Emily Weddings + Events Team

ated with an impeccable timeline and everyone involved able to relax and enjoy the day. Best decision ever to hire them!

the wedding was everything I could have ever wanted and I felt like I really didn't have to worry about a thing. I would highly suggest if you are going to hire an event planning team to go with this group of ladies. They are so professional, personable, HIGHLY organized, and will make sure your day is perfect. I have to give a very special thank you to Rachel, who was my lead coordinator. She really is an amazing professional and was the person who I could always turn to through my year or so of planning. She was always accessible, had the best advice, and I just can't thank her enough!

and beyond. This day would not have been possible without Rachel and her integral role from the start. I could literally articulate what I wanted from Rachel, and without even seeing an example, she could come up with the exact thing I was looking for. Rachel and the Emily Weddings team made the wedding planning process stress free and enjoyable. I have nothing but praise for this fantastic, professional, and extremely talented group of women! Choosing Emily Weddings and the full-service package was the best decision I have ever made!

wedding experience. She and her team were there to guide us through every step of the process, including vendor selection, planning/coordination, rehearsals, the day of the wedding, and so much more. And, not to mention much of this was done remotely! Her team is extremely organized, well prepared, and shared a wealth of wedding tips and tricks. We are extremely grateful for her and the Emily Weddings team. We can not thank them enough for making our entire wedding experience truly amazing.

worth it!! Saying their team is AMAZING is an understatement and words cannot do justice how invaluable their team was. I was the most OCD bride in the entire world and would send novel e-mails to my lead, Kate, at 2am in the morning. I would get a detailed response the next morning to my 62 (mostly irrelevant) questions I asked – she was patient with me and was a DREAM to work with. Kate brought me out of a state of overwhelming panic and confusion. She had personalized checklists, made phone calls for us, and told us not to worry about countless things, as she did them for us. She was also constantly in touch with me to remind me of things we needed to do and she always made herself available for a chat or a meeting. Kate saved me so much time and unnecessary stress that came with organizing our wedding, she is a goddess! She even came to my cake tasting and final dress fitting so she could learn how to bustle my dress. Mid-wedding planning we found out my wedding was going to be featured on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress – this was such an exciting experience!! But again, I could’ve NEVER done it without Kate and the Emily Weddings Team. I was married at my parent’s house in Kitty Hawk which had never ever been used as a wedding venue before, so there were so many moving parts that Emily Weddings knew how to handle flawlessly. Kate and Brittney came to Kitty Hawk (out of town) the day before my wedding to begin preparations for the following day and they both spent the night at a nearby hotel in case we needed them for anything! WOW! Britney was designated to stay by my side before the wedding while Kate was coordinating everyone and everything: TLC camera crew, photographer, hair and makeup, officiant, chef, bar, floor staff, DJ, florist, rental company, etc... not to mention arranging the site and coordinating 150 guests. Meanwhile I was trying to remain calm because the Cinderella pumpkin carriage that was supposed to drop me off at the aisle was nowhere to be found (turns out they got a flat tire on the way to our wedding – AH!). Brittney was a saint, she kept me calm and literally did anything for me that I needed that day. At one point I requested glittery lotion and she had a team member go and get it for me. Like are you kidding me?!!?! Brittney was seriously my saving grace that morning. While I was applying my glitter lotion (thanks Brit) – the horse and Cinderella pumpkin carriage arrived – moments before the ceremony – it was a wedding miracle! What else can I say except that if you don’t hire Emily Weddings you are making a huge mistake! May 4th was the best day of my entire life and it was in large part due to Emily Weddings. If you are looking for a vendor to assist with planning your wedding, I honestly could not recommend Emily Weddings enough. THEY ARE THE BEST!!! THANK YOU for the most magical wedding EVER!!! Love you girls!!!

ys there to help even when you didn’t think you needed it until they got it done. The knowledge and connection they all have is alone worth them.

each other and our friends and family. We cannot thank Emily Weddings enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect wedding.

at first about planning a wedding from out-of-town, but with the help of your team, it was perfect. Emily Weddings did most of the "heavy lifting" so we could focus on the important personal details. We just can't thank them enough!

