    Please Hire EWT!

    The Emily Weddings Team is simply phenomenal. I am self-admittedly a bride with high expectations and perfectionist tendencies. Not only did the performance of the Emily Weddings Team (lead by Kate and Becky for my wedding) far exceed my high expectations, they never once made me feel like a high maintenance bride. They were professional and timely and thorough with communication. They put together a dream team of vendors for our wedding within our budget and immaculately carried out our dream. There is absolutely no way we could have accomplished our dream wedding without them. Please hire them. They are AWESOME!

    Absolute Perfection

    I cannot stress enough how amazing the Emily Weddings Team is! From my initial consultation throughout the entire planning process & then to the day of my wedding, EWT went above & beyond to ensure my husband's & I day was literally picture perfect. Rachel, our main planner, is the absolute best. She was so organized, proactive, & knowledgeable. Rachel listened to what we envisioned for the day & was able to match us with the perfect vendors that fit our personalities, aesthetic, etc. The amount of stress she alleviated for me throughout the wedding planning process (let alone day of) was tenfold. If any couples are on the fence whether or not it is worth it to hire a wedding planner (EWT specifically), do not hesitate. EWT was the best investment we made. THANK YOU EWT!

    Rachel and team are amazing!!

    I am so glad I chose Emily Weddings as my wedding planner and would highly, highly recommend them to anyone. After our initial meeting I knew that the team was full of perfectionists, so I felt so at ease from beginning to end. I'm so glad I got to work with Rachel from the start, but all of the ladies who I interacted with in the process were such a pleasure to work with. During planning, Rachel was so responsive and knowledgeable about vendors and options. On the day of, our wedding ran so smoothly that even my parents commented to me about how flawlessly the team executed the whole day. I'm so thankful they were there with me every step of the way to coordinate details big and small so I could focus on having fun with my family and friends without any stress. Thank you to Rachel and the whole Emily Weddings team!

    Emily's Weddings are the BEST!

    Emily's Weddings are the absolute BEST! Wonderful to work with! They are professional, organized, and knowledgeable, all while being thoughtful and warm. I can't even imagine doing this wedding and reception without Rachel Brown and Emily's team. We chose the whole package and it was money well spent! I highly recommend these wonderful ladies!

    The best wedding planners!

    Rachel and her team at Emily Weddings was the best investment we made in our daughter’s wedding process! There are no words to describe how special our celebration was with the help of Rachel and her team! They went above and beyond our expectations! The process to my daughter's wedding day went smoothly. Rachel attended all vendor meetings, reviewed contracts, and finalized all vendor coordination with our venue. She was awesome! I highly recommend them to everyone looking for a planner - they made the wedding process stress free for everyone!

    Amazing TEAM!

    Almost a year and half ago, my daughter and I met with Kate via zoom. After spending an hour with her, I knew we had just been given the greatest gift. The level of guidance, coordination, and professionalism was extraordinary . The journey to my daughter's wedding day was seamless. Kate attended all vendor meetings, reviewed contracts, and finalized all vendor coordination with our venue. She was exceptional. Fast forward to the big day. I cannot express the gratitude for a team like Emily Weddings. The timeline that was created was executed flawlessly. This team is by far the best in the industry and I cannot thank them enough for taking such good care of my sweet girl on her special day.

    All-Star Wedding Planners

    We interviewed Emily Weddings knowing we had many people to assist us in the planning of our big event so we weren’t sure if the extra help was necessary. I can’t believe I questioned it but I’m so happy it didn’t hold me back. As soon as we signed the full-service contract, any doubt we had vanished. I can’t stress enough how the Emily Weddings team outdid themselves on so many levels, so many times. My expectations are rarely met and with the Emily Weddings team, they were blown away. 

    Kate, our lead wedding planner, was one of the most loving, talented, professional people. She has a great ability to make people's wishes come true, like the best fairy godmother. She took on extremely mundane tasks with grace. She worked well into the night and sacrificed her own sleep so that we could wake up and see a request that had been fulfilled, too many times to track. No idea or request of mine was too big or too small. She was always at our disposal with a helping hand, an idea, a thought, a suggestion, and she successfully helped pull off one of the best events I’ve been to (I have been to some major events, including over ten Superbowls!). I never imagined my wedding day would surpass the birth of my children as one of the best days of my life. I honestly thought I had already lived the best day of my life (x 2 kids) and this would be fun but nowhere near the same level of meaning. Nope! Thanks to Emily Weddings, our wedding was the best day of my life.

