Heather and Christophe are the best and we were so fortunate to work with them during our wedding planning process!!

Heather is incredibly organized, patient, and kind -- she is the person you need on your team. She is there for you (even from across the world). During all of the wedding planning craziness, she was our biggest advocate and support. We are incredibly appreciative. During our wedding weekend, she took care of everything so we could really enjoy the moment!

Christophe brought his positive energy, enthusiasm, humor, and amazing talent to our special day. Everyone who met him at our wedding loved him instantly and he made taking photos enjoyable. He took the most beautiful photos & videos -- we have not stopped admiring them. They really speak for themselves. The quality is just so so good!!

Together they make the best team. They took on a big challenge with helping us with our crazy two-day 200+ person wedding and we absolutely could not have done it without them. Everything came together and if there were any bumps during the actual events we had no idea because they took care of everything.

There are not enough thank yous in the world.

No wonder why they are the most reviewed wedding planners in San Diego 🙂

Love,
Abby & Gus

We cannot express enough how incredible our wedding coordinator, Heather, and her team were throughout our wedding planning and on the big day itself! From our very first conversation, Heather made us feel at ease with her warmth, professionalism, and extensive knowledge of the wedding process.

Heather was exceptionally organized and attentive to our needs as a bride. She was always quick to respond to emails and communications, ensuring that we felt supported every step of the way. Her expertise in coordinating with vendors made the entire process seamless, and we were constantly updated, which kept our stress levels in check.

On the day of the wedding, Heather and her assistants were nothing short of amazing. They managed everything flawlessly, from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the reception and beyond. The venue was beautifully decorated, reflecting our vision perfectly, and Heather's supportive presence allowed us to fully enjoy our special day.
Our family and friends couldn't stop talking about how professional and kind Heather was—her dedication truly made our dream wedding come true. If you're looking for someone to help make your wedding day unforgettable, we wholeheartedly recommend hiring Heather. She is simply the best! Thank you, Heather, for everything!

Investing in photography and videography was a priority for my now-husband and I! We knew we wanted something to look back on time and time again, to remember our special day. Choosing to go with Willmus Weddings was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Christophe was so easy to work with from our engagement shoot to our actual wedding day. Communicating before, during, and after went by smoothly! We felt so comfortable with him from start to finish. Thank you so much for an amazing experience! We are obsessed with our wedding gallery!!!

Heather and Christophe were the DREAM team on our wedding day in La Jolla. Despite the chaos of a wedding, Heather was on the ground anticipating every need of ours. She was calm, cool and collected. During the planning process she also helped us book every vendor and made sure to ask detail oriented questions I would never think about. I could not imagine not having her through the whole process. Christophe was an awesome vibe for our wedding, adding to the fun of the party. He was great with our families and friends and took the best shots. My favorite part was sunset photos where he posed us above ocean . We couldn’t stop smiling with him around! I highly recommend hiring these two together for your wedding in San Diego- it’s a great dream team!

Absolutely blown away! Christophe made us feel so comfortable the entire time. He really got to know us and the video he put together told our story beautifully. He chose a great videographer for us as well that matched our personalities and vibe. We could not be happier with the finished product! Highly recommend for any wedding or event! Love this out take of him not allowing background guests to ruin the reveal! Photographer looking out for us!

Heather and Christophe make such an amazing team! Between the two of them, they made sure our event ran smoothly, kept everything on time and made sure to capture every single special moment. Even before the wedding day, Heather was constantly checking up with me to make sure all of the planning on my end was going smoothly, offering suggestions/help whenever I needed it. She also caught a lot of essential details that I never thought about, and those details made the wedding the success it was. On the wedding day, Heather was on top of all of the details, professional, and made it so that I didn’t have to worry about anything and just be in the moment. Christophe, from the moment he arrived to start taking photos, was professional, but more importantly extremely fun! He thought of every shot we could want, and executed the photos beautifully. Our wedding party and family had so much fun the entire time we were working with him. Thank you again!

