It has taken me awhile to write a review for Heather at Vintage&Lace because I cannot put into words how amazing she and her company is. Heather was a life saver, a friend, and truly the best person to ever help us plan our wedding. Heather's rates are incredibly affordable for her expertise and connections. My husband proposed to me in February 2021 with the goal of us getting married in September 2021. I was very overwhelmed with the idea of planning a wedding an did not know what to do. So I procrastinated until about the end of April when I realized I was in way over my head. We contacted Heather based off of previous reviews and affordability. After hiring Heather, she took the reins on the wedding and kicked it into high gear. She gave us so many referrals and contacts from photographers to caterers to wedding runner suggestions. She was so professional and knowledgeable about each task and partnered with me in getting it all done. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is ORGANIZED! She has a master spreadsheet which is KILLER for anyone who loves a good Excel. She had everything itemized and thought out to the button on when/where to do things. With her by my side, I knew my wedding was going to be perfect. She helped with design/vision ideas and with calling vendors up. We contacted Heather at a short notice that we were going to walk-through our venue and she was there ready and armed with her iPad to take notes and show visual ideas. Heather can also act as a day-of-coordinator or will have one of her experienced professionals assist. Victoria was our DOC and was absolutely the sweetest. On the day of the wedding, she bought me coffee and effortlessly jumped into it all. When my matron of honor's dress ripped in half, she didn't even bat an eye! She was incredible! I will never forget our conversations with each other either -- it felt like we were good friends by the end of the day and I had only known her for 10 hours! Heather is the BEST wedding planner in the Austin area and beyond. She was so good that she even helped my twin sister plan her wedding. I cannot thank Heather and Victoria enough. read more

There aren't adequate words for how awesome Heather is and how thankful my husband and I are that we booked Vintage & Lace for our wedding last month, but here goes! We were already leaning toward hiring a coordinator but then our venue (Ma Maison) required us to have one so we contacted their entire list of preferred vendors for coordinators and we are so glad we did because that's how we found Heather from Vintage & Lace!! Of all of the planners and coordinators we talked to, I was just immediately drawn to how warm, friendly, AND organized she is. Heather is an absolute pro with countless weddings under her belt, but still so kind and easy to talk to. Then, despite planning our wedding from another city, Heather made it SO easy and smooth. We technically only booked her for day-of coordination (with full communication/access the month prior) but from day one, she was still always available via call, email, text, whathaveyou, no matter when or what kind of (ridiculous, I'm sure) questions I had. We didn't actually meet Heather in person until our rehearsal the day before our wedding, and she was an absolute ROCK STAR the entire weekend. She managed to wrangle our large wedding party (14 bridesmaids and groomsmen) and all of our family (including bilingual and non-native English speakers, as well as divorced family) with both grace and authority. It's also worth noting we had several extras (a Chinese tea ceremony before our wedding ceremony, two large shuttles to transport our guests to and from Dripping Springs, getting Whataburger delivered to our venue for a late night snack) and Heather handled EVERYTHING seamlessly. Anything I thought of or had concerns about, she handled before I even voiced them to her! If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I have no idea what it was, because Heather was ON it. She was also incredibly thoughtful and adaptable, from my mom wanting to move the cake-cutting earlier, to making sure all of our belongings were packed away and that we had plenty of snacks and drinks in our getaway car. Her day-of assistant, Jasmine, was also so helpful and sweet. They both made the entire weekend just a wonderful, fun, amazing experience where we got to fully enjoy getting married and celebrating with family and friends. I can't recommend Heather and Vintage & Lace more highly -- BOOK HER NOW! I won't say "you won't regret it," but rather, you'll regret it if you don't! Heather, thank you thank you thank you SO much for all your hard work and support in making sure our wedding was an amazing, dreamy, unforgettable experience! read more

Six weeks before my wedding, I panicked and contacted a multitude of wedding planners and coordinators. Due to COVID, I was exhausted from cancelling an overseas wedding and dealing with two reschedules; I could no longer handle all of the logistics. Enter Heather. She was quick to respond and schedule a meeting with me and my then fiancee to discuss details. She was calm, interested, and prepared. She assuaged my panic and let me know that 6 weeks for a 30 person wedding was easy peasy. I cannot recommend Heather enough! With my hectic work schedule, she contacted me via email as my preference. We are based in Philadelphia, and while we didn't meet until the day before the wedding, you definitely couldn't tell as everything went off without a hitch. Well if there was anything wrong during the ceremony and reception, we had no idea. She handled all of our vendors seamlessly and made everyone feel safe during the pandemic. I definitely know now that we couldn't have pulled it off without her! read more

