We found our venue in May and intended to have a "chill" reception in October (5 months). As we dove deeper, we wanted a wedding ceremony too. We started our wedding planning without a coordinator and realized how much we didn't know.

We were put in contact with Emily at the beginning of August (2.5 months to Wedding date) and miraculously were able to contract her services. SHE WAS A GAMECHANGER. We cannot recommend Emily enough. She is honest and always looking for your best interest.

Our wedding day was flawless and was exactly what we wanted. It wouldn't be possible without her guidance and help. Emily and her team were a pleasure to work with. They are extremely professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and reliable.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Emily and her team were. We brought on Emily as our day of coordinator but she went far above and beyond what we expected of a day of coordinator. She didn't hesitate to contact us from day one to discuss everything. Her levels of organization are so impressive and for a DIY bride like myself, it made me realize that even though we worked really hard to do everything ourselves, our dream wedding could not have come together as magically as it did without Emily and her team. She's incredibly down to earth, practical, and fun. She was there with us every step of the way and the wedding day was seamless. We could not have asked for a better team to handle one of the biggest days of our lives and if we could do it a thousand times over, we would choose Emily and her team every time. Don't hesitate, you've found the one!

If you are in the market for a wedding coordinator in SoCal, stop your search right here! Emily was our wedding coordinator, and she was an absolute steal—the best money we have ever spent.

She was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process and genuinely helped us turn our vision into reality. They say every wedding has things that go wrong, but our wedding had *a lot* of twists and turns, and Emily handled every single one with incredible poise, professionalism, and calm.

We felt so spoiled throughout the entire night. Her attention to detail was seriously incredible, and she somehow seemed to be one step ahead of everything at all times. We were able to actually enjoy our wedding because we knew Emily had everything under control.

We truly cannot say enough good things about her. She is organized, thoughtful, responsive, and absolutely gets sh*t done. If you're considering hiring her, do yourself a favor and book her. You will not regret it!

EVNTSBYEM WAS AMAZING FROM START TO FINISH!!! We would love to give them 500 stars /5 if we could. Emily and her team have been so well organized and communicative throughout the whole process. 100% our wedding wouldn't have manifested in the way we envisioned if not for them. Her team remained very calm and professional when it came to trouble shooting unexpected issues before and during the day of the wedding.

We would correspond with weekly/daily emails depending on the topic at hand. The team always kept us on track with planning by breaking down options for each portion of the wedding to ensure our ideas aligned with our budget. Timelines were also provided to keep us on track of planning and prevent us from being overwhelmed. Vendor lists that were vouched for were also provided to ensure that we wouldn't have to play a guessing game on who was reliable or too good to be true.

There are not enough words to express how grateful we are to this super team. 1000/10 would hire again.

Look no further. Emily is the wedding planner/coordinator you have been looking for.

We hired Emily as our day-of coordinator, but her services went far beyond simply showing up on the wedding day. From the very beginning, she helped us feel prepared, organized, and confident that our wedding would be a success.

We booked her almost 11 months before our wedding, and she was helpful from the start. She guided us through contracts, vendor questions, venue requirements, and all the little details we would not have known to think about.

She was always responsive and great at keeping us on track without making the process feel overwhelming. She also attended important virtual vendor meetings with us, visited the venue with us, and made sure everyone understood the layout, timeline, and overall vision for the day.

Leading up to the wedding, Emily created a detailed timeline that outlined the entire day, from getting ready, to first looks, to the reception, and even through breakdown at the end of the night. That timeline gave us so much peace of mind because we always knew where we needed to be and when.

By the time our wedding day arrived, we felt completely prepared. Of course we were nervous because we were getting married, but we were not stressed about the planning or logistics because we knew Emily had everything handled.

Our wedding went exactly as planned and exceeded anything we could have dreamed of. Emily and her team allowed us to focus on enjoying the moment, having fun, and spending time with our guests.

Emily is 1000% worth it. If you want a successful, organized, and stress-free wedding day, we highly recommend hiring her.

Claire, our Day Of Coordinator, went above and beyond to ensure we had not only a flawless wedding day, but an easy lead up to the day as well. We hired her 3 months before the wedding before a significant amount of personal and work travel, and Claire adjusted her checkpoints and milestones to ensure we were close to finished prior to our travel beginning. She provided bi-weekly checklists and meetings, joined all of our final vendor calls, and helped us stay organized every step of the way. On the wedding day, she managed all of the vendor relationships and communications, and she was so helpful to keeping us just in the loop enough while still getting to enjoy the day. We also had a substantial issue with our bus driver arriving late and driving unsafely, and Claire handled the situation with grace and professionalism. We barely even knew about the issue until it was time to go home and Claire briefly shared what was going on and our solution to get our guests home. We could not have kicked off our marriage without her!

Working with Emily from “Events By Em” was the best experience my wife and I could have asked for while planning our wedding. Emily communicates promptly, efficiently, clearly, is highly organized, and has complete command over the wedding planning process from beginning to end. No stone was left unturned. She made us aware of so many things we wouldn’t have thought of on our own (e.g. how much to tip each vendor, etc.). There are too many positive things to mention in one review, so I’ll say our biggest takeaway was that we didn’t feel nervous or very stressed at all leading up to/during the big day. We had the utmost confidence in Emily and her team to execute the best day of our lives, and we trusted her so much that we would often defer to her best judgment for certain decisions. Without Emily, we couldn’t imagine pulling off what we thought was a perfect celebration. Working with Emily was worth of every penny and then some, without a doubt. We couldn’t recommend “Events by Em” more!

Look no further, Evntsbyem is the one! Emily made our wedding day smooth and seamless. With her help we were able to enjoy our best day ever to the max! Emily is very timely, responsive, and organized. As a high stakes event, it was nice to have someone like Emily giving us the tools and support we needed from day one to develop our day. Thank you Evntsbyem!

Hiring EVNTSBYEM was hands down the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. She took on every challenge, every curveball, and every last-minute detail without missing a beat. Her professionalism is unmatched, and her ability to keep us calm while managing what felt like a hundred moving parts at once was truly remarkable. On our wedding day, all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves because she had already handled everything else. Worth every penny and then some.

As a type-A person, usually the one hosting and coordinating events, I knew I needed somebody who could be an extension of myself on my wedding day. From the moment we booked Emily, we knew we made a great choice. She asked important questions that helped remind my husband and I to consider little details. The timeline she provided acted as an amazing checklist throughout the planning process. There were templates, reference documents, and packing lists provided. It was super helpful that Emily also took over communicating with vendors closer to the day-of the wedding. Her familiarity with our venue and some vendors made me feel at ease that everything is taken care of. I appreciated that she was available to answer my questions and advised me on my wedding logistic concerns.

On the day-of the wedding, her and her assistant Tony got the table decorations set-up exactly like how I envisioned for the reception. She kept the wedding party running on time, made sure we were well fed (and hydrated), and made whatever we needed magically appear.

I am so grateful that we picked Emily as our day-of coordinator! My wedding vision came to life and I was able to BE the Bride instead of the worrysome party planner on my special day!
