    Great Wedding Planner!

    I had Heather working alongside of me during the whole planning process. Heather is a very professional and dedicated person who strive to give her client the best service! She recommended us the best local vendors, helped me to answer questions when I felt overwhelmed, give me good advice when I needed. She is very into detail too which is a good trait to have as a wedding planner. Her team members are great as well. I had Shannon in my team as well. They did a fantastic job on the wedding day to coordinate everything too. The day went so fast. I could not have survived without Heather and her team. I would recommend HFE to everyone!

    100% Recommend

    Hiring Heather and her team for day-of coordination was the best decision we made for our wedding! They were always realistic about expectations, helpful beyond belief, extremely personable, and made us feel at ease. We had a couple of hiccups with vendors and Heather has been so helpful in helping us navigate how to reach out to those vendors afterwards to get the quality of services we paid for. I would recommend them to another Wisconsin bride in a heartbeat.

    An amazing addition to our day!

    Heather was amazing to work with. She has such a kind and calm presence that makes her such a joy to work with. We hired her for our month-of coordination and by time our wedding month rolled around I was so happy to have her help. She is truly a professional and has so much knowledge that would be helpful to other couples. Our family and wedding party just raved about how great she is. Would absolutely recommend reaching out to her for your planning/coordination needs.

    Heather Farr Events & Consulting's reply:

    Your kind words made our day! Thank you, Amy. You and Dan are the best! Your wedding was beautiful, fun and heartfelt!

    The best in the biz!

    Heather and her team are the best in the biz! After shopping around for a wedding planner in southeast Wisconsin, this team was clearly exactly what we were looking for. They brought organization, rigor, knowledge and (most importantly) fun to every step of the process. They kept us on track with to do lists, managed vendor communication, brought inspiration and ideas to meetings and kept us within our budget. If you're looking for a talented, kind and passionate team to help bring your day to life, look no further than Heather Farr Events! We are eternally grateful for all of their help and guidance in planning our wedding.

    Truly amazing!!

    Heather Farr Events was truly the reason I was able to enjoy my wedding and not stress about all the little details! I am fairly type A and was so nervous about all the details, the timeline, and making sure everyone had a good time. The moment I met Heather and her team I knew I could trust them, and by the time the wedding day rolled around I wasn’t stressed in the slightest thanks to all of her help and expertise!

    An invaluable addition to your day!!

    I never would have thought I would hire a day of coordinator when I first started wedding planning, but I’m so glad that we had Heather and her assistant, Haley, as part of our day. I love organizing, so I enjoyed wedding planning, but neither Trevor nor I wanted to have to worry about anything day of, and we didn’t want our family to either. I found Heather on a Brides Facebook group, and it was an amazing experience for many reasons. 1) She listened to what we were looking for on our initial phone call. She offered advice but wasn’t pushy. 2) Based on that call, she shared the packages she offered, but she also worked with us to customize a package that fit what we truly needed. 3) Heather was part of my final meeting with our venue so she could be clued in, and she and Haley completely took over contacting my vendors around a month out, even offering to contact one that wasn’t technically part of the timeline for which they were hired. It took away a lot of our stress those final weeks! 4) Day of, they truly took care of everything and made sure things flowed smoothly. They worked with my florist to decorate, and they took down and packed things up at the end of the night. My mom was prepared to take on a lot of the last minute details so that my husband and I could relax day of, and even she commented that Heather/Haley were amazing and made her feel like she could relax. This says a lot, because my mother is not a low stress lady 🤣 I found out the next day there was a bit of a snafu with my wedding cake delivery, and my mom said they just handled! They were even willing to go pick up a new cake somewhere if needed. The best part was, I didn’t know about this or have to worry about it until my mom shared it with me the next day. My husband and I truly felt taken care of, and we had a blast at our wedding. Thank you for allowing us to sit back and enjoy our day.

    Meticulous Planning & Execution

    Heather recently helped with my wedding and she was nothing short of amazing. We booked her month of coordination package but ended up utilizing her skills prior to a month out.

    Heather is very meticulous and organized which is exactly what we needed to keep track of all the little details that made our day unique to us. From running the rehearsal to helping customize our cocktail hour design, she covered it all. It was no small task given the large wedding party to wrangle and the multiple contingency plans put together in case of inclement weather. She kept what could have been a chaotic day very peaceful. Every single detail of our day was executed seamlessly thanks to Heather. Not to mention, she is an absolute pleasure to work with and brings years of experience to an overwhelming wedding planning process.

    I cannot recommend Heather enough!

    Hire Heather, you won't regret it!

    Heather and her assistant were AMAZING! We hired Heather for the whole event (planning before and during) and it was worth every penny. As a newer mom and someone who travels for work hiring Heather, I knew someone would catch all of the things I wasn't thinking of. The amount of stress that was lifted just knowing she was there, was fantastic. She also brought a bunch of great ideas as well. We LOVED working with her! I would highly recommend.

