TELLING YOUR STORY

With over 25 years of experience in event planning and a storyteller at heart, I bring creativity and passion to every wedding I design. I’ve written and directed several award-winning short films, and I see each wedding as another opportunity to tell a unique and meaningful story. As a mother of two accomplished daughters—one an actor and the other a dedicated high school teacher—I’ve learned the beauty of balancing dreams with precision, much like the weddings I create.
Focused on every unique detail, I’m committed to making your wedding planning process not just a series of tasks, but an extension of the joy and excitement of your engagement. Together, we’ll craft a celebration that reflects your journey and sets the tone for your future life. Let’s make your big day unforgettable, one beautiful moment at a time!

What People Are Saying

“How amazing and beautiful and fun and perfect and flawless it was and how none of it would have been possible without Heather”
— Kimberly P.

“Heather was absolutely incredible! 
Her creativity transformed our venue into a magical reflection of our relationship. We initially worried about the cost, but looking back, we wish we had invested more in her team 
and less on the overcooked chicken! 
She used her sense of humor to diffuse tense situations
 and kept my mother-in-law calm with constant
 white wine refills. What more could we ask for? 
Honestly, if my current marriage falls through, 
the silver lining would be hiring her again!”
— Keith M.

“When we first got engaged, we knew we needed help 
to bring our vision and dreams to life. 
Heather was professional, kind, and efficient
 throughout our wedding planning process. 
She went far beyond her role and was a major reason
 our big day went so smoothly. 
If you’re looking for someone to plan your big day
 and make your dreams come true, 
Heather is the one to book!”
