Amazing Partnership!

Heather and Christophe were amazing partners for us in our wedding planning! From the moment we met them, we recognized that they are experts and would bring something unique to our special day.

Heather is extremely organized, professional and brings a depth of knowledge to the intricacies of planning a wedding that we appreciated. We relied on her knowledge and partnership with top-notch vendors for all of our key elements (band, floral, hair/make-up, dessert) and were thrilled with every single one of them. On our wedding day, we were able to simply sit back and enjoy of the festivities, as Heather and team executed the day flawlessly!

Christophe brings energy and passion which translates into a relaxed atmosphere and anlso brought out fun and natural reactions from us and our wedding party. He has an incredible eye for how to use the surroundings to create unique and timeless photos that captured our day perfectly,

We simply cannot thank Heather and Christophe enough, and highly recommend them!!!

A Great Planner is Worth It!

As we started our wedding planning process, we wanted to explore how a planner could help us, even as someone who already handles corporate events. I'm so glad we found Willmus Weddings!
Heather was wonderful from our very first call, and we appreciated having the flexibility to choose between partial or full planning. During our first in-person meeting, she helped us identify what mattered most in selecting our venue. We ultimately chose partial planning based on our venue, Kijami Overlook at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and she found us incredible vendors to complete our day.
As we got closer to the wedding, I couldn't have imagined how grateful I would be to have Heather to rely on. She kept us on track with every little detail and was always ready with a thoughtful opinion whenever we had questions.
On the day of our wedding, Heather and Ava were absolutely fantastic! I was able to trust them completely to set up our decorations exactly as I had envisioned, while we enjoyed getting ready and sharing our first look. Throughout the reception, Heather made sure we actually got to eat, including trying our appetizers and sitting down to enjoy our dinner. Looking back, I'm so thankful we found Heather and Willmus Weddings!

A 10/10 Experience From Planning to Photos

Heather was an absolute dream to work with. Her attention to detail was unmatched, and she always seemed to be anticipating exactly what we needed before we even said it. She truly listened, offered thoughtful guidance whenever we asked, and kept every part of the day running smoothly. I couldn’t imagine going through the planning process without her.

Christophe was phenomenal as well. His upbeat, positive energy made the whole experience so fun, and even with the challenging weather, he captured an incredible amount of gorgeous photos. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does.

I would recommend Heather and Christophe without hesitation—10/10 experience all around.

Use Willmus for a flawless wedding experience

We worked with both Heather and Christophe for our wedding and I highly recommend them both. They are fairly priced, communicative, and kind. Overall an absolute pleasure to work with!

Heather was our wedding planner and I truly feel like our wedding day would not have happened without her. She connected us with the perfect venue and talented vendors and handled all of the hard parts so we could handle the fun parts. She made sure everyone worked cohesively together and stuck to the timeline. Our wedding day went off without a hitch and we owe it mostly to Heather.

Christophe was our videographer and he captured the day perfectly. Our videos were edited beautifully and our personalities really came through. He also finished them so quickly!

If you are getting married in the San Diego area, Willmus is the best team to work with.

Excellent Coordination/Photography Services (Highly Recommend)

Using Willmus Weddings for coordination and photography was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. Heather was professional, helpful, and ensured the entire event ran seamlessly. Christophe ensured first look and family photos ran smoothly while also taking gorgeous shots of the various moments of the day. We have nothing but compliments about how well he worked with our disabled and young family members. During the planning process, it was very obvious Willmus Weddings have strong professional relationships with the wedding industry in San Diego (which helped make the process even smoother!) Choosing them as our vendors kept the event stress-free, helped us to be present in the moment, and ensured we weren't worrying about logistics at all throughout the day. On a personal level, they're lovely people and we enjoyed all of our planning and wedding-day interactions with them - on top of us, many of our wedding party members told us much they liked Heather/Christophe. If you are having a wedding in the San Diego area, we strongly recommend hiring Willmus Weddings for coordination and photography.

Willmus Weddings is a (Will)must

Heather and Christophe are an amazing duo! We hired Heather for month of coordination for our wedding at the Thursday Club. She was instrumental in the day going off exactly as planned and key in keeping us on track during the planning process. She thought of little details I would never have thought to consider. Day of my husband and I did not have to worry about anything but enjoying the day and our friends and family. She is very easy to work with and super knowledgeable with local vendors. She was great with both the vendors she recommended and the ones we found ourselves. Christophe did both our engagement photos and wedding. The photos were stunning, and he made us feel very at ease and not as awkward as we normally would be. Had multiple guests at the wedding come up and comment how thorough and nice Christophe was, noting that he was always in the right spot to capture the moment! If you're planning a Southern California wedding, you could not find a better planner and photographer!

Heather at Willmus Weddings Made Our Day Effortless and Unforgettable

We reached out to interview a variety of wedding planners seven months before our wedding, and Heather at Willmus Weddings immediately stood out. From the start, it seemed she was not only on point, with close connections to all of the vendors (photographers, videographer- who conveniently happened to be her husband - florist, lighting, makeup, and hair), but she also genuinely cared about making the day as special as possible for us.

We initially met at the wedding site, where she walked us through all the details. Later, we met again at the site for our tasting, and she guided us through decisions that would have been overwhelming without her input. At the six-week check-in, she ensured everything was aligned and every detail handled, leaving little to no lift on our side.

The day before the wedding, Heather had all the vendors confirmed and seamlessly managed everything behind the scenes. We didn’t have a worry in the world as she walked our wedding party through the rehearsal and made sure everything was clearly communicated. On the day itself, she had an assistant present who stayed until the very end, and we couldn’t imagine our wedding going any better thanks to her focus on detail and her personal touch.

We have no reservations about recommending her for any wedding in need of direction and coordination. If you choose Willmus Weddings, you will not be disappointed.

Exceptional service and care from a company we're glad we hired for our wedding!

My husband and I got married in April of this year. I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Willmus Weddings (Christophe) as our videographer. I wanted to share a few words about our experience! From our first time communicating via email to meeting in-person to sending us our wedding video, Christophe was very helpful, ecstatic, and understanding to our requests. He made us look so intimate and special for our wedding video! Our hearts go out to Christophe and his wife for making our cherished dreams come true. We will live the wonderful moments my husband and I shared during our wedding forever thanks to them! I highly recommend hiring Willmus Weddings for your videographer for a few reasons: pricing was very reasonable and saved us big time at the end!. Christophe was professional and kind about giving us direction for shooting, making our experience pleasant and joyful throughout the whole process. He is timely in response and overall we were so pleased working with him! Thank you, Willmus Weddings, for creating something so special to us!

Thursday Club Wedding - Month of Coordination

Heather was the month of coordinator for our wedding at the Thursday Club in Point Loma. She kept us on track during the planning process and seamlessly took the reins about 6 weeks out. She beautifully thought through every detail and balanced that detail-focused mindset with a light and joyful tone. The balance created so much trust and minimized any stress beforehand. Our whole family so appreciated that they could completely disconnect on the day of the wedding because Heather and team had it all covered! We will absolutely keep her in mind if we throw more parties in the future!
