Before we got married, we never really gave much thought to wedding ceremonies. It always seemed as something that was more a formality to do. Something to make sentimental family happy before you got the party part. With Emily, she made the ceremony more of an extension of us and our relationship with each other, and found a wonderful way to share that with our guests. She made them laugh (and a few cry) and made the ceremony a main talking piece with our guests. How many times have you said to some one that their ceremony was the best you’ve ever seen? For us, none, but at least half of our guests (and counting!) made a point to tell us just that. When I think of my wedding day, the very first thing I think back on and smile about is our ceremony. The ceremony that Emily helped us craft and make such a huge part of our day. If I could give Emily 6 stars I would, but alas I only have 5 to give. Thank you Emily for helping to make our wedding day as fantastic as it was.

Emily made everything smooth and put us at ease
EMILY was wonderful. We were so grateful that EMILY was able to do our ceremony with only a month's notice. We had thought that my future sister-in-law was going to marry us but when that was not to be we had already set a date and had invited people. EMILY came to the rescue. She made us feel at ease and allowed my sister in law to focus on the pictures which really was better. I'm glad we got a professional in EMILY. She took care of everything and knew just what to do. I would not have changed a thing. Thanks Emily. Scott and Dann Wright-Grant.

Emily was wonderful! She provided us with so many options and so much information for our ceremony so that we could have it just the way we wanted. Communication leading up to the day was very easy, and although she wasn't able to attend our rehearsal she sent along detailed instructions. She was very professional on the day of the wedding and managed to keep things moving for us on a very hot day without it feeling rushed.
