I recently officiated a wedding for a dear friend and Emily was their planner. As a fellow vendor, working with Emily was amazing! She communicated consistently on all aspects that involved myself and the couple and her attention to detail ensured that the ceremony went off without a hitch. Highly recommend Emily!
Emily is one of the most kind and thoughtful people I have had the pleasure of meeting! Before you even begin talking about wedding planning details, she gets to know you as a person. This "people first" mentality is so rare in the wedding industry. Emily's passion and dedication to her clients shows at every turn of the process. If you want a wedding planner who not only plans your dream day to perfection but listens and supports you before everything, Emily is your girl!
Emily cares so much about the couples she works with, and as a fellow vendor, I'm so impressed by her ongoing connection with couples long after their day! She truly puts her heart into each day she helps plan or coordinate!
We loved working with Emily and her team for our wedding in June! She was extremely responsive and attentive to details as we planned our Indiana wedding while living in Arizona. She kept everything on track leading up to our day and was a huge help in communication with our vendors. On our wedding day, everything ran smoothly and there was always a set of hands ready to help wherever needed. Our entire wedding party was so impressed with how calm and stress-free our wedding morning was. We couldn’t have done it without Emily!
Emily Sara Events was great to work with. She was so helpful in answering all our daughters questions. The day of went so smoothly. I highly recommend.
Emily is the sweetest!! She is one of the kindest vendors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is very knowleagble about the events industry and is full of attention to detail. I would highly recommend working with her!
We got married in downtown Indianapolis on 10/07/2023 and had the most perfect day--Emily and her team were pivotal in bringing our day to life! She helped us stay organized and provided complete relief the day of. I ended up getting ready with my bridesmaids at a different location other than our venue and had peace of mind knowing Emily & her team were on-site coordinating vendors, decor items, and the overall timeline. We had a large wedding guest list, large wedding party, and a lot of formal family photos we wanted to have done on the day of--Emily seamlessly communicated with the Venue coordinator and my Matron of Honor to bring it all to fruition. I would highly recommend Emily & her team for your day!
Emily and her team were so great to work with! Emily was so patient and answered any and all questions we had. The day of we didn't have to worry about a thing since they had everything under control. You can tell Emily genuinely cares about her couples. Would definitely recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a seamless wedding day!
Emily and her team were so organized and efficient setting up our decor, making sure the day ran smoothly, making adjustments, and checking in on us during our wedding day. We were able to truly step back and enjoy our day without one thought about logistics or any issues. Leading up to the wedding she was helpful, very organized, worked well with my other vendors in coordinating things, and attended the final walkthrough. She really thought of everything and helped ensure we had every answer and possible question figured out ahead of time. Highly recommend and could not have had the wedding day we did without her!
Emily was extremely helpful in organizing our timeline, contacting our vendors and ensuring everyone was where they needed to be. With everything that goes into wedding planning the last thing you need to worry about is contacting your vendors and making sure they show up day of! Emily and her team were amazing when it came making sure our special day went smoothly and we had everything we needed. They helped with transfer our large welcome signs, assisting our florist with gift tables and handled tear down at the end of the reception very efficiently! By the time I was finishing conversations with guests everything was already put in the correct cars and we were off! It was great to work with you Emily! Thank you for being a part of our special day!
Emily and her team were absolutely wonderful on our wedding day and the months leading up to it. They went above and beyond and way out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly and so that my family and friends did not have to worry about anything except for enjoying our wedding. Emily and her assistant Carla made sure everything was in place and set up and even sewed together my garter that broke the night of!! I can not recommend Emily Sara Events enough!! Thank you so much Emily!
What a great experience with Emily and Carla! They handled so many details that it allowed us and our bridal party to truly enjoy the wedding. I highly recommend them. They are a true professional who handled all the vendors to create timeline and provided ideas and recommendations. Very thankful to have them in my wedding!
My husband and I hired Emily Sara Events to help with set up and making sure the day of ran smoothly. They are fantastically priced, detailed, kind, and just absolutely amazing. They bent over backwards to make sure our day was executed the exact way we had envisioned it. Nothing ran behind and I didn't have any stress in regards to our wedding. My advice to couples looking at Emily Sara Events is, HIRE THEM. You won't have any regrets.
Carla and Jessica were amazing coordinators! I had some mishaps but they handled it exceptionally well as I did not want to be stressed on our wedding day. Carla and Jessica made sure to keep us hydrated in between breaks. They both made our wedding the best day of our lives May 15, 2022. I recommend 100% to hire a day of coordinator!!
Emily Sara Events was the perfect coordinator to work with on our wedding day. Emily is organized and highly detail oriented. She was fun to work with and her entire team did a great job managing all the things we needed help with on the day of the wedding. Emily made our day stress free and we were able to enjoy every moment of it!
