Emily was amazing to work with! Our elopement on Madeline Island was so much fun and stress free even after changing our venue at last minute. Everything turned out beautiful and ...
the whole day was just flawless. We also loved that we could rent décor from her to make it even easier. I highly recommend her. Thank you for making our special day better then we could have imagined!
Working with Emily at Lace and Brass Events was truly the best experiencer ever. She made our elopement feel so simple, beautiful, and stress-free while bringing our vision to life...
perfectly My husband and I are absolutely in love with our photos and will cherish them forever. Emily made everything feel so special and effortless, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Lace and Brass Events for any of your wedding plans. You will not regret it !
We wanted a low-key wedding and Emily with Lace and Brass Events made that happen! Everything was super easy and stress-free. Between just having to send pictures of the bouquet I ...
wanted to the easy flexibility with timing and locations I could not have asked for a better process. Emily had answers for any questions I had and worked to make our day feel magical. She also set us up with a fantastic photographer and almost let our dog lead her on a happily ever after adventure while we were getting some fantastic pictures. Could not be happier with how everything turned out!
Emily and her team were phenomenal. My wife found them while looking for wedding ideas on the north shore and they gave us everything that we were looking for. She was beyond easy ...
to work with, helping us through location ideas, having the photographer vendor list to pick through along with florists. We were able to tell Emily what we wanted, and she said "got it". And then most importantly she delivered!
On the wedding day her onsite coordinator for the day Chelsie was there with signs, umbrellas and flowers that were EXACTLY what my wife wanted. They matched her vision and the color scheme for my suit perfectly. It was uncanny how great it was. Chelsie helped make sure that everything went off without a hitch from guest arrival to after pictures.
If you are looking for help with a small ceremony along the north shore, are busy, and can't plan it all, let them do it for you, as they have it dialed in.
I have never seen my wife happier than that day, and that made working with Emily and team worth every penny!
Highly highly recommend working with Lace and Brass Events. Emily knows how to take the stress of wedding planning out of the hands of the bride and execute the day of her dreams. ...
She’s an active listener with the ability to take an out-of-towner’s ideas and turn them into a reality only a local would have the knowledge and skill to do. Prices are fair and her vendor list is immaculate (shout out to Max Caven Photography and Flora North). You will not regret working with Lace and Brass! We’re so glad we did.
Lace and Brass Events came across my google search when our own small wedding planning became problematic in many ways. Emily is calm, professional, direct and accommodating to you...
r vision. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. We eloped, just the two of us and did private vows at the state park in Madeline island. It rained but Emily knows her way around and made sure we got plenty of photos, my flowers turned out exactly how I hoped and requested. We will cherish this day and Madeline Island in our hearts forever. We will be recommending Lace and Brass Events to everyone!
Emily is the most fantastic person to work with. She is organized, thoughtful, creative, friendly and truly a godsend! She made our wedding planning process fun and she made sure w...

Emily’s attention to detail, professionalism, and personal touch made our special day unforgettable.

I thought I could plan my private elopement on my own, but when the stress of finding witnesses & everything else became too much, I decided to book with Lace & Brass. I do NOT reg...
ret that decision at all! As soon as they took over, my stress vanished. They made everything so easy, so smooth. Incredibly professional & responsive. Emily was always polite & very helpful! A special shoutout to McKenzie, our officiant, who made me feel so at ease during the ceremony & afterwards. She was such a positive & fun presence to have with us. I’m usually shy around strangers, but I didn’t feel that way at all with her! Cannot recommend Lace & Brass enough. Thank you for making our special day the most incredible experience we could’ve asked for!

for. Emily did an incredible job working with the florist, and the flowers turned out amazing. The services and vendors they work with are truly top notch. I would highly recommend L&B to anyone looking for wedding services.

timeline were invaluable in ensuring everything ran smoothly. Our day-of coordinator, McKenzie, was a delight—she was not only professional but also made the experience feel personal and special. The rentals from Lace and Brass allowed us to decorate in a way that perfectly matched our vision, all while being sustainable. I highly recommend Lace and Brass for any of your event needs!

