Testimonials

“My experience with Emily Edwards and Your Heart’s Desire
was nothing but positive. My goal in hiring a wedding
coordinator was to take some of the stress and worry of
planning a wedding off of my husband and myself. We wanted
to be able to enjoy this very special event without having to
worry about the details. At the same time, we wanted to be
involved in the decisions and choices regarding the wedding
and reception, so that it was a unique and personal experience
for ourselves and our family. Emily was very successful in
achieving this delicate balance, and allowing my husband and
I to enjoy every single moment of our special day, as well as the
days leading up to it. Emily is extremely organized , competent
and truly concerned about her client’s needs. There was
literally nothing I would have changed about my wedding day.
It was a fairytale wedding and miraculously not one thing went wrong. I attribute this success to all of the
people who provided services, but mainly to Emily. She coordinated and organized all the people and
events so that I didn’t have to worry about anything. I highly recommend her services to anyone planning a
wedding, no matter how big or small, elaborate or simple, Emily really does fulfill your heart’s desire.”

“What can we say? We had to move our wedding up about 6
months due to both of our deployments and Emily pulled it off. We
told her what we wanted and she made it all happen. She was very
prompt in returning phone calls or e-mails and great at explaining
every last detail. We walked through the resort the day before our
big day and everything was perfect. If you want someone who is up
front, easy to work with and knows how to get you great deals on
anything from flowers to knowing the best wedding cake lady in
Phoenix – Emily is the one you need to turn to. We look forward to
working with her again when we return to have one heck of a
reception. Thank you to Emily and Your Heart's Desire for making
our special day more than we imagined it was going to be.”

“I am sending you this note in appreciation of your efficient services with our daughter’s wedding.
The whole weekend was so memorable. Thank you so much for all the details you handled & just
being there for all of the family, to supply us in tissues, get us water, or answer our many questions.
You were there for us until the final packing up of our daughter's items, gifts etc. You really have
a kind way with people, giving us directions of when & how to walk out for the ceremony, without
being too "bossy.” You have just the right touch! Even some of our family members mentioned
how good you were! Our daughter did great to find you to help her with her wedding plans. I know
that without your services the wedding wouldn't have gone so smoothly. We also appreciated how
you would get back to us in a timely manner & not forget to call us. You are a delight to work with
and it was a true pleasure to have met you & have you as our wedding consultant.”

“Emily Edwards was a pleasure to work with and
without all her help and dedication, our wedding
would have not been the event we dreamed of.
In the beginning of our planning together we were
living in another state. Therefore,the only way of
contact was through the phone or email. She was
very prompt in returning a response, and making
sure that all our concerns were taken care of.
Emily is a very organized individual. It was very easy for us to call her and tell her we would be in town
for a specific weekend, and she would schedule appointments for us, and give us all of the information
Emily is very knowledgeable about the wedding industry,and had many great referrals to other vendors
to help us complete our wedding. I loved working with her and so did the rest of my family. She does
her work with grace, professionalism, sincerity, & compassion, and she knows how to have a good
time. She is very easy to speak with about your ideas, problems or concerns. I would 100% refer her to
any of my friends or family who are planning any event.”

“Emily was truly my lifesaver! With my job being so
demanding and my fiancée being over 8500 miles away in
Japan, I did not have the time and patience I needed to plan
a wedding on my own. Emily planned my wedding with
great vigilance and she truly cared about what I needed and
wanted. She meticulously coordinated every single detail
and always went well above and beyond for my sake.
Knowing that everything was being taken care of made my
stress level go down dramatically! Our wedding day was a
very beautiful and blessed day I was able to relax and enjoy
my day and not have to worry about any detail whatsoever.
I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day. I absolutely
could not have done this without her! You will be so happy
you chose Emily to plan your special day. Choosing her as
my wedding coordinator was the best decision I could’ve
made! My husband and I will be forever grateful.”

"Working with Emily was a complete joy! She was very
responsive and informative. Never once did we feel as though
we were not in control of the planning and decision-making.
Her expertise and guidance was impeccable and professional.
Come our wedding day I don't know what we would have done
without her! Her recommendations for our vendors and
thoughts on arrangements were perfect! I would recommend
Emily to anyone who wants a less stressful wedding experience
and picture perfect details. Thank you Emily for everything-
our day was perfection!"

“Working with Emily was a dream come true. The
planning of my wedding was easy with Emily's help. I
really appreciated her the day of the event, where I
could just have a terrific time while she took care of
the vendors and the odds and ends. I would highly
recommend her to anyone who wants to have a
beautiful wedding, but doesn't want to become
bridezilla in the process!”
