What I can say with complete confidence is that Hiedi is exceptionally talented at creating meaningful and transformational experiences. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to participate in many events and pilgrimages she’s designed, and I’ve always been impressed by the care, intention, and attention to detail she brings to every aspect of the experience.
Hiedi has a gift for creating environments that foster connection, reflection, and personal growth, and that is something I’ve experienced firsthand. Her ability to blend excellent event design with a genuine desire to serve and support others is one of the things that makes her work so special.

I've known Hiedi Simon for over 13 years and I've traveled both domestically and internationally with her while she led retreats and events at the highest level. Hiedi isn't just an event planner, and she's the gold standard. Every detail, every decision, every moment of an experience she designs is thoughtful, polished, and exactly right. Whenever I'm planning my own salons, I catch myself thinking, 'I wish I had a Hiedi.' That's the truest compliment I can give: everything she touches, she does well. If you want an event that feels effortless because someone brilliant handled the hard work behind the scenes, Hiedi is that person.

Hiedi has the capability and capacity to create an organization that performs consistently at a high level. Her attention to detail and focus on creating amazing events directly impacted revenue (to the tune of high 8-figures). Additionally, as my partner in events strategy, Hiedi always provided insights that were not in my field of view. I would recommend Hiedi without hesitation to any organization that’s seeking to create events that drive strategy, create exceptional experiences, and build lasting relationships with clients.
I have had the opportunity to attend and participate in many events that Hiedi Simon was responsible for, and I can say without hesitation that she is an exceptional professional.
Every event was thoughtfully planned, highly organized, and executed with excellence. Hiedi has a remarkable ability to create experiences that feel both high-end and deeply client-focused. From the smallest details to the overall attendee experience, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and precision.
Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will be in incredibly capable hands.

I had the pleasure of working alongside 'Hiedi as an Event Director, and I can say without hesitation that she's one of the most capable and well-prepared event leaders I've collaborated with. Hiedi managed teams of over 50 people with a level of organization and foresight that made every event run smoothly, even under significant complexity. She consistently planned far in advance, anticipating challenges before they became problems and ensuring every detail was accounted for well ahead of time. As the Director of AV, I worked closely with 'Hiedi, and she was instrumental in helping me create the space I needed to do my job well. She communicated the wants and needs of the clients she represented clearly and consistently, which made it easy to align our production with their vision and made our collaboration seamless. What stood out most was her ability to deliver consistently transformational events at the highest level, while remaining calm, approachable, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. She led with confidence but never lost sight of the people on her team, and that balance is rare. Hiedi would be an incredible asset to any organization looking for someone who can lead large teams, manage complex technical productions, and deliver top-tier results with grace under pressure. I recommend her without reservation.

The first event I attended that was designed by Hiedi Simon changed the entire trajectory of my life. Looking back, what stands out most is that the planning itself wasn't noticeable; it simply felt effortless. As someone who later worked alongside her in a leadership capacity, I came to understand that this level of ease only happens when an event has been masterfully planned. Hiedi has an extraordinary gift for creating experiences that are beautiful, meaningful, fun, and transformational all at the same time. Every detail is carefully curated, every theme is thoughtfully integrated, and every gift feels like a meaningful extension of the event itself. Many of my greatest breakthroughs, personal successes, and lifelong memories came from events Hiedi designed. After experiencing her work, other events often felt
disappointing by comparison. She has set the standard for what an exceptional event experience can be.

I have had the privilege of working with Hiedi Simon for over 13 years on events ranging from a few hundred attendees to several thousand. Throughout that time, she consistently demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for the people she works with. As a vendor partner, I always appreciated 'Hiedi's ability to navigate challenges with compassion and understanding while still maintaining exceptionally high standards. She knows how to bring out the best in everyone involved and is committed to delivering an outstanding experience for clients and guests alike. What began as a professional relationship ultimately grew into a lasting friendship, and I continue to look forward to every opportunity we have to work together. If 'Hiedi treats her clients with even half the care, respect, and dedication she has always shown her vendors and partners, you will be in excellent hands.
