My wife and I operate a local not for profit 501c3. We recently met with Holly for a planning session to assist with our first annual fundraising dinner. Holly is Incredibly professional, warm and a joy to work with. I left our planning meeting feeling confident knowing we had a clear direction, local connections, a clear layout for our event as well as support. Her knowledge and experience helped us not just execute but elevate such an important event. Thank you Holly. Forever grateful.

We could not have been more pleased with having Holly and her team at two of the most special days in our life. Not only did we hire Holly for our wedding in 2022, but then we knew that we had to have her again for our baby shower the following year. Holly and her team’s professionalism is unmatched. They are truly the best at what they do. Don’t worry about thinking of those small details - Holly’s team thinks of every tiny detail and then some to make sure your day is absolutely perfect in every way. We love you Holly and look forward to the next event we can have you handle for us! 🥰❤️

Handled by Holly is hands down the best wedding planning team. When our wedding officiant recommended her we didn’t think twice. They made our special day that much special by providing us with a stress free service that went above and beyond our expectations. In Holly we have found a friend. Both her and her team are extremely talented individuals and I would highly encourage you to hire her and her team. It will take the stress out of your busy wedding day. They did an amazing job at handling all tasks even the ones we didn’t think of. At the end of the night we found our suite beautifully decorated. Thanks for a memorable experience Handled by Holly.

The best decision of our wedding planing was finding Holly and her team. They made our day truly the best day of our life’s, my wife and I are forever grateful for the work, attention to detail, the very kind words and feelings, the personal touches, and how everything was really handled to perfection. Holly and her team took care of all the details so my wife and I could relax and celebrate our love and our day. Having a Disney wedding was stressful (and even more stress living in Chicago and planing) but Holly was very active in help with that stress. If anyone is still deciding, I promise you that this is a NEED and not a want to have Holly and her team to have your back on your wedding. Pray everyone gets to feel how special my wife and I did on our day with no worries bc we had Holly.

Holly and her team go above and beyond for their clients and vendors. We had the pleasure of providing our Studio Glam Booth with custom Photo Prints and a keepsake guestbook to a wedding she planned and the wedding was a total hit! She executed the perfect wedding day in Lakeland, Florida at Haus 820. A chic wedding vibe with black and white details throughout. Can’t wait to work with Holly and her wedding team again!

As Mother of the Bride, I wanted to ensure that my daughter and her fiance had their ideal wedding. Having recently retired and having planned my own wedding years before, I felt that we could do a great job together in planning the wedding and reception. When my daughter first mentioned the idea of a wedding/event planner, I did not think it was necessary but after seeing how much it would allay her anxiety, it was well worth it.

Remember what I said about planning? Well planning is only half of it. Executing the plan is all of it and this is what Holly and team did for us. One of Holly’s many qualities is that she is positive. She is low key but dynamic and she is everywhere in every moment. She anticipates what needs to be done and reacts to unforeseen changes. She does both with confidence and a smile. Well before the wedding, we were provided a plan of the days events which had been coordinated with the other vendors. In real time, the schedule of events were seamlessly altered, as needed, mainly for the sake of weather. She and her assistant Lindsay were a constant throughout the day. You could see it and feel it and we felt secure that everything that we had planned, and more, was being done.

Back in the day, we would "...hope for the best".

Why hope when you can have the best with an event planner like Holly.

Best decision ever.

Thank you for everything!!

Where do I even begin?! Holly and her team at Handled by Holly made my wedding dreams come true! From our very first meeting, Holly felt like my best friend, and I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive, fun, and caring person to be by my side through the planning process. Every call, every email—she was right there, paying attention to every single detail and making me feel completely at ease. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Holly has this magic way of turning it into an absolute joy. It felt like we were just two friends laughing, planning, and creating something special together!

On the big day, Holly and her incredible team were beyond amazing. Her staff was so friendly and made my entire wedding party and every guest feel welcome and taken care of. They truly went above and beyond, and I could feel their genuine excitement for us. And when I saw the venue… WOW. Holly and her team turned it into the most breathtaking setting I could have imagined. Every little touch, every decoration, was beyond perfect. It felt like stepping into a dream, and I’ll never forget the joy I felt seeing it all come together.

If you hire Handled by Holly for your wedding, you’re in the best hands possible!!! Holly isn’t just a planner; she’s a friend who cares deeply about making your day perfect. I feel so grateful for everything she did, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! 🤍
