No to...
Save you time, because you don’t have the 400+ hours it can take to plan a one-of-a-kind wedding.
Focus on what you want — from how you envision your ceremony to the unforgettable moments you don’t even realize are in store for you.
Let you actually enjoy your wedding and the process leading up to it because this entire kick-ass experience is for you.
Applause-Worthy Wedding Planning Services That...
We do not offer "day-of" wedding coordination services. Due to the large amount of detail required to make an event run seamlessly (as is my style), I do not offer day-of coordination. While, "day-of" coordination is thrown around alot on wedding blogs, there is no way wedding planning is done in just one day! Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will your wedding. There are plenty of wedding planners who offer this service, but we are not one of them.

I get it done and make it look easy designing and planning weddings that are just as marvelous as they are meaningful. I customize every moment, creating a wedding experience that’s as full of life as you are.

HI, I'm HOLLY GRAY
color queen and wedding planner extraordinaire
diverse weddings for diverse individuals
because inequality
& hate suck.
Everyone is welcome.
Anything But Gray Events proudly supports other local small businesses, the LGBTQ+ community and The Black Lives Matter movement. My devotion to showcasing inclusivity, diversity, and love of all shapes, colors, and sizes is evident not only in my weddings and events but also in my vendor partners and associations. I am not only a Equally Wed LGBTQ+ inclusive and preferred vendor, but the Equally Wed Award Best LGBTQ+ Inclusive Wedding Planner/Coordinator Winner 2021. Not all weddings have a bride. Not all weddings have a groom. Some have neither, but ALL weddings have LOVE!
- STEPHEN, Wedding at THE EBELL of LOS ANGELES
"Holly provides this incredible support that you don’t realize you need until you’re in the thick of planning your wedding!"
"She brings a big, fun energy, with a professionalism that gets the job done!"
- Kiley, Wedding at The Lodge at Malibou Lake
"Once we hired her I knew it was one of the best decisions I had ever made...besides marrying my fiancé (now husband). We couldn't recommend her enough."
"the fairy godmother of weddings!"
- CHIA, WEDDING AT BEL AIR BAY CLUB
"On our actual wedding day, it was surreal to see everything come together… The day was so perfect and if there were any hiccups or mishaps, we didn't notice a thing. That's why you hire a wedding planner! Holly is an absolute gem and organized the most perfect day we could have ever imagined."
"IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE!"
"If you're reading this, stop, and just hire Holly Gray."
- AMANDA, WEDDING AT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
"Holly is a wonderful blend of qualities that you don't always find together. Seriously, thank God I didn't try to do this on my own. When you hire Holly you get organizational skills and professionalism, and you get access to her team of trusted vendors. The woman knows EVERYONE and is a matchmaker when it comes to pairing you with people she thinks will "get" you."
- Jeff, wedding at REdbird
"Holly took our idea and made it happen. She had everything planned from beginning to end but had the flexibility to adjust as needed. But most importantly, she made us feel loved and supported through this potentially very overwhelming process and kept us engaged and excited to allow us to fully enjoy our special night."
Everything we could have hoped for and SO MUCH MORE!
