    Simply the best!

    We were grateful to have found Emerald Engagements to be our wedding coordinator and Carly for design services! We opted for the partial planning package because we had some things under control, but I am so grateful that Carly and Grace were on our team to help guide us through all the other things! Carly helped us find our Floral, Rental, Hair and Makeup, and DJ vendors, all of whom were incredible! Carly and her team were impressively fast on responding to all our emails and questions and overall provided us with exceptional tools, resources, and advice to plan our wedding, which was especially helpful as we were not local. Her online planning portal helped us track our budget,...

    Carly and Emerald Engagements are fantastic!

    When my fiancée and I started planning our wedding, I knew having a wedding planner was my top priority, so I spent a ton of time trying to find the best. I went through, Yelp, The Knot, Wedding Wire and just about every list I could. I compiled a list of all of the planners and ranked them by rating/recommendation. Then I went to their websites for pricing information and ranked them again by price and rating. I spent days sifting through all of these planners. Then I sent emails to 5 of them asking for information/to set up a call. I chose the 3 that responded the fastest and my fiancée (now wife) and I set up a...

    Carly was the best!

    Carly was absolutely amazing. Hire her! Seriously, you won't regret it. We made a spreadsheet comparing 12 different wedding planners in the Seattle area, interviewed 3 of them, and Carly won in all categories. She was sharp, knew the wedding business, and had all the contacts to be able to get us amazing vendors for our wedding. She *made* our wedding weekend! She coordinated our Friday Welcome Party, Saturday Wedding, and Sunday Fun Day event. She thought of questions to ask vendors that I would have never dreamed to ask. Just one of many examples: the venue for Friday night told us that the cups they used were plastic. OK right? NO. Carly asked for a picture and they...

    Amazing coordinator for a stress-free wedding!

    I booked Carly with her wedding management package. To be honest, I was hesitant to book a planner at first because of the cost, but from our first consultation, I could tell that Carly knew what she was doing. With the amount of stress we were going through, we knew we had to book her to help us. Right off the bat, she sent us her resources that helped guide us through our planning process. She was always quick to respond to my emails and gave me advice and suggestions whenever I needed it. When things started to pick up on the month of, we were in constant communication and she brought up so many things that I didn't...

    Super fast, super responsive, super team! Emerald Engagements has my highest recommendation!

    We hired Carly & Emerald Engagements as our day-of-coordinators for our wedding day & rehearsal dinner. They did an absolutely phenomenal job from our first email exchange through our entire wedding day.

    My (then) fiancé and I reached out to Carly roughly 4 months before our wedding*(context at the end), where she had been recommended to us by another vendor. She quickly set up a chat with us to learn where we were in the wedding process and share advice on next steps. Carly then set us up with some fantastic resources such as Google Sheets to organize our vendor list & day-of timeline.

    About a month before the wedding, Carly reached out to all of...

    Carly made our lives easier and crafted a beautiful experience

    My now-husband and I live in Chicago and planned a Seattle micro wedding in 4 months. I know. Carly made it possible. On our big day, we had nothing to worry about, we left it in her hands and we got to enjoy the moment. Carly was highly responsive, prompt, and professional. If I were to do it all again, I would change nothing.

    pleasantly efficient, done with perfection

    As a wedding DJ and MC working with a good coordinator makes my job easier and more effective. I witnessed Carly execute a beautiful wedding day from beginning to the very last vendor to leave. All done with grace and extremely delightful to work with.

    Best Wedding Coordinator for our Microwedding!

    Carly was responsive and very informative from our very first conversation. She's very personable, easy to talk to and most importantly made me feel at ease for our wedding day details. For someone as detail oriented as I am, Carly made sure all my ideas and concerns were heard and met. For everything I needed help with, she was there with the answers! The service we chose included one-on-one's and a rehearsal, which I highly recommend. Having her help with timeline, coordinating vendors, and set-up and clean-up was a life saver.

