Mark Sent on 09/12/2019Best Wedding Ever!
We were married this August at the Adamson House in Malibu and Holly did an amazing job at our wedding. She was organized, efficient and knowledgeable. She was the best investment we made with the wedding and couldn't have done it without her. We planned our wedding from out of town and she always made us feel at ease after talking with her. The rehearsal and day of the wedding went smoothly and we had a perfect day thanks to Holly. From our first phone chat with her we knew we were in the right hands. Holly went out of her way on more than one occasion to help us and certainly beyond the call of duty. If you're considering a wedding planner at all, for any aspect of planning or the day of, then look no further. I wish we could relive it over again! Highly recommended! Thanks Holly - Mark and Tara -

Haley Sent on 10/25/2018Holly is a daymaker and a hero.
I should have written this review a long time ago, as we're coming up on our first anniversary, but actually my opinion of Holly has only grown in the year since our wedding. I never planned to have a coordinator/planner - I was always excited for the planning and the binders and doing it myself, and saving the money seemed like a perk. Another one of our vendors encouraged me to contact Holly anyway, and I am SO glad I did. It was the single smartest thing we did for the entire event, and is now a legend among our families.
From the first conversation, Holly was very real and transparent with us. She was factual and honest, but never pushed us to do anything any differently than we wanted. She was very respectful of our ideas, offering suggestions and potential complications we hadn't considered, but also enthusiastically supporting the things that mattered to us. She was organized while being human and relatable, a combination that's crucial for anyone associated with the wedding.
I was not stressed at my wedding. I know not everyone can say that, but honestly, so many guests commented on how calm and happy I seemed that day (and I am NOT a "calm" person), and it was because I knew Holly had it. From the moment we handed off all our decor to her the day before after the rehearsal that she ran like a well oiled machine (even though our dog was the ring bearer), we just got to enjoy ourselves. Everything was handled at every turn - everything was in its place, she handled the details I hadn't even thought of, the decor was set up perfectly, no one was late or missing - she even made sure there was no drama, which is above and beyond her job. The venue cut our cake early, and I don't know what magic Holly worked but there was a cake cutting and it was a great story instead of a total disaster. She also didn't do any of this in a bossy or intrusive way - if you weren't our family or wedding party, you wouldn't even have known she was there.
There have been several weddings in our family since ours, and at literally every one people have commented on how great Holly was at ours, and how smoothly everything went. She absolutely MADE our wedding, and I am eternally grateful. -

Shaun Sent on 11/28/2018Put your mind at ease. Your special day is in the best hands.
Not every wedding needs a full-on planner, but every wedding should consider hiring a day of coordinator. And if you are looking for someone to entrust your special day to, Paper Heart Events is the group you should work with. We worked with Holly for most of the process; scheduling, planning, making sure we have everything we will need for the wedding day. And you don’t realize how much goes into a wedding, until someone like Holly hands you a checklist of all the things you should think about. She was prepared for everything and helped guide us to make some very smart decisions regarding the details of the wedding. A few weeks before the big day, Holly let us know that she would be at another event, so she would have her assistant Chloe handle our wedding. We were a little hesitant at first because we hadn’t worked with her at all up until this point and wasn’t sure how ready she would be to take on our event. Any hesitation we might have had was put at ease immediately the day of the wedding. Chloe was on point with every detail. Every minute of that wedding she was ready for. We didn’t have to lift a finger for anything. If something needed to be done, Chloe was on it. She even mailed out our wedding license for us while we whisked ourselves away on our honeymoon. You always tend to hear about some of the things that go wrong at weddings, but our wedding, was perfect. And we believe a lot of that is due to the love and care Holly and Chloe took with one of the best days of my life. Marrying my best friend couldn’t have been more perfect with anyone else running things behind the scenes.

