Your Partners in Party Perfection

Heather founded Van Halen Events after planning her own wedding—yes, she was that bride who turned her passion into a career! However, her Type-A attention to detail and love for event planning had been evident long before that, making the transition into the industry a natural fit.
With nearly a decade of experience, Heather and her team have developed a true passion for crafting unforgettable events. Every celebration is designed to reflect each client’s unique style, with meticulous attention to detail ensuring no element is overlooked.
Based in Colorado but always ready to travel, Van Halen Events has brought client visions to life across the country and internationally. Our philosophy is simple: a great event is only as strong as the team behind it. That’s why Heather is intentional about vendor partnerships, curating recommendations that align with each client’s personality, style, and budget—because the same photographer or DJ isn’t the right fit for everyone.
Through strong industry relationships and a commitment to personalized service, Heather continues to set the standard for thoughtfully executed, one-of-a-kind events.

Collett’s event planning journey began in 2011 at a prestigious private event planning company in Los Angeles, where she mastered the art of upscale celebrations—think lavish weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, high-profile dinners, charity galas, and chic holiday soirées. In 2013, she brought her expertise to Denver, becoming the go-to event coordinator for a high-end French restaurant in the heart of downtown. There, she orchestrated everything from corporate holiday parties and birthday dinners to company gatherings, rehearsal dinners, and weddings.
With years of experience under her belt, Collett has perfected the balance of precision, creativity, and calm professionalism needed to make your day extraordinary. Her meticulous attention to detail, imaginative approach, and uplifting spirit will ensure that every moment is as flawless as you envisioned—and maybe even better!
