I can say without a doubt that working with Emily for full service wedding planning was the best decision we made. It’s hard to put into words just how amazing Emily and her team were to work with all throughout the process - from pre-wedding, to the day of, to post-wedding. My husband and I both work full-time and were fully in the process of a home renovation while also moving, and the thought of planning a wedding on top of that was just too much to imagine. Then we found Emily!! Emily quickly got everything beautifully organized and brought to life the vague ideas that my husband and I had, and she also patiently and thoughtfully guided us through each decision we had to make- all while being just so incredibly considerate and thoughtful about each detail and the vision we had in mind for our day. & when we saw all the details brought to life on the day-of, I could not believe just how gorgeous everything was. What originally drew me to Emily were her beautiful designs and uniquely keen eye for detail - the events she plans are just absolutely gorgeous, and ours was no exception (it still takes my breath away to think of how beautiful it was!). But Emily offers so much more than an eye for design - she is thoughtful, organized, and understanding and made our day run even more smoothly than I could’ve imagined. Because of Emily, I never had one ounce of stress throughout the wedding day - we were able to just float through the day and enjoy it all while Emily thoughtfully and calmly kept us on-track, all while being mindful of the details we wanted to pay extra attention to during the day. We had no moments of stress during our wedding day, and we have Emily & her amazing team to thank for that. & then when we got to the venue and saw everything brought to life, I was just blown away by how beautiful it was. You will NOT find better planning and event design than Emily & her team, and I truly cannot imagine what we would’ve done without them. I’d give them 10000/5 stars if I could!!!! If you are thinking about hiring Events by Emily, it would be a true mistake not to. We would have been absolutely lost without Emily and are so grateful to her and her amazing team!

Emily and her team were the best. We loved working with both her and Dana. Seriously one of the best decisions my husband and I made during planning our wedding was having them running the show. We both work full time and I would have gone crazy with all the details and decision making without Emily assisting. She was flexible with our busy schedules and helped bring all my vague ideas to life. The final product was better than we could have ever imagined! We seriously had the wedding of our dreams! I was initially drawn to her design style, but she and her team offer so much more than just good taste. Her connections within the wedding industry were so helpful to narrow down and make decisions easier. Every time we told another vendor that Emily was our planner, we heard we were in the best hands and they could not have been more correct! She is knowledgeable, organized and down to earth. You will not regret hiring her!

We couldn't be happier with our wedding planner Daniel from Events by Emily's team! Our wedding was 55 family members in our home and Daniel helped us plan a very meaningful day. He connected us with excellent vendors - all who were professional and wondering. Daniel was a great listener who earned our trust immediately. He was able to turn our ideas into a vision and reality. I would highly recommend working with Events by Emily!

Our biggest goal for wedding planning was to not be stressed out – a nearly impossible goal, but one that we succeeded at because of Events by Emily. As our full wedding planner, Emily was there to help us navigate everything from choosing a venue to making sure everything ran smoothly the day of. She worked with us to build a vision of what we wanted our wedding day to look like and then helped us make that vision become a reality. Our favorite parts of having Emily as our wedding planner: - Her and her associate Rebecca would provide us with a couple options of vendors for each part of our wedding (i.e. venues, florals, lighting, hair and makeup, officiants, etc.). These recommendations were based on our vision for the day, but significantly narrowed down the sheer number of vendors out there to a list that was a LOT more manageable than just searching on the Knot. They were also based on positive experiences that Emily has had with these vendors in the past, which is incredibly important (can you imagine your hair and makeup person not showing up on your wedding day? Not on Emily’s watch). If we didn’t like any of the options or wanted more options, Emily and her associate Rebecca were happy to provide more options. - Emily went with us to the majority of the vendor meetings and asked questions that we wouldn’t have even considered asking. - When we had a question or wanted to add something, all we had to do was email Emily. No tracking down each individual vendor, having to follow up by phone, etc. Emily was our go-to person. - On the day-of, we were able to just enjoy our wedding day and not worry about logistics or who was going to set up the centerpieces or whether all the vendors knew where to go to set up. It never crossed my mind to worry about anything other than getting married to my best friend because I trusted Emily completely to make our vision come true – and she did! The Events by Emily team was there for us every step of the way, making wedding planning not the stereotypical stressful nightmare but instead a fun process leading up to the best day of our lives. Emily was kind, responsive, supportive of our vision (always making sure that our voices were heard above all others), and on top of everything the whole way through. We are so happy we chose to hire Emily as our full-service wedding planner and highly recommend Events by Emily to anyone considering doing the same! (Photography by Laura Memory Photography)

We had the most fantastic wedding experience working with Events by Emily. Emily and her team helped us plan our Bridgerton/English garden inspired wedding this past June at the Duke Chapel and Hope Valley Country Club as well as rehearsal dinner and Sunday brunch at the Washington Duke Inn. One of the reasons we chose to work with Emily was because of her experience with floral design and indeed, her ideas along with Bowerbird Flower’s made for the most enchanted wedding. We appreciated that Events by Emily was always quick to respond to our questions, were respectful of our budget, and alleviated so much wedding stress. On the day of, it was really helpful to have the Events by Emily team checking in on us frequently. All of our vendors recommended by Emily were amazing!! We truly think our wedding was carried out flawlessly and was the perfect celebration of our love story. B & T
