My husband and I had a backyard wedding this past July. The beauty of a backyard wedding is the freedom it allows you, however, this can also be the downside. Every piece needed to be orchestrated by us. Therefore, as soon as we made the decision to have the wedding in the backyard, we knew we needed/wanted a wedding planner. We found Bridget/Heirloom Events and knew she would be a perfect fit for us. We hired her for the “Event Management” package, meaning she helped guide us during the planning process, gave wonderful recommendations for vendors, created timelines, and fully coordinated on the wedding day. We had several meetings throughout the planning process with her. She was supportive, non-pushy, knowledgeable, organized, calm, and just all around lovely to work with. We dealt with postponing our wedding a year with her and she reassured us every step of the way that it would all be manageable to do. Bridget has a special ability to sense a couple’s needs, vibe, approach (whatever word you choose to use) and she fully adapts to that.
Bridget and her assistant Liv were invaluable on the wedding day. They wore every hat at our wedding – they kept the flow of the wedding moving in a timely manner, ushered guests, moved furniture, worked with vendors, spruced trains, scooped ice cream, cleaned up, and poured champagne. During the hustle and bustle of the hours leading up to the wedding, our puppy decided to eat a sock and then proceed to throw it up right before I walked down the aisle. Liv quietly cleaned it up and checked on her countless times, all without me knowing so I wouldn’t worry. I am certain there are about a million other things that they did that I am not even aware of. They both made us feel so special and so well taken care of so we could just enjoy the day. I recommend Heirloom Events to any couple planning their wedding, they are simply amazing!
Also, book Sweet B’s Ice Cream Cart. The ice cream is DELICIOUS, and the cart is incredibly cute – it added so much to the reception. It provided such a fun activity that our guests adored.

Choosing Bridget to help us out with our wedding day was the best decision we made! If you are undecided about hiring a planner/coordinator, believe me- An Heirloom Event will give you the wedding of your dreams! Me and my husband still cannot stop talking about how amazing our wedding was, and how much fun we had. The amount of stress she took off of us during the planning process and by making sure our wedding went smoothly was a godsend. We cannot thank Bridget enough for all of her hard work (she literally took care of moving 180 ceremony chairs after a vendor mishap!) and it was so nice as a bride to not have to deal with answering dozens of phone calls and combing through contacts leading up to the wedding. Could not have had the wonderful day we did without her- thank you!

Bridget was amazing to have On my wedding day! She coordinated everything smoothly and only asked me two questions throughout the day. She handled everything with such a cool and calm attitude. Not only was she a huge help day of but she answered all of my annoying bride questions the 9 months leading up to the day. She helped me save money when things went wrong and let me know the ins and outs of choosing certain vendors. She knows her stuff but what I liked most is her demeanor. She doesn’t add unnecessary stress to the day. She is prepared and can handle the unexpected (that always happens no matter how much you plan). She is amazing and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else in the area!
