Calluna Events

We had a fantastic experience working with Calluna and would definitely recommend! We worked with Lindsay as our planner who was incredible and could not have been more knowledgeable, detail oriented, and fun to work with. Our wedding weekend went perfectly with Lindsay’s detailed timeline and direction, and we also loved all our vendors which she had recommended. Lindsay and Calluna really made our wedding vision come to life and we’d 100% recommend.

Couldn't have done it without you! I can't imagine my daughter's wedding being the amazing event it was without Heather helping us along the way. Her expertise is second to none, and I knew we were in great hands with someone who has impeccable attention to details, knows everything you could possibly need to plan a wedding. But, even more important for this MOB, was how she keep us on track throughout the planning process and ran everything for us the wedding weekend with her calm demeanor which helped keep the bride and me calm and relaxed.

It doesn't get any better than Calluna! We used them for our wedding 10 years ago and just used them again for my wife's big birthday party. Everything went incredibly smoothly and each of their vendor choices was top notch. Thank you, Heather and team!

Calluna executed our vision to perfection at our very remote private venue. Generators, bathroom trailers, the works were needed to make 150 guests comfortable, and Heather and her team nailed it all- and they made it look easy. I’m so grateful and in awe of the weekend we experienced all these months later.

We would absolutely recommend Calluna Events to anyone looking for an organized, detail-oriented, creative, and experienced wedding planner! Lindsay was our lead planner and we could not have asked for a better experience! She was very responsive, organized, and truly understood our vision. It was amazing that Lindsay had worked with so many vendors in the industry before, so she was able to steer us toward vendors who would fit our vision for our wedding day! She paid great attention to detail and offered honest opinions when we had questions about price/value of certain items. With busy work lives, we needed someone to handle a majority of the details for our wedding, and Lindsay absolutely met that need! She handled everything from vendor discussions, to tracking payments, to checklists of all the various wedding weekend details, to creating a minute-by-minute wedding day timeline, and so much more. Even when Lindsay was unable to make it to our wedding day due to an unforeseen personal conflict, she was sure everything was in order before our big day, and had Gabby step in to help. Gabby was just as organized throughout our entire wedding weekend and remained so calm and collected to keep everything moving. We cannot recommend Calluna enough!! Thank you!!

We could NOT have planned our wedding without Lindsey and Calluna. I knew from our first conversation that she was the perfect fit to help us plan our big day. Even though we weren’t sure we wanted to use a planner, Lindsey made us feel special and her expertise made it very clear we needed her help. Best decision we made in the planning process!! Not often in my life do I feel like I can release control of something as important as planning a wedding but with Lindsey I did. We could have talked once and we would have converged on more or less the same wedding she was that good at seeing exactly what I wanted. My fiancé is in the military and was gone for most of the planning process, so having Lindsey to bounce ideas off of was invaluable. She knew exactly when to jump in with an opinion on a vendor call and her opinions were always spot on. There were a couple of sticky situations with vendors and Lindsey handled them (and me) with so much grace. On the day of, no family or guest had to worry about a single thing. Hiccups came and went with no drama because Lindsey and her team were there. Yes she makes sure napkins match the plates, but the emotional support Lindsey provided me, and my family through the process is invaluable. There’s no question who we’ll be coming to for my two sisters when their time comes. They deserve every glowing review here.

Our wedding was in a very challenging and remote location that demanded a high degree of vendor coordination, material sourcing, and boots-on-the-ground visits. Heather and her team rose to these challenges and we walked away from the weekend impressed by their skillset and were not aware of any behind-the-scenes mishaps. Furthermore, Heather and her team were very calm and professional throughout the planning process and more importantly during the wedding festivities. We felt very well taken care of and confident that they could gracefully handle any potential issues. We would certainly recommend Calluna and really enjoyed working with Heather and her team.

Calluna Events did and impeccable job from start to finish with helping plan my wedding. Kristen Kennedy was my wedding planner and I cannot say enough amazing things about her. My wedding was technically a destination wedding and neither of us lived in the area full time. This could have posed as a challenge but Kristen is so well versed in her craft she made everything seamless. Sometimes I have issues being decisive and Kristen would really use her expertise to help make it easy. When it came to the smaller details and processes of things- I was pretty lost at first. Kristen took charge and really explained everything so well. I am not good with design and she really took the lead there and knew exactly how to lay things out and it all looked gorgeous come wedding time. I always felt comfortable calling her or texting her and she made me feel so much less stressed with all the little details. Her professionalism in coordinating with all my vendors was unmatched. They all adored her and thanked her for making it all so simple. My husband and I adore Kristen and her team and are SO thankful we got to work with them. Our wedding went SO smoothly and we had multiple people comment on how well it all went. I HIGHLY recommend Calluna to anyone looking to make the stresses of wedding planning a little more fun and easy. Kristen- we love you! Thank you times a million!

