We found With Great Love last year in the throws of wedding planning. I am pretty type A, and my husband is "do-er", so naively we thought we could accomplish planning a wedding on our own - and oh were we in over our heads! We had booked the "big stuff", but we were still feeling overwhelmed. After reading through tons of other planner pages, we set up a phone call and WGL felt like the right fit. Emily was so warm yet professional, organized, and even had experience with Catholic weddings (which was a must for us) we decided to book the partial wedding planning package. It was the BEST DECISION we made when it came to wedding planning. She was there every single step of the way, from the moment she stepped in. From taking over communication with vendors already booked, to navigating contracts, setting up meetings, guidance on booking remaining vendors, and simply assisting with every single detail in between. You don't know what you don't know, and there is a lot we found out that we didn't know about wedding planning, but luckily Emily is an expert. She was patient, kind, and supportive through every decision, plan pivot, design change, and "what if" question we had. I can't recommend WGL events enough. I could go on all day about how great Emily and her team are, but let me leave you with this.. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives- and that would not have been possible without Emily. She focused on the timeline, the vendors, and everything else involving logistics of the day so that we, my husband I, could focus on each other, and out loved ones. That's how your wedding day should be- Filled with an immense amount of Great Love. That is what Emily and her team are all about. Our day was nothing short of an absolute dream. And now, 5 months later, My husband and I joke over and over we should get married again and again. That is how special our day was - and it just simply wouldn't have been possible without Emily. We will forever be grateful for the role WGL played in our big day and the start to our life together!

Thank you so much for your review! We had an incredible time at your wedding and we're so happy we could bring your dreams to reality!
We loved Emily! I am a wedding vendor myself and I knew having a planner was a top priority. Let me just say, Emily was worth every penny! She’s priced at what she is for a reason. She is there every step of the way and handled so much for me. I swear she saved my sanity during my wedding planning. She was gentle, kind, and compassionate all while being a boss and getting it done. Never did she fail me! Her husband also brought my seating chart vision to life. Between them two, I will rave about them all the time! Seriously, just pay Emily and your wedding will be nothing short of smooth.
Emily & With Great Love was recommended to me as soon as I got engaged. Emily immediately scheduled a phone call and I knew right away she was gonna be my right hand woman for the next 9 months. She was exactly what I needed during the wedding planning process. She never let me get overwhelmed because she was already on top of things. She was the perfect blend of being organized and kept me on track but never pushy. She listened, gave suggestions, inspiration, mentorships, wisdom, and most of all friendship. She would even reply to my 500 texts that I would send her sometimes in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep (oops). She went above and beyond on what was expected and my wedding day was truly the best day of my entire life that is in big part to Emily. Sometimes I even thought she was a mind reader. WGL didn't have a limit of how many times we could schedule calls, texts and meetings unlike some other coordinators (which is great because I probably texted her everyday for 9 months) I would choose With Great Love time and time again if I could and will recommend WGL to everyone!

Any questions?
My husband and I would not have survived planning our daughter's wedding without Emily. The moment we started to experience how over whelming planning a wedding can be, we decided to hire a planner, and it was well worth it! Anything we asked of her was taken care of quickly and promptly and we did not worry about anything. She was always available to answer questions and she was a great resource for all things wedding! When we arrived at the venue everything was done. It was the best money we have ever spent! We highly recommend With Great Love, they are professional, supportive, and one step ahead which is what we needed. Emily is amazing!

Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy we could make your dreams a reality!
Emily was wonderful to work with! I was looking for organizational assistance and day of coordination and she provided it all. She is highly organized and very responsible to any questions that come up. She was pleasant and calm during the entire event and I had no fears that our event was being set up while I spent the day with my daughter. It was great!

Thank you so much for your kindness! I'm so happy we were part of Caroline's beautiful day!
Emily really was a wonderful resource and person to have around while planning my wedding. She was kind, responsive, sociable, and respectful to myself, friends, and family. If you want someone to go above and beyond for you, thinks of the little things, and always be on your side, Emily is the event coordinator for you!

Thank you so much for your kindness! You and Russell were a blast to celebrate with!
I can’t say enough good things about Emily! She was invaluable to us. She is so professional and personable. Her creativity and attention to detail are amazing. She was great to work with and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! I asked my husband to include her in his thank you speech because she deserves all the recognition for her hard work! I’m so grateful we found you Emily. Hiring you was the single best decision we made! Thank you for everything.

Thank you so much for your kind words about our service! You and Tim were such a joy to plan with and I wish you a lifetime of happiness in the years to come!!
We would give Emily 7/5 starts if we could. At first we thought we could handle our ~small~ wedding by ourselves, but we quickly found out we needed help. Emily came to the rescue and helped us coordinate, plan, budget, get vendor deals and make us consider factors that we wouldn't have thought about in a million years. She also made sure everything was on track and stayed on top of everybody's responsibilities. Thank you again for everything!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words about our service! You and Gabe were such a joy to plan with and I wish you a lifetime of happiness in the years to come!!
With Great Love helped plan our baby shower for our first son. Emily provided a seamless experience, included many personal touches and was very easy to communicate with through the process. She really takes the time to understand what the couple is looking for. I would recommend her for any planning and organization events.

Emily was so helpful in helping me plan our wedding and stay on track! With a 4 month timeline and working a full time job, I knew I would need an extra hand to stay focused and get everything done in planning a wedding for 250 guests. Emily was thorough and detail oriented in researching vendors for me and assisting in interviewing top choices, as well as keeping track of to do's as they came up. Her frequent and open communications eased my concerns about making sure nothing was lost in the weeds. On the day of the wedding, Emily helped keep everyone on track amongst a few different venues throughout the day, and handled all the communications/questions that came up so that i could focus on just enjoying the day and getting married! I even asked her to save me a piece of cake at the end of the night and she had made plate ready for me so i wouldn't have to miss out in the midst of a busy day!

Thank you so much for your kind words about our service! It was such an honor to be part of your day!!
I attended a wedding that was planned with the assistance of With Great Love, and this company enabled the bride to thrive, and have the best time of her life without having to lift a finger. Emily is so passionate about wedding planning, and wants all her bride- to bes to feel like the luckiest and most beautiful woman on her wedding day. Emily does that and just more, and won’t lead you astray. Put your faith in Emily, and watch her work her magic! 🌟 💫

Thank you so much for your kind words about our service!
With Great Love is responsive, innovative, and makes things simplistic. The experience that I've had with the owner has been wonderful. Not only do they make things easy, but they are a faith based company. If that's important, choose them. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. I've not only been able to use With Great Love, but I've seen them work at other weddings. They go above and beyond! They're detailed oriented and make things extra special. The last minute finishing tasks that you would be rushing to complete, they already have them done and it brings a since of peace over everything. The owner is time oriented, communicates well, and will have everything planned down to the minute.

I love the details and love stories that make each wedding unique, and I'm here to make it an enjoyable experience for you and your partner.
