YOUR Time Back:
We handle the 400+ hours it takes to plan a one-of-a-kind wedding, so you don’t have to.
Clarity + Confidence:
We help you focus on what you want — from the big vision and logistics to all the meaningful little moments.
Joy in the Journey:
This is your time. We make sure you enjoy the ride and the celebration knowing you have a professional on your side.
At Anything But Gray Events, we believe in doing things thoroughly and thoughtfully — and that means we don’t offer “day-of” wedding coordination.
While the term gets tossed around on wedding blogs and Pinterest boards, the truth is: there’s no such thing as planning a seamless wedding in a single day.
Trust us — if it were that easy, we'd all be sipping champagne by noon.
Executing a wedding flawlessly requires dedicated prep, communication, timeline building, vendor collaboration, planning, and more.
If you’re looking for someone to just show up and “wing it,” we’re probably not the right fit — and that’s okay! But if you want a true partner in the process who cares as much about the details as you do, welcome to the colorful side.
Wedding Planning & Design combines intentional logistics with elevated design to create an immersive, emotionally rich experience. It’s more than timelines and to-do lists — it’s crafting a cohesive aesthetic that reflects your personality, tells your story, and brings your celebration to life with style and purpose.
because inequality
& hate suck.
At Anything But Gray Events, love is never one-size-fits-all — and your wedding shouldn’t be either.
We proudly celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, support Black Lives Matter, and champion diversity in every form. That means partnering with inclusive vendors, designing with intention, and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and safe.
Whether your wedding has a bride, a groom, both, or neither — what matters most is the love at the center of it. And that love? Deserves to be celebrated boldly.
I’m honored to be an Equally Wed Certified Inclusive + Preferred Vendor and the Best LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Wedding Planner/Coordinator Award Winner. But beyond the badges and titles, this is just who we are.
All love is safe here.
- 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!
