Phenomenal wedding planners!

Our daughter’s wedding was everything and more that we could ever dream of! It was gorgeous and complete, and we are bursting with joy and love. Such beauty, deliciousness, meaning and spirituality. Every vendor was a true artist. The flowers were magnificent, as were the music, photography, and food. We will have joyous hearts for the rest of our lives thinking about 10/15/2023, the weekend surrounding it, and the year spent planning this sacred event. We highly recommend our perfect, loving, kind, professional, and knowledgeable team of wedding planners—Emily and Rebecca.

Amazing!!!!!!!!

Events by Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! To say that it was the best day of our lives is an understatement, and we owe so much of the weekend to Emily and her team. From day 1 Emily and her team went above and beyond to make the process of wedding planning as easy as possible for us, and having someone who is both willing to make your dreams a reality and also guide you in the right direction during every point of the decision process is an amazing thing, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with Emily and her team for our wedding. 10/10 recommend!!

The BEST experience

We used the full service package and I can confidently say that choosing Emily & Rebecca was the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. From beginning to end, they listened to all my worries, answered my endless questions, and kept me calm and focused. We live out of state, so their help was invaluable in identifying venues and vendors and basically planning everything while we weren't there. They know the BEST vendors, and it's clear how much the vendors love them and love working with them which makes me whole planning process and day of feel so much easier and seamless. While planning, I felt like I was never able to fully verbalize or even visualize what I wanted, but Emily took my endless ramblings and created the wedding of my dreams. She knew exactly the look and vibe I wanted even though I was often indecisive and bounced around from idea to idea. Aside from the incredible job both Emily and Rebecca did, they're both just really nice and fun to be around. I am sure the day of our wedding was stressful for them, but you would have never known. They were both such calming and steady presences for us throughout the day. Everything went off without a hitch and it's truly all thanks to them. They gave us one of the best days of our lives and I could not recommend them more. Hire them!