AMAZING!!! Couldn’t have done the wedding without McKenzie! So thankful for finding them!

at the venue made the whole process surmountable. Emily and her team’s talent and craft is unmatched!! I would not have been able to pull it off without Lace & Brass! The unique one-stop-shop approach makes Lace & Brass an asset for brides! Their calm demeanor and persevering approach were greatly appreciated to this anxious bride!
I wish I could give them an infinite number of star rating! My wife and I toured enough venues and started planning for a large traditional wedding; it was so stressful for both of...
us even to begin planning. Not to mention the price of even the cheapest venue alone meant not moving into a house anytime soon. Luckily on a hunch we went back to the drawing board and found Lace & Brass! I cannot express how easy Emily made it for my wife and I to be wed and have the best day of our lives! My wife and I had about a million questions and Emily was always there to answer quickly. She also worked with the florist when my wife's first choice flowers were out of season to provide an alternative that was even better then my wife's first choice! We also had the guest list change three times and Emily allowed us to change the photography list even days before the wedding date. The final example I can give of Emily going above and beyond is, when my wife and I forgot to sign a section of the marriage license, because we were on Madeline island, she re-boarded a ferry to meet us at the end of our photo shoot to get it corrected, then left later then planned.
The Duluth and Superior area is where we met, fell in love, and began our relationship. It was only fitting we should also be married there. To top it off with Lace & Brass, we were able to be married on the same beach I proposed!
Outstanding services and options, amazing people everywhere from Emily, to our flouriest, and amazing photographer; I can go on forever how amazing Lace & Brass Events was.
We married in September 2023, on Madeline island with the help of Emily and her team at Lace & Brass. The connections, knowledge, and patience that they have is worth its weight in...
gold. LBE connected us with flowers, makeup, catering, lodging, an officiant, a photographer, etc. given that we live in Milwaukee, it was so comforting knowing that LBE was so familiar with northern Wisconsin, and Madeline island. All of these vendors know each other, and work together flawlessly!
The day of our wedding, LBE did everything for us! Emily brought our flowers, tables, chairs, table scape, cutlery, etc. whilst we were away at the state park taking cliff photos with our photographer Emily and her team set our entire ceremony and cocktail hour necessities. My wedding weekend had a few unforeseen hiccups, that were out of our control and Emily & her team put out any and every fire that arose, which I am forever grateful and thankful for. Hiring LBE for planning and day of coordination was the best choice I made for my wedding (besides marrying my husband of course)
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Emily & all of her vendors on Madeline Island
We knew we wanted to have a beautiful and intimate ceremony (at most 15-20 people) where it felt like the focus for the day was on the two of us. Lace and Brass Events went above a...
nd beyond and made this a reality! We got married at the Rose Garden in Duluth, MN.
We worked with Emily and could not have asked for more. She was incredibly responsive to all questions! She kept us well-informed. More than anything, she made the process so EASY. Obviously weddings are stressful, and throughout the whole process, Emily made us feel secure. She has an amazing list of vendors for the day. We could not recommend her more for planning a small wedding ceremony!
Working with the team at Lace and Brass was so easy and effortless. They followed up on all communication, managed our vendors and made our big day go so smoothly. I truly apprecia...
te all the help to make our 'destination' wedding exactly as I wanted, especially since we had never been to the area. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an easy, intimate wedding.

