Our Story
Hi! We’re Kim & Des—the best friends behind Heartwood Events.
Â
Our story started 17 years ago with a friendship that quickly became family. Today, we’re both happily married, each have two amazing kids, and our daughters have been best friends since the day they were born.Â
Â
Over the last 10 years, we’ve worked hard to build a business we’re incredibly proud of. What started with a love for weddings has grown into a passion for creating unforgettable experiences. From coordinating weddings to planning corporate events, we love bringing every vision to life and making sure our clients can truly enjoy their special day.
Â
One of our favorite parts of this job? We get to travel to beautiful venues all over Florida, meet incredible couples and vendors, and be a part of some of life’s biggest moments.
Â
When we’re not working weddings, you’ll usually find us cheering from the sidelines at dance competitions and soccer games, spending time with our families, or escaping to the mountains—our favorite place to recharge.
Â
Our families have been our biggest supporters through every late night, early morning, and crazy wedding weekend, and we couldn’t be more grateful for them.
Â
Thank you to every couple, family, company, and vendor who has trusted us over the years. Your support means more than you’ll ever know, and we can’t wait to continue making memories with all of you.

Desiree was incredible! From the first day we met her, everything was so seamless. We had a vision and it was better than we could have hoped! Plans changed, it rained, I was late, and never once did she miss a beat or make it seem like it was anything less than intentional. I would sing it from a mountain top, Desiree is amazing, the venue is absolutely beautiful, and this team deserves all the praises in the world!
Thank you so much Desiree for all of your hard work in making our wedding perfect!

Our Heartwood Stories
Long story short: our venue was flooded after Hurricane Ian and we had less than 18 hours to find a venue. We stumbled upon an amazing venue and these two FANTASTIC ladies were there setting up for another wedding.
We spend an entire year without a wedding coordinator so we were hesitant, especially at the last second to hire someone.
Well, I have to say HIRE THE WEDDING COORDINATOR. Especially these ladies!!
They were calm, patient, incredible, organized, and other than my bride… my two favorite people at the wedding. They were there every step of the way. They have a sixth sense and were right next to me before I even knew I had a question. They even made us dinner plates because we were running around like crazy.
I can guarantee your wedding won’t be as amazing as you think if you don’t have these two working with you!!
They are now our family, and stuck with us for life. Thank you isn’t even enough!!!

I didn’t realize the importance of a day of coordinator until I met Kim!! Our day was beautiful and it went so smoothly because of Kim and the Heartwood Events Team!! She was great at being responsive, answering our questions, and helping our vision come to life! Finding Bridal Oaks was such a blessing and I am soooo glad that one of the best days of my life took place here!! I would recommend this venue and team to anyone looking to get married
