Hourglass to help make our day have. So far we are beyond impressed with how helpful Lauren and Molly have been. The ideas they have given us have been amazing and how they have reached out to vendors and given us information about timelines, decor, etc. has been great. This is definitely a fun company to work with and we are so happy we made the decision to work with them. read more