    After working with this team over the last nine months, they feel like family. Kate is my fairy godmother and Brittney, Rachel, and Karen are my sisters. They are honest, genuine, professional, creative, intelligent, organized and so fun. You need to hire Emily Weddings if you want the best assistance, a helping hand, suggestions, and organization while planning your big day. If you imagine a day where you can be perfectly present in every moment, and leave everything else to someone else, you need Emily Weddings.

    10/10 recommend

    Emily Weddings was incredible. Although I only used them for day-of coordinating, Rachel went above and beyond throughout the planning process. She was available to answer any questions I had and give advice when needed. She came to my venue for our tasting and details meeting so that she would know everything I wanted. As the wedding was getting closer, she reached out frequently to make sure that I knew what tasks needed to be completed. On the day of the wedding, the entire Emily Weddings team was so wonderful. I didn’t have the slightest bit of stress because I knew they were taking care of everything and keeping us on our timeline. I would recommend Emily Weddings to any bride!

    Simply the best in the area!

    I worked with Emily Weddings for my May 2022 wedding, and hiring them as our planning team was the best money spent within our budget! We did the partial planning package, and Rachel Brown was our lead coordinator. Rachel was fantastic, and walked us step by step through the planning process, answering any possible questions, concerns, providing creative solutions etc. whenever necessary! No question or concern was too small or silly, and Rachel always had the answer. Rachel was also so pleasant to work with and was a calming, guiding presence throughout all our planning, as well as during our vendor meetings. As a bride and groom who do not live locally in the Virginia Beach area, we relied very heavily on Emily Weddings for all our vendor selections and we were never disappointed. The entire Emily Weddings team absolutely shined the day of our wedding. No detail went unturned, as Rachel provided every vendor with their own personalized minute by minute timeline for the day, so that they had a clear picture of their individual roles throughout the day. In addition to Rachel leading the show behind the scenes, we had 5 additional hands on deck from the Emily team to ensure everything ran smoothly. I was bracing myself for a few things to go wrong as this is what I typically heard about weddings and that I should expect a few hiccups and to just brush them off. I kid you not, nothing went wrong at our wedding and the day was absolutely perfect - even better than I could have imagined and beyond my dreams of what to expect. I credit Rachel and the Emily Weddings team for this - they were so buttoned up and professional, they ran everything without a hitch. We had multiple guests comment upon how incredible our planning team was, both during and after the wedding. I can't recommend them enough, they are simply the best in the area!!!

    Mother of the Bride

    The best $ spent for our daughter’s destination, 165 guest wedding. Emily Weddings help us the moment we started the process a year prior with everything. I mean the venue, all vendors, transportation, logistics, church, etc. throughout the weekend to the very end of the night. The wedding would not have been as successful and beautiful without these wonderful women and we continue to have compliments on them and the best wedding ever. They are a very, very well run and managed organization to help you have the best day possible!

    Emily Weddings is the best thing you can do for your wedding!!!

    I am not kidding when I say we can thank Emily Weddings for every aspect of our entire wedding being so perfect! They are all completely amazing and worth every penny. We got tons of complaints on how organized and how smoothly our wedding went all thanks to this wonderful team. Kate made the entire process seamless for me for over a year that we were able to work together and as the bride I was never once stressed! I'll honestly miss working with this team, will forever be thankful for them, and cannot recommend them enough to anyone planning an event!!!

    Would hire again and again and again!

    This team came in for us late in the game because we thought we could do it all ourselves - boy were we wrong and boy are SO GLAD they were available to bail us out!! Our wedding was a bit of a production with a lot of moving pieces and everything was just so flawless with the support, organization, and guidance of these amazing women. There is a special spot in heaven for Kate - I am so, so serious about that. Between me, my mom, and my now-husband, she answered approximately 50000 questions and emails; always promptly, always sweetly (I am very big on tone over email), and always with the utmost professionalism!! Aside from that, she is FUNNY. Not just "roll my eyes and kind of smile" funny, but "I am literally chuckling out loud" funny. During the most stressful time of my life, Kate was always there with a quick answer, the best solution, and soooo much good advice from her vast expertise. I cannot sing her praises enough, honestly. Our wedding party was also completely wowed by Kate & the entire team - and this is no small feat because our bridesmaids and groomsmen have been in LOTS of weddings. Kate also was a lifesaver when it came to suggesting vendors we hadn't even thought about to fill in all the remaining gaps on our big day, and everyone she recommended was perfect!!

