I can’t say enough wonderful things about Emily! From the moment we met, she felt like a friend who was just as excited about our wedding as we were. Her creativity and attention to detail brought our vision to life in the most magical way! Emily was always there with a smile, ready to answer our questions and help us navigate the planning process. On the big day, everything was perfectly coordinated, and we could just relax and enjoy the moment. If you’re looking for someone who will sprinkle a little extra love into your wedding planning, Emily is the one! We’re so grateful for her hard work and dedication!
From our first meeting together, we knew Emily was the planner for us! Her connections, experience and her attention to detail are top notch! Our day was everything we ever imagined and more. On our wedding day, Kentucky quite literally had hurricane weather. Emily quickly pivoted and listened to our ideas while keeping our wants for our day as the top priority. Overall, it was the best day ever! A huge part of it being such a dream come true is thanks to Emily and her team.
Emily is a pleasure to work with,loves her clients and a total professional. I know our couples are in the best of hands when they have Emily, Simply Sharp Events, as part of their wedding dream team!
To say that we are beyond thankful for finding Emily to be apart of our big day would be an understatement. She helped us navigate our wedding in Bowling Green, KY while we lived 3 hours away, and continuously sent us suggestions for different vendors. We appreciated how straight forward she was, and her candidacy. Our day truly wouldn't have gone as smooth and stress free if it wasn't for her hard work. We highly recommend Emily at Simply Sharp Events.
Emily is truly one of the most patient, kind, and respectful event planners I’ve ever worked with. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is exactly the way it needs to be.
I’ve worked with Simply Sharp professionally and all I can say is wow. Emily is thorough, professional, and overall just wonderful. Emily goes above and beyond for her clients and makes sure every detail is perfect. Highly recommend Simply Sharp to help with your event, big or small! You won’t regret it.
Our day couldn’t have gone better all because of Emily! Emily goes the extra mile for her clients, answering every question and dealing with any issues that arise with ease. She worked flawlessly with all of our vendors to ensure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Simply Sharp for all of your event needs.
Emily was the perfect match to make our wedding an absolute dream come true! She is energetic, creative, extremely patient, and most of all she loves what she does and makes it a point to surround herself with other vendors that share her same energy. So many of our vendors came from her rolodex. I knew nothing about planning a wedding so without Emily a lot of parts of our day would not have come to life and I constantly relied on her design recommendations that always turned out beautifully! Could not recommend her more. She made the process feel effortless and truly felt like a friend when helping us plan our wedding!!
Emily is an outstanding and professional individual. She will go the extra mile and walk with you through your wedding planning from start to finish. You could see all of Emily’s hard work behind the scenes come to fruition on our Big Day. As an out of town bride (located in TX), Emily made sure that I felt just as important as her in town clients and went above and beyond searching and picking the correct vendors for me. If you are unsure whether or not to hire a planner, this is your sign to “pull the trigger” and hire Emily. My highest recommendation.
Simply Sharp Events has been an absolute heaven-send for us & we couldn’t recommend them more for your wedding planning needs! We worked alongside Kristen the whole time & Emily was also a big help! My husband & I keep reflecting on the day & how smoothly it went thanks to Kristen & her assistant Elijah. (:
I felt we had a sufficient number of meet-ups & phone calls to plan together, & she was also so good at just being a text or call away if we had any questions, & trust me… I had a million. But Kristen was always patient & understanding with us & we truly have SSE to thank for creating such a magical day for all of us!
I am a wedding venue owner and have worked with Emily several times now. Emily is so thorough and makes sure she knows what the venue expectations are but never compromises what the couple want as well. That can be a hard thing to do but Emily does it with ease and she never gets overwhelmed or off track. She is so great to work with I always look forward to having her at our venue. As a wedding couple you will be getting one of the best wedding planners I've had the pleasure of working with!
I cannot recommend Emily Sharp enough as a wedding planner! She truly made my dream wedding a reality. From the initial consultation to the big day, Emily was organized, creative, and attentive to every detail. Her professionalism and positive attitude put me at ease throughout the entire planning process. Emily's expertise and vendor connections helped bring my vision to life, and the end result was beyond my wildest dreams. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect, look no further than Emily Sharp!
