Hey! Party Collective

Wow Wow Wow! Hey Party Collective was the Wedding Planner of our dreams. I've grown up working in events, catering and the restaurant business, and am lucky enough to own a restaurant now, and my now wife(!) has also worked a long career in restaurants and food business. We both completely agree, Nicole and Hey Party Collective was just amazing from day one, through the big day. Hey Party Collective was strongly suggested to us from a mutual friend and photographer, and getting a referral from an industry coworker that was unsolicited is always a good way to go. Boy, were they right! Nicole was professional, fun, diligent, organized and executed to the 'T'. In my opinion, if you are lucky enough to book your next event with Nicole and Hey Party Collective, you will have a great time planning and putting the big show together and your guests will benefit from her vision, creativity, attention to detail and professional execution.

We were first introduced to Nicole and her company, Hey! Party Collective, via a referral from a friend who retained Hey! Party to help plan her and her husband’s wedding. We first reached out to Nicole in late 2016 as we were beginning to plan our 2018 wedding. Right away, I was impressed with Nicole’s knowledge and expertise, and her willingness to share insights on venues, locations, and themes, even before officially engaging her services. We interviewed a few other wedding planners, but ultimately felt Nicole & Hey! Party were the best fit for us. Over the next year, Nicole helped us define our vision and then executed. She fielded our questions, took care of scheduling all the appointments (venues, florals, rentals, cake, catering, linens, DJs, the list goes on & on), managed all contact/scheduling with vendors, and managed our budget and payment due dates. Everything Nicole needed our input or guidance on was summarized and delivered to us in manageable checklists, and well in-advance of when we needed to make a decision. Nicole performed all these duties flawlessly, which eliminated all the stress of planning; however, what we appreciated the most was her flexibility. Our demanding work and travel schedules, in addition to living in a different state than our wedding location, meant we would often need to connect with Nicole after hours or on weekends – she always made herself available when she could. Our wedding day was amazing and most of the credit goes to Nicole and her team at Hey! Party Collective. Nicole handled every, single aspect of the day – there was nothing we worried about (even when we were running low on white wine – she had a member of her team bring some more), except the normal pre-wedding nervousness! During and after the wedding, we received many compliments including how well-organized the evening was – a testament to Nicole and Hey! Party’s work.

From our very first meeting with Nicole at Hey! Party Collective, we knew that our wedding was in great hands. Nicole connected us with some of the most amazing vendors, kept us on track with important deadlines, and brought fresh and fun ideas to the planning process. I loved that she encouraged us to express ourselves and helped to create a wedding that was true to us, as a couple. She was also able to answer all of our questions, from marriage licenses to wedding etiquette, with confidence and ease. On the day of the wedding, I was completely stress-free. The ceremony and reception design was better than I could have ever imagined, the day/night ran so smoothly, and everyone was having the best time. Guests were actually coming up to me and commenting on how relaxed I looked. This was because I knew that Nicole had everything under control. Her attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, patience, and fun-loving attitude make her one of the best planners out there!

We hired Hey! Party Collective for month-of wedding coordination and were so thrilled to have outstanding help leading up to the event and especially the day-of. I definitely trusted Nicole to execute everything. Even if it was a quick comment I made in a buried email - she was on it. Nicole was also super responsive and helpful way before our "month" had even started, keeping us on track with a detailed checklist. Her vendor relationships and event planning knowledge make a REAL difference throughout the process. She did much more than make sure all the boxes were checked; she made sure the entire day was exactly how we envisioned. While we didn't budget for design help for our wedding, I would have loved to hire Nicole for that as well. She has amazing style and creativity that proves she does not create cookie-cutter events. Wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone whose top priority is having a memorable, personalized and FUN wedding!

We were so lucky to work with Nicole on our wedding! We were planning a Colorado wedding from Germany, 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.

Nicole made sure that my wedding was the BEST DAY EVER. She's detail oriented, direct and has great style! Along with her own fabulous service, she also has a list of vendors who are as equally wonderful as she is! Nicole made sure that we were always on track and having a good time during the planning process. I know that I couldn't have gotten through this process without her.

We hired Hey! Party Collective to help with our wedding planning and overall wedding design. We were beyond impressed with the whole process from start to finish. Nicole took our design vision and made it even better! She also recommended amazing vendors and coordinated directly with each vendor to ensure our wedding day was stress free. Nicole is professional, very organized, and has an eye for design. Our wedding design was truly a reflection of our relationship and our personal styles. Hiring Hey! Party Collective was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process!

Hiring Nicole was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process! She took our Pinterest boards and brought the design/look and feel to life within our budget. We also used all her vendor connections and they were all amazing and truly the perfect fit (plus all her vendors LOVE her!). She is beyond organized (it was great working with a fellow type-A!) and professional and has incredible vision and taste. She was always easily reachable, quick to reply and answered every question we had, big and small. She made it so on the day-of, the wedding looked perfect and we were able to fully enjoy the moment :)

Working with Nicole from Hey! Party Collective was easily the best decision I made when planning our wedding (other than groom selection, of course!). Nicole helped us plan an incredible wedding for 200 guests in under 6 months. Her recommendations from florist to catering and rentals were spot on, and tailored to our vision, venue, and budget. She made planning a wedding stress free and fun! It was amazing to work with someone who not only has great taste and is fun to work with, but is also incredibly reliable, organized, and accessible. The entire wedding and reception went flawlessly, and she had great relationships with all of our vendors and family as well. I'm going to miss working with her!

