thank you voters!

i am so humbled right now i really don’t know where to start… the fox 8 cleveland hot list voting ended on friday at 11:59 pm. i saw this weekend that i received 95 reviews from the people who voted. that was more than any other planner for reviews in 2009. and, it actually neared the totals some other planners had for 2007, 2008 and 2009 combined. i’m absolutely stunned and grateful.

i was delighted to see comments from a variety of  vendor-coworkers; past brides and groom; past brides and grooms’ family members, friends and bridal party members; future clients; and even some potential clients! regardless of the results of the actual voting (which should post sometime this week),  reviews mean so much more to me.  i am so appreciative for the overwhelming support of my business which is still in its first full season. THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to register their email addresses to vote and/or leave a review for me. and thanks for your patience while i reminded everyone to vote here on my blog, twitter feed and facebook fan page for the past couple of weeks.

here are a few of my favorite comments left:

Heidi is SO helpful, even before I hired her, she was emailing me back and forth giving me suggestions on vendors shes worked with~I don’t know Anyone that would take their time to answer questions for people that arent “paying” them first! She actually cares, and is there to help with Any of your needs~ Shes Great & deserved to be #1 with all the raves ive heard from other girls whom have used her which is why I chose to use her services because of all the good things I hear!!! :)

Heidi is everything you could want in a planner – organized, creative, dependable, and patient. She goes above and beyond for her clients and is truly a joy to work with. Heidi recently coordinated for my wedding, and she was a dream come true – she took care of any and everything so that neither I nor my friends/family had to worry about getting stuff done.

I would recommend Heidzillas because she mentions things for the wedding that you don’t always think of (because you’re too busy thinking of a million other things). She offers to help whenever you need it. She is smart, quick, organized, efficient, friendly and professional. She knows the wedding business very well. She truly helped make my day (sept 4) run so well, I couldn’t find one thing wrong with the scheduling of my wedding day. An absolute must have if you’re a busy girl like me and need some extra help planning and if you just want a stress-free wedding day

Even though I have not booked her yet I will she has been so nice and I think she will be such a joy to work with. I cannot wait to work with her. I know my wedding will be awesome with her being the coordinator..not stress of that I am sure.

It was delightful to design Heidi’s own wedding and it’s always a pleasure to work with her as a planner. Thank you for your continued support!!

Recently worked with Heidi and could not believe how much she gets done…all within guidelines and time frames! She works her magic in transforming a plain setting into an amazing room. And talk about calm….have never seen someone with so much to do remain so calm! Wish all planners had her attitude!!

This past summer,we hired Heidi as the day-of coordinator. I can not compliment her services high enough – she was fabulous and more! She took care of everything with the highest degree of professionalism and graciousness. I was able to completely enjoy the day knowing that Heidi was there to oversee every detail. Heidi was a large part in helping to make my daughter’s wedding day the beautiful day that it was!

Just an amazing woman with the organizational skills of a P.A. and the brains of an M.B.A.
