Thank you!!!

I can't emphasize enough how helpful Heather was in the weeks leading up to our wedding! Originally, my partner and I planned to tackle all of the planning ourselves and to only hire a day-of coordinator for our event. However, as an anxious planner myself, I am SO glad we had Heather to help in the weeks leading up to our event. My partner and I were truly able to enjoy the lead-up and the big day because we knew Heather had everything covered. She helped us bring our vision to life and was a logistical genius when it came to coordinating our vendors and the event timeline. Everything came together perfectly and the day went so smoothly - all thanks to Heather's meticulous planning and attention to detail. We are still amazed at how everything came together for our day better than we could have hoped. Heather was such a huge and helpful part of the wedding planning process for us, and we can't recommend her enough!

Why would you plan a wedding without Heather??

Heather with Paisley and Pearl events was essential to the success of my daughter’s wedding day! I cannot imagine having gone through this planning without having a month of coordinator! Heather was easily reached, very responsive to our questions, and one step ahead of everything that needed to be done! She truly cared that the day turned out to be exactly what my daughter wanted. She worked hard to listen carefully and then executed the plan! She was also fun to work with and always ready with a smile and a positive attitude!
