Amazing experience with Emily Weddings

The best thing we ever did for our wedding was work with the Emily Weddings team! They made the planning process fun and stress free. This team is reliable, unbelievably organized and knows so much about the wedding industry, On our actual wedding day, we didn't have to think about a thing except enjoying the day with our family and friends. I would recommend them as your event/wedding planner to anyone that asks!

Rachel at Emily Weddings is an absolute boss

I had the pleasure of working with Emily Weddings for my wedding in June, 2024. I cannot express how grateful I am to have worked with them, especially Rachel Brown. From the start, she made me feel like I was in great hands. She was super attentive and accommodating through out the entire process. I had a super specific vision and she helped me execute it flawlessly. My wedding was the most special and perfect day and I could not have done it with out her! She also brought with her a team of girls to help coordinate the day of planning. Karen was also personally a huge help to me and made sure I made it down the aisle, comforting me beforehand. Rachel cares so much about her job. She even took time to last minute steam my dress while it was on my body just moments before I walked down the aisle. If you choose to go with Emily Weddings, I can promise you wont regret it!

Thank you thank you!

I cannot lavish enough praise on the Emily Weddings Team! From the moment I first spoke to our lead planner Rachel, who is an absolute sweetheart, I felt a HUGE sigh of relief. She was able to take all of my daughter’s thoughts & ideas (and my MOB worries) and focus them into a concrete plan for my daughter & her fiancé’s garden party wedding. She and her team then executed the day flawlessly - literally not one thing could have been better, the day was absolutely a dream! Right down to the breezy warm June weather (still not sure how she managed that) And all through the planning process Rachel was managing vendors, checking contracts, balances, deliveries and timelines...all the hard work to take the stress off of all of us, so that we could focus on what was really important, my daughter marrying her sweet husband! The Emily Weddings team is truly the BEST and we feel so lucky to have had them in charge of one of the most important days of our lives—we felt so nurtured and taken care of--we love the whole team so much!

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!

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!

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!!!

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!

These women are absolutely amazing. I'm convinced that there isn't a thing that they can't do. Every time I have worked with them, I have seen them face hurdles and "glitches" that that would make any bride cringe on their wedding day. They handle these obstacles with ease and care, and 9 times out of 10 the bride doesn't even know there was ever a problem in the first place. What more could you want in a wedding planner? If you are getting married, the last thing you want is added stress on your wedding day. Emily and her team will take the stress on for you, so that you don't have to think about anything, but marrying the one you love.