    On our wedding day, Carly had an amazing team who took care of everything! We felt like guests at our own wedding, and I could count on...

    Planning a micro-wedding during Covid-19

    Carly aka Emerald Engagements is excellent at what they do and I highly recommend. My fiancé and I began planning a micro-wedding during Covid-19, and thankfully we found Carly to assist. It was important to us that my father be present for the day. Normally, we would have delayed until the pandemic has passed, but given my father's age that was not an option. Within a month's time Carly assisted us with finding a venue, photographer, florist, etc. No matter how many questions or concerns we had Carly was quick to find an answer or a solution. Planning a wedding is stressful enough and even more so during a pandemic. Carly was thoughtful, responsive, and helped us every step...

    Unique venue? No problem!

    I found my unique microwedding/elopement venue only 3.5 weeks before my desired wedding date. I quickly hired Carly, as she had previous experience working at the location & was recommended by the venue staff. In that short amount of time, I transformed my original bare-bones hotel room elopement into a more elaborate event in a forest which included a ceremony, plated dinner and a movie screening among the stars, and Carly was there to help me every step of the way with all of my last-minute changes and ideas. Her vendor recommendations were great! On my wedding day, I was able to sit back and relax knowing my wedding was in good hands. We really couldn't have pulled it off without her!

    1000% Recommend

    After changing our wedding plans due to covid just a few months before the date, we were so thankful to find Carly. She exceeded our expectations time and time again. I was so impressed with her organization, professionalism, and helpfulness. She made our day go so smoothly and I would recommend her to anyone looking for some assistance with planning and executing their wedding!

    She made our day effortless!

    I would recommend Carly to any engaged couples in a heartbeat! She made our day truly effortless and there is not a thing I would change. She allowed me (the bride) to keep my Type-A personality while helping me give her control over things I really didn’t need to worry about. She was amazing!!! She also did all our flowers and they were so perfect

    Awesome day-of-coordination, worth every penny

    We hired Carly as our day-of-coordinator, and she really was amazing. My partner had been a bit skeptical about spending the money to hire a coordinator, but from the time of our final meeting a couple weeks before the wedding until the end of our wedding (and really, the day after) she totally earned every single dollar we paid. Our wedding was perhaps on the simpler side of things (limited decorations, just over 100 guests, not too many of the traditional events, only a couple vendors) but I was still unsure about how we’d pull it together, never having done anything like this before (as most haven’t). She was reassuring, and also down to earth about asking all the...

    An incredible team!

    It was a bit of happenstance that we found Emerald Engagements & thank goodness we did. Working with Carly + Hannah for our wedding coordination and design was by far the best decision we made. The team at Emerald Engagements was extremely professional, quick to response, calm and considerate, offered solid opinions and advice when asked, and stayed 5 steps ahead of me throughout the entire planning process. Carly's sense of design + experience in the industry made our vision come together not only aesthetically, but also logically (very important). Hannah answered all my questions and made sure to ask the things I was forgetting. The day of the wedding, I was completely oblivious to any bumps or hiccups...

    Carly is the best!

    I recently had a destination wedding, and Carly was our wedding planner.

    Her and her team were PHENOMENAL! Highly recommend using Emerald Engagements. We could not have asked for a better team. We had a destination wedding and everything went perfectly. This would not have happened without Carly and her team. They were with us every step of the way and made sure everything was perfect for our special day.

    If you decide to choose Carly, you will certainly not regret it.

    BOOK HER NOW! You won’t regret it!

    We actually were Carly’s first clients that signed a contract with her way back before Covid was a thing. I knew I needed a day of coordinator but I got so much more than I expected or thought I needed. Carly went above and beyond to not only help me with my details of making sure my vision came together but also made our day run so smoothly. We had one big hiccup on our day (the whole block lost power) and she did everything in her power to help get things on track and making sure we started as close to on time as possible. She helped me take my veil off after the ceremony, always made sure...

    Professional and Personable!

