Working with Emily Burke was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first meeting, she brought warmth, professionalism, and a calming presence that made t...
he entire planning process feel effortless. Her attention to detail was impeccable—every flower, every table setting, every timeline was executed flawlessly.
She truly listened to our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Whether it was coordinating with vendors, managing last-minute changes, or keeping everything running smoothly on the big day, Emily and her team handled it all with grace and precision. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and seamless everything was!
If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding unforgettable, look no further. Emily is a true gem, and we are endlessly grateful for her dedication and talent.
Emily and the Water & Wine VA team were absolutely incredible to work with. We contracted Emily for Wedding Coordination for our August 2025 wedding, and she truly went above and b...
eyond from the moment we met her. Leading up to our event she answered my a million questions, offered great advice on vendors and how to approach certain aspects of our day, and quickly and proactively stepped in to organize our vendors with the timeline for our day. She also met with us early on to hear about our vision and get to know us to help craft the perfect timeline. This meeting made me feel even more confident and like I had made a great new friend! The week before our event, she was on top of everything and met with us again to make sure we were all on the same page and to answer last minute questions and concerns. On our wedding weekend, Emily and Emily took over everything and made me feel so confident that it would all be perfect. They did everything from organizing and coordinating all our vendors, picking up donuts for our event, leading the rehearsal efficiently, corralling our bridal party and families, handled the decor and favors we had brought, and most importantly - helped make sure that everything went smoothly and that I didn't have to worry. And to top it all off - she was able to share some great pics she had taken the next day that really helped us to relive everything! I truly cannot say enough good things about Emily and her team. Her general enthusiasm to make our wedding great, her extreme competence, and her ability to be unfazed and quickly handle anything that came up truly stood out. We would highly recommend Emily and her team for your wedding!
Emily was incredible! She made us feel so safe and heard throughout the entire planning process and on wedding day. I can’t imagine the day without her.
We are so incredibly thankful we chose Emily and her team at Water & Wine VA for her wedding coordination service on our wedding day at Dover Hall!!

dustry and know first-hand how important it is to have a vendor team who brings amazing energy on the wedding day, and Emily and her team did just that! They knew all the ins & outs of our venue and how to save money and where to spend which meant so much especially when it came to our wedding budget! We loved every call with Emily prior to our big day and felt so calm and excited knowing all of our questions were answered and she felt no stress on her end!
As a bride and groom, we were never once stressed out over details and when the décor and everything was setup we were so incredibly excited to see our vision come to life. Everything ran on schedule, there was no pressure to get to the next thing, and we were so relaxed and truly were able to enjoy our day because we knew everything was being handled. Our guests felt the same way too!!
I wish we could work with Emily and her team at a wedding again, booking her was on the of the best decisions we made and her years of experience in the industry truly shows!
Emily made our wedding not only possible, but beyond perfect! Her team made everything feel so seamless - and if it wasn't, we would never know. I'm so type B and probably a weddin...
g coordinator's worst nightmare. But Emily and Kate handled anything that was thrown their way and were SO MUCH FUN to work with. Truly, an incredible team. I couldn't possibly recommend Water & Wine VA more!
My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily and her team. Water and Wine are not only exceptional at what they do but they are wonderful people to be around. Em...
ily is a very personable person with a bubbly yet calming personality. From our first interaction to our wedding day, Emily took the time to understand our vision and ensure every detail was addressed. She handled everything with our vendors, ensured the timeline was perfect, seating charts and layout were set, décor and signage were setup correctly, managed our timing for everything on our wedding day wonderfully, and more. When looking for a wedding planner, it is essential they have the necessary skills, such as being responsive and communicative to you and your vendors, have attention to detail, be able to listen to your concerns and wishes, and organize everything effectively to have a successful wedding day. Emily and her team excelled at all those things and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. However, what sets Emily and her team apart from all the other wedding planners out there is that they genuinely care about the relationships they build with those they meet. They are incredibly passionate about what they do and understand that a couple’s wedding is one of the most emotionally significant days of their lives. Water and Wine will bring your vision to life and ensure you and your husband enjoy your special day. It was a pleasure to share our wedding day with Emily and her assistant (also Emily), we really couldn’t have asked for a better team. We would recommend Water & Wine to anyone!

I don’t even know where to begin. Hiring a day of wedding coordinator was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Our wedding day would not have been as amazing as it ...
was without Emily and her team. Prior to our wedding day Emily met with us to discuss our timeline and was constantly adjusting the timeline based off our needs. Just some of the many things she did that made us feel at ease included spoking with each vendor, made sure all necessary forms were filled out and when we had a hard time reaching a vendor, she made it her mission to get them to respond.
She worked tirelessly to make our dream wedding come to life and she was accessible and responsive throughout the entire process. She recommended vendors that she trusted, coordinated with all of my vendors on the day of so that things would run smoothly, and executed every detail to perfection.
She went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly. I later found out there were hiccups that Emily quickly resolved and never mentioned so I wouldn’t stress! Emily and her team were beyond good to us.
Workin with Water and Wine VA was such a delight! Met every exceptions and the very reasonable priced as well!
These are just a few reasons to hire Emily and her team! JUST DO IT!!
I am SO thankful we had Emily and her team to help with planning and coordination for our big day! First, she was SO supportive and flexible when we had to reschedule due to Covid ...

Emily is so personable, bubbly, and easy to work with! We hired her for event designing and day of coordination at Adaline Acres for our 10/10/2020. With COVID, we were going back...
and forth about whether to postpone or cancel and she helped us process and rehash multiple times. She helped us with figuring out details, timeline, and made sure we made it down the aisle! It was a very wet, rainy day but Emily and her assistant made things happen. They were flexible, direct, and formulated a plan B on a whim. I personally did not have a rainy day plan because we literally only planned for an outdoor wedding/reception because of COVID. However, she made it happen and everything was flawless and seamless. She got a 30-person wedding party down the aisle, got all the guests out of the building on time, and broke down our wedding into vehicles all in the same night.
We have nothing but incredible things to say about Emily! Emily served as our wedding coordinator and I truly do not know how we wouldve pulled off our wedding without her. Your w...
edding weekend is so busy without having to stress about little details, and knowing Emily was handling all of it allowed us to breathe and fully enjoy our wedding day. She created our wedding timeline by focusing on the aspects of our wedding that we cared about most, she handled some of our more challenging groomsmen and wedding guests so impressively well, and her and her team set up our reception tables and decor miles above what I had envisioned. When rescheduling for coronavirus concerns, she was reassuring and always a step ahead of all of the considerations that come along with moving a wedding. My only regret is not hiring her to plan our full wedding. Having Emily and her team as a part of your day is something you will not regret!
Working with Emily is so enjoyable! She puts together the most beautiful tablescapes and stays SO calm under pressure. She is very talented at what she does, and she has the kindes...

sweetest person! Leading up to the wedding I didn’t stress at all thanks to Emily! My wedding day ran so smooth, and I found out later there were kinks that had to be worked out by Emily and Mary that were solved without any knowledge to me! I can not recommend Water and Wine enough! I will definitely be using Emily for all future events!
