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We’re event industry folks that got frustrated with the outdated grind of contracts, invoices, and payments.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.

Valerie stepped into the wedding planning scene in 2005 when Nora planned the wedding for her nuptials to husband, Ken. With years of experience in the business world, she is no stranger to the role of a leader. Valerie is the Co-owner and CFO of Hydro-Temp Mechanical, Inc. In planning her own wedding and numerous corporate events with Nora the past 13 years, Valerie too saw a need in the industry for a better way to serve couples in the process of signing contracts and paying invoices. Together with Nora and Elizabeth, these women came up with the love child that is Rock Paper Coin.
When she’s not running a company or dreaming up a new one, you can find Valerie spending time with her husband and family, cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers, traveling the world, or curled up reading a good book next to her cat, Yoda.

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.

Originally from Southern California, Elly has lived in a variety of locales along the Pacific, from Mexico City to San Francisco to Portland. In college, he decided to explore his creative side and attained a degree in Graphic Design. Shortly thereafter, he combined his enjoyment of art with his enthusiasm for science and math by learning to code.
When he is not programming, he can usually be found baking crusty sourdough bread, playing a board game, shooting hoops at a local park, or spending time appreciating the crafts, beer and otherwise, of PDX specialists

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.