First and foremost, Heather was a delight from the very first conversation when I was just beginning the planning process. She made us feel important! How much we would spend wasn’t a “qualifier” and she was only interested in getting to know us. After 2 years of planning, we wanted Heather to dine with us at the rehearsal dinner. She had become a treasured guest, as special to us as family! Heather Dwight, owner of Calluna Events, assembled an incredible team of vendors that delivered a magical and truly unforgettable wedding weekend of our dreams. The wedding was understated elegance with a Ralph Lauren vibe. The weekend was action packed and fun, a true reflection of our life together. The mood board Heather created after the initial phone calls was spot on! From the start she understood our emphasis was a for a unique and memorable guest experience. Heather got the big picture yet executed it in great detail. When we walked into the reception for our private, first look we were blown away, it was absolutely gorgeous. Not a detail overlooked. Our 4-day wedding weekend included Thursday night rehearsal dinner and stargazing party for all, Bridal horseback / hike to picnic lunch, groom’s zip lining, and guest mountain biking and hatchet throwing, Welcome BBQ pig roast, semi formal wedding, after party and Farwell brunch. We spent the first year sending Heather our ideas, thoughts, and selections, and she pulled them all together into a cohesive design and brought our visions to life and executed the weekend flawlessly. While Heather kept us on track throughout the 2 years of planning, it was the last 3 months she shinned. She took care of all the large and small behind the scene details. Her timelines were flawless. Heather is very professional, organized, calm and soft spoken. She deftly steered the ship, working with the MOB, MOG, bride and groom and communicated our visions to all our vendors. Living out of state and managing a growing company, Heather took the stress off me and made the planning process effortless and enjoyable. The day of the wedding, we were so relaxed and stress free. The day flowed so smoothly, I never once looked at the time. Perhaps the best reviews came from Ranch staff who either worked over the weekend or stopped in to see the reception and said it was by far their favorite! Simply put Heather / Calluna are the Best! You’ll get the wedding of your dreams and a friend for life!

Lindsay & Calluna were hands down the best choice we made to assist with our wedding weekend. From initial engagement with Lindsay, we knew we had the right person for Morgan & I. She was so kind, caring, and emotionally/personally invested in our vision for the weekend, it was hard to tell if Morgan or Lindsay wanted it to be perfect more. Lindsay started with us 14 months out from our wedding day coordinating our rehearsal dinner, day of get ready, rehearsal & ceremony, and all the inbetweens/behind the scenes vendor items we couldn’t even see or hear about it because it just got handled by her. The platform Calluna has, local relationships, and expertise is top notch in addition to the amazing customer service and experience they provide. I can’t recommend enough and feel honored to have worked with them + Lindsay.

Heather at Calluna Events was great to work with! If I had to do it all over again Calluna Events would be my first choice ! She delivered such a magical weekend!

We were beyond thrill with Mel Robertz as our daughter's wedding planner. She went above and beyond on the day of the wedding, allowing my husband and I to throughly enjoy the special day. Mel knew exactly what to say and do to calm a nervous bride and she took care of every little detail during the reception. We would highly recommend Mel and Calluna Events

If I had to plan my wedding all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Kristen at Calluna helped make the planning process smooth, fun and enjoyable. She really took the time to get to know my partner and myself to provide tailored recommendations and guidance that fit our personality/style. The day turned out better than I could've ever imagined, and the icing on the cake was that we didn't have to stress about a thing - Kristen handled everything and anything. 5+++ Stars to Kristen and Calluna!

Working with Lindsay at Calluna was amazing. She took care of everything from talking with vendors, picking out food, and just the little details I did not have time to think about! Lindsay made my wedding dreams come true. From the beginning, she understood my vision and she ran with it, and it was absolutely perfect. We had an incredibly smooth and stress-free process and it could not have been done without her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Working with Heather & Calluna events was the best decision I made during my wedding planning process. Not only was Heather an absolute joy to work with, but she helped bring my vision to life in a way I couldn't have even imagined. Throughout the wedding weekend, I honestly couldn't have done it without Heather. She was so detail-oriented, thoughtful, and calm, that it truly made our wedding a dream come true. No matter what the problem or opportunity was, Heather was there to help me every step of the way and I couldn't be happier. We love Calluna and couldn't recommend them enough!

