    Laura is the best!

    We cannot praise Laura from Heart of Sedona enough! She truly exceeded our expectations in every way possible, and we give her a 5-star review without hesitation.
     
    Laura is very detail oriented and created a well-thought-out timeline for every aspect of the wedding, and she kept us on track throughout the entire planning process. Her ability to juggle multiple tasks, vendor communications and meeting deadlines with ease was truly impressive. We never felt overwhelmed or stressed because we knew she had everything under control.
     
    What truly stood out about Laura was her calm and cool personality, she remained composed throughout the entire process. Her reassuring presence was a source of comfort for us, and it helped us relax and enjoy the journey leading up to our big day.
     
    We can't express how much we appreciate her, and we can't thank her enough for making our wedding day so special. We genuinely appreciate all that she did for us, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond. If you want a wedding that exceeds your wildest dreams and is executed with precision and grace, look no further. She is the best in the biz and we are forever grateful for her. ❤️

    Absolutely incredible!

    If you're getting married in Sedona, booking Laura at Heart of Sedona Weddings is a MUST! She was exceptional to work with. Our contract began while she was away on vacation and she made it a point to continue to reach out, plan, and assist in the best capacity she could while camping in the wilderness. I really appreciated that and it went a long way.

    There's truly nothing Laura can't do! She was tracking the weather for us months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding and helped us in deciding on a tent last minute (which was necessary since it torrentially rained 15 minutes after our ceremony ended and our reception was outside in a courtyard). She and her team set up everything to perfection, wiped down tables and swept water out of our tent after the rain stopped, made sure everything flowed perfectly, and put important things aside and gave them to me after the party wrapped up to ensure they weren't misplaced and I was able to take home what was important to me.

    She's a gem and I truly don't know how the day would've gone without her and her team's work! Thank you, Laura!!

    Heart of Sedona Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Emily! It was truly my pleasure to work with you and your moms to bring the vision for your day to life. Wishing you and Jake a lifetime of happiness !

    You want Rev. Andrew marrying you

    Where do I even begin about Reverend Andrew??
    What a kind gentle soul. A little over three months ago, we had the privilege having Andrew marry us. For your wedding in Sedona, you want this thoughtful, well-learned soul marrying you. He is well-studied in the world's religions and spirituality, and so brings this wealth of experiences to his couples. He also helped us find Sedona's best photographer, Rebekah Hlasny (www.rgonzalezphotos.com), for our wedding. They have worked together on many many weddings and, in our opinion, they are Sedona's Dynamic Duo.
    We opted for his "Treasured Moments" wedding package. To prepare, he sat down with us on three occasions (two online and then a face-to-face over coffee once we arrived the week of our wedding). Perfect for all of us to get to know each other and for him to gently guide us in planning what ended up being such an ideal gathering and ceremony for us. Through all of it, we became fast friends and we realized quickly there was no one else we wanted to marry us.
    Come the evening of our sunset wedding, he hopped in our Pink Jeeps and once we arrived out on Merry-Go-Round Rock, he knew exactly how to help decide where best for us and the rest of our wedding party to be. Once the ceremony began, he brilliantly guided all of us to take in the moments, the magnitude, the beauty, and the spirituality around us.
    We can't thank you enough Reverend Andrew! And thank you Laura, for letting this amazing man of yours be the person marrying us that evening.
    - Kyle and Dawn

    Laura + HOSW rocks!!!

    I've worked with Heart of Sedona weddings many times (as a wedding photographer) and I cannot say enough about how incredible their team is!! Laura is always on top of everything; I've watched her conquer the most complicated timelines with ease and grace. Every couple loves working with her, and every vendor is so happy when they hear her name. You can't go wrong with Heart of Sedona Weddings!

    Heart of Sedona Weddings's reply:

    Thanks so much, Molly! We always LOVE working with you, too! Looking forward to when we can 'play' together again!!

    Hosw is the best!

    We hired Laura for month-of coordination and were absolutely blown away by how incredible she was. Not only did she plan us the most BEAUTIFUL wedding, but she went above and beyond several times to ensure our day was everything we wanted. She is the most professional planner while also being so kind and patient, and hung in there with me through so many changes, delayed responses, etc. I actually cried at the end of the reception because I was so grateful for her hard work and also so sad that our planning time together had come to an end! HOSW and Laura are the best, hands-down.

