Willmus Weddings: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Working with Willmus Weddings is always a treat! As a rental vendor, we truly appreciate the level of organization and clear communication Heather and Christophe bring to every event. Heather and Christophe are true professionals who clearly care about their clients and their fellow vendors. They make the coordination process seamless, from initial planning to the final breakdown. If you’re looking for a dedicated, creative, and highly organized planning team, we can’t recommend Willmus Weddings enough!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I loved working with Heather as our wedding planner and Cristophe as our videographer! We had a very small wedding but didn’t know where to start with booking and scheduling vendors. Heather made the process so easy for us and we were able to just enjoy our day without having to worry about any of the behind the scenes! The wedding turned out so beautifully thanks to Heather and Cristophe captured the day so well with his video! We can’t thank them enough!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience working with Heather from Willmus Weddings. She was super easy to communicate with, always quick to respond, and very clear over email and text , especially on the day of the event, which made everything run smoothly. Really appreciated how organized and courteous she was throughout. Would love to work together again!
Fantastic experience: We are so grateful to have had Christophe as our wedding photographer. From the moment they arrived, they brought such calm, positive energy. They caught every tiny detail and emotion — the candid laughs, the tears, the intimate moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking and feel so “us.” We’ll treasure them forever. If you want someone talented, professional, and genuinely kind, look no further. M&Y
Fantastic experience: Heather did a phenomenal job helping us plan our wedding! In addition to keeping us on schedule and remembering all the small details leading up to the wedding, she was vital day of from ensuring we ran on schedule to helping to clean mud out of my wedding dress. We'd strongly recommend her services! Additionally, we hire Christophe as our photographer for the day. They say the sign of a good photographer is that you never see them, and we never saw Christophe unless he was asking if there were any additional photos he could take for us. He did a great job of also helping model us which was beyond helpful as neither of us had been professional photos taken before. Thank you to both for making our day truly perfect!
Fantastic experience: Heather was truly exceptional. She was incredibly meticulous and always one step ahead, making the entire planning process feel seamless. She listened to every want and need, offered great advice when asked, and stayed on top of absolutely everything. I felt so supported and stress-free thanks to her. Christophe was equally amazing. His energy was infectious, and he made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. Despite difficult weather, he captured an unbelievable number of beautiful photos and never missed a moment. His dedication and talent really showed. I would 10/10 recommend both Heather and Christophe. They helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect.
Fantastic experience: As a DJ (MUIR MUSIC Entertainment) in the Central Coast area, Willmus Weddings came here and killed it! They were organized and so easy to work with. For our Indian Wedding, we got rained out, and these ladies rallied together and got it all done. The couple were thrilled with their whole day. Would love working with them again some day.
Fantastic experience: We worked with both Heather and Christophe for our wedding and I highly recommend them both. They are fairly priced, communicative, and kind. Overall an absolute pleasure to work with! Heather was our wedding planner and I truly feel like our wedding day would not have happened without her. She connected us with the perfect venue and talented vendors and handled all of the hard parts so we could handle the fun parts. She made sure everyone worked cohesively together and stuck to the timeline. Our wedding day went off without a hitch and we owe it mostly to Heather. Christophe was our videographer and he captured the day perfectly. Our videos were edited beautifully and our personalities really came through. He also finished them so quickly! If you are getting married in the San Diego area, Willmus is the best team to work with.
Fantastic experience: As a musician vendor, I can confidently say that Chris and Heather from Willmus Weddings are an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, organized, and kind throughout the process. Highly recommended! — Violines Kamayd (Alex)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely Perfect! A Stress-Free Wedding Day! We had the pleasure of working with Heather as our Day of Wedding Planner, and I can't recommend her enough! From our very first meeting, she made the entire process so stress-free. She was on top of communication with all our vendors, managing the details, and removing a huge load from my shoulders in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Her expertise shone during the wedding rehearsal, which she coordinated with efficiency- it was smooth and quick, ensuring everyone knew their roles. On the day of the wedding, Heather and her assistant were completely on top of everything behind the scenes, allowing me, my now-spouse, friends, and family to relax and soak in the joy of the celebration. The entire day was seamless and stress-free, all thanks to Heather's planning and professionalism. If you want to enjoy your wedding day without a single worry, hire Heather! She is truly a gem in the industry.
Fantastic experience: Heather was wonderful! We hired her based on the amazing reviews Willmus Weddings have. And now I can see why! We chose the Month Of Coordination and from the moment she started, she was on fire. She provided multiple checklists and thought about details that we had overlooked. When I didn't have an answer for something regarding a vendor, she always made it point to reach out to the vendor directly instead of having me do it. I was naturally anxious the day of the wedding but Heather took great care of us and I felt completely stressed-free.
Fantastic experience: Using Willmus Weddings for coordination and photography was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. Heather was professional, helpful, and ensured the entire event ran seamlessly. Christophe ensured first look and family photos ran smoothly while also taking gorgeous shots of the various moments of the day. We have nothing but compliments about how well he worked with our disabled and young family members. During the planning process, it was very obvious Willmus Weddings have strong professional relationships with the wedding industry in San Diego (which helped make the process even smoother!) Choosing them as our vendors kept the event stress-free, helped us to be present in the moment, and ensured we weren't worrying about logistics at all throughout the day. On a personal level, they're lovely people and we enjoyed all of our planning and wedding-day interactions with them - on top of us, many of our wedding party members told us much they liked Heather/Christophe. If you are having a wedding in the San Diego area, we strongly recommend hiring Willmus Weddings for coordination and photography.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Christophe and Heather and was impressed from start to finish. Clear communication, helpful direction, and fast turnaround. Their talent shows in every image. The photos are amazing.
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe are an amazing duo! We hired Heather for month of coordination for our wedding at the Thursday Club. She was instrumental in the day going off exactly as planned and key in keeping us on track during the planning process. She thought of little details I would never have thought to consider. Day of my husband and I did not have to worry about anything but enjoying the day and our friends and family. She is very easy to work with and super knowledgeable with local vendors. She was great with both the vendors she recommended and the ones we found ourselves. Christophe did both our engagement photos and wedding. The photos were stunning, and he made us feel very at ease and not as awkward as we normally would be. Had multiple guests at the wedding come up and comment how thorough and nice Christophe was, noting that he was always in the right spot to capture the moment! If you're planning a Southern California wedding, you could not find a better planner and photographer!
Fantastic experience: It’s always such a pleasure working with Willmus Weddings! As a florist, I truly appreciate their professionalism, creativity, and genuine kindness. They have an incredible eye for beauty and emotion, capturing every moment in such an effortless and meaningful way. Collaborating with them is always inspiring, and I couldn’t recommend them more!
Fantastic experience: We’ve worked with Willmus on numerous events, and they’re simply the best! Always so responsive, organized, and professional. Heather is the sweetest — calm, collected, and always there to make sure everything goes perfectly. Couldn’t recommend them more!
