Lace & Brass Events, LLC

mended vendor we had (photography, florist, officiant, venue) was incredible. I was so happy with the results of my big day and felt things went absolutely perfect. The day of, Emily took care of a lot of little details to setting up decorations, coordinating photography and family, and even random hiccups she solved right away. She was super friendly and helped everything to go sooo smoothly. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing some to a lot of guidance on where to begin.

s the BEST! We highly recommend her and her team for your special day!

wedding planner for our wedding but we honestly could not have had the day we had without her. We live 3 hours away from Bayfield but Emily was so great at communicating with us, willing to schedule calls whenever we had questions that couldn’t be answered in email, and including us in the entire planning process. We originally had plans to get married on Madeline Island but, due to COVID, our plans had to change less than 2 months before our planned wedding day. We found out on a Friday that our venue was canceling the wedding and by that Sunday, Emily had sent us a new list of venues and options for us all around the area. Everyone that Emily recommended for us to work with was fantastic and we are so glad they were a part of our day. We had the most beautiful ceremony and our day turned out even better than we could have hoped. We really could not have put together a day like that without the help of Emily and Lace & Brass Events.

. Any questions I had leading up were answered quickly. She handled everything to the point where we had no stress in the days leading up to our elopement. Emily was extremely prepared (even having scissors handy when I had a loose string on my dress and an extra set of hands when I needed someone to hold my bouquet). Our family had no worries but to just enjoy themselves. Even being the bride and groom we had no worries so we could just enjoy each other in the moment. We still talk about how laid back and stress free we were able to be! I have already recommended Lace and Brass Events to friends and will continue to do so! We couldn’t have made a better choice! ❤️

he process from start to finish was so simple and stress free! Chelsea, our coordinator the day of was so helpful and we really enjoyed having her with us. I would recommend to anyone!

edding day!

are not planners by any means and I stumbled on to the Lace and Brass Events website after looking for places to elope on Lake Superior. I contacted Emily after looking at all the beautiful photos on the website. We knew we wanted Lake Superior involved in our wedding and Emily responded the super fast. After setting an official date, she sent us some options of where we could do the ceremony and a list of photographers to choose from. Talk about making things easy! (Again, my husband and I are terrible at planning anything!) Gooseberry Falls and Shawna Vine Photography seemed like the perfect match for us. I sent her a screenshot of a bouquet I liked on Pinterest and when the day came they nailed it! On our wedding day Chelsie was our coordinator and she was awesome. We had a little ring incident (my daughter dropped it and lost it for a hot minute) Chelsie immediately got on it, reassuring me that she would personally comb through every blade of grass on the beach until it was found! Talk about dedication! Emily and Chelsie were both friendly, personable and professional. I would definitely recommend the Lace and Brass team if you get stressed easily and are bad at planning anything like myself. I cannot say enough good things, if I had to do it over I wouldn’t change a thing.

s able to help me plan it a month before the set date which was incredible! Chelsie was incredibly professional and helpful on location at our Lutsen ceremony. She helped us a ton with our high energy dog (cannot thank you enough!!) and she was quick to help us with anything we needed during the ceremony. I loved the vender options Emily was able to provide and organize. Our officiant and photographer were perfection. The flowers were a dream. Overall the day was perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing about it! Thank you to Emily and Chelsie for making it as seamless and stress-free as possible!

se my stress. She helped me every step of the way, and was always able to answer my questions. She truly knows what she is doing, and is incredible at her job. The day of the wedding she was so helpful, from setting up the arch for the ceremony, to holding my dogs while we were taking photos, and even lighting the candles at our reception. She truly did everything. She truly went above and beyond my expectations. I want to say thank you to Emily, and highly recommend Lace & Brass Events to anyone looking for help with their wedding.

a few short months! She was always very responsive to emails and helped us to problem solve any hiccups. The weekend of the wedding she was amazing- she transformed our space so beautifully, kept everything organized and continued to check in on me to make sure I had eaten and to keep me in the loop on any changes to the timeline (which is important because of vendors having to take the ferry off Madeline Island). She is such a calm presence which is really nice to have when wedding nerves are high. I felt confident she was taking care of everything and I was able to just enjoy the day! Overall it was the best day of our lives and we owe much of that to the help of Emily! I have already recommended her to friends and will continue to rave about her!

responsive, knowledgeable, and had great ideas! Her coordination made our day perfect, and stress free! The vendor connections she has are fabulous and they all did a great job as well. I wouldn't change a thing, and will definitely recommend Emily/Lace & Brass Events to my friends!

ssional.

en as well. Emily made planning the ceremony so easy for us and at a very reasonable price. We live six hours away so we put a lot of trust in Emily but she did a great job at communicating with us and including us in the planning process. Everything in our “Rose Gold Package” was perfect and turned out more beautifully than I ever could have imagined! The wedding of our dreams would not have been possible without Emily!

