A Very Special Vow Renewal, The Colonial Inn

“Heather planned our 25th Anniversary Vow Renewal Wedding. We did a full wedding, and Heather was phenomenal. Heather missed no details and has a large array of vendors to make sure your wedding goes off flawlessly.”

Choose Bona Fide in a heartbeat

“We are so grateful to Heather for the care and expertise that she brought to our wedding planning process. My fiance and I were planning a wedding amidst a busy year- graduate school, starting new jobs, moving, etc.!- and Heather helped keep us on track as we got closer and closer to the big day. One of the things I've appreciated most about Heather is that she's straight with you- she has the imagination and sense of fun to help you dream up a beautiful, joyful event, but she'll also be frank and candid with you about budget, what's going to work best, what you have to have and what you can go light on, etc. On the day-of we were able to relax knowing that Heather really understood our vision and was behind the scenes working with our various vendors and making everything run smoothly. We would recommend Heather and Bona Fide events in a heartbeat for weddings and other events.”

Top Notch Wedding Day Help

“Heather is awesome! She was a great help with everything on the day of the wedding. She took charge and we didn't have to worry about anything. Leading up to the wedding she was a great help getting in contact with all our vendors to make sure everything was set for the wedding day. She was also a great help when our bakery closed down 4 weeks before the wedding. Whenever we had a question she was really quick to respond and offer advice and solutions.”

— Mark + Patrick, wedding couple

Wonderful help from a caring person!

“We were so lucky to have Heather help us coordinate our special day. She came in to a rather piecemeal plan and helped tie everything together into a cohesive and beautiful event. On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing knowing that it was all being managed by her capable hands. Thanks so much Heather for all your help!“

— Jason, groom

A worry-free wedding!

“Heather was the perfect combination of efficient and yet very calm. She gave me wonderful guidance during the decision-making phase. She helped me save money without cutting corners and, when the big day drew close, she was on top of every last detail. Initially I didn't think I needed a wedding planner. Now I know I couldn't have done it without her.”

— Allie, bride

Best Wedding Decision Made

“People kept asking ‘aren’t you stressed/busy/overwhelmed with the upcoming wedding?’ And I kept wondering why they were asking. Between Heather (and my amazing daughter) everything was under control. Heather’s professionalism, attention to detail, connections and calmness during the months leading to the event helped us enjoy the process. She completely worked with the bridal couple to accommodate their choice of vendors, anticipated problems before they arose, and was calm and capable at all times.”

— Dianne, Mother of the Bride

A stress-free wedding

“My husband and I didn't think we needed a day-of wedding coordinator when we started planning our wedding a year ago. We then realized just how stressful it would be if we didn't have someone to coordinate with different vendors and take care of everything on our wedding day. Heather created a wedding timeline and a floor plan for us. She communicated with all of our vendors and remained calm and professional when we had to change our wedding timeline several times and changed our getting ready locations at the last minute. She was very nice, enthusiastic and easy to get along with. We highly recommend Heather!”

— Anh, bride

Heather is Fantastic!

“Heather was an immense help to us in planning our wedding. She has so much experience with planning and coordinating events so she thinks of thinks of all the small details that are not on most people's radars. She is a joy to work with, super personable, kind and composed. She was very helpful leading up to our wedding in thinking through all of our vendors, the timeline etc. but she was truly a lifesaver the day of our wedding. We had some issues with the timing of our dinner and she remained calm and composed and made sure that the wedding still ran smoothly and everyone had fun. Really can't recommend Heather highly enough.”

— Emily, bride
