Emily Weddings + Events Team

& beyond to ensure my husband's & I day was literally picture perfect. Rachel, our main planner, is the absolute best. She was so organized, proactive, & knowledgeable. Rachel listened to what we envisioned for the day & was able to match us with the perfect vendors that fit our personalities, aesthetic, etc. The amount of stress she alleviated for me throughout the wedding planning process (let alone day of) was tenfold. If any couples are on the fence whether or not it is worth it to hire a wedding planner (EWT specifically), do not hesitate. EWT was the best investment we made. THANK YOU EWT!

I’d highly recommend your team to anyone who asks. I appreciate your work and your help through this whole process. Very best wishes.

edding. Having Rachel as our ours made our wedding experience so much more enjoyable and stress-free. From the moment we met Rachel, she was always on her game, making sure that all the details of the wedding were taken care of. The vision that I had for our wedding could not have come together more perfectly without Rachel and the team’s help. On the day of our wedding, we had an entire team of at least 5 amazing women split their roles to make sure that everything on our timeline went smoothly. One of them was even there to carry follow me around during our cocktail hour and hold my train! Needless to say, I felt like royalty on our wedding day and Emily weddings and their team was a big part in why I was able to feel that way. Because everything that I had planned up to the day of was received and executed so perfectly that all I had left to do that day was enjoy getting married!

el Brown was our lead coordinator. Rachel was fantastic, and walked us step by step through the planning process, answering any possible questions, concerns, providing creative solutions etc. whenever necessary! No question or concern was too small or silly, and Rachel always had the answer. Rachel was also so pleasant to work with and was a calming, guiding presence throughout all our planning, as well as during our vendor meetings. As a bride and groom who do not live locally in the Virginia Beach area, we relied very heavily on Emily Weddings for all our vendor selections and we were never disappointed. The entire Emily Weddings team absolutely shined the day of our wedding. No detail went unturned, as Rachel provided every vendor with their own personalized minute by minute timeline for the day, so that they had a clear picture of their individual roles throughout the day. In addition to Rachel leading the show behind the scenes, we had 5 additional hands on deck from the Emily team to ensure everything ran smoothly. I was bracing myself for a few things to go wrong as this is what I typically heard about weddings and that I should expect a few hiccups and to just brush them off. I kid you not, nothing went wrong at our wedding and the day was absolutely perfect - even better than I could have imagined and beyond my dreams of what to expect. I credit Rachel and the Emily Weddings team for this - they were so buttoned up and professional, they ran everything without a hitch. We had multiple guests comment upon how incredible our planning team was, both during and after the wedding. I can't recommend them enough, they are simply the best in the area!!!

p of Rachel and her team! They went above and beyond our expectations! I highly recommend them to everyone looking for a planner - they made the wedding process stress free for everyone!

r. My husband and I got the pleasure of being paired with Kate throughout the wedding process and she was unbelievable to work with! I am a very type A bride and planning is something I am good at, so we chose to go with the Day of Package. Kate and her team went above and beyond, did way more than I expected of a Day of Package. They truly cater to the needs of each and every couple! As a bride who lived in a different state logistics and on-site meetings weren’t always easy to make, Kate stepped in and attended those meetings with me or for me when I wasn’t able to attend. When we had difficulties getting in contact with vendors, she stepped in and took care of it! There are many things that pop up throughout the wedding process and day of that you aren’t expecting, Kate knew exactly how to handle every instance, whether she had dealt with it before or it was her first time she was a pro every time. On the day of my wedding, her team and her were amazing! Their team came with 7 day of coordinators, they were on top of everything and anything that went wrong they made sure I was unaware of it and fixed it! I had to do a dress change and one of the wedding planners got me out of my dress into my new one, I needed another pair of spanks someone went and got those for me asap, my feet started hurting so they had me stand on a pillow during photos, and ran and got me comfortable shoes for the ceremony. Having our wedding be a “party” was very important to us, when dinner service took longer than expected Kate and her Team worked magic to extend my wedding so we could keep the dancing and partying going as long as possible. I truly cannot recommend them enough to engaged couples! They will make your whole wedding experience and wedding weekend AMAZING!!!

