Luna & Charlie Events

letting me enjoy myself. From vetting vendors to negotiating prices and everything in between, I trusted Emily’s knowledge and judgment. My husband and I literally had a blissful rehearsal dinner and wedding day because it was so easy to trust Emily to support us the whole way through. Everyone in my wedding party and family loved Emily because she was so focused and attentive but also fun to be around. I definitely recommend working with Emily at Luna & Charlie Events. She makes you feel like a VIP on your wedding day and will always go the extra mile for you!

ily and it was taken care of in a jiffy. I had absolutely no worries with her by my side that day. She made sure everything we could ever want happened. It was pure magic.

nce from initial planning all the way through to our 5-day wedding event was meticulously planned and thoughtfully executed. The level of attention, responsiveness and care while also "getting me" and anticipating all my thoughts, needs and questions was out of this world. Emily was able to take a vague concept and turn it into a magical, epic and truly memorable wedding. It was important to us to have a unique and one-of-a-kind non-traditional wedding while retaining the intimacy, romance and feeling of love that more traditional weddings invoke, and Luna & Charlie did just that. I can't recommend Emily and Luna & Charlie enough, particularly for truly bespoke weddings that highlight a couple's individuality. All our guests had the best time stating the entire 5-day wedding felt like "us" and a big warm hug!

y-of our big event. From the very beginning, Emily got to know us on a level that was important for her to capture the essence of our vision and our priorities. Her abilities as an event planner are nothing short of ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Our wedding turned out to be a STUNNING event. Before the big day, Emily sat down with us to discuss every detail; she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and our love story. Emily and her team are extremely detail-oriented, timely, organized, patient, and personable, so it was no surprise that Luna and Charlie did a fantastic job on the day of our wedding. Every detail was coordinated down to the minute. She explained the program Aisle Planner and made things so easy for us to stay organized—she even made a customized how-to guide so that we could easily upload information to the program ourselves as needed. Emily is extremely responsive via phone call and email and answered all of our questions regarding what we wanted, the contract, schedule, and last-minute changes on the day-of. She is so easy to work with and very accommodating. On the actual day of our wedding, she eased our nerves and sustained a sense of professionalism even when things got stressful. Throughout the wedding, she continued to check up on us, kept us on timeline, and ensured that we were being taken care of every step of the way. LOOK NO FURTHER THAN LUNA AND CHARLIE FOR YOUR NEXT BIG EVENT! Needless to say, the event turned out unbelievably beautiful and PERFECT. Overall, we could not have been more pleased with the outcome—our wedding was an absolute DREAM! I would enthusiastically recommend Emily Bonenfant and Luna and Charlie for your wedding or event. Book her now!

planner. Emily helped us find our wonderful vendors (that we never could have found on our own) and then seamlessly transitioned them from our postponed 2020 wedding to our 2021 wedding day. She curated a stunning mood board, bringing together all the random ideas we had into one cohesive, beautiful event. On the day of the wedding, Emily and her team took care of all the details, helping the day transition beautifully and always made sure we were taken care of :) Emily is an expert in her field and we truly cannot thank her enough for creating our perfect wedding. We could not have done it without her. If you are looking for a professional, kind, and extremely talented wedding planner, look no further than Emily of Luna & Charlie! We love you Emily!

to our families in Hartford, CT. We had 4 months to plan an 80-person DIY wedding from thousands of miles away, and with a challenging venue that did not have wedding experience. Emily put us at ease from Day 1 -- she helped get us organized and on-track, she navigated all of those tough vendor situations for us, and most of all, she made us feel so special and wanted to us to be able to enjoy the whole process. The actual day could not have gone smoother. We are so thrilled with how everything unfolded and cannot thank Luna & Charlie enough!

cticut and given her relationships and location she could do things that Susan and I could not do from Dallas. After completely planning and paying 75% for the event, the Connecticut Wedding had to be cancelled due to COVID. Incredibly long story but at Emily’s suggestion we had bought event insurance which was the only reason there was a second planned wedding. The 2nd wedding was in Dallas. Emily, given her location, not so important in running a Dallas event. However, she was so crucial to the Connecticut wedding we hired her again to do the Dallas wedding. She claimed she had contacts in Dallas, etc. which she did but it did not matter she did such a great job in Connecticut we knew she could handle anything and we all liked her so much we said “sure” and hired her for a second time. I don’t know what you get from hiring a $15-$30-thousand-dollar wedding planner out of NY that we did not get from Emily. She was perfect, she organized and executed on everything. She cost about 4.5% of the cost of the total wedding and while I would never had agreed to pay more prior to the wedding for a planner, in hindsight, her fees were very modest for the services she performed. I considered her services delivered at a bargain price compared to some of the other vendors. Emily is too good for her industry; it must be a labor of love for her because I don’t think she does it for the money. If you have the chance hire her immediately for your child’s wedding. DO IT! If she can navigate two Pandemic Wedding(s) and still be praised by her clients she’s got to be doing something right. BTW, we had 100 people at our wedding and only 4 guests contracted COVID the following week, not exactly a Super Spreader Event due to Emily’s planning. She’s more than worth it.

trictions in the northeast. This was a wedding Emily had been working on for two years, through all the changes and challenges that came with the pandemic (including three reschedules and two different venues!), and the results of her patient and tireless work were BEYOND stunning. Her designs for all three weekend events - the rehearsal dinner, the wedding itself, and the farewell party - came together beautifully, and it was so clear that these clients trusted her 100%. She anticipated every need and kept everyone on-track through what would have otherwise been a very complex day with tons of moving parts. Her calm demeanor, sense of humor, and confidence made her practically part of the family, and every guest we spoke to had nothing but compliments to share - including a few who said that this was the best wedding they'd ever attended! Overall, Emily was so wonderful to work with - both from the client side, clearly, and from the vendor side - and anyone would be lucky to have her as their planner. She's truly amazing at what she does!!!

