    I don't even know where to start. I can't even begin to say how grateful I was to have Emily plan my wedding. At first my mom was skeptical of hiring a planner but Emily was wonderful and worked out a package that meet our needs and helped us stay within our budget. It was the best decision we made through the entire wedding process. We would have never found many of our vendors had it not been through Emily and I truly believe she paid for herself with the savings she found and provided us through her connection and relationship with other vendors. She is an amazing advocate for her clients and handles everything with patience and incredible grace. Every person in my family who meet her just couldn't help but love her. I will be recommending Emily to anyone who will listen to me :).

    As out of town clients, it was very important for my husband and I to find reliable, professional wedding planning services. We found exactly that and so much more with Emily and Michelle! Our wedding was amazing and we have Your Heart's Desire to thank. I would recommend that you use them for your event of special day!

    Outstanding,irreplacable,completely served us above and beyond our expectations.
    We only saw a fraction of the work this vendor provided for us. That means that she kept things flowing so smoothly that I hardly felt a ripple of what went on to make my daughter's wedding lovely and perfect.
    Both the bride and her Dad were undergoing cancer treatment during our year of wedding planning and that should have/could have meant extreme stress for me as MOB. Instead I was able to enjoy myself and be creative with all the little details.
    YHD found us fantastic vendors that fit our needs perfectly. They were able to capture our style and made suggestions which were really appreciated. They were a calming voice to my nervous daughter.
    One thing that stands out to me was how Emily showed my daughter a comparison of a few vendors and the prices. She showed her exactly what we needed to expect if we were paying the amount we had budgeted for that vendor. This helped us choose wisely! This also meant that we allowed more for certain things and were able to go a less costly route on others but always felt we were getting what we wanted.

    Emily Edwards and Your Heart's Desire are, without a doubt, what made our wedding perfect. From the moment we hired Emily, the experience of planning our wedding became completely stress-free. She connected us with the best vendors around, and in many cases vendors we never would have found if it weren't for her recommendations. She was able to negotiate great contract prices on our behalf, and in the end I believe we ended up SAVING money thanks to her excellent relationships with various vendors (they all ADORE her!). She put my parents at ease about the prospect of throwing a reception in their backyard, and handled everything completely professionally.

    On the day of our wedding, Emily ran everything with perfect precision, but also great kindness and humor. Her detailed timeline kept everything moving on schedule, and she knew where every moving part was supposed to be and when. It literally could not have gone better, and Emily deserves 100% of the credit for that.

    The best thing about Emily, though, is that she is just the nicest person you could ever want to meet. I didn't anticipate that I would just LOVE my wedding planner for the beautiful person that she was, but that is exactly what happened with Emily. She's so genuine, funny, and wonderful that you'll want to throw another party just so you can keep working with her. We love you, Em, and we'll never forget you and all you did for us!!

    Michelle Scarzone from Your Heart's Desire is a wedding fairy disguised as a human! She made the impossible happen to make my wedding day the best day of my life. I accidentally locked my veil in the church and forgot to take it to the salon - she worked with the church to send someone to open the door so my veil could be retrieved! She took care of all of the vendor contracts and kindly reminded us to pay them. She also took time to get to know my (then) fiancee and I to understand what our needs, wants and style were. I highly recommend Your Heart's Desire!

    Our first meeting with Emily and Michelle left us with a feeling of confidence and relief that we would be in good hands. Our experience with YHD was beyond our expectations. We found them to be very professional with great leadership abilities and direction. It was clear they were there to make sure we received the results that were so important for this special day. Any task we brought to them was welcomed, and they would go out of their way to make it happen. Anytime we had a question, they were immediately there to answer, and took as much time as we felt we needed. They were always available to contact, and that was so appreciated. I cannot count the times that they researched costs and came back to us with savings that we would not have realized without them. Truly an amazing group to work with. But beyond that, Emily and Michelle are just wonderful great people that we enjoyed getting to know.They helped create the wedding our daughter had always dreamed of, and we will be forever thankful.

    Emily was the best money we spent on our wedding. We had a lot of logistical items that needed to be coordinated and Emily did everything to make the day perfect. I didn't have to worry about loose ends and Emily made sure the little details didn't get passed over in the chaos of planning a wedding. She caught our vision and followed through on everything. She even found ways to save us money using trusted vendors that I wouldn't have known about if it had not been for her experience. She really knows the ropes when it comes to weddings and I cannot say enough good things about her. I felt like I could truly enjoy the day because Emily made sure I didn't have anything to worry about.