We love Calluna Events!!! Working with Lindsay Hayden was the absolute best decision during our wedding planning process, and she became part of our family along the way :) Not only was she a rockstar during the day-of, but continuously so during the 20 months of preparation leading up to it. Every vendor we worked with spoke so highly of Lindsay & the entire Calluna team. Every big or small detail we envisioned for our incredible day was fulfilled. Our venue was new-ish (about 160 guests total) and Lindsay did an incredible job taking the reins to ensure the process was as smooth as possible. We hoped for a "Kardashian Style" photo booth, and she got it for us! I specifically requested late-night cheeseburgers, Lindsay made it happen! She always stayed in close contact with us, helped create personalized touches, and in the end- unforgettable memories. Lindsay perfectly represents the incredible business that Calluna is, and we are so lucky to have experienced her incredible talents. We very much look forward to working with Calluna for future parties and events!

I had 2 months to plan my wedding that Calluna turned into an editorial dream at Magee Homestead in Wyoming (part of Brushcreek Ranch) . My wedding venue recommended them and later I learned they were an area favorite. Every vendor I had gushed about them. They have a buzz for a reason. Working in a customer service business myself I’m hard to impress. But every email was answered quickly, my vision was executed perfectly and they not only fought for every dollar I spent with every vendor but the owner Heather was taking me through breathing exercises before I walked down the aisle. Furthermore, my guests loved having them be apart of the festivities. Both Heather and Jenna made me feel like the most important client they ever had. They deserve every amazing review. It’s true.. they are the best of the best and I would choose them over and over again.

Working with Calluna was a dream come true! We worked with Melanie Robertz, and we could not have asked for a better planner. From our very first call, Melanie put my mind at ease, and made the entire planning process celebratory and easy. We could always count on her expert opinion, recommendations for other wonderful vendors, and her creative eye throughout our year of planning. She took the time to get to know us as people and as a couple, and ensured that our wedding captured our vision. Because of Melanie, our day was beautifully executed and felt true to the two of us. In the months leading up to our wedding, Melanie was always in close contact and worked closely with us to make sure every detail was perfect. Our entire family and wedding party noted how incredibly kind, efficient, and helpful Melanie was throughout our entire wedding weekend. The whole weekend was stress-free knowing that Melanie had all of the details handled! We would recommend Calluna to anyone, the team truly made the entire planning process incredible!

Calluna Events, specifically Kristen, was an absolute DREAM. Even during the most stressful times of planning, Kristen was always there for us. Our wedding exceeded our expectations and Kristen did such a wonderful job bringing our vision to life. I could not recommend Kristen and Calluna more, trust me, you will not regret working with them!

Calluna Events, specifically Melanie, did a phenomenal job helping us plan our wedding last year! We were lucky to not have to reschedule anything due to Covid, but we were still navigating some difficult obstacles, and Melanie was always there to share her opinion, and expert knowledge to help us make the right decisions. She was in close contact in the few months leading up to our wedding, and I loved having her to bounce ideas off of when it came to our vision, florals, decor, everything! On the day of our wedding, I felt completely relaxed and confident that Melanie had every last detail and logistic covered. That was the best feeling I could have! I would recommend Calluna to anyone looking for a full or partial wedding planner - they are the best in the biz! Thank you again!

What a joy it was working with Melanie from Calluna! She was so positive, creative, and helpful throughout our short wedding planning window of less than 8 months. She helped us assemble a dream team of vendors for our wedding weekend in Colorado, and together they designed and executed the most magical experience for us and our guests. Melanie invested the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, to make sure she could bring our vision to life and also represent our needs on our behalf. She quickly became a trusted advisor and friend, and we feel honored she was a part of our wedding celebration.

We started searching for wedding planners shortly after becoming engaged during COVID in 2020. We were thoroughly impressed with Calluna from the start. Their attention to detail exceeded many others, and they asked us a lot of questions that other planners did not. Lindsay really took the time to get to know us and what we envisioned for our big day. We still wanted to plan several aspects of our wedding, but needed some guidance in the process, some vendor recommendations, and day of coordination. We loved that Calluna did not have a one size fits all approach. They were able to customize a package for us that fit all of our needs. Throughout the process Lindsay was great! She maintained good communication, met deadlines, and went out of her way on several occasions to make sure we were taken care of. The day of our wedding was perfect! Lindsay and her assistant were on top of everything. If there was an issue, we didn't know about it and received numerous compliments from our guests about how well they did. Lindsay was very attentive to us and always made sure we had everything we needed. I can't count how many times we have said they were worth every penny. Calluna truly is wonderful and we could not have picked a better planner to work with for our big day! Thank you Lindsay for everything!

