Heather and her team were absolutely incredible throughout this entire process. She kept us on a great timeline, found incredible vendors, and generally took a huge load off of our plates during this busy time. Heather also provides a sweet, comforting, and calming presence both on the big day and at every meeting leading up to the wedding. She struck the perfect balance of providing helpful information while also encouraging us to express what we wanted on our day. I came in with not a lot of clarity on what I wanted the day to look like and she was amazing at guiding us and helping craft the perfect wedding. The wedding day was everything we hoped for and more and I could not recommend Heather and the First Coast Wedding team highly enough!!
