Choose Heather!

Hiring Heather was hands-down the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding, second only to choosing each other. I interviewed several candidates when searching for a coordinator, and from the start, Heather stood out for her warmth, personableness, and incredible professionalism. I am so grateful that I chose her and got to have her on my side while planning and hosting the biggest event of my life. Leading up to the big day, I was a ball of nerves. But once we hit the rehearsal, I felt completely at ease knowing Heather was in charge.

Throughout our wedding day, we kept saying how we couldn’t have made it without Heather. She was everywhere, handling everything with grace, precision, and calm. When a few vendors hit snags, Heather handled it instantly and flawlessly, ensuring we could be present and enjoy ourselves on our big day. If I so much as tried to lift a finger when issues arose, she’d gently take over and make quick work of it. It’s no exaggeration to say she was the glue that held our entire day together, and here are a few specific examples of where she went above and beyond:
- Had the photography shot list printed and ready to go (when the photographer didn't even do this!)
- Personally brought us a few of each appetizer so we didn't miss any!
- Stepped in to watch the kids for my sister-in-law so she could watch the ceremony
- Recommended us an awesome officiant
- (Probably so many other things we didn't see or will come to learn by talking with guests)

Everyone who interacted with Heather, even briefly, was blown away. So many people shared how impressed they were by her and how she outperformed their own wedding coordinators. After attending several weddings this past year, I can confidently say Heather is in a league of her own. Even now, six months later, Heather’s name still comes up whenever our wedding is mentioned. Friends and family have told us that hiring her is one of the first things they plan to do after getting engaged. That’s the kind of lasting impression she leaves.

Whatever Heather charges, she’s worth double. If you’re on the fence—don’t be. HIRE HEATHER. You’ll be so glad you did.

Hire Heather now, she's amazing!

I cannot recommend Heather with When Hearts Unite enough! I came to her as a bride who had just battled firing a past planner and Heather was kind, understanding, and honest. Her and I clicked instantly and it was only up from there. She was SO responsive and communicative and even caught issues that I thought had been solved by my past planner. She’s thorough, logistics minded, and has an amazing eye for design and knew exactly how to bring my vision to life. So many of my friends and family came to me after the wedding and talked about how amazing she was the day of too. Heather and I’s paths crossing got me through the last few months of planning with such a peace that I will never be able to thank her for. Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately!

Best Coordinator Ever!!

We can't recommend Heather enough! She was the most wonderful wedding coordinator. From the beginning, she kept us organized and sane. She was great about communicating with us and our vendors. She created our timeline and helped us with details that would make sense logistically and meet our vision. Leading up to the day, we had a few *surprises* pop up, but she handled everything seamlessly and eased our worries. On the day of, she was amazing! She worked on a ton of the decorations, which looked beautiful. She managed the timeline, made sure everyone was where they needed to be, and just having her there made us feel less stressed! We got so many comments on how beautiful the wedding was and how smoothly everything flowed! Heather was professional, responsive, supportive, and so organized. You definitely want the most stress-free, fun day for your wedding- do yourself a huge favor and hire Heather. You won't regret it!

The BEST coordinator!!

Words cannot express how much we appreciate Heather!! She made our day run so smoothly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of! She used her vendor network to help us get better deals, when she could, in one instance she did this even after we had a signed contract! She met with us several times to get a full sense of what our preferences were and then used that information to coordinate with everyone on our vendor team. She even became intimately familiar with the contract details in order to be able to effectively manage the details in order to support us, and our vendors. On the day of, she handled incidents behind the scenes, so we didn't have to he bothered. She commanded attention and was able to keep our wedding on track and flowing seamlessly. She knew that I was a little wary about decor (I'm just not very creative in that way!), so she went out of her way to send suggestions and then took what we had and decorated the room beautifully. We can't speak highly enough about our experience and HIGHLY recommend Heather with When Hearts Unite! This is probably the best money we spent out of our wedding budget!

Heather an outstanding wedding planner/ coordinator

Our daughter Misha & Jordan's wedding was held on the 20th of May ( last month) Everything went on well from the beginning to the end in a glamorous way with professionalism. It was planned and executed extremely very well by Heather and your amazing hard work was greatly appreciated. The beautiful and creative decorations were admired by the guests and the talk about it is still continuing in our family circle. You made the day a memorable one with your faultless organizing skills and excellent planning. Please acknowledge our most profound Thankfulness and appreciation for being a part of this wonderful wedding day. We are completely satisfied with your hard work. Thank you Heather. You are the best....Henry and Punitha Suresh

Would hire Heather 100 times over!

Heather was everything we needed for our wedding day- and more! She was so organized, thoughtful, and responsive from the second we hired her. She sent us planning forms that were so helpful and mentioned things that we hadn't even thought about! We met a few times before the wedding to make sure everything was in place and ready. Heather helped set up, clean up, and direct the show with such grace and ease. Truly could not recommend her more to anyone who is getting married!

Heather Aaron is the best in the business!

Heather blew us away. Our wedding was a month ago and we are still telling everyone we know how amazing she was.

We hired Heather for Day of coordination and she started a couple months before. I am a type A personality and my wedding planning was no exception to this. I needed every detail to be perfect, I drove myself crazy trying to track items and vendors. The second Heather started all of my stress disappeared. She has a reassurance and charisma that is beyond fit for this business. Her organized spreadsheets, resolving issues and offering ideas before they even arise, and her stern yet bubbly attitude in managing (even drunk!) wedding parties is something out of story books.

She allowed a stressed bride like myself let go of every fear and fully enjoy every moment of not only my wedding, but my wedding week. I have memories of the most beautiful day of my life and all of them have Heather in the background. She’s a personality you hope to know forever and one you will recommend to everyone you know.

Hire her! I beg of you!

Heather did an amazing job as our month of coordinator!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!

I definitely recommend Heather as a month of coordinator!! She did an amazing job executing the most perfect day we could've asked for. There were so many little details that we had never thought of until she was there to help us plan. She went above and beyond helping us set everything up and taking it all down. Also, our venue had a house on the property and she even helped clean it up. 10/10 recommend!!!