I don't even know where to begin with how amazing Heather from V&L was during the 15 months of planning my wedding. I knew she was perfect the minute I met her, not only from her incredible taste and style, but because she is a genuinely kind & caring person. I always felt kind of weird getting the normal questions from people and other brides like, "So are you really stressed with planning the wedding and going to school full time?" because honestly, I wasn't stressed in the slightest! Heather made everything so easy and I never had to worry if all my bases were covered. I even brought her with me to find a dress after the first one I purchased just wasn't the right one. It was so nice to have a third party who made me feel no pressure and really allowed me to choose the perfect dress based on my feelings alone. The day of the wedding was just FUN, the only time I got anxious was when I thought I was crazy for NOT being anxious! Heather had everything scheduled to the minute and really provided the absolute dream team of vendors. I had The Bird & The Bear for my photos & video, Sweet Treets for the cakes, and Gretchen from Petals Ink. for the flowers. Everything was incredibly perfect and the wedding is being featured on Wedding Chicks in July! If you want your wedding planning to be the best time of your life, then you need Heather on your team! Oh you want to see some of the photos from my wedding??? Don't even threaten me with such a good time! read more

Selecting Heather to be our planner was probably the best wedding decision we made. After trying to do some of the design work ourselves, we even ended up hiring Heather for portions of that. There is no way our wedding would have gone as smoothly and looked as great as it did without her help. We had an absolutely wonderful day, and we got tons of compliments on the decorations and the flow of the event. Leading up to the wedding, Heather was available when we needed her, even though I'm sure she had many other clients. She made time to videoconference with us, and was responsive to my emails. She came to meet in person at the venue with the onsite coordinator. I was very glad to have expert help when listening to the two professionals discuss options I didn't know existed! After we hired her to help decorate, we shared some ideas back and forth (lots of pinterest) and settled on some concepts. Heather took care of finding the vendors and providing quotes for us to OK. She did an amazing job staying within our budget while being dead on matching the design to the final outcome. She even did pick up / drop of instead of delivery for some of the rentals to save us a little money, which was definitely above and beyond. She also made our table labels for us and provided smaller items like the flower girl baskets and chalkboard signs without charge. On our wedding day, we basically had to show up and follow her direction. She handled all of the setup and decor placement, and managed the vendor deliveries. If there were issues, I never heard about them. As the evening progressed, she would discreetly come over to cue us (and the DJ, and photographer) to the next event - time for toasts, garter toss, etc. She stayed calm when we got behind schedule, but made sure to get us back on track. At the end of the night, we got to head out and Heather took care of the cleanup for us so we didn't have anything to worry about. Our wedding turned out exactly as we wanted, and it would have been impossible to do without Heather. read more

Heather was my "day-of" coordinator for my wedding this past March. She met with me, my husband, my sister, and my bridesmaids back in the fall and was very warm and accommodating. There was a good deal of follow-up and open communication from then leading up to the day of the wedding. She is always on time, very flexible, easy to get along with, professional, and will take care of things. She is an excellent contact for vendors and very organized in how she arranges everything. She took care of things that I didn't even think to ask her about. When I was first starting to plan my wedding, I did not think that I would need a coordinator. How wrong I was! Heather is absolutely indispensable. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Heather's a professional. That's the best way I can describe her with her work. Shes lighthearted, approachable and friendly, but most importantly - shes a champ at her job. I still don't know how all the loose ends were tied and how the wedding went off without a hitch - but that's the beauty of working with Heather, she had it all under control before it ever reached us. Her experience and knowledge came in useful more times than I could even enumerate and I think its fair to say we would have been totally lost and overwhelmed without her guiding help. Its clear she is working in her passion from the quality & performance of her work, and I'm going to highly recommend at least visiting with Heather as my various friends enter the wedding-planning stages of their engagements. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and effort in making our wedding such a beautiful and wonderfully memorable event. read more

