Caroline M. Sent on 01/01/2024Hire the tenured, inclusive pro- Emily!!!
I can’t say enough about our experience with Emily! Throughout the entire process, she exhibited exceptional organizational skills and a wealth of experience that ensured our special day was nothing short of perfect. Her proactive approach and staying ahead of the game were instrumental in navigating potential challenges seamlessly.
What truly set her apart was her unwavering support and genuine attentiveness. She not only listened to our vision but actively embraced it. Her consistent check-ins ensured we were always on the same page, making us feel heard and valued every step of the way.
In addition to her exceptional skills, her inclusivity was unparalleled. As a same-sex couple, it was incredibly important to us that our vendors respected our identities, and Emily went above and beyond to ensure this. She made sure all our vendors utilized appropriate pronouns and always referred to us as “The Brides” or “the Murphy-Gentrys”, creating a safe and affirming environment for us.
When faced with a challenging situation at our venue, Emily’s dedication and unwavering advocacy on our behalf were evident. She stood firmly by our side as a couple, ensuring our reception unfolded flawlessly despite the obstacles.
Our wedding day was beyond what we could have imagined, thanks in large part to Emily’s expertise, support, and inclusive approach. Her role was instrumental, and we couldn’t have had such a beautiful celebration without her. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a wedding planner who not only delivers exceptional results but also champions inclusivity and support for all couples. Bottom line- hire the TENURED professional! -

Choose emily!
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Emily Bennett for our Dec. 2023 wedding and reception. Emily is an exceptional wedding planner who surpassed all expectations! From the outset, her meticulous organization and wealth of experience were evident, ensuring every detail was flawlessly executed. Her proactive approach kept us ahead of the game, effortlessly navigating potential hurdles. The addition of her day of Assistant, Morgan, was incredible as well. Morgan’s constant support, positive energy, and sweet spirit was an added bonus to our day.
What truly stood out was her unwavering support and attentive listening. She prioritized our vision, always checking in to ensure alignment and making us feel heard. When faced with a challenging situation at the venue, her unwavering advocacy on our behalf was remarkable. Her dedication ensured that our reception was nothing short of magical.
Emily’s expertise, support, and dedication made our special day truly unforgettable. Without her, our dream celebration wouldn’t have been possible. She’s an invaluable asset, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking an extraordinary wedding experience. -

Having Emily was the best best best decision we made for the two tumultuous years of wedding planning during the worldwide pandemic, starting summer 2019 until the summer of 2021. This is probably longer than an average time to work with your wedding planner, but never did Emily ever disappoint us with a single planning component or process. She is obviously detail-oriented and organized, but what differentiates Emily from other planners is that she really enjoys what she does. She was genuinely happy for us when we had our backyard Zoom wedding in 2020, took a cute screenshot of us happily exiting the aisle on Zoom, and said, “This is my favorite picture of you guys!”
At our real celebration with all our friends and family in 2021, she took a lot of amazing pictures and videos on her phone and sent them to us. Not a single thing went wrong on our special day: Emily and her team helped us enjoy our time with our guests and party without worries.
I was in my first years of medical school, which meant that I had less time than other brides. We were also far away from our Long Beach venue, living in the Pacific Northwest. But Emily was flexible with these circumstances and communicated with our photo/video, flower, venue, DJ vendors about the logistics, postponing due to the pandemic, etc., while passing us the baton at the proper time when we needed to make decisions or talk to the vendors ourselves.
I don’t know how other people plan their weddings, but we would not have been able to without Emily. Thank you, Emily and her team, for the amazing work!! -

Emily Bennett was an amazing wedding coordinator. She made sure every detail was perfect to what I was looking for. She had the whole event on target and on time. Everything was so beautiful and loved everything they did to make my day special. -

Den Sent on 07/12/2019Awesome Team!
Where do I start? I'm so glad I chose Emily and her team to coordinate my wedding day. They were nice, hardworking, fun, and especially patient--I had so many questions and requests but they were able to execute what I wanted. They were professional and on point with everything. I was happy with the details they put in, the timeline, and the outcome of it all. The team consisted of Emily, Amanda, Candace and Kylie--super sweet and helpful gals. Amanda was awesome in the sense that she was with us when we were taking family photos and made sure everything was in order. Although there were so many vendors suggested by Nixon, I decided to go with Events by Emily when a friend recommended her to me. Even though my wedding had its own Vietnamese customs and vendors, Emily was able to cooperate and communicate with them without any problems. This was a major plus because that showed she had versatility in who she's able to work with. In the end, everything turned out beautiful and the way I wanted. I was very happy with her and her team. -