Emily Sara Events did an amazing job as our day-of coordinator! Cannot recommend their services enough. Totally worth it.
We had an amazing experience using Emily Sara Events as our day of coordinator for our wedding in October of 2021. I was pretty skeptical that we even needed a coordinator but my wife assured me it would be worth it. I could not have been more wrong with regards to how much better everything went and how incredible the value of having Carla and Andi coordinate our wedding would be. Carla was in contact with us throughout the process, both in person and over the phone or via email. She collected every bit of information she could possibly need to make sure our wedding went the way we wanted and without causing us any undue stress or wasted time. On the day of the event Carla and Andi were nothing short of amazing. They took over communication with all the vendors, family, friends, and anybody else that might have needed anything or any direction so we wouldn't have to be bothered on our big day. I had no idea just how much they would actually be responsible for and don't think we could have pulled things off without them. All the little things make a difference, such as having them pin on the boutonnieres, double check the decorations, provide advice, herd the guests, monitor the timeline, handout the tips to vendors, and even little things like grabbing a bottle of water for the bride or groom. We had the perfect wedding and having great coordinators was a very big reason things went so well. Many of our family members, bridal party, and friends made comments stating the same.
Booking Emily’s team was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made. Carla and Andi were amazing and more helpful than I could have ever imagined. They keep your day running smoothly. I truly felt stress free and well fed (my stomach was rumbling during photos and Carla magically appeared with a snack!) I had numerous positive comments about the Emily Sara team from wedding guests. They are helpful, polished, organized, and friendly. Would 100% recommend.
One of the best decisions we made in the planning process was hiring Emily and her team! She was extremely helpful and made our wedding day run so smoothly. She was there for me throughout the entire planning process and I can’t be more thankful for that!!
Highly recommend! My wedding day would not have been nearly as put together if I did not have Emily every step of the way. She made sure all the smallest details were taken care of and communicated with the vendors to make sure everything was taken care of. She was so wonderful to work with and helped make my big day run smoothly and perfectly. The best of the best :)
Going into our day, we weren't quite sure we wanted to have a wedding planner....but I'm sure glad we decided to go with Emily and her team! Our entire day people kept asking why we seemed stress free, especially with 230 people at our wedding. We have Emily Sara Events to thank for that. They made our whole day feel seamless with constant updates, effective communication and great problem solving. Would 100% recommend to any friend or family!!
To say our day would not have been possible without Emily Sara Events would be an understatement. I wasn’t sure at first if we really needed a day of coordinator, but trust me, you do. It takes all the stress off you, your spouse, or a family member to run the day and make sure everything comes together! She handled everything for us and allowed us to get the most out of our day and fully enjoy it. She helped us with our timeline, got everything set up, and just overall made our day stress free. She did so much more that we didn’t even need to worry about because she and her assistant simply handled it! Amazing, we highly recommend. She is also really sweet and will make sure your day is exactly as you imagined it.
Emily was incredible. Through every step of the wedding planning process she helped make sure we were happy with everything that she did. On our day of, she absolutely made sure that everything was taken of so we could enjoy the day stress free. I am so grateful for everything they did for us, and would recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable wedding planner.
Emily and her team were wonderful to work with for our wedding day of coordination! They truly helped make our day stress-free to allow us to enjoy every minute. We were able to meet virtually to discuss our wedding day vision, goals, vendors, and timeline necessities. She created a finalized timeline with us and communicated this to all of our vendors to ensure our day went smoothly, and it certainly did! Her team also helped set up and decorate for our outdoor ceremony and reception, which allowed us to enjoy our rehearsal dinner with family and friends. We are so thankful we chose Emily Sara Events to make our day feel effortless and serene.
I would 100% recommend Emily Sara Events to any bride! I've worked with Emily Sara Events both as a vendor (photographer) as well as a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding. Emily and her team were so easy to work with, on top of everything, and one step ahead of the game the whole day. Very professional and personable!
Emily should be your first call!
Emily and her team did a fantastic job for us last month. Despite a lot of things turning to chaos due to Covid-19 restrictions and having to maneuver around multiple events at the church, Emily’s team had every single detail accounted for in their plan. When we arrived to the reception, we were in awe of how everything turned out. Emily is incredibly friendly, considerate of what you are wanting in your wedding, and coordinates with all vendors to ensure everyone is on the same page. Their team went above and beyond to make sure everything was how we envisioned, despite many obstacles.
Emily, we can’t thank you and your team enough for this your help before, during, and following the wedding. It was perfect!
