Gabrielle A. Sent on 01/16/2023Amazing, prompt, and creative coordinator!
We just got married on 1/14 and hiring Emily was the best vendor decision I made. She was prompt, positive, and immediately jumped into action. We had a lot of complications due to an insane amount of rain and Emily was there to get the job done no matter what. She helped me stay dry so much. We set up the venue before Emily got there and she absolutely elevated the venue and our decorations. She is so incredibly kind, creative, and hardworking. She made sure we were fed, had enough to drink, and that everything was on time. After our big day, I was told that many people who were supposed to help tear down did not come through. Emily, my mom, Maid of Honor, and a couple of other friends ended up doing the entire tear down. I feel awful, but am eternally grateful to Emily. Hire her if you want your day to be stress-free. -

Emily is the best! I hired her and her team as my day of coordinators, and it was probably the best decision I made. My family and I didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day, we got to just enjoy it. There were small mishaps throughout the day but Emily was there on top of it making things run smoothly. I could look at her from across the room and she knew exactly what I needed. Seriously a life saver, if you’re thinking of hiring her, do it, she’s awesome! -

I LOVED working with Emily as a day of coordinator! She was just the best. She helped take care of all the details I simply could not on our big day. She was so kind, responsive, and helpful the whole way. It truly could not have been the same day without her and I recommend her so highly! -

Amazing floral and partial planning/day of coordination!
Emily and her team truly go above and beyond! They made our wedding day perfect! I was so anxious about getting good vendors and making everything go well. Emily was able to make the process so easy and made the party a hit! -

I hired her for our day of coordinator and am so happy I did. She was sweet, communicative, accommodating, and made everything run so smoothly. After I ran out of time with my DIY flowers, she even took it upon herself to decorate my sweetheart table herself with the leftover flowers I had, and it was so beautiful! She goes above and beyond!!! You know you're in good hands when you book her or anyone from Artmingo. -

Emily made our wedding day so special and easy for us! She was prompt, organized, and on top of EVERYTHING. With so much stress and moving parts going on during a wedding, she was an absolute dream to have on our team. Our other vendors also raved about her. I couldn't recommend her highly enough and will definitely book her in the future for any large event -

Alexandra M. Sent on 08/02/2022June 2022 Wedding Success!
I had the pleasure of working with Emily for my June 2022 wedding. After having canceled/postponed my wedding numerous times due to COVID I had high expectations for what I wanted my wedding to look like as far as aesthetic/goals/feel— with the primary focus being on fun. Emily delivered.
I was starting medical school and finishing up teaching HS Biology in a year that was incredibly chaotic and draining— meaning that the time of wedding planning was stressful and overwhelming.
Emily knew exactly what I needed and was able to encourage me in the right direction when it came to planning my event. I also was able to hire Artmingo Blooms for my florals when my florist dropped out at the last minute and was blown away at how well Emily was able to take my vision and make it a reality.
In addition, as with many weddings, there were hiccups. Emily handled those hiccups professionally and managed them in a way that made me as the bride feel not stressed on my wedding day (something that is very challenging to accomplish).
I would recommend Artmingo Event & Design AND Artmingo blooms for your events— I was a very satisfied customer.

Professional, Reliable, Knowledgeable and Lovely
Emily was fantastic to work with as our day-of coordinator. She made sure that we didn't lift a finger during our event, and also kept us supplied with food and drink so that we could enjoy the awesome party that we'd put together! She was flexible to our non-traditional wedding needs and was truly a delight to have with us on our special day. -

Danielle S. Sent on 06/09/2022Emily is a star - Made my wedding day happen!
Emily and her assistant Jasmine truly made my wedding day a success - not sure how I would have even remotely pulled it off without them. I hired Emily as my day of coordinator, which also included two prepping sessions. She really made me feel supported leading up to the big day, and was behind the scenes working some magic day of. Thank you Emily!!!! A few pics below -

Emily for the win!
Emily is a fantastic coordinator. Her energy, enthusiasm and efficiency speak louder than words!
My MOH says she put out a million small fires- I had no idea- and that’s the point- I never knew all the things she did to keep the wedding smooth sailing! Wether you’re an easy breezy bride like me, or require a fine eye for detail and have a particular vision I think you’d be very happy with Emily! -

Emily was such a blessing to work with and was able to help me start from scratch when my original plans were cancelled. She was able to have everything I asked for in the short time of about 3 months. She was extremely thorough and was always quick to respond. I couldn’t have been any happier with how everything turned out -

