Amazing service, amazing people!

Hands down the best money we could have spent on our wedding weekend! Heather and her team seriously take care of everything and truly allow you and your groom/family/friends just show up and enjoy the weekend. After all that planning, who wants to stress during the actual events? NOT ME! If anything went wrong, I had no clue, the CED team took care of it. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and a great resource for any question or decision we had to make along the way. They always went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and exactly how I'd imagine it to be! Not only would I recommend/strongly suggest them for wedding planning, but any important event I would highly recommend! They are truly the best! :)

I will always remember my 9 months planning with Heather from CED. When Heather and I met for the first time to go over initial plans and vendors, she answered any questions and talked through any reservations I may have had. She always made sure to remind me that this was MY wedding and developed a design through our conversations, our senses of style, and a shared Pinterest board. As the weeks and months went on, Heather guided me through the planning process by setting up meetings with venders, giving me monthly to-do lists to keep me on track, and keeping all lines of communication open.While many brides get to the point when they can't wait for the planning to be over, Heather created a wedding planning experience that I never wanted to end. Heather really made me feel like a top priority. She would text with me late at night when I was tossing and turning over how I wanted my hair, scheduled her day around my 5 minute alterations appointment so I wouldn't be alone, and expressed such genuine excitement building up to wedding day. On my wedding week, there were forecasts for rain, and Heather immediately had a plan A, B, and C lined up for any weather scenario. While Mother Nature kept playing mind games with us, Heather always reassured us that the wedding would be beautiful no matter what plan had to be used. Now to talk about my wedding day. It is a day I can only describe as magical. Every vendor Heather recommended was incredible and went above and beyond all expectations. Getting ready felt like a spa day, with Heather constantly checking in and giving me little sneak peaks of what was being set up in the reception space. It was a dream I could have never dreamed up on my own. Not just for me, but for my husband, my family, and everyone in attendance.Heather was the perfect wedding planner and will always be a friend. Heather created magic that day; magic that I would wish upon any bride.

We love working with Heather and the whole CED team! They are so thorough and organized right down to the smallest detail. We have filmed many CED weddings and I always love filming the bride and groom's reaction during the "big reveal"; when they finally get to see their event come to life!