    Heart of Sedona Weddings's reply:

    Oh my, Julie, thank you so much for your kind and beautiful words, now I'm in tears!! I will miss working together with you and wish you a beautiful and happy life together!! xo

    Preferred vendor

    I am not a client but wedding vendor. I have been working with Andrew and Laura for about seven years now and absolutely love their style and professionalism. I am very picky about who I refer my clients to as it’s important that they are taking good care of. These two have been my top recommendation for all of my couples who want wedding planning or officiant. Thank you Andrew and Laura for consistently being incredible I look forward to the next time we work together!

    Laura (Heart of Sedona Weddings) was my wedding planner last month and was absolutely AMAZING throughout the entire process.

    Great Officiant!

    We got to work with Reverend Murphy for our June wedding. He was responsive and willing to answer all questions, as needed. We enjoyed having him as part of our ceremony!

    Thank you for your kind words! I had a lot of fun working with you and meeting your family and friends.

    Laura and Hearts of Sedona are amazing

    We can't thank Laura at Hearts of Sedona enough for the wonderful work she did planning our daughter's destination wedding at Enchantment in Sedona...in October...during COVID. We capped the head count at 50 and live streamed to everyone who couldn't come. Everything came off without a hitch and was absolutely perfect. Laura is experienced and has built relationships with the venues and vendors in Sedona. She's a creative spirit who can take your ideas and make them happen - in budget. She covers all the details and takes the stress off the bride and family. She's just delightful to work with, I can't recommend her highly enough.

    Heart of Sedona Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Beth! It certainly was a pleasure working with you and I'm so happy COVID didn't get in the way of such a beautiful day!

    Laura is lovely!

    Laura helped my fiancé and I plan our small intimate ceremony and reception! While COVID19 has changed our plans, I would recommend Laura to anyone wishing to plan an event in Sedona! She is extremely knowledgable and knows the community very well. When I showed her the wedding arbor I was dreaming of, she knew exactly who in town would have it and gave me their contact info!

    Heart of Sedona Weddings's reply:

    Thank you, Antonia! I'm so sorry your event was caught in these unprecedented circumstances... I was so looking forward to your event!
    Wishing you all the best and BIG social distance hugs!!!

    Excellent Officiant Service!

    Reverend Andrew Murphy provided my husband and I a beautiful ceremony! He spoke well to our personalities and made it the perfect ceremony! Communication with Andrew was excellent,. We were able to email and call him with anything we wanted in our ceremony, and he even executed our rehearsal the day before making sure us and our bridal party knew what to do and where to walk/stand! So thank you Andrew for your exceptional service!

    Perfection!!!!

    Laura made our wedding day absolutely perfect. We didn't have to worry or stress about a thing. She is extremely organized, prepared, and experienced. Without her I can't imagine the day would have turned out the way it did. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner in the Sedona area. She not only planned a perfect wedding, but she also became our friend :)

    Heart of Sedona makes your wedding a dream come true

    Our Sedona wedding was the most spectacular and heart-felt event of our lives. We are so grateful to Laura and her team at Heart of Sedona for bringing to life our vision and executing an event that our guests are still talking about.

    Laura is the best in the wedding planning business. She is calm, creative, supportive and detail-oriented. Our wedding took place at Enchantment Resort in 3 different spots, including two outdoor areas. Laura and her team set up the venues beautifully and guided our guests seamlessly to each location. Even when the rain threatened to bring the whole event indoors, Laura kept me calm and positive.

    During the planning process, I felt blessed to have a pro like Laura assisting me with vendor selection, contract review, and negotiating with vendors. I felt I had a strong partnership with her and access to the best vendors, services and decor. She was also always available and prompt to return my emails or phone calls. We had a destination wedding so this was key.

    Thank you Heart of Sedona for putting your hearts into making our wedding a dream come true.

    you are so very welcome and thank you, Linda for this beautiful review! we truly enjoyed helping you to create the wedding of your dreams, it was such a gorgeous event! xo

    The BEST wedding planner!