pecially with linens, glassware and small wedding accessories. The whole process of renting through L&B was simple and easy! We booked day of coordinating services with McKenzie and she worked with us right off the bat when planning out our wedding. We would have frequent phone calls to discuss each step of the planning process and when it came to our wedding weekend, McKenzie coordinated our rehearsal and wedding day!
McKenzie was absolutely great to work with and gave great advice throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, McKenzie helped navigate all the unexpected and kept our timeline in mind!
We needed to rework many aspects of our wedding day due to an absence within our wedding party and some rain during our reception. McKenzie knew exactly how to handle each situation and was so attentive to our entire wedding party! My favorite little moment she helped create was slicing a piece of wedding cake for my grandma and bringing this treat over to her. I was so grateful McKenzie could spoil my grandma for me when I was busy within the wedding night!
Our overall experience was wonderful and we would definitely recommend L&B!
Emily and her team at Lace & Brass took ALL of the stress and confusion out of wedding planning. We had a Wisconsin destination small, intimate ceremony and the whole process from ...
planning to day-of coordination was a breeze! Working with Lace & Brass lifted the immense weight of wedding planning off our shoulders so that we could enjoy our day exactly the way we wanted it. Emily consistently and promptly answered all of our questions and was extremely thorough, everything you need out of a wedding planner - we can not recommend their services enough!
My husband & I had received some news from our venue saying they were unable to host our wedding, only a couple months before the date. I reached out to Emily, on a really tight ti...
meline, to see if she was able to plan & coordinate an elopement for us. In only a couple weeks, we had completely planned our new ceremony on Madeline Island, WI! Emily & her team were so thorough and professional throughout the entire process, helping me with any questions and concerns. Emily's expertise, fast communication and professionalism made the whole wedding planning experience easy and fun! She truly will do everything in her power to create the most beautiful wedding for the two of you. We are so grateful for everything that Lace & Brass Events did to create the most personal, romantic and cherished day of our lives!
Lace & Brass helped me tremendously throughout the planning process for our wedding. We used them for the day of coordination, but they provide so many materials to help you plan. ...
We live in Madison, WI and I knew I would need help choosing vendors and planning some logistics. Emily at Lace & Brass is absolutely incredible. She knew all the right questions to ask to have things run smoothly. Our wedding day went perfectly. Not a single thing went wrong (that I knew of 😉 ) and the whole day was an absolute dream. I cannot express how thankful I am that she was our coordinator. I truly believe our day would not have run as smoothly without her, so she and Lace & Brass are a large portion of what made our day the best day of our lives.
As a LGBT couple, we wanted to feel comfortable and respected in our wedding planning process, and we could not have asked for a better match in Lace & Brass Events. Working with E...
mily and her team was a complete joy! Emily's expertise, stellar communication, connections to other vendors, and professionalism made our wedding planning experience effortless. We are not kidding when we say we could NOT have gotten ourselves to the alter without her! We highly recommend working with Lace & Brass Events to make your wedding day dreams a reality.
I never was one to think about getting married but it truly was the best day of my life and that had a lot to do with Emily. Her energy and poise she brought to the day really made...
it perfect. During the whole process Emily was prompt, knowledgable, easy going, professional and most of all she listened and took into account every little thing we requested.
Side Note: We eloped in Bayfield and choose the rose gold all inclusive package
Emily was organized, timely with her responses and very easy to work with. I appreciated her attention to detail and adaptability.
We worked with McKenzie for wedding coordination and also got multiple beautiful rentals, all through Lace & Brass Events. We had so many compliments on the beautiful farm table, w...
ooden chairs, and velvet loveseat and the rental process was so seamless! We had the decor of my dreams because of them.
McKenzie was SO helpful and kind throughout the whole planning process of the wedding. She was my go to girl the whole wedding day and helped make sure everything was so streamlined! I don’t know how we could’ve gotten through the day without her- seriously! Because of McKenzie, I was able to fully enjoy my entire wedding day and be present and I will never be able to thank her enough for that.
If you are debating using Lace & Brass- just do it!! You will thank yourself so much, they are so kind, responsive, and thorough. Would highly recommend McKenzie and the whole team to any of my family and friends!
If you work a ton and have little interest in planning your wedding—this is the company for you!! We had an overall awesome experience with Lace and Brass! Our officiant was am...
azing, the staff were very professional, and as two busy professionals working each up to 80 hours/week we had little time to be involved the wedding process. Emily made everything easy and stress free! The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because we requested a bouquet with pink and white flowers, and the bouquet/boutonnière we received had orange and white flowers which were dry and old looking 😕 I wondered if my order had been forgotten and the florist threw something together at the last minute. Again, I feel like this is more of a reflection of the florist they used than L&B. I would have rather had a pretty off color bouquet with healthy flowers than a dried up orange one, but I’m guessing there wasn’t any time to ask for my input.
It didn’t make much of a difference for our ceremony as we had little decoration, but we had pink and white decorations/flowers at our reception and we had to ditch the bouquet as soon as we arrived. Other than that, loved, LOVED our stress free experience with them, and have been recommending them to all our friends.
I knew for a long time I did not want a big wedding, and I had never heard of micro-weddings till I saw a video on it randomly. In searching through Google, I found Lace & Brass Ev...
ents--I was immediately HOOKED. They showed pictures of amazing elopements, and the prices were doable for couples who aren't looking to go into debt over one day. The best part of it all is how hassle free they made it. You just make your selections, and they do everything else. I had NO stress going into my big day, and I could be present fully for it. I can't recommend enough to do an elopement, you will be SO happy you did! I woke up the next day just absolutely pleased, and no "it's all over" type of crash I see people get--after spending the whole year planning for this one day, then feeling bummed that the 'peak' was over. Ours felt like an on going event through the weekend, as we paired our elopement with a mini getaway in the city we selected. It felt like such an intimate moment for us. I also was really impressed with the location Emily found for our ceremony! It felt nice to give over the responsibility to someone else, and know I could trust it.
Emily and her team at Lace & Brass were OUTSTANDING!!!! We truthfully couldn't have been happier with how they communicated leading up to the wedding and executed on the big day. T...
hey handled numerous difficulties (questionable weather, 300+ guests, etc.) without a hitch and communicated clearly and confidently with us at all times. L&B will make you feel cool, calm, and collected during a time when you need it most :)
I always knew I wanted a small, intimate wedding and Emily at Lace and Brass made that dream possible! We originally were thinking we would like to have our wedding in Sept. 2023; ...
however, our plans changed, and I began a frantic search online for affordable options in a short time frame. I called Emily in June, and she immediately sent me different locations for the ceremony and dates available. Emily was extremely attentive, coordinated, and easy to work with through our wedding planning process. She has a great selection for her packages to fit any wedding type! We loved everything about our elopement from the location option, photographer, flowers, officiant, and the lack of stress we had knowing everything was coordinated so perfectly. Thank you, Emily, for providing amazing, professional service and making our day perfect! -Kaylee and Marshall Elopement Sept 2022

