  • Heritage Events serves the following types of events:

    • Traditional Weddings: Commonly known for their ceremony, cocktail/mocktail hour, and reception.

    • Multiethnic Weddings: Derived from an ethnic heritage with their unique phases and characteristics. *

    * Heritage Events is not an expert on all multiethnic weddings. However, we would love the opportunity to walk alongside you, learn, and create a special wedding.

  • If you’re planning a micro, small, or medium-sized wedding, you’re at the right place. While there are various sources with different numbers, Heritage Events classifies the size of weddings as followed:

    • Mini wedding: Less than 20 people

    • Small wedding: 20-50 people

    • Medium wedding: 50-150 people

    We welcome you to reach out if you anticipate more than 150 people.

  • We recommend at least three to six months in advance for social events and at least six to nine months for weddings. While Lisa would love to accept shorter notices, her business is on a part-time basis. To ensure your event gets the attention it deserves, we ask you to plan accordingly and start the process earlier than you expect. Regardless of your timeframe, we still encourage you to reach out to inquire.

  • Your involvement will be required to get the planning process rolling, which is why we recommend a free conversation to start. For some packages, we require regular meetings to keep an open line of communication and answer any questions that may arise. However, before we officially start the planning process, we provide a detailed plan to ensure you know of any tasks and responsibilities assigned to you, if any. We want to take a collaborative approach while alleviating most of the burden and work to get your event ready.

  • We aim to be flexible and understand that things may evolve. However, changes made close to the event date may incur additional fees due to increased coordination.

  • We require a 25% non-refundable deposit upon booking. Then, we’ll discuss the schedule payment of your remaining balance. We like to keep your remaining balance flexible for our clients to make payments as easy as possible.

  • No. The payment in the client contract will be the amount you will pay. However, if there are any last minute changes that require extra coordination, then we will have to add to your remaining balance.

  • Heritage Events serves events based in Minnesota. Any event outside of 20 miles from our office in Roseville, MN will accrue the standard IRS mileage rate, $0.67 per mile. This rate includes any mileage required for site visits, meetings, or other event errands.
