Heartthrob Weddings and Events

Where do I even begin? I LITERALLY can not gush about Emily enough and I don’t know that my review can do how amazing she is justice, but I’m going to try. I knew I wanted to hire her before I was even engaged. I’d worked with her on weddings as a vendor in the past and she has always been great to work with from that side, and our experience with her as our planner was no different. Emily is, hands down, one of the best wedding planners I know. She runs a tight ship and is incredibly straightforward, efficient, and knowledgable. Her eye for design is unmatched. I talk about our MASSIVE mood board that she put together for us constantly because it was absolutely incredible and helped give not only us, but our vendors a clear look into what we were planning and what our design vision was for our wedding day (this was my favorite part). Her budget management system was absolutely everything and helped us stay on track, and she even had a 3D floorpan for us to work with when it came to table assignments that was so easy to work with. She put together a thorough timeline for our wedding day, and walked through that timeline with us and our vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. She took these tasks that could have felt like climbing Mount Everest to complete and made them easy and manageable for us. I thought I would be the *chill bride* after having been in the wedding industry for nearly 13 years, but after having an all-day mental breakdown over table linens and what colors I liked best, I knew I was not the chill vibes I aspired to be. Emily walked me through and kept me calm throughout this particular mental breakdown in addition to the entire planning process *while also* making sure that I felt heard and understood . She talked me down off of so many ledges and even took things off of my hands when they felt like too much (like figuring out and booking hotel blocks). Within 48-72 hours of our wedding, we ran into a number of little fires (as every wedding does, I’m sure) that Emily seamlessly put out without missing a beat. As I was running around and stuffing our car for the trip to our hotel, Emily was having extra menus that were missed overnighted from our designer in Michigan, handling rentals arrivals, managing our vendors, and then even running through our ceremony rehearsal via facetime since myself, my husband, MoH and parents were stuck in gridlock traffic. On the day of, my husband and I were SO comfortable with Emily running the show and everything ran perfectly. She never gave off anything but a relaxed and professional energy (I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to have calm and collected folks surrounding you) and my family and bridal party loved her, too. I can not imagine planning or having our wedding day without her and I can’t imagine how chaotic things would have been without her. I would hire Emily 100 times over. I adore her and we can not thank her enough for everything she has done for us.
