Rhiannon was such a treat to work with! I was a very indecisive and clueless bride, and she guided me through every step in planning my wedding, answered every question I had, and provided me with the best day-of coordination that I could ask for! I also hired her as my DJ, and having her for both coordination and DJ-ing allowed for a seamless wedding day with no hiccups. I am so grateful that I hired Rhiannon for my wedding day. I couldn't recommend Heartbeat Events more! Thank you for everything, Rhiannon! (photo attached is a "thank you card" I sent after my wedding)

I have been planning events for the last 20 years, on the side. I have always loved hosting people, and I've done a few bridal and baby showers. At my previous job, I helped plan several employee luncheons and holiday parties, with about 100-150 employees attending. I even led the planning a few times. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, I became an on-site wedding coordinator for a local venue, with 5 weddings each summer. In 2023, I coordinated 11 weddings, and in 2024, I coordinated and planned 17 weddings. I'm halfway booked up for 2025!

Hello, I'm Olivia! I love to craft authentic, deeply-curated events that truly celebrate you and your partner. That means I live for the funky details: adding wild turkey feathers to your floral arrangements, asking the ring bearer to dress as a hobbit, ditching your heels for some comfy sneakers during the reception, getting hitched at midnight… whatever you can dream of! I like to say, "everyone's been to a wedding... but they haven't been to YOURS!"

If you are currently looking for a wedding planner – STOP EVERYTHING ELSE RIGHT NOW AND BOOK OLIVIA IMMEDIATELY! You will not regret it. Olivia went above and beyond 1000% when helping us plan our wedding. It simply could not have happened so smoothly and perfectly without her. Olivia is extremely kind and attentive and was a huge support throughout the process. We had some ups, downs and twists with things out of our control and Olivia pivoted flawlessly to fix things and put any stress I had to rest. She is a positive force to be reckoned with and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am a very DIY planner type myself but you simply cannot be there managing everything on the actual wedding day. You NEED someone to help and Olivia is that person. She was an excellent sounding board for all of my thoughts and ideas, a layout making queen and she dealt with my vendors seamlessly! The #1 absolute best decision I made when planning my wedding was hiring Olivia. SO SO WORTH IT. Thank you Olivia!!!

I’ve been working in the wedding industry since before I had a driver’s license. My father is a SoCal based wedding videographer of 20 years. Starting as a young teen, he would let me tag along to weddings to help haul equipment. I fell in love with the hustle and I ended up working 15+ weddings as his assistant videographer before I left for college. Professionally, I have been working as a stage manager in events and entertainment for 9 years, mostly in the SLC, Utah area. I always felt the wedding industry calling me back, so about 3 years ago I began applying my events management skills to wedding planning and never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
I honestly never thought I was going to get married and I definitely was not going to have a wedding of note. However, as my partner and I started talking more and more, we scoped out what it would take to have a smooth, aesthetically pleasing and gay as he** wedding in the PNW. We like supporting small businesses and folks just getting started, and we got recommended Finn by a mutual friend. We kept it small and had them coordinate our actual Big Day. As someone who has done a LOT of managing other people's problems, I mean events, having a competent lesbian around who had taken extensive notes on what we wanted and who to talk to and handled every single thing that came up from directing caterers to the too many people who really Just Want to Be Helpful was just fantastic. Finn was incredibly responsive, asked pointed questions that got at potential problems we had not considered, and was incredibly patient with us when we got a little all over the place. They also took the animal bones, cold outdoors, and eccentricities of our privacy preferences in great stride. and they're funny as all get out. 10/10.

Delaney did such an amazing job running the show at my wedding! We had a lot of set-up that she executed for us perfectly, and some quirky timeline/vendor things that she managed really seamlessly. We had rain, which was a little stressful, but she helped keep us calm and deal with the changes in the timeline/plan that occurred as a result. She was right there when we needed her, all night, with a smile on her face. She was the perfect balance of "going with the flow" when things came up but also getting things done in an efficient and organized way. She had an answer or idea for any dilemma that came up, and we definitely utilized a lot of her suggestions. Would 100% recommend her!