I started researching wedding planners before I even got engaged so when my now husband proposed, Calluna was one of my first calls. We ended up working with Lindsay and the two of us hit it off right away. Having both come from New York, I knew that she would understand what I was looking for but she exceeded all of our expectations. We wanted a wedding that was untraditional and fun and Lindsay delivered. She was able to translate our vision to all of our other vendors and helped keep us calm as COVID restrictions were ever-changing. It was truly the best night of our lives and we couldn't have done it without Lindsay and Calluna's guidance.

Planning a wedding during COVID was not an easy task. I am SO grateful that I had Calluna by my side the whole time. Melanie was my planner and she was extremely kind, calm, and helpful, as we navigated the many ups and downs of planning a wedding during this time. I am so glad that we decided to wait it out and have our wedding in September 2021. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives. The weekend was flawless and couldn't have gone any better. I felt extremely supported by Melanie and really enjoyed working with her. Many of my friends, especially my bridal party, commented on how fabulous Melanie was and how well she handled everything. I'm so glad that I chose Calluna as my wedding planner and wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else! Thank you for everything you do :)

My husband and I live in New Jersey and dreamed of having a wedding in the mountains of Colorado where I grew up. Calluna was responsive to our initial inquiry, easy and fun to work with from start to finish, and made our entire experience amazing. Lindsay Hayden was our Lead Planner and Designer - she was fantastic! The entire Calluna team was wonderful and collaborative. Lindsay was able to intertwine all of our thoughts with her experience and ideas to bring together a large, beautiful and cohesive wedding on the top of Aspen Mountain. During the planning process, Lindsay always gave us multiple options for vendors with different styles and price points. She also negotiated with vendors to get us the best deal for our welcome event, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception. She coordinated with vendors behind the scenes so that everyone worked together efficiently - we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She also worked ahead of schedule so there was less of a time crunch right before the wedding. Lindsay together with her team made my special day memorable and relaxing - I never felt rushed and was taken care of. She had an umbrella ready and was never far away. I told her my dress bustle had fallen down and the next thing I knew, her team was helping me pin it up. We couldn’t have been happier. Thank you, Lindsay and Calluna!

We worked with Heather from Calluna Events when planning our wedding and we cannot say enough about how wonderful the whole process was. We are both very busy with work and six kids, so hiring a wedding coordinator was a must for us. We were so impressed by Heather’s organization and professionalism, both of which were matched by her calm and caring nature. No detail was overlooked and we truly felt that everything we envisioned for the day, Heather helped to make a reality. Calluna had several other weddings the weekend we got married, but Heather made us feel as if ours was the only one and everything from start to finish was seamless. We truly enjoyed every minute, as did our guests. Heather and the Calluna team have so much knowledge and experience in this industry and we felt so fortunate to be able to work with them.We highly recommend this team to anyone planning a wedding or special event. You will be so happy you hired them!

Kristen is actually the best planner out there. I would have actually been lost without her. In the months leading up she made sure I was on track with planning and then RAN THE SHOW on the wedding day. I had guests saying it was the smoothest wedding they have been to, all thanks to Kristen. She is so knowledgable and professional. We love Kristen!!

Wow! What a crazy time to try to plan a wedding during a pandemic. We postponed so this process took over 2 years. We couldn't have done it without Melanie and Calluna Events. I realize they were so busy with wedding this summer due to postponements from last year but they did an incredible job. Melanie was so helpful with all the details especially leading up to the final day. The outcome was fabulous!!

Highly recommend Calluna Events! Navigating a wedding during the pandemic was definitely a challenge but Calluna was there every step of the way. Jean was so great to work with as she really helped me figure out my vision for our big day. Lindsay then took over for Jean, and Lindsay did such a great job helping with everything run smoothly the day of our small intimate ceremony as well as our postponed wedding. I was very grateful to have Calluna Events be a part of our wedding(s) and for all of their help!