Fantastic experience: I worked with Heather and her team for the day of wedding planning and Christophe was our photographer for the day. They were both amazing. They are detail oriented, professional, and kept us on schedule throughout the day. Despite having a more “difficult” wedding venue (military base), they made everything as easy as it could be with all of our vendors. Christophe went above and beyond to get beautiful photos that we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives and remember our special day. He also took care to get some very sentimental photos with my father’s military uniform. You won’t regret hiring them, but you’ll definitely be missing out if you don’t.
Fantastic experience: As a videographer with over a decade filming weddings, I cross paths with all types of planners. This past week was my first time working with Willmus Weddings/Heather and I could not of been happier with how she handled all the logistics. I don’t usually write reviews, but Heather’s approach made the day so smooth and enjoyable for me that I had to share my experience. I highly recommend Willmus Weddings to any couple looking for a solid & reliable planner. Her timeline allowed me to get every shot I could of hoped for which will translate into a film the couple will cherish forever :) Thanks Heather!
Fantastic experience: We reached out to interview a variety of wedding planners seven months before our wedding, and Heather at Willmus Weddings immediately stood out. From the start, it seemed she was not only on point, with close connections to all of the vendors (photographers, videographer- who conveniently happened to be her husband - florist, lighting, makeup, and hair), but she also genuinely cared about making the day as special as possible for us. We initially met at the wedding site, where she walked us through all the details. Later, we met again at the site for our tasting, and she guided us through decisions that would have been overwhelming without her input. At the six-week check-in, she ensured everything was aligned and every detail handled, leaving little to no lift on our side. The day before the wedding, Heather had all the vendors confirmed and seamlessly managed everything behind the scenes. We didn’t have a worry in the world as she walked our wedding party through the rehearsal and made sure everything was clearly communicated. On the day itself, she had an assistant present who stayed until the very end, and we couldn’t imagine our wedding going any better thanks to her focus on detail and her personal touch. We have no reservations about recommending her for any wedding in need of direction and coordination. If you choose Willmus Weddings, you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Christophe was such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I were married in April at Victoria Ranch and Willmus Weddings was able to capture our rustic romantic vibe to a tee. Would recommend!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I got married in April of this year. I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Willmus Weddings (Christophe) as our videographer. I wanted to share a few words about our experience! From our first time communicating via email to meeting in-person to sending us our wedding video, Christophe was very helpful, ecstatic, and understanding to our requests. He made us look so intimate and special for our wedding video! Our hearts go out to Christophe and his wife for making our cherished dreams come true. We will live the wonderful moments my husband and I shared during our wedding forever thanks to them! I highly recommend hiring Willmus Weddings for your videographer for a few reasons: pricing was very reasonable and saved us big time at the end!. Christophe was professional and kind about giving us direction for shooting, making our experience pleasant and joyful throughout the whole process. He is timely in response and overall we were so pleased working with him! Thank you, Willmus Weddings, for creating something so special to us!
Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with both Heather and Christophe. There are a lot of options for wedding planners and photographers in SD, but I’m so happy I chose Willmus Weddings. Their package deal for planning and photography was too sweet to pass up! They are both professional and just a joy to work with. Heather is organized and on top of everything, and I felt very supported throughout the entire process. Any time I had a question or concern, I could contact her and get some peace of mind very quickly. Christophe is direct and great at getting people organized for photos. He also accommodated my very very last minute request to add videography (literally the day of my wedding), which I am so glad I did because the video turned out perfectly. Oh, it was also a bonus that they had already worked with/at our ceremony and reception venues for previous weddings! If I had to do it all over again, I would choose them in a heartbeat. I highly recommend going with Willmus Weddings for your wedding planning and photography/videography needs.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Heather & Christophe for event management and photography/videography our son's wedding. It was just absolutely amazing. They were patient and cooperative. Ours was a large multi-cultural wedding. They made it enjoyable for us. Heather worked on the detailing. The photography is ethereal. Christophe is one of the most talented photographers ever. Not only is he artistic, he also understood it is a special event for us and patiently took many many pictures and videos. Each one is incredible. They made the event extra special for our family.
Fantastic experience: I could not be happier with the photos Christophe took. The minute we met he put me at ease, I was pretty nervous. I don't know how he did it but he managed to capture every specific moment of bliss I felt on my wedding day. There was a particular moment we were on the dance floor and everyone was dancing around us and I kissed my husband and just felt so happy, and wouldn't you know he got it! Perfection! I can't wait to hang our photos everywhere.
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe are the best Best Coordinator and Photographer Duo!!! They went above and beyond and truly a matchmade in heaven from helping us with our schedule, officiant, florals, help with our vendors, and photography! Basically EVERYTHING. Our family and I can't stop talking about how organized, professional, and friendly they were on our wedding day. We highly recommend working with Willmus Weddings!
Fantastic experience: 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
Fantastic experience: Honestly they are the best wedding planner and photographer team ever!! The entire process which is supposed to be a bit stressful, was seamless and FUN! Chris and Heather are rockstars!! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Hiring Christophe of Willmus Weddings was easily one of the best decisions my husband and I made in regards to planning our wedding at La Jolla Cove Rooftop. He was so easy to work with and captured beautiful footage of our wedding day. He had the most amazing energy and was extremely accommodating. We received so many compliments from our bridal party and family that worked with him. We did not worry about missing any special moments of our wedding because we knew we were in great hands with Christophe. If you are in search of a videographer for your special day, you will not regret going with Willmus Weddings. Thank you so much Christophe!!!
Fantastic experience: 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!!! - The Gonzalezes
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: We are SO glad we hired Christophe from Willmus Weddings to do our photography & videography for our wedding at Kona Kai in October! Christophe was friendly, professional, and so easy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, we were comfortable with everything and his communication was on point. The day of the wedding he made taking photos a truly enjoyable experience. Not only is he a great photographer, but also has a great sense of humor and is just and all around nice person to be around. When we got back our photos & video we were absolutely delighted with how they turned out. The photos are just gorgeous and he captured our wedding day perfectly. From the getting-ready photos, family portraits, bridal couple photos, dance floor, and all the details in between, the photos are stunning. We couldn't be happier with his work. We initially weren't sure about doing videography or not but WOW I a so glad we decided to because the video also turned out amazing. Christophe captured our wedding day perfectly and I highly recommend him for your wedding photography/videography needs!
Fantastic experience: We couldn't have asked for better! Heather was an incredible wedding planner, making everything run smoothly and effortlessly. Christophe, our photographer, took stunning photos that perfectly captured the joy of our day. They both exceeded our expectations and made our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend their services!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe were amazing partners for us in our wedding planning! From the moment we met them, we recognized that they are experts and would bring something unique to our special day. Heather is extremely organized, professional and brings a depth of knowledge to the intricacies of planning a wedding that we appreciated. We relied on her knowledge and partnership with top-notch vendors for all of our key elements (band, floral, hair/make-up, dessert) and were thrilled with every single one of them. On our wedding day, we were able to simply sit back and enjoy of the festivities, as Heather and team executed the day flawlessly! Christophe brings energy and passion which translates into a relaxed atmosphere and anlso brought out fun and natural reactions from us and our wedding party. He has an incredible eye for how to use the surroundings to create unique and timeless photos and a wedding video that captured our day perfectly! We simply cannot thank Heather and Christophe enough, and highly recommend them!!!
