Cece Heslin
Owner & Certified Wedding Planner

Hi ya! I'm Cece and I'm thrilled and grateful you are here!! I'm a firm believer that life is a gift and much too short, so we should celebrate every small joy with our favorite people and spread kindness everywhere we go. Weddings are a beautifully unique opportunity where I get to do just that every single day and I am so blessed!!  Your wedding is about you and your fiance, your love, the promise you're making to each other, and the start of your new life together and I will do everything I can to make your day, and the months leading up to it, as blissfully amazing as you deserve.
I've been in the weddings and events industry since 2014 in various roles including catering and venue management. I'm also a Certified Wedding Planner - soon to be Master Certified Wedding Planner! - through The Certified Wedding Planner Society, the nation’s leading wedding planning certification program. The creativity of event design is definitely the most fun part of my job, but logistics and organization are where I truly shine! Attention to detail has always come naturally to me, so I can't help but to ensure every bit of your day is perfect. I've won Best of Weddings by The Knot every year since I started this business and have been featured in many publications and blogs including Saint Louis Bride, Missouri Wine Country Weddings, The Pink Bride, St. Louis Best Bridal, and Bride St. Louis.

I'm originally from the southwest Missouri area and moved to St. Louis in 2017 after graduating with my MBA from Missouri State University. Shortly after, I met my husband Phil and St. Louis became home. I am a die-hard dog mom of two, Trio and Ellie, and we all love walks, hikes, going to the lake, and treats! We eat way too many tacos and consider ourselves amateur margarita connoisseurs. We enjoy hosting friends for game nights, BBQs, beer-brewing, and bonfires.  

Fall in love with us

Finding the perfect planner is a lot like dating... Most planners offer similar services and competitive pricing, but we know it takes a lot more to find that special someone you trust with one of the most important days of your life. 
​We'd be thrilled to meet with you in person, virtually, or over the phone to learn about your wedding plans so far
and discuss how we can help create your best day ever! Packages are designed to be customized for your unique event.
