Heather is an awesome Wedding Coordinator!

Our experience working with Heather was truly great. She brought so much experience and provided excellent service at a great value, all while helping us stay within our budget. Her professionalism stood out from the very beginning, and her positive, easygoing attitude made the entire process stress-free.

Meeting her at the venue the day before for a rehearsal was especially helpful, it ensured everything for the ceremony was organized, clear, and smooth.

Overall, we would definitely recommend Heather and Lucky Penny Events to other couples.

Beyond Expectations

Working with Heather to plan my daughter’s wedding was the best decision we made. We selected her “Beyond Expectations” package for partial planning and she delivered big time, truly exceeding our expectations!
We absolutely could not have pulled off this wedding without Heather, her organization, responsiveness, and calm guidance were invaluable. She recommended amazing vendors, created a detailed timeline, and made sure everything ran seamlessly on the wedding day. I cannot recommend Heather enough. She is a gem!

Best wedding ever!

Heather was truly incredible! Her communication, organization, and warmth made the whole planning process so easy and enjoyable. She listened carefully to our vision and brought it to life perfectly. On our wedding day, she handled every detail flawlessly — even making sure a man in a Speedo didn’t wander into our beach ceremony! She also carved out a few quiet moments just for us, which we’ll never forget. We’re so grateful for her and Madi and can’t recommend Lucky Penny Events enough!

Best choice

We were so grateful to have Heather (and Madi and Alysse) there for us on our wedding day - and the month prior! She was organized, knowledgeable, and engaging. To be honest, after meeting her the first time we actually partially planned our wedding date around when she was available. I knew I wanted to trust our vendors and feel like they brought the best of vibes- and Heather does just that. She had snacks and drinks for us, a fan to cool us down, some updates but never felt overloaded with details, and always always told us how much everyone was enjoying themselves. I’ve heard from many friends and family members that she was “excellent.” It’s sad when your event is over for a lot of reasons, but one of them is not getting to have Heather in our corner anymore. She is also very well connected in the SB wedding industry, which made my vendor team just feel like a fun and cohesive family. We highly recommend!!

Step 1: Hire Lucky Penny. Step 2: Breath a Sigh of Relief.

I can't recommend Lucky Penny Events and owner Heather highly enough - perhaps my very favorite vendor for my wedding!

As a type-A gal who plans events professionally, I was dreading wedding planning before I even started. Heather set me at ease with her calm energy, local knowledge, and practical guidance. She really understood our vision for the day, and what I personally needed to feel comfortable handing off the details.

She and daughter Madi anticipated all of our day-of needs to a T (thank you for making sure I ate our delicious food, had enough water, and could be in the moment, Heather!), and did a great job of communicating with our vendors.

Now I just need to find an excuse to throw another party so we can work with Lucky Penny again soon!!

Perfect Wedding Day!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about the Lucky Penny events team! Heather and Madi were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day coordination. From the moment they stepped in, they handled everything with professionalism, grace, and a calming presence that allowed us to truly enjoy our day without stress. Heather and Madi were always one step ahead of us making sure we ate, had drinks in our hands, followed our timeline, and most importantly we were able to actually enjoy our wedding!!
Their attention to detail was perfect—they made sure every little thing was in place, kept things running smoothly, and handled any last-minute changes seamlessly. We felt completely taken care of, and sour guests even commented on how smoothly everything flowed.
If you’re looking for a team that is organized, communicative, and genuinely invested in making your wedding day perfect, look no further than Lucky Penny. We are so grateful for their hard work and can’t recommend them highly enough!

We were the lucky ones!

Having Lucky Penny take care of everything for our recent wedding was the best decision ever made! Heather helped me through the overwhelming amount of planning and decision-making so much that it was like having your best friend right beside you. Her and daughter Madi handled the event details and coordinating with vendors like pros, and it made our special day stress-free! I will be keeping Heather’s number in my contacts and will not hesitate to have her assist in any future events that I’m sure my new husband and I will be having! Thank you Lucky Penny, love Ann & Joseph 💕