Fantastic experience: Working with Christophe at Willmus Weddings was such a pleasure. From our first phone call to getting our wedding video delivered, the whole experience was so enjoyable and easy to navigate thanks to Christophe's dynamite personality. We absolutely love our wedding video and cannot thank Christophe enough for capturing all of the best moments and beautifully weaving them together to tell our story.
Fantastic experience: While Christophe's amazing portfolio speaks for itself, my husband and I wanted to share our five-star experience with him capturing our engagement and wedding day photos! Christophe thoughtfully planned our photoshoots with us and advised us how we should structure our day to ensure we captured all the important moments. He has extensive knowledge of the best areas to take photos in Coronado Island and La Jolla and came up with photo spots we never would have thought of. Our friends and family all remarked how easy-going, friendly and fun the photo experience was, as Christophe helped guide us through the photos, ensuring we were engaged, having fun and being ourselves. He struck the perfect balance of providing direction for poses, but also capturing candid moments. Lastly, Christophe's attention to detail was evident all day. He helped spot and correct small details with wardrobe, hair and poses to ensure we had picture perfect moments. We are so happy with the end results and can't thank Christophe enough for such polished and magazine-worthy photos of our engagement and wedding day!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I got married in April of this year and we felt so grateful to have Christophe video our special day! He went above and beyond to capture all the important moments. We loved how Christophe artistically weaved the clips together and made our video feel so unique and personalized. He is amazing and you won’t be disappointed in his work!
Fantastic experience: Echoing all the positive reviews, Heather was an excellent wedding planner who helped us so much for our wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla! She went above and beyond, detail oriented and responsive and keeping us on track while also being empathic and supportive. Our San Diego wedding itself was beautiful and amazing and she was there to help us every step of the way. Christophe was a joy to work with and we can't wait to see the photos and videos.
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: We were referred to Willmus Weddings by a close family friend after their wedding in San Diego. We saw the photos and the video at different wedding venues and could not have been more impressed! We contacted Christophe at Willmus Weddings and received quick correspondence. Christophe has impeccable communication skills, he is organized and his talent speaks for itself with the results. He has been focusing his skillset in the wedding industry for more than 10 years and his creativity and passion definitely shows in his work. His packages and prices reflect his work as well - this is a once in a lifetime day and he ensures to capture all the special moments and memories. He comes highly complimented and recommended in all aspects!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing to work with Chris! The best wedding photographer! He gave us quick tips on how to pose, where to walk and look! It was super fun! You know you work with a professional when you get amazing shots and enjoying the process!
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe were amazing during the entire wedding planning process! Heather was very attentive, had above and beyond communication, and made the process so much easier. Christophe has an amazing eye and every picture came out amazing! Our special day went perfect and we could not have done it without them. They are worth every penny!
Fantastic experience: INCREDIBLE! 100/10 would recommend! Fun Story: After me and my Fiancé booked our venue and began looking for our Videographer, I googled the venue to see if any videos came up. Willmus Weddings was the first video I watched, and I instantly FELL IN LOVE! No one else could compare. Working with Christophe was amazing! He was funny, light-hearted, and gave wonderful direction! We never felt awkward, and he had such great prompts! The video he crafted perfectly described our day as a whole. I managed not to cry on my wedding day, but I teared up watching the video he edited together. Cannot recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe made our micro beach wedding in La Jolla a dream come true! Heather was so easy to work with and thought of all the stuff I didn’t buy I never felt overwhelmed at all. Christophe absolutely nailed the photography, we were so happy with our photos! 10/10 would recommend working with them!!
Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of working with both Heather as my planner and Christophe as our photographer/videographer. They made the day feel effortless and fun and their assistants were by our side the entire night whenever we needed something. Heather and Christophe are the perfect combination of organization + keeping the energy up during all the stressful parts of planning
Fantastic experience: Christophe is an excellent videographer. His personality immediately puts you at ease when you’re in front of the camera. I was impressed with how easily he worked with our photographers and how you never noticed he was filming; he just was. Oh and the edit he put together was terrific. We watch it all the time and my mom was teary eyed when she saw it. I highly recommend Christophe for all your videography needs (we have a separate review for Heather who was incredible. Just hire them both and you won’t regret it)
Fantastic experience: Hiring Heather for planning and coordination was, hands down, the single best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process. I really appreciated her unique combo of getting down to business but still being a sweet, genuine, kind person who you'd want to be best friends with. All of this rang true throughout our planning process! On our wedding day, she executed everything so smoothly that we didn't need to worry about a thing. I'm sure there were plenty of things and details behind-the-scenes that she took care of and preemptively handled so that they didn't even need to come to our attention - so we could just enjoy and not worry on our day. Our wedding day was even better than we could have dreamed, and Heather played a significant role in why! Her experience, warm personality, and ability to "get things done" makes her the best choice we made for our wedding planning. She has our strongest recommendation, you won't regret hiring her!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: Christophe is an extraordinary wedding who can transform your special day into a timeless visual story, as he did ours. His talent in capturing the most intimate and candid moments is remarkable. Christophe's professionalism and calming presence make him an ideal choice for capturing the magic of your wedding day. If you're seeking a photographer who can turn your wedding into a beautiful and unforgettable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Christophe!
Fantastic experience: Hire Heather & Christophe immediately!! They made our wedding at Martin Johnson House in La Jolla unforgettable! With our busy work schedules we chose the full planning package and we couldn’t be happier. Heather was a clear communicator and she does not forget a single detail. She literally thinks of everything! Every vendor she recommended was a perfect fit for us and exceeded our expectations. She kept us very calm and relaxed in the weeks leading up to the wedding and was there to coordinate everything the day of. We also decided to book Christophe as the photographer and videographer. On the day of the wedding, he and his team were so much fun! They kept everyone laughing and moving. Our families and friends had amazing things to say about this wonderful duo!! They keep talking about how the event was smooth, fun, and beautiful. Heather and Christophe have worked numerous wedding at Martin Johnson House in La Jolla and their experience paid off in every aspect with seamless transitions allowing us to actually eat our entire dinner and maximize time with guests all while taking the most beautiful pictures at the ideal locations. We could not recommend Willmus Weddings more! Thank you, Heather & Christophe!
Fantastic experience: Our wedding planner introduced us to Christophe, and WOW we are so glad that we met this wonderful and talented human being. On the wedding day -- Christophe just brought such good energy to the room. He has such a caring heart and a knack for capturing the perfect moments. And once we got our wedding video -- my partner and I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video. It's on constant replay. Christophe brings both fun and exciting elements to the video, while carefully incorporating the sweet, tender moments of the big day. Thank you Christophe for capturing one of our favorite days. If you are hesitant about booking a videographer, do it! And book it with Christophe if you are in the San Diego area :)
Fantastic experience: What an excellent experience we had.. just had to share. We were searching for photographer to memorialize our growing family. Our friends recommended us Willmus weddings, we obliged, and we are so happy we did. Anything from start to finish was on top of it. Chris & Heather are a passionate talented couple (family business even better), super down to earth, always listening to your comments but also super pro-active always with great ideas. We got the best pictures of our family ever. We are printing them to display in the house. Please do yourself a favor and contact them!