ding. I was so panicked and unsure of what I was going to do but then a friend recommended an elopement planner called Lace & Brass Events. I contacted them and Emily got back to me so quick and lucky for me she was still available! Everything from that point on put me at ease because Emily took care of it all. I got married on the pebble beach at split rock lighthouse and it was nothing like I had planned and imagined but it ended up being more beautiful than originally planned! I had an amazing day and I recommend Lace & Brass Events to anyone I talk to!

we put our full trust into Lace & Brass to help plan every detail of our intimate ceremony. Emily had great recommendations for vendors in the Bayfield area and helped us get in touch with them. Our original plan was to get married on the beach, but a few days before the wedding Emily reached out because of the potential for rainy conditions. I was so thankful that we had a backup plan in place; it made the change of plans much easier to manage. Our intimate ceremony with our immediate family present took place in the gazebo in Bayfield. It was not part of our original plan, but I'm extremely glad it ended up raining and that we had it there! It's not something we would have chosen for ourselves, but Emily had the insight and knowledge to know what would work best for us and what we wanted. We wouldn't change any part of our Thursday in October wedding day and can't thank Emily and the Lace & Brass Events staff for their amazing work!

free as humanly possible. She has clear and consistent communication, a ton of helpful knowledge to walk couples through the process with ease, and her help as well as general presence on the day of the ceremony was so appreciated. She felt like a natural supportive person to be there. If you want to elope or have a minimal ceremony without getting sucked into the more-is-better mindset that is sadly too common in the wedding industry, you should absolutely consider what Lace & Brass Events can offer. We never felt pressured to upgrade anything, yet Emily was so accommodating for the upgrades we did want. Everything was classy and thoughtful while still achieving the intimate and simple ceremony for our close loved ones that we were going for.

eeping our elopement quiet and she was really one of the only people I could bounce ideas off of. She also put me at ease when a snowstorm hit the night before the wedding. She reached out to the vendors and reassured me that everything would be okay. Cheslie was our coordinator on our big day. She was so sweet and ready to help with anything we needed. The flowers were beautiful the photographer and officiant were amazing and I am so grateful to Emily and Chelsie at Lace & Brass for pulling it all together.

ng for a wedding planner!

rs for a seamless ceremony and reception. Because of her services we were able to focus solely on enjoying our day. We will be forever grateful for you Emily. Thank you SO much! You are amazing!

hem into a dream day that we could not have done on our on own. She is beyond organized, creative, and genuinely sweet. Even when things were a little rocky with a vendor, Emily handled the situation professionally and with poise. If you have any doubts at all about hiring a wedding planner, for an elopement, day of, or full coordination, Emily and her assistant are worth it! Thank you for everything!

oices she gave me were difficult to make as they were all so good. Emily was prompt and helpful in all email communications and very sweet in person on the big day. So appreciative of all she did. I highly recommend her for your wedding planning needs.

ed in often to ask if we needed help with anything. She was always quick to respond to our emails and answered any questions we had. She was even flexible and understanding when it looked like our original location for our ceremony wasn’t going to work out, she took extra time to scout additional locations and helped put my mind at ease. I would recommend Emily and Lace and Brass Events to anyone looking to plan an elopement or intimate wedding.

expertise, A LOT of planning is needed to pull of a wedding on an island and she helped us coordinate every little detail making the day run seamlessly! We had the best time and received so many positive compliments from friends and family. We are so happy to have found her, hired her, and worked with her! Would definitely recommend! - Matisse and Cole

to set up a time to call and speak to me over the phone. We had originally planned a very small elopement in a wooded location with just myself, the groom and his daughter. What ended up happening was a small wedding ceremony of 14 guest of our immediate family under a willow tree right on Lake Superior. The day was absolutely gorgeous, everything fell into play and went very smoothly. The package I had chose did not include the food or wedding cake but Emily gave me a list of local restaurants and bakeries in the area to choose from. After the ceremony, everybody ended up at Good Thyme Restaurant and Harbor House Sweets delivered the wedding cake. I could not have asked for a better day. I wish I could go back and do all it again, that was the best wedding decision I have made!! :)

wedding day. We always felt like it was under-control, and when it came to the big day we were both worry free, we knew Emily would handle any sort of "hiccups". Our day was even more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed. We had MANY guests tell us that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever been to :) I would highly recommend Emily and her team-especially if you are doing a tented wedding, they are the best!

