Emily was extremely professional & a pleasure to work with! She’s so kind & her attention to detail made me feel comfortable that my husband & I were in great hands. She made sure ...
all aspects of our wedding ran smoothly from the planning to the day of the wedding. She was great at problem solving. She gave great vendor recommendations as well. I am so happy we hired Emily for our special day. Her & her assistant did a fantastic job in keeping my husband & I on track on our wedding day so we could effortlessly enjoy our day. Thank you so much Emily!!!! We will be recommending Emily to all our family & friends.
Emily is truly one of the best wedding planners to work with! We first met with Emily in October 2023 and from the start, she was a dream to work with. We had very little knowledge...
about the wedding planning process but Emily was so patient with us and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. She was easily reachable by text throughout the entire planning process. She had great working relationships with all of our vendors, which made our wedding day feel so seamless and quite literally PERFECT! We are so lucky that we came across Emily's vendor page on The Knot website and have absolutely no regrets about working with her. We highly recommend working with Emily!!
My husband and I hired Emily about six months out from our wedding date to help finalize vendors, tie up loose ends, and provide day-of coordination. We could not be more thrilled ...
with the support Emily provided from day one. She offers thoughtful advice while encouraging you to make the decisions that are important for you to make. My husband and I feel so grateful for Emily and her team. They are professional, organized, determined, patient, and empathetic. Our wedding day would not have run as seamlessly as it did without Emily's support. We will thank you forever, Emily!!
Outstanding service. Grateful to have her by our side, every step of the way. Exceptional organizational skills, calming nature, dedication and passion were truly appreciated.
I'd like to sincerely thank Emily for her help with our wedding this past weekend. She started working with us a few months ago and managed the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. ...
We picked a venue where basically everything had to be brought in, so there were a lot of moving pieces. She helped us pin down the transition from ceremony to reception, the schedule of dinner/speeches/dessert, logistics surrounding coolers and food, and much more. She did a lot of stuff without me even mentioning it, like steaming out my dress, and stayed late to help us clean up. Thank you very much!
Emily's help with vendors and all details of our daughter's wedding day was invaluable! We were at an outdoor venue on a hot, humid day and there were a lot of moving parts. Emily ...
coordinated every aspect of the day perfectly!
I would give Emily a 10-star review if I could. She is simply AMAZING! From our introductory phone call to the day of the wedding, she handled every obstacle that she encountered...
with grace. She is a true professional and a pleasure to deal with. She was able to keep me calm, put me at ease and remind me that ultimately this was "our day" and we should be able to enjoy it. With Emily by our side, we were certainly able to do that. I can't thank her enough for all that she was able to do for us. I only wish that I had more events to plan, so that I could spend more time with her.
Emily was AMAZING!! She made sure our day went smoothly, kept everything on track. We had the best, stress free day because of Emily and her team. There are not enough words a to d...
escribe how awesome they are!
I couldn’t recommend Emily enough for your wedding! We hired Emily for her day of coordinator services to run point for our 200+ guest wedding. When I thought about what needed to ...
be done the day of, I was overwhelmed. During our first conversation, I felt so comfortable with Emily and knew that she could manage anything that came her way on the wedding day. She exceeded ALL expectations. Two months, or so, out from the wedding, she helped me get in contact with vendors I was having a hard time reaching, she verified all of our contracts, she planned our timeline for the day and added notes into the schedule where applicable. On the actual day of the wedding, she supported my husband and I in so many parts of the day. She made sure we were on schedule, she helped coordinate our transportation for guests, she made sure that all of the decor items were out and in the right place, she helped us coordinate our first look (and made sure we didn’t see each other before!), and more! I even remember during the wedding reception I had enough of my heels so I took them off and before I could even take my next step, she was at my side asking if I wanted to change into my other pair. I felt zero stress on my wedding day because I knew she and her assistant Courtney were there and able to help me with anything that came our way. I truly couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Emily is absolutely the best! I was hesitant for my daughter to hire a wedding planner, but from the first time I met Emily, I knew it was the right decision. Emily ensured the da...
y was everything my daughter and now son wanted it to be. On their wedding day, she made sure everything was perfect! And she was fun! Emily & Jackie were always one step ahead of me, before I could even say how about, they had it already handled!

. Before our wedding Emily made our wedding vision come to life and made the process easier on everyone involved, and on the wedding day her thoughtful quick thinking prevented unexpected weather from ruining our outdoor ceremony. We highly highly recommend Emily!

