    Made the Wedding Day run Very Smoothly

    We hired Earla as "Day of Coordinator." I found her help with my daughter's wedding day to be invaluable because she orchestrated the ceremony and all the people who were involved for us. We didn't have to worry because she kept an eye on everything that was happening. Earla also came to the rehearsal dinner (with a helper), which was held off-site. She explained everything to the large bridal party. She also worked with the vendors we hired and helped with the wedding venue set-up. Planning a wedding can be quite complex, so it's nice to be able to enjoy the day instead of worrying about the many details. I would recommend Earla; she is personable, helpful, and has lots of experience.

    EFM Image Consultants's reply:

    Thank you very much, Wendy, for your kind words. I'm so glad we were able to service your daughter's wedding and left both you and she comfortable that we had everything under control so that you could enjoy the day of her dreams!

    Earla is so helpful and knowledgeable!

    Earla was very helpful with every step of our wedding day success! She even went above and beyond, and actually fixed our entire seating chart the night before the wedding, because our place cards did not arrive on time. This was such a life saver! She helped prep, plan, and perfect our wedding day timeline, and helped execute it flawlessly! Her advice was always helpful and reasonable, while still respecting our opinions and wishes. She has tons of experience, that proved she was the best person to help us on our special day. We couldn’t have done it without her and I definitely recommend her for your special day as well!

    EFM Image Consultants's reply:

    Your remarks are most appreciated and I was happy to be a part of ensuring your day was all you hoped it would be.

    Exceptional Day-of Coordination

    Earla and Debbie did an exceptional job as our day-of wedding coordinators! Earla was very communicative and helpful with addressing and planning day-of logistics that my husband and I didn't really consider. On our wedding day, she handled so many little details behind the scenes and we were amazed with everything that came together without us knowing, including handling shuttle issues, designing last-minute decoration changes, and assigning MCs for different parts of the reception. In addition, we especially appreciated how much she thought of us when asking if we wanted a quiet moment after the ceremony to be with each other. Thank you to Earla and Debbie for a fantastic wedding!

    Amazing! I will be referring all of my friends!

    Earla did everything we asked and more! She was able to get us in with the venue we wanted and was very quick in her responses. She also sent over emails every few months to guide us on what we should be focused on during that time period. Highly recommend!

    Earla is a Rock Star Coordinator

    Let me preface my praise of Earla with a few facts:
    1. The bride and groom live in California (the state, not California, PA) and the wedding venue and all guests are located in Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio
    2. We were making plans “mid-covid” so much had to be done via e-mail, facetime and zoom meetings
    3. My daughter (the bride) is a planner and very detail oriented

    Planning a wedding celebration is no small fete, but trying to do it long distance in the middle of covid lockdowns makes it even more challenging. I had no idea how we were going to get everything planned. I encouraged my daughter to engage the services of a Day of Wedding Coordinator. Oh wow! am I glad she found Earla Marshall of EFM Image Consultants. Earla is wonderful. She kept us on track and made sure all of our planning paid off. When we were in doubt of anything Earla was able to offer suggestions and help us through our indecision and/or confusion. She shared her knowledge and experience in a lighthearted but professional manner, never bossy or condescending. On wedding day Earla and her assistant allowed us to focus on enjoying celebrating with our families and friends and not worrying about anything. It was the perfect celebration for the perfect couple overseen by the perfect coordinator, Earla Marshall!

    Excellent Wedding Coordinator Services

    We recently held a wedding ceremony and reception with about 70 guests at Eden Hall, and we hired Earla Marshall of EFM Image Consultants for Wedding Coordinator services. We were planning the reception remotely from California during the pandemic, and were only able to visit the venue twice prior to the day of the event. Planning a wedding remotely is a challenge, but Earla met with us at the venue prior to the event, and also held numerous phone and video calls to discuss the details and make sure we were on track. She helped plan the logistics of the day, and offered advice about components to consider, including during the ceremony and reception, based on her experience with previous weddings. She also helped reassure us that she would make things run smoothly during the event. She gave us confidence and helped ease any anxiety we were feeling throughout the planning process. We were very comfortable working with her and felt that things were under control.