    Everyone you know will tell you that tons of stuff will go wrong during your wedding and I'm sure that's usually true, but because of this team I actually did not have any catastrophes and even if some small things did go haywire, I wasn't aware and as a bride that's all I needed! Also - these ladies come packed with everything you can possibly imagine to handle any sort of last-minute crisis - think of how Mary Poppins had that magic bag that could produce the solution for anything. I even had guests comment on how stylish they looked at the wedding! They have a uniform of sorts and it's super chic and a guest of mine said "whoah, I wish my wedding planner had looked that nice."
    Special shout outs to Brittney for keeping me calm and feeling bubbly while we had a delay due to my crazy mom lol, and to Andelyn for being so awesome about keeping us on track during hair/makeup/dressing and sharing my love for my wedding shoes!

    I could go on and on, but perhaps the biggest testament to this team is the fact that one of my bridesmaids ended up contacting them to secure their services for her upcoming destination wedding - and she is a perfectionist with a super sharp eye and vision!

    In short, I am eternally grateful for everyone at Emily Weddings. Your wedding day is often the most important day of your life, and I am blessed beyond measure that my most important day was in such capable, thorough, and loving hands. Evan and I (and my mom!) love you all with all of our hearts. THANK YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    Fairy Godmothers! / "Can one of these women just run my whole life?" - A Groomsman

    It's hard to know where to start with how unbelievably spectacular the Emily Weddings team is! From the very first phone call with Kate, to the first planning meeting in person at the venue, to the tasting, lighting appointment, bridal portrait (quick aside: that Kate came to my bridal portrait at all was just one of a hundred million ways where she went so far above and beyond for us!! Picture included here!), rehearsal and wedding day itself (and the hundreds of graciously and patiently answered and exchanged emails it the meantime), the experience of working with the Emily Weddings team can only be described as having a fairy godmother at work in your life to make your dreams come true! Our main contact from November 2020 through to our wedding on March 26, 2022 was the legendary, the incredible and the truly phenomenal Kate Freeman. Kate helped us navigate every single step of the wedding planning process and ensured we felt totally at ease and confident in our decision making the entire time. She brought her wisdom, her wit, her incredible work ethic and organization, her extensive wedding experience and strong contacts in the field, her empathy and her patience, grace and kindness to every single interaction and made us feel like we were her top priority and not nearly as bothersome as we must have been at times with our many questions and concerns. We felt like we couldn't "mess up" with Kate at our side helping us confirm and finalize our big day; Kate helped us navigate, often on our behalf, any tougher negotiation moments and acted as our advocate and guide during our wedding planning season. We felt excited and relaxed during our engagement season and we know we owe a large part of that calmness - and therefore having space for genuine elation about our wedding - to Kate's presence and assurance. We could have only ever experienced the planning process with Kate and the Emily Weddings team and walked away completely satisfied and grateful for their guidance, their kindness, their grace and their selfless love poured into our lives at what can be a stressful season. But GOODNESS we had our MINDS blown on our wedding day with how UNREAL the Emily Weddings Team was! We didn't know our feelings of confidence and ease could level up but we felt totally swept off of our feet by the Emily Weddings team! From the minute the arrived Kate, Kristen, Andelyn and the entire team were a powerful pairing of efficiency/organization and grace/kindness. We felt like a boat it in a river, not even realizing/feeling the current that was hard at work to make sure our day was absolutely perfect as we floated through it. The Emily Weddings team was omnipresent to help answer a guests question, concern, etc. and made sure our day was ABSOLUTELY SEAMLESS - while helping make sure everyone was where they needed to be and when by being in constant communication over their ear pieces - while being cognizant of any small detail or problem and proactively addressing it (like re-lighting candles when the wind blew them out, helping spot-treat stains on my wedding dress, always having a fresh beverage ready for us at the table, confirming permission from us about when to pass out feather boas, offering to re-adhere false eyelashes for bridesmaids, etc. and all of the millions of things that I didn't know about because they handled it before it even came to me) - WHILE being at the ready to help make actual dreams happen (like making an impromptu, rapid photoshoot happen as the sky was brilliantly lit up in beautiful pinks by helping our amazing photographer and videographer, Emily and Justin Gibby, get out of our venue and in front of our tent - photo that Andelyn & team, Emily and Justin help capture for us included here!). I will stop here but I am remiss because I could literally go on and on about what a blessing the Emily Weddings team is. One of our groomsmen summed it up best when he, impressed with the kindness and professionalism of the Emily Weddings team said, "Can one of these women just run my whole life?" We couldn't agree more!