If you have no idea where to begin with planning your wedding, I have one word for you: EMILY. Emily took my wedding from being just an idea to executing the backyard wedding of my dreams. I booked the full service package with her, and within 48 hours of our first phone call, she had already scheduled a caterer tasting, obtained quotes from florists, mapped out the venue structure, set up 2 hotel blocks, and connected me with my hair/makeup artist. She set the bar extremely high from the beginning, and it never came down. Emily thought of details I didn't even know needed planning - Who will wash the dishes? Where will the restrooms go? How will parking work? When do I need to send out invites? She helped me every step of the way. She has the quickest response time of any person I've ever known, immediately answering any and every question I had. She made me feel like I was her sole focus, and she cared just as much about the beauty of the day as I did. When you have a backyard wedding, you essentially build a venue from scratch. From day 1, Emily was ready for the challenge, and she carried her optimism and flexibility throughout the entire experience, even when we had to put up tents at the last minute due to rain. She remained positive, professional, and punctual. Every vendor in town loves her. She found our DJ, photo booth vendor, signage printer, caterer, rental company, portable restrooms, and bread maker (yes, she even found me a person who makes fresh sourdough per request!). She constantly searched the internet for deals and creative ideas that I could implement. I haven't stopped talking about my wedding since it happened, and I probably never will. What I initially dreaded planning, Emily turned into the world's most magical event, and now I'm so sad that it's over! She has become like family to us. Emily picked me up and saved me 100 times throughout the whole process, and I am so overjoyed that we got to experience it all with her. THANK YOUUUUU to Simply Sharp Events for making every one of my dreams come true!!!!! I could write so much more!
Booking Emily with Simply Sharp Events to help plan our wedding was the best decision I could have made! Our wedding was in Bowling Green, KY, and we were planning our wedding from out of town and were unfamiliar with the area. Emily saved us so much time and effort with her knowledge and connections to vendors in the area. Throughout the entire process, Emily was easy to communicate with, quickly responded to any questions we had, and was flexible with planning meetings around our busy schedules. From the beginning, I felt that Emily prioritized our happiness and helped create and fulfill the vision we had for our wedding. Emily listened to any concerns we had and worked to find appropriate vendors that fit our needs and found solutions to any problems that arose. We were new to the wedding planning process, and I felt that Emily did a great job with explaining timelines, budgets, and planning details that we would have never thought of on our own.
While we had a general idea of what we wanted our wedding to look and feel like, I was looking for a wedding planner that could refine and expand on our ideas. Emily exceeded our expectations on this, and she helped execute the most beautiful, fun, and smooth running wedding day that we could have imagined. We had many guests compliment us on the decor and setup within the venue, and to this I give full credit to Emily. While I feel that our wedding turned out as wonderfully as it did because the planning process was a truly collaborative effort, Emily always made it clear that our wants for the wedding were the priority.
On the day of the wedding, Emily also made us as the bride and groom feel special and prioritized. We were able to enjoy our wedding to the fullest because Emily made it clear that she would take care of any problems that arose. We loved Emily's idea of a private dinner for us in between the ceremony and first dance, and she hand delivered the food and drinks to our private area. Throughout the rest of the night, Emily checked on us to make sure we had everything we wanted from drinks and food to dance floor pictures. Emily was extremely organized and skilled at not only the wedding planning process, but in executing a smooth and stress-free wedding day.
Emily is personable, timely, creative, budget-conscious, and extremely effective in her role as a wedding planner and coordinator. I had a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend Emily at Simply Sharp Events as a wedding planner for any bride!
Kristen is amazing! She was a key part in the planning and day of the wedding. Wedding Day was a Breeze for me because she took care of everything. Simply Sharp Events is definitely a must if you’re thinking about hiring coordinator.
She is absolutely the best at organization, communication making sure everything is done. Not a worry in the world that we have on the wedding day.
I was hesitant to hire a coordinator at first but I am so relieved I did. Emily handled everything with such ease. She made us feel so special through the entire process and brought us so much peace for our big day. She constantly checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed to make the day perfect. Emily is much more than a wedding coordinator/planner. She wears so many hats and she even wore the hat of a friend 💕 I can’t sing her praises enough. Thank you, Emily.
Kristen was absolutely amazing! She helped us plan everything made sure everything was perfect for my husband and I’s big day! She made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right times and did not hesitate to speak up when needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better day thank you so much Kristen for all you did!

Emily is the best! Our wedding would not have happened if it wasn’t for her hard work and dedication to making everything perfect. She went above and beyond expectations. From keeping us on track during the different phases of planning, to suggesting vendors that we would not have found otherwise, to keeping us within a reasonable budget, she excelled. We love how genuinely happy and loving she is and couldn’t think of a better person to call.
My wedding day was beyond spectacular because of this girl! She recommended top notch vendors that exceeded my expectations and had the day running perfectly smooth. I could not have done this without Simply Sharp Events! Not to mention my whole family loved her and her personality! They recognized her passion and knew this wedding was in the right hands. Let’s do this again next weekend okay?
Emily was recommended to us by a mutual friend when I started looking for a planner 3 months before our wedding. We’d had to reschedule our wedding several times due to Covid, and when we connected with Emily we had our venue (on site catering), photographer and a very specific vision for our centerpieces and decor that was, quite frankly, a lot to ask for on such short notice. Emily made it all happen. Our wedding day was everything we had envisioned and more. In addition to moving mountains to make our vision a reality, she is super organized, has great connections, and will do endless amounts of research to find the best vendors for your needs! I didn’t stress at all the day of knowing she was taking care of everything. We can’t recommend her enough!!!