It's hard to put into words just how magical it was working with Calluna Events, specifically Heather Dwight. We had a phone consultation in 2019 with Heather to discuss our wedding ideas and I was immediately struck by her calm demeanor, professionalism, and desire to make our event truly unique to us (as we wanted a more eclectic/non-traditional wedding). After talking with her, we instantly knew she was meant to be our wedding planner. We started working with Heather as she helped us plan both our 20 person intimate destination wedding weekend in Colorado and our 100 person wedding reception party in Virginia. As we worked together for over two years (we had to postpone - shout out to the covid brides/grooms/partners) I began to see why Calluna Events is such a sought after wedding planning company - and it starts with their owner, Heather. Heather goes above and beyond; She kept all of our vendors in the loop when we had to postpone our events. When the events finally happened, she provided detailed day of timelines for all of the vendors. She's an organizational genius. Heather is a go getter; Throughout the planning process, we had a lot of questions for the venues. If we had a question regarding the venue, she would quickly reply "I'll ask them" or "I'll circle back with them since we haven't heard." Heather is responsive and provides exceptional customer service; She understood just how important our special day meant to us and wanted to alleviate any stress we had by getting back to us in a timely manner. Heather is detail oriented and creative; She cared about the little things just as much as we did. She's basically the Mary Poppins of wedding planning and always had multiple design ideas up her sleeves. Heather is humble; She is kind-hearted, hard-working, and gracious in all that she does. Heather is budget-conscious; She listened to our budget needs and offered multiple budget friendly options in all planning areas. Heather is always rooting for her couples; She recognized what was most important to us on our wedding day and kept it top priority. She wanted us to have THE TIME OF OUR LIVES at our wedding and it showed because she put an immense amount of effort and care into the planning process. Heather truly makes wedding magic happen and we were beyond fortunate to work with such a talented and lovely person. We would recommend working with her a thousand times over and can't wait to work with her again in the future (baby shower one day?!). Thank you Heather! xox

I can’t recommend Lindsay and the Calluna team enough. We had a microwedding in Boulder this summer and even though the guest count was much lower than normal at 10 people, I always felt like I was a top priority for Lindsay. She really made an effort to get to know me and understand what was important to me for my wedding. She helped me articulate my vision perfectly and made the most thoughtful recommendations on vendors, timelines, decor decisions, and more. The entire wedding day was absolutely seamless with zero surprises which helped me relax and focus on spending my time with my family instead of worrying about timing or details. It was a perfect day thanks to Lindsay and the Calluna team.

We honestly can’t recommend Calluna enough. They genuinely went above and beyond every step of the way. When we started working with Calluna, we had no idea it would turn into a nearly two year relationship (and neither did they!) thanks to Covid. We did a bulk of our wedding planning before Covid hit, working with Jean, who really helped a vision that we had no idea we had come to life. She was extremely communicative and patient each step of the way, and helped us move all of our vendor contracts when we had to delay a year due to Covid. In that time, it ended up that we needed to switch wedding planners due to the new timeline, and we started working with Lindsey who was a total all-star. She picked up right where Jean left off, and 100% delivered on our vision. The day of the wedding went off without a single hitch. I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t stressed at all, and that was a testament to Lindsay and her team, and the amazing coordination with all of our vendors. I really can’t recommend Calluna highly enough, we couldn’t have been happier with our big day.

Working with Calluna Events was the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process! Melanie Robertz is the kindest soul and was so on top of everything from start to finish. She was the calming presence to all of our stressful meetings during the pandemic when we weren't sure what was going to happen with our wedding. I trusted her opinions and suggestions for vendors, timeline, design ideas, etc. wholeheartedly and she truly made the wedding of my dreams happen! I loved working with Melanie and the Calluna team and can't recommend them enough!!

Calluna Events knocked our wedding out of the park. Being from New York City wanted to give our guests a completely different experience than they had been to before for many weddings - Calluna made this possible in Wyoming. They took everything we said and executed our dreams seamlessly. We worked with Spice Jones who we can not recommend enough. I went from thinking this experience might be insane to having it be the best year of my life planning alongside the Calluna team. I would recommend Calluna for ANY wedding venue or size as they know exactly how important each and every details is for the bride and groom along with each guest. 10/10

I was a Covid-19 bride who had plans to get married in Tuscany in July 2020 and unfortunately, everything had to change. I decided to get married in Colorado 3-weeks prior to the set wedding date and Calluna Events were accommodating, on-board with the quick turn around and went above and beyond to make my wedding happen. The wedding turned out like a dream and I could not be more thankful for Calluna Events! I will recommend Calluna again and again! Do not hesitate moving with them and book Calluna as your wedding planner!!

