ed to go with the partial planning service, and our only regret was not getting her full planning services, because we had no idea how much work went into planning a wedding despite what we had heard.
Emily is capable, communicative, and overall a fantastic person to work with, and anyone who uses her services will say the same.
Thank you Emily!

special day. Their itinerary was incredibly precise and accounted for every minute of the event. I watched them constantly engaged with vendors, guests, the bridal party, and the newlyweds to ensure that there was a smooth, stress-free environment for everybody. They were expert communicators from very early on in the planning process, and I’m lucky enough to say that we get to work with them again, later this year. You can be at ease with Emily and Ashley planning your event. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
