  Just do it.

  I contacted Emily about four months before the big wedding day. I was dating my husband long distance - I was in VA and he was in NJ, and it wouldn't be until April that I'd move to NJ and our wedding was end of May. Talk about a lot to coordinate!
  
  Even still, I was on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator thinking "I'll be fine." But, wisely decided to hire Emily because: our wedding invites began to swell (to about 200 or more), there were lots of moving parts (a dinner held at the church, and then a separate reception space located elsewhere) it was less than four/five months away and I was still not in-state able to coordinate with the vendors in person. Looking back, I wish I hired her earlier!
  
  Emily brought to surface important details I would have otherwise missed or thought of too late in the process. She communicated easily, listened, was super detail oriented, organized (loved the timelines, scheduling), AND also acted as my second brain when I needed some recommendations (ie; finding a dj, makeup/hair). She gave suggestions but was not pushy. And all of the details were laid out in a digestible way. She brought structure and peace of mind. I could trust that all the details discussed would be followed through and then some.
  
  We received so many compliments with how smooth and enjoyable our wedding was and I believe a large part had to do with the coordination and magic of Emily, Vince and Events by O9. On the wedding day, I was able to truly be present and enjoy my day with my husband without worrying about something falling through. Without her, I believe everything would've been a bit sloppy. She truly went above and beyond to make all the details right. I don't think it ever hurts to have a coordinator in your corner. If you are considering one, hire them! Thank you Emily!

  We cannot say enough good things about our amazing experience with Events By O9!!!!!
  
  Here is my story. My husband and I were long distance couple, one living in Minnesota and one living in Georgia. Therefore, we considered hiring a wedding planner for our New Jersey wedding. We met Jasmine & Young at Starbucks and our first meeting was very distracting. However, we had a great feeling about Jasmine & Young. They looked confident about their jobs, so we signed the contract at our first meeting.
  
  Jasmine & Young are the professionals who are very responsible, detailed, organized, thoughtful, and caring. We chose all of our vendors through them.. guess what.. all vendors did AMAZING jobs!! Although my husband and I had a hard time planning our wedding away from New Jersey, we were able to make our wedding unforgettable because of Jasmine & Young.
  
  We would like to say thank you for providing your great support and experiences to make our wedding more beautiful and unforgettable.

  EVENTS by 09 was the one and only place I went to when choosing flowers for my wedding. The entire process was so incredibly smooth from the day I met Jasmine and Emily to the day I met the team on the wedding day. When I first met Jasmine, I went in with some photos I liked from Pinterest and right away she started sketching and knew what I had envisioned for my wedding day. They are located in NYC and my wedding was out in Long Island. They dropped off all my bouquets EARLIER than scheduled so that was one less thing I had to worry about on my special day. The quality of the flowers were superb! It was equivalent to the steep priced vendors but without the $$$. The bouquets smelled so nice, even the groomsmen were commenting on it during our wedding party shoot. I would absolutely 100% recommend EVENTSby09 and would use them again for other parties. Thank you so much. No words will ever express how grateful I was and still am for an amazing team. You made my day so special and beautiful.

  I don't have enough positive things to write about Jasmine, Emily and Yung. I hired this incredible team to do my floral arrangements for my wedding and the work was incredible. Jasmine listened attentively to the type of atmosphere I was trying to create and created the most stunning arrangements as well as the perfect backdrop to my wedding ceremony. Despite it being a heavy downpour during my wedding day, the setup was impeccable. She also was accommodating in using flowers that didnt habe strong scents as my father is allergic. I also hired the team to do day of coordination services for my fairly large Indian wedding and they put me at such ease. I highly recommend hiring this team on your wedding day for their high level of professionalism and exceptional service. Thank You!

  My experience with Events By o9 is top notch. Their service to truly understand what a customer wants and needs are great. But that is just the beginning, their were flexible with my time and schedules but were clear in terms of the timeline of what needed tio done. The floral decor were spectacularly done to the smallest of details which showed their passion for desgins. I cannot say enough about how well and reasonable they were in servicing the needs of my wife and I. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone who want an extraordinarily service and decor.

  I hired Events by o9 after booking my venue at the William Vale Hotel and initially just wanted Jasmine to be our "Day of Coordinator", as required by the William Vale. After meeting with Jasmine and her team, we decided to also hire her as our Wedding Planner and Florist / Decor.
  