I was 6 months in to planning my wedding and my head was spinning! What was supposed to be a fun thing to plan was becoming my worst nightmare; I was stressed out and not sleeping well. I was having a hard time pulling the trigger on ideas; I needed another opinion, confirmation and guidance to make the last few decisions. I wanted to know everything was going to come together and I could enjoy the night of my wedding without making tons of decisions or being the point of contact for all my vendors. I started searching for a day-of wedding coordinator. I found Heather with Vintage & Lace two months before my wedding. Heather literally saved my worried mind! She and I spent several hours in person, on the phone and emailing to going over all the wedding details. She answered my questions, had cool creative suggestions and took the weight of wedding planning off my shoulders. She was very responsive either by email or phone and when it came to the wedding week she couldn't have been more helpful. She helped me star enjoying the wedding planning process. Her professionalism during the wedding planning, the day-of any at the actual wedding was impressive not only to me, but my other vendors. She is an organized, smart, responsive, creative, thoughtful, and trustworthy professional. Having Heather allowed me to focus on the most important part of the day...the man I was going to marry and spend the rest of my life with. She is awesome! If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, I would 100% recommend Heather Sorensen with Vintage & Lace. read more

There are many things a wedding coordinator must be: calm, organized, creative, resourceful... Heather is all of these things and more. From the day I met her to the end of our wedding reception, she always made me feel like I was a priority. She answered all of my e-mails quickly and thoroughly, she understood my vision (and helped me work out the kinks), and my husband and I didn't break the bank to hire her. Not only was she awesome to work with, but she is the kind of person that you would want to hang out with as a friend. I absolutely recommend Vintage and Lace Weddings. Heather is very experienced and she's worth every cent. Our wedding would not have been possible without her! read more

Heather at Vintage and Lace was an absolute godsend in helping me pull off my dream wedding at the Kali Kate. I used all of the services she offers and it made everything from the planning stages to the actual day go smoothly. She has great taste, is always mindful of budget, responsive and all around fantastic wedding planner. I was in graduate school while I planned my wedding so I had limited time to spend looking up vendors, visiting them, and just making decisions. I heavily relied on Heather's opinion and expertise on the best vendors and what was considered reasonable pricing. She was incredibly responsive to any issues or questions I had, typically responding within a couple of hours. She was organized and reminded me when I needed to make payments, when contract deadlines were, what tasks needed to be completed, and tracked my budget. It was great to be in contact with only one person instead of getting tons of individual vendor emails. She really knows her stuff and was a great guide planning such an important event. On top of all of that she's a lovely and genuine person and an absolute pleasure to be around which is important since you can spend a lot of time with your wedding planner! She is trustworthy, capable, and firm which put me completely at ease with her handling and coordinating a very important day! I highly recommend Heather at Vintage and Lace for your wedding planning. read more

Hiring Vintage&Lace was the best decision I made throughout this whole process, and it was worth every penny! As an event planner myself, it can sometimes be difficult to let others take the reins on a big event, but with Heather, I felt completely at ease and confident that she would take care of everything. Her promptness, professionalism, attention to detail really allowed me to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. Loved working with her and would definitely recommend to anyone needing a coordinator! read more

Do not try to plan your wedding without Heather! We had a pretty complex wedding - multiple vendors, out of town guests, transportation etc., and Heather lead the entire process every step of the way. I'm pretty type A and thought I could plan our wedding myself but after a couple of weeks in I asked Heather to take over. I'm so thankful I found her. Our wedding was perfect, everything ran smoothly with every single vendor and she really honed in on my sense of style. All our guests were amazed with the styling of the event and how seamless the day/night went. I am so glad we invested in her services! read more

There are not enough great things to say about Heather!! We couldn't have done it without her and we are so grateful for everything she did for us. After talking with her, she knew what we wanted for our wedding and she made it happen. She helped us when we needed it and she was extremely responsive to our emails and questions. I never had to worry about if something needed to be done or when to pay a vender. She kept me in check and in the loop with every vender and that was extremely helpful (especially for someone who is not very organized liked me). Our wedding was perfect and she helped make it a dream come true read more

Heather was my day-of wedding coordinator a few weeks ago and I must say she was the best wedding decision I made. Her friendly professional attitude was so refreshing to work with and her level of organization is impressive. I knew about everything that was going to happen (vendor arrivals, decorations, rental pickup/return, rehearsal and wedding day schedules) in great detail before the big day via google docs so we could communicate and update our info in real time for each other. Having her there on my big day made me so relaxed I seriously didn't worry about a single thing. I was able to focus on what was important and have the best day EVER. My sister who was married before myself kept saying " I wish I knew about Heather when I got married." I think that speaks volumes about her talents. I would recommend her to any bride read more