    Absolute perfection!

    ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!!!!!! It’s well known in 2022 that weddings are pivoting quicker than we can say wedding. Mostly it’s due to that nasty C word. However, my groom to be, had a work conflict with our original date and we had to push up 4 months. I was told every step of the way by Emily weddings team “Don’t worry about it, we got this. It’s going to be beautiful”. And it seemed as the date got closer more and more conflicts tried to test our wedding. If there is a master wedding planning book of possible things that could go wrong, my wedding needs to have its own book of EVERYTHING that can go wrong. All the up until the venue fire alarms were going off and Emily weddings staff just smiled through it, while also checking on the status, and continuing to get my garter on and keeping me calm. This wedding had so many pivots, date change, indoor/outdoor change, weather change, 3 DJ changed etc, etc, etc. The positivity, professionalism, and expertise kept my super anxious, Type A personality, calm, cool and collective. There is no way, zero way, I would have been filled with so much happiness without Emily Weddings by my side batting off every issue that arose. While our wedding was nothing like we initially planned, it was an absolute dream, perfect and exactly the day we envisioned. Emily Weddings will always be a part of our wedding story.

    Flawless Wedding Day

    The Emily Weddings team made our wedding day absolutely spectacular. From the outset our lead, Kate, sent us all the documents and templates we'd need to plan an amazing wedding. It was clear this team has tons of fantastic experience - they have seen it all and know what makes a wedding perfect. She helped us find amazing vendors and facilitated meetings, payment schedules, and communication throughout the planning. As a bonus, she is a joy to work with. Then an absolute miracle unfolded when we got to the big day. Kate and her team executed our vision flawlessly. Having a whole team available to take care of every detail or help with every issue truly differentiated the Emily Weddings service. Kate had been with us every step of the way so was able to guide her team and every single thing went off without a hitch. I could not recommend having Emily Weddings alongside you on your big day!

    The BEST of the best!

    Let me preface this by saying that I truly don’t think any review would be able to do enough justice or speak to how incredible the Emily Weddings team is, but I’ll try my best here! To say that Emily Weddings goes above and beyond is a gross understatement. From the very first correspondence, they have been nothing but top notch, and from the first moment that we met our lead Wedding Planner, Kate Freeman, we knew that we were in the very best hands possible! We can not say enough good things about Kate- she is truly a rockstar wedding planner and I have never met a more organized person in my entire life! In addition to her incredible wedding planning skills, she truly has a heart of gold- Kate is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and compassionate humans I know, and over the course of planning our wedding, I am now lucky enough to call her a friend. Like many other couples during this time period, we unfortunately had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID- wedding planning is stressful in itself, but this certainly upped the ante, and I can honestly say that I speak for my husband and our entire family when I say that we don’t know what we would have done without Kate and the Emily Weddings team during this crazy time- Kate was not only a lifesaver and beyond helpful on the logistics and coordination side, but she was incredibly supportive and there for us during the multiple date changes and heartache/uncertainty that comes with that. Thanks to the magic of Kate and Emily Weddings, we were somehow lucky enough to secure all of our original vendors for our wedding day (our third date change). This is just one of many examples of how Kate was our “rock” and always saved the day or found a solution to any issue that arose. She is always on top of it and has the most positive attitude through it all! We will never be able to thank Kate & the entire Emily Weddings team enough for the countless amount of hours and hard work they put into making sure our big day finally happened seamlessly, and that it was just as perfect as we envisioned it being (and IT WAS BEYOND!)! Our expectations were exceeded, and we are just so thankful for Kate and all of these amazing women on the team who helped make the wedding of our dreams happen and go off without a hitch- I was lucky enough to have Andelyn and Brittany by my side on our big day as well, and they were just phenomenal! It was the most perfect day, and we know it wouldn’t have been possible without Emily Weddings. I could easily go on and on about the incredible caliber and level of service they provide, and we obviously cannot recommend them enough! All I can say is that if you’re looking for the best wedding planner and the most stress-free experience possible, please do yourself a favor and hire this incredible team- you will NOT regret it!