  Jasmine and her team are the ultimate professionals. They've been in this business for a very long time and the experience put me at ease to let the team drive the work and think through the details. The team does all the heavy lifting and would coordinate meetings at their office with key vendors, making the experience really pleasant and straightforward.
  
  I wanted a few very specific elements of decor and a particular look in the flowers. The team was able to provide samples and make last minute changes when we decided to move the reception indoors the week of the wedding. While I was nervous about not knowing what the centerpieces would like with the last minute change, I was blown away by what team delivered. They really went above and beyond expectations and even the hotel staff commented that it was the most gorgeous wedding they've seen at the venue.
  
  Hire this team - you won't regret it and they are worth every penny and more.

  Emily an Jasmine are truly fantastic. I honestly don't know what I would have done without them during the wedding planning process. As most brides know, wedding planning is a DAUNTING task. There's so much to do and so many details that can easily be overlooked. With Emily and Jasmine, however, I knew that everything was taken care of. We planned together for nearly 7 months, and it was such a relief knowing that they were on my team. Jasmine designed my florals and bouquets and man, oh man, is she talented. She understood my vision and executed on it perfectly. Emily is a gem. She's patient, organized and puts you at ease. I cannot thank them enough for making my dream wedding a reality.

  We hired Events by O9 as our wedding coordinator for our destination wedding. We can not say enough great things about Emily as she helped us through every aspect along the way from guidance on invitations, choosing vendors and all coordination associated with a very challenging location. Emily's experience, organization and attention to detail was top notch, all while making sure to keep our interests as a main priority. Emily handled everything and allowed us to really appreciate our special day. Thank you so much to Emily and Events by O9!

  My husband and I hired Events by O9 for our flowers, and we cannot say enough good things about our experience!
  
  First off, Jasmine and Emily are so wonderful and easy to work with. When we first met, my husband and I didn't have a concrete idea of what we wanted, and came in with loose, unorganized thoughts. They were incredibly patient and helped us talk through our aesthetic and vision. I showed them a few pictures of "the feel" I wanted, and honestly, they ran with it and delivered. Our centerpieces were sooo beautiful, and my bouquet and BM bouquets were perfect! They somehow captured our style of "classic with a unique edge" in our flowers! Love!
  
  Events by O9 is exactly what I needed as a bride. Jasmine and Emily are professional, trustworthy, and stress-free. When it comes to their work, they are clear, confident, and reassuring. It was literally the first time I felt like I could take a step back. I didn't have to check in or worry, I just trusted they would do a great job, and they absolutely did!
  
  I could go on! We can't recommend them enough!

  I was absolutely obsessed with my floral arrangements! Events by 09 exceeded all of my expectations! It was so pleasant working with Jasmine and Emily. They're both so professional and super acommodating to your vision and your budget. I didn't know what kind of arrangement I really wanted but they helped me put together such a romantic piece of work just based on our conversations and details of my wedding. I didn't have to hand hold them through anything; they're so reliable and trustworthy. I can't stress enough how awesome this team is!!

  Jasmine is AMAZING. I don't know what we would have done without her!!
  
  Although we planned the bulk of our wedding by ourselves, we decided that having a day/month of coordinator was one thing that we definitely wanted to have, but a lot of the day-of coordinators out there were charging insane rates. Our photographer, CLY Chung, recommended Jasmine from O9 Events, and after comparing a couple different options Jasmine was definitely the best in both service and value. After our first meeting with her, we booked her on the spot! She was super friendly and enthusiastic, and I could tell that she was very organized. We also loved that she was familiar with our venue, the Harold Pratt House, since it has some peculiarities that might throw off someone unfamiliar with the building.
  
  In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Jasmine and her team coordinated all of my vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page regarding the overall schedule. She was also there for the venue walkthrough and made sure to get all the details straightened out.
  
  On the actual day of, everything went absolutely perfectly!! Everyone was on schedule and everything looked just perfect! Jasmine did an amazing job coordinating both families and the bridal/groom party, most of whom were from out of state/country, and making sure they were comfortable and taken care of. It was seriously amazing to just be able to relax and enjoy the day without having to worry about any details! It was especially nice that she was Korean and able to communicate with our (Korean) parents as well :)
  
  Thank you so so much for making our dream wedding come to life!!