Ashlee Sent on 12/27/2017From the beginning, my Mom and I wanted to do majority of the wedding planning and design. As a result, we wanted a coordinator who was not only organized, but could understand and execute our vision. From the moment we concluded our phone consultation, I knew Holly was the one for us. She was concise, organized, and kind. We selected the Wedding Management (aka Day-Of) service which included: phone/email communication, three in-person meetings, rehearsal coordination, family/wedding party schedule, custom wedding timeline, setup/teardown etc.. I brought both my parents to the first meeting and she made us each feel heard and included. When it came to vendors, I researched and booked each of them. Mom and I gathered all decorations and cataloged our desired setup of each table along with the ceremony/reception floor plan. Holly guided us along the planning process with questionnaires, checklists, and deadlines. Those questionnaires brought so many details and ideas to mind I hadn’t thought of - so helpful.
Wedding Day was my prayer and dream come true. Holly made every detail we had envisioned flow with ease and she commanded a wonderful, organized presence. No vendor, family, or wedding party member was out-of-the-loop because Holly was there with answers and a schedule for everyone. Two words: Hire Holly! -

Tina Sent on 01/06/2018Holly was a PHENOMENAL partner in creating an amazing wedding for us! We worked with her on a fusion wedding for which she helped us bring our vision to life. From the beginning, we really respected Holly's direct and honest approach - she made us feel at ease that she said what she meant and didn't try to sugarcoat. Holly had terrific vendor recommendations across a wide range of price points, and even helped us find and negotiate a strong rate for our dream venue! Her eye for detail was especially useful during meticulous review of contracts. When things didn't go as planned, we were so comforted by Holly's help in troubleshooting all issues. Even when our venue sprung last minute surprise rules on us, Holly kept her cool and helped us come to an agreement on solutions which appeased both parties.
Holly is especially meticulous and organized - as a couple who loves Excel spreadsheets and organization, we loved working with someone who always had the details and logistics under control. On the wedding day, she kept everything running on time and kept us calm even when issues arose. Not an easy feat for a multicultural wedding of 300 with demanding families! We were able to let go and enjoy the wedding and even after-wedding questions and issues because Holly had our back and shielded us from stress. On top of all that, she's just a joy to work with - so funny and caring! We miss having a reason to hang out with her now that the wedding is over! We're so grateful to Holly for her talent, friendship, and leadership and hope to have a reason to work with her in the future! -

Alexander Sent on 05/29/2016Holly Orr (Paper Heart Events owner) is amazing! My wife and I got married at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu this past spring. We found that Holly was easily one of the best investments we made for the wedding. This is coming from two people who initially weren't convinced we even wanted a coordinator. We had to get one because it was mandated by our venue. Luckily, we found Holly and have no idea what we would have done without her.
She is supremely organized and knowledgeable both about weddings in general, and with respect to details on mine and my wife's wedding. We don't consider ourselves to be high-maintenance, but our event did require a lot of attention to detail due to a number of moving pieces, such as several large scale DIY projects. Holly took detailed notes, and our wedding went off without a hitch! She was also incredible resource in finding fantastic vendors (Photographer, Officiant, etc) and even saved us a little money by helping us negotiate venue fees.
She went above and beyond, going out of her way to pick up items from us to store before the wedding. She even provided a couple of her own items to help with decor we didn't think to get.
Perhaps one of the most important ways she (and her wonderful assistants) helped us, was in making sure we were present and got to experience our own wedding. We've heard from so many other couples that they didn't get to experience their entire wedding b/c they got distracted or forgot certain things, etc. Holly made sure we got fully fed, got photos with everyone at our reception and ceremony, time on the dancefloor, and time alone to reflect on our night. In addition, we had a tight schedule and Holly did a great job of making sure we remained on time for everything, despite the wedding craziness.
Lastly, we found Holly to be a very warm, friendly, and professional person. We value her hard work and enthusiasm and VERY highly recommend her to any and every bride and groom in need.

Nancy Sent on 03/21/2015I was looking for a day of wedding coordinator when I was introduced to Holly. I only had a few weeks before the our big day and I literally dumped all of my planning, notes, ideas and vendors lists into her lap and said take over and she did. Everything I needed was taken care of and she went above and beyond to make sure that is was. In fact we were texting at midnight before the wedding when I had a question and I thought no way would she answer and to my surprise and relief she did. I really do not know how brides do it without help and I am so thankful to have had Holly's help. She was always responsive, knowledgeable and had a handle on things. We had a pretty big wedding party and she just kept everyone in line and organized. I think one of the biggest things that I was so impressed with was how she just took over for me, contacting the vendors, working with the venue, setting up the wedding etc as if she had been helping me plan it all along. You cannot go wrong if you book her services!!!! Thank you Holly!