Belinda G. Sent on 07/31/2019We all need her at our wedding. You just don't know it yet.
After interviewing and speaking to 4 coordinators, we weren't set on a coordinator until we discovered Emily through YELP. We loved the packages and prices she had to offer, we loved speaking to her over the phone, and we signed with her because she felt like someone that we can trust. We did the day of coordinating option, and leading up to the day of the wedding, Emily was very helpful with recommending vendors and was very quick in responding to emails. Our bridal party and family members met Emily on Rehearsal day and everyone was asking me who she was. Like, hellooooooo, she's our coordinator (hair flip). Everyone lOVEEEEED her. Emily and her team came THROUGH for our wedding. I'm no expert in wedding coordinating, but I felt like coordinating a wedding like ours would be a pain in the butt. Our wedding was set on the beach in Salt Creek Beach, and we basically built a venue from the ground up. We had a ton of vendors that they had to deal with BUT our beach wedding was no match for team Emily. Everything went smoothly in my eyes, and the day was PERRFECT thanks to Emily and her team. The only problem we had leading up to the wedding was with a florist that couldn't create our arch vision and deliver the flowers. Thankfully, Emily had a solution for us, and got us another Florist that was willing to help... LAST MINUTEEE! We almost didn't hire a coordinator but looking back we are SOO glad we did. Events by Emily was by far the best investment we made for our wedding. -

Where to even begin! :)
I met Emily and her team through my sister in law. She had used Emily as her wedding coordinator and said I HAD TO HIRE EMILY.
I thought I was a pretty organized and creative person, but Emily was above and beyond organized and amazing! She made everything I hoped and dreamed for my wedding more than I could ever ask for! She took every little bit of information I gave her and created a magical wedding day! She thought of the things I forgot, and added her own twist on decor, placements for things that I was unsure about. We had an initial meeting and then a couple meetings right before the wedding to finish up our custom timeline, and all the information about every vendor.
Emily then took over everything for me! She contacted each vendor and gave them contact info and the timeline. She made sure everyone knew when to be at the venue, and what my vision was. :)
She is truly one of the most genuine and selfless people I know. She puts her heart into her work and makes sure your vision of your wedding is exactly what you hoped for if not better. :)
Along with Emily being amazing her two assistants that came with her were phenomenal as well! I had Amanda and Kumary and they both were on top of everything! Amanda was awesome at making sure guests didn’t see us before the wedding during our “first look”. They took care of moving gifts and decorations to our cars after the wedding (all the little stuff you don’t think about when you’re saying bye to all your guests).
Overall I couldn’t be more pleased and happy with how Events by Emily worked for my wedding!!! She has become my families event coordinator and a family friend!
If I could leave more than 5 stars I would! Emily is an amazing person. She’s personable, respectful, hard working and professional.
Thank you all so much for an unforgettable wedding day! Love you all! -

Carter M. Sent on 07/09/2019Best Decision!
Emily and her team are amazing, she did such a great job and I couldn't be happier. Because of her and her wonderful team my husband and I got to enjoy and actually experience our wedding instead of running it. She even took care of moving the ceremony indoors as it rained on our day.
From the consultation to mid appointments at the venue and day of Emily handled it all. What really stood out to me is that she took care of contacting our vendors for everything day of, a few weeks out. This took loads off of us and allowed us to spend more time with our families, several of whom flew from out of town. As I mentioned it rained on our wedding day and Emily stayed calm the entire time while also being clear when we needed to make decisions. Not once did she lose her cool which really helped us stay calm. I can't say enough good things about how professional she and her whole team are. Do yourself a favor and hire her! It was certainly the best decision we made :) -

Emily is the hardest working person I have ever met! She was vigilant about making our wedding day perfect. Not only did she foresee details I would have never imagined on my own, she solved problems before they ever happened! She ensured all of our vendors were on the same page with our vision, and stopped at nothing to make our dreams come true. While watching our wedding video, I saw how hard she truly worked behind the scenes. When she is in the moment you can't even tell how much she is balancing, but when you look back, you will understand everything she did for you! I would hire her for another event in a heartbeat! -

Mary Sent on 12/22/2018Emily is the best
My daughter and son-in-law got married in November and Emily and her crew were the backbone of the entire wedding day! I'm so happy I found Emily, she is a real pro. She was so knowledgable about every single aspect of the wedding. We found all of our vendors on our own, but as soon as we hired Emily she started communicating with all of them and making sure every one of them had all of the correct details for the event. Meeting with her to plan the day was so essential. She has a wealth of knowledge and is very detail-oriented. She is so Top Notch at every aspect of wedding planning. Her team worked so hard on the wedding day to make sure the the day was perfect... and it was! I would not hesitate to recommend Emily to anyone and everyone, especially any Mother-of-the-Bride who wants a worry-free day! Thank you, Emily! You are truly THE BEST! -

Roman Sent on 12/25/2018Best decision in our wedding was hiring Emily!
We we're originally going to hire Emily for her setup and breakdown service, but we decided to hire her for her full coordination service. Hiring her was the best decision we made. She made our meetings with other vendors go so much smoother and quicker and pointed out a lot of details of setting up our wedding that we would not have even thought of. She made it to where all we had to worry about was just to show up and enjoy our wedding. Emily and her crew took care of all the small little details on the day of the wedding allowing us to just enjoy our day and our guests. -