Fantastic experience: Hiring Heather to coordinate and Christophe to capture our big day was one of the best choices we made planning our wedding! We got married at The Thursday Club in San Diego, a venue they were very familiar with, and they guided us to maximize the space in the best way possible. Heather thought of every. single. detail. and ensured our ideas came to life - including highlighting our little niece's birthday. Additionally, Heather pulled out all the stops to coordinate childcare for our large group at the very last minute when plans changed unexpectedly - such a lifesaver! Christophe was incredibly friendly and made us feel comfortable taking photos without taking away from our experience enjoying the day with our guests. Communication was so streamlined as they work beautifully as a husband-wife team. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for coordination and photography services.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Willmus Weddings for organizing our wedding, everything went perfectly and thanks to their professionalism and dedication they enabled us to enjoy this unique day. We are based in Europe and were planning to get married in San Diego, so distance was never an obstacle from the moment they took charge of the project. Willmus Weddings exceeded our expectations both in the choice of service providers (officiant, florist, etc.) and in their coordination and support. Moreover, the pictures delivered are fabulous and were processed very quickly. We highly recommend Willmus Weddings!
Merci Nicolas, c'était un plaisir !
Fantastic experience: Excellent service! Christophe was amazing! Great to work with for such an important emotional day. We are so glad to have selected Wilmus Weddings for our daughter's wedding in La Jolla. We have received many compliments from our guests. The film was perfectly edited, great song selection and delivered within one month after the wedding. Awesome company!
Thank you for the kind words Linda <3
Fantastic experience: My new husband and I have not had the greatest photography moments in our lives, but Willmus Weddings and crew proved us differently. Waiting a month after feeling so hesitant about our wedding was well worth it and not sure why I spent the energy. Christophe was incredible from the moment he pulled out the camera to the moment there were tears streaming down our faces from staring at our pictures, jaw open wide. While we needed direction for poses and what not, Christophe was also open to all our ideas and desires of memories needed. The enthusiasm in his craft made the experience great for everyone in attendance. I highly encourage photo and video since there were moments captured, I did not know existed. Needless to say, our wedding video has been watched almost every day since receiving it. Thank you, Christophe, and Willmus Weddings for making the day better than I could have imagined and having all the proof of the beauty of the day; John and I are grateful for you!
Fantastic experience: Hiring Heather and Christophe as our wedding planner and videographer was one of the best decisions we made. They surpassed all our expectations and created a truly magical experience for us. Heather's flawless planning and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our wedding was executed to perfection. From the charming lawn games at cocktail hour to the elegant table decorations, every detail was thoughtfully arranged, leaving us in awe of her dedication and expertise. Christophe's extraordinary videography skills captured the essence of our wedding day in a breathtaking way. The wedding video he created for us beautifully captured the highlights, emotions, and precious moments, allowing us to relive the joyous day over and over again. Throughout the entire process, Heather and Christophe demonstrated the utmost professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care. They made our special day worry-free and unforgettable, going above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. We felt at ease knowing that they were taking care of every detail. We highly recommend Heather and Christophe's services to anyone in search of a dedicated team that goes above and beyond. They turned our dream wedding into a reality, and we are forever grateful for their hard work and commitment. Thank you, Heather and Christophe, for exceeding our expectations and making our wedding day truly magical!
Fantastic experience: Heather is absolutely the best wedding coordinator one could ever ask for! She made our wedding planning experience an absolute breeze. From the tiniest details to the biggest decisions, Heather was there to help us out and keep us from stressing out. First off, Heather is super organized. I have never seen anyone handle so many things at once and still keep everything in perfect order. She had everything under control from day one, coordinating with vendors, making sure the timeline was on point, and taking care of all those little things we hadn't even thought about. It was such a relief knowing that we had someone like Heather in our corner, making sure everything ran smoothly. Heather is also a very empathetic person. Whenever we felt overwhelmed or unsure about something, Heather was right there, listening to us and offering her support. She genuinely cared about making our day special and stress-free. Her kindness and understanding made us feel like we were working with a friend rather than just a coordinator. Heather's attention to detail made my life easy. She didn't miss a beat when it came to our wedding. Whether it was the seating arrangements, the music playlist, or the floral arrangements, Heather had it all covered. Working with Heather was an absolute joy. She was always available to answer our questions and offer helpful advice. We felt like we could trust her completely, and that gave us so much peace of mind throughout the entire process. Heather truly loves what she does, and it shows in the way she treats her clients. Honestly, if you're looking for a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make your day incredible, look no further than Heather. She is simply amazing. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day perfect. Thank you, Heather!
Fantastic experience: I have a bakery and we work with Willmus weddings a lot, I very much appreciate how kind and friendly Heather and her team are even when there is chaos and crazy things going on! We recently worked together at the lane and it was just gorgeous!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience working with Willmus Weddings. From initial consult, to locking in the timeline, and the day-of interactions, everything went off without a hitch and he was responsive and genuinely easy to work with. Super positive attitude, and got along with the other vendors perfectly. The end-product, the montage video and the raw footage, were all well worth it, and I can say that I'd recommend Willmus Weddings for videography in a heartbeat. He tied into the mixing board to get the best audio feed, mixed in some day-of drone footage, included just enough of the ceremony and vows, and caught the beauty of the day and celebration. We also did a surprise dance routine, and he and his assistant got multiple angles of it and captured the excitement in the air and the energy of the dance, because they moved around and caught it from a stationary angle, so the combination of splices from each brought it to life in the final montage video. Thank you Christophe!
Fantastic experience: We hired on Willmus for planning and photography for our wedding this past March, and we had such a great experience! Christophe helped us every step of the way with recommending vendors, and prompting us through our to-do list. Most importantly, Christophe and Celina helped the day of the wedding to go smoothly according to the timeline. We had a small wedding with just family, and all the guests kept mentioning how well-run everything was! On the photography side, Christophe did both our engagement shoot and the wedding. We really appreciated his eye for details, and suggestions on poses to try. We love both sets of photos! Overall we really enjoyed working with Christophe and highly recommend Willmus!
Fantastic experience: We loved working with Willmus Weddings. We hired Christophe to photograph our wedding and the photos are amazing! We’re in love with them, they came out beautifully! And Christophe was so much fun to work with and the whole wedding party loved him. Thank you Christophe!