ly, we told her that we were hoping to plan our wedding in six weeks and she confidently told us that it would be possible. In the end, our wedding day turned out to be better than we could have imagined and we could not have done it without her. We were somewhat specific in what we wanted for our wedding. For example, it was a Catholic ceremony, a reception outdoors on a farm, farm-to-table food, vintage furniture and plates, and particular wedding invitations and live music as well as specific photographers and flower arrangements. With all of her connections to vendors, Emily was able to pinpoint places that could give us what we wanted while still staying within our budget. She was able to assess the type of people that we are, with our particular tastes, and offer us choices that fit what we were looking for. While there was still a lot of work on our end to set up guest lists and ensure that appointments were made, Emily was able to take much of what we wanted, have it organized, and arranged to have it set up on the day of the wedding while giving us so much guidance and support in the process. We are so grateful for the wedding day that we had and we highly recommend Emily as a wedding planner.

day), so in came Emily! She truly made my daughters wedding a day to remember, for the bride and groom and for my husband and I. We felt taken care of and were truly able to enjoy the day because Emily took care of EVERYTHING! She had wonderful ideas, was incredible easy to work with and was a complete PRO!! She's a wonderful person and I truly say she saved our day, and made it the most wonderful wedding I've ever been too!! Don't think twice about hiring her!

to mention, she has the patience of a saint. She navigated scheduling, rescheduling, communicating with new venues and vendors, organized visits, attended every vendor meeting, and above all ran everything perfectly the day of. As a 2020 bride, like so many others, all of our plans were flipped upside down. My photographer recommended I reach out to Emily, I am so happy that I did. Emily was able to make me feel excited again about my wedding after our first phone consultation. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Emily, she so much more than a planner.....(at times my very own therapist ha!) I would recommend her and trust her with anything. Our family members were so blown away by all that she did we cannot wait to work with her again for our large event this upcoming fall!

ent wedding after pandemic restrictions greatly altered our original plans. Emily made me feel comfortable and empowered with making decisions throughout the process. She saw my vision and made it come to life. My wedding was a dream and I owe it to her! Thank you Emily, would recommend her services to everyone!!

When things changed on the day, she would update me. She asked my advice and checked with me before changing lighting at the reception. She truly cares about her couples and she has a lot of fun with what she does, while also being super organized and on top of everything. That's a combination that's hard to come by, and it's essential for weddings. I wish I could have her with me at every wedding!

o step back and let the young couple's vision of their wedding prevail. The feedback from our guests included the words "flawless" and "seamless", which reflected our experience with Emily perfectly well. We could not recommend her more highly.

edding. She is warm caring loving efficient thorough punctual and any other accolade you could think of. She made everybody relaxed and she was kind and gentle to every vendor as well as my daughter,the bride and myself. She is so organized and so efficient and beyond being on top of things she was ahead of things. She anticipated and planned and she did it with a smile and a” I will take care of that”. You cannot go wrong with this event planner. She is truly one of a kind and if you are able to hire her count yourself among the luckiest . I even think she is a true bargain.

hing so I could enjoy myself. And I did!! I would highly recommend her as she is very professional and made the whole evening go off without a hitch. They also had a lage wedding party and so lots of peoeple to organize and she handled everyone masterfully. Emily helped to create a wonderful tone of fun and organization. She is the best!

lie staff organizing, directing, and making everything run smoothly from the "getting ready" locations to the church to the cocktail hour and reception. If we didn't have Emily's expertise and composure, our wedding wouldn't have been as amazing and beautiful as it was. We highly recommend Luna and Charlie Events for the most important day of your life because they made our most important day so effortless and memorable.

nitely use Emily again for another event!!

e imagined. She knew exactly the style I was going for, which made me feel like I was in the good hands of somebody who just got who I was and what I wanted. I am pretty indecisive, to say the least, and was constantly going back and forth between things I wanted and didn't, but she hung in there and made adjustments with no complaints. She was always available to talk in person, by phone, email, or text and always made me feel like a priority. Our venue had newly opened, had no built in vendors and had a complicated lay out, as our entire wedding was in 3 different locations. I was so overwhelmed by the thought of organizing the event, but Emily helped me keep a level head and made each task manageable. Even though she just started her own business recently, she has had years of experience in the event planning business, which really showed by her extensive connections with various vendors. She was able to give us a wide variety of vendors to choose from and always kept our budget in mind. She handled all of our difficult vendors with finesse and made sure we got everything we wanted. On the day of, I was completely at ease because I knew she had everything under control. I don't think there was a single issue that came up, and if there was, I was not made aware. She was so calm and collected the whole night, but don't let her sweet personality fool you, because that girl gets things done! I kept telling my husband that if I didn't marry him, I was going to marry Emily because she truly is an incredible person and wedding planner. She truly made our wedding day the best day ever.

s event like none other. I’d highly recommend Emily and her team to anyone looking for event planning or day of coordination. She will plan and manage your event like it was her own. Simply amazing!!

e the process feel simple and achievable. She took on a great deal of communication and coordination with vendors so that my wife and I didn't have to. She provided timelines and gave us small, achievable steps to take to get to our big day. Emily was patient, accommodated our schedules, and REALLY took the time to get to understand us, our concerns, and helped us develop a vision for our day. Her work ethic and care for every detail of a wedding are impeccable! The end result was a truly amazing and beautiful day that flowed SEAMLESSLY. Emily addressed any and all guest questions/concerns so that my wife and I could focus on enjoying our day. We cannot say enough good things about Emily and highly recommend her.
