Sedona Cake Couture	I love working with Emily. She is an both calm and organized - yet her ideas are over the top! Highly recommend Your Heart's Desire.
Arizona Ministers - Statewide Services	When every detail matters, you can count on YHD to organize, lead and present a perfect event.
Shoot Retouch Design	I had the pleasure of working with Emily at a recent destination wedding in Phoenix, Arizona. From the moment I spoke to Emily on the phone leading up to the event, I knew that everything was going to run perfectly. She really valued and took into consideration not only the couples wishes, but worked with my recommendations to ensure my couples photography wishes were fulfilled and she also worked with the entire team of vendors to ensure a seamless schedule of events. She not only superbly executed the prior planning and day of schedule, she was a pleasure to work with, a true professional and a new found friend. Emily is super friendly, a genuine pleasure to be around and has an impeccable attention to detail and would be an asset to any couple looking to hire planning services for their event.
Tylers Custom Designs	Emily Edwards is a god send . Each and every event I have done with her has turn out perfect. She pays close attention to detail and her couples needs. She also takes the extra steps to be sure each and every vendor is cared for and has all they need. I would refer Emily to anyone and have many times. Karen Tyler
Melissa Jill Photography	Working with Emily Edwards has been an absolute delight. From the minute I met her we clicked and I felt drawn to her. She is extremely genuine, easy to talk to and willing to go the extra mile for her clients and vendors. She is the only consultant I have worked with who attends all of her client's meetings with them and I always enjoy her support and expertise when she is here. Emily is extremely professional and works as a team with all the vendors to make each event a success. I would recommend her without hesitation to any of my brides!

Q: What makes you different from other bridal consultants/wedding planners?
A: Emily Edwards respects and admires many of her peers in this industry.  However, what sets her apart is something that is hard to define. It is a combination of her skills, personality, experience, price and professionalism that make her services such an incredible value.

Emily feels very strongly that every bride needs and deserves a wedding consultant, but at the same time she understands that she is not the right fit for everyone.  Because of this, Emily encourages you to meet with multiple consultants before making your decision.  It is important that the consultant understands your vision and meshes well with your personality.

Of course my advice would be to hire a wedding consultant!  ...but you knew that’s what I would say!

But I don’t just say that so you will hire me.  I truly believe that it is important to hire a wedding consultant so that you can sit back and enjoy the planning process.  Your wedding day is not just about that one day, but an entire series of moments that you will look back on and remember fondly, not with anxiety.

I encourage you to meet with multiple consultants to find out who you connect with best.

All of the vendors you hire are important to the success of your day and it is important to hire them based on the quality of their work and the affordability of their prices.  But there are two vendors in particular where their personality is a huge factor.  That is your photographer and your wedding consultant.

Selecting a photographer is a 3-fold decision, with each factor carrying as much weight as the next:  Do you like their work?; Can you afford their pricing?; and DO YOU GET ALONG WITH THEM?!?  It really doesn’t matter if you can afford your photographer and like their work if they get on your nerves!  That look on your face will come through in your photos and that is not how you want to remember your day.

Your wedding consultant will be the vendor you work with the most often of all of your vendors.  You need to feel a connection with them.  You need to know they understand you and your family.  This is such a crucial element in making your decision.

I tell everyone I meet with, if you don’t hire me - hire someone!  I am not the consultant for everyone, and it’s a good thing I’m not, because their are thousands of weddings in the valley each year and there is no way I could do them all.

Do your research and make wise decisions.  Follow your instincts.  Your wedding day is not something you want to look back on and feel like you "settled."

Call today for your free consultation!  I can’t wait to meet you!