Fantastic experience: To put it simply: HIRE WILLMUS WEDDINGS RIGHT NOW! We hired Heather as our wedding planner and Christophe as our videographer for our big day. After 1.5 year of postponements, we finally had our special day last month and it would not have been as perfect as it was without them. Heather answered all of our questions, helped us pick the best vendors and most importantly stuck by our side and kept us calm even through our postponement. She is extremely organized, genuinely cares and sticks up for you as a client. Christophe brought such a relaxed and fun energy to our videography needs. Much to our surprise, he also had such an insanely fast turn around time. The video is UNREAL. He did such a magical job intertwining our vows, the ceremony and speeches with scenes of the day. We watched our video 20+ times on the day of receipt and have received so many compliments on it. Also shoutout to Clemence who was the lead coordinator for our actual Wedding Day. She ran around like a mad woman ensuring every little detail was perfect. Our day would not have been as fun, seamless and beautiful had she not been there! Thank you so much Heather, Christophe and Clemence. You are truly a dream team. You are forever engrained in our memories of this special day and we cannot thank you enough!
Fantastic experience: We had the honor of booking Christophe for our wedding day photography, 11.12.22. He was and is, an absolute joy! Not only is he incredible at his work but he is professional, efficient, kind, funny, detailed, and speaks Spanish, He is exceptional!!! He made our wedding day photography seamless and SO fun. The bridal party and family members raved about how great he was with getting timely photos- he had a list y’all!! My husband and I truly feel blessed to have such an incredible photographer be part of our special day. He was like spider man, he was everywhere at the right time and we appreciate the last minute changes he gladly accepted when we presented it to him. I’m not kidding when I say, book him NOW!!!!! Christophe, aka MVP, Thank YOU!!!! The only thing we regret is not booking you sooner so we could of had a better chance at also booking your other half for coordination- totally our fault . We appreciate you tremendously! Seeing the sneak peak of photos has us anxiously awaiting for the others. We are in love with your work!!!! We adore you! Thanks a million! Jess&Jeremy
Fantastic experience: We could not of been happier with Christophe as our videographer for our wedding in Oct 2022! His work is absolutely amazing and worth every single penny, not to mention he is super responsive and kept communication throughout our entire planning process. I highly recommend Willmus Weddings for all your wedding videos.
Fantastic experience: WOW! Hire Willmus Wedding right now. You will NOT regret it. We were lucky enough to have both Heather as our Coordinator and Christophe as our videographer. Heather made our entire process so seamless and we felt incredibly confident and at ease with her handling all our details. She is beyond organized, thoughtful, and calm, and that really made the time leading up to our wedding less stressful. Christophe brought such a fun energy to shooting our wedding and we felt very comfortable with him. We know the video is going to be spectacular! Heather & Christophe are an absolute dream team!
Fantastic experience: Our experience with Heather & Christophe was a dream! They were so sweet, professional, organized, and we are so incredibly happy with their amazing services. Wedding organization, photography and video all turned out even better than we imagined, and we would recommend them to anyone getting married in the near future! Thank you SO much Heather, Christophe and team! ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: It is not often that as a DJ, I leave a review for a vendor but, I felt that it was important to include the perspective of another vendor who works with the planner in a different capacity. As a wedding DJ, I work with hundreds of couples and planners every single year…and I have to say that Heather, and the entire Willmus Weddings team is simply PHENOMENAL, and provide a smooth planning experience for all from start to finish. Heather is extremely organized, detail oriented but more importantly is down to earth and a breeze to communicate with. You can tell how much she values her clients and how seriously she takes each wedding by the care and attention to detail she gives each wedding element. There is a reason Willmus Weddings is considered one of SD’s (and Southern California’s) BEST!
Fantastic experience: tl;dr She has 100+ 5-star reviews for a reason. Book her if she is free for your date before it's too late! We hired Heather for the entire wedding process as we do not live in San Diego anymore. From the start, she provided us with tons of options that suited our style and budget. All of the vendors we chose were fantastic; some greatly exceeded our expectations. Through the entire process and even on the day of, she made sure every this stress free. During our wedding, we had some unexpected things happen (as with any wedding) and Heather was calm and resolved things quickly! We even asked for some last minute changes that she incorporated without hesitation. Heather is honestly such a pro at what she does. We loved working with her and would happily work with her again. We've already recommended her to friends looking to plan their wedding in San Diego. I couldn't have imagined a better wedding and Heather was a huge part of why it was so successful! If you are reading this and have any hesitation, don't, she really is the best. You're in great hands with Heather!
Fantastic experience: Hiring Heather and Christophe was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! They made the dream team, and made our San Diego wedding truly one of the best day of our life. *Coordination (Month of) Heather’s a calm presence, great communicator, thoughtful, and very organized. She answered all my questions throughout the wedding planning process. Even the day before the wedding when I was stressed about the excessive heat warning, she was calm and gave great suggestions. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond - coordinated the vendors, made sure the itinerary go smoothly, checked on the wedding party, took care of all the details including setup, and storing/organizing all our items neatly. She even made sure to keep us hydrated and fed throughout the day! :) My family and wedding party all complimented on how efficient and organized Heather was. She made the wedding day stress-free for us, and we really couldn’t have done it without her help. Thank you! *Photography and Videography Christoph and his team made the wedding photo experience easy and fun! We are usually pretty awkward and stiff in photos, but we looked great and natural in the photos. Christophe was so on top of the schedule and helped us with the logistics through the whole day, even among the getting-ready chaos. Our wedding party was comfortable and had a lot fun with the creative photo ideas. I LOVED the photos from the sneak peak! We could feel the happiness of the day just looking back to the photos. Really can’t thank Willmus Wedding enough, and can’t wait to see the video and the full album!! :)
Fantastic experience: Things I looked for when searching for a wedding videographer: quality of edited video, price, easy/fast communication, good vibes. Cristophe brought ALL OF THAT plus more! Got married at Tivoli in Fallbrook, CA (Trademark Venue) 08/14/22 and since the first day when we had our phone consult with Cristophe, we knew it would be a great fit. He is so organized and so easy to work with. Even the guests/other vendors complimented how great he was during our wedding and after. There were a lot of things that didn’t go as planned but it still felt like the perfect night because of how well our DJ, photographer, and videographer worked together as a team. It was honestly the dream vendor team we had for our big day and Cristophe played a big part in that. He got all of our important memories captured and we didn’t even have to bug him for our video (my sister’s videographer did not get her videos back to her till 2 years after her wedding, yikes!) I highly recommend Cristophe for weddings because he is just so amazing! Thank you Cristophe/ Willmus Weddings, you truly made our big day so special!!! Oh and I recommend buying the raw footage, it was so nice to look back at all the other videos. Ok that's it, don't look anywhere else! Book Cristophe!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Fantastic experience: Honestly can't say enough about the value of having Heather walk through the wedding planning process with us. She is precise and misses no details. Her organization made every part of our daughter's vision for her wedding be realized and it was stunning! We were able to relax and enjoy the day fully and joyfully with no stress. I highly recommend Willmus Weddings!