Catherine M. Sent on 03/22/2022Emily literally saved my wedding day
I hired Emily as a day-of coordinator for my January wedding in Chula Vista and we could not be happier, this woman literally saved my wedding day!!!
We got married during a tricky time because it was during a COVID surge so it ended up being about a 50 person wedding. I had personally arranged everything in advance and it was a pretty simple event as far as weddings go. I hired Emily only about a week or two before our wedding to meet and handle all the vendors I had already arranged on the day of the wedding. I was initially impressed by her professionalism and was excited to work with her.
At 9 am on the day of our wedding I found out there had been A LITERAL FIRE at our venue. The venue was a small nature center and they had some serious issues getting the electricity back on in the facility and taking care of the animals. At that time they told me they could not have the ceremony or reception at the venue unless they were able to get the electrical back up. Ceremony was meant to be at 5 pm, reception at 6 pm, and we would not know the status of the event until 2 pm (at the latest).
While I spent my entire wedding morning hanging in limbo waiting to find out if we would even have a reception at all, Emily jumped immediately to a plan to have the ceremony outside of the airbnb house I was staying in with my husband and our bridal party. I am not kidding when I say she came up with this plan in a matter of ten minutes and she made all the calls to rearrange the ceremony vendors and get them to the new location. Because of Emily’s quick thinking we immediately knew that we would be having a ceremony still and that all our guests could come, even in the event that the venue never re-opened and we would not be able to have the reception. An important point for my fellow brides - my entire family and then some had other ideas about how the plan should change but because Emily was so fast and decisive I easily kept them all at bay with their comments and let Emily lead the front to make it happen. We were extremely lucky bc the Rabbi had actually gotten the wrong date (!!!) and had no plans to come to the wedding until I called her to tell her Emily’s plan! I swear the entire day was like this massive divine intervention and Emily was our saving grace. I can’t thank her enough the day was completely beautiful and perfect and no one remembers the fire, except for how everything turned out better because of it. Our new ceremony location was (much) more beautiful than the original venue, we had the most incredible photos and memorable day.
Our venue got the electrical back on and we were able to have our reception, Emily went ahead of us and had everything arranged perfectly there as well. She was incredible, diligent, friendly and professional every step of the way. She was always busy and finding things to help with that I hadn’t even asked for, she even personally stopped guests from getting in the way of photo and video during the ceremony. Ten out of ten would recommend this company for your big day. -

Teresa R. Sent on 09/21/2022Wonderful Coordinator
Emily is a professional, sweet and very skilled at her coordinating of weddings. We booked her for day of wedding coordinating. She assisted with making sure our vendors were all set, she set up additional wedding items on tables, sweetheart table, welcome table and cake table. She made sure we were on point with our timeline and order of events. I enjoyed having her with us while we took our couple photos and guiding us throughout the evening. She was so sweet, and has a great personality. She contributed to our special day and we greatly appreciate her. Thank you Emily for your kindness. -

Isela Sent on 08/03/2022A joy to work with!
Emily is a hard worker! We hired her after our other coordinator fell through and she didn’t miss a beat. We live in the Bay Area, Emily in SoCal and our wedding was in Paso Robles - and we hired Emily following a video interview and a meeting with my MOH (who lived in the same town as her). She helped make our wedding day run smoothly and was sweet, thoughtful and a true joy to work with for our special day. Her floral was a nice light touch for on our ranch style tables and with my bouquet. -

Travis C. Sent on 09/08/2023Our experience with ArtMingo's day of coordination was marked by communication failures, lots of stress & breaches of contract. We do NOT recommend!!
We hired ArtMingo's Emily for our wedding coordination, expecting professionalism and attention to detail. Unfortunately, our experience was less than satisfactory.
Issues we faced:
1. Emily was consistently hard to contact.
2. Despite paying for an assistant as per our contract, she informed us last minute that she'd be attending alone, breaching the contract.
3. She double booked and cancelled last minute for our rehearsal day, prioritizing another task that was more profitable for her.
4. Due to her missing our rehearsal, there was significant stress and confusion, particularly with our garland/lasso ceremony. It sadly did not turn out as we had meticulously planned, and this was a very special aspect for us.
5. The wedding schedule had numerous errors, causing us to personally address and correct with other vendors.
6. Emily failed to assist or even check-in during our rehearsal day, despite promising to FaceTime us to aid in the process.
7. Many mishaps occurred on our wedding day due to lack of coordination. For example, the bride noticed, while waiting for the ceremony to start, that the petals meant for tossing were not on the chairs. Both the bride and photographer had to ask her two separate times before she finally placed the petal bags on the chairs just before the ceremony started.
However, there were some positives:
1. Champagne was poured before toasts.
2. She assisted in cutting the cake.
3. Instructions for setups were mainly followed, though with mistakes.
In summary, while our wedding turned out beautiful thanks mostly to our supportive circle of friends and other vendors, our experience with ArtMingo was fraught with communication issues, lack of planning, and breaches of contract. We wouldn't recommend their services. Safe travels to those heading to the altar! -

Pictures are worth a thousand words
Wrote so many drafts regarding my experience with Emily. After much thought I figured a picture will show people the lie Emily texted me the day of my wedding. She sent me old covid test. Wedding date was 6/13/2023. Post she sent was date stamped 5/30/2022. Though in text she stated she will refund me she ghosted me for a month and kept my deposit. -