  Emily and Jasmine from Events by O9 are amazing. When planning my wedding, flowers were at the top of my priority list.
  After my first meeting with Emily and Jasmine, I already felt confident that they understood my vision (as vague as it was) and were committed to meeting every expectation. Through all the changes in floor plan and budget, they remained flexible and accommodating and always pleasant in our correspondences.
  On the day of, they were already at the venue prepping everything and I was FLOORED at how beautiful everything came out. They exceeded my expectations and beyond! From the bouquets, to the large floral arrangements, to each centerpiece, every petal was perfectly in place.
  This team is amazing. Even though they're busy almost every weekend, they made me feel like I was their only client. It's so important to feel that you have the full attention of your vendors and they definitely rise to that challenge.
  I would highly recommend Events by O9 to everyone!

  I don't think I would have had my wedding in 2015 if it wasn't for Emily! I have a hectic work schedule so I knew I would need help in planning my wedding. I reached out to Events by 09 in the middle of May (without having much accomplished) and Emily was awesome and provided guidance right away from budgets to vendors to schedules. Emily is very organized and keeps you on track but you never feel overwhelmed by the process. Emily's help was invaluable, she actually saved me money, time and a lot of stress. And, it was great to have someone on your side, who really cared about our vision for the wedding. I am really happy with how everything came together on my wedding day and Emily played a big part in that.
  
  We also asked Emily to be our day-of-wedding coordinator. She took care of every detail and I didn't have to worry about anything. I was just able to enjoy the day. I can't imagine how hectic it would have felt trying to deal with the vendors, the schedule. etc. on my own.
  
  Jasmine, from Events by 09, also created my flowers and she is fabulous! From our initial meeting, Jasmine understood what I wanted and I fell in love with her sketches. The real bouquet, centerpieces and chuppah were above and beyond what I imagined. Many guests commented on how pretty the flowers were.
  
  I highly recommend Events by 09! I can't thank them enough for all that they did to make my wedding special!

  Perfect! That’s the word that we would give Emily and her team for making our special day go flawlessly. We consulted with Emily from the start of our wedding planning and used her as the day-of-wedding coordinator. She helped us get our planning timeline down and told us to think about the ‘gotchas’ that can happen during our wedding. We planned our wedding for a year and was almost done when we received devastating news about our venue. The town of our venue pulled their operating license a week prior to our wedding. No weddings were allowed to occur on property due to the town’s ruling. We were in shock and didn’t know what to do next. Obviously, the first call we made was to Emily and within a day she came to the rescue with a comparable (possibly better) venue that was available for that day and only half hour away from our original venue. Our wedding simply would not have happened if it wasn’t for Emily. She helped coordinate with the vendors to redirect them to the new location and re-planned the day of schedule. Our special day went flawlessly, all guests had an amazing time, and even the vendors were saying how nicely they were treated. All thanks to Emily. Our wedding day was PERFECT. Thank you again!

  A couple who can overcome a venue cancellation a week prior to the wedding day can conquer all! Thank you for being so patient and lovely through some less-than-ideal circumstances! It was so amazing to see your love shine through and in the end, it was such a wonderful day! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review!

  I was hesitant about a day-of-wedding coordinator for my wedding. Emily and her team completely changed my mind. I can't imagine the planning and wedding day going as smoothly as it did without her help.
  
  It all started with the wife being worried about the schedule of events and wanting to find a day-of-coordinator. I, being skeptical, countered repeatedly with "Do we really need someone to manage the day?." Well, I was wrong and (of course) the wife was right. Emily's experience and professionalism made the planning and the wedding day that much better. She helped us think through the day, calm the nerves, set the timeline and coordinated with each vendor on their responsibilities. On the wedding day, Emily made sure both the wife and I had no concerns about guests, vendors, flowers, DJ, the venue, etc. Things were so well organized that throughout the wedding day, my confident response to any hiccups was "Look for Emily, she's thought of this and has it covered." Having the Events by o9 team at my side made every minute amazing.
  
  Highly recommend!

  Contact Events by 09 and hire Emily immediately! I strongly recommend all the brides-to-be to use their service. I had to prepare my wedding in less than 3 months while working full-time. Without Emily’s dedicated work, my wedding would not have happened. Initially I tried to do everything on my own without hiring a wedding planner, but as the wedding day approaches, I realized that DIY was simply impossible for an inexperienced and busy bride like me. When I met Emily first time, I was already in the middle of wedding planning process. Emily offered a customized service to tailor to my special needs. She suggested several vendors such as DJ, wedding cake, wedding favors and calligrapher for place cards. All the vendors she recommended were great, and she gave me enough details on each vendor, but at the same time she was never being pushy and helped me make my own decisions comfortably. She was so organized and touched every detail of the moving pieces and all the pieces were put together magically! The best decision I made for my wedding was to hire a great wedding planner like Emily. The only regret was that I did not contact Emily early enough. If I used her full service, I could have saved so much of time and energy. Emily was truly amazing. She was very personable and professional and always replied to my email within 24 hours. It seemed to me she was working around the clock. She tossed many ideas, did a complete walk-thru of the venue and provided a perfect timeline. As a day-of-coordinator, she made sure everything happens as planned. She was so dedicated to make my wedding the best experience of my life. She treated my wedding as if her own and poured more than 100% of her energy, experience and knowledge. She knew the wedding is once-in-a life-time event and left me great memories. I feel extremely lucky to have Emily on my special day!