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe went above and beyond to make our wedding a incredible day! Heather is an amazing wedding planner and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We appreciated how easy she was to work with and her attention to detail. Christophe did an incredible job with our wedding photos and they turned out amazing. He did such a great job capturing all the special moments. We are so happy we had their help to plan and capture our special day!
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe are dream makers. When we decided to hold our wedding across the country in San Diego (we live in NJ), we knew we'd need a really strong planner to manage the project and help us bring our vision into reality. As soon as we had our first call with Heather, we knew we were in great hands. She shared detailed timelines, planning documents and next steps every step of the way. She was also a great advisor about the design and aesthetics we were trying to achieve. More than anything, we trusted her because we considered a friend, not a vendor. As for Christophe - there is no better photographer to work with. His sense of humor and light hearted nature had a way of putting minds at ease, enabling the best possible photos to be taken. We first met him on the beach in Coronado to take our engagement photos, and we had an awesome time during what could have been a stressful experience. From then on we knew we'd be in great shape for the wedding. We couldn't be happier with the photos he captured, they are simply stunning (and not just because I have a hot wife, but because Christophe is a master photographer). I'd also like to shout out Joe the videographer who Christophe works with, he does a great job and you'll never regret having a highlight video of your wedding. Highly recommend. The Willmus team are a powerhouse who will make you feel like yours is the most important wedding they've ever planned. We have nothing but love for them and will always be thankful for what they did for us!
Fantastic experience: There is everything to love about the Willmus Wedding team! The wedding coordination, the photography, videography, and the drone footage were everything we wanted. We had a perfect dream wedding. They kept us cool throughout all the many wedding planning details and made us feel so special on our wedding day. We couldn’t have done it without Willmus Weddings. If you’re considering hiring them, do it! I’m certain you’ll be as impressed as we are!
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe made our dream wedding come true! Words cannot describe how amazing our special day went and it's all thanks to them. From early planning to the big day, they helped us plan every little detail. Our ceremony was flawless and the pictures came out spectacular! We highly recommend these two to make your dream wedding come true.
Fantastic experience: Seriously, Heather is a savior and an amazing wedding coordinator. She obviously has a ton of experience as she was very cool and collected, organized, and had my wedding day go PERFECTLY! Literally had such a perfect day. I am typically a super anxious person, especially when it comes to planning so it was important for me to have someone who is incredibly organized and goes above and beyond. Heather is beyond stellar! From the beginning, even before her official contract (we booked her one month + day of coordination) started with us, she provided us with extensive lists to help with planning for the future and even some help/recommendations for vendors. These lists were also used as the month drew near, and were amazing for establishing timelines and lists of everything you ever need. She is almost always available to help you out either by text or call, or she will call back as soon as she can to help out. My family had so many last-minute changes, and Heather was accommodating to everything and helped me feel at ease. My husband and I cannot recommend Heather enough! Clemence was also an assistant on our wedding day and was also very sweet and professional. Every little detail was taken care of for the wedding; it helped that Heather had a ton of experience working with my venue. Everything from getting my vendors organized and there on time and providing all the info for them, to small things like having my flats ready for me under the sweetheart table for after my dances. Amazing 10/10 coordinator!
Fantastic experience: From the moment my now husband and I spoke to Christophe, we knew we loved his personality, but it wasn't until the moment that we saw his videography work that we knew we had to hire him as our wedding videographer. In the months and days leading up to our wedding day, he was prompt, communicative and simply a pleasure to work with. He also collaborated well with our wedding photographer. Everyone says that your wedding day goes by so fast that it can be a bit of a blur and it's true, so we were ecstatic to see all the beautiful intricate details, guest reactions and emotions that Christophe captured on video that we otherwise would have missed. He also told us what to expect for the turnaround time for video editing, which we appreciated. We were so grateful that he was available for our wedding date and we give our highest recommendation for you to use him as your wedding videographer!
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe are a fantastic team! As a bride who has only been to 2 weddings before my own, I have been put at ease by Heather's exceptional organizational skills and calming demeanor as well as Christophe's fun personality. The day went very smooth and was even more beautiful as we could ever imagine. The photos turned out candid (just like we wanted) and the video summarized our day and emotions really well! Thank you Willmus Weddings! <3
Fantastic experience: Our wedding was the best day of our lives! Clémence, Emma, Christophe, Joe and the whole team were beyond perfection. They made our wildest dreams come true! Every single person who attended told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that it was like something out of a movie. This was all thanks to Willmus Weddings. They made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. We knew we didn’t have to worry and were able to be fully present and take it all in. From the moment we first spoke to Heather we knew she had our backs. She is professional as well as personable and always has your best interest in mind. She truly cares and that shows in each and every interaction. Christophe was more than just our photographer. He helped guide us and answered all our weirdest questions; his energy was so calming. Clémence was so amazing at making us feel celebrated. She really cared and we could see that on her face throughout the whole day. She also had such a calmness to her and it radiated through. She made us feel like family. There aren’t enough words to thank them all properly. We seriously cannot recommend them enough! They are the absolute best in the business.
Fantastic experience: Easily the most significant return on investment for our entire wedding -- you will never go wrong with leaving it up to Heather and Christophe to deliver a memorable, adventurous experience! My wife and I planned to host our reception in San Diego, even though we live in the bay area, so we had to look for a wedding planner and day-of coordinator to help us out. After contacting several planners in the area, what sold us with Heather, amongst others, was her stellar track record, and her flexibility to work with us through this entire process remotely. In roughly five months, Heather virtually took care of everything. She dealt with all the headaches and pain points of managing a reception, gave us a concrete game plan (and tasteful suggestions) on what we had to act on once we decided on our venue, and referred us to some of San Diego's top-notch vendors, all while fitting our timeline and budget. All I had to do was show up on time for our scheduled virtual syncs, sign the forms, and pay my vendors on time, while Heather took care of everything else! We were also very impressed with how she handled everything on the reception night. Despite the setbacks of moving our dinner plans indoors due to the weather not cooperating, we miraculously stayed on schedule, and not once did we ever have to worry about the little things as Heather always seemed to be on top of things. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend busy soon-to-be newlyweds to work with Heather to make your San Diego wedding vision come to life!
Fantastic experience: We loved our experience with Wilmus Weddings! We hired Christophe for photography and videography and everything turned out perfectly! Christophe was so easygoing and organized from start to finish. We were planning our daughter's wedding in CA from Texas, a daunting task, and all the correspondence we had with him was seamless. We always got his replies within minutes on everything. The day of the wedding, he was able to organize our large group for all the photos we had listed for him in a very timely manner. The photos at the reception were all beautiful as well, capturing all the moments and emotions just as we had hoped. The video he made was absolute perfection. We couldn't have asked for more. He is extremely talented. We are so grateful for the memories we can keep of our daughter's wedding day because of his professionalism and attention to detail. We also hired Heather for our final details and day of coordinating. She was so personable and kind, listening to all the concerns I had in getting all the vendors on the same page as far as timing and decorating. She was able to take a huge weight off of me as mother of the bride, especially in planning all of the final details from 3 states away. On the day of the wedding, all I had to do was arrive at the reception, which was held at a different location than the wedding and a few hours later. When we got there, everything was in place and in perfect order. It looked amazing, despite the fact that we had an outdoor reception under a tent in the freezing cold and rain! She kept the evening flowing with a timeline she had helped us put together. I never had to worry or check on anything. It made the reception something I was able to enjoy! She even helped us get a spill out of my daughter's dress and no one even noticed there had been a mishap. My sanity on this day was all due to Heather. I can't thank her enough.
