Emily Weddings is a wedding planning business operating out of Virginia Beach, Virginia. This company offers a comprehensive service that aims to bring each client’s vision to life. These planners strive to eliminate much of the stress that comes with preparing for such a whirlwind day. Founded by Emily Petersen, this team harnesses ample experience that aids them in their wedding-planning process. Each member acts as a helping hand, guide, and friend who can plan what you want and foresee what you didn’t know you needed.

Services Offered

This team’s priority is to give couples the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception that they have always dreamed about. Boasting over a quarter century’s worth of collective expertise, this company offers the sort of professional presence people need on their wedding day. Their full planning service is a comprehensive offering that includes a team of planners, vendor referrals, contract assistance, budget management, guest reminders, and more. They also offer a partial planning package that features several hours of consultations, rehearsal coordination, timeline creation, and much more. Included in each of these packages is the team’s wedding day emergency kit, which is a convenient addition that can smooth over last-minute hiccups. What’s more, Emily Weddings offers a day-of coordination package. This collection is designed for couples who are keen to plan the event on their own but require professionals to assist on the special day.

Emily's Weddings are the BEST!

Emily's Weddings are the absolute BEST! Wonderful to work with! They are professional, organized, and knowledgeable, all while being thoughtful and warm. I can't even imagine doing this wedding and reception without Rachel Brown and Emily's team. We chose the whole package and it was money well spent! I highly recommend these wonderful ladies!

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.