Working with Nicole was great!!! She is very down to earth, professional and puts you at ease. I needed help with almost everything with my wedding since I am not a good planner and wedding planning can be a very overwhelming task. Nicole provided help for everything we were in need of: She recommended other local vendors for us to use which were all great. She also had great ideas for decor and finishing touches. Very organized and I never felt overwhelmed on my wedding date. She was never pushy and very respectful of our decisions. I would like to add that we changed our date and venue a couple times and she rolled with punches like a champ. She offers a few different wedding planning packages and we went with the mid-package. I am so happy that we decided on that because we needed help with most decisions. Since this was our first wedding we really didn’t know what to expect so she was super helpful and guided us through everything. I am so grateful for everything that she did and I highly recommend Nicole at Hey! Party Collective!!!

If you are looking for a fresh perspective on wedding planning, this is it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience in our planning process and wedding day. We had the dream wedding we couldn't have imagined ourselves, I would do it all over again! The only thing I would do differently is hiring them sooner!

Nicole from Hey! Party Collective contributed so much to our special day and we couldn’t have had such a beautifully put together wedding without her! She is very detail oriented, organized and is simply, very fun to work with. She found ways to make all of our quirky wishes as well as our not-so-put-together wishes work, and we are so happy she did! Hey! Party Collective is the total package- top of the line organization, outstanding communication, an eye for design and straight up fun!

Hiring Nicole is the best decision we made for our wedding. She has a "can do" attitude and is all about rolling up her sleeves and getting the job done. She was totally onboard for my non-traditional decor ideas, and she had great recommendations for other vendors to hire as well. She made our wedding a huge success!

Hey! Party Collective is an exceptional wedding planning company! Nicole Lowry worked closely with all of us to plan my daughter's wedding. They are quite organized, have a wide range of services, excellent vendor connections and are fairly priced. Nicole was flexible and worked well with the bride and groom to keep them on track to finish their assignments and keep the schedule moving. In the end, we needed a rain plan (lucky it didn't, but we had a plan) and she delivered great options on short notice. I couldn't recommend this company more highly! Terrific, just Terrific!!

WOW!!!! You need Nicole and Hey! Party Collective. I honestly can not say enough good things. I was planning my wedding from Seattle, and knew that I wanted some day of help, but I wasn't sure if it was in the budget for a day of even coordinator. Thank god I made room for it because it was hands down the best decision I made. Honestly, Nicole made everything effortless and was there to answer any questions from ... what table arrangement is best? to how much should I tip a DJ? She is professional, hard working and on top of her stuff!! My parents were pleasantly surprised with how much she took off of all of our hands. She was great at dealing with the vendors and putting MY desires first priority. I would HIGHLY recommend her and the entire team. THANK YOU for an amazing wedding day experience.

Yes, the last thing anyone needs is more wedding advice. But I'm going to give it to you anyway: hire Hey! Party Collective and all of your wedding dreams WILL come true. As a Type-A professional with no experience in event planning, I was worrying about every little detail of our wedding months in advance. When I finally met with Nicole, I realized what I needed to do--outsource to a professional with the skills, experience and connections that I didn't have. It was EXACTLY what I needed for peace of mind. She is the quintessential planner--organized, detail-oriented, with an eye towards problem-solving. Additionally, Nicole and Christy collaborated to bring my Pinterest board to life (on a realistic scale, of course!)--everything from the ceremony backdrop to the lounge areas to the cake display. My wedding was absolutely gorgeous and there is no way that I could have done it on my own. I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know!!!

Hey!Party was a dream come true. I had just moved to Denver and didn't know anyone let alone vendors, locations, etc. I was referred to Nicole from Hey! Party Collective and from that point on all my stress was gone. I travel for work and am generally gone 4+ days a week; so planning a wedding in an unfamiliar town seemed like a nightmare before I started working with Nicole. Her attention to detail; vendor relationships and general knowledge of the industry in Denver was priceless. I opted to pick a few specific items for her to help me with and then the day of coordination; but looking back- I definitely should have hired her for the Full Service Wedding Planning and Design. My wedding day was an absolute dream and I KNOW it was because of Hey! Party Collective. I didn't have one worry, stress or awkward situation. I tell my husbad pretty much every other day that I wished we could get married again because the day was so perfect.