rdination, and professionalism was extraordinary . The journey to my daughter's wedding day was seamless. Kate attended all vendor meetings, reviewed contracts, and finalized all vendor coordination with our venue. She was exceptional. Fast forward to the big day. I cannot express the gratitude for a team like Emily Weddings. The timeline that was created was executed flawlessly. This team is by far the best in the industry and I cannot thank them enough for taking such good care of my sweet girl on her special day.

oned it but I’m so happy it didn’t hold me back. As soon as we signed the full-service contract, any doubt we had vanished. I can’t stress enough how the Emily Weddings team outdid themselves on so many levels, so many times. My expectations are rarely met and with Emily Weddings, they were blown away.  Kate, our lead wedding planner, was one of the most loving, talented, professional people. She has a great ability to make people's wishes come true, like the best fairy godmother. She took on extremely mundane tasks with grace. She worked well into the night and sacrificed her own sleep so that we could wake up and see a request that had been fulfilled, too many times to track. No idea or request of mine was too big or too small. She was always at our disposal with a helping hand, an idea, a thought, a suggestion, and she successfully helped pull off one of the best events I’ve been to (I have been to some major events, including over ten Superbowls!). I never imagined my wedding day would surpass the birth of my children as one of the best days of my life. I honestly thought I had already lived the best day of my life (x 2 kids) and this would be fun but nowhere near the same level of meaning. Nope! Thanks to Emily Weddings, our wedding was the best day of my life. After working with this team over the last nine months, they feel like family. Kate is my fairy godmother and Brittney, Rachel, and Karen are my sisters. They are honest, genuine, professional, creative, intelligent, organized and so fun. You need to hire Emily Weddings if you want the best assistance, a helping hand, suggestions, and organization while planning your big day. If you imagine a day where you can be perfectly present in every moment, and leave everything else to someone else, you need Emily Weddings.

d Rachel and team of highly professional women helped us through a destination wedding involving 165 guests. Rachel was with us from the moment we connected and began the planning, vendors, church, venue, transportation all the way to the bride and groom making their departure when all was over. We were able to enjoy ourselves through the whole event and their professionalism, guidance and generosity provided us with the best experience of our daughter’s wedding - without the stress! Thank you, thank you again and we continue to have our guests telling us it was the best wedding ever!

l the to-dos that go into a wedding date. I wanted to be involved in the wedding planning somewhat so my husband and I purchased the Day-Of Package. They were attentive to every intricate detail there was. They made sure every vendor, including the venue, was included in the details, to include meals for the vendors on the day of the event. Such a small, yet important, detail to remember. Lastly, I wanted to give the team more than 5 stars as Brittany did such a good job being my side-line motivational speaker when my nerves began to get the best of me when it was time for me to do my special dedication of a reception dance to husband. This was surely not in the contract, but her character was priceless. Again 5+ Stars

tions I had and give advice when needed. She came to my venue for our tasting and details meeting so that she would know everything I wanted. As the wedding was getting closer, she reached out frequently to make sure that I knew what tasks needed to be completed. On the day of the wedding, the entire Emily Weddings team was so wonderful. I didn’t have the slightest bit of stress because I knew they were taking care of everything and keeping us on our timeline. I would recommend Emily Weddings to any bride!

of complaints on how organized and how smoothly our wedding went all thanks to this wonderful team. Kate made the entire process seamless for me for over a year that we were able to work together and as the bride I was never once stressed! I'll honestly miss working with this team, will forever be thankful for them, and cannot recommend them enough to anyone planning an event!!!

will be with you every step of the way as you plan your magical day - and no detail will be overlooked. Emily Weddings made our wedding planning experience a dream from start to finish; and we are honored to call the impeccable Kate F and her team our planners and friends.