    We worked with Laura who was just beyond words helpful, efficient, conscientious, professional and very knowledgeable with regard to what it takes to create the perfect wedding day. She also went beyond and above what would be expected of a wedding planner, both in her time commitment and in reading the wedding couple-anticipating their needs and keeping us all in line with what and when things needed to be done. She is truly lovely and we are grateful to have worked with her. Mother of the Groom

    Wonderful and thoughtful

    Reverend Murphy was so wonderful! His words during the ceremony were meaningful and thoughtful, and made our wedding even more special. I think we all got teary eyed during the ceremony. Also, he gave up part of his Thanksgiving day with his family to perform our ceremony - that was incredible of him to do that.

    As parents of the bride, one word that comes to mind, phenomenal!!! Laura was truly unbelievable. At every twist and turn she handled every detail in a timely manner. We named her "Our Fairy Godmother"! It was like she waved her magic wand and made things happen before we could blink. Laura's contacts with the various vendors made our job sooooo easy. Be it entertainment, flowers, invitations.....etc., she had the connection! We fell in love with this wonderful women who we now proudly call our friend ❤️

    Laura Marolakos is beyond the stars on each rating scale!

    We had a quick engagement (6 months) and in that short time Laura became like family. Immediately, she got us going with the planning process and she walked us through every. single. step. Laura was able to break apart all the "to do's" of wedding planning into digestible bites. We never felt too overwhelmed or too stressed by the process. Her calm, professional demeanor made us feel confident from the moment we met all the way to the big day. Laura was thorough and meticulous in planning every detail. Her taste is exquisite. She connected with the heart of our wishes and just GOT US. She was amazing. We feel so lucky we got her as our planner. (Side note: as a professional, I feel like I learned a lot from her that I will apply in my job and future endeavors. Not sure if she knew what an impression she made on me. What an amazing role model and the world needs more women like Laura.)

    Our wedding was a fairytale and I know it's because we had our own fairy godmother, Laura Marolakos making our reality feel like a dream.

    Reverend Andrew was PERFECT for our wedding. He sent us a questionnaire to fill out and tailored our ceremony to this. His opening words and sentiments were beautiful and sounded perfect in our wedding video. You can tell he has been doing this for a very long time. It was a little odd to be married by someone you don't really know but he makes it seem like you have known him forever. I am so glad he was a preferred vendor for Agave of Sedona and that he was a part of our amazing day! Would highly recommend.

    We got very lucky by selecting Laura aka Heart of Sedona Weddings to plan our special day. We could not be any happier. Wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful with all the pressure it can bring but having Laura as our planner made us feel at ease. From the very first interaction we had with Laura, she has been a consummate professional. Not only is she a good listener, she is also a really good advisor and simply gets things done. She understood our vision right away and made it a reality. She responded quickly to our inquiries and we felt that everything was under control the entire time. Reverend Andrew and Laura made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. We love how organized and detailed Laura was.

    Heart of Sedona Weddings met and exceeded all our expectations and we are forever grateful...

    We planned our boutique wedding in Sedona 8 months ahead. After talking to several area vendors, Heart of Sedona Weddings, seemed to best meet our needs. When talking to Reverend Andrew, he really listened to what kind of ceremony we wanted and offered us suggestions for different versions and locations. We were very happy with the beautiful setting to showcase Sedona and it was easy for our family to locate and walk to. Heart of Sedona weddings gave us references for restaurants, hotel, and florists that we were also very happy with. Andrew touched based with us leading up to our wedding and was able to capture who we are as a couple and what marriage means to us in the ceremony. We were very happy with the selection of photographers that he recommended and are excited to see the final photos! This was a very easy and relaxing process with attention to detail that met all of our needs. There was a possibility of rain and Andrew had a "rainy day" plan all ready for us in the event that happened. I would definitely recommend this company for your Sedona wedding package.

    What a great company to go with. Andrew seriously did all of the planning to make our day possible. He was super easy to work with and was able to tailor a fun, romantic, intimate ceremony that was everything we could have asked for... thank you again for all that you do!

    Andrew was wonderful to work with and provided great information about location, the ceremony along with different vendors in the Sedona area. He personalized the ceremony, which was very special for us.
