Our Story
Our Mission
We’re event industry folks that got frustrated with the outdated grind of contracts, invoices, and payments. We tried for years to find a product that could help us streamline our workflows and weren’t satisfied with anything out there. So in a mission to spend more time on what’s important...
meeting and dreaming with clients ~ collaborating with vendors ~ spending time with our families
We threw our hearts into this project in the hopes it would add some time back in our days. We are so proud of what evolved and hope it’s a game changer for you and your business as well. Please visit our Price Tag page for plan details.
Our Team
We want to revolutionize how couples and event professionals collaborate through an efficient, user-focused digital platform.
A Portland native and founder of Bridal Bliss, INC, Nora is an expert in all things wedding and is the definition of a boss babe. Born to Iraqi immigrants, she was raised in a culture of over the top celebrations and from her beginnings, event planning was in her blood. While leading a team of 30 women who produce upwards of 150 weddings and events each year, Nora noticed a gap in the planning industry and developed Rock Paper Coin, a forum that brings together event professionals and couples to streamline the often daunting contract and invoice process.
When she isn’t busy running Bridal Bliss and Rock Paper Coin, you can find her spending time with her husband and two rambunctious boys, Dylan and Gavin, traveling, grooving through a sweaty spin session, adding sparkle to just about anything, or having a long family-style dinner with her nearest and dearest.

Kelly is no stranger to events – or technology! She was born and raised in Oregon, but discovered her love for events in Arizona where she served as in-house Event Planner for a 12,000-resident community. In 2015, she decided to switch-it-up and went to work for a high-growth, fast-paced digital marketing company in Bend, OR. There, she honed her skills in marketing strategy and helped her clients navigate the ever-changing digital world.
Kelly is thrilled to have made her way to Portland with her Golden Retriever, Wylie, to explore all the "weird" (and incredible!) things the city has to offer. Kelly is a BIG fan of the Bachelor – she’s been watching since the beginning in 2002 – and has an obsession with Dairy Queen blizzards. She is excited to combine her passion for events with her expertise in the technical space and believes Rock Paper Coin is the tool for vendors and clients.

Our Commitment
We believe events can be beautiful and viable. That's why we work with third party vendors committed to recycling solutions and sustainability. And, here at RPC, we’ve gone paperless–because who doesn’t love the ease of an e-signature and a digital payment? Cheers to saving a tree, one event at a time.