    Carly is AMAZING! I hired her as a day of coordinator but she started helping me before the big day. She made the whole process so smooth and if anything came up or I had questions she was extremely responsive! All of my guests say it was the smoothest wedding they’ve ever been to and I think I owe a lot of that to Carly and her team! If you want a successful wedding or event and no worries, HIRE HER. You won’t regret it!

    Hire this wedding planner!

    Carly did an amazing job planning our intimate backyard wedding in only a couple of months; everything she planned, down to the last detail, was perfect. She provided prompt and thorough communication throughout the planning process and provided a list of recommended vendors then initiated contact based on our budget and preferences. Carly is very friendly and can easily get along with any personality type; we had multiple guests comment on what a wonderful job she did coordinating the event prior to, and on, the big day. She made the big day free of stress - she and her team directed the wedding party, set up and flipped the space for a ceremony and reception, helped gather family, including...

    100% recommend

    Carly and her team coordinated my small wedding during COVID. From the beginning, Carly was very professional and was always quick to respond whenever I had any questions. Caity was my day of coordinator and she was amazing! She checked on my husband and I several times during the wedding, always making sure we were taken care of, which we appreciated so much. We are so glad we chose Carly and her team to coordinate our special day, they were truly awesome to work with. I recommend them 100%!

    Just hire Emerald Engagements!

    We recently worked with Carly for our wedding in February 2021. After deciding to pivot from a destination wedding to a local wedding, I was lucky enough to come across Carly and Emerald Engagements! Carly was super responsive, detail oriented, easy to work with and just awesome. She made our wedding day run so so smoothly and even packed up our car at the end!

    I would 100% recommend using Emerald Engagements for all your wedding planning and coordinating needs!

    Wedding Planning in the times of COVID-19

    My husband and I planned our small, family-only ceremony/dinner during COVID-19. Caity Fahey was our planner/day-of coordinator and she was simply excellent. Not only was she responsive and reliable, but she was exceptionally flexible with all the changes that had to be made as the pandemic evolved. Our wedding day went off perfectly and I could not have been more thrilled to work with Caity. I would absolutely recommend her services and the the services of Emerald Engagements to any couple.

    She’s a god send!!

    I am so incredibly thankful to have met Carly and to have had her through most of my planning process. My wedding is in less than a month and I had to cancel Carly last second because of new restrictions put into place due to Covid 19 and the way that Carly handled this situation with me itself speaks volumes to who she is and how she runs her business. Despite not being able to be apart of the actual day she continued to offer support and kind words and she even gave us a refund when she didn’t need to. She’s so incredibly knowledgeable about weddings and she thinks of all of the things that are so important...

    Fantastic Top to Bottom

    Carly is an absolute rockstar! We debated having a coordinator, but as soon as we met her, we knew she'd be amazing. She was always on top of her stuff (and our stuff!), super organized and reassuring. She gels with different personalities so well and intuitively knew how to be our best partner. On our wedding day, she took care of everything and it was perfect. Carly is the best - you won't be disappointed!

    Could not have been happier!

    They say "you get what you pay for", in regards to Carly and Emerald Engagements, it was worth every penny. A day where typically the bride and groom are mired in stress, we came out the other end having had our dream wedding with minimal effort. All of the behind the scenes work that you are not made privy to on your wedding day would make anyone question whether it is even worth it. We were not told on our wedding day but I was made aware that there were more loose ends than anyone could have anticipated and I know that because of Carly's professionalism and passion, she took on much more than was required without even being...

    Carly is a joy to work with!

    As mother of the bride, I so appreciated Carly's effective skills, energy and winning behind-the-scenes planning. So many attendees said this was the most fun and delightful wedding they'd attended ... and there wasn't a single snag that came to our attention, thanks to Carly! She had a very calming effect on us, and worked tirelessly to help my daughter produce a fabulous and lovely outdoor wedding. I can't praise her knowledge, personality, and skills enough. Thank you again, Carly!!!!!