ways, "No problem!". The day of the event I did not even need to show up. She had everything handled from flower arrangements to the bathroom kits. At the end of the night, they boxed everything up for easy removal at the venue the next day. They were both extremely patient with me. If you are looking for a "take charge" wedding planner you can't go wrong with them! :)

were also happy to see it was possible to invite a few close friends and family to share the day with. After an initial phone interview with Emily, we knew this was the route we were going to go to tie the knot. From that initial conversation, things only got more exciting, and time and time again our expectations were exceeded. Emily took all of the stress out of planning a wedding, yet the product was still exactly how we imagined it, and it felt like “us”— not a cookie cutter elopement package. We also rented the arch, and I sent her a picture of how we imagined it would look, and she made it happen. The day was smooth, the flowers were beautiful, the cake and champagne were delicious, our photos by Kellie Rae Studio still make us tear up and relive the day all over again, and Emily was a pleasure to work with. We cannot say enough good things about Emily and Lace and Brass Events. We are forever grateful for how perfect they made our special day!

n our centerpieces. Several people wanted to take them home! Thank you Lace and Brass on making our wedding beautiful!!

ything and she took the time to answer all of my questions and walk me through anything I was unsure about. The vendors that she works with are just as amazing as she is (the cake vendor was THE BEST) the wedding officiant she provided for us was so lovely and I felt so comfortable with her, the flowers were just stunning, and the photographer was bubbly, friendly, and completely in her element. Emilys overall demeanor and professionalism is unparalleled and I am so grateful for all her hard work and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services. I had the best wedding day, it was stress-free, and truly a dream come true-- this is all due to Emily and her team.

is professional and friendly, takes care of all of the details seamlessly, and truly loves what she does, making the whole experience wonderful from beginning to end!

r. Very communicative, considerate, and calm. I thought I would be nervous the day of but she made everything run so flawlessly, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She is AMAZING! Hands down one of the best wedding planners out there, we could not have asked for a more beautiful day! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Emily! You truly are the best!

y!

im and ended up finding her because of the services she offers. We needed something that was the real “all in one package”. She delivered on that and than some! She took our simple ideas and turned them into something magical and perfect. What’s even more perfect is when things came up she adapted! Didn’t matter if it was the change in venue and pulling things off in less then two weeks or when the my husband fainted after the “I do’s”. Or when our usual photographer for family photos couldn’t make it for the wedding— Emily was there!! She arranged for everything. I could never of asked for a better outcome. It didn’t matter that I didn’t meet her in person until moments before it all started. Between the emails and phone calls, she personalized everything just for me. No need to be a bridezilla! Emily’s got your back and makes everything you can image, possible. She’s the glue that made it all possible and go off without any crazy hitches! Lace and Brass Events will be my ‘go to’ when my children are old enough to marry in a few years. Pricing, quality, reliability and comfort was perfect.

ecommendations to helping come up with solutions when we procrastinated and thought we wouldn’t have the groom’s birth certificate, which is required in Wisconsin. Right through the day of when she makes sure everything is running on time and making sure the groom actually is getting dressed when he is supposed to. We were thrilled with how our tiny intimate ceremony went. All of our guests had a wonderful time in Bayfield and fell in love with the area just as we had. Emily has the vision to make both large, small, and elopement weddings a beautiful reality. She does so much to make sure the day is as stress free as possible, which is worth every cent.

n so smoothly with her being behind the scenes and helping with every task to create my vision for the day! I highly recommend Lace & Brass Events, best wedding purchase I made!

gotten we had, bringing up details and questions I wouldn’t have known to ask, and making sure every thing single detail was covered. She was prompt with every email return and phone call- like ridiculously so. We enjoyed the planning process. In her design element, Emily helped me articulate the overall vibe of the wedding to create a cohesive design that was exactly what I had imagined. She understood my ideas and then made suggestions that were always on point. There were no surprises on costs and when some rental items were too expensive she would find or buy alternatives that could create a similar look for less. To feel so confident in your coordinator walking into an potentially stressful day, is such a good feeling. I knew whatever unforeseen, out-of-our control issues that could come up would be dealt with swiftly and calmly and they were. It poured the morning of our day and we had planned on our walk through being outside. Without missing a beat, Emily had already timed the processional (in the rain) so we could practice in a different area. She’s also kind, grounded and easy to be with which makes her that much more incredible. She blew away our expectations for a designer and day-of- coordinator and did it with professionalism, ease, and a smile. Our day was perfect and everything we had imagined and hoped for and Emily was an enormous part in making that happen. We are so grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough.

for us in a time crunch! When we arrived everything was ready to go as planned. She recommends and hires only the utmost professional and talented people she knows. I would highly recommend her and her staff for any event!

menal job booking the officiant, florist and the photographer. Emily was even kind enough to look after our pup during our ceremony and photos, she is so kind hearted and truly cares for what her couples need on their special day. Thank you Emily for helping make our day so special and beautiful!

d her vendors (flowers, photography) were out of this world! Thank you Emily- we are so grateful!

