I worked with YHD for my wedding on April 2, 2011. We hired Michelle to be our day of planner and…read moreshe was excellent. We live in Modesto, CA and Michelle helped us plan our wedding from 700 miles away. Our first meeting was professional as well as comfortable. My self, fiancé, dad and step-mom met with Michelle at Starbucks and she had a folder of information ready for us, we worked through a preliminary budget, helping all parties to understand exactly what the wedding we wanted will cost. I was very upfront about my budget, $10k, and was given the same courtesy from Michelle about their rates. Her rate quoted to us for day of planning was $2k in 2010, but she gave us a discount because the full $2k was not in our budget. Michelle gave us unlimited email contact from the day we met and was available for deliveries the day before and the day of the event. The email contact was very helpful. Each time I got a finalized contract from a caterer, photographer, party rental facility, etc. I would email it to Michelle for review. She helped me to negotiate services into my contract and reminded me of anything I had forgotten to ask. The service provided the day before and the day of the wedding was fantastic. Michelle came to the venue the day before to meet rental deliveries and set up all tables and chairs. She also ran the rehearsal even though we started about 45 minutes late. The day of Michelle was at the venue about 6 hours before start time, meeting all vendors, making all payments for us, making sure everyone in the wedding party was on time and knew where they were supposed to be. She offered moral support to me was available for anything I needed. My goal for a wedding planner was to have someone help my day be stress free. Michelle of YHD made this possible. I had a hard time with my dad accepting that we wanted/needed a wedding planner, he thought most of the wedding "wasn't necessary". He said we could have done everything without her, I don't think that's true for a second. I was sitting in my bridal suite, sipping on wine and water, waiting for someone to tell me it was time to start. Without Michelle, I probably would have been setting up candles, flowers, checking on the food, is there enough ice at the bar, in a robe, with my hair half done, while my guests were arriving. I would highly recommend Your Heart's Desire for your full wedding planning, or day of services. No matter how much you think you have your wedding under control, you will want to have someone else running the show behind the scenes. With this service, you are able to be a guest at your own wedding.

Brandy took the time with us over two meetings to get everything in line, answered emails promptly, went thru all of our vendor contracts and gave us pointers on everything and just honestly made our whole wedding day have zero stress. She did all the little details that we did not want to be concerned with on the day of the wedding and she has an eye for detail and really helped make our vision better than we could have ever expected. We also had her do a candy bar and it was a huge hit with everyone and she made that process so easy as well.

My wedding flowers were seriously nothing but AMAZING!…read more I had a budget and Amanda figured out how to get use of every penny of it! It looked like we spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on our wedding when we didnt at all! Our wedding was HUGE and Amanda was totally capable of handling our flower load!

I mentioned to her that my husband loved suculants...and on his wedding day she found a itty bitty one inch big suculant and put it in his boutineer! ONE bridal bouquet that was simply breath taking!

My husband and son picked up the florals just before the ceremony at Amanda's home office, our order was so small and the ceremony was nearby, so it was better to pick up the flowers ourselves. The one and only error on the order was there were supposed to be ribbons around each centerpiece vase. But we easily tied some extra ribbon around each vase at the ceremony venue. The bride loved the bouquets, the centerpieces were lovely, we were very pleased with all the florals. Amanda added eucalyptus leaves as an accent to the vases and bouquets, all looked beautiful. They truly lasted and were used on Thursday at both the ceremony and reception venues, then again on Saturday at a second informal reception at the newlyweds' home. Amanda is very creative and is a total flower nut, and I say that as a compliment. My daughter wanted a very traditional "look" and was a tiny bit nervous about Amanda, since she features very unusual florals on her website. But Amanda "delivered" with fresh and beautiful flowers in the right colors, the bouquets sized exactly right, and charming accents. Butterfly Petals gets an A minus, only because the ribbons were not on the vases as specified in the order. I would have no hesitation in recommending Butterfly Petals.

What can we say... WOW! Boojum Tree was the wedding venue of our dreams! The venue itself is so…read morebeautiful, perfectly matching our vibe with its greenery, eclectic decorations, warm lights, stone, wood, and water features. The settings within it are so varied and fun to hang out in and explore, and many of our guests came to tell us how gorgeous it was. Moving on from looks, Boojum Tree also has fantastic package deals, which made planning for the wedding so much less stressful from out of state. To have a set of great vendors already included (bar, catering, DJ, and day-of-coordinator), as well as decorations, silverware, linens, chairs, ceremony equipment, etc etc was the best thing and really helped us be present and enjoy our wedding. Our day-of-coordinator, Jennifer, was also incredible! She took great care of us, staying organized, moving around flowers and decorations, ensuring our wedding favors were at each table, coordinating with our other vendors, helping with an emergency dress bustling, keeping us on time, and hundreds of other things that we did not see behind the scenes. She clearly works hard and is amazing at what she does. This was the perfect venue for the best day of our lives and booking with Boojum was the single best decision we made. We cannot sing their praises enough and could not have had the wedding we did without them. We are so thankful to the team that made it happen!

On our wedding day, Dana did an amazing job at timing and coordinating vendors to line up all the little details. Our guests were quite impressed with how well organized and beautiful our wedding was. When a mishap happened, Dana dealt with it like a true professional and took proper steps to ensure we had the most wonderful experience with her service.

