βHeather understood me better than i understood myselfβ
Heather was the first and best decision I ever made for my wedding. I canβt describe how much I appreciate her! She understood me better than I understood myself. Not only did she help me execute my vision, she helped me create it. And when things went haywire because of an unexpected rainstorm, she handled it all and created something even more beautiful than the original plan. I chose her because I needed someone to calm the storm, and she was that and so much more! Her professionalism, calm presence, and attention to every detail made all the difference. I truly canβt describe how much I appreciate her - she took care of absolutely everything, and I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.
Bride, Dana H.
βsuch a pleasure to work withβ
Heather helped create what ended up being one of the best days of my life. She was such a pleasure to work with the whole way through. Heather was a source of encouragement, experience, confidence and calmness in a long planning process. Every vendor performed excellently and I am thankful for her great recommendations. I was blown away by the beauty and fulfillment that the day brought. Everything was perfect.