fectly, she got our florist for us, all I had todo was send her a picture of a bouquet I wanted and on the day of she showed up with the most beautiful bouquet/boutonnière. I was able to chose from a selection of photographers to find someone who fit best for us! She really made our wedding stress free with getting our officiant lined up for us and allowing us to chose the location we loved so much. Her communication, her kindness and help she provided before and on on our wedding day was perfect and if you’re looking for a wedding planner I would highly recommend working with Emily and her crew to ensure you have a easy breezy day so you can focus on what’s most important, you!!
Also if you’re debating on getting a wedding planner, JUST DO IT - You’ll be so much happier!

o benefit from her contacts with local vendors and her experience of wedding planning, so that we knew to ask ourselves the right questions. Having her present on the day really took a weight off our shoulders. All of it went so smoothly, we were never distracted from our event with stressful decision-making! It had all been discussed ahead of time and Emily knew just when to check in with us and when to manage things. We also rented chairs, an arch, and decorations from her, which she set up and took down with her assistant. Not only was that very convenient, it looked really great and all our guests thought so too!

Lace & Brass Events took care of everything,
We had the pleasure of working with Emily; the entire experience was tailored to exactly what we wanted.
I sent Emily a few picture...
s of what I liked for flowers and Emily had the florist design a gorgeous bouquet and matching boutonnière for my husband.
We Eloped on Madeline Island because of the beautiful scenery.
Emily was familiar with the area and knew some really beautiful areas for pictures.
As we got closer to the wedding day there was severe weather in the forecast. They were predicting 2 inch hail during the ceremony. Emily was calm and super optimistic emailing me the night before options with pictures in case we got rained out. The weather ended up holding out for our ceremony and pictures but it was reassuring to know we had a backup plan.
Thank you Emily, Our wedding day was perfect!!!!!
