MEET HEIDI

Owner and Lead Wedding & Event Planner

Heidi is a fun-loving wedding and event planner with a love for curating unique and memorable events. While her personal style can be described as classic luxe with a splash of organic glam, her true passion comes from bringing each client’s vision to life.

Heidi has years of experience executing weddings and events throughout the Midwest and Arizona. Many of her friends agree that Heidi puts the chic in Chicago, where she was born and raised, before attending Butler University in Indianapolis. During her college years, Heidi lived on 44th street, where her dream of owning her own event company was born.

After graduation, Heidi entered the workforce as a marketing communications professional, gaining experience in successful event management. While the corporate world taught Heidi many valuable lessons, she continued to dream of owning her own event planning company. Finally, when Heidi and her husband moved to Cincinnati, she decided to take the next step in her career, and 44th & Luxe Events was born.

When Heidi isn’t planning weddings and events, you can find her indulging in all things travel, watching too much Bravo, and running around with her baby Conrad and two extremely luxe pugs, Chloe and Pearl.