    Heather helped us plan the wedding of our dreams!

    Heather is an absolute treasure. Her experience combined with her genuine desire to help you create the experience you want makes her such a valuable resource. She helped us flush out our vision for the day to create the wedding of our dreams and was there with us every step of the way. When it came to hotels, there was a lot of back and forth, and I can’t imagine keeping it all organized without Heather. The vendors we worked with who knew her told us she’s one of the best in the business, and she delivered 100%.

    We could not recommend Heather enough!

    I would highly recommend working with Heather! After I got engaged, I knew that I wanted to work with a wedding planner and so I spent a lot of time reviewing and considering the services available in Milwaukee. From my first call with Heather I knew I could trust her with our wedding. We began working with Heather in September 2022 and through the lead up to our June 2022 wedding, she was extremely communicative, supportive, and helpful throughout the process. She provided advice and guidance as issues arose and was a huge factor in alleviating any worries I had. When it came to the immediate lead up and the day of wedding, Heather was the greatest asset to making things go smoothly with minimal issues. She kept everything on schedule and was able to fix issues that arose, to the point that I wasn’t even really aware of them and wasn’t worried because I knew she would handle it. Beyond her amazing planning and execution skills, she is such a wonderful and fun person to work with! I enjoyed every meeting we had and was so grateful to have her through the process. She and her assistant, Hailey, had great, positive energy on our wedding day, and we really could feel how much the cared about the success of our wedding! I could not recommend Heather enough!

    Happy Bride

    We hired Heather for partial planning and day-of coordination and could not have been happier working with her! She was an amazing resource during the planning process and a critical piece on our wedding day to ensure that everything was seamless.

    During the planning process, Heather kept us on track and organized and provided excellent insight on vendors and ideas to bring our vision to life. We also had a lot of questions about utilizing our budget in an impactful way and etiquette in general, and Heather was responsive and patient with everything we threw her way and made the planning process much more enjoyable.

    The day-of coordination was incredible and I felt so confident knowing that Heather and her team had everything covered. Heather assisted with everything that we planned for and the unexpected - from helping with the ceremony rehearsal to making sure every detail at the reception was just right, to saving the day with a safety pin. She handled it all like such a pro. The best part was that my husband and I, our family members, and the wedding party did not have to worry about a thing a just got to enjoy the day. Thank you, Heather!!

    Happy to be married, but sad I'm not working with Heather anymore!

    Heather is everything I wanted and more in a wedding planner - a strong network and reputation in the area, expertise on budgeting and timelines, and so much heart. We hired her for full-service coordination and for 18 months, she was committed to making our dream day come true. She’d give me a small and manageable list of tasks to tackle each month and would work with me each step of the way sourcing vendors, reviewing contracts and making decisions. I found her vendor sourcing especially helpful - I’d share what I was looking for and how much that service “mattered” to me, and she’d circle back with a proposed % of my overall budget + a few vendor recommendations. Then as the big day approached, I noticed her help and appreciated her excitement even more. She set up meetings I didn’t even know I should be having in order to ensure all our vendors were in sync. She helped me with local pick-ups since I didn’t live in the area. She took on extra tasks during our wedding weekend like ensuring all guests were abiding by our COVID safety policies. And then the day of the wedding - it was truly the best feeling in the world to know that she would take care of everything. Even when rain emerged out of nowhere 30 minutes before the ceremony, I was able to enjoy that time with my bridal party and fiance while Heather helped coordinate moving everything indoors. She handled all my day-of decor and tip distribution during the event, and she kept everyone on track and was my eyes and ears making sure the day was perfect. She and her assistant Rachel were prompt, professional and a joy to work with. I am so proud to support an independent, woman-owned business, and Heather’s work was tireless and exceptional. Thank you Heather!

    Heather Farr Events & Consulting's reply:

    Thank you so much, Caity!!! Wish we could relive your wedding day! I truly loved working with you and Noah. So grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know you and also share in this exciting time in your lives!

    Heather was an absolute godsend that made our wedding possible.

    We had a small wedding that was thrown together at the last moment (only about 1 month before). Under these extremely challenging circumstances Heather was absolutely brilliant. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found her in time. She was totally calm and professional, figured out exactly what I wanted, researched multiple venues, and boiled everything down to a simple decisionmaking process for us. On top of that she took full advantage of our flexibility and got us a great deal at a terrific little venue. Although only a few guests were able to attend due to the short notice, literally everything else about the wedding was a home run. Moreover, I consider her fees extremely reasonable for the quality of service she delivered. Great job Heather.

