Heidi has been working in the event industry for over 20 years and coordinating since 2009. She is there to help you make the transition from planning your wedding to the organic unfolding of your big day! She enjoys all the wonderful details and moments that occur throughout the celebration and loves playing a small part in helping them come together. In addition to coordinating, her background is as a fine arts photographer which includes shooting weddings. With Heidi’s aesthetic sense and professional experience you’ll be assured that not only will your event run smoothly but that it will look beautiful as well.

Here’s a recent testimonial:

Heidi was an absolute life-saver as the month-of wedding planner for our 160 person Carmel Valley wedding. She thought of (literally) everything, was communicative and prompt, and made the day come together seamlessly. More than that, she was a sweet and kind person to have around! Unlike other planners who work with different clients every week, Heidi really went out of her way to give us her undivided attention. We didn’t want that “wedding factory” feel and were so grateful to have someone who took the time to make sure everything was what we actually wanted, and who managed to keep our complicated and diverse set of vendors organized and happy! I would recommend Heidi to anyone who wants a beautiful, stress-free wedding!