    I cannot say enough about Emily Edwards. Brides, and mothers of brides, look no further! Emily is truly outstanding in the work she does. Her prices are very fair. Her professionalism and ability to handle anything is amazing. She is so flexible and willing to listen to what you want and work within your budget. And, maybe most importantly, she is easy to get ahold of. She is extremely prompt at returning calls and emails. She made our daughter's wedding the perfect day! We had a backyard reception and she transformed our yard into the most beautiful and lovely venue! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Emily. We felt that she was not only professional but also became a friend of our family.

    Working with Emily put me at such ease during the more stressful parts of wedding planning. After she got on board, I was able to relinquish responsibility of coordinating close to the wedding and focus on getting excited for the big day. I was also able to really enjoy my wedding day knowing that Emily would be "on top of" any issue that might arise.

    Emily made our wedding day absolutely perfect! It's such a stressful day for a bride but with Emily, all we had to do was show up and she orchestrated everything...scheduling, vendors, musicians, guests...everything was managed perfectly. With Emily, our wedding day was worry-free...all a bride can ask for!

    My wife and I interviewed several wedding coordinators to help us out with our wedding. At the time we were both finishing up college and living in a different part of the state. We decided to use Emily with Your Heart's Desire due to her organization and flexibility that she had to offer us. She allowed us to pick and choose what services we were looking for to make our wedding day easier on ourselves and our families. Over the planning period we received constant updates and worked with an easy schedule for meetings and payments. Emily made our wedding day easy and stress free allowing us to have fun and not worry about little details. Barbara and I recommend Your Heart's Desire to anyone looking for the perfect wedding day.

    We hired Emily of Your Heart’s Desire for the week of and day of the wedding. She not only fulfilled those requests, but also made herself available for questions and thoughts in the weeks leading up to wedding day. We were all able to relax and enjoy the wedding knowing that all the big and small details were covered. Emily is a great organizer and knows weddings well!

    The best advice we received when our daughter became engaged was from a friend who encouraged us to hire a wedding planner and our best decision was to hire Emily Edwards! Emily is incredibly gifted and possesses such amazing insight, grace and professionalism. The quality of service, vendor discounts and the time-savings more than covered her fee. Our daughter's wedding was absolutely beautiful and enjoyable because of Emily. Life is certainly unpredictable and during the year leading up to the wedding, our family experienced one emergency after another which caused a tremendous amount of stress. Emily was so organized and kept us on track and without her understanding and support, there is no way our daughter's wedding would have been as lovely as it was.

    Emily was amazing! We had both a Hindu wedding & a civil American one in the same day. She did all the research for the Hindu one & wound up knowing more than I did! We planned for a year & a half and are out of state. She went with us to all the meetings and made them fit into our short trips home. She made sure I was involved in all the decisions (I wanted to be) and then took care of all the background stuff. We had some small things go wrong the day of the wedding, but I didn’t even know about some of them until the next day. She handled all the wedding events (golf, rehearsal dinner & brunch) and they were all fantastic. We got tons of compliments on how fantastic our wedding was and wouldn’t have been without her!

    I used Emily to plan my wedding in 2009 and it was fabulous. She was wonderful to work with and our wedding was perfect. She attended all the vendor meetings and walked us through the entire process of securing vendors and with all the little details. The day of a few things went wrong, but I didn't know anything about them until the next day. Everything was handled without me having to worry about it. Our wedding was complicated since we had 2 ceremonies in the same day & Emily made sure it flowed for both us & our guests. She even did the bulk of our program explaining our Hindu ceremony...I think she knew more about it than I did!

    About a year later I threw a surprise 75th birthday party for my mom and again hired Emily (and Michelle who had joined her!) to help with the party. It was amazing & everyone had a great time. She was able to get us the location we wanted for a great price. We also did a "newspaper" about my mom's life and Emily spent almost an entire night on the phone with me getting the layout & editing done. She went above & beyond on that one!

    If I'm ever doing another big event again, I won't hesitate to call her!