as a bit of a production with a lot of moving pieces and everything was just so flawless with the support, organization, and guidance of these amazing women. There is a special spot in heaven for Kate - I am so, so serious about that. Between me, my mom, and my now-husband, she answered approximately 50000 questions and emails; always promptly, always sweetly (I am very big on tone over email), and always with the utmost professionalism!! Aside from that, she is FUNNY. Not just "roll my eyes and kind of smile" funny, but "I am literally chuckling out loud" funny. During the most stressful time of my life, Kate was always there with a quick answer, the best solution, and soooo much good advice from her vast expertise. I cannot sing her praises enough, honestly. Our wedding party was also completely wowed by Kate & the entire team - and this is no small feat because our bridesmaids and groomsmen have been in LOTS of weddings. Kate also was a lifesaver when it came to suggesting vendors we hadn't even thought about to fill in all the remaining gaps on our big day, and everyone she recommended was perfect!! Everyone you know will tell you that tons of stuff will go wrong during your wedding and I'm sure that's usually true, but because of this team I actually did not have any catastrophes and even if some small things did go haywire, I wasn't aware and as a bride that's all I needed! Also - these ladies come packed with everything you can possibly imagine to handle any sort of last-minute crisis - think of how Mary Poppins had that magic bag that could produce the solution for anything. I even had guests comment on how stylish they looked at the wedding! They have a uniform of sorts and it's super chic and a guest of mine said "whoah, I wish my wedding planner had looked that nice." Special shout outs to Brittney for keeping me calm and feeling bubbly while we had a delay due to my crazy mom lol, and to Andelyn for being so awesome about keeping us on track during hair/makeup/dressing and sharing my love for my wedding shoes! I could go on and on, but perhaps the biggest testament to this team is the fact that one of my bridesmaids ended up contacting them to secure their services for her upcoming destination wedding - and she is a perfectionist with a super sharp eye and vision! In short, I am eternally grateful for everyone at Emily Weddings. Your wedding day is often the most important day of your life, and I am blessed beyond measure that my most important day was in such capable, thorough, and loving hands. Evan and I (and my mom!) love you all with all of our hearts. THANK YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️

found the right person because we just clicked and she was able to see our vision and knew how it was going to get done. One thing that impressed me was that even though Kate was more than capable in her own right, the entire team was included on all the e-mails so that they could be kept in the loop and provide feedback, as needed. Very, very smart way to run a wedding planning firm, in my opinion at least. The days leading up to the wedding were obviously hectic, but Kate was there to solve all the issues. The wedding itself was Disney themed, but the one thing in the world that my wife and I wanted more than anything was to be able to have our dogs at our wedding. Kate facilitated that by working with the event coordinator of the hotel. We just want to thank the whole team but especially Kate for making our dream wedding a reality and for just being one of the best people out there!!!

t was clear this team has tons of fantastic experience - they have seen it all and know what makes a wedding perfect. She helped us find amazing vendors and facilitated meetings, payment schedules, and communication throughout the planning. As a bonus, she is a joy to work with. Then an absolute miracle unfolded when we got to the big day. Kate and her team executed our vision flawlessly. Having a whole team available to take care of every detail or help with every issue truly differentiated the Emily Weddings service. Kate had been with us every step of the way so was able to guide her team and every single thing went off without a hitch. I could not recommend having Emily Weddings alongside you on your big day!

