“Heather, thank you so much for planning our perfect night! With the bride in DC and the groom in Boston and the wedding in Jax, it would have been impossible for us if you weren’t there. So many things could of gone wrong but it all went so smoothly and stress free!! Everyone is amazed and had a great time!!”

- Sharon, bride

“Dear Emma – Thank you so much for helping make Teddi and Chris’ wedding so picture-perfect last weekend. I don’t know what we’d have done without your expertise, encouragement, and organization. I’m not sure there is any way to make a wedding totally stress-free… but you tried. Thank you!”

- Nancy & Dave, parents of the bride

“From start to finish, our experience with FCWE was effortless.  Vendor selection was made very easy as Heather minded our style, budget and personality.  I only now realize how much effort goes into coordintating such a day – the team performed their activities in the background and yet somehow managed to get every detail just right.  L and I are grateful for the talent, experience, professionalism,  and heart of Heather and her team.”

- Kelly, bride

“I thought Heather did an amazing job! She found the best people for my wedding and made sure if ran very smoothly.  I could not have done it without her.  I’m so grateful I found her.  Thank you for making my days so amazing, beautiful and special.  I especially recommend her since I was planning a destination wedding.  Excellent job!”

- Megan, bride

-Christina, bride

“Coordinating plans between Chicago and Jacksonville really required anticipatory guidance, etiquette guidelines, advice and recommendations to keep us on course. Heather did a FANTASTIC job! The best help was the wedding day – we could leave everything to her and her assistant Emma.  I didn’t relax until then.  I will highly recommend her.

Heather responded promptly and professionally to all our phone calls and emails.  She was pleasant, calm, and helpful, and very accommodating  My daughter and I are very detail oriented and Heather was knowledgeable about all the specifics during our discussions.  That was very reassuring!”

-Joanne, mother of the bride

It really was great having you there and thank you so much for doing such a fantastic job! I really felt like you had everything under control and I didn’t even think about any of the details, which was great…and neither did our Moms which is always a good thing!! Thank you again, and we could not have done it without you!”

- Liz, bride

“After all the months of planning, it’s hard to believe Katie and Bill are now a married couple!  Tim and I would like once again to thank you for your part in helping to create the wedding of Katie and Bill’s dreams.  Planning a destination wedding, in a location that I knew very little about, was, at first, very intimidating.  However, your suggestions and advice were very reassuring.  We were so pleased with all your recommendations – all the vendors were so easy and extremely enjoyable to work with and made our planning experience so much fun!  Thank you for your help in transporting everything once we arrived in Amelia Island.  It was so nice not to have to worry about all of that.  The biggest thank you is for the rehearsal and the day of the wedding.  Being able to really enjoy Katie and Bill’s wedding and have fun with our guests was our ultimate goal.  We certainly achieved that with the help of you and your staff.  It was a pleasure to work with you, Heather.”

- Laurie, mother of the bride

“I had the most wonderful experience working with First Coast Weddings & Events! The professionalism and wealth of knowledge about wedding trends and vendors was priceless. I feel as though I lost a friend after our wedding planning ended!”

- Paul and Sara, bride and groom

“We wanted to thank you for all your help and hard work.  We never could have done it without you.  I hope it wasn’t too tough dealing wiht us.  I also wanted to thank you for helping me with my freak out at the reception.  You were great!  You have a very hard job and we truly appreciate everything you did for us. Thank you so much.”

- Ryan and Laura, bride and groom

“I would heartily recommend Heather to anyone…I found her to be very responsive and if I needed to talk to her – she was very accessible by phone…She was invaluable for selecting the vendors. Everyone had recommendations – but Heather had the scoop. She knew who was good to work with (loved our photographers – thinking of adopting them), who had the yummiest freshest cakes (some people in town actually freeze them – can you believe it!) and got us a wonderful deal on the reception. We feel that she more than paid for herself. We didn’t have problems on our wedding day – seriously. If they happened, [we] were completely unaware of them. If they came up – she handled them and we never knew. The greatest kicker was – during the reception when we were burnt out and turned around looking for Heather, she was there with towel to wipe our sweaty brows and a glass of ice water. We would look for her when we needed a break and we found that she was watching us the whole time and knew when we needed that break. She did for us what no family member or friend ever would – she took care of us. We interviewed a number of consultants and we felt that Heather was the only consultant that 1). had the experience we were looking for, 2).had the confidence and stamina we were looking for (we are very opinionated and can be a real pain) and 3). knew what the heck she was talking about. She has a very good relationship with the vendors that we met and I think that speaks volumes about her. Not only are we happy with her, but they are happy with her.”

- Carol, bride

“It was a pleasure to work with you, you made our job easier (even assisting us to the next location)  which was very helpful…Thanks again Heather.”

- Patrice Evans, Magnolia String Quartet

“You are fabulous! You are calming and soothing and always knew the answers to my questions! I am so happy I made the decision to have you as my wedding planner! In the future, if I need your services again, I will not hesitate to call!”

- Linda, mother of the bride

“I want to thank you again for such a great job with Denise & Mike’s wedding…we have still not come off Cloud 9, it was just spectacular. It’s practically all we talk about!  A month or so before the wedding, Denise’s dad asked me several times what does the wedding coordinator do? Well, he doesn’t ask anymore, you were absolutely incredible, down to the finest detail.”

- Bonnie, mother of the bride

“As a Wedding Photographer I have worked with many Bridal Consultants. So many times when working with some other Bridal Consultants we are very limited with the time process in getting photographs for the wedding. I feel that most consultants do forget that it is the day for the Bride and Groom. I really want to tell you how much I have enjoyed working weddings with you. I feel that your services go above and beyond. You really understand the importance of EVERY vendor that is hired for a wedding. You are very professional, organized, and timely, and for the reason it really makes our job easier. I just want you to know how highly we think of you and look forward to working future weddings with you.”

- Kate Smith, Co-Owner of Kris Graham Photography