t we wanted and her and her team executed our vision and was more than we could ever imagine! Kate was quick to respond, super organized and detail oriented, and fun to work with! I will truly miss working with her. Knowing that we had Kate and the Emily Weddings Team on our side made us feel at ease and stress free on our wedding day. You all are truly amazing at what you do!

es in our lives leading up to our wedding, working with Kate and knowing she was there in our corner took away all the stress. Any questions or concerns I had she was there, on my side, with an honest answer. On top of all of that, Kate literally worked our wedding two weeks after giving birth...mind-blown...if that’s not dedication I don’t know what is! Her professionalism, availability (even right after giving birth, I swear the woman is a rockstar) and experience made our wedding the most memorable day of our lives. And on wedding day, no words- with the entire Emily Weddings team there everything flowed effortlessly and beautifully. I still get asked by guests for their reference to give to friends getting married because they “have never seen a wedding so seamless”.

e. We felt so at ease knowing we had such an amazing support team. They are truly the best of the best in town! Our families were blown away by how seamless they made the entire wedding planning process from beginning to end! Thank you!! xx

g us accomplish EVERYTHING! We truly had the wedding of our dreams and more. Thank you for listening to our vision and helping us keep everyone focused on delivering exactly what we wanted. Thank you for so much for being available and responsive through such a long process! Thank you for being knowing when to be perfectly in sync, when to take the lead, and when to be an ear or a shoulder to lean on! Although everyone on the team was engaged the whole time and ready to step in, we have to call out our leading ladies, Kate Freeman was simply the best partner to have beside us. We could not have picked a better person to handle the most important day of our lives. Rachel, thank you for always being ready to take the reigns as our best back-up! And Brittney, you blew us away by being by our side all day. We still don't know how you magically guided us through all the places and stations and all the maze of a wedding day while keeping us laughing and happy and calm. We simply loved the moments you allowed us to have together and to laugh! We are truly grateful for your services. We can't get over how much we loved our wedding. Thank you. Forever in our hearts!

general knowledge of everything wedding related. An added bonus is that I made a new friend. We both expressed that we’d miss speaking to each other almost daily. There wasn’t an issue or question that I had that she wasn’t on top of and had solved promptly. Every detail of the the big day was planned out, with Kate’s help, for several months prior. She would offer advice when asked and kept us on track to make sure no stone was left unturned. With her detailed questions and just plain curiosity about our daughter, our family, and our son in law and his family, she was able to make the day flow flawlessly. The day of the wedding, her team of six showed up and kept everyone relaxed, but on track. With their help, the wedding went off without a hitch and was enjoyed by all.

y and not have to worry about all the little things. It was so stress free!!! They think of everything. Everyone from Emily's weddings was so professional and pleasant and they didn't miss a beat.

putting out fires left and right and I didn’t have the slightest clue because they were so quick and discrete. My bouquet needed taken apart and put back together, a groomsman ripped a hole in his pants before the ceremony and my groom got a sudden migraine during the reception. EWT just happened to have expert knowledge in floristry, sewing, and everything in their e-kit we could possibly need. My guests were singing their praises and my parents didn’t have to miss out on a single moment because EWT took care of the packing up at the end of the night. If you are considering a planner for your big day, Emily Wedding Team is the best of the best and provides several packages to meet your unique needs.

where I fell in love with them. To be on the other side as a bride took my love and respect for them to an even greater level. They made our wedding dreams come true. Before we started working closely Kate, we had a lot of questions and stress. After our first meeting with Kate, we felt a weight lifted. Kate, Emily, Brittany, Elaine and Karen were incredible to work with and the wedding went flawlessly because of them. They went above and beyond our expectations and we're so beyond grateful for their tireless work on our big day!