Stop your search for a wedding planner, because Heather is the one! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. My husband and I had different priorities for the wedding and she was able to make both of us happy. We spoke the same language of spreadsheets & Google docs and her organizational skills reduced my stress because I knew she had it under control. She understood how important every detail was and made sure to fulfill and exceed our expectations. I really could go on and on about how wonderful she is and how she can make all your wedding dreams come true. Aside from her skill set, she is truly kind and thoughtful. She is worth her weight in gold! read more

I could not have pulled off my wedding...and it certainly would not have been as beautiful without the smiling professionalism of Heather Sorensen! We had our wedding at the Salt Lick...which I thought would be turn key...but that's another story for a later review :-) I was hired for a new job about six months before my wedding date and realized that I needed help help help! Thank you yelpsters as I found Heather from Vintage and Lace on Yelp...and your 5 star reviews are absolutely correct! Heather met with me in advance of our wedding and we went over details. She pointed out a few things I had not thought of and encouraged me to do a spreadsheet and sketched diagrams (which I shared on google/PDF'd-for ease!) to help paint the picture of what I wanted the day to look like. From the cake table, escort table, ceremony set up, and the oh so fun Trail Mix Bar set up Heather kept everything looking pretty and kept us flowing throughout the entire day. She was there at our rehearsal, again, pointing out some very important details that needed to be taken care of-which she did. Although I hired her for a day coordinator she did so much much more than that. She had a constant smile, was professional, and at every turn asked us if there was anything she could do for us. I HIGHLY recommend Heather and her services-book her before she gets gobbled up by everyone else! Thank you Heather! read more

Heather, Victoria, and Jasmine are AMAZING!!!! On my initial consult call with Heather I could already tell she was detail oriented, very well organized, and SO friendly! I know she was going to be a perfect fit for my wedding coordinator. Heather answered all of my annoying (and random) questions in text/email around the clock every day! She had all the answers immediately and extra helpful information I hadn't even thought of. As a bride planning your wedding- you want Vintage & Lace on your side!!! Fast forward to my wedding day- you would expect to be scrambling around trying to get people and things in all the right places (after all, you have been planning this for months) but you are not! Vintage & Lace has done everything for you!!! If there were problems at the wedding, I didn't ever know about them (and still don't). This is the most you can ask from such an amazing team helping you have the most perfect wedding day! Rest assured Vintage & Lace will take care of you and your wedding day!! read more

Heather is an absolute rockstar. As a girl who never pictured and planned her entire wedding day since childhood, I started the wedding process as a confused bride-to-be with no clue and no direction. I'm type A and very organized, but I needed someone to guide me through the ropes of planning a wedding. After interviewing a few wedding planners, I wasn't finding someone who I felt was a good fit and within my budget. After doing some more research, I found Heather through Yelp and things only went up from there. She held my hand throughout the entire crazy wedding process and helped me create an absolute DREAM wedding. Planning a big wedding with all the bells and whistles was truly NOT STRESSFUL because of her (yes you read that right- I was not stressed planning my wedding thanks to Heather). She is such an expert, SO good at her job, and willing to go above and beyond to help out. She knows the industry inside and out, and her help was truly the BEST money we spent on the entire wedding. Our families and friends were beyond impressed with her professionalism, dedication, and reliability. She was beyond valuable to us from start to finish and she will always hold a special place in our hearts. We truly couldn't have done it without her! If you want a perfect, stress free wedding experience with someone who is genuine, firm in the best way, sweet, and not outrageously priced, Heather is your girl! THANK YOU HEATHER!!! read more

My Husband and I chose to bite the bullet and spend the $$ to get a day of (actually month of) coordinator to handle everything so we could enjoy the day. It was the best decision we made during our planning. We worked with Heather for our Gabriel Springs wedding and she was perfection. She set up everything I provided her with and used her own own decoration style which was amazing and so unique! I would never have thought of using the items the way she did. She did absolutely everything. Decor set up, dealing with all vendors and their set ups, coordinating the festivities and guests and US! I could not stress more that she is the best of the best and worth every penny. She was never pushy, and most of all it didn't feel like dealing with a stranger for such a personal day, it was like having an family member helping that is super professional! Thank you thank you Heather. read more

If you're looking for a true professional, someone who will feel like your friend by the time your big day comes - hire Heather. She's not only professional, but she's also just tremendously good at what she does. She was my calm under pressure every step of the way and truly made my wedding day unforgettable. Heather recommended the most incredible vendors, all of whom surpassed our greatest expectations. If you want the months leading up to your wedding to be fun and exciting rather than stressful and overwhelming, Heather is your girl - hands down! read more