Fantastic experience: Words cannot even express the gratitude we have towards Heather and Christophe of Willmus Weddings. They made our wedding absolutely magical. We hired Heather for the full service wedding planning and honestly having her by our side from start to finish her was worth every penny. Heather is incredibly organized, thoughtful, thorough, and just a joy to work with. You can feel her passion for this industry and having her guide us through every last detail took a lot of the stress off of us because we totally trusted her and knew we were in good hands. I cannot imagine planning the wedding without her guidance, and we are beyond grateful that she made the experience one that we will never forget. And on top of that, her husband Christophe and his team completely blew us away with their photography and videography. We were initially on the fence about spending the money on the videography, but believe me: it was the best money we spent. The way Christophe and his team captured the essence of who my husband and I are, along with the small moments that made the wedding even more special is simply unbelievable. We have combed through the photos and watched the videos multiple times, and are blown away by the beauty of the memories every single time. Having these are the most amazing time capsule and we feel blessed that we get to revisit the feelings that we had on our wedding day over and over again through these beautiful photos and videos. Honestly, we could not have had the wedding we had without Willmus Weddings and we will be forever grateful that Heather and Christophe were a part of our very special day.
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe are a great wedding planning team and we highly recommend them! Heather planned our entire wedding and was very meticulous in making sure every last detail was taken care of and just the way we wanted. She was able to accommodate very specific requests as well as to handle situations where we'd tell her to pick whatever she thought would go best with our theme. Christophe and his team took amazing photos and created a beautiful video to capture our wedding. You can't go wrong with this team!
Fantastic experience: We hired Christophe for my son’s recent backyard wedding in San Diego (Poway). Christophe was very friendly, responsive and professional. I found his pricing very reasonable and he even offered to manage the Zoom feed on my phone for our out of town family and friends. He was very flexible and worked really well with our photographer and coordinator. On the day of the ceremony Christophe was on time and immediately acclimated to the large backyard, layout, family members etc., yet was somehow very unobtrusive. He captured all the special moments and some great footage with his drone and produced a wonderful “sneak peek” video, even making changes that my son and his wife requested. My son and his wife absolutely loved the longer highlight video too, with all the special moments he captured and how he put them all together to highlight their special story and day. Our whole family will treasure it in the years to come. I would highly recommend Christophe.
Fantastic experience: Christophe was able provide services for our wedding last minute (we finalized the details the month of the wedding). He is the most genuine and charismatic videographer that goes above and beyond for his clients. He provided the teaser and the full-length wedding video well before the agreed upon dates and both videos blew our expectations out of the water. We had a few minor requested edits for the teaser and Christophe provided the edits within the same week! The day of the wedding, Christophe worked so well with our photographer to make everything go as planned as well as ensuring all of the awesome moments were captured. He had my wife and I do a few things that turned out so well in the final video. Nothing but great things to say about Christophe. We were a little ensure if one person would be enough to capture everything but Christophe made sure he was there to capture each and every special moment. All of our guests loved Christophe's awesome personality, 5 stars all around!
Fantastic experience: Now that we've had 2 weeks to relax & recover after our 10/23/21 wedding, we can finally take a moment to express our gratitude and send our sincerest 'Thank You' to the Willmus Dream Team - Heather, Christophe, and Pierre! Derrace and I are SO incredibly thankful and grateful for all of the time & effort, energy, and hard work this amazing team put into our special day. We hired Heather as our Month/Day of Coordinator and she absolutely exceeded all expectations. Heather is a true, real life angel and just the sweetest and kindest soul! She was such a pleasure to work with and her calming, positive energy always brought me peace during the moments I needed it most. She promptly addressed any & all questions/concerns I had throughout planning and never once made me feel like I was being a crazy bride, even though I'm certain I was at times. Our vision for the ceremony and reception wouldn't have come to life without Heather and we'll be forever grateful for all that she did for us in the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding and of course the day of. Heather is knowledgable, detail-oriented, efficient, and did everything to ensure that the whole day ran smoothly. We had a lot of decor (florals, candles, various stationery, signs, frames, etc.) and we are so appreciative for all of the unpacking/setting up + organizing/repacking and transporting she did before & after the event. Heather did all of the heavy lifting, which really allowed us to enjoy every moment of the day, completely stress free. We hired Christophe as our Photographer/Videographer and again, he went above & beyond for us just as Heather did. First of all, he is the funnest Photographer/Videographer ever! His positive, high energy is contagious and he made us all feel so comfortable the entire day. Being on camera is not our favorite thing, but Christophe did a fabulous job getting us over the awkwardness and from what we've seen so far, he was able to capture our truest selves on camera. The day after the wedding, we received the best surprise - 20+ sneak peek photos! It was completely unexpected, but was such an amazing gift as we soaked in all of the feels from a fabulous weekend. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and video! To top off the most perfect wedding day, Heather & Christophe shared another sweet surprise with us right after the ceremony - their son, Pierre! My husband had previously made a comment hoping they'd bring him to the wedding, and they delivered yet again! He is the sweetest boy and just such a doll, it was so nice to meet him and see his cute face in person! My husband and I, along with our friends & family are still talking about how amazing this day was and how kind, sweet, caring, fun, and helpful Heather & Christophe both were. I truly don't think there are enough words to thank you, but I hope you can feel the love and gratitude we have for you both. We started wedding planning in early 2019 for our original 10/10/20 wedding date, but ended up deciding to postpone during the Summer of 2020. As a bride, planning a wedding through a pandemic had its challenges; but it doesn't even compare to the challenges Heather & Christophe have faced working in the wedding industry as a professional Wedding Planner & Photographer/Videographer. I can only imagine what they've gone through over the last couple years, but their dedication to their clients and perseverance is admirable. When we decided to postpone, our only condition for choosing a new date was keeping this team with us, and we're so so happy we did. We have so much respect and appreciation for you and this day wouldn't have been as magical as it was without you two. If you're considering hiring Heather & Christophe for your special day, this is your sign!!!! You will NOT find a better team! My husband & I are already thinking about future vow renewals just so we can work with them again! ;) Thank you for everything, Willmus Weddings!!!
