Great experience & so fun!
My fiancé and I attended a vow writing workshop that Emily hosted. It was definitely one of our favorite parts of wedding planning/preparing. Writing our own vows was something we both wanted to accomplish but didn’t know where to begin. Emily made the process easier and fun! We were able to reflect on our relationship and discuss where we’d like our relationship to go. The 90 minute session had us crying, laughing, and remembering why we are marrying each other! I highly recommend to all engaged couples and even those looking to renew their vows! Thanks Emily!

Vow Writing Workshop Review
My partner and I attended Emily's "Vow Writing Workshop" and were so glad we did! We are getting married next year and are opting for a small intimate wedding so making sure we have meaningful and heartfelt vows is very important to us. After this workshop I feel full of reminders of why I'm so excited to marry my partner and finally feel in the right mindset to write these vows - all thanks to Emily! She was helpful at guiding us, while also encouraging us to be 100% ourselves and she has such a calm and wonderful energy about her. I highly recommend her workshop!
