GALA by Heather Edwards

When i first got engaged, we knew we needed help bringing our vision and dreams alive. Working with Heather did exactly that! Throughout our wedding planning process, Heather was professional, kind and efficient. Heather gracefully handled many of the details of our northern wedding from south California with ease. We had a fairly large bridal party- from blended families and grandparents to our young nephews, Heather knew just how to coral everyone and keep our schedule for the day on track. She dedicated herself to our wedding, making us feel like the only couple she had. We felt SO taken care of by her. Heather is an absolute expert in her field and answered all my questions. If you’re looking for someone to plan your big day and make your dreams happen, Heather is the one to book! She gave us an amazing experience and we’re so grateful we booked Heather for our big day!

My daughter’s wedding day historically called for fabulous fall weather. A wedding for almost 200 people scheduled for 5:00pm outside with plenty of space and its own beauty. 2 days before the big day, rain was forecasted and we needed plan B to move 200 people inside. As the mother of the bride, this issue became very stressful. We immediately met with the owners of the winery, they had a wine cave we were unaware of. That wine cave became Heathers play ground! She transformed a dingy cold damp wine cave into a gorgeous setting for the ceremony. She figured out how to get enough seats for everyone when she was told over and over this won’t work. Heather took what started as such a stressful situation and created the most memorable beautiful wedding ceremonies ever. (8 years later we’re still talking about it.) Her creativity is unparalleled! She decorated the reception area, added her own lighting and created just a magical evening for all. Including creating and putting together all of the flowers, from bouquets to all table arrangements and everything in between. She coordinated efforts with all of our vendors, the owner of the winery, provided a Photo Booth and completely eliminated the stress of the weather. Heather created such a magical wedding for my daughter. I’ve had the pleasure to attend multiple weddings Heather has coordinated. Each wedding was special, unique and beautiful! If you want your special day to be nothing short of magnificent, look no further than GALA by Heather! Kathy Perry

Heather was in charge of planning & executing both of our daughter’s weddings. She left no stone unturned and we still talk about that perfect day! Her attention to detail, listening to the Brides wishes & bringing the vision to life, was priceless. My only regret, is that I can’t give her 10 STARS!

Heather was absolutely incredible! Her creativity transformed our venue into a magical reflection of our relationship. We initially worried about the cost, but looking back, we wish we had invested more in her team and less in the overcooked chicken! She used her sense of humor to diffuse tense situations and kept my mother-in-law calm with constant white wine refills. What more could we ask for? Honestly, if my current marriage falls through, the silver lining would be hiring her again!
