OUR PROCESS

Creating timeless, elegant, & effortless events. 

She was organized, timely, respectful, responsible, & kind. She provided us with extremely helpful planning forms that took stress off of us. Emily reminded us of the important details we may have never thought of, & she made our decor look even more beautiful than we imagined. She understood our vision & her attention to detail was amazing! Thanks to her, we were able to truly enjoy our wedding day with absolutely no concerns. No wedding day is perfect, but Emily made it feel like it truly was."

"Our goal was to be present & in the moment throughout our big day-
Emily made that happen."

Kara & Wil

Planning a wedding in Grand Rapids while living out of town felt daunting, but Emily made it not only possible, but enjoyable. She connected us with the best vendors, guided every design & planning decision with confidence, & kept us organized and on track every step of the way. On the wedding day, everything went so smoothly it almost felt unreal. Because of Emily, I was able to be fully present and soak in the best day of our lives without any worries. She went above & beyond to give us not just a perfect wedding day, but also a stress free planning journey.

"She told me she would handle any issues on our wedding day before I even knew they existed- she absolutely delivered on that promise."

Heather & Adam

The wedding industry can seem overwhelming, but Emily helped ease all my thoughts & worries along the way. Our wedding timeline she created was actual perfection- she thought of every detail, slotted buffer time, & arranged for activities to run smoothly in a timely manner. Emily stayed on top of vendor communication, which was such a relief & weight off my shoulders. On the day of, Emily showed up with a smile, positive energy & excited eagerness to execute my dream vision.

Andrea & Garrett

Truly, we did not need to lift a finger. She kept everything running seamlessly & made the day easy & enjoyable for us & all of our guests. Emily completely understood our vision & helped us bring it to life so beautifully. One of our favorite moments of the night was a private dance at the end of the night. She worked behind the scenes to make sure it was set up perfectly, & it was so special. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, & the whole day felt magical because of her.

"Emily was the best planner & coordinator we could have asked for- she made our wedding completely carefree."
