Hire them!!!

Hiring Em Eliz Events to be our wedding day-of coordinator was hands down the best decision we made during our wedding planning! We got to work with Mackenzie starting several months before the big day, and she connected with our vendors and created the timeline and the floor plan. She knew exactly what we needed, and our day could not have been more perfect. So many of our guests commented on how amazing she was, running the show on the down low, and making sure everything was taken care of, so my husband and I could enjoy our day. We are on cloud nine, and I am eternally grateful to Mackenzie and the team at Em Eliz Events! You guys are so good at what you do!

The most perfect day!

Emily did an excellent job coordinating the wedding, both getting all the details set for the day AND on the day of. We had the perfect day because of Emily and Julia! Every detail was taken care of effortlessly, and the timeline was realistic and easy to follow. Emily was quick to respond to questions during the planning process, kept great communication with vendors, and overall took care of me during the process. I highly recommend Em Elize Events!

Em eliz events is wonderful to work with!

Em Eliz Events is AMAZING!!!!!! They deserve way more than 5 stars. I had the pleasure of working with Janie as our day of coordinator. Leading up to the wedding and the day of she was extremely responsive, helpful, and organized. Without her my wedding would have been pure chaos. She made the wedding day stress free with set up, clean up, making sure everybody was where they needed to be and constantly checking on me to make sure I was enjoying the day and comfortable. All around absolutely P E R F E C T. If you are hesitant on hiring a wedding coordinator or day of wedding coordinator, do it and be sure to use Em Eliz Events!!!!

SO thankful for Em Eliz Events!!!

If I could rate Em Eliz Events 100 stars, I would. Having Emily help us coordinate our wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire planning process. She is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and she went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was beyond perfect. Every suggestion and idea we had, she made a reality. She thought about each and every detail that went into making the day seamless and helped keep us organized throughout the entire process. Her personableness, communication, and experience makes her and her team top notch to work with. We are so thankful we chose Emily to help us plan and coordinate our wedding day. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a stress free wedding!

Exceptional, Professional, Friendly

Emily was an incredible planner and day of coordinator! Our wedding day was absolutely stress free, and we were able to enjoy the whole day because Emily and her team were taking care of everything. She was so friendly and easy to work with during the whole coordinating period leading up to the wedding. She is an excellent communicator and knows the wedding industry so well. I was able to get other vendor recommendations from her, and we were so happy with them too. I would recommend Emily to anyone engaged!

100% recommend a million times over

Our experience with Em Eliz Events was what dreams are made of. I mean that so sincerely. Everything was FLAWLESS leading up to the wedding and on the day of. I was expecting at least something small to go not according to plan, as is typical of any event, but nothing did. I had the most relaxed wedding day and was able to truly soak everything in. I fully attribute this to the amazing team at Em Eliz Events. I can't recommend them more and will sing their praises to everyone I come across who is looking for a wedding planner!

Highly Recommend Emily!

Emily was great to work with. She was very organized and has a very kind, calming demeanor. She put me at ease, so I knew I was in great hands during my wedding day, which allowed me to enjoy every minute! I highly recommend her for day of coordination. She listened to any feedback I provided and she did a great job communicating with all my vendors. On the day of my wedding everything ran smoothly and I can't thank her enough!

Em Eliz Wedding Planners are Professional and wonderful!

I had no idea what a wedding planner actually did and wasn't thrilled about having to hire one. Em Eliz Events were fantastic. They took care of every little detail, every problem that arose, leaving us to just enjoy the event. With smiles, grace and amazing energy they made the event wonderful for everyone. Thank you.

Stop looking now and hire Em Eliz Events

Stop looking now - Hire Em Eliz Events! I wish I would have hired Emily sooner during our wedding planning process! She coordinated and planned our wedding at The Farmhouse at Veritas Vineyard. Our wedding was small ~40 people and planning is really not one of my strengths. I was feeling overwhelmed about little details and communicating with vendors and all of that disappeared instantly when we hired Emily. She took care of all of the little details and I could just relax and enjoy. She is kind, communicative, and professional. On the actual wedding day things went so smoothly with Emily and her team. I truly didn’t worry or check on pretty much anything because around every turn Emily had it taken care of. One other funny anecdote I wanted to add, Emily realized immediately that my husband is the better planner and detail person so she directed her communication towards him - I didn’t get her phone number until the wedding day 😂. She really understood us as a couple and did a great job. Thanks so much Em Eliz Events. Your entire team was great and we really appreciated everything.

Em Eliz Events was our best decision!

The best decision you can possibly make for your wedding is to hire Em Eliz Events! We hired Emily as our day-of-coordinator and she went above and beyond. She was communicative and professional, reaching out to us well in advance of the wedding to contact vendors and help create the timeline. We had our fair share of last minute changes, cancellations, and complete 180's from the venue, but Emily handled it all calmly and professionally. The day of the event, she was a constant, yet unobtrusive presence, getting us all down the aisle on time and ready with the bandaids and the bustling of the gown. The wedding really was flawless and I give Emily full credit for her exceptional work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