When choosing our vendors, I had a vision of bringing together a group of kickass talented people. Wedding vendors are not only with you for an entire day of the wedding, but almost a full year in preparation. All this talent needed a leader to understand their skill and let them flourish in a fun, smooth environment. For us, that was Heather and her Calluna team. She knew that a successful wedding is based off a happy couple and a happy vendor squad. She did all this working in a different state - she even attended our tasting via FaceTime! In the beginning we had the pleasure of working with Jean, alongside Heather, and her calm composure was what kept us sane while locking in our dream venue - which was a unique process... During the planning, my check ins with them were the best part of my day. Every detail I told, no matter how small, was never forgotten, even months later. Jean had her adorable baby and Heather took the lead from there. The transition was so smooth and I always felt supported. Heather was on board with any crazy idea we threw at her - which were many. She truly became a friend and was always available to chat. On the day of the wedding, we got to witness the real magic of Heather in action and it was brilliant. She treated me and my family like her own and was never flustered with their questions or asks. The bridal party especially loved their personal timelines she made for them. This showed that she was not only my planner, but theirs as well. She made sure she was there to help any of them. This was especially key in the times of COVID because there were unique nerves they may have had that go beyond typical wedding nerves. Being a Calluna couple has been a true joy and I truly consider Heather a part of our family.

I truly do not have the words to describe what a blessing it was to have had Calluna Events as our planner over the past year and a half. Covid really threw us, as it did everyone, for a curve and we had to relocate our wedding from Colorado Springs back home to Dallas. Jean was immediately on board with the change and was there every step of the way. Even without the craziness of 2020, I can say with absolute certainty we could not have done it without our planner, Jean. She was an absolute rockstar and I can honestly say became much more a friend than our planner. Our wedding was so much more than I ever could have imagined, and I owe everything to Jean and Calluna. I cannot recommend enough and am so thankful.

Not only was Heather our go-to for literally everything wedding-related, but she became an extension of the family throughout the process. She never judged our craziness (!) and I'm certain my dad wanted to adopt her by the end of the wedding weekend. She was so professional and easy to work with, not to mention the vendors and expertise she brought to the table were unparalleled. We are so grateful for such an amazing weekend and the countless unforgettable memories.

Not easy to pull off a FaBuLoUs wedding during the Covid pandemic – but with the help of Calluna Events – and in particular, Melanie Robertz – my daughter had the dream wedding she had hoped for in the beautiful Vail, Colorado mountains. Melanie was on top of every single detail. When Melanie said, “Consider it handled”, we knew we could check it off our list – such reassuring words! Besides being efficient and very detail-oriented, Melanie was delightful to work with. If you are planning your wedding – I highly recommend you have Calluna Events in your corner! And ask for Melanie!

Wow. I truly don't even know where to begin with Calluna. They are absolutely INCREDIBLE at what they do. Lindsay Hayden helped to make our dream wedding a reality in just 10 short weeks. She went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was meticulously taken care of. Her dedication, kindness, and unbelievable planning abilities were nothing short of amazing; she is a dream come true! I can't recommend their services enough! If you are planning a wedding, you need Calluna on board.

4 weeks before my daughter’s wedding the pandemic restrictions led to changing the reception venue to The St. Vrain in Longmont, Colorado in order to allow more guests to safely attend. The St. Vrain required a professional planner although I didn’t think it was necessary given my 25 years of experience planning events as an Executive Assistant for Fortune 100 companies in Silicon Valley. I was wrong! Engaging with Calluna Events was the best decision we made! Melanie Robertz stepped in and effectively coordinated the rehearsal and wedding day with multiple vendors, 2 locations, a large bridal party (7 bridesmaids/7 groomsmen and 2 flower girls) during a pandemic, smoke from surrounding fires AND summer temps topping 98 degrees the day of the wedding! Melanie saved the day! She put together a detailed itinerary and collaborated closely with all of the vendors doing run-thru’s managing every detail down to having bottled water in coolers ensuring our guests comfort. I did not have to worry or even pay attention to logistics. The rehearsal ran smoothly and Melanie made sure the bridal party felt comfortable and well-prepared. On the wedding day she arrived on time and her team jumped in to handle decorations, logistics and bridal party needs. Her staff showed professionalism, composure, flexibility and care that led our guests to a wonderful experience and our bridal party to getting all their needs met. During the ceremony one of the teenage groomsmen almost fainted and Melanie spotted the situation and carefully escorted him to safety so smoothly that I didn’t even know anything had happened until after the ceremony. Our focus stayed on the bride and groom and we didn’t miss a moment of their vows! At the reception I wasn’t aware that we were supposed to provide the ice for the bar drinks. Melanie enlisted help and got the ice delivered without a hitch! She handled the behind-the-scenes logistics so effortlessly that I stayed relaxed and engaged in all the fun the entire time. I am happy to highly recommend Calluna Events for your big day!