Hands down the best wedding coordinators in Indiana. Being incredibly type A, it was hard for me to select a planner and entrust them with one of the biggest days of my life. Emily absolutely knocked it out of the park and delivered an incredibly organized, beautiful, and stress-free day. She took every single crazy idea of mine and made it happen without ever making me feel as though I had to compromise or give up on what I really wanted. COVID has made wedding planning very difficult — Nonetheless, Emily Sara Events went above and beyond to give my fiancé and I the day we’ve always wished for.
Bottom line: If you pick anyone other than Emily to put together your big day, you’re wrong. She’s simply the best that the Indianapolis wedding industry has to offer.
Emily and her team went above and beyond to make sure that my wedding day was perfect despite having to postpone and change plans several times due to COVID-19. I get overwhelmed with planning but Emily made it so easy for me by coordinating with my vendors and following up throughout the wedding planning process. Her and her team (Alicyn and Carla) are simply the best and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Emily and her team are amazing! She was so helpful through the entire planning process and answered all questions quickly. She made sure all of the small details of the wedding were taken care of. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day because they did everything!! So helpful, professional, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect.
Emily Sara Events was exceptional to work with at my daughter’s wedding last fall. I was able to relax and enjoy the celebration and our 200+ guests know that Emily and Sara were there to look after every detail. Spend your time enjoying the day! Hire Emily Sara Events to take care of the details!
Emily was instrumental in helping my wedding day go smoothly! She coordinated with all the vendors the day of and we had several meetings leading up to the wedding to make sure that she knew what my vision for the day was. Even my parents who at first didn't know why I needed a coordinator were super impressed and so glad that she had been there!
When planning my wedding budget, a day-of coordinator was something I didn't know if I needed. After working with Emily and her Assistant, I cannot imagine not having them. They helped me set up decor, reminded me to relax, and were the go-to person for all my vendors to go to so I could relax and enjoy my reception. She was very easy to work with, and was willing to help with anything I needed! If you are on the fence about needing a coordinator, DO IT! Let them help you, so you can relax and enjoy your day.
Emily is wonderful at what she does. She is timely, speedy, and has a wonderful attention to detail. Emily puts her all in making sure that her brides have a smooth, enjoyable wedding that they’ll always be able to remember. It’s so easy to get lost in the haze of planning and coordinating a wedding, let Emily and her team take that stress for you. Whether it’s full planning for your business event or wedding, to coordinating and cleanup, she’s your woman!
Not only is Emily a sweet friend, but she also was a very generous person when it came to helping out during our wedding! She spoke to my mother and I and jotted down all of the details when she did her consult. She was our day of wedding coordinator and helped with cleanup too! I would recommend Emily for your upcoming wedding!
Emily is so great! She is organized and well connected to other wedding vendors. She is kind and really makes a wedding day go smoothly. Give yourself an early wedding gift and book Emily to help make your wedding day perfect.
Emily was great as our day of coordinator! She was also there willing to help with whatever needed to be done! She worked with all the vendors and family members in charge and made sure all the little jobs were done in plenty of time before the ceremony! She did a wonderful job and I would recommend her to anyone getting married!
Emily did a great job of making sure everything was coordinated and timed out for my wedding day. She was there to help with decorating, getting the DJ and musicians set up at the venue, and greeting the pastor while my husband and I were getting ready. She also helped think of those last minute things, like a table to set programs on, and worked with the coordinator at the venue to get me anything else that we needed. She took a huge weight off of my shoulders the day of, since I knew there would be someone else to take care of any issues that might pop up. She is on her way to creating an amazing business! She is a great person to help you with your special day!
Emily was our day-of wedding coordinator. Not only did she provide great help leading up to the wedding helping us ensure every detail was cared for and all our vendors were in sync with our plans, she knocked it out of the park on our wedding day. She made it so my mom, now-husband, mother-in-law, and I could totally enjoy the day! She interfaced with our vendors, made sure things happened on time, and got everyone down the aisle in perfect cadence. The whole thing went off without a hitch, we are so so glad we had Emily's help and support!
Emily really took care of me and my family! She proactively thought through solutions and ideas to make our wedding day perfect. I'm incredibly grateful for her support and highly recommend her!
So organized, responsive and a pleasure to work with! Emily made our wedding day run perfectly and allowed us to have a stress free enjoyable ceremony and reception. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Emily is a sweetheart. She is such a kind and loving soul and a really positive person to have around. She cares about her clients so much and goes the extra mile to ensure they have an amazing and carefree wedding day. She has great organization skills, is professional and reliable. If you want to enjoy your wedding day without being stressed out, I highly recommend hiring Emily. I’ve worked with her on multiple weddings and know how capable she is of walking her clients through this process and taking away their wedding stresses. Not only that but her kind and calming presence is a must have on your wedding day!
