I am so incredibly happy that we booked Emily and Ryan as day of coordinators for our wedding. It took a little convincing for my husband to go along with the idea of a day of coor...
dinator, but after meeting and talking with Emily we were sold! Their rates were amazing compared to other vendors and their willingness to go above and beyond was incredible. The day before our wedding Emily let me know that she was ill and that she wouldn't be able to make it to set up our wedding but she was going to have her assistant to fill in. When we showed up to the venue the day of, not only was Emily there, so was Ryan AND their assistant! They, along with a couple of our friends, set up our venue in record time and let me know when they had any questions about where things needed to go. They brought my vision to life and were super flexible with things that happen, like thunderstorms right before the ceremony. I would 100% recommend Emily and Ryan to any couple who needs a few extra hands to help plan and set up!
Everything was great!!! Until we met 5 days before the wedding, to walk through everything. She then told me that the rented décor that she was supposed to pick up would probably n...
ot fit in the back of her car. She also said that she thinks the cakes won’t fit either. Both of these items were explicitly discussed in both prior meetings because we knew from the get-go that we would need that done on the day before/day of. She acted as if this was out of her control. 2 months before the wedding my mom had her pickup the table clothes from our house and asked that she ironed them. They were not ironed, and they were not even out of the package. She said they were too stiff to iron and “it’s fine, it’s going to be how it is going to be”. My mother-in-law also reported her declining to help her transport alcohol/mixers. The day before, my photographer called me and apologized because she received info from Emily, but things were not clear for her. Come to find out, my photographer didn’t even know we were taking all the pictures beforehand!! So now we are at the point that all the things we asked her to help with, she has now said she cannot do. We confirm that she is still able to pick up lunch for the girls and bring it to my parents’ house and responded “Gluten is an airborne allergy, but I guess I can hold my breath”. At this point, getting the lunch, and setting up the pipe and drape is the only big things I was even aware that they were doing. I did all the final calls the week of to confirm everything with every single vendor. At the reception, they came up to me and my husband right after we got out food and said, “the tornado sirens are going off, what do we do?”. The guests are not going to leave in the bad weather. Get them food, watch the weather, and we will take shelter if needed! And then she is dancing on the dance floor and took several spins in the photobooth. Which I don’t mind in general. But I had multiple guests ask me why my coordinator was acting as a guest. When I saw the limo out front, I brought Emily’s husband my bag and asked him to put it in the limo super quick. He carried it around for 20 mins and then Emily came over to inform me that he was going to put it in the limo. So now I am really annoyed because she acted as if it was her idea or if she was “on it”. So I said, thank you and asked for some cake to be boxed and put in there too because we had not had any. She asked me why because there was so much leftover cake. And I said because we will be hungry when we get to the hotel. She said “Okay, fine. I guess we can do that”. At the end of the night, there were 3 SUVs with still filling them and still some stuff left over. My dad asked Ryan to drive the SUV back to our house with him, drop the stuff off in the car and come back to get the rest. Ryan had said yes, but minutes later Emily approached my dad and said “there was too much liability involved with the amount of stuff in the back”. My dad lost it after the whole week with them. Ryan had driven my dad’s brand new SUV twice the day of, and now because there was $2000 extra dollars worth of stuff in the back, it makes it too much liability? My dad had been drinking and he needed someone else to drive. Again, helping with driving and dropping stuff off was discussed before. My dad had been drinking but his blow up was a lot of stuff that happened that week. Having a wedding coordinator was my single regret from my wedding.
Emily and Ryan could not have been a better choice for our big day. Not only are they professional and on top of it, they truly care and make every moment truly special and make yo...
ur day unforgettable. Emily goes above and beyond and our wedding would not have been as special without her. If I could do it all again, I would still choose E&R!
Working with Emily & Ryan was the best decision I made while wedding planning! They gave us the best ideas and advice as we planned and were always ready to help us with whatever w...
e needed. When it came to the day of I couldn't think of anything they hadn't already taken care of! We were both so relaxed on the day of that we stayed even later than planned! And the best part is how well E&R pulled the whole night off and ended it so perfectly for us! Now I recommend E&R to all my friends!
I have been apart of 2 weddings this year that E&R have planned and I cannot rave about them enough! I was so impressed with how well organized, prepared and efficient they ran the...
se weddings. One of the key attributes that stood out is how both Emily and Ryan were able to be in charge and not show a bit of stress, which really translates to how the bride and groom are able to feel! If i could go back and redo my wedding, my first phone call would be to E&R!
Emily and Ryan were able to give us an absolutely perfect wedding within a week and a half! I was like any bride... STRESSED! Emily reassured me time and time again and took all t...
he stress off of me. If it weren’t for them taking charge I don’t know how the wedding would have happened! We used the same room for the ceremony and reception which meant there needed to be a very quick flip of the room and they completely nailed it! They flipped the room faster than I ever thought possible and made it way less awkward and stressful as I thought it would be. They cared about every detail as if it were their own wedding and for that I am forever grateful. You will not regret having them there on your big day!
The best wedding planner in the KC area! Very organized, hard-working and passionate about her job. She made me feel like she had my back 110% of the way.