Calluna Events was initially recommended to me by a friend and the wedding venue owner. Almost everyone we met during the planning process praised the Calluna Team. Melanie surpassed our expectations and brought our dreams to life, despite numerous COVID-19 era challenges. We admire her creativity, resourcefulness, optimism, and compassion and we are fortunate to have worked with her.

met Heather because my sister hired her to do her wedding in Wyoming a few years ago. I got to know her over the weekend, and I quickly realized why my sister hired her and Calluna to do her wedding. She has this amazing, calming energy, but was on top of everything. Long story short, when it was time to plan my wedding just two years later, which was going to be in NYC and a new location for Calluna, I knew I could trust her. Of course, everything about the day, the weekend, the planning, was *perfect*-- all thanks to her and the Calluna team.

Calluna Events is incredible! As a bride planning a wedding during COVID I have no idea what I was doing and didn't know where to find relevant information. Heather jumped on a call with me and answered all of my questions. It was so helpful to talk to someone with industry knowledge. For any bride who is navigation this challenging landscape reach out to Calluna Events!

Before we even got engaged I knew I wanted to have Calluna Events as part of my wedding day! When looking at their instagram, everything looked so beautiful, personalized to the couple, and FUN and that's exactly what is like (and more) when working with them. Calluna Events was the best choice we made for our wedding! We were so incredibly lucky to work with Jean and honestly I am sad that our wedding is done that we no longer get to work with her anymore! She was SO well prepared, professional, and kind. She truly listened to what we wanted, found us so many options, and then did everything she could to make our vision happen. Jean made it so easy on us to work with vendors and found us the best ones. Our wedding day was the least stressful day ever because of Jean. Everything was organized so perfectly that we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and never once had to think of the time or stress about getting something done. Almost all of the vendors told me they were so impressed with the timeline that was provided to them and had no additional questions for us as a couple because Jean was on top everything! We are so incredibly lucky to have had a beautiful and fun wedding day and it is all thanks to Jean and Calluna Events!

Heather (owner of Calluna) was offering complimentary session for brides that were affected by COVID. As a health care worker from NYC and planning a destination wedding at the same time, my stress at work and at home was out of control. When I saw her complimentary session, I took it right away! First of all, she responded to my initial request within a day. She communicated well and able to do a phone session with me within days. Heather was professional, thoughtful, and so impressive! She gave me amazing advice on how to approach vendors/venues during the pandemic. I was able to postpone our wedding with little hassle because of her. In addition, she keeps us updated with the regulations in Colorado since we are based from NY/NJ area. Highly recommend her and her team!

As a vendor in the industry, I highly recommend Calluna Events. Not only are they super helpful, they truly care. About their clients, the vendors, and all of the aspects in event planning. They are a leader in their industry and a true resource for vendors and clients! Thank you for all that you do, you guys are truly the best! Thank you for providing guidance to vendors and clients!

Looking back on 2019 (my husband and mine's FAVORITE YEAR EVER!!) We feel so thankful for so many different people, things, and moments in our lives, and Calluna Events is absolutely one of them! We got married on Labor Day Weekend In Vail, CO and Calluna's amazing Melanie Robertz helped us make all of our wedding dreams become reality! From the moment I met Melanie, I instantly felt like she was one of my sisters and her witty and quick-on-her feet personality was an instant hit with my funny and fast-moving family! I was definitely one of those brides that has been planning my wedding since I was a little girl, and Melanie, Heather, Jean, and the Calluna Team seemed to automatically know exactly what I was envisioning for our classic, black tie, yet cozy, mountain wedding. Melanie was so organized, (which is not exactly my strong point!) and amazing at connecting us with and relaying information to our various vendors all throughout the planning process. Especially in the final weeks leading up to the wedding, she was SO helpful and even came over to our house to help us pack for Vail, triple checking that we crossed everything off of our packing list, from our table numbers to our after party glow necklaces and everything in between!! Finally, on our wedding day, Melanie and her team were totally cool, calm, and collected which helped Pete and I continue to feel relaxed and truly enjoy every moment of our special day!! Pete and I strongly recommend Calluna Events for any couple who is looking for a Wedding Planner with the highest quality service, professionalism, and extensive experience, that simultaneously makes you feel like they're a part of your family! Thank you, Melanie and Calluna Events for your wonderful work helping us to bring our wedding (aka the best day and party of our lives!) to life! We truly wish we could relive it again and again!!

