Heartthrob Weddings and Events

her before I was even engaged. I’d worked with her on weddings as a vendor in the past and she has always been great to work with from that side, and our experience with her as our planner was no different. Emily is, hands down, one of the best wedding planners I know. She runs a tight ship and is incredibly straightforward, efficient, and knowledgable. Her eye for design is unmatched. I talk about our MASSIVE mood board that she put together for us constantly because it was absolutely incredible and helped give not only us, but our vendors a clear look into what we were planning and what our design vision was for our wedding day (this was my favorite part). Her budget management system was absolutely everything and helped us stay on track, and she even had a 3D floorpan for us to work with when it came to table assignments that was so easy to work with. She put together a thorough timeline for our wedding day, and walked through that timeline with us and our vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. She took these tasks that could have felt like climbing Mount Everest to complete and made them easy and manageable for us. I thought I would be the *chill bride* after having been in the wedding industry for nearly 13 years, but after having an all-day mental breakdown over table linens and what colors I liked best, I knew I was not the chill vibes I aspired to be. Emily walked me through and kept me calm throughout this particular mental breakdown in addition to the entire planning process *while also* making sure that I felt heard and understood . She talked me down off of so many ledges and even took things off of my hands when they felt like too much (like figuring out and booking hotel blocks). Within 48-72 hours of our wedding, we ran into a number of little fires (as every wedding does, I’m sure) that Emily seamlessly put out without missing a beat. As I was running around and stuffing our car for the trip to our hotel, Emily was having extra menus that were missed overnighted from our designer in Michigan, handling rentals arrivals, managing our vendors, and then even running through our ceremony rehearsal via facetime since myself, my husband, MoH and parents were stuck in gridlock traffic. On the day of, my husband and I were SO comfortable with Emily running the show and everything ran perfectly. She never gave off anything but a relaxed and professional energy (I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to have calm and collected folks surrounding you) and my family and bridal party loved her, too. I can not imagine planning or having our wedding day without her and I can’t imagine how chaotic things would have been without her. I would hire Emily 100 times over. I adore her and we can not thank her enough for everything she has done for us.

of a "normal" wedding. It didn't take long to realize that, no matter how much planning we might do, or how much money we might drop, these are not "normal" times. So rather than wait for something uncertain and wildly expensive a year or more down the line, we decided to jump at the opportunity to work with Heartthrob and their all-star team of vendors and collaborators to create the perfect, covid-safe experience for us and our closest family and friends. It was an absolute dream come true in every way, honestly. From the flowers to the venue to the cake to the photography to the wedding planning/day-of event management, everything was included in the (very reasonable) price and far exceeded expectations. Emily was so helpful, communicative, and professional throughout. And we made all of it happen in under a month!! We are forever grateful for this experience. If you are a couple who's looking to turn the odd circumstances in which we find out world into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something intimate, magical, and surprising with your special day, please do yourselves a favor and book Heartthrob. --Alex & Ty

wedding we had. It was absolutely perfect, and beyond our wildest dreams. She guided us through the entire process, from start to finish, and then some. She threw my friend one of the most beautiful weddings I had ever seen, and Heartthrob came highly, highly recommended by her. I had to meet with her and once I did, I knew I needed her help! At the beginning, she helped us to feel comforted and secure - the wedding planning process is heavy and intimidating! During the thick it, her outlines and super thoughtful guidance helped keep us on track and free of stress. I always felt we were on top of it - thanks to her. By the end of it, on wedding day, Emily and her team handled all the vendors, guided the guests (and our wild wedding party), and we were left to simply enjoy our day - carefree. I really cannot stress enough how valuable Emily was for to us and our wedding. It goes beyond what words can explain! I would recommend her to anyone, anytime, for any event.

s such a huge part of our gorgeous/fun/amazing/relaxing (???) wedding that I cannot recommend her enough!!! I will admit, a wedding planner was something that we didn’t think of right away but boy am I glad we decided to hire one. Using an app like The Knot is fine but it does not replace a human and there are so many details to think about that it can feel overwhelming and daunting. We quickly realized that we were clueless about all the work that goes into planning and Emily made it super easy and pretty fun (even during the seating chart 😊) We had a 14 month engagement and Emily was there every step of the way (I think she works 25 hours a day), from picking a venue, dealing with vendors, telling me when I should breathe and when I should decide on the color for table linens. She takes out all the guesswork and stress that comes from planning a huge event and reminds you of how special and exciting this time is. Another thing that I didn’t realize when we hired her is that she comes with a TON of vendor contacts so you don’t have to scour Yelp for chair rentals or photo booths or tents in case it rains (because yes, there was rain and who the heck even knows where to find a tent at a week’s notice??) She was even able to get us discounts because of her existing relationships! Who doesn’t love that? I could go on and on but I won’t. Do yourself a massive favor and hire Emily the minute you get engaged and you will be so glad you did!
