“Bright, Cheery, and Sassy are words that describe Emily’s event style to a T! She brings all of her enthusiasm to the table when planning her client’s weddings.
Her style revolves around the rustic chic trend that has captured the hearts of so many of us this season. Bright colors, lots of intricate details, and of course… organic elements!
Stepping outside of the realm of traditional flowers, Emily challenged the 'traditionalist' view with her own wedding and encourages her couples to do the same. The combination of her whimsical style and cutting edge design philosophy are the perfect match for a spring, summer or fall day makes her perfect for anyone looking for a creative, rustic style wedding.
Discovering why each of her couples are perfect for each other is one of her favorite steps in the planning process. Really getting to know them, and incorporating that element in to their wedding with special surprises for them is not uncommon for her.”

Again, you made our day the most spectacular day of our lives and words just don't do justice to how appreciative we are for everything you did, your hard work and the amazing staff who were fabulous. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about everything. Thank you so much again, I hope your wedding is just so wonderful!!! All our love."

“I don't think anything I write in this review could give Emily enough praise. Emily is every brides dream planner... she is willing to go above and beyond no matter what time of the day (or night). Her bubbly personality is what I noticed first. Im a hugger and so is she so we hit it off right away. Your wedding isn't just a job for her, its something you can tell she genuinely enjoys. Her assistance has gone beyond planning into an amazing friendship. I would recommend Emily to anyone wanting their wedding day to go off perfectly without a worry for the bride (and her mother). Thank you Em for everything you did for us.”

“Everything is happening around me and I am fully taken care of” was the way I felt the day of my wedding thanks to Em! She was like a hired best friend. Our family and friends were blown away by how excellent she was!
Em is bright and cheery and always enthusiastic which is exactly what is needed during wedding planning. She is also very professional with years of experience to lean on. She has a graceful way of handling every situation and bump in the road. Her enjoyment and passion for her work is apparent right from the first meeting. She listened intently and her face lit up with contagious excitement as we told her how we envisioned our day.
Em was close to 9 months pregnant for our wedding (she was completely transparent about this from the start) so she assigned a team of helpers just in case. She still went above and beyond, doing everything personally herself. She had been with me since early morning the day of our wedding, so she must have been just as tired as I was, but she had a huge smile on her face at the end of the night as she was packing up every single Christmas ornament for us. I wont ever forget feeling so grateful in that moment for all her dedication and support and energy.
For those on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, you are not only hiring a professional organizer and coordinator but a reliable go-to person for the little tasks and details. You are hiring a problem solver who is devoted to fixing any issues that arise (much like an insurance investment). You are hiring someone so that you and your close friends and family may fully enjoy the day too!”
