    Phenomenal wedding planner!

    Heather was an exceptional full service wedding planner! I had Heather as a wedding coordinator and event designer 18 months prior to my wedding. With expecting baby number 1 to baby number 2, she was able to quickly adapt to meet our needs for the wedding. From beginning to end, Heather was patient and professional even after rescheduling the wedding to a future date. She made our wedding glamorous with her creativity and professional abilities. With her full wedding coordination we were able to get the best vendors for my wedding. Overall, Heather’s service was phenomenal. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    A great and supportive planner

    I started working with Heather almost 18 months before my wedding. We had planning meetings every 3 weeks from the time we signed contracts up through my wedding day. Heather was great at keeping me on track and making sure things were done on time, and I greatly appreciated her two cents on the vendors we discussed working with. She was very honest and generous about her experiences working with vendors in the past, which helped me make decisions based on my goals for our event. She was very organized and on top of things at my wedding, to the point where my bridesmaids would go to Heather for things instead of me (which helped make my day way more relaxing from an event management perspective). Would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a planner to help keep them on track and guide vendor selection decisions, and anyone looking to be able to 100% trust someone during the event to handle all the details!

    Professional, Warm, and Organized!

    Having Divine and Elegant Events owner Heather as our day of coordinator was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. Heather was professional, warm, and organized allowing us to enjoy the day and the whole planning process. We highly recommend her!

    Incredible Planner and LIFE SAVER

    I found Heather only a couple months shy of my wedding. I had all the big things like vendors figured out, but was really struggling with pulling my vision together. After my first Zoom meeting with Heather I had a huge wave of relief. She not only pulled this off within two months of working with me, but truly took care of me by keeping everyone organized. I had some health issues leading up to my wedding and she really just took charge in the last 2 weeks while I recovered. I can't put into words the kind of relief it was knowing she was in charge and seeing my vision come to life better than my expectations. I truly look back on my day and loved every moment, and I owe it to her. She had to deal with some tough personalities as well and took it in stride while remaining pleasant and professional. If you're wondering if you need a planner, EVERYONE needs a Heather.

    Thank you Heather for your coordination!

    Heather was amazing an amazing wedding coordinator to work with for our wedding last month! She is thoughtful, attentive, responsive, organized, and detail oriented. She cares about making your wedding vision come true! Right after consultation with Heather, we knew we wanted her wedding planning, coordinating and decorating expertise to make our wedding event happen. You get a lot without breaking the bank. Heather had worked at our venue before and provided great support in communicating with the venue owner regarding any inquiries that we had. Throughout the planning check-in process, she provided us benchmarks to meet with tons of planning resource documents to help us plan our event. She provided decorations for our reception space, which turned out lovely. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding/day-of coordinator experience to make sure our 100+ guest wedding was well taken care of. I am thrilled to say everything came together nicely in such a hectic, overwhelming day for us as the bride and groom. Please support her business and hire her today for your wedding! VERY BIG THANKS Heather! Best, Jeanie & Michael

    Heather is Fantastic to Work With!

    Heather was absolutely invaluable in helping plan our wedding. With Covid forcing us to switch dates and plans multiple times, we would have been completely lost without her help and guidance. Her attention to detail helped ensure that we stayed on schedule with all of our planning, and her personal touch and friendly demeanor helped take some of the stress out of the process. No matter what time of the day we needed to reach her, she was always available and happy to assist with whatever issue we had encountered. Likewise, her resourcefulness and ability to draw from her network of vendors ensured that every aspect of our wedding was taken care of. It is abundantly clear that she truly cares about her clients and treats them as friends. We are so thankful that we hired her and cannot imagine how we would have pulled off such an amazing wedding without her.

    Incredible wedding planner

    Choosing Heather as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Heather was incredible responsive, professional, and thorough. She's also incredibly affordable for how amazing she is. We will always be able to look back on our wedding day and remember how much we got to relax and enjoy, all because of Heather!

    Heather is amazing!

    Heather was our day of coordinator and I highly recommend her! She took care of everything the day of so I didn't have to worry about anything and just enjoyed my wedding day. She is always available to do any type of video call even if you only hired her for the day! She is willing to go above and beyond for us and we really appreciated it! Thank you Heather!

    Excellent day of coordinator!

    Heather was a fantastic day of coordinator, and very reasonably priced. In advance of the wedding, Heather had multiple check-in conversations with us to plan out the day and brought up details we hadn't even considered. The day of, she made sure everyone needed to be where they were supposed to, kept the schedule on track, set and cleaned up all the decorations, etc. She was also very warm and personable and made us feel at ease. As a result of her organizational skills, the day went perfect and it was great not to worry about the details.

