Heather, she is a truly a wonderful person and she does an astonishing job! She helped me in so many ways to ensure we had a beautiful wedding! She facilitated monthly checklist, had several check-in calls with me and an in-person walk thru at the venue, were all extremely important to ensure all the details of our wedding day were covered. Heather came to help us set up the venue her assistances was so valuable. The day of the wedding, Heather’s attention to detail truly made our wedding run so smoothly and her professionalism was remarkable. I am faithfully pleased we hired Heather for our wedding day! Thank you!

Phenomenal wedding planner!
Heather was an exceptional full service wedding planner! I had Heather as a wedding coordinator and event designer 18 months prior to my wedding. With expecting baby number 1 to baby number 2, she was able to quickly adapt to meet our needs for the wedding. From beginning to end, Heather was patient and professional even after rescheduling the wedding to a future date. She made our wedding glamorous with her creativity and professional abilities. With her full wedding coordination we were able to get the best vendors for my wedding. Overall, Heather’s service was phenomenal. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

A great and supportive planner
I started working with Heather almost 18 months before my wedding. We had planning meetings every 3 weeks from the time we signed contracts up through my wedding day. Heather was great at keeping me on track and making sure things were done on time, and I greatly appreciated her two cents on the vendors we discussed working with. She was very honest and generous about her experiences working with vendors in the past, which helped me make decisions based on my goals for our event. She was very organized and on top of things at my wedding, to the point where my bridesmaids would go to Heather for things instead of me (which helped make my day way more relaxing from an event management perspective). Would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a planner to help keep them on track and guide vendor selection decisions, and anyone looking to be able to 100% trust someone during the event to handle all the details!

Professional, Warm, and Organized!
Having Divine and Elegant Events owner Heather as our day of coordinator was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. Heather was professional, warm, and organized allowing us to enjoy the day and the whole planning process. We highly recommend her!

Incredible Planner and LIFE SAVER
I found Heather only a couple months shy of my wedding. I had all the big things like vendors figured out, but was really struggling with pulling my vision together. After my first Zoom meeting with Heather I had a huge wave of relief. She not only pulled this off within two months of working with me, but truly took care of me by keeping everyone organized. I had some health issues leading up to my wedding and she really just took charge in the last 2 weeks while I recovered. I can't put into words the kind of relief it was knowing she was in charge and seeing my vision come to life better than my expectations. I truly look back on my day and loved every moment, and I owe it to her. She had to deal with some tough personalities as well and took it in stride while remaining pleasant and professional. If you're wondering if you need a planner, EVERYONE needs a Heather.

Thank you Heather for your coordination!
Heather was amazing an amazing wedding coordinator to work with for our wedding last month! She is thoughtful, attentive, responsive, organized, and detail oriented. She cares about making your wedding vision come true! Right after consultation with Heather, we knew we wanted her wedding planning, coordinating and decorating expertise to make our wedding event happen. You get a lot without breaking the bank. Heather had worked at our venue before and provided great support in communicating with the venue owner regarding any inquiries that we had. Throughout the planning check-in process, she provided us benchmarks to meet with tons of planning resource documents to help us plan our event. She provided decorations for our reception space, which turned out lovely. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding/day-of coordinator experience to make sure our 100+ guest wedding was well taken care of. I am thrilled to say everything came together nicely in such a hectic, overwhelming day for us as the bride and groom. Please support her business and hire her today for your wedding! VERY BIG THANKS Heather! Best, Jeanie & Michael

Heather is Fantastic to Work With!
Heather was absolutely invaluable in helping plan our wedding. With Covid forcing us to switch dates and plans multiple times, we would have been completely lost without her help and guidance. Her attention to detail helped ensure that we stayed on schedule with all of our planning, and her personal touch and friendly demeanor helped take some of the stress out of the process. No matter what time of the day we needed to reach her, she was always available and happy to assist with whatever issue we had encountered. Likewise, her resourcefulness and ability to draw from her network of vendors ensured that every aspect of our wedding was taken care of. It is abundantly clear that she truly cares about her clients and treats them as friends. We are so thankful that we hired her and cannot imagine how we would have pulled off such an amazing wedding without her.
