Mother of the Bride: “Heather, thank you so much for all you did to help us with Bridget and Ben's wedding! They called from the airport to say they thought it was perfect! I too was very happy with how everything looked and with the tone of the day.... I think we were especially relaxed because we had you and your assistant to rely on. You are such a calm presence and are so very organized and it rubs off on everyone else. Thanks so much for your help not only on the day of, but in the weeks before the wedding.”

Heather Hall organized our company retreat in February 2008. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily she coordinated all of our company’s needs and requests while still creating a fun and productive environment. With all of our needs met and anticipated at our retreat we were able to accomplish our goals and still enjoy the amenities that our hotel had to offer which I fully accredit to Heather’s skill at time management and planning.

Dear Lisa,
The women of the Woman’s Century Club were more than pleased with the marvelous job you did helping us plan and coordinate our ‘Tis the Season 2006 Holiday Auction and Dinner. With your help and advice not only did the event run smoothly, but the funds raised for our charities were double that of the previous year!

With expertise and advice you helped us negotiate our way through the unfamiliar process of attracting auction and corporate donors. The Corporate Donor Program you suggested and created for us was huge success!

Always well prepared and organized, working with you was a pleasure. Knowing that the event was it your unflappable professional care allowed us to relax and enjoy our big evening!