    Exactly what we needed!

    Heather was PHENOMENAL! She was the perfect person to help us with our wedding day. We needed someone to keep things organized, make sure things started on time, help pack things up at the end of the day, and chat with vendors. She helped us with our timeline, helped prepare the room, the tables, and all of our decor. She even had her own tableware and decor that we could rent directly from her!! Our day was perfect and it was all thanks to her! I'll always recommend a day of coordinator or planner to anyone planning a wedding or event and I'll ALWAYS recommend Heather!

    Great Experience!

    Heather and her team did a great job with our wedding! She especially took control of unexpected situations. When our outdoor ceremony was rained (and hailed!) out by a freak storm only 30 minutes before starting, Heather helped with reorganizing everything to be pushed inside as we waited an hour for the ceremony to start. She got soaked helping coordinate putting everything inside - we couldn't be more thankful! Heather went above and beyond in setting up the spaces, organizing everything on the day of the wedding, and making sure things ran smoothly.

    Bride enjoyed her wedding

    I am so glad that I went with my gut to hire a wedding coordinator. Heather Patterson and Divine and Elegant Events is an excellent choice. Heather is so dedicated to her craft and provides intelligently personalized recommendations. My husband nor I are detail oriented. Through her meetings with us and our families, Heather understood what we wanted and gave us some simple detail suggestions, which were effortless to pull off.

    Originally my mom did not want anyone outside our family to execute my wedding. However, once the wedding ceremony and reception were completed my mom stated, "I'm so grateful for Heather, because she allowed me to be a mother and enjoy the wedding instead of worrying over the things going wrong." I completely agree with my mom.

    If you are struggling with wedding ideas, planning, or executing your wedding, I completely recommend hiring Heather Patterson and Divine and Elegant Events. She was a delight to work with and I truly enjoyed being a bride at my beautiful wedding.

    Sincerely, the Colemans

    Heather was AMAZING!

    Heather was incredible. Hiring her was literally the best decision we
    made in the endless number of decisions associated with our wedding
    planning. I can't say enough good things about her, but here are a few
    that come to mind:

    1. She really cares: She actually turned into a friend throughout the
    wedding planning process, rather than just a wedding planner. She was
    personally invested in our wedding. Incredibly, she even spent some of her
    own money on things to help us some special touches. I was truly moved by
    how much she cared about us as people rather than clients. She's just a
    good genuine person.

    2. Managing budget: Heather was conscious of our budget, and incredibly
    resourceful and creative in helping us save money. First, she had SO MANY
    things that she already owned and let us use at no cost (i.e., lanterns,
    seating chart, welcome sign, t-lights, commercial coffee brewers, gold
    charger plates, etc.). Second, she had really good ideas of where we could
    get quality things for low prices. For example, the weather looked like it
    was going to be cold for our outdoor wedding, and Heather showed us where
    we could buy 100 or so cute blankets for the guests for a few bucks each.

    3. Value: the value of her services was phenomenal. We saw wedding
    planners charging MUCH more than Heather charges to do less than what
    Heather agreed to do for us. In addition, Heather did MUCH MORE than she
    agreed to do for us. We hired her for partial planning, and she went above
    and beyond in terms of her engagement and level of involvement (i.e.,
    preparing favors, running errands, etc.). Further, we changed the location
    of our wedding to a venue that was 200 miles away, and Heather was not only
    flexible enough to do that, but made multiple trips there at her own
    expense.

    4. Flexible, dependable, and knowledgeable: We had many skype sessions
    with her for planning. She always worked around our busy schedule with
    scheduling times to talk, and even our last-minute cancellations and
    changes to our schedule. Heather was always professional--out of all of
    her calls and meetings we had, she was never a minute late for anything.
    Literally. She even experienced a family death shortly before our wedding,
    and she somehow didn't miss a beat with us. She was on point
    professionally and knows what she's doing.

    5. Fun: Heather is fun! We had a good time talking to her in our many
    skype meetings throughout the planning process. We even had her breaking
    it down on the dance floor at our wedding :)

    Pick Heather! This was the best decision I ever made and the best money spent for my wedding. Being an over anxious bride, I had such anxiety about everything having to be perfect. After meeting for the first time, I had so much confidence in Heather that ever detail was as I wanted it. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me!

    My daughter and I hired Heather and Divine and Elegant Events for "Day-of Coordination". The quality of Heather's services far exceeded my expectations. Believe me, the cost of her services was really money well-spent. Truly, she made all the difference between a well-run, fun wedding and one that would have come off as not organized. A warm thanks to Heather and her team. First class, ALL the way.