    Literally A Dream

    Emily Weddings was literally the best decision I made for my wedding (besides my husband, of course!). From day one, Rachel was engaged, helpful, kind, generous, selfless, and accessible. She helped me book almost ALL my vendors, worked to execute our vision flawlessly, and made the overall wedding planning experience so much more enjoyable. We had a large wedding party (24 total) and invited 180 people. It was a lot of planning and would have been absolutely impossible without Emily Weddings. Both my husband and I work 50-60 hours a week so we simply did not have the time to pour into the planning the way other couples do. Not to fear though, because Rachel and her team were always one step ahead of the game! By the time we actually got to our wedding day (after over a year of planning) everything was actually flawless. They had four team members with us the day of the wedding, and each lady knew exactly what to do at each and every moment. Even though we worked with Rachel, every person on their team knew our wedding, our dream, our vision, and us as a couple. I cannot rave enough about this team. Honestly, it never even felt like a "vendor" doing a job (not to say they weren't professional, they were), but more like a friend helping and guiding you to bring your wedding vision to life. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all these ladies and I recommend them 100%, without reservation. Book them for your wedding. You will NOT be disappointed. (P.S. I had 11 bridesmaids, yes, I'm crazy, and most of them are married or engaged - every single one commented on how professional, aware, competent, engaging, helpful and just overall fantastic the Emily Weddings Team was for our wedding! Okay, now that you're done reading my long review GO BOOK THEM!)

    The best coordinators in Va Beach

    If you are holding a wedding in the Va Beach area, you really need to contact (and hire) Emily weddings. Talk to any vendor in the space and their reputation precedes them. We held a medium sized event at the Cavalier and Emily Weddings was just superb. They not only accommodated our wishes but added value through excellent suggestions and ideas. They even helped us find a floral vendor when our original vendor ghosted us. Kate was our dedicated coordinator and I can tell you that she will leave no stone unturned, no question unasked or unanswered. Their day of coordination was stellar as they brought the entire team to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. They even intervened in helping us get additional value out of one of our vendors. I can't recommend them highly enough.

    I would only recommend emily weddings!

    My mom forcing me to get a wedding planning and us finding Emily Weddings was literally one of the BEST things that ever happened to me! There are not enough nice things I can say about Rachel and her entire team that would justify just how lucky I was to have her and what an AMAZING job they did. Not only did they make my wedding absolutely perfect, they were beside me every step of the way planning, helping keep my stress level down, and just helping with every little detail. Not to mention, they had to do DOUBLE the work with us having to switch venues 4 months before the wedding due to COVID travel restrictions. Rachel AND Kate made our entire week in Key West absolutely perfect!

    World's Best Day-of-Coordinators (Really)

    Hiring Kate (and Emily Weddings) was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. Initially, we were hesitant to hire a day-of-coordinator, but we are so glad that we did. Hiring the team saved us time, energy, and money. They thought of things we would never think of, were there whenever we had questions, and were just all-around amazing to work with. They are worth every. single. penny. If I could do it over, I would have hired Kate and Emily Weddings sooner.

    PERFECT second to my Bride.

    I want to start this review out by saying if you are looking for a real planner, look no further, stop here, and call these fine ladies now!
    Rachel and the entire Emily Weddings Team made our day so much more than what even imagined and the process was so smooth for us. Them maybe not so much as I am sure between my spouse and I, we were not the easiest to deal with. They took a few month timeframe, a very stressed couple, and the highest of expectations and turned it into the flawless masterpiece that far surpassed our expectations that we enjoyed as our wedding. Rachel is receiving my highest accolade for making the very short but mentally long and high stressed process so fluid and enjoyable. The best planner any couple could ask for! After her working alongside my bride and I am still confused and highly impressed as I thought we had pushed all of her buttons possible, but she never flinched. This woman is hands down amazing, and just when you thought it was to good to be true, the rest of the Emily Weddings Team comes in on our wedding day and absolutely dominates every aspect of a flawless day in the making. They were perfect coordinating clones with flawless execution. I did have the pleasure of speaking and/or meeting them and it was my pleasure as they were all so pleasant to speak with but with a fierce tenacity for their job. Loved all of their fun personalities! Any request my bride or I had on our day these ladies made it happen. I can not be more thankful for Rachel and the entire Emily Weddings Team and the pristine execution of our big day.
    Thank You So Much for Everything Your Team Offered!

    Also, they deserve all the stars, not just 5.

    Above and beyond!


    "Kate and the entire Emily Weddings Team introduced my now-husband and me to the absolute A-Team in Virginia Beach event professionals. Then, of course, came COVID19. After months of planning a large, weekend-long wedding celebration, Kate and EWT turned on a stiletto heel and helped us revise our plans into a microwedding that was more beautiful and meaningful than we could have ever imagined. She didn't miss a detail. Weeks later, when we could schedule a small reception, Kate and EWT worked with our vendors to create a safe evening with every bit of the love, joy and fun we'd hoped for."
