Emily and her team were incredibly organized, punctual, attentive, and detail-oriented. They brought my vision to life with such care and precision. From our initial meeting to the wedding day, Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was always available whenever I had questions, concerns, or needed advice. Not only did I notice her attentiveness, but my family did as well. Emily and her team made sure my husband, our bridal party, and I felt cared for every step of the way. Even during the more stressful moments, Emily kept us calm, comfortable, and reassured. Emily, all I can say is that you are truly amazing—I can’t recommend you enough to my family and friends!

From the very first call, Emily showed us how incredibly detail-oriented she is by having particulars about our specific day already ready - sunset time, direction, and even things we wouldn’t have thought about. It was an obvious choice from there and she really guided us through our journey. The day-of could not have gone smoother. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and the flow was the best of any wedding we’d ever been to. Obviously we’re biased, but we truly mean that, objectively. Thank you, Emily!

We loved Emily so much we wrote 2 reviews! From the bride: I am beyond grateful for having Emily as my day-of coordinator. From the very beginning, Emily’s responsiveness and dedication were unparalleled. She made me feel completely supported throughout the entire planning process, and I truly believe my wedding would not have run so smoothly without her. Emily and her team were incredibly detail-oriented, making sure everything was perfect without a single hitch. She came fully prepared, even bringing an emergency kit for peace of mind. Emily had a remarkable ability to anticipate our needs, often before we even had to ask. Her professionalism and care went above and beyond, and I cannot recommend her highly enough as a day-of coordinator. She truly exceeded all expectations! From the groom: Hi there! I never write reviews but Emily was so great I had share. As someone who is type A and was skeptic of wedding coordinators, I was unsure at first but Emily exceeded every expectation I had. She made us feel like we were in good hands since the first meeting and touched base with us frequently during the planning process. Anytime my wife or I had questions, she would respond almost instantaneously (faster than my wife responds to me sometimes). Emily had contacts with vendors from tuxedo rentals, welcome signs, and so much more which made the planning so smooth. Emily was there for every important vendor meeting and rehearsal. On the day of, Emily made sure everything was on track so I could focus on enjoying our big day. Every time I had a question or felt uncertain on our wedding day, when I looked for/towards Emily, she was already looking back at me giving me the signal things were okay. Everything I needed that day (from water to helping me change into our 3rd outfit), her team was ready to assist almost without being asked. I'm truly grateful we had Emily and her team with us for our big day. I'm glad I never have to get married again, because I'd probably have to pay her 5x what we did.

Emily was absolutely amazing! From our initial meeting to the very end of our wedding day, she took care of it all. She was very easy to work with, consistently answered any and all questions that I had and most importantly, I was not a stressed out bride to be! You will not regret hiring Emily and her team, they were a dream to work with. Thank you Emily + team for the best day ever!

Our wedding day was one we will never forget thanks to the support of Emily, her husband, and her team both on the day of the event as well as the weeks leading up to it. We had full trust in Emily - when a question arose, she was automatically on top of it. She understood the importance of keeping us calm throughout the day as she took care of all of the logistics, production, and schedule as the day unfolded. We are extremely grateful and would absolutely recommend working with Emily for any and all special events.

My husband and I hired Emily as our day of coordinator for our wedding. Since the first time I spoke to Emily she made me feel at ease. She was on top of everything the entire time. Her personality is amazing, she is organized, responds fast and really cares about your concerns no matter how small. I would definitely recommend her! She is the best!! Our wedding day went so smooth and she even fixed my bustle that broke on the wedding day!

Emily is fantastic! She responds promptly to all your questions and concerns. She is very familiar with table visits and was able to assist us going through all our tables which definitely takes time. Of course with every Asian wedding, things can run behind, but Emily and her teammate Tony were so good at moving us along appropriately. They were also kind enough to make sure we had drinks from the bar and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding. We had a few hiccups due to our mistake, and Emily swooped in and saved the day. She took charge and helped fixed it immediately. I had no worries the day of and if I did have a problem she was so quick at mediating the situation. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and she helped us so much. We were so lucky to find her. She goes above and beyond at making sure your wedding runs smoothly and you have fun. Thank you Emily and Tony. Our wedding was a blast thanks to you two! Y’all gave such good vibes. I can’t thank you both enough!