Monteleone Wedding Coordinating was a pleasure to work with as a caterer. Their communication style was direct, positive, and collaborative, with a solution-minded approach that put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was exceptional - they were highly detail-oriented, organized, and communicative. Brit, our planner, was a rockstar - she quickly came up with a solution when we realized we didn't have a way to reheat food, and she even jumped in to help bus tables and wash dishes when the bride decided to switch to china plateware at the last minute, adding a significant amount of work to an already full schedule.

The best thing I did for my wedding was hire Jodie and her team! We came from out of state to have our wedding in Oregon, and I truly don’t know how we would have managed without them. Jodie helped keep me sane! From the very beginning I felt like she really understood the vision for our special day and went above and beyond in more ways than one to make it come true. Sometimes it’s the little details that matter, and she thought of all of them. I was thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and ability to manage all the moving parts with such grace and poise. I hired Jodie under her Wedding Management package, so I did most of the planning myself; during my planning I was stressed about how certain things would get executed since our venue was an intimate “DIY” type, but Jodie was so reassuring and when it came down to the weeks leading up to our wedding, I was able to fully relax knowing that she would have everything under control. And on wedding day I was able to turn my brain off and just enjoy being a bride! I am so grateful for Jodie, Hannah, and Autumn for making our special day run so seamlessly and for being so kind and professional. They were such a joy to have around!

Bridal Bliss was professional from beginning to end and thanks to our planner our wedding day went off exactly as my partner and I had dreamed! She was so kind and enthusiastic, was always prompt to reply, and made me feel like she cared about every little detail as much as I did. I truly can’t say enough great things about my experience with Bridal Bliss!

I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all formula for weddings. Your relationship is unique, and your wedding should reflect that! That's why Golden Day Wedding Co offers a completely customizable planning/coordination packages. I want to hear your wedding day vision and work with you to identify specific needs. Maybe you want a vintage popcorn machine or you're looking to include your pets in the ceremony. Or maybe you want to book a live band and DIY your floral decor. Whatever ideas you may have, I want to work with you to make your wedding as amazing as you've imagined!

We met Kacie from Golden Day over a year before our wedding date and booked her after our very first meeting. Choosing a day-of coordinator really comes down to personal preference. We met with some coordinators who were pretty aggressive, and came off as overbearing. That’s not Kacie. Kacie acts as a calm, stress-neutralizing sounding board for your ideas. Anything you share with her is met with, “Yes, that’s a great idea, let’s make it happen.” She doesn’t try to steer your vision; instead, she supports your creativity and helps keep it on track as your ideas evolve. She shows up when you need her and is always willing to take a phone call without hesitation or making you feel like you're on the clock. With Kacie, there were no stupid questions, we could ask her anything, even twice, and we were met with her optimistic attitude and supportive responses. On our wedding day, Kacie maintained her positive, poised demeanor as she set up the entire ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception space with very little help. There were some issues at the start of the ceremony, but Kacie never seemed phased. Not once did she let stress show or allow it to leak into our headspace leading up to, or during the big day. Kacie was also incredible about making sure we actually ate on our wedding day. So many friends told us, “You’ll never eat at your own wedding.” Well, they clearly didn’t hire Kacie. After the ceremony, cocktail-hour appetizers magically appeared while we waited for our grand entrance. As soon as we sat down, she had plates of dinner ready for us. At the end of the night, my wife and I were actually able to head to the after-party with our friends, and that was because of Kacie. She stayed behind and left the venue spotless so we wouldn’t incur any additional charges. In fact, she wrapped everything up so efficiently that our catering team was able to leave early, and we were credited back an hour of service. Our day truly was golden, if we could choose one word to describe it, as corny as that sounds. And it wouldn’t have happened without Kacie.