Emily was fantastic! She was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process (she was our “day of” coordinator so we started calls with her 2 months out). She was always so...
kind and helpful made sure all the I’s were dotted and t’s were crossed. The wedding went so smoothly thanks to her! She had her emergency kit with her everywhere (it was STOCKED) so we never had to worry about anything. I cannot say enough good things about her - if you’re debating who to work with: pick Emily!!! You will not regret it :)
Emily was the best wedding decision I made! From our first initial meeting to even after our wedding she made sure every detail was taken care of and everything we wanted. The day ...
of our wedding would not have been possible without her. She truly caters to the couple and makes sure the day runs smooth. With Emily there, I felt like I did not have to worry about one single thing except enjoying every minute of the day! Her husband Pete was also the most amazing and helpful assistant! He made sure not only the bride was good but took great care of the groom.
I can’t thank Emily enough and would highly recommend her for any event big or small. She will be a part of our lives forever!
Hire this coordinator immediately!! Emily and her husband Peter (assistant) are amazing!! She thought of every detail and made it happen! She caters to the bride and groom and serv...
es as their advocate on the big day! She calmed everyone down and felt like a trusted friend instead of a hired vendor. Peter even steamed all the bridesmaids dresses as the girls were getting ready!! Their bag of tricks even had black duct tape, which saved the day when the shoes of the father of the bride came apart right before the wedding! I highly recommend Emily and feel like she’s part of our family now!
I truly cannot recommend Emily (& her team, Paulina!) strongly enough. They were a godsend - they made our day go so smoothly & were prepared for anything!! In advance, Emily creat...
ed our timeline with the venue & band, shared it with all of our vendors, prompted us with questions about the flow of the day we hadn't considered, and provided software to create different seating charts. About a week prior, I thought we might be without a piano player for the ceremony - Emily provided a pianist's contact information within under an hour of me reaching out to her! We did a pre-wedding walkthrough of the ceremony venue where Emily seamlessly navigated multiple directives coming from myself, my mom & my aunt (not an easy task!). Paulina oversaw the rehearsal & ensured everything we had discussed, and a few things that had changed, were communicated to wedding participants. And that's just the lead up to the actual day of coordination work!!
I definitely underestimated the amount of "could go wrongs" for getting ready morning. When Emily at first mentioned that she would be there while we were getting ready, I didn't think that was necessary. But, I'm SO GLAD they were. Every little thing that came up that would have caused an immense amount of stress if left to me, my mom, sister & bridesmaids was handled quickly, calmly and seamlessly by Emily and/or Paulina. For instance - we had a few charms to be pinned inside my dress / onto my bouquet. I misplaced my perfume. Two floral arrangements needed to be brought to the church. The readings for our ceremony needed to be distributed to readers and brought to the church. The bottom of my dress needed to be steamed. My mom did not like her hair and Emily fixed it (remember this - it's not the only time it happened!!). There was an issue with seating that came up beforehand at the venue and we needed to swap someone's table. They even had fashion tape to secure my mom's dress!
Throughout our photos, Emily arranged & fixed my dress & bouquet. She held my phone, perfume & lip gloss in her bag. She was critical in helping get video of our toasts, she coordinated a surprise flash mob with the band, venue & my sister seamlessly by sneakily getting it worked into the timeline and even fixed my cousin's girlfriend's dress (I found that out later). When my updo fell out, Emily redid my bun beautifully in time for our first dance (in under 10 minutes)!! She then transformed it into the perfect party pony (while I was eating dinner!!!) And hairdresser was definitely not part of the job description :)
Our primary reason for hiring a day of coordinator was to coordinate transportation, and they did a great job with that, but that doesn't even begin to touch on how they impacted our day overall.
I could list what Emily & Paulina helped us with probably for forever - but the point is - on your wedding day it's not a question of IF anything will go wrong - some things WILL go wrong. And most of those things won't matter in the long run, but having Emily & Paulina there to handle it made all of those moments (on a WIDE variety of topics) much less stressful. They were wonderful to work with, calm, cool and collected, professional, experienced, prepared, understanding of our priorities and willing to go above and beyond. I would highly recommend Events by Emily, and if I am ever in search of a coordinator in the future, you will absolutely be my first choice!!! Thank you for making our day as amazing as it was!!