10/10 Emily and her team are the absolute best! My husband and I are not planners. I’m not good with fine details and the idea of planning a wedding was stressful. But Emily made everything so seamless and easy. She updated us, collaborated with vendors, organized meetings, gave us reminders, and gave us the sense of direction we desperately needed. Before the big day she was easy to get a hold of, very quick to respond, and answered all my questions. On the wedding day she and her team killed it! I walked into my dream wedding and never had to think of anything because she took care of every detail. I literally just got to enjoy and party. We loved her and highly recommend. She will make your wedding experience a great one!

I can't even express how thankful I am that we had Emily. Without her there was no way we would've been able to pull off our wedding. She was there to help guide us through managing vendors, doing reception walkthroughs, setting ALL our decorations up, being our calm in the storm on the wedding day, and even reached out to some vendors for quotes which she didn't have to do. Her and her team also worked swiftly to break down and packup our decorations at the end of the night which helped us so much. She was there along the way to ease my mind with any and all questions that I had (which were a lot of questions!) I seriously couldn't have done this without her. I recommend her and her team to anyone.

Emily was very responsive and proactive in making sure we have everything squared away as much as possible. We booked Emily about 7 months before our wedding, so there were quiet periods where we didn't necessarily need to be in touch, but Emily made sure to reach out from time to time to ensure that she's available to help with anything we may need. We ended up using a few of Emily's vendor recommendations that turned out fantastic for us! On the day of the wedding, she made sure we were always hydrated and comfortable while we were being dragged around for photography and such. And at the end of the night, everything was squared away and they made sure we all got back safely. We loved our experience with Emily!

Emily is amazing! She is resourceful and passionate, and my husband and I completely trusted her. It was wonderful to brainstorm and bounce ideas off of her, and it helped ease my stress beforehand and during the reception day. She and Claire made sure that we stayed on the timeline and that vendors were on task. She helped us be able to focus on us and our guests, while she worked behind the scenes. She deserves all the recognition and praise sent her way and then some. Don’t question it—book her now!

We hired Emily because we knew we needed help since we were having a backyard wedding. She was so responsive, efficient, and attentive to all the details we wanted for our wedding. She went above and beyond for us in the months leading up to the wedding, and our wedding day could not have been more perfect. She made sure everything was taken care of while we just enjoyed the day. All of our guests loved attending and told us how beautiful the day and events were. Her timeliness, adaptability, and expertise helped us create a day to forever remember that was incredibly executed. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and we will always be grateful for Emily.

Emily was super accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process!! She was CERY much needed the day of to help with any wedding day hiccupsq or questions people had. My husband and parents were actually hesitant about booking her cause they didn’t think it was necessary to book a day of coordinator. I was persistent and Emily was 100% worth it. My husband kept expressing how helpful she was!! Also SUUUUPEER responsive throughout the whole process. I would text her and she would text me asap. Love her so much that even my cousin who’s getting married in December booked with her!

Jennifer P

Emily was amazing! She met with me several time before the big day to help with schedule and checking up on all contracts and details. She was able to read the day and adjust/organize accordingly. We could not have done it without her and her team!!

Kevin K

8/22/2024

I truly thought I had my wedding and reception together and was way over my head as we got closer to our actual date. I was experiencing doubts every day and needed help. I reached out to Claire and was put together with confidence. There were things I was completely unaware of or would ever think to consider walking into this. I would highly highly recommend you do the right thing for yourself and get the help. Thank you Claire and Evntsbyem for the fantastic experience. I honestly couldn't imagine my special day without your help.

Emily and her team went above and beyond! Emily was extremely organized and made my wedding day so much easier and I was able to really enjoy my day knowing that all the little things were being taken care of. Throughout the whole planning process she was very present which only made me feel more confident in her on the big day! I would definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator!