    My niece got married two years ago. Her best piece of advice (and she had a LOT of GOOD advice) was "get a coordinator"! We asked Emily to help us with "day of" coordination, but she was there for us long before. She knows how to listen and looked to ensure our dreams were fulfulled, offering support and suggestions when we didn't know what could be done nor how to do it. In the beginning she worked with us on budget, reviewed contracts before we signed them, and when we drew a blank suggested vendors. She really made that last week before the event easy. Drew up timelines for everyone (participants, vendors ...) coordinated the rehearsal, took care of all the vendor interfaces and in general let me sleep nights. She really worked the magic of "no worries." Emily is an outstanding professional and warm and easy to work with

    Emily Edwards of Your Heart's Desire was incredible. We live out of country and she was suggested to us from a waiter in scottsdale. She is the reason our wedding was above and beyond what we could of imagined! Emily is professional, caring, imaginitive and organized. I can not say enough about her!

    Since I am not a woman who has dreamt about my wedding day since I was a little girl I gave myself a year to do all of the planning, but I knew I was in over my head. My mother and I went to a bridal show and met Emily who made quite an impression with her organization and outgoing personality. My fiance and I met her for a consultation and were immediately impressed with all of her great ideas for our small fall wedding.

    After visiting numerous venues I was afraid we'd never find "the one". Emily then showed us the perfect place and went to work without overwhelming me with all of the decisions. She gave me a timeline and worked around my demanding job schedule so we could talk with vendors.

    Then all of a sudden it was the day of the wedding. Somehow Emily worked like magic to keep me calm and took care of all of the details to make sure our wedding was the most special night of our lives. Emily was great with all of our family and friends making them feel like the special guests that they were. All of our guests are still talking about how it was the "wedding of the century". She impressed our guests and families with her graciousness and organization.

    Thank you Emily for giving us such a wonderful and special wedding day. I would recommend Emily to anyone and everyone, especially those who have an idea but no clue as to how to make it come true. Thank you for helping this bride go from dreading her wedding to having incredible and special memories, it wouldn?t have happened without you!

    Emily was a blessing throughout our whole planning process! It was such a help having an expert opinion on all the different aspects of the ceremony and reception. We were able to plan our wedding in less than 6 months and it couldn't have turned out better. Her connections with quality vendors save you time and money, and her coordination on the day of the wedding allows you and your family to relax and enjoy the day.

    Emily was worth her weight in "more than" gold! She is the one who made our dream wedding happen.. a truly memorable event not just for us, but for all our guests. She surpassed our expectations in turning our vision for a customized vow renewal into a reality. Her commitment made us feel like we were always her only client. Emily has the assertiveness, the passion and the absolute professionalism to make any wedding a successful journey. We were able to relax and enjoy knowing we had a competent consultant paying attention to all the details for us! Thank you, Emily for your big smiles..for everything!

    Emily, the owner of Your Heart's Desire Wedding Consulting, is exceptional. Perhaps, the best money I have ever spent for a service, especially on my wedding. She is professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. We were impressed with her timeliness, attention to detail, and her special talent for colors, flowers, and her choosing of vendors such as catering and the DJ. The atmosphere at our reception is something we will never forget. The music was great, the food even better, and the wedding cake was, well, I can't wait till our first aniversary to try it again. The flowers, linens, lighting, and centerpieces were our favorite, such an exceptional blend of colors, and classy, yes classy. We are so happy that we had the opportunity to find Emily, because SHE made our wedding special. We will never forget you Em. You rock!

    Our warmest regards,
    Tom and Carrie Wiehn

    We would recommend Emily to help you coordinate any and all of your wedding events! We didn’t know where to begin. We had seven months to plan a wedding for 250 guests, during the busiest time of the wedding season. Emily conducted a professional interview to find out what we envisioned for our wedding day and what our estimated budget was going to be. From that moment on, we knew we were in good hands.

    Emily scheduled several tours to help us select a venue, arranged all of our vendor interviews and helped us make detailed decisions for every aspect of our wedding. She answered all of our questions and offered her expertise. She also negotiated contracts with our vendors and arranged additional wedding events at our request: engagement photo session, pre-marital counseling, and the rehearsal dinner.

    Emily handled every detail of the wedding day with professionalism and a smile. From locating and picking up missing tuxedo shoes, to overseeing the setup of the garden ceremony, cocktail reception, and formal dinner reception. All we had to worry about was getting ready!!

    We can not thank Emily enough for making our wedding day perfect! It was truly amazing!! We would have never believed that we could actually savor each moment and not have to worry about anything else. This was the wedding of our dreams!! We have received so many compliments from our family and friends and we will cherish these memories for rest of our lives.