Fantastic experience: Willmus Weddings was such a blessing for our wedding! I had to switch photographers last minute and found Willmus Weddings on Yelp. I inquired if they were available (literally the week before the wedding) and they were able to take us last minute!!! Choosing them was one of the BEST decisions I made for the wedding. Chris helped us to plan the photography and videography scheduling for the day of - first look, ceremony, and reception. They were flexible and listened attentively to our requests and wishes, they even met at our exact locations for both the first look and ceremony/reception venue. Chris' expertise in weddings is prestine - his eye for videography in making our wedding video made us love our wedding even more! His photographer (I think her name was Maddie?) was phenomenal was well - even though we were on a tight schedule, they were so laid back an accommodating for all our needs. Now, we are thoroughly enjoying our wedding photos and videos! We appreciate they were able to capture our special day, with family and friends, for us!! The photos and video couldn't be more perfect! Thank you so much Willmus Weddings for all your hard work in making our day one to remember for many years!! Without you, the memories of our wedding couldn't be re-lived!!
Fantastic experience: Christophe and Heather are a DYNAMIC DUO!!! Wow. Heather really made sure I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding! She is extremely organized and detail oriented. She is also very patient and kind! She thought of things I would have never thought of and made sure I took care of as much as possible ahead of time making for a very relaxing day for me as the Bride! She was also so nice and accommodating about last minute changes that came up! Christophe was also AMAZING! The video he created for us will be something we cherish forever!! And wow, the pictures!! They came out so great!! The chemistry between Heather and Christophe really plays into the vibe on the day of and we are so grateful to have had them part of our big day!! Thank you both!!
Fantastic experience: So glad we had Heather! If you think you don't need a coordinator, think again! Because of her, we really were able to enjoy our big day so much more. She covered details we never would have thought of and advocated for us in many ways. She was very responsive, communicative, and helpful in answering our many questions. Furthermore, she prepared us so that we weren't scrambling last minute to get things done. So happy we had her on our team - she gracefully worked so hard behind the scenes to help us have a seamless, beautiful wedding experience!
Fantastic experience: We are beyond happy with our experience working with Willmus Weddings! We hired Heather as our wedding planner and Christophe for photography/videography. They are seriously a dream team. Heather was so organized, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and overall helpful in making sure our wedding day was perfect and that everything ran smoothly. Christophe is hilarious and fun, and helped to make sure everyone had a good time while taking photos and making memories. He also did our engagement photos, which turned out amazing! We worked with them all throughout the pandemic and they helped us navigate all the planning twists and turns that came up along the way. I would highly recommend working with them to anyone that is planning their wedding! 10/10 :)
Fantastic experience: Heather and Christophe are THE dream team of wedding planning and photography in San Diego. They stuck with us through the pandemic, holding our hands through the process of rescheduling and answering endless amounts of questions that we had. Heather is professional, detail-oriented, and compassionate. She thinks of every last little thing during the planning process, helps you make sure you have all of your ducks in a row, and then flawlessly executes your dream wedding while you enjoy your big day. She put me at ease and truly allowed for me to sit back and be a guest at my own wedding. Christophe is a fun, energetic, and warm photographer. We felt so comfortable throughout the day, we completely forgot he was even taking our photos half of the time. We can't wait to get our wedding photos back to print and cherish forever. Our guests absolutely raved about this dynamic duo and we truly couldn't have pulled off our celebration without them. Book Willmus Weddings for your special day - you won't regret it!
Fantastic experience: Words cannot express how happy we are for choosing Willmus Weddings to help make our dream wedding into a reality. Heather was so attentive, detailed, helpful, and knowledgeable for any and all questions that we had throughout the entire process. She also did a phenomenal job at helping to ease any pre-wedding nerves ;) Christophe is so much fun, and did a wonderful job at making sure the photos and videos taken for our wedding truly captured the amazing day that took place. His positive energy kept our guests laughing and eager to be a part of the photo magic! We would recommend Willmus Weddings to anyone looking to plan their wedding. It was also so convenient having the two of them work together on making sure timing for the wedding day was perfect, and being able to collaborate with one another to make sure that everything flowed well. 10/10 would recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Christophe and his team are amazing!!! This was the best investment we made in our wedding! We are SO beyond happy with the photos and videos from our wedding day! It was magical! They are so friendly and really make it fun! We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and not only did we get to do an engagement session with Christophe, but he was always very responsive and willing to work with us through it all! Highly Highly recommend!!!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with Heather for month-of wedding coordination. Heather was the main person handling everything leading up to the day of the wedding, and Linnie and Aouatife were the day-of coordinators. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with, in helping us realize the wedding of our dreams. Heather was super organized and responsive from day 1 and stuck by us when our wedding had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Though she couldn't be there the day of, she left us in great hands with Linnie and Aouatife, who were there to make sure everything went as planned. We loved that Willmus worked great with our other vendors, and that they communicated with each other to make sure we were on time and on track. Knowing that they had everything handled made us much more at ease and allowed us to enjoy the day without any unnecessary stress or distractions. We highly recommend Willmus for their professionalism, reliability and follow-through. Thanks Willmus!!!
Fantastic experience: If you are still wondering whether to book Willmus Weddings for a wedding coordinator or photographer/videographer, let my review help you decide. For coordinator services: With Heather and team (Clement!) behind the scenes, it made the evening have the formality of a wedding, yet the freedom of partying with loved ones. I couldn't have imagined it to go as smoothly as it did. All I wanted for our wedding was to truly enjoy all of the work that went into planning, and that's exactly what happened! That is what an amazing coordinator will do. Heather came in at the tail end of my wedding as the month of coordinator and basically took the reigns of what I had been planning and tied up all the loose ends. She made me feel at ease knowing everything behind the scenes was running smoothly. If you appreciate organization and attention to detail, you will love Heather. You may plan for the time to do something but you may not have the energy. Something I did not anticipate was how tiring (but fun!) the day can be. You need someone in the background making sure everything gets done. Trust me, if you want to enjoy your wedding, hire Heather. For Photography and Videography: Christophe and his team (Sebastian!) are awesome! We booked him for our engagement shoot, wedding photography and videography. He has a really fun energy that went well with our crowd. Everyone enjoyed his funny phrases: "look right, look left, ha-ha, he-he". They made us all feel at ease, which will definitely show in our photos. We really liked that Christophe took control of all the poses and placement of everyone. We went through my photo list together to make sure we got everyone. It was all so thorough, I really appreciated that. It's really easy to forget to take photos of key people so I'm glad Christophe was diligent about it. Willmus Weddings is an excellent duo. We would highly recommend their services to anyone. Thank you Heather and Christophe!
Fantastic experience: Hiring Willmus Weddings was one of the best wedding decisions we made. When it comes to wedding planning, Heather is the absolute best! Heather was so kind & easy to work with, and she helped make our big day truly a dream come true. Heather was amazing from start to finish and I SO appreciated her attention to detail. She had wonderful ideas and helped source incredible vendors to turn our vision into a reality. When the big day arrived, everything ran like clockwork, which I was deeply grateful for. Do yourself a huge favor and hire Heather. You will not regret it!
Fantastic experience: Hiring Heather was one of our best decisions for our wedding planning process. She was there for us every step of the way, even when things got hectic (such as having to postpone our big day), she remained steadfast with her communication and stayed positive and ready to make it happen! We couldn't have had our special day without all of her help and planning!