5 stars all around for Emily and her team. From start to finish, Emily demonstrated exceptional communication and organizational skills, ensuring that our special day was perfect in every way. She ensured that every vendor was on time and every element was perfectly in place. Thanks to her expert coordination, I was able to fully enjoy our big day without worrying about a single thing. She even helped me with my bustle! I cannot recommend Emily highly enough for anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make your day truly special. Thank you, EVNTSBYEM, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

I knew I needed a day of coordinator mainly because my ceremony and reception were going to be in different locations. My intention in hiring one was to ensure the personal decor made it to the venue and was set up. However; Emily did so much more than we anticipated. She had multiple meetings with us before the big day to work on timelines, details, and making sure we were all set for the wedding. She even attended a few meetings we had with our vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. I would text Emily here and there whenever I would suddenly remember something I forgot to do or ask about but Emily was always 10 steps ahead of me. I honestly had all the faith in Emily and her team on my wedding day that I was not feeling stressed at all on the day. Everything was perfect - the reception went by so smoothly despite our packed agenda and she even got us ahead of schedule! We cannot recommend Emily enough and are so grateful to her and her team!

1000/10, whatever expectations we had, Emily and her team found a way to exceed. We hired her team with their day of coordination package for our wedding, but Emily was a huge help to our planning process starting months before the wedding day ever came. As we got closer and closer to the day, Emily was extremely responsive to answer any and all questions we had. And the actual day of the wedding? My husband and I didn’t have to think of anything at all, she handled any situations quickly and with grace and ease. We had the best day of our lives and it absolutely would not have been a seamless experience without Emily and her team.

If you are a couple that is interested in an amazing, detail-oriented, professional, timely and organized event coordinator, evntsbyem is the coordinator for you! My husband and I hired emily as our day-of coordinator and she went above and beyond since the moment we booked her. She was always available, filled with so much knowledge and always gave great advice regarding the wedding-planning process. she is always in constant support and protection of all her couples and prioritizes her couples being able to enjoy their day. bonus points: female, asian-owned, asian-wedding experienced (for those hosting a chinese tea ceremony on same day.) excellent. 10/10 recommend.

If you guys want someone who goes WAY above and beyond what you thought you paid for for, this is your gal. We hired her for our wedding almost a year before the event for day-of coordination, and expected just maybe an email or two before our grand day in March 2024. Not only did she pretty much jump in and practically worked as our partial planner, I had to remind this girl many times she was going WAY above her line of duties (in a good way) and that I did not want her to burden herself with tasks that we should be doing ourselves! She brought Claire as one of her leads, who was a godsend at the end of the night and helped us as our main contact through the night from the couple's side as Emily coordinated the main tasks. They work incredibly well as a pair, and recommend both of them fully for any future events. THANK YOU again for creating such a magical night for us, and we highly recommend Emily and her team for any future weddings or major events you may have!

Emily was everything we were hoping for and more in a wedding day coordinator! She went above and beyond to ensure everything was prepared and organized beforehand, including helping with vendor communication and our personal prep even before the day. Our wedding day went so smoothly because she seamlessly handled everything from set up to breakdown, which allowed us to just enjoy the day. We 100% recommend Emily!!

Melinda R

11/17/2023

I absolutely recommend working with Emily for your wedding. I really can't imagine how the experience would have been without her. Leading up to the wedding she sent us checklists, attended meetings, and answered every question that we had. Then, the day of our wedding she made sure to take care of everything so that we were able to actually enjoy our wedding day. I cannot thank her and her team enough for everything they did!

Where do I start!? Emily came recommended by our florist, Jenifer and we are beyond grateful that we found her! Emily and her team executed our wedding flawlessly and we can't thank her enough! While I've been to my share of weddings, it's different when it's your own big day. We only contracted Emily for her Signature Day of Planning package, but Emily was available every step of the way, provided valuable input, stayed on top of vendors, kept the wedding on track, and moving. On the wedding day, she essentially became a personal assistant. Whatever we needed, she was prepared and got it done. Personally picked up our wedding accessories to the venue, transported things from ceremony to reception to our room. Thirsty and needed water? She got it. Heck, when my contacts were bothering me right before the ceremony, she even had eye drops in her emergency kit! Nothing felt rushed, we weren't behind schedule, there was nothing chaotic about the day, and even 2 of my bridesmaids who have been in many weddings said our wedding was the most relaxed/least stressful wedding that they had been a part of. For anyone who is hesitant to hire a coordinator and thinks a family member can do it, the best advice I can give now that I've gone through the process is don't leave it to family. Spent the money, hire a professional coordinator, and make the choice to hire Emily!