Emily was fantastic!! I hired her as a day of coordinator but she went above and beyond helping me not just the day of but leading up months before. She was always easy to reach if I had any questions, and always touched in to remind me of the small details that I would’ve missed if she wouldn’t have been apart of my planning process. If you’re thinking of hiring Emily Sharp as your wedding coordinator, DO IT!!! Trust me you won’t regret it!
There are so many amazing things I can say about Emily. She was an amazing wedding coordinator and went so above and beyond on everything. The whole process with Emily was so painless and easy. She gets right into it when you have a wedding date to start planning your wedding. I had no vision for my wedding what’s so ever and Emily started throwing out suggestions and showing me ideas to help me get an idea of how I wanted my wedding. She has sooo many vendor connections and helped so much with getting the right vendors for my wedding. I was not stressed once during this whole process and I owe that all to Emily. Like I said she is truly an amazing coordinator and I couldn’t have asked for anything more!!
I was hesitant on hiring a wedding coordinator simply because I was trying to stay within a certain budget. When it came time to plan, and get everything together, I knew I needed help. That’s when I contacted Emily. She has been SO helpful and brought my vision to life. She made us so easy to where I could focus on other things. I recommend a wedding coordinator but I 1000000% recommend Emily! She’s so sweet, funny, and gets the job done!
Emily was such an integral part of our wedding day, we absolutely couldn’t have pulled it off without her! We got married at Lost River Cave, which is a venue with specific policies about set up timing, car restrictions, etc which led us to find a day of coordinator. We are SO happy we found Emily! In the planning stages she created a great timeline, reviewed vendor contracts, communicated changes and timing with vendors, answered any questions I could throw at her and gave great suggestions that would make life easier on wedding day. Day of - she was incredible, Emily and her assistant coordinated all set up, vendors, scheduling, truly everything! We got several comments from family and friends on how much they enjoyed having Emily around, and how well the wedding flowed. She put in 17 hours to ensure from the first delivery to the last bit of clean up that we were taken care of. Emily is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner or coordinator!!
I cannot overstate how vital Emily and her team were to our wedding. She is everything and more you could ever ask for in an event coordinator, well-connected, competent, approachable, commanding, and most of all a great dancer.
The peace-of-mind we had going into our wedding and during our event was almost completely due to Emily. She gave us the space we needed to enjoy our big day and spend meaningful time with our loved ones. I'd give her infinite stars if I could.
Absolutely cannot recommend Emily enough. Would give more than 5 stars if we could. We were looking for someone to just simply set up for morning of the wedding and by booking day of coordination with Emily we got so much more. Emily helped review contracts and arrange all vendor arrival times, ensured every person - vendors and wedding party- had all of the details they needed, gave me a checklist, instructions, details for anything I had asked, was incredibly responsive and so much more. Emily is very clearly well connected to other vendors you need in the area and gave us great recommendations when our hair and make up vendor fell through. Beyond having amazing knowledge of the industry and being incredibly professional, Emily was amazing to work with - so bubbly, cheerful, personable. We got many compliments on Emily during our day of as she was a critical resource in ensuring our day went so smoothly. Every guest she had interacted with had something amazing to say about her, especially our guest who had an allergy to our cake and she remembered to go personally tell them not to eat it in the midst of a chaotic. If any issues arose day of, my now husband and I had no idea. Emily is incredibly resourceful and solved all of the problems without issue or needing to involve us. Our day was amazing and Emily was a huge part of that. You will not regret hiring her for her top notch skills and dance moves.
I really couldn’t have pulled off my wedding without Emily. She made the whole experience fun and stress free, without missing a single detail. She handled every curve ball I threw at her and made sure that everything ran smoothly from the time we met to the day itself. I heard the phrase “everyone needs an Emily” from family and friends probably 1,000 times. I highly recommend her!!
Emily Sharp was my ABSOLUTE favorite vendor and continues to be my biggest recommendation for wedding planning hands down. She was the backbone of my wedding. She was my bestfriend throughout the planning process and day of… She is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet and always has your best interest in mind. I physically and mentally could not of had my wonderful wedding without her. I cannot thank her enough for all she did. She kept me sane and happy. She made all my wedding visions come true. She even handled my florals, music, and food setup. She is more than just your typical coordinator. She is extremely worth it. You won’t regret it. Please book this talented lady. I wish I could have another event just to experience working with her again. Her husband was so helpful as well! The precious moments I remember from my wedding are because of her. 👏🏼👏🏼
She is extremely incredible and amazing. I can’t say enough good things about her. Please invest in Simply Sharp Events.
Emily is the best event planner/coordinator in South Central, KY! She made the experience for my husband and I very enjoyable and less stressful. She always had answers to any questions we had, very attentive, and very supportive. We couldn’t recommend her enough!
Emily is AMAZING! Stayed is close contact every step of the way. Her suggestions for even the smallest details made everything perfect. Without her it would not have been the wedding my daughter dreamed of. It was like working with a good friend that gets you!
Emily was my day-of wedding coordinator. When we first met, I knew that she would do a fantastic job. On my wedding day, I was able to enjoy myself and not worry about a thing!
