Heidi and Ashton are the best!! We had a completely DIY wedding - we made flower arrangements the night before, we had the wedding in a studio in a warehouse that was so small that we had to flip the room from ceremony to dinner set-up, we even self-DJed with Spotify playlists, yet Heidi and Ashton did not miss a beat! They took over everything the day-of as our Day-Of Coordinators, so I, the bride, could enjoy my special day! They oversaw our event staff and kept the entire day's events perfectly timed out and on-schedule, they set-up all of our beautiful decorations, they navigated all of my various playlists to make sure all of the music was perfect!! I have no complaints!! Our family and friends were extremely impressed!! They are willing to do anything and everything to make your special day perfect, and it really was :) There is nothing they can't do. Thank you Heidi and Ashton!!!!

Heidi is absolutely amazing! She is very professional, friendly and detail oriented. We had an excellent communication throughout the entire process and it was a pleasure to work with her. She went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend hiring her as your wedding planner.

Heidi and Ashton were the perfect day-of wedding coordinators. When we arrived at the site on our wedding day, everything was beautifully set up as if by magic. Gracefully and unobtrusively, they made everything happen. They arranged flowers, set up the wedding altar, wrangled vendors, and guided guests through the day's various phases (ceremony, reception, toasts). They even served us cake and champagne. Our guests remarked on how "effortless" the wedding seemed; this is largely due to Birminkeley's hard work!

Birminkeley also helped plan our wedding. They visited the venue with us and talked us through everything from where to seat the guests to how many tablecloths to order. Later, they helped us search for wedding vendors. Despite our tight timeline (~2 months), they found us a wonderful photographer, rental company, and makeup artist. They were persistent and tenacious in making sure the vendors would adhere to our venue's strict requirements.

In addition to being very capable, flexible, and affordable, Heidi and Ashton are very pleasant to work with. Their calmness and perseverance helped us get through a very stressful time!