Evntsbyem was amazing! She was recommended to me by my best friend who was also getting married and I am so thankful I hired her as well! From my initial phone call to everything in between Emily was available to me to guide me through this process and make my day run seamlessly. She was always available when I needed her! Seriously, Emily and her team are who you need for all your wedding needs!! Emily kept us on track throughout our wedding planning process and it was just extremely helpful to bounce off ideas with her because she’s had so much experience in the wedding planning. Emily and her team helped the entire day run so smoothly that my husband and I were able to enjoy our day! If I had forgot to explain something she new exactly how to improvise and execute. We’re so glad we had her and her amazing team with us and on our wedding day. My family was also so impressed by her running the show the day of my wedding and rehearsal. We couldn’t stop talking about it! We couldn’t be more happy with how the day turned out her organization and execution is really A+!! She also made sure all of our personal stuff was organized and put away at the end of the night she really goes above and beyond for you!! Thank you so much Emily!

Emily made our wedding planning process much more easier! She's organized, on top of it, always there to communicate and had great referrals! I was able to lean on her for advise and she kept in mind of our budget when it came to referring affordable vendors.

I can’t say enough great things about Emily! She and her team did it all on our wedding day and allowed us to not worry about a thing. She’s very detail oriented and did an amazing job coordinating with all our of vendors prior to our big day so they were all in sync every step of the way. On our wedding day, she took care of us by bringing us food, water, drinks and checked on us throughout the night. She went above and beyond continuously through out the night and will be the best decision you’ll make! I’m so grateful to have worked with her. Highly recommend!

EVNTSBYEM is the absolute best wedding coordinator we could've asked for. Emily was keen on details and always insured her wedding couple's needs and comfort were prioritized. Emily is a true professional! She is kind, organized, and takes initiative to create the best event for her clients. Her and her team had every detailed covered. She is great on communication with her clients and was able to address every need and concern with grace. We are so thankful to work with Emily and highly recommend her for all events.

Emily was amazing!! We couldn’t be any more happy with her coordination! Even though we booked her month of coordination package, she was by our side from the moment we booked her. She knew exactly what was going on at all time, kept us on track with deadlines and didn’t hesitate to help us when I was having some trouble looking for vendors. Her team was super professional and so so kind on the wedding day, tending to us whenever we needed it. We couldn’t have had the most perfect day with Emily and her team! You won’t regret hiring Emily for your special day!!

Everything I needed in a Day of Coordinator and more. Where can I begin? When I learned that I needed a Day of Coordinator for my wedding venue I went into a panic. Luckily the venue gave me a list of coordinators to choose from. Evnts By Em was the first name on the list something about her name stood out to me and I knew she would be perfect. Thankfully she had my wedding date open so I knew it was meant to be. I was already a cool, calm, collected bride , but having her on my side I chilled even more. She was very responsive to my needs, gave me suggestions/ideas took it a step further and helped me tie some small details together like the name cards with the color/meal coordination. I loved her organization between me and all the vendors. I loved that she was there for me during my wedding helping me and my family. I’m forever thankful for Evnts By Em I’m so happy that my wedding date was available on her calendar. Thank you again.

If you are in search of a planner/coordinator for ANY EVENT, let me save you some time. Go with Emily! She went above and beyond to make sure we were on task with the wedding planning, kept in touch with our vendors, helped us in more ways than one. To describe her professionalism and overall work, words cannot explain. We are beyond grateful for everything she did for us. From being long distance between my now husband and I to personal events that put us behind sometimes. Emily quite literally did everything in her power to do all she can to make sure we had a great day! Any couple or individual would be lucky to have her as a planner/coordinator for any of their events.

The day of, Emily and her team made sure everything went smoothly. We had a great wedding and Emily was a huge party of making that happen.