    During the rehearsal, Earla and her assistant Debbie came to the venue for a final discussion about wedding day plans, to walk through the ceremony, and to iron out the last remaining details. They were kind enough to stay longer than planned to make sure everything was clear for the next day. Debbie even offered to help with the sound equipment so that one of our friends did not need to worry about this during the ceremony. We were so thankful for this unexpected help and it really put our minds at ease.

    The day of the event, Earla and Debbie made sure the last remaining setup items were complete, and that things ran smoothly and according to schedule. Ahead of time, Earla said her goal was to handle any issues that might arise without us even noticing or worrying, and that was exactly what happened. Earla helped make sure the bride had time to hydrate and cool down, and Debbie helped with her bustle when it needed to be hand-stitched. Both Earla and Debbie were a professional, friendly and calming presence on the day of the wedding, and we feel confident recommending their services to others.

    Earla Marshall, EFM Image Consultants

    Earla was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a wedding coordinator. She always answers your questions and concerns promptly, is organized and keeps you in the loop as to what is going on with vendors etc. The DJ for my daughter's wedding even said how wonderful she was to work with! I was extremely happy with my daughter's wedding and could not have done everything without Earla! She is the best!

    Excellent Experience

    Earla was the best thing to happen to my wedding! She helped us plan every step of the way and always kept us on track with the planning process as my wedding came closer and closer. She helped set up a lot of my reception and made sure everything was set to run smoothly at my ceremony. Very responsive and has great suggestions as she has a lot of experience in the field. Would highly recommend to anyone!

    Very professional and helped us through the process of making the day run smoothly

    Earla was very professional and coordinated all of the last minute details to make the day special. She was able to keep the bridal party and guests calm in the hot sun, when one of the shuttle buses got lost and delayed the ceremony for 45 minutes. The delay caused the rescheduling of the entire evening which and she made the reception run smoothly as she coordinated with the caterer and DJ.
    Her years of experience and expertise guided us to make this important day go smoothly. We appreciated her counseling throughout the entire wedding planning process.

    Helpful day of coordination

    When I first met Earla, she was personable and super informative. We entered a pandemic half way through planning and she still continued to help even though she knew her services would most likely not be needed (due to the 25 max guest list) . She helped ease the stresses of the wedding day even though she would not be there. I highly recommend her and would 100% hire her again if we decide to plan a larger reception later in the next year or 2. 💕

    Earla is a detail-focused workhorse who understands the complexities and sensitivities of the bridegroom on the big day. She is fairly priced and worth every penny. I am grateful for her work.

    Day of Coordination

    Earla was wonderful to work with! I’m so happy that we hired her to help us on the day of our wedding. I was planning the wedding 8 hours away so it was a bit stressful trying to get the day organized. Earla was extremely helpful getting the timeline down, booking the transportation and making sure all the details were covered. After the ceremony was over she organized my husband and I to have a couple minutes to ourselves which I will be forever grateful for. She made sure everything was taken care of and I highly recommend choosing her for your day. My only regret- not hiring her as a full time planner!! Thank you Earla!

    Wonderful to work with--EFM

    Earla and Allison were wonderful to work with, resulting in a beautiful wedding for our daughter that went flawlessly. It was our only daughters wedding so we were somewhat naive, however Earla was always a step ahead with what was needed. Several times I thought,'great idea or good thinking'. I believe EFM was the best value we received of all the services we hired for our daughter's special day.

    Earla truly was my wedding fairy godmother! We hired her as our day-of coordinator and she really went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted. I was having trouble feeling like I needed to please everyone and make everything perfect. Earla was so kind, patient and helpful, and really made me feel at ease about our big day. She made sure to introduce herself to all of our vendors and to keep everyone on the same page as to the timeline and how we wanted the day to go. If you're on the fence about hiring a planner/coordinator, I promise Earla and her team are well worth the investment!
