If you asked us our absolute favorite moment on a couple’s wedding day, (next to the walk down the aisle of course!), the one that just melts our hearts…It’s the moment we get to have a private reveal with our couple of their transformed reception venue, just before their guests come in. Their reactions are absolutely, priceless as they see all of the ideas, planning, dedication, personal touches, and design throughout the process of months and possibly years, all came together flawlessly, beyond what they ever dreamed! That’s the moment for us, that has us falling in love with weddings over and over and over again!

Hello! This is Heather, the owner of Blue Skies! I am a passionate family person who treasures every moment spent with my loved ones. I embrace life to the fullest, finding joy in both quiet moments and exciting adventures. Traveling is one of my favorite hobbies in our off season, as I love exploring new places and cultures, which enriches my perspective and inspires my creativity. Family, travel, and living life to the fullest are the cornerstones of my happy and fulfilling life.
One thing most couples would be surprised to know is:
One surprising aspect about Blue Skies is the unique blend of personal and professional experience brought by our owners. Having planned weddings for over 20 years, both across the U.S. and internationally, they bring a wealth of diverse knowledge to each event.
What many people may not know is our owners, Heather and Chris have been happily married for over 20 years, partnering together not only in business but also in life. Together, they navigate the joys and challenges of being homeschool parents to their teenager, which enriches their understanding of family dynamics and relationships. This combination of experience in both marriage and parenting allows them to create a warm, family-oriented atmosphere for our couples, as they truly understand the importance of love, commitment, and the cherished moments that weddings represent.
Non-wedding Passions:
One of our passions, aside from wedding planning, is our deep love for animals. Each member of our team is a huge animal lover, and we cherish the time we spend with our furry friends. Additionally, travel is a key essential to our livelihood on our off season; we enjoy exploring different cultures and experiencing the beauty of diverse places. This passion for animals and travel enriches our lives and inspires our creativity, allowing us to bring fresh perspectives and unique ideas to the weddings we plan.

We wanted a planner who understood us and our vision for our wedding and who was familiar with the venue.
Blue Skies Weddings & Events have done a lot of weddings at The Birchwood so that was the first thing we liked about them. We reviewed their packages and talked to a few different planners, and Blue Skies understood our vision and was able to help us the most with our questions so we went with them. Their service was outstanding. Samantha helped us with so many details and aspects that I would have never thought of myself; from the big plans to small details, they were there every step of the way.

We wanted a wedding planner who could handle my type-A personality and Alex’s laid-back approach, someone with experience who was open to new ideas since we knew we would be a couple who would throw some curve balls. We wanted someone we were confident would execute our vision.
Heather and Samantha at Blue Skies Weddings & Events had the perfect approach to working with us as a couple. We knew they could handle any challenges in a graceful manner and get the job done. They stepped in to create our vision of a cocktail hour library. They were so dialed in on making sure every step of the day went seamlessly.

I was finishing my residency while we were planning our wedding, so I was very busy with work. Having a wedding planner who could understand our style and vision and present us with different options to help make our vision a reality was crucial. We also needed someone who we could trust to take the reins when I wasn’t available, and something popped up.
We chose Blue Skies Weddings and Events because they had everything we were looking for: a beautiful portfolio of previous events with a style similar to what we imagined and good connections in the wedding industry. Heather Tyler and her team were there to support us in every way. We could not be happier with our decision to work with Blue Skies. They were so helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. They made planning fun rather than stressful and were always there to assist when we needed them. They made our wedding dreams come true! Also, having Blue Skies as our planning team made it so much easier for our families to relax and enjoy the day with us.

Someone who was attentive, knowledgeable, and able to handle everything the day of because I wanted to completely enjoy it without interruption. I knew the day would go fast and I wanted to be able to soak up every moment with my new hubs and all of our guests. I also looked for a responsive team and good communication.
Blue Skies Events was very responsive from the beginning. When Heather jumped on the first call with me, I immediately felt at ease about planning. Heather took care of everything. After every call, I felt comfortable and knew the plans were in good hands. If anything went wrong the day-of, I never even knew. Heather and her team made sure that we had drinks in our hands and were having a great time throughout the day.

Someone who could get my vision and take initiative for a month of planning to tie all the details together!
I chose Blue Skies Weddings and Events because I saw they worked with many of the other vendors I chose, so I knew they would make a good team with a history of working together. They were the most reasonably priced for what they had to offer, which was a lot! Heather went above and beyond with every detail; I didn’t even have to ask her for things. She just knew what I needed!
