First Coast Weddings gave us our dream wedding!

Heather and her team were absolutely incredible throughout this entire process. She kept us on a great timeline, found incredible vendors, and generally took a huge load off of our plates during this busy time. Heather also provides a sweet, comforting, and calming presence both on the big day and at every meeting leading up to the wedding. She struck the perfect balance of providing helpful information while also encouraging us to express what we wanted on our day. I came in with not a lot of clarity on what I wanted the day to look like and she was amazing at guiding us and helping craft the perfect wedding. Her communication was consistent and excellent and everyone was incredibly professional. The wedding day was everything we hoped for and more and I could not recommend Heather and the First Coast Wedding team highly enough!!

Ponte Vedra Wedding

Hiring Laura and the First Coast team will be the best decision you make ahead of your wedding. Not only is Laura professional, thorough, and detail oriented, but she's also incredibly nice and caring. On our wedding day, it was a true 50/50 if we would be able to have the ceremony outside due to storms in the area. Watching Laura handle venue logistics, handle the bride and groom (plus family) and pull off giving us our outdoor dream wedding, was seeing a true professional in action. Laura is the type of planner you'd want to strategize with on the phone for an hour, but also talk about life with over a meal or drink. Lastly, she knows the Jax area extremely well (we got marries in Ponte Vedra) and had done several events at both our rehearsal and wedding venues, making the entire experience smooth and stress free. We encourage you to hire Laura as we did, you will be as thrilled as we are!

Exceptional Wedding Planning Services in Jacksonville, FL

Heather Randall and the First Coast Weddings team did an exceptional job planning our Wedding! From the beginning planning phases to our Wedding Day, Heather’s attention to every detail was outstanding. As an out-of-state Bride, Heather’s vendor recommendations were top-notch; she put my mind at ease, knowing that she and her team were my local “boots on the grounds”, interacting with all our Jacksonville-area vendors. Our Wedding Day was everything we could have ever imagined, and so much more; simply put, it was MAGICAL! Thank you, Heather and First Coast Weddings!

OMG, Heather is one of the happiest people I know. I really can not remember a time I have seen or worked with her that she does not have a smile on her face.... and she's got amazing skills at organization and creating a jaw dropping unique setting in a way that simply has become second nature to her. A great person to work with for sure :)
