The best wedding planner I could have asked for!

Emily is hands down the reason my wedding was a success! My husband and I are not locals to Portland, so we needed a planner who knew the area and the vendors. Emily is so well-respected amongst the wedding vendor community around Portland, and I am eternally grateful that we got to work with her.

Emily has all of the qualities that make an amazing wedding planner. She's efficient and organized, and I trusted her completely to check all the boxes and never drop the thread on any task. She's always calm, and her energy helped mitigate any nervous-bride tendencies that I had throughout planning. She also has wonderful taste - she steered me away from some design choices that I'm still glad we opted out of, and the only design choice I regret was one that Emily tried her best to counsel me against!

I only wish I had more friends and family from the Northeast who wanted to get married in Maine and could work with her! Alas, we are from the south - though I've already had two friends ask if Emily plans weddings in Georgia and Florida - a testament to the wonderful wedding that Emily planned!

There is no one better!

Our wedding would not have come together without Emily. We fell in love with Emily's aesthetic from looking at her portfolio and after meeting her in Portland, we knew she was the perfect fit. She really listened to how we wanted the day to feel and helped select the most wonderful team of vendors to make it all happen. She was conscious of our budget, organized, and calm through it all. We felt supported through the whole planning process and on the day of, everything went beautifully. We cannot thank her enough for making our weekend so special and just wish we could do it all again!

Best decision we made in wedding planning!

I cannot recommend Emily with Emily Elizabeth Events enough. Emily's support throughout the entire wedding planning process up until our special day was invaluable. She was extremely helpful and consultative in our early stages of planning when evaluating vendors, sending inquiries, gathering quotes, handling the back and forth communication to firm up each detail. Throughout the design portion she was so proactive in bringing forth vision boards and ideas for every little detail - tablescape, lighting, tent setup, florals, bridesmaid/groomsmen outfits, photography suggestions, transportation logistics, invitations & day of paper goods - you name it she had an idea and vendor recommendation that fit exactly what I was looking for. Then the day of... went off without one single hitch. Emily gave us so much peace of mind so my husband and I could truly enjoy every single moment of our special day. Something that was absolutely priceless to me. She kept us as a couple, our bridal party and family, vendors and our venue so organized and helped us stick to our timeline and her organization, attention to detail, calm demeanor and unwavering support was unmatched. As a VERY type-A bride, I had 10+ emails for Emily each day which she handled with grace and efficiency, making wedding planning actually enjoyable and nowhere near as overwhelming as I thought it would be. If I could recommend Emily 5x more times, I would!!!