    My now husband & I cannot speak highly enough about Heather at Divine & Elegant Events. From the initial contact to the wedding that went off without a hitch to the handwritten thank you letter we received in the mail after all services were rendered, we could not ask for more. We initially hired Heather for partial wedding planning but realized very quickly that she is capable of so much more! She not only assisted in the planning of our wedding but also took care of the decor & floral arrangements for our wedding. Additionally, we utilized her services for our rehearsal as well as the rehearsal dinner. There are so many details that one planning a wedding does not think about. During our planning & check in meetings, Heather made sure to present a variety of topics of discussion that really put things in perspective. I can honestly admit that I had no reason to be stressed during the process as any questions or concerns that I posed were readily addressed. I highly reccommend Divine & Elegant Events and will definitely use this company's services for any future events.

    I am so happy I worked with Heather & her team at Divine & Elegant Events! There is nothing she can't handle, & nothing she doesn't think of. My reception venue was a unique space in the back of a restaurant, and she noticed so many things. Like, "kids shouldn't be back here because it's a safety hazard;" and "it makes more sense to do tables like this..., " etc. My photographer, who has decades of experience leading weddings and making timelines, was like "Your coordinator is awesome!" Despite managing all things vendor and decor, at the church, I felt like she managed to be two places at once. She came down to me pre-ceremony and was like "It's 4:07, not quite all your guests are here, do you want to start anyway?" YES! Like, how do you notice that and manage to find me as I run from mirror to mirror to check my bride self out? :-) Amidst ensuring everything else?

    I can't say enough great things. Her assistant left with a SMILE on her face after the reception. I am sure she was happy the long day was over, but she was not upset, tired, or angry (or at least she didn't show it). She seemed genuinely happy to have helped us pull off a successful event!

    I am so glad I didn't go with one of those bigger companies that over-promises and under-delivers and gets kickbacks for promoting their vendor friends. I love the personalized attention and care that I got from Divine & Elegant Events! My wedding would not have been nearly as successful without D&E and Heather!

    There are not enough words that I can say about Heather! All I can say is that she is totally awesome! She knows her business and she truly, truly cares about her customers. She came in and took me from being a frustrated bride to help me become a beautiful, stress-free bride! I am actually trying to to find something else to do just so she can plan it.

    Heather was the most amazing planner out there! She provided me with centerpiece items so that I did not have to go out buying a million votives (and many other things) for just one day. But the best thing ever, she SAVED our wedding! Our pastor who traveled from NC to VA to perform our wedding, did not tell us until after the ceremony and just before the reception that he was not registered in VA to marry us. I was so mad, I refused to enter into the reception room. This was the very first question I asked him when we interviewed him. No more than a half hour later, Heather came to our rescue and found a local pastor who had us recite our vows for him via face time all over again. And again, I got to see my now husband tear up right in front of me. It was the most precious moment again. If it were not for her, our wedding date would not have gotten backdated to the Sunday we thought was perfect (for him to always remember) for us. 10-12-14 Heather went above and beyond! I cannot wait for the professional video and pictures so that I can really see what everything looked like. That day went by so quickly! Best day ever! Thanks Heather!!!

    Thank you Heather for coordinating our big day! You made it run smoothly and allowed us to enjoy it fully! I was impressed at how available you made yourself, and still grateful for all the extras you provided graciously : candles, runner, help with the flowers....
    we were lucky to have you!

    Heather was great! She was basically on call and there to answer all my questions! She was flexible with meeting me and really went above and beyond! On the day-of, I had several guests tell me how they saw her running around and being attentive. I had total confidence that everything was getting done and was able to enjoy my wedding! The value was exceptional and I cannot recommend Heather enough!

    Great affordable service!

    We had Heather do our day-of coordination. Had an amazing wedding day! Despite the weather taking a turn and being windy and cold, Heather made sure to quickly and easily accommodate. We ended up moving the ceremony indoors and it still turned out beautiful :)
    She was very responsive with emails and all the rentals/decor she provided (plus set-up) was amazing! I loved that we were able to go to her for decor set-up specifics and she was great with nailing down the timeline and keeping everything on track the day-of. The only thing that I may say is I was slightly surprised at her professionalism and outfit during the wedding. We had a semi-formal attire wedding, but for the occasion I think she seemed slightly under-dressed. Some of the wedding party did not see her until right before or after the ceremony, and I think that along with the casual appearance made it more difficult for them to locate her or know who she was.
    However, overall I think she was very kind and made the wedding run smoothly and for the price (esp compared to other vendors) it was a great package!
