Emma Events

Working with Emma for our three day destination wedding was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! (The only better decision was deciding to have a destination wedding in the first place!) From our first zoom meeting we knew instantly that we wanted to work with her. She was so personable, easy to talk to, experienced and understood our vision. We started planning our wedding almost two years before because we wanted to ensure COVID restrictions wouldn't postpone our wedding. Luckily we were able to take a trip to the Amalfi Coast last summer to meet Emma and her equally amazing assistant, Roberto, in person to tour venues and rehearsal dinner locations. My husband likes to tell all our friends and family that he knew we made the right decision when hiring Emma when she pulled up in a little red Fiat 500 to pick us up for the day!

Two years is a very long to plan a wedding, especially with someone as indecisive (and maybe a little bit picky/stubborn) as myself! But she stuck with me as my vision changed about half way through planning and was so quick to make the changes needed. All of the vendors she recommended were amazing and were also a delight to work with. She always made herself available over email and always set up zoom calls to discuss mood boards, vendor quotes or any big upcoming decisions.

But the real test came wedding week. The weather forecast showed rain almost everyday leading up to the trip and then it eventually just showed rain on the wedding day. On the morning of the rehearsal dinner, I texted Emma and asked if it would be a crazy idea to switch the events and have the wedding that day since the weather was so beautiful. Instead of telling me yes, I was crazy, she contacted all the vendors to see if it would be possible. Ultimately, we decided against the idea because it was in fact crazy, but I don't know how many other wedding planners would have gone to such great lengths for their clients. On the wedding day, we all woke up to thunder and lightening and so much rain but she never bated an eye. We had to move to Plan B for all of wedding events (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner) and she executed everything flawlessly, as well as all of our vendors. Our guests even marveled at her running around, orchestrating a whole new wedding on the spot. It didn't even look like we were going to be able to have our ceremony outside, but she could see in my face that I did not want to get married at the venues backup location inside so we waited for a break in the rain and did the ceremony under the olive trees (the whole reason we booked the venue). I will add that she had the florist set up two ceremony locations (one inside and one outside) so we could make the decision on the spot. She thought of everything! The day turned out to be amazing and so dreamy, something we could have never achieved without her help.

Where do I begin!

The pandemic was an interesting time for all, and especially those who got engaged during it. The chaos and unstable state of the world felt endless and hopeless. My now husband and I knew that our itch to travel needed to be scratched and pounced at the opportunity to be married abroad once restrictions lessened. I knew I wanted to get married by the sea (had to battle my husband over France vs Italy) but thankfully I got my way.

I was terribly nervous that I wouldn't be able to find reliable vendors, locations, or towns. I searched long and far and I found Emma.

Oh my Emma!

Words cannot express how absolutely lovely she is. The first time we met over Zoom I felt like I had known her for my whole life. She is sweet, smart and brilliantly talented. She knew more of what I wanted than I did myself - she dug deep into getting to know me and my style. I'm a minimalist (working in design, I am tired of such busy color and palettes to be honest) and I wanted it to still feel very romantic and lighthearted. She secured the perfect vendors - the flowers were to die for, the band was so authentic and fun, the venue was absolutely stunning and the officiant was stellar. A month before the wedding I decided I wanted to do a custom made limoncello bottles of the guests and Emma did it in a breeze.

The only things that went wrong on my wedding day were because I can't walk in a long dress or remember to be a good Catholic and put on my veil.

If you decide to partner with Emma, please expect to have the best day of your life. She will take care of every detail, ease every stress, and hold your hand every step of the way. She is insanely talented with putting together and executing a vision. You are in very capable hands. I simply wished I lived on the Amalfi Coast and could think of more things to bother her about.

Thank you again Emma, I will cherish our time together forever

We are very grateful and thankful to have had the help of Emma Events when planning our destination wedding in Ravello. We are based in U.K. so having Emma’s expertise and local knowledge of the venue and vendors was something that made our day go a lot smoother. Emma was very helpful throughout a tricky planning process which involved a couple of postponements. Despite the delays, we were in regular contact and had the opportunity to work together to experience a truly magical day. We were very happy with how the day went and all of our guests (and us) went away with some unforgettable memories.
