Mother of the Bride
Sept. 23, 2009
Heather is wonderful and I can't say enough great things about her. She is
a "soup to nuts" kind of gal. I personally think I am good at planning and
coordinating parties at my home and I am used to handling all of the small
details myself, (and believe me, I am very picky), but I knew I wouldn't be
able to do this for my daughter's destination beach wedding in Lewes, DE
and still be able to enjoy her special day. My daughter lives in Phoenix,
AZ and she asked me early on if I could please help her with her wedding
details and I immediately became overwhelmed with it all. I never hired an
event coordinator so I didn't really know what to expect. Then I met
Heather approximately 1 year prior to our wedding event and I knew
immediately that I could work with her comfortably. Heather is a very down
to earth person and has a very laid-back demeanor, but don't be fooled, she
is extremely experienced and dedicated, has all the contacts, and is a
"worker bee". There isn't any request that Heather cannot and will not
handle. She kept reminding me throughout the year that I was paying her
"to do the worrying and rushing around" and to just let go and put my trust
in her -- it wasn't easy for me, but I finally did and I'm really glad.
Heather did everything -- we even had her purchase 50 mum plants and wrap
all of them in tissue paper and ribbons and haul them around - talk about
labor intensive, but she was happy to do it. When the wedding weekend
finally arrived, Heather made herself available for us from early Friday
morning decorating the reception site, then off to the Friday afternoon
rehearsal at the beach, then back to the reception site Friday night and
Saturday morning to put the final touches on everything, then Saturday
afternoon she was at the beach to meet the rental company and decorate the
beach, picked up the bridal flowers, then returned to the beach to
coordinate everything and greet guests, then take down the props on the
beach and deal with the chair rental pickup, then returned to the reception
Saturday evening to assist with every and anything to late Saturday night
to handle the take down of decorations, and throughout it all she was as
calm and happy as could be and so nice to everyone. She oversaw every step
of the event to the end of the reception and even more. She made herself
available for an entire year, whenever I needed her and the above
description doesn't even cover it all. Believe me when I say that Heather
is worth every penny and then some. Thank you Heather for making my
daughter's dream wedding come true and for the opportunity to get to know
you. I will miss you.
Fondly, Joan Miller
