| Description | The ideal creative package to define your style and curate the perfect wedding. As a full-service planner, we will take on the responsibility of planning and executing every aspect of your big day, from the early planning stages to the day of event.

Couples can choose to focus on the areas of wedding planning where they need the most assistance while still having the flexibility to handle other aspects on their own. | This 6 week package focuses on the month leading up to a wedding, typically a busy and exciting time filled with last-minute preparations and final touches. This package is designed for couples who have taken care of most of the wedding planning themselves but recognize the need for a professional planner to step in during the critical last month to ensure a seamless and stress-free wedding experience. |

A Perfect Experience
Working with Heirloom was about as perfect of an experience as one could hope for. I’ve collaborated with a lot of planners over the years, and few bring the combination of warmth, professionalism, and precision that Heirloom does. Their team made the day flow effortlessly — every moment was beautifully timed, and they created space for creativity while keeping everything on track. Communication was clear from start to finish, and the couple felt calm, cared for, and completely present — which always leads to better footage. I’d work with Heirloom again in a heartbeat, and I recommend them to any couple (or vendor) who wants a thoughtfully executed, truly memorable event.
Best Planner Imaginable
When we began planning our wedding, we had no intention of hiring a planner. Our sense was that wedding planners were a luxury item, who found ways to spend more and more money to create an event with a lot of useless accoutrements we’d regret over time. In the end, however, our greatest regret about our wedding is not having hired a planner – and this planner in particular – much earlier. We had thought we knew what we needed to know (find a place and music and throw a party), but of course there was so much we didn’t about what else was needed. Haylie took us on when we were in desperate condition, having picked locations for our ceremony and reception, but with not nearly enough time to get everything necessary done, and raced with us to the glorious finish line. Never pressuring, but always letting us know what needed to be done that week, or that day, Haylie led us through the morass of finding catering, bakers, lighting, décor, flowers, furniture, and all the minutiae we’d never thought of. But most importantly, she wasn’t someone working to find ways for us to spend more money to make this event more elite; rather, she constantly helped us find less expensive alternatives, always honoring our particular tastes and creative ideals. As one example, before we started working with her, we’d created a small Engagement Event in the groom’s home town, for relatives who wouldn’t be able to make the wedding. A photographer there had taken surprisingly excellent pictures of us. So while we were looking for an L.A. photographer we could afford, Haylie contacted the hometown one, and found that we could fly her out, board her, and have her shoot the wedding, more cheaply than we could find anyone here. Even above her professionalism and knowledge, Haylie’s greatest asset is her ebullient and spunky personality. Speaking with her was always fun and energizing, with her joyously finding ways to get us excited about what we had to do next. And this showed, not only in her relationship with us, but in the ways she worked with the vendors, locations, officiant, musicians… everyone simply had a better time because we had Haylie and her crew. We fully recommend Haylie to anyone planning a wedding, small, medium, or large. The only negative we have about her is that, as we fully intend to stay together for the rest of our lives, we have no reason to hire her ourselves again. If we did, we would.
Haylie is such a fantastic wedding planner!
I've worked with many different wedding planners as a musician for weddings (pianist, arranger, music director). Haylie is so wonderful to work with! She makes the process so joyful, is thorough with the details, and a wonderful communicator. All of the advanced planned was a huge support, and the day-of was easeful, and a beautiful experience.
Unmatched Professionalism
As the leader of a premiere Big Band in Los Angeles, we've dealt with a LOT of planners for large events over the 26 year history of our orchestra - some of whom have been good, and some, well, not as good. Then, along comes Haylie and Heirloom Event Company to set a new standard of professionalism and expertise. Haylie was brought in late in the game to handle a VERY complicated wedding, with WAY too many moving parts. In the sparse time prior, she brought order to the unfolding plan, and on the day of the wedding in spite of multiple challenges and last minute changes, she calmly took charge with respect and admirable skill to Make Things Happen, and bring about an amazing result. I also commend her team for their commitment, caring, and willingness to go the extra mile - no doubt inspired by the leadership at the head of the company. If you want the very best professional to helm your event, you will not find ANYONE better than Haylie and Heirloom Event Company. Bill A. Jones The Big Band Alumni Orchestra www.BigBandAlumni.com
