Caitie + Phil's Stanley Wedding
You guys are champs! Happiness is an understatement, and I’m speaking for both my husband and I and my parents. You guys went above and beyond. It was literally everything we could have dreamed of and so much more. Every detail was perfect and we knew we didn’t have to worry about anything. I have never seen my parents in such good moods. Every single guest said it was literally the best wedding ever and I know they weren’t bs’ing me. We blew people’s minds while we married our best friend and that’s the effect we wanted :) - Katie

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

“Oh my gosh...what an incredible wedding. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!! You and your team are absolutely incredible.”
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!!!!

Brooke and Michael's Tamarack Wedding
Choosing Ira + Lucy was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We used their ‘Enhanced Day-Of Coordination’ package. We were on a tight budget and struggled with the idea of spending money on something that we couldn’t quite conceptualize, but felt very strongly about not wanting our friends and family to have to set up and take down our wedding. Once we met Victoria we realized why we needed her!! Always sweet and professional, she is an excellent problem solver and helped us with some major issues right off the bat. She would come over, check on us frequently, and took the time to get to know us. I literally want to frame the ‘concept boards’ she sent us - whenever the wedding seemed stressful I always would look at them because they reminded us of the important things we wanted, and looked like OUR wedding!

“On the wedding day, she and the team absolutely delivered. She shielded me from the chaos of a wind and rainstorm (for our outside reception) and the team actually ended up moving everything inside and back outside again when the weather cleared up. It was so much extra work for them and the whole team remained professional and on the ball the entire time. All the other vendors absolutely loved them. Victoria quietly and calmly presented us with options whenever something went wrong and we were able to enjoy every second of our wedding. If you are on the fence like we were, it was the best money we spent. I feel like we can’t thank her enough and we have made a true friend! Despite being able to handle huge luxurious weddings, they also were able to meet us where we were at for our smaller, rustic wedding and never pushed our budget. In fact, Victoria suggested many ways for us to save money that we hadn’t considered. I’m positive she went above and beyond for us multiple times, and don’t want to make promises outside the packages offered, so I will just say if you have Victoria on your team, you will not regret it! I wish I got a picture with her on our wedding day!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with your company last weekend at Tamarack. Victoria was extraordinary under tough weather circumstances. She was the perfect blend of very nice and accommodating, but assertive when necessary. She had the diplomacy of a United Nations representative! We had to move all the tables inside a hall because of wind and rain, and back out again when sunshine returned. Can’t thank her enough!
”
From Planner Victoria
This weekend was amazing, crazy, beautiful, rainy, perfect, sunny, gorgeous, windy...but most of all, it was full of love!
Where do I start with these two??? From my first meeting with Brooke and Mike about a year ago at a Starbucks in Nampa, my first impression was "wow...now that is love". Brooke wasn't expecting Mike to be at the meeting because of work conflicts, but he showed up about 5 minutes after we started. I could almost see her heart skip a beat ️ For the rest of the meeting they sat no more than an inch away from one another and were always checking in with one another on questions, ideas, and design.
From then on every meeting we had was filled with the same amount of care, love, and overall joy.
Fast forward to wedding day...
All of that love and joy I've been speaking of, well I know where they get it! I met parents, siblings, best friends, aunts, uncles, and so many more people that are a part of their lives and they all are just as kind as our lovely bride and groom.
Not only did we reset the reception from outside in the courtyard at beautiful Tamarack Resort, but then the family and friends help us move it all out again! Don't you just love Idaho weather?!?!
A huge thank you to all of the amazing vendors for your help and flexibility during the initial rain storm, then again during the wind storm, and yet again to move back outside when the weather finally decided to cooperate. We were all able to give the bride and groom the day of their dreams!

Winter Wedding at Barber Park
WINTER WEDDING AT BARBER PARK EVENT CENTER
BOISE, ID | LAKEN FULTON PHOTOGRAPHY
There is something so romantic about a winter wedding! Frost on the ground, cozy shawls, hot cocoa bars, candlelight and a cake to dream about! I so enjoyed designing this wedding! In hopes of giving this bride her dreamy winter feel, I painted wood cuts for design details and created a fabulous interactive hot cocoa bar. A "cozy up" lounge welcomed guests to sit back and enjoy the celebration and as the sun set and warm candlelight filled the room.
“Heidi went WAY above and beyond to make our day special. Without her I would have been a disaster in the months leading up to our reception. She always had amazing ideas and helped us put together a team of people to make our day run so smoothly!”
THE CAKE
This cake was the Bride's one thing she was most excited for! I'm so happy with how perfect it turned out and so thankful I made the call to move the table out of a window spot to this fabulous wood backdrop! It helped the entire cake focus stand out as a gorgeous focal point!