I feel so confident about the way our wedding plans are coming together thanks to Charlee. She's made my life and my mom's life so easy because we are working with her. Charlee is the woman behind Signature Events. She's been in the business for over 18 years and you can tell - she knows what she is doing! Charlee is on top of every single detail - she's creative, fun, and a pleasure to work with. Charlee has helped us with everything from finding a venue, entertainment, transportation, photographer, florist, cake, food selection, invitations, and so much more. Without Charlee's help, I'd be a stress case ready to explode. I cannot thank Charlee enough for all she's helped with so far... of course, I will update this after the big day, but I'm confident that it will be more special than I could ever imagine thanks to the expertise of Signature Events.

She was so helpful throughout the planning process. We were having a destination wedding and she was able to meet us at our venue in Sedona, and then at the rental company location to pick out all of our rentals. At both the venue and rental company, Cara jumped to action and immediately started visualizing the event, taking notes as to where everything would be set up, and providing great suggestions. I remember after we were finished at the rental company, my husband and I were driving back to Phoenix and we both felt so relieved to have Cara helping us. We realized that she had a plethora of knowledge and she made sure that we wouldn't be over-paying for anything. There were many emails and several phone conversations with Cara, and she was always ready to answer any questions that I had. I was not the least bit worried about the coordination of things for wedding day. Cara was well organized, and made sure she was well prepared and informed on our vendors, timeline, wedding party and guests of honor, music selections, decoration placement, and everything else you could imagine. She was also very good at keeping documentation of conversations, sent emails, and other pertinent information regarding the vendors. Her preparedness helped out immensely when there were a couple of snags that happened on wedding day. If the aforementioned doesn't convince you that you need to have A Day to Cherish in your wedding planning life, Cara went above and beyond even after we got married! While we were on honeymoon for 3 weeks she worked on resolving an issue we had with the transportation vendor. She emailed us progress updates, which made it easy for us to continue where she left off when we returned. I can only imagine how busy Cara must be, so for her to help us out after our wedding was absolutely amazing!

Wedding planning in general is difficult, even if there's a whole year to plan, but it's even far more difficult when you only have one month to do so. Tasha made sure everything went smoothly. Her problem-solving skills are off the charts. She is able to adjust herself to her clients way immediately, and she is so sharp in knowing within a few days what her clients truly want. She is so respectful and understanding of different cultures. One of the most important things to us was being able to communicate with her and get a response immediately especially because we had such a short time to plan the wedding and tasha was always available. Her optimism was extremely calming in difficult situations. Even two months after the wedding was over. When she learned we had trouble with one of the vendors she intervened, and once again, was able to solve the problem with her amazing optimism and action taking abilities tasha truly cares about her clients and definitely makes you feel she's a part of your family holding your hands through the whole process and beyond. I highly recommend Tasha and I'm a very picky mother if the bride who seeks perfection and a bit hard to work with because of that and even with that Tasha scored 100%!

Tara is excellent, and honestly she was critical in making our wedding so special. We had her for…read more"day-of coordination" and she made it 100% painless. Starting a few weeks before the wedding, we handed over our plans to her and she reviewed everything and asked questions to make sure she know what we wanted. Her years of experience made her an excellent advisor on the last minute details, and there were at least two or three things we wouldn't have thought to plan for, but she knew. Here's an example of why she is great: what if your bartender thought the end time was 10pm, but we thought it was 11pm? And, by the way, it's 9:45 and they want to do last call. Tara is right there - she knew this was about to happen because the bartender had been coordinating with her all night, she knew our plan was 11pm, and so she approached us very calmly and quietly and asked if we meant to close it at 10pm. We said no, we thought it was 11pm and people were still having fun, so could we keep it open until 10:30 or 11 as planned? Off she went off and took care of it without another word or input from us. It took us seconds, not minutes of negotiating with the bartender, so we could get back to partying. All night, she kept track of time, kept track of vendors, set up those final details we didn't have time to setup, and many, many other unseen things we may never know about. At the end of the night, she had everything we were taking with us packed up, including leftover food and cake, so when the driver called her to say he was ready for us, she could let us know. When we were ready, she made sure we got the things we wanted to take and off we went. Throughout the whole day, we had nothing to worry about except enjoying the wedding. It was one of the best decisions we made, and I would do it again no matter our budget!

We had trouble with too much moisture on the bottom deck of our wedding cake and it collapsed! Tara rearranged the cake and basically redecorated it with my toppers along with my sister to still make it look beautiful last minute! And there was still cake left over. She helped with clean-up and last minute arrangements with the vendors. She had recommendations for saving money. Thanks Tara for making it special!

We met with Cassidy several times during the planning stages and she was always very professional and organized. She helped me feel at ease when the stress of planning a wedding had me at my worst. On the day of the wedding we had typical wedding day hiccups... the power went out in the entire town of Telluride up until 2 hours prior to the wedding, the DJ couldn't figure out how to get the iPod to work for the ceremony music (he needed to turn up the volume), and in typical bride fashion, I forgot our marriage license at the hotel!!!!, but Cassidy took control of the situation and was there to keep it all together.... No one even noticed there was a problem! These seemingly small issues could have ruined my day, but having Cassidy there allowed me to relax and enjoy my wedding, just as a bride should.
