Using Weddings by Emm was the second best decision of our wedding day

Having Wedding by Emm help plan and facilitate our wedding was single handedly the second-best decision of the day (first being getting married).

They helped us navigate the planning waters, helped us save a lot of money in the long run by knowing the wedding market/who to use/what was important. They took the time to learn us as a couple and individually. Helped us navigate family. The list goes on and on.

In the end, not only did they plan the wedding, but day of, eliminated all stress, even with a questionable weather forecast and all guests being from out of town. Our immediate family were able to enjoy the day with us and every detail was taken care of. They handled all of the signage for our wedding and provided momentos for us to bring home that we still have in our home today. The day was completely customized to us, in a way that we couldn't even imagine without them.

I do not know how they did it, I just know that our special day was better then what we envisioned and we had A BLAST. They are incredible.

Oh and do yourself a favor and purchase their top package. No questions asked.

I will use them for any and every party I throw in the future.

You Need These Boss Ladies by Your Side

These ladies are amazing! Super professional and organized, but also very encouraging and comforting. They gave great advice throughout the entire process, and kept me on track. The wedding day would have been a disaster without them. They dealt with a few issues very calmly and efficiently, and kept everything moving forward very smoothly. I actually learned a month or so later that they put out an actual fire on one of the tables (be careful with moss)! :) But like great coordinators, they dealt with it and moved out, without stressing the bride out! They also were super encouraging and made me feel great about the work we put in and the final outcome. You need these two with you through this process! 100% recommend!

Best Experience

Day one of being engaged I contacted Weddings by Emm. They are the sweetest ladies who are responsive and professional. Our day was organized very well and the wedding day was perfect! Weddings by Emm created our timeline for the day and made sure everything and everyone was where they needed to be. My family and I highly recommend Weddings by Emm!

Out of this world!!

If you’re like me and think you can do everything yourself for your wedding—think again!! I am so glad I changed my mind and booked with Weddings by Emm. Megan and Emily were able to take so much stress off of myself and my husband on our day. From cutting our cake, getting my bouquet, to even serving our guests drinks, they made sure I didn’t lift a finger! Their attention to detail and genuine adoration for their couples makes them so perfect for the job! I am so thankful for them and their above and beyond job they did for our special day! ❤️

The Dream Team!

My husband and I are so grateful for everything that Weddings By Emm did for us on our wedding day! Officially, we hired Weddings By Emm for day of coordination, but what this duo brings to the table goes far beyond the day of. Both Emily and Megan consulted with us throughout the wedding planning process to ensure we were on the right track, conducted a wedding rehearsal for us, and were in frequent communication with us about creating our day of time line and any additional help we may need in preparation for the wedding. They brought up important aspects of wedding planning that would have gone unnoticed otherwise, and their professionalism and organization made our wedding as stress free as possible! We did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day, and having these ladies there is why! Choosing Weddings by Emm to coordinate was one of he best decisions we made in our wedding planning process and we highly recommend this team to any upcoming bride or groom!

Absolutely Amazing

For starters I just want to talk about how sweet, patient, and organized Megan and Emily were. I have a very hectic and busy life so there were many unintentionally unanswered emails. They were always so very understanding in my delay and that meant more to me than I truly think they will ever know. They are also a large reason why my day was so great. Without them I honestly do not know how I could have managed everything. Anything I asked they had an answer or advice for. I originally was trying to plan my wedding myself (10/10 do not recommend) and finally enough was enough. I googled "wedding coordinators in Knoxville" and Weddings by Emm immediately popped up. I read their bio and instantly knew they were the perfect ladies for the job. They exceeded my expectations. After the wedding was said and done telling them goodbye was one of the hardest parts of the evening. Every meeting and conversation had with them felt like I was talking to a friend. So do yourself and your stress level a favor and hire them. I promise you will not regret it.

The greatest team to have on your side!

Weddings by Emm was a saving grace for me! Due to COVID, I had to scrap my original wedding plans and pull off a micro wedding in a completely new location with all new vendors in a matter of a few months. I used them for day of coordination services, but they were involved weeks out, helping me through some tough decisions and unknowns of planning a wedding from afar. The decor and set up was executed flawlessly, and the day flowed smoothly. It was a such a relief that I didn't have to worry about anything and could enjoy the time with my family and friends. They are organized and professional, plus they will go the extra mile for you. I highly recommend using them for your wedding day!

The perfect team for your wedding coordination!

Emily and Meghan are an incredible team! From the first day we met Emily and Meghan we were impressed with their investment in making our wedding day perfect, their fun and authentic personalities and their professionalism and skill to get the job done!
These ladies were with us every step of the way executing a COVID friendly wedding that had lots of modifications.
The day of the wedding there was no worry of vendors were going to deliver on time, if things would be set up or if everyone would know what to do because Emily and Meghan were in charge! It was a perfectly relaxed and fun day and they were a HUGE part it making that happen! This duo is your key to a smooth execution of your wedding day... and you may just befriend them along the way!

Simply the Best!

Weddings by Emm helped make my day absolutely perfect. They are amazing listeners and took the ideas I had for my wedding/reception and brought them to life completely. I have been married now for two years and still have people share with me how beautiful and special my wedding was. I simply could not have done it without them. They acted as my Day-of coordinators, but did so much more. Not only did they keep all of us on schedule, they also helped decorate the most beautiful reception, and they brought peace to an otherwise hectic day. You can not go wrong with Weddings by Emm!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