best here! To say that Emily Weddings goes above and beyond is a gross understatement. From the very first correspondence, they have been nothing but top notch, and from the first moment that we met our lead Wedding Planner, Kate Freeman, we knew that we were in the very best hands possible! We can not say enough good things about Kate- she is truly a rockstar wedding planner and I have never met a more organized person in my entire life! In addition to her incredible wedding planning skills, she truly has a heart of gold- Kate is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and compassionate humans I know, and over the course of planning our wedding, I am now lucky enough to call her a friend. Like many other couples during this time period, we unfortunately had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID- wedding planning is stressful in itself, but this certainly upped the ante, and I can honestly say that I speak for my husband and our entire family when I say that we don’t know what we would have done without Kate and the Emily Weddings team during this crazy time- Kate was not only a lifesaver and beyond helpful on the logistics and coordination side, but she was incredibly supportive and there for us during the multiple date changes and heartache/uncertainty that comes with that. Thanks to the magic of Kate and Emily Weddings, we were somehow lucky enough to secure all of our original vendors for our wedding day (our third date change). This is just one of many examples of how Kate was our “rock” and always saved the day or found a solution to any issue that arose. She is always on top of it and has the most positive attitude through it all! We will never be able to thank Kate & the entire Emily Weddings team enough for the countless amount of hours and hard work they put into making sure our big day finally happened seamlessly, and that it was just as perfect as we envisioned it being (and IT WAS BEYOND!)! Our expectations were exceeded, and we are just so thankful for Kate and all of these amazing women on the team who helped make the wedding of our dreams happen and go off without a hitch- I was lucky enough to have Andelyn and Brittany by my side on our big day as well, and they were just phenomenal! It was the most perfect day, and we know it wouldn’t have been possible without Emily Weddings. I could easily go on and on about the incredible caliber and level of service they provide, and we obviously cannot recommend them enough! All I can say is that if you’re looking for the best wedding planner and the most stress-free experience possible, please do yourself a favor and hire this incredible team- you will NOT regret it!

a work conflict with our original date and we had to push up 4 months. I was told every step of the way by Emily weddings team “Don’t worry about it, we got this. It’s going to be beautiful”. And it seemed as the date got closer more and more conflicts tried to test our wedding. If there is a master wedding planning book of possible things that could go wrong, my wedding needs to have its own book of EVERYTHING that can go wrong. All the up until the venue fire alarms were going off and Emily weddings staff just smiled through it, while also checking on the status, and continuing to get my garter on and keeping me calm. This wedding had so many pivots, date change, indoor/outdoor change, weather change, 3 DJ changed etc, etc, etc. The positivity, professionalism, and expertise kept my super anxious, Type A personality, calm, cool and collective. There is no way, zero way, I would have been filled with so much happiness without Emily Weddings by my side batting off every issue that arose. While our wedding was nothing like we initially planned, it was an absolute dream, perfect and exactly the day we envisioned. Emily Weddings will always be a part of our wedding story.

antly professional, this team was everything for us. A special shout out to Rachel, who was there EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so trustworthy of anyone. She was the real MVP of the Lawson/Stallard Wedding. From the bottom of our hearts, we couldn’t of imagined it all come together, be sooo perfect (because you didn’t let us know anything going wrong when it was lol) and have the best day of our lives, without your squad of ladies! We love all of you and thank you more than you know!

ssible. She helped me book almost ALL my vendors, worked to execute our vision flawlessly, and made the overall wedding planning experience so much more enjoyable. We had a large wedding party (24 total) and invited 180 people. It was a lot of planning and would have been absolutely impossible without Emily Weddings. Both my husband and I work 50-60 hours a week so we simply did not have the time to pour into the planning the way other couples do. Not to fear though, because Rachel and her team were always one step ahead of the game! By the time we actually got to our wedding day (after over a year of planning) everything was actually flawless. They had four team members with us the day of the wedding, and each lady knew exactly what to do at each and every moment. Even though we worked with Rachel, every person on their team knew our wedding, our dream, our vision, and us as a couple. I cannot rave enough about this team. Honestly, it never even felt like a "vendor" doing a job (not to say they weren't professional, they were), but more like a friend helping and guiding you to bring your wedding vision to life. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all these ladies and I recommend them 100%, without reservation. Book them for your wedding. You will NOT be disappointed. (P.S. I had 11 bridesmaids, yes, I'm crazy, and most of them are married or engaged - every single one commented on how professional, aware, competent, engaging, helpful and just overall fantastic the Emily Weddings Team was for our wedding! Okay, now that you're done reading my long review GO BOOK THEM!)

o the wedding she was with me every step of the way and even when we wanted to add things last minute to wedding; Rachel had so many connections we had no problems. The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about anything. My now husband said to me “You were right to hire them!” I highly recommend anyone needing a planner for their wedding or any major event hire Emily Weddings they will not disappoint!!!!

leading up to the wedding and on the day of. Easily the best decision made was going with them!