married as fast as possible. We both knew we wanted something small and something surrounded by nature. Although we made the mistake of announcing our engagement we were extremely satisfied with how everything played out. Emily did a fantastic job supporting me over the short four months we had. Her emails always provided me with adequate information and were very precise. I never could have pulled this off by myself. She worked with all the vendors, from the floral shop, to the cake shop, the live music, the photographer and whomever else I may have missed. She did an amazing job. I gave her a few items such as my cake topper, my unity piece and some small decorations and she set them all up perfectly. But what really amazed me is when she saved my day by making a homemade 7' tall cross for me the week of my wedding. I thought I had that part taken care of on my own and it fell through at the last minute. She knew how important it was to me and out of the kindness of her own her she made sure I had one. I cannot thank this girl or recommend her enough to express my gratitude for everything she did for us. It was quite the adventure and I know I couldn't have done it without her. The day of my wedding she was so prepared and organized. She even had water for me when I said I was thirsty during photos! 😂

s. She was on top of things I had not even thought of and made me feel relaxed and at ease. On the day of the wedding Emily kept us organized and on time. She took the stress out of having a mini destination wedding. Thank you Emily for taking care of us on our day. It was perfect!

ll thanks to emily and lace and brass. Thank you for everything.

ofessional, timely, and super friendly! She was exactly what I needed as far as wedding planning. Instead of being overwhelmed by choosing vendors and researching pricing (especially for a wedding that was 6 hours away from where we live), Emily got a good vibe of our personalities after meeting us once and paired us with local vendors that would be a good fit for our style. The quality and professionalism of every vendor she booked for us was amazing. Everyone from the photographer, baker, florist, and caterer went above and beyond for us. They had all worked with Emily as well and raved about the beautiful work that she does. The package that she offered gave us so much value and took so much stress off our shoulders, I can’t imagine having done this alone. Emily was the glue during this whole process that kept everything together from picking the venue to executing the day of (and all of the road bumps in between). I can’t thank you enough for making our wedding even better than what we’d dreamt.

s there to back us up and had everything in order. Her day-of execution was top-notch. Our wedding had plenty of variables and lots of things to juggle, and every single one of the items was handled on our day. If we had to do it all over again there's not a single element we would've changed because all of our decisions were vetted through her. Our wedding was in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin with the reception at Turner Hall Ballroom.

DING BOARD," Emily and the team at Lace & Brass Events have your back. I was in a long-distance engagement, which meant my time was split between MA and WI. I knew planning a wedding (second marriage for us both, six kids in our blended family, a third of the guests all kids themselves) would have been hard if I was in WI full-time, and with the MA half of the equation, help was a necessity. But I didn't know what to expect from a wedding coordinator (my now-husband feared a loud, intrusive person with a megaphone and a clipboard). Enter Emily, the most down-to-earth, serene, grounded, thoughtful soul you may ever meet in the wedding business. And the thing is? It's not just "business" for Emily — besides her family, weddings are her passion and true love. She will work with you no matter WHAT your budget, no matter what you have in mind (sailboat elopement, anyone?), and she is more than happy to tailor her services to only what you need. So if you're a slightly DIY kind of person, no problem! Emily will let you DIY to your heart's content, then do the rest. She also has massive connections with all the vendors in the area (and great relationships with them all!) and if she doesn't know something, she's the quickest with "let me figure that out and get back to you ASAP!" Somehow, she worked with this very confused, very overwhelmed second-time-is-the-charm bride (and even won over the skeptical groom) to create a day that was...yes, dang it, I admit it: Pinterest-board worthy. When I said I had a country-picnic-but-kind-of-nautical-backyard-BBQ-but-elevated vibe in my mind, she somehow managed not to crack up in my face...and instead, worked tirelessly to figure out how to make that happen. AMAZING! The day of the wedding was utterly stress-free. There was a bouncy house for the kids, Emily's idea, and what a blast! Emily floated around like a magic fairy godmother in the background, keeping an eye on timeline and making sure everything was the laid-back, love-drenched hilarious kid-friendly blast we hoped for. She is an ultimate professional who loves her job and her clients — you can trust her with your most anxiety-provoking details and whims. She's got you! Don't hesitate if budget is a concern — she will help you research or organize your wedding wherever you get stuck. It's not a one-size-fits-all deal. We dealt with the ceremony to keep costs down, and she was waiting for us at the reception with tunes and food and drink waiting. She also did our flowers (gorgeous wildflowers from a local farm that she arranged beautifully!) and sewed us a bright pretty cotton flag bunting to hang in tent to fit the picnic vibe. You don't have to do this alone. Trust me! Hire Emily and the Lace & Brass team and know you are in great hands. Cheers!

ress-free as possible. On the day of, I had nothing to worry about. I would recommend her to anyone!

to utilize her, and we would recommend her to everyone! <3

s to just be able to have fun, and not have to worry about the little details of the day.