ime wanted me to meet with other planners. After meeting or talking with 4 other planners, it was clear to me that Emily Weddings was the best in the area. From beginning to end, my wedding coordinator/planner, Rachel, from Emily Weddings was professional, super knowledgeable, responsive, organized and absolutely wonderful to work with. All members of the team were great to work with. Although priced higher than other planners, Emily Weddings is well worth it. Their day-of coordination really goes beyond just the day of. They are available for questions, suggestions and concerns months in advance leading up to the day. During the week of the wedding, Rachel handled planning details and situations for me that came up so I didn’t have to worry about them– transportation changes, rental changes, touching base with vendors on details and timeline information. I was really impressed that she calmly and quickly handled timeline changes that was so suddenly thrown at us by our church wedding coordinator at the rehearsal. They were there to handle small and big details so I could just enjoy my wedding day, which I totally did! What was reassuring was hearing some of our vendors, who had previously worked with Emily Weddings, talk highly about them. Vendors are relieved when they know that they’ll be working with reliable, top notch coordinators. My florists at one point said that Emily Weddings was a dream come true. Emily Weddings helped transport flowers to and from the ceremony and reception. Everything went smoothly at our wedding; and everything seemed to have been executed on time and as we desired. A big factor I think was choosing Emily Weddings as our wedding coordinators. I whole-heartedly without a doubt recommend them. Thank you, Rachel and the Emily Weddings team, for making my wedding day the most memorial and most special day of my life. You are the best!

nd she has been very responsive to all our questions from the very first meeting until post- nuptials. There was a curve-ball thrown at us the night before our wedding after our rehearsal when our church coordinator told our wedding party needed to be at the church way earlier than what the timeline that Rachel had created. A moment of stress was quickly dissipated when Rachel and her team texted our entire wedding party of the new timeline and that all vendors affected (especially transportation) was on board with the new timeline. Needless to say, our wedding went smoothly. Rachel was readily available throughout the day while her team worked tirelessly in the background making sure everything is executed as planned.

who understood military life AND would make sure that the things the groom wanted happened too. Kate did it all--including managing all the little surprises we planted for our bride and groom. She is one of those lucky people with a naturally positive, authentic, demeanor. Even with the short time frame we had to work with, professional Kate streamlined our choices and we had terrific vendors lined up quickly so that we had everything we wanted. On the day of the wedding, the Emily Wedding team magically knew just where to be to make everything run smoothly. It really was a perfect day, thanks to Kate, this wonderful team, and the world's most beautiful summer evening. Thank you, Kate--you have found your perfect work!

t wedding day - thanks to Rachel and her team's attention to every single detail. I know they have coordinated many weddings, but their enthusiasm was as if this was their first one and it helped make the day very special for us. Rachel was an absolute delight in the planning process, with great ideas and always offering assistance. The team totally delivered!

she (along with her team) made sure my day went off without a hitch. As an out of town bride, I knew I needed someone whom I could trust wholeheartedly. Rachel was that person every step of the way- she was incredibly responsive, detail oriented and never baulked at my seemingly endless list of questions. I also was so impressed with her expertise in the wedding space- you can tell that she is well-respected and liked by all of her fellow vendors, and I always appreciated her input and guidance when making both big and small decisions. She also happens to be one of the sweetest people I've met- she genuinely cares for each of her brides and I so enjoyed working with her during the 12 months leading up to my wedding. She and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect on my big day. If I had to do it again, I would hire Emily Weddings 100x over. Thank you for helping to make my dream wedding a reality- I could never have done it without you all!!

ery part of the wedding ceremony and reception was organized and orchestrated by Rachael, so that everything moved along at an enjoyable pace. No worries at all for any of us - just have a great time! Right down to Rachael arranging to fixing a sport jacket problem experienced by the father of the bride! "I'll take care of that!" said Rachael - and she did! As with every other aspect of our wonderful day.

ond to help with some issues that the venue had that could have been a disaster however it was turned out nothing less then perfect! Not only did we have the best wedding planners but think we gained some lifetime long friends too:)

d into friends and family. They ensured everything was exactly how I wanted it and everyone was where they needed to be at the right time, to the point my entire wedding week was stress free leaving enough time to relax and soak it all in. They even made sure I was drinking enough water! I owe the success of our wedding almost entirely to their team. I highly recommend EWT!!

en it came time to getting ready, the big moment, photos, and toasts they kept everything on the timeline they had gone over with my mom before hand and we never felt rushed once. Their unbelievable organization kept stress at bay. They were so helpful at the end of the night with gathering my little sister’s things(which might I add were everywhere) and sending them off with my family. I know my mom was so thankful to have these ladies on her big day and I am too!
