Heidi and her husband are still madly in love and best friends after almost 25 years together! They share their lives with too many adorable "furkids". They love hiking in the mountains with their Samoyed dog, Gypsy and walking on the beach, watching Marvel, DC Superheroes, Star Trek, and Star Wars movies (they don't choose sides)!

Our Favorite Person!!!

Book Heidi ASAP!!! It’s hard to think that there could be any better person to officiate a wedding than her. She was such a bright presence on our wedding day, the days leading up to it, and still now, weeks later. She’s prompt and very detail oriented, making sure to get all you & your partners personality into the ceremony. She’s also so very kind and supportive, all our nerves were gone and there was only excitement because of all her advice and encouragement. All our vendors adored her as well as she is an absolute PRO and is literally just the sweetest and most authentic person I’ve met! Truly, I could go on and on about why she’s the best for this job, but long story short- she is love - and that’s what you need in your wedding day. Our ceremony is still my favorite part of our wedding and I cannot wait for the video & photos, she made our dreams come true! 🩵

Heidi is the best!

We are so happy that we chose Heidi as our officiant for our wedding. She blew our expectations out of the water. People were coming up to us after the ceremony asking us how long we had known Heidi because she told our love story so beautifully! Everyone was complimenting us on how fun and romantic our ceremony was, and that it was unlike other weddings they had been to. We loved the ceremony too! She had us both tell her our love story separately in questionnaires before the wedding and it was so fun to find out what my husband had said to her at the altar! It was very sweet. Heidi is super personable and easy to talk to, which put us both at ease as well. She is super professional, but she is also kind. She checked in with us several times before the wedding and I feel like she really got to know us well. She's an expert at what she does! We were also happy because it had been our dream to do a handfasting ceremony, which she was happy to incorporate! It was the most wonderful and perfect ceremony we could have asked for. Heidi is a delight!

Simply put, I really enjoy working with Heidi! I've worked with her since 2006 and have always found her to be upbeat and positive, which really helps with weddings as there can be a certain amount of pressure to make sure everything is as close to perfect as you can get. And that's where Heidi shines: she's calm and even-keeled and she listens to your thoughts, concerns, questions, and addresses them in a manner that helps you to feel calm and less stressed about not only the ceremony, but the whole wedding planning process. Just one call to her and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. She's one of the best!

Heidi from Love Story Vows is an exceptional person, colleague, and professional! I have known Heidi for over 20 years! And it wasn't difficult to choose my wedding officiant for myself and my husband. Heidi was our first choice! And what an amazing ceremony it was! She helped us incorporate our kids, make it unique, and certainly brought laughter and tears to everyone! She helped me stay calm during the planning process. She stayed in touch daily. And she even stayed with us all night to celebrate! Thank you Heidi....so so much!

I have worked with many officiants throughout my time as an event coordinator. Heidi with Love Story Vows has been my favorite. She makes it a priority to cater to the couples every need. She is attentive, kind and professional. You can see how passionate she is about what she does from the first conversation. I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for her services. She and her husband are both very involved in this industry and definitely know what they are doing.
