The search for your planner just ended!

There are simply not enough good things to say about Events by Emily. Not only did she go above and beyond to make our wedding day special, but along the way, we felt supported, valued, and celebrated throughout the planning process. Morgan, Ella, Todd, and Drue were SO much fun to have with us on the day, and were exceedingly swift with every need we could’ve thought of (even the ones we didn’t!) It could not be clearer how passionate Emily is about working with couples of all kinds, and that made all the difference for our wedding! She was so amazing to work with and was so flexible with us; plus, her local wedding network is unmatched. I cannot recommend Emily and her team enough!

Emily is the Best!

Absolutely incredible. I do not have enough good things to say about Emily and her service.
She is patient, organized, fun, on top of everything from start to finish. I went into wedding day with full confidence because of her and truly made my day so special. She did not skip a beat. Emily completed everything in a timely manner and asked all of the right questions to ensure everything went smoothly on wedding day.

I would hire Emily again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone getting married.

Competent, genuine team with great value

Emily is so warm and kind, you can immediately tell when you get to talk to her. I was looking for a day-of coordinator as our wedding was going to be pretty small and laidback and decided 6 months before our wedding that we were going to have one. A lot of vendors came back with responses saying we need to reach out after we have everything booked or they were not available. It felt impersonal at minimum. Emily was responsive and so easy to talk to. You can tell she genuinely wants to get to know you as a couple! It is really refreshing. Most importantly, her team is competent. Emily always remembered our points of discussion, so it felt like a personal experience. Everything ran smoothly and I felt we were in good hands. Very genuine type of feel to this company. All our vendors knew Emily and her team, they all had really great experiences with her and everyone worked together so well!!

Hire Emily - It was the best decision we made for our wedding

Our experience with Events by Emily was incredible. Emily was our wedding coordinator for our October 2023 Wedding in Overland Park, KS. The pre-planning meetings, rehearsal, wedding, reception, and follow-up all exceeded our expectations. She shared planning tools, diagrams, and spreadsheets which helped make the process less stressful. Emily listened carefully to everything we cared about and provided helpful advice and encouragement at every step in the process. Also, our families gave positive feedback about the way Emily ran the day. There are so many great things to say about Events by Emily. We highly recommend hiring them!

Hire the tenured, inclusive pro- Emily!!!

I can’t say enough about our experience with Emily! Throughout the entire process, she exhibited exceptional organizational skills and a wealth of experience that ensured our special day was nothing short of perfect. Her proactive approach and staying ahead of the game were instrumental in navigating potential challenges seamlessly.

What truly set her apart was her unwavering support and genuine attentiveness. She not only listened to our vision but actively embraced it. Her consistent check-ins ensured we were always on the same page, making us feel heard and valued every step of the way.

In addition to her exceptional skills, her inclusivity was unparalleled. As a same-sex couple, it was incredibly important to us that our vendors respected our identities, and Emily went above and beyond to ensure this. She made sure all our vendors utilized appropriate pronouns and always referred to us as “The Brides” or “the Murphy-Gentrys”, creating a safe and affirming environment for us.

When faced with a challenging situation at our venue, Emily’s dedication and unwavering advocacy on our behalf were evident. She stood firmly by our side as a couple, ensuring our reception unfolded flawlessly despite the obstacles.

Our wedding day was beyond what we could have imagined, thanks in large part to Emily’s expertise, support, and inclusive approach. Her role was instrumental, and we couldn’t have had such a beautiful celebration without her. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a wedding planner who not only delivers exceptional results but also champions inclusivity and support for all couples. Bottom line- hire the TENURED professional!

Choose emily!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Emily Bennett for our Dec. 2023 wedding and reception. Emily is an exceptional wedding planner who surpassed all expectations! From the outset, her meticulous organization and wealth of experience were evident, ensuring every detail was flawlessly executed. Her proactive approach kept us ahead of the game, effortlessly navigating potential hurdles. The addition of her day of Assistant, Morgan, was incredible as well. Morgan’s constant support, positive energy, and sweet spirit was an added bonus to our day.

What truly stood out was her unwavering support and attentive listening. She prioritized our vision, always checking in to ensure alignment and making us feel heard. When faced with a challenging situation at the venue, her unwavering advocacy on our behalf was remarkable. Her dedication ensured that our reception was nothing short of magical.

Emily’s expertise, support, and dedication made our special day truly unforgettable. Without her, our dream celebration wouldn’t have been possible. She’s an invaluable asset, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking an extraordinary wedding experience.

Talented and experienced coordinator

Emily was a lifesaver before and during the wedding! If you have any doubts about using a coordinator for your big day, I’m here to tell you that you should definitely consider using one and highly recommend Emily. Her dedication to our vision and attention to detail enabled us to have a flawless ceremony, dinner and reception without the stress of what was going on behind the scenes. Additionally, her experience was a lifesaver on the day of the wedding because we had unforeseen high winds that forced us to make tough calls on changing plans to accommodate a better experience for our guests and overall vision. She handled all communication and coordination with our vendors and went above and beyond to try to source additional items needed one week prior to the wedding. We cannot think Emily enough for helping us create the moment of our dreams!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the chance to work with Events by Emily at a recent wedding and I can't express enough how awesome she was to work with. She relayed information to me throughout the night that helped keep the event flowing smoothly. She made my job as the DJ easier which allowed me to keep my focus on the music and dancefloor. Highly recommended. Thank you Emily.