Emily was essential in having our wedding day go perfectly.
She was easy to work with with quick responses and suggestions on items we did not think of to make sure everything wa...
s covered. She helped us develop our timeline and made sure all the vendors were on the same page before the event. The day before our wedding, during our rehearsal, we learned the general manager/venue coordinator left but we didn't worry since we had Emily that knew everything that would be needed for the day. She made sure everything was setup correctly and even put up some flower pieces that were pre made for us. Emily even moved some pieces after the ceremony to the reception area to ensure everything was in the right place.
During our photos before the ceremony Emily had so many items to help us out like a fan, eyedrops, bobby pins and so much more for any accident that may occur. During the wedding she ensured everything was moving along smoothly and that we had anything we needed at all times. She even helped hand out the tips at the end of the night so my wife and I could keep partying.
She truly made our day perfect and I could not recommend her enough for anyone that needs a coordinator.
Emily did partial-full planning for my wedding and I can tell anyone looking for a planner… she is your girl! The attention to detail is on another level. I’ve never experienced so...
meone quite like her. She is so attentive, organized, calm, collected, and brings an overall peacefulness to your day and all the days leading up to it. She went to all of my vendor appts with me, and took care of all the small details I didn’t even think about myself. Her work is just outstanding and I will recommend her services to everyone, forever! I couldn’t have done it without her. Beyond helpful. 10000/10.
As soon as Emily arrived on my wedding day, both my husband and I were able to breathe a sigh of relief. From the very start, she handled absolutely every and anything that came ou...
r way. She had answers to every single question we had and even had an emergency kit which DEFINITELY came in handy multiple times. Whenever we weren’t sure about something, she handled it quickly. She even checked us into our hotel room and moved all of our items from our “getting ready” room into our room so we could stay at our reception and dance. I couldn’t be more happy that we had Emily with us - I don’t think we would have had such a perfect day without her. She bustled my dresses, helped with our photography, made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night and helped pack up all of our decorations. She even kept me calm when I was nervous before the ceremony and made sure I ate and drank water throughout the day. We had an issue with our band announcing our speeches and before I could even ask Emily to speak with the band, she was already on it! These are just a handful of things she helped us with on our wedding day - I could name about 100 more. I seriously can’t recommend her enough. She will make your wedding day absolutely perfect from start to finish, so you can just sit back and soak it all in. You can truly tell that she cares so much about you enjoying and having fun on your wedding day. Book her!!!! You will NOT regret it. Thank you SO much Emily!!!!
Emily was our Coordinator for our wedding recently and we cannot recommend her enough!! From the moment we met Emily she was extremely responsive, supportive, and helpful. She redu...
ced our stress leading up to the wedding and created an amazing timeline for our wedding day. Emily arrived to our venue and helped everyone with every single thing that came up. She was attentive to every detail and worked so hard all day to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Everyone was raving about her. Our day would not have been the same without her! Emily is truly the best and hiring her will be the best decision you can make to help make your day the best possible.
Day-of Wedding Coordinator Review: 10,000/10 recommend!
***Events by Emily***
BEST WEDDING DECISION AND MONEY SPENT!!
First, let me start by saying I didn’t think I needed a da...
y-of coordinator at all. Between my mom, sister/MOH and I - we plan events for work and fun. We can easily throw a wedding but the question was “would I be able to be present/fully enjoying the day and not to stress about the timeline??” That was where I was worried.
*Insert* Emily from Events by Emily… she was our FAIRY GODMOTHER. She grasped our vision/plans for the day quickly prior to the wedding so I was SO confident in her help to execute the day just as I had planned for the last 12 months.
She floated through the day with tremendous professionalism and a sweet calm that allowed us all (me, my husband, family and bridal party) to relax and enjoy all the wonderful parts of the wedding day!
ALSO - she’s a former Ryland Inn bride herself! Bonus!!!
The whole wedding day I didn’t look at a clock once (!!) or stress about anything! My worries completely vanished! She went above and beyond to make our special day flow sooo smoothly and EASILY. She was always 2 steps ahead with everything and anything we could have needed AND with a smile on her face.
I cannot thank her enough for giving me and my husband the gift of being present on this magical day and making it the MOST wonderful and absolute best day!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER AND HER SERVICES!!! (Wedding, showers, birthdays, etc.)
Contact her today to inquire for your 2022 or 2023 event! You won’t regret it.