We utilized Calluna Events and Jean Ellison specifically for our daughter's wedding in Colorado this past July. We are located in Atlanta, and the bride and groom are in Denver- so we relied heavily on Jean to not only help us through the process but coordinate with the resort located in Tabernash, the florist in Denver etc. Jean was so professional and brought experience from many areas of wedding planning. Whenever we expressed concern about anything Jean would say 'It's all good'; she didn't miss a beat in reassuring us and following up. Jean was great about returning calls or texts and following up with requested information. Jean had experience with of many different vendors and the vendors all knew Calluna events whose reputation for professionalism is well known. So many guests approached us at the reception and said it was teh best wedding they had ever attended!

Melanie & the Calluna team were AMAZING! There is absolutely no way I would have been able to pull it off without them, esp. since we were planning a Colorado wedding from Texas in 4.5 months. Melanie was so thoughtful and detailed, and a great listener to all my stressful breakdowns. So grateful for them!

Jean was my event coordinator and our wedding was a truly special event. Despite weather delays and the need to integrate several differing opinions on the planning process, it all came together beautifully and was the dream wedding.

If you need to plan a GORGEOUS and PERFECT wedding fast, Calluna can do it! Heather and Spice were the dynamic duo who supported me and my now husband in our dream of having a fall mountain wedding just 3.5 months after getting engaged! Most brides will probably say this, but we had the wedding of the century!!! Beautiful, well-prepared food, heart-felt ceremony, seamless logistics, and endless memories to reflect on for many years to come. Thank you, Spice & Heather! xo

Claudia was my planner and she was absolutely wonderful! Despite being switched to my planner about 2-3 months out (due to circumstances out of their control), she was perfect!!! I was able to relax and enjoy my day as she was constantly making rounds, making sure everything was perfect. From setup to dismantle, I couldn’t have asked for someone better. I was able to think of her as an extension of me, and I couldn’t be more thankful. THANK YOU!!!!

Where do I even begin? Heather and her Calluna team are truly the nicest, most hard working, wonderful, passionate people you'll ever meet. I'm sad my wedding is over because I don't get to talk to Heather on a daily basis anymore. She quickly becomes a major part of your life, and makes every step of the process as easy as possible. She knows all the best vendors, has great ideas, and knows how to make what feels like an impossible idea an easy task. Our wedding was quite the logistical feat, and she did all the hard work so I wasn't worried. We were the first seated ceremony at the Milk Market Alley, but you wouldn't have known that. It was flawless. She saw our vision, and made it happen. I would send her some crazy late night emails when I was stressing, and she always put me at ease. She is a woman who gets things done, and you'd never know if it was stressful for her. She is calm and puts you at ease the whole time. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, and it was the most magical day ever. I miss Heather and her team, they were such a big part of our lives for six months. This team can make any dream come true, and they are so wonderful to work with. This review took me awhile to write, because I felt like I wasn't going to be able to do enough justice to how much we appreciate Heather. She made the process fun, and exciting. And she was just as happy for us to get married as our friends and family. She felt like family through the whole process. I can't recommend her enough. All the reviews of how wonderful she is are true. If you want the best wedding planner in Colorado, and really the USA, she is it.

Five stars doesn't quite do justice to the exceptional job Heather Dwight and the Calluna Events team did planning my wedding at Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming. The weekend was seamless and the planning process fun and enjoyable. Heather not only managed a complicated itinerary with a variety of vendors and guest needs, but also pulled a full three days of festivities together over a short time horizon. Her rates are fair if not underpriced for the amount of hard work she and the Calluna team put in. Heather's approach is relaxed yet thorough. She is so calm and confident that you almost wonder if she has an army of elves working through the night to answer all her emails and pull all your information into her spreadsheets. She's organized, thoughtful and commanding. Best of all she has great taste. I strongly recommend hiring Heather and Calluna Events.
