After seeing Ira and Lucy’s portfolio and reading their mission statement to design thoughtful and remarkable weddings, I knew they were the perfect team to help me plan my wedding while I was living out of state. From our first phone conversation to our sparkler send off, senior coordinator Victoria Haney went above and beyond to make my wedding day a dream come true. Most importantly, she consistently listened carefully to both my fiancé’s hopes and mine for our wedding day to ensure that all our expectations were met. She remembered even the smallest details I mentioned along the way, calmed my worries no matter what time of day, was creative and innovative when it came to the wedding design, was resourceful and well connected to our vendors, logical when talking through our mutual decision making and exceedingly kind and patient throughout the entire process. I cannot say enough about how Victoria was an advocate for me, my fiancé and my family, in order to make sure the day was everything we all wanted it to be. Victoria is incredibly talented and dedicated to her work. I would (and have already!) recommend Ira and Lucy to anyone planning a wedding, no matter how big or small.

“Where do I begin?! I guess a year ago, when we started this journey with you, with the design board, Kate’s wishes and wants, my “we can’t afford it” comments and thoughts, and the overall wonder of how we were going to pull it all together...Fast forward, and WOW! “Amazing”, “Breathtaking”, “Stunning”, “Gorgeous”, “The Prettiest Ever”, and so many other words that everyone used to describe this most special day for the Arbons & Chens! And it was because of you, Victoria and Ira & Lucy, and your amazing talents that made this wedding an incredible experience! As mother-of-the-bride, my heart is full of gratitude for your guidance with all the details, the hugs of reassurance, the extras, like the cake topper, wine box, and those damn birds (!) and most of all, you taking care of everything on the day of so that I could be-in-the-moment, to feel and experience without a care. There were a couple of a times in my life, when I had cancer, when I wondered if I would live to see my children marry...well, this was beyond what I had imagined, and I thank you so very, very much, for the beautiful memories we now will cherish forever! Victoria, we are so fortunate that you came into our lives, and consider you a friend for life! And Heidi, you can be assured that I have already shared and will continue to speak about the best wedding planning team around!

“Ok- so first of all, AMAZING work at Kate and Terry’s wedding on Saturday. I was blown away by how beautiful every detail was! Serious detail overload and dreamland for me as a photographer! I wished I had 3 hours just for details and flat-lays! The day went by SO FAST! ”

Oh my gosh...what an incredible wedding. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!! You and your team are absolutely incredible. - Maddy, Bride
I have had the WORSE wedding withdrawals ever! It’s such a sad feeling when it’s all over. *:( sad My heart was happy to see your name pop up this morning! I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you did for us. You are an amazing person with a heart of gold. You pulled off Maddy’s special day perfectly. I know how incredibly hard you and your staff work. Everything little tiny thing was done with so much love and attention. I LOVE seeing your “Behind the Scenes” on Instagram! It breaks my heart really!! Maddy and I have been enjoying seeing all your posts of the weddings you have been working on. We giggle because we are actually” jealous” they get to spend time you. You make the planning process so special and fun, we didn’t want it to end. You have a talent beyond words but combine it with so much love and that’s what make you so special. We have had endless compliments on the wedding thanks to you. The venue turned out spectacular and when we walked into to dinner, it was truly a wonderland. Just gorgeous and thanks to Kara, it smelled so good! I can’t wait for our pictures! I thought the sneak peeks were so awesome! We appreciate you to no end!!!! I don’t know how I could ever thank you enough. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. I will recommend you to everyone I know!! - Jenny, MOB

FIRST LOOK WITH THE BRIDE AND HER FATHER
This is one of those moments we take care to plan... The hustle and quick pace of a wedding day has to be planned with recognizing important moments. When we know our clients have a very close relationship with their parents, we take time to make sure the mother of the bride is present to help her daughter get into her gown, followed by a first look with the bride and her Dad. It doesn't take too much time, but it's a thoughtful time to allow a moment to connect and honor the bride's parents.

#corndogwedding
Maddy and I had a running joke that this was the summer of the #corndogwedding When Maddy came to me that she wanted a late night snack for her guests and dreamed of a food truck...well let's say many many hours were spent contacting every food truck in this entire state! With summer being peak "food truck" season... we had to get creative and Horsewood Catering did on site fresh corn dog station and it was a HUGE hit! Success!
“OMG! Can I go back to Saturday!? I’ve told you this a million times, but I mean it more and more every time I tell you, you’re amazing Heidi. You have a true talent and I’m so thankful for you.”
Maddy and Cameron... what an incredible experience! Thank YOU for inviting my team and I to be part of this special time with your families. I just adore you both and will treasure our lifelong friendship! I am so blessed by you guys and am seriously missing you like crazy already! I'm so grateful that our paths crossed. Thank you for your trust! Thank you for allowing me to create and dream with you. I'll forever love corn dogs!
To the vendor team! Thank you for your dedication to making this wedding spectacular! I'm so grateful to each of you! To my team.... you guys are rock stars! The hard work! The hustle! The joy and laughter and care in every detail! I'm so proud of you!!!!

When you have an iffy forecast, sometimes you have to make decisions on the fly... oh how bad did we want our ceremony in the gardens, but thunderstorms were moving through the area for a couple days and we had 30 mph winds headed our way... so, up went the tent and a quick change to our Rainy Day plan! It worked out well and we are glad we made it happen. As the Bride entered the tent, gusts of wind started up and while it wasn't rain... it was a lot of wind. Thank you Tates Tents and Events for getting this up for us!

The Reveal....
This was thee moment mother-of-the-bride, Kathy, and I had been dreaming of and working so hard for. Kathy was a dream of a mother to work with! Her creative talents were inspiring and bouncing ideas off of one-another was such a special experience. I'm so proud to have done this beside her... Kathy, I'll never forget this moment and I'm so excited we were able to keep the dance floor a HUGE surprise! Thank you Sound Wave for working with us and the many many revisions we did to get the dance floor and lighting just right!
“I hope you know how wonderful the night was for us! Like I told you that evening, it was like a dream! When I asked Kara what she thought during dinner she said she felt like she was at a celebrity wedding. Jan-Michael said he wanted to do it all again but experience it as a guest! Really, we are so appreciative and I am sorry it has ended too. I know it will be a day that all of us will remember fondly and it wouldn’t have been nearly as wonderful without you! If I could afford it I would have given you your weight in GOLD!!!”
