After graduating from Kent State University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and a minor in Business Administration, Heather worked in Residential and Commercial Interior Design, as an art teacher, and as a floral designer. Her experience planning showers and weddings for friends combined with her education led her to create her own event planning business in 2003. Truly Your Events offers the latest in wedding planning trends including eco-friendly designs, full event coordination, and free initial consultation to provide clients complete planning services to help them save time, money, and alleviate stress.
After becoming a WPI Certified Wedding Planner in the spring of 2008, Heather agreed to share her knowledge and expertise with The Wedding Planning Institute’s (www.WeddingPlanningInstitute.com) certification course students at the University of Akron. Heather will be teaching aspiring students how to become successful wedding planners by bringing personalized attention and creativity to every client’s occasion.
“In today’s busy world, trying to plan a special event can be very stressful and time consuming. By providing solutions to the demanding needs of event design and coordination, you can allow the client to enjoy a stress free celebration,” Heather writes.
