My name is Laura Marolakos and I look forward to speaking with you about your upcoming wedding and our services. As your Sedona AZ Wedding Event Planner, I'm excited to work with you to create the wedding of your dreams! Whether your event is large or small, formal or informal, indoor or outdoor, my distinctive, innovative Sedona wedding planning style will create for you an exquisite, harmonious, unforgettable wedding, one that will be affectionately remembered through the years!

Our goal

Our goal as your Heart of Sedona wedding planner is to give shape to your dreams and eliminate any unnecessary stress by organizing the many details of your wedding. With an eye for detail, we will assist you in choosing the right wedding and reception venue along with hotel, resort or B&B accommodations, and find the right musician, photographer, videographer, floral designer, wedding cake… all as part of our unlimited planning, consulting and day-of coordination services. No other destination equals the scenic splendor of Sedona's red rock mountains, which is one of my special delights in being an Arizona wedding planner!

About my background

My professional career began many years ago. Upon graduation from Parsons School of Design in New York City, I worked as creative director for the Perry Ellis America collection. Eventually I went on to create my own business of Couture and Bridal Collections for major fashion stores around the country… including Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman to name a few.

After moving to Hollywood, California years later, I redirected my talents in beauty, styling and design towards a new career as Costume Designer, Wardrobe Supervisor and Costumer for major Hollywood films and TV. Little did I know then how my background in design and the film industry was preparing me for my future role as a wedding planner AZ. Besides creating the right look and wardrobe for a character or scene, my work in Hollywood involved organizing and coordinating crew members, craftsmen, support teams as well as facilitating wardrobe budgets and working directly with actors, directors and producers to create a common vision.

Creating weddings with "beauty, style & grace"... Sedona wedding planner AZ

Eight years ago I settled in Sedona full time. Free from a high-profile life style, my spirit was fed daily by Sedona's natural beauty. The serenity and peace afforded me by this simpler life style led to unique opportunities and opened this newest avenue to use my gifts and talents… crafting and organizing weddings in Sedona as a wedding planner AZ. Becoming a Sedona Arizona Wedding Events Planner was just perfect for me! Having been guided to leave the hustle and bustle of the 'glamorous worlds of film and fashion' I realized that I was ready to get back to my yoga practice, my spiritual center… this is where Andrew and I met. The rest, they say, is history.

My work with Andrew as a Sedona wedding planner AZ has helped our business to flourish and has given me the opportunity to create amazing, heartfelt, one-of-a-kind-events! We as Heart of Sedona wedding planners look forward to working with you on creating your most memorable moments with beauty, style and grace!
