“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

Karli + David's Fall Idaho Willowbridge Wedding
Where to even begin with Ira and Lucy! They were the very first decision that we made in planning our wedding, and also the best. We were lucky enough to work with Erin as our senior coordinator. Within planning a wedding, it is impossible that everything goes smoothly, but through the ups and downs, Erin walked alongside us and made sure we made the right decisions and that everything was going to work out perfectly for us. She spent so much time meeting with us, working tirelessly on our wedding, Facetime calls, vendor meetings, etc. and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. She made sure that we left no stone unturned as we planned this day, so that the day of the wedding we would have nothing to worry about. She communicated with vendors and made sure everything was properly coordinated. She was simply amazing. I seriously cannot imagine what planning our wedding would have been like without Erin. - Karli

She communicated with vendors and made sure everything was properly coordinated. She was simply amazing. I seriously cannot imagine what planning our wedding would have been like without Erin.
We had some inclement weather forecasted for the day of the wedding, and Erin and Ira and Lucy helped us secure a tent last minute for the ceremony so that we could move forward with the outdoor ceremony we had hoped for. Erin didn’t even bat an eye when we had to make major changes to layouts just a few days before the ceremony, and made sure that every changed detail was still absolutely perfect.
On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless. The venue looked like something out of a magazine, thanks to Erin’s ability to take our vision and bring it to life. We did not have to worry about anything the whole day of the wedding, and were able to enjoy time with our bridal party, friends, family and each other. Having them there removed almost all stress we felt around our wedding day, and everything ran so smoothly. We have had countless family and friends tell us how amazing the wedding was, how well the timeline flowed, how beautiful everything looked…and it is all thanks to Ira and Lucy. Erin and her team were outstanding at executing every little detail we had planned.
Having attended many weddings in the Boise area, I can confidently say that Ira and Lucy is the premier wedding planning/coordinating company in the area. We cannot even imagine having planned our wedding without the guidance and help of Ira and Lucy. It was the most valuable and important piece in bringing our dream wedding to life. If you choose Ira and Lucy to help you with your big day, you will not regret it.”

We had the pleasure of having Ira + Lucy plan our dream wedding. Heidi truly understood what we envisioned our wedding to look and feel like. She was attentive to my needs, even when I'd text her frantically at all hours of the night. She and her staff made our wedding day more than perfect, there were NO stones left unturned. I can't recommend her enough!

Leah + Bart
These two are the epitome of laid back (though Leah likes to say “easy peasy”)! From our first meeting, I had to contain my excitement about their modern minimalism vision! I left the consultation with fingers and toes crossed hoping they decided to book with us...and they did!
I loved the planning process with these two and learning more and more about them. A few months into the process, we had some sad news that Leah was diagnosed with skin cancer. But, in true Leah fashion, that too was easy peasy! She took her arm sling off the day before engagement photos and still rocked the session even without being able to do her normal hair/makeup...and still looked gorgeous. Oh, and I’ll also mention that they had to replace their septic system, had some emergency vet visits for their pup AND Leah was traveling for a solid 1.5 months RIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING! Like seriously...she flew back into town 2 days prior to saying “I do”.

And the whole time they were both cool, calm and collected. Check out the photos from this inspiring/refreshing design!
Bart and Leah - thank you for letting us be a part of your day!

I've worked as a professional photographer for twelve years and worked with so many wedding coordinators over the years and Heidi and her team are absolutely the best of the best. They are everything you want from a wedding vendor, professional and extremely good at what they do, while also be really enjoyable to work with. If you want your wedding in great hands, they are the people to hire. - Johanna and Sebastian’s Photographer, Bryan Rupp