Heather was the definition of calm, cool, and organized. She struck an excellent balance of checking in to make sure we were tracking on our planning, encouraging us when we needed to catch up on our checklist, and always doing so warmly to make sure things got done without unneeded stress or planning panic. She was supportive in making recommendations on decorations, event flow, and schedule, but ultimately happy to help bring our vision to life once we made a decision.

Christophe did a great job of directing us and helping us ease into our engagement photos, especially given our lack of experience with photo shoots. We asked him to help recreate some old family wedding photos and get a few specific shots, and he was committed to getting every detail perfect.

I'm sure they do a ton of weddings, but they showed up on our day committed to making our experience entirely unique and special. Anytime Christophe picked up on an opportunity for photos with a special group of people, he immediately jumped in to make sure we got it. Heather even helped me (the bride) take off my wedding heels and put on my dancing shoes when it would be difficult for me to do it myself. They really care, have the expertise to do a great job, and have the flexibility to make a specific couple's vision come to life. We're writing this review 2.5 months after our wedding and have had several friends speak about how great they were, many of them knowing the duo on a first name basis. It was also great to work with them together as they understood each other's styles, planned ahead, and could easily be trusted to operate in sync, leaving us relaxed to enjoy the weeks before and day of the wedding.

We feel immense gratitude toward this very talented duo. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Willmus Weddings is hands down the best team ever! This short review doesn't do any of the incredible work both Heather and Christophe did any justice as we would not have been able to pull off the perfect wedding without them and words can't begin to describe how grateful we were to have found them.

Planning/Coordination
As soon as we spoke to Heather on the phone we knew she was the one. We just got good vibes from her right off the bat and knew she'd be perfect to help us throw an awesome wedding. Over the course of the process, Heather shared a ton of extremely helpful checklists and timelines to keep us on track and organized. She had the perfect touch of helping and reminding us to make certain decisions without making us feel like we were running behind schedule. She also had the perfect recommendations when we asked about certain vendors & did all the legwork to contact her network to make sure folks were available before even sending us their contact information. This alone saved us hours of research trying to find the perfect vendor and then waiting for their response back. I can't even begin to quantify how helpful it was to be presented with a few options of trusted vendors that Heather knew were the best of the best to choose from. As we got closer to the wedding, Heather walked us through our "day of" timeline and confirmed all the little details we would never have thought about if not for her. She triple-checked everything with our vendors, sharing the timeline with them and ensuring everything ran smoothly. On our wedding day, we were both very calm and relaxed knowing that Heather and her assistant Clemence had everything taken care of at the venue. They made our day absolutely perfect!

Design
My partner and I had no idea what we were doing when it came to designing the overall theme and vibe of the wedding and knew we needed extra help. Heather talked us through all the various design elements and turned our very vague descriptions into the most amazing tropical wedding vision. She nailed what we wanted on the first try and helped us find the right vendors to turn the vision into reality. While meeting with various vendors she conveyed our vision and recommended different design changes or additions based on our questions/feedback. It was incredible to see everything come together on our wedding day and we absolutely could not have done it without Heather!

Photography/Videography
My partner and I had never taken any professional photos before and weren't sure what to expect, but felt right at ease under Christophe's guidance. He made us look so natural and our engagement photos turned out so well - we were extremely excited to work with him again on our wedding day. On our wedding day, Christophe arrived with his team (one additional photographer, one videographer) and got right to work taking hundreds of photos of every little detail. He was able to corral our large and rowdy families and wedding party to get the perfect group shots and managed to do so efficiently so we could release the guests back to the wedding festivities. When we got our photos and video back we were absolutely floored at how well they came out and how beautiful each and everyone looked. It brings us so much joy to look back at all the details Christophe captured. The way he edited both the teaser and the full video is truly something else - we look like Hollywood movie stars! We can't wait to watch it for years to come!
