Emily took care of everything the day of our wedding! She was there from the start and stayed till the end making sure everything was perfect! Even when my mom and many of my guest got sick and things started to head south she kept it together and kept the party going. It was a tough obstacle to overcome but she did it with grace! Thank you Emily for making my day so wonderful and for taking all the stress and worry off my husband and I so we could enjoy our special day! ~ Mrs. Timothy Brown (Lindsey)

Emily was great to work with. I hired her for the day of the wedding because I didn't want to worry about anything except having fun. I wished that I would have hired her at the beginning of all the planning because she has such great ideas and knows how to get the most for your money. She is extremely organized and puts together and implements a timeline for all of your vendors and makes sure that they follow it. I had even ask her to put together a timeline to give the bridal party for the day of at the last minute, in which she didn't hesitate doing. There are so many little details that she took care of on the day of my daughter’s wedding that I didn't have to worry about. When it came to the reception, I could actually relax and enjoy every moment because I knew she was taking care of everything else. She stays to the end of the evening and I wouldn't hesitate hiring her again.

Please think Twice and Write it Out!

I contracted Emily after I saw her in action at a good friend's daughter's wedding in Conroe, TX. .She agreed to travel to San Antonio to do my daughter's wedding. My major complaint- she over promises and under delivers, I was so disappointed! She started off great and once she was paid she did very little other than the timeline.

If you consider using Emily and Occassionals, I suggest that you interview other wedding planner and coordinator companies. Construct a list of duties for Emily, add the duties (in detail) and your expectations to an additional contract for her to sign.

Once Emily was paid in full, she wanted to charge for every additional duty, which I thought came natural to a wedding planner- coordinator. Thank goodness, my sister, my brother-in-law, and my best friend saved my daughter's wedding. We were also blessed to have great vendors (not affiliated with Emily or Occassionals). Emily refused to fold the napkins which arrived unfolded. When asked why, she said, "it was not in the contract." She also rushed off (at the venue rehearsal ) before all the wedding logistics were discussed. Looking back on my daughter's wedding, this was not money well spent...
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
