Earla Rocked Our Winter Wedding !!

My husband and I truly cannot say enough about Earla. Coming into this process we weren’t even sure if we wanted a wedding coordinator. But let me tell you- you owe it to yourself to get a wedding planner like Earla. Earla made it her job to take away every stressor Scott and I had. She was like this little fairy running around and solving all our problems. Earla was professional, creative, understood our vision, and truly made my dreams a reality. From having things like Bobby pins on hand, making sure I asked the venue all the right questions, connecting vendors to each other, and getting us from place to place during the wedding on time, Earla was perfect. I had so much fun at my wedding and it’s all thanks to Earla! 10/10 recommend to ease your mind during the planning process and especially on the big day!

Trout Wedding 5.3.25

Earla was a huge help throughout our entire wedding planning process. Earla checked in multiple times throughout our planning process and had checklists to keep me on track based on how far away from the big day we were. Her and Debbie attended our rehearsal and made sure it went smoothly. Earla arrived the day of the wedding and decorated our venue, set up the cookie table, and coordinated with all other vendors. She helped to make my very type A personality happy and relaxed.

Mother of the bride feedback

My daughter's wedding at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh was beyond perfect. This is truly in part due to Earla Marshall, who was the Wedding Planner. Earla assisted with all specifics and details from day one which helped my daughter reduce stress and be able to enjoy every moment leading up to her big day. Earla was extremely resourceful, very responsive, uber organized, and was very positive throughout the entire planning process. Especially on the day of the wedding, Earla assisted with ensuring that not only my daughter's experience was all that she had dreamed of yet she was very attentive to making sure myself as well as the bridesmaids and other wedding party were able to enjoy the day to the greatest extent as well. I would recommend Earla as a Wedding Planner and consultant without reservation for future brides and grooms!

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!

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.

Earla is great!!

Earla is great and both my husband and I would recommend her to any couple! She was very helpful in securing our transportation and hotel block, and we had to switch things around a bit with both and she was very quick to reach back out to them without any trouble! On the day of our wedding, she saved the day by coming to our Airbnb and handing off the boutonnières for the groomsmen that were dropped off at our venue by mistake. On the day of the wedding, she was helpful in putting on all the boutonnières and she met with us a few times to go over details and give us some Things to think through that I wouldn’t have thought of myself. She was kind and professional to all of my wedding party, family members, and guests. She even offered to go out mid wedding to get me some eyelash glue (which I ended up deciding I didn’t need) but she came prepared with a wedding emergency kit for other necessities. Thank you Earla and her assistant Patti- you both ensured our wedding went smooth- and we had the best time!

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!

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!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