We found Hey!Party through a mishmash of searching but I was mainly turned on to them by Apartment Therapy as a high design, professional wedding planning company out of Denver. Now Denver is great, but high design is not something that I automatically associate with the city and it was a pleasure to find Hey Party as absolutely true to it's word. Everything they do it beautiful and their attention to detail is remarkable. Our coordinator was Nicole and I really can't tell you how much we loved her. She got three marriage proposals from various wedding guest and groomsmen by the end of the night, she is so badass and so competent that it inspired love. Alas, she is already happily married. Nicole was everything you look for in a planner - patient, engaged, exceedingly competent, calm, organized, and very fun to work with. We trust her implicitly and she handled all the planned and unplanned details with grace and enthusiasm. My husband and I couldn't have been happier. I challenge you to find a better coordinator or planner anywhere. Honestly, Nicole was so awesome we were sad to see her go after our last meeting/stuff pickup. We are in similar industries and look forward to seeing her around town. She was, without a doubt, the best choice we made while planning our wedding and if I had to do it over again, I would have upgraded our package with her from our one month (very reasonable at $1500) to the whole event planning and design. It would be a mistake not to hire Hey Party for whatever you need for your wedding. They really are the best.

I don't know why I ever thought I didn't need wedding planners. They were probably one of the best investments we made for the wedding day, because if they didn't already know each of our vendors, they immediately reached out & coordinated, put out fires, started some (sparklers!), knew the whole flow and kept everyone on the same page. They even emailed everyone an itinerary so we all knew where to be and when. But the best part was that they were honestly the friendliest ladies I've ever met, and made me feel so much better about everything coming together. Totally your new wedding BFFs. Thanks again, Hey! Party Collective!

My husband and I found Hey! Party Collective in 2014 at Denver's Lovesick Expo and could not have been happier with the meeting. We decided we couldn't handle the wedding planning on our own and met with Nicole and Christie of Hey! Party to discuss our Summer Camp wedding dream. From the very start, they totally understood our vision. We were open to their interpretation and loved every minute of working with them. They are truly talented. Not once did we feel pressure to do something we didn't want to do. Every vendor Hey! Party Collective found for the big day was equally creative and talented. Most importantly, Nicole and Christie were down to earth and honest about everything they did. Everything came together so perfectly and they were on site the whole wedding weekend to make sure everything went off without a hitch. We got married September 2014 in Granby, CO. I was truly blown away by the beautiful setting they created for our wedding and the work they continue to do for other Denver couples. I recommend them to any couple who wants and out of the box wedding. Nicole and Christie you are truly rockstars and Z and I know you'll continue to see success!

These ladies are AMAZING! We booked them as "month of" planners for our wedding and it was one of the best choices we made throughout the whole wedding planning process. Once I booked everything, I was overwhelmed with having to actually coordinate my vendors and who was going to decorate the day of?! I didn't want me and my bridesmaids to have to do it - I just wanted to relax. Christie and Nicole swooped in and took over everything when I needed them to the most. I could finally breathe again! They coordinated with all our vendors and styled both our ceremony and reception venues. Our reception was held at one of our favorite places in Denver to go grab drinks and I was a bit worried that it would feel like "just another night out" and not special enough for a wedding reception. I didn't get to see how it turned out until I walked in with all my guests after the ceremony and let me tell you - I was moved to tears and overwhelmed at how beautifully they had styled the space. It was perfect. They made everything so easy for us. The week of the wedding wasn't spent stressing and running around pulling out our hair - it was spent welcoming family and friends into town and relaxing. I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it again - these girls were my saving grace and we couldn't have done it without them. You will NOT be disappointed if you hire them!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding we had a lot of different ideas--the only thing we knew for sure was that we didn't want it to be typical or old-fashioned. Nicole and Christie took all of our ideas and ran with them. When I walked into my wedding venue, it was like a dream—every detail was perfect, all thanks to Christie and Nicole. They were extremely communicative throughout the process; they quickly and confidently let us know their thoughts on all of our ideas (even up to the last minute when I decided I wanted last minute heaters at the venue). On the day of our wedding, they made sure everything ran perfectly, so my husband and I could enjoy the festivities. I would hire Christie and Nicole again—they are the perfect mix of professional and creative. They will ensure your wedding is a unique and special occasion.

Hey! Party Collective was the absolute best. I plan events (a lot of events) for work so I never thought we needed someone to help plan our wedding. My mom insisted, and my oh my was she right. Nicole, right from the start, was on it with out of the box ideas, money saving tips, and industry specific knowledge. She was able to provide us with the unique, super personalized experience we were looking for. While I am sure she could have done anything, my (now) husband and I were not looking for a super matchy, matchy nor a super "pinterest-y" wedding. We wanted something beautiful, and classic and innovative and fun. Nicole executed with laser precision and was an absolute perfect pleasure to work with. I never thought I would work with an event planner, and I truly can't imagine doing an event without Nicole again!

The moment I called Hey! Party Collective was the first moment I could breathe. Nicole gracefully moved in and helped my daughter and me with everything from negotiations to logistics to decor to catering...and ON! Our daughter's entire wedding weekend was a joyous, seamless family event. I can NOT say enough. If you are fortunate enough to book these smart women, count your lucky stars. They are wonderful.
