    HEI Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was efficient, detailed, and highly organized, which put our minds at ease during the planning process. The team was thoughtful, attentive, and diligent in ensuring our wedding day went off without a hitch. They seamlessly coordinated 5 of our vendors, allowing my husband and I to truly enjoy the celebration. We are so grateful to HEI Events for making our special day as perfect as we had dreamed.

    I continue to be amazed by Amanda’s professionalism, organization, and grace under pressure. She’s incredibly attentive to every couple’s vision and makes sure no detail is overlooked. Her sweet and calm demeanor helps put everyone at ease, even in high-stress moments. At a recent wedding, when the weather unexpectedly turned bad, she handled the situation flawlessly. She quickly came up with solutions and kept everything running smoothly, ensuring the couple still had the perfect day. Working with Amanda has been an inspiring experience, and it’s clear why her clients trust her with one of the most important days of their lives.

    As a vendor who has worked with Amanda and the team at HEI Events, I can say they provide clear, straightforward and timely communication throughout the planning process. They demonstrate strong work ethics, are highly organized, and excel at time management. Amanda is a sweetheart to work with - she goes above and beyond for the wedding couples and is one of the most organized planners I've had the pleasure of collaborating with. HEI Events' attention to detail and commitment to making the special day a success was truly impressive.
