FAQ
About Our Wedding Planning Services
What kinds of wedding planning services do you offer?
We offer full service wedding planning, partial wedding planning, and wedding coordination, also known as wedding management. We also offer wedding design and decorating, or can customize a package to fit your individual needs.
What is a Boutique Wedding Planning firm?
When you hire a boutique wedding planning firm, you’re choosing a personalized experience from start to finish. Our approach is intentionally hands-on. We take on a select number of weddings each year so we can give every couple the time, attention, and care they truly deserve.
Unlike large firms with rotating teams, you’ll work directly with your lead planner throughout the entire process. The same person who learns your story, and dreams with you, is there on your wedding day to bring it all to life, and celebrate your joy.
How do I know if Heirloom Weddings & Events is the right fit for me?
We understand how important it is to have the right professionals by your side as you navigate this wonderful, exciting, and sometimes stressful journey we call wedding planning. Consider the following questions to determine if we may be the right fit for you:
Would strong communication, and genuine connection create a planning environment that feels calm, collaborative, and personal to you?
Do you value personalized attention, knowing your wedding isn’t one of many, but one of a kind?
Is consistency & trust, always knowing who is reading and answering your email and going to be on your next meeting, important to you?
Would you appreciate Intentional design where every decision reflects your personality and story?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions we’re confident we could be a perfect fit. We value connection, authenticity, and a high-touch experience, creating personalized, timeless, meaningful celebrations full of memories you’ll treasure forever. We have the experience, and systems to do so in a way that feels seamless, and stress free. Call us crazy, but we believe wedding planning should be fun!
My venue requires a wedding coordinator, can you help?
Absolutely! Most premium wedding venues in Utah require couples to have, at a minimum, a wedding coordinator on site on their wedding day. Our Essentials Wedding Coordination Service is perfect for you if you are confident in planning your wedding, but need a professional to manage your day and finalize the details with your venue and vendors.
Do you offer day-of-wedding coordination?
Yes & no. We will always be onsite to coordinate your day, no matter which of our services you select. However, we understand that the final weeks leading up to your wedding are crucial, with deadlines and decisions that need addressed in a very short period of time. For this reason we prefer to begin working with our coordination couples several weeks prior to the wedding day. We offer a robust wedding coordination/wedding management service with planner access beginning 10-12 weeks prior to your wedding day. This allows us to become immersed in the details of your day, review contracts, establish a relationship with the vendor team we’ll be managing day-of, develop and distribute a detailed professional timeline, and support you in the final weeks leading up to your big day. This ensures the most seamless experience for all.
Who will I work with?
We are a boutique wedding planning firm. This means we’re a small team offering a high level of personalized service.
If you select our Full Service Wedding Planning you’ll work directly with Marla, our owner & founder.
If you select our Guided Planning, or Essentials Coordination package you will be paired with either Courtney, Marla or Amanda; depending on availability, the needs of your event, and personality.
All of our planners are exceptional and experienced. Each have assistants who work with them behind the scenes, and on event days offering additional support. We’ll match you with the wedding professional who we know will be the best fit for you & your event. You are also welcome to request the planner of your choice and we’ll see what we can do to make it happen.
When should I hire my wedding planner or coordinator?
You should hire your wedding planner, or coordinator as early in the process as possible. We accept a limited number of weddings per month, so you’ll want to be sure to secure your date on our calendar.
By bringing us onboard early in the process we’ll be able to use our knowledge of Utah area wedding planning to help you secure the best vendors for your wedding that align with your vision, and investment level.
If you are hiring us for wedding coordination we still recommend you book us early in the process. We’ll provide you a curated list of vendors & planning resources to start you off on the right track, check in with you along the way, and be a resource to you in case you encounter any bumps on your wedding planning journey.