    Helpful and Supportive Day of Coordinator/Wedding Planner

    Heather and her entire team were so thorough, patient, supportive and helpful throughout the entire wedding process. She made being organized and prepared for our big day a lot less stressful and made sure we had every detail we wanted for our wedding. I could not recommend Heather and her team more for wedding consultations, planning, and more!

    Phenomenal Service

    Heather provided invaluable assistance in making our wedding what it was. She is very organized and is passionate about creating the wedding her customers want. With the exception of a speaker misplacing his speech and struggling to improvise the entire day went exactly how we wanted it. She is the person to go to!

    Heather is the best!

    Hiring Heather Farr as our wedding planner was the best thing we did for us and our wedding! We made several hard attempts at planning it ourselves over the years and kept putting it on hold due to how overwhelming it was and impossible to get information. Hitting our heads against the wall and SO timing consuming. The moment we hired Heather it all changed for us. It went from stressful to fun! As it should be!

    Heather’s experience and knowledge of the industry and area along with her fun yet stern (when needed with vendors) personality makes her a great wedding planner. She was easily able to take our vision and recommend appropriate vendors to look into. This plus her handling most of the communication left us time to spend more time on things we really wanted to do... like making stuff!

    Heather has a very detailed broken down to-do list leading up to the big day which helps focus on things month to month and not get too overwhelmed. She also does such a great job checking in and helping with whatever she can to help keep on track and relieve any stresses. She’s also a great person to bounce ideas off of. We loved all of her suggestions!

    Heather is also very personable! She became a friend through the process and we truly miss having reasons to communicate with her so often. Planning with someone like this made the whole process so much for comfortable and enjoyable.

    Come the big day, her and her assistant were super professional and were on top of everything. They went above and beyond in so many ways! There were a few hiccups, but she was able to think on her feet and take care of anything that came up. We were able to focus on our guests and each other without having to worry. What a gift!

    Thank you Heather for a wonderful wedding! We highly recommend Heather to anyone who wants to have fun planning their wedding and not waste time on the things she could be helping you out with. Know you will be in good hands!

    Hire Heather!

    Heather was our month of coordinator for our wedding August 2018 wedding in Lake Geneva. She was SO helpful at making sure all the details I had been planning were executed flawlessly. We had an issue with our caterer (not Heather's fault) and she helped us get a very nice refund from them. Overall, it was the best day ever! I would highly recommend Heather - she's easy to work with, priced fairy, very organized and responsive.

    Heather was fantastic. She was on top of everything and managed my list and questions throughout the day! Even if you have an awesome venue and great vendors, you still need someone to manage all of those little/forgotten tasks. She helped me in the weeks leading up and the day of. She really takes the worry out of the day so you can fully enjoy it!!

    Heather was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! She was our day-of-coordinator and my family and I were blown away by her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. She puts her clients’ interests first and helped keep our stress level low the month before our wedding. Don’t hesitate to use her services! Thank you Heather for all of your hard work! It was a pleasure working with you!

    Heather was an amazing day-of coordinator for our wedding at the Farm at Dover in May. She was always responsive and on top of things, and was so essential on the day of. From helping with the decor details and coordinating with our vendors (photo, video, band, caterer, bartender, venue, and more), she always had a smile on her face. She and her assistant Emma went above and beyond in ensuring that our wedding went smoothly. Some of the little details I so appreciated included making sure our chocolate favors didn't melt in the unexpected heat and buying anti-itch cream for mosquito bites! I would recommend Heather to any couple planning their wedding without any hesitation.

    Heather was our day-of/month-of coordinator for our wedding. She came in and picked our planning right where we left off to make sure our wedding day was totally stress-free. She communicated with all of our vendors in the week leading up to the wedding and kept track of all of the details. Our wedding had to be moved inside because of a massive downpour outside and she helped move everything along seamlessly. We had such a blast and can't thank Heather enough for all of her and her assistant's help along the way. It is well worth it to get a day-of coordinator to eliminate all worries and make sure you have the most perfect day. Heather was amazing!!

    Month of Coordination - You need this!!

    I happened to meet Heather while looking at venues, and she gave me some great tips on finding a venue. Once we nailed down our venue a few months later, it was a happy coincidence that she was the venue's recommended Month of Coordinator. She was such a great asset to have in the hectic last few weeks of wedding planning, and she made us confident that it would all come together in the end! On our actual wedding day, it can't be understated the role Heather and her team played in keeping everything on track and moving. Most importantly to my husband and I, she really took a huge burden off our plates because we weren't making sure these tables got this decoration, or the jazz band knew where to go... we just got to sit back and enjoy the best day of our lives. I really don't recall any logistics of the event because Heather and our vendor team just took the reins. The value of this is just huge - you do all the planning up front, and it takes away from the joy of the event if you are managing a schedule and vendors all night. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, here is your sign to DO IT and hire Heather Farr Events!Read Less