I cannot thank Heather enough for making my wedding day the most amazing day of my life!! She blew me away at our very first meeting with her professionalism, passion, and dedication to making sure my vision for my wedding was executed to very last detail. I had met with a few wedding planners before finding her and none of them even came close to making me feel like they cared about making my day as special as she did. I really appreciate how quickly she responded to all of my questions and how organized she was. She really went above and beyond my expectations for a day-of coordinator - on more than one occasion she almost seemed to read my mind and send me e-mails with information and answers to questions that I hadn't even asked yet. At the wedding, my dress kept coming un-bustled and within a second, Heather was by my side to fix it. I had lots of DIY decor that I wanted set up around the venue. I was so worried that it would be too much for anyone to set up, especially the way I wanted it. Not surprisingly, on the wedding day I found everything to be set up exactly the way I wanted it - not a detail was missed. She is very thorough and will make sure that your day runs smoothly, so that you can just relax and enjoy it. If I were to do it all over again there is absolutely no way I would've chosen any one else as my wedding planner. read more

Heather with Vintage & Lace epitomized all I could ever have hoped for in a wedding coordinator. We hired Heather to be our "day-of" coordinator, but to say she only handled logistics on the day-of would be a huge understatement. I met with Heather for the first time in August about my March wedding. I instantly felt comfortable with her, and she had amazing ideas about little details I would have never considered on my own. She made the meeting completely pressure-free, and even met with me again in a couple of weeks when we decided to sign the contract. Technically, the contract limited email communication to the weeks proceeding the event, but from the very beginning, Heather was always there to answer any questions I had, and she checked in often to make sure planning was going well. In the last month before the event, Heather made a meticulous, 15-min increment schedule for the wedding day. She confirmed all of my vendors for me, and made sure I had nothing to worry about. Heather took my VERY limited budget for decor and flowers and completely exceeded my expectations for how our reception venue would look! Everything ran completely flawlessly at our wedding, and our families and friends, my husband and I were able to eat, drink, and dance the best night of our lives away without a care. Heather has a great eye for design, is beyond professional, and truly does take a "best friend" approach to coordinating your wedding. I can't say enough good things about her. She is absolutely the best coordinator Austin has to offer. read more

Hire Heather! Our wedding was an absolute dream and we were truly able to ENJOY ourselves only because Heather was there to ensure every single thing was in order. Heather both executed our ideas perfectly and was able to fill in creatively when we were out of ideas. We never felt rushed or stressed or in any sort of crunch during the entire planning process and on the day of we were truly able to focus our attention on our friends, families, and each other. We could tell our vendors love working with Heather, as well. She clearly has a great rapport with the Austin wedding planning community but also puts her clients first. Really, hire her! You'll be so glad you did. read more

Heather came recommended to me from a wedding planner who did a friend's wedding that had since gone in-house at a venue I was not interested in. When I checked out her reviews, I thought this was too good to be true, but it wasn't! We had a phone call and scheduled to meet in person. I live in Dallas, and was going to be home in Austin for Christmas. Through terrible weather and scheduling around family events the four of us (my parents, fiance (now husband), and I) plus Heather made the meeting happen. When Heather said she worked in google docs and color coded schedules, I knew we were a match. We hired Heather to help plan for the duration, not just the day of. I wasn't the bride who had a vision book for her wedding or has known what she wanted since she was 4. But Heather knew the right questions to ask to get vendors narrowed down so I wasn't overwhelmed with choices. When we looked at venues, one coveted place said they had a cancellation that had just opened up a spring Saturday 6 weeks away. My fiance and I started going toying back and forth with the idea and Heather didn't skip a beat. She said it was possible, but that we'd have to make decision much more quickly. Well, cooler heads prevailed and we went with a date 6 months out. Still a challenge, but Heather was up for it and executed it flawlessly. I was never stressed that things weren't going to get done. Everything was taken care of and I had an amazing time at our beautiful wedding. Heather deserves a huge thanks for her major part in that! read more

Heather with Vintage and Lace was the best decision I made for my wedding. We hired her for day-of coordination but she ended up helping me (through email) for several months. Heather made me feel at ease about everything. She has wedding planning down to a science and will think of questions you need to ask that you'd never think of. Anytime I had a random question throughout the planning process, I emailed Heather and ALWAYS got a super quick response (you'll find that this is rare among vendors). As a good wedding coordinator should, Heather made the wedding day such a breeze for us and our wedding party/family. She's also adorable and friendly. We got lots of comments from guests about how good she was. If you're need a fantastic wedding coordinator with good experience but who won't charge you out the wazoo, Heather Sorensen of Vintage and Lace is your girl. Trust me. Thanks, Heather!! read more

