Forever & Always Weddings and Events

me on track while making sure every detail was taken care of. She reminded me about details I didn't even think of. Then when we had to push back our wedding a year due to COVID, Heather was so supportive. The month before, Heather took over all communication with all of our vendors. As somebody that has a bit of a Type A personality, it was hard for me to sit back, but Heather had every detail taken care of. She communicated with all of our vendors, redid the timeline multiple times to accommodate any and all changes, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. The best gift any bride can get is to be able to enjoy their wedding day without worrying about any detail and Heather did exactly that. Our wedding ran smoothly and if anything went wrong, I still don't know about it. Heather took care of every detail and made sure everything was on time. Our wedding ran on time the whole night, which is honestly unheard of. I didn't worry about a single thing on my wedding day and if there was anything that needed to be done, Heather quickly said "I got it." Her assistant, Kari, was just as wonderful and I couldn't be more thankful. The whole night and days after our wedding guests kept raving about how incredible Heather was. I would recommend Heather and her team to everybody!

everything ran smoothly. I found Heather on The Knot and the amount of experience she had and reviews made it seem like she was a great option so I set up a phone call with her and was blown away by how much she knew (and how much I DIDN'T know). She was going to be having a baby super close to our date though, so she recommended one of her lead assistants, Courtney, to us. I trusted that she had nothing but great things to say about her and that they'd worked together for a long time, so we took the chance and decided to go with her without even talking to her. We were NOT disappointed! Courtney was so amazing and organized everything so well for our rehearsal and day-of. She set everything up beautifully, exactly the way we wanted, and returned all of our stuff back to us just how we gave it to her. She was able to corral our giant wedding party plus our crazy families whenever we all needed to gather, and made sure that the timing of everything was going by smoothly. She was exactly what we needed and we can't thank her enough!

to enjoy myself, this amazing family experience, and the day our only daughter was to be wed!!!! Heather is detailed to the minute, organized and thorough, AND CALM! We got so many compliments on her during & after the wedding. She kept track of the wedding rehearsal, photo schedule, video schedule, wedding time line, where all the groomsmen & bridesmaids were, cell phones, contracts, set up & clean up, bubble guns, envelopes, gifts, everything in between and of course...the Bride & Groom! She made sure they were fed, hydrated, and most importantly not stressed! At first I thought it was a lot of money to spend for a Day Of Coordinator, but afterwards I think it was the best money spent! Thank you Heather, you are excellent at your job.

oordinator, at the Ebell of Los Angeles. Coordinating the wedding meant not actually planning it for me, as I wanted to do that myself. She would be there to handle all vendor communications once the month-of-the-wedding started allowing me to focus on family during the Christmas holiday. Most of our guests were from out of town making it easier for us to host them as they arrived earlier than the wedding date. I liked how candid Heather was during the entire process. I had ten months to plan. As the date drew closer around the 6-month mark, and three-month mark, and then each month thereafter (as needed), she would touch base to track and make sure we were completing our tasks. We also ended up booking an additional assistant (so total of two assistants) to help with the coordination of the wedding as our wedding venue and party size required it. The day of the wedding, Heather made sure the general details of the venue followed the aesthetics of what we wanted. One thing I was disappointed about however, was the cake wasn't decorated correctly as a bright pink (not in color scheme) flower was found at the top tier which wasn't what was communicated with my florist/cakery/and herself. It was literally a minute detail most would consider obsolete, but I felt it made my cake topper disappear. Luckily my photographer was able to photoshop it out. She also followed the timeline she put together to ensure everything ran smoothly. Furthermore, she carved out time for us to actually eat and enjoy some time together as a newlywed couple before having to meet/greet our wedding party of 213 guests. Heather was attentive to specific requests and also had some relatively affordable vendor options for rentals and favors. Cleaning up at the end of the night was a bit rocky with a couple personal items missing I would have preferred to keep. I wish I had been more clear with what I wanted and when items would need to be organized before leaving the venue as I wanted to maximize my time with my guests. I would recommend her to other couples looking to find a wedding coordinator. Overall, she did a great job being there from tasting/venue walk through, to rehearsal, and then day-of-celebration. So personable and easy to work with. Book with FAWE!