about Rachel and her entire team that would justify just how lucky I was to have her and what an AMAZING job they did. Not only did they make my wedding absolutely perfect, they were beside me every step of the way planning, helping keep my stress level down, and just helping with every little detail. Not to mention, they had to do DOUBLE the work with us having to switch venues 4 months before the wedding due to COVID travel restrictions. Rachel AND Kate made our entire week in Key West absolutely perfect!

my mom and I got to enjoy the process and not stress the entire time, which we totally would have without them. They put together the BEST vendor team for me. I took all of Kate's recommendations which did not disappoint. Plus our vendor meetings with Kate were always soo fun! The teams we worked with were creative and down to make whatever we dreamed up a possibility...even for someone like me that started with no clear vision. Kate is a dream!! She feels like part of the family now. She legit handled EVERYTHING, always offering to make a contact, give a recommendation, review a contract, anything! She matched my Type A with a color coded timeline for my day, and I could not have been happier. Not to mention, when you hire Emily Weddings, you get a whole team of ladies -- Andelyn, Rachel, Karen, and Kristyn! When I realized I forgot to eat lunch, found an extra protein bar amongst their team for me. Who pre-wedding, got a little makeup stain out of the front of my dress. And post-ceremony, did their best to get an entire cup of COFFEE out of my white dress during the reception haha! They made every one of my dreams come to life on our day (even starting with a total lack of vision that I started with). I cannot thank them enough for our perfect day! Thank you Kate!!!

the team saved us time, energy, and money. They thought of things we would never think of, were there whenever we had questions, and were just all-around amazing to work with. They are worth every. single. penny. If I could do it over, I would have hired Kate and Emily Weddings sooner.

am made our day so much more than what even imagined and the process was so smooth for us. Them maybe not so much as I am sure between my spouse and I, we were not the easiest to deal with. They took a few month timeframe, a very stressed couple, and the highest of expectations and turned it into the flawless masterpiece that far surpassed our expectations that we enjoyed as our wedding. Rachel is receiving my highest accolade for making the very short but mentally long and high stressed process so fluid and enjoyable. The best planner any couple could ask for! After her working alongside my bride and I am still confused and highly impressed as I thought we had pushed all of her buttons possible, but she never flinched. This woman is hands down amazing, and just when you thought it was to good to be true, the rest of the Emily Weddings Team comes in on our wedding day and absolutely dominates every aspect of a flawless day in the making. They were perfect coordinating clones with flawless execution. I did have the pleasure of speaking and/or meeting them and it was my pleasure as they were all so pleasant to speak with but with a fierce tenacity for their job. Loved all of their fun personalities! Any request my bride or I had on our day these ladies made it happen. I can not be more thankful for Rachel and the entire Emily Weddings Team and the pristine execution of our big day. Thank You So Much for Everything Your Team Offered! Also, they deserve all the stars, not just 5.

“ just days before the wedding, the event was perfectly orchestrated with an impeccable timeline and everyone involved able to relax and enjoy the day. Best decision ever to hire them!

helping me stay organized and giving me suggestions. The day of 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!

less, and all the women were fantastic, personable, and go above 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!

ver a year, and Kate was truly invaluable throughout our entire 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.

ed out for our wedding so we could have Emily Weddings – it was 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!!!

he stress away. On the day, the team was amazing. They were always 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.

hat the day flowed flawlessly. This allowed us time to focus on each other and our friends and family. We cannot thank Emily Weddings enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect wedding.

." The vendors you suggested all did a super job. I was worried 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!

nd the team help us in our planning. Kate understood exactly what 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!

arily with Kate- absolutely amazing. We had a lot of uncertainties 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”.

incredible attention to detail, support, creativity and expertise. 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

ble vendors on the planet. Thank you Emily Weddings for helping 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!

about her professionalism, positive personality, and all around 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.

detail and decision. Having them allowed us to just enjoy the day 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.

leading up to the wedding. And when the day did come, they were 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.

ve seen them work behind the scenes at many weddings and that's 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!

lthough I already had Emily Weddings in mind, my fiancé at the time 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!

imagined a day of coordinator would do. We worked with Rachel and 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.

ake them a beautiful, practical reality. We also needed someone 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!
