  • Best Planner Ever!

    From our very first call with Laura, we knew we’d found the right planner. While most planners kick off with a pitch about their style, Laura immediately focused on us: our vision, our priorities, and our budget. That personal approach never wavered throughout the process. One of the biggest reasons we wanted to hire a planner was to avoid the overwhelm of sourcing vendors. Laura handled that seamlessly—using her strong network and existing relationships to curate 2–4 excellent options for us, rather than leaving us scrolling through hundreds online. Every vendor we selected through her was a perfect fit, and her coordination with them made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, everything was immaculate. If there were any issues behind the scenes, we never knew about them because Laura solved them quickly and quietly. Every detail was executed flawlessly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving—from the food, to the décor, to the flow of the evening. We heard over and over again: “This is the best wedding I’ve ever been to.” As people who love hosting and entertaining, it was incredibly meaningful that our guests felt so cared for and that every detail reflected our vision. For anyone considering a planner, my advice is to choose someone like Laura who not only has strong vendor connections but who also takes the time to deeply understand your vision. That’s what made all the difference for us. Laura didn’t just plan our wedding—she brought our dream to life. Photos: Shelly Anderson Photography

    McArthur Weddings (and Heli S. in particular) was incredible - we are so glad that we hired them to coordinate our wedding at North Star Gatherings this summer. We had 3 planning sessions with her prior to our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and we left each one feeling even more excited and confident about our wedding than we did going in. Heli’s organizational skills are excellent, and all of her emails and spreadsheets are perfectly formatted and laid out such that you will be able to save so much time and stress throughout the course of planning. Our wedding day also went precisely according to plan, no doubt in large part because Heli had all of our vendors marching to the beat of her drum. Finally, she was wonderful during our rehearsal dinner and on the day of our wedding. She had such a calm and trusting presence, especially with our families, and was able to make people naturally feel like everything is going perfectly - even while she is dealing with a million moving pieces. I am so glad that we hired McArthur Weddings because they truly saved us so much time and stress throughout this process.

    Working with McArthur Weddings & Events was a dream! They made the whole process, stress-free, easy, and FUN. I highly recommend doing their design package as they are so talented and can make your vision board come to life. The documents, timeline, and resources shared by this team are unmatched. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for support on their wedding day.

    Working with McArthur (specifically Heli!) was spectacular. The communication and attention to detail were second to none. Heli promptly answered any questions about design, timeline, etc. and we could not be happier with how she made our wedding vision come to life. It snowed the week of our wedding and we were worried we’d be unable to have our ceremony outside, but Heli went above and beyond to make sure we got the outdoor ceremony we dreamed of. When there were some last minute changes to the guest count, Heli & Laura were extremely adaptable and flexible and made sure we did not have to stress about a single thing. The day flowed seamlessly and everyone had a blast. Highly recommend working with Heli & Laura for any event!
