Events by Emily

We are so grateful for Emily. She was our calm in the storm of all of the chaos of wedding planning and day of. She was incredible to organize, plan, assist and lead us through this stressful time. I don’t know what we would have done without her!

We had an incredible experience with Emily as our wedding coordinator. Emily is an excellent communicator, clear, very knowledgeable, organized and easy to work with at every stage. 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 absolutely incredible! She stepped in on my friends wedding day and made everything go so smoothly. She was also so prepared! She had tricks and tips and everything. If you want to have the smoothest and relaxing wedding day, highly recommend hiring Emily!

Emily made the planning process easy! Her professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to follow through was perfection! However, Emily is truly in her element the day of the wedding, where her and her team manage everything you could imagine, and even things you couldn’t imagine! I highly recommend Events by 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 serves 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 created 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 was 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 someone 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 our 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 reduced 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 day-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.