We engaged Heather when starting to plan my daughter's wedding. I cannot overstate what a great decision that was. She is organized, thoughtful, and so accessible. She knew and recommended a host of excellent vendors and followed through with everyone. We always knew she had our back and never ran the risk of forgetting any important step. For the wedding weekend, she completely took all possible stress and organized it all. Everything from set up to send off went so smoothly. All our friends commented on her grace an efficiency. She dressed professionally and elegantly, worked so hard, and took every possible pressure off of my daughter and our family. If you wonder if you need a wedding planner, trust me, you do. And she is wonderful. Definitely the best money we spent and it helped deliver my daughters dream wedding! read more

Heather is worth every penny and more. Not only is she completely professional, but she made me feel like my much more qualified friend was helping, not just someone I hired. Although I am a native Austinite, I was planning my wedding from New Jersey while my husband and I both tackled new jobs as attorneys. Heather took the time to discuss what kind of wedding planner we needed her to be (e.g. hands-on, strict to the budget, one that provided many options or only a few options to keep us from being overwhelmed). My husband and I both worked long hours and needed someone to gently but firmly keep us on track with planning. Heather had a great sense of what we would like, and when we needed to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly truth about wedding planning. The best part about hiring Heather was that I have no idea if anything went wrong on our wedding day because Heather handled everything. All I remember is having a great time with my friends and family. read more

I'm not sure where to start with my review for Heather. With us living in a different state, it was a little scary planning things from far away. However, hiring Heather made planning so much easier than I thought . She was fantastic in every way. We hired Heather as our "day of" coordinator but it felt like she was there from the beginning of our planning due to her great communication and openness to our questions (especially living out of state). Vendors can be a headache to deal with, but Heather was great about taking over and communicating with the other vendors and made sure everything came together. Heather was a huge stress reliever for me and made sure I didn't have a thing to worry about. I had a ton of people at our wedding compliment her and the job she did. Not only is she professional and knows what she's doing (very organized!), she is also sweet and easy to get along with, plus she had an answer for everything. I am so happy we hired Heather and would without a doubt hire her again! read more

I worked with Heather Sorenson at Vintage&Lace and she was spectacular. Investing in her was the best money spent on the wedding. She was confident and bold without being pushy or controlling. She was very organized and had many key ideas that pulled everything together. For example, taking initiative to practice with the flower girl on how to throw petals. Heather had the details down. And she made me think of things I had missed, when I was sure I had thought of everything. And the very best part was that on the day of my wedding, I did not have one thing to worry about. She took care of it all, and even came to me and asked if I needed anything and brought me another glass of champagne. I felt cared for without being smothered. She also got along well with the guests. Not only is she organized and detail-oriented, she also has a calming effect. With her around you just know everything is going to be ok. read more

Heather Sorenson from Vintage and Lace Austin is a rock star!! To describe what a pivotal role Heather played in our wedding Ill need to tell you a bit about our wedding. We had both recently moved to Texas while most of our family was still on the East Coast. We had been engaged a year and still hadn't done anything in the way of planning. We knew what we wanted but our jobs kept us so busy that we never had time to execute anything. We lived in Houston but planned to host our wedding in Austin. In addition, 80% of our guest list was from the east coast. This is when I decided we must hire a wedding planner and boy did we luck out in getting Heather! She made the entire process so easy and stress free!! I shared my vision with her and she did all legwork in reaching our to vendors and making appointments. More importantly, she was spot in the vendors she contacted. Since we were driving back and forth to Austin for these meetings the less we had the better. She has such great experience and always had great ideas and suggestions. She was always very cognizant of our budget (even when I may not have been). As a type A personality myself one of the greatest things I appreciated about heather were her excellent organizational skills and her timely and professional manner. She always treats you as if you are her only client although I know she is a busy woman. Having a wedding planner like Heather throughout the entire process is the reason the big day ran smoothly. Setting aside the business aspect, she really is a gem of a person. She has great relationships with vendors and they all love working with her. I am so thankful and grateful to Heather for her help and guidance in planning our wedding. Our wedding weekend was the greatest weekend of my life! So if you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further and contact Heather Sorenson, Vintage and Lace. read more
