Ellie S. Sent on 10/08/2023The BEST experience
We used the full service package and I can confidently say that choosing Emily & Rebecca was the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. From beginning to end, they listened to all my worries, answered my endless questions, and kept me calm and focused. We live out of state, so their help was invaluable in identifying venues and vendors and basically planning everything while we weren't there. They know the BEST vendors, and it's clear how much the vendors love them and love working with them which makes me whole planning process and day of feel so much easier and seamless. While planning, I felt like I was never able to fully verbalize or even visualize what I wanted, but Emily took my endless ramblings and created the wedding of my dreams. She knew exactly the look and vibe I wanted even though I was often indecisive and bounced around from idea to idea. Aside from the incredible job both Emily and Rebecca did, they're both just really nice and fun to be around. I am sure the day of our wedding was stressful for them, but you would have never known. They were both such calming and steady presences for us throughout the day. Everything went off without a hitch and it's truly all thanks to them. They gave us one of the best days of our lives and I could not recommend them more. Hire them! -

We used Emily's full service package for our wedding and it could not have been a better experience. I live out of state and work busy hours, and she was always flexible to either meet with me over Zoom or work with my parents in the area. Emily is extremely organized and always kept me on track. She was able to connect us with amazing vendor options and gave us her honest opinions. I came with a rough idea of what I wanted my wedding to be, and Emily was able to turn that into a full-fledged reality. She seemed to know what I really wanted even if I didn't say it! Everything went so smoothly the days leading up to and the day of; if there was anything that went wrong I certainly didn't know it! -

Melanie B. Sent on 10/20/2022Amazing Events Management
We chose the Events Management package and worked with Rebecca for coordination of our wedding at The Cookery. From our very first consult meeting, Rebecca was incredibly reassuring that the Events Management package was right for us, even though we were planning from states away. She was always prompt to respond and willing to accommodate meeting with us either virtually or in-person when we traveled into town. When we had our first 6-week out planning meeting, she had already familiarized herself with our vendors, and promptly started coordinating arrival/drop-off times with them to get our wedding day timeline started. She ensured that everything matched our vision, and that our day went off without a hitch. Rebecca's organization and attention to detail took away so much anxiety leading up to our big day, allowing us to enjoy time with one another and all of our friends and family. We would recommend Rebecca and the Events by Emily team to anyone looking for high quality wedding coordination and a team that's a joy to work with!Events by Emily's reply:

My husband and I hired Rebecca as our wedding coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding at Duke Gardens! We chose the event management package, and started working closely with Rebecca about six weeks before our wedding day. She quickly got up to speed with all our vendors, and worked with us to ensure that no detail was overlooked. Her calm, upbeat manner, professionalism, organization, and incredible attention to detail made her wonderful to work with. I fully expected to be very stressed out the week before our wedding day, but thanks to Rebecca I felt relaxed and could enjoy the anticipation knowing that everything was taken care of. On the day of our wedding she made sure everything was set up exactly how we planned it, and didn’t miss a single detail. She also did a beautiful job getting everyone in the wedding party to be where they needed to be and keeping everything on schedule. I can’t think of a single thing about our wedding that could have gone any better, and that is due in no small part to Rebecca and Events by Emily. -

We got to work with Rebecca for our downtown Raleigh wedding as a month-of coordinator. She made those last few (hectic!) weeks easy for us. Easy to work with, highly responsive, professional, and truly loved being a part of our wedding! We would choose Events by Emily again if we had to do it all over.Events by Emily's reply:
Thank you so much, Anna! I really appreciate your kind words, and I loved working with you & Matt! Many many congratulations to you two!! -

Connor D. Sent on 02/03/2020A talented and wonderful wedding planner
We had an extremely positive experience working with Emily. We hired Emily through her partial wedding planning service and felt incredibly supported by her throughout the process. Partial planning was a great option for us. We knew we wanted to take a more active role with vendors, but we were able to save many hours of research with her recommendations and timelines. We were able to be (relatively) relaxed since we knew Emily would not let any detail slip through the cracks. Emily is a professional project manager that is both detail oriented and careful to make sure that the wedding matched our shared vision and personality. Her tailored vendor recommendations, meetings, budget management tools, day-of coordination, checklists, and timelines took what felt like an overwhelming task and broke it into manageable parts. She saved us potentially hundreds of hours of research and gathering of quotes from vendors. Also, vendors love working with her. I would strongly recommend Emily for any event planning but I think she is especially skilled at planning weddings. She knows that planning weddings requires extra attention to managing relationships with family and certain details that make the day feel truly special and one of a kind. The other thing to point out about Emily is that she in addition to being professional, detail-oriented, and highly capable, she is also a wonderful, cool, and funny person. It's a little bit strange to admit, but now that we're married, we miss our meetings with Emily. Partly because they were always productive and it was exciting to see the pieces come together, but also because she's a great energy to be around. I can't recommend her highly enough. Do yourself a favor and hire Emily to plan your wedding or next event.Events by Emily's reply:

Emily and Rebecca are incredible at what they do and as an added bonus, are fun to be around. Our wedding went off without a single hitch, many thanks to their guidance and meticulous organization. I never felt stressed the day of the wedding knowing I was in their very capable hands. We had an amazing time and LOVED working with Emily and Rebecca! -

Caroline N. Sent on 09/22/2020Emily is Pure Perfection
Emily is like this balancing energy. She handles things and keeps her cool, while also making everything super fun and pulling things off without a hitch. Getting married during a pandemic would have been 100x more stressful had it not been for Emily. She knew the best vendors and brought my vision to life perfectly. Plus she managed some very difficult family dynamics and made sure that we (the couple) were happy above all else. You won’t find someone with better energy and creativity. I wish Emily could coordinate everything in my life!Events by Emily's reply:
Thank you Caroline!! :) This is so wonderful to read. I miss you and Michael already! I hope to stay in touch Xx -
