Heather and her team are awesome!

Heather and her team were absolutely awesome when helping us plan our wedding. Heather is extremely knowledgeable and we were so lucky and grateful to have her event coordinating expertise for our wedding. We met a handful of times and sent countless emails back and forth. Heather was always very quick to respond to our questions and provided detailed resources to stay on track with planning. We enjoyed getting to know Heather and we would 10/10 recommend Heather and her team at Bonafide Events!

Bona Fide Events is the best!

Working with Bona Fide Events was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them to anyone having a wedding. We came in a little late in the game requesting help and Heather was able to take us on as clients. I truly enjoyed working with Heather as she was organized, knowledgeable, professional, and so kind. Bona Fide made our vision for the wedding possible and took so much stress off our plates!

Great experience with Heather at Haw River Ballroom

Heather was recommended to us by the event manager at the Haw River Ballroom and it was so helpful to have someone who knew the venue so well, was an old pro at running weddings, and could recommend local vendors who also knew the venue. Her signature timeline is also remarkable and the entire wedding party was incredibly thankful to have a detailed understanding of all the moving parts. It was also wonderful to have Heather at our American Party Rentals meeting, to help us understand the more opaque parts of wedding planning, and to take SO MUCH STRESS off of my husband, my family, and I on the big day. Looking back I can't imagine coordinating all the day-of details without Heather and her team.