  Thank you for this great review! We know how much time and effort (and money!) our couples invest in their big day so it's always great to hear that we were able to lend a helping hand when it was needed the most! Thank you so much for being such a lovely bride and for being so gracious with such a wonderful review! It was so nice getting to work with you even though it was for a short period of time!

  I used Occasion9 for floral and day-of-coordination services. They did a fabulous job and the whole O9 team was great to work with. Jasmine created beautiful floral arrangements and a chuppah based on pictures I brought her and took extra time with meetings and mock-ups to make sure everything was what I hoped for. Emily was my day-of coordinator (and involved in all the floral details) and I cannot possibly say enough compliments about her work. She was incredibly organized and on top of every little detail. She took the initiative to get in touch with all my other vendors early on and made sure everything was on course. She thought of lots of things I hadn't thought of and made my life so much easier in the weeks approaching the wedding, and in particular the day of. I can't imagine the wedding going as smoothly as it did without her help. Overall, O9 provided very personalized services and went above and beyond all my expectations.

  As a guy, I never thought that I would be in charge of taking care of a majority of the wedding preparations (wife was living in a different country with little experience about American weddings). Initially, I thought that it wouldn't be too difficult to take care of all aspects of the wedding myself, but I soon found out how little I actually knew. About 5 months prior to the actual date, I realized that I needed to seek help from a professional and I'm so glad that I came across Emily. After out first meeting to go over the status of the preparations (I had only booked the venue and the photographer at the time), I felt a huge load come off of my shoulders. From that meeting until the day of, Emily was always responsive and helpful with all questions my wife and I had. She made sure that all our concerns were taken care of and coordinated with all the vendors at the wedding so that we didn't have to worry about any of this on the day of. We had such a blast at our wedding and we know that it wouldn't have been as wonderful without Emily's help along the way! I would strongly recommend Emily to anyone looking to make the stressful process of wedding planning more enjoyable and worry-free!!

  I used Emily for my day-of-wedding coordinator services. I have no idea how I would have survived my wedding day if Emily hadn't been there. There are so many seemingly unimportant details that need to be taken care of in order to have a stress free wedding day. We met a couple weeks before the wedding to iron out all the details. She contacted the venue and vendors to discuss arrival/setup times and she created a master schedule/timeline. Things were so well organized in advance that I did absolutely nothing wedding related during that week leading up to my wedding. Everything was already taken care of! My husband and I were really able to enjoy every minute of our wedding day without having to think about anything other than the fact that we were about to get married. Emily is above and beyond fantastic. I strongly recommend her to all of my friends!

  We used Wedding-Day coordination services provided by Emily of Events by O9. We cannot say enough about the amazing experience it was. Emily went above and beyond anything we asked for and she was incredibly helpful from the first time we met to the very last minute of the wedding day. She's extremely professional and knows her stuff. We would show up to meetings thinking we had thought through every detail and she had a whole list of questions and details we had not thought of, which were absolutely essential! She was always responsive to our questions leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, we can hands-down say without a doubt that our day would not have gone SO smoothly without Emily and her assistant. We had a lot of DIY aspects at our wedding and a lot of moving pieces and I have no idea how we could've pulled it off without Emily. She was so calm and cool even through some of the issues that came up and she was so sweet to help me feel better as I got very anxious about the rain that came a bit in the morning. I can go on and on. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Events by O9 to any bride & groom planning a wedding. On the wedding day, you do not want to be thinking about any logistics and details! Wedding coordinators are absolutely necessary to enjoy the day, the biggest day of your lives! Millions of thanks to Emily, Vince and Events by O9!

  I was skeptical about retaining wedding services and I was dead wrong. My wife and I had spent many many weekends in search of the “perfect” catering hall where we would have our wedding. With countless demands from the location to the decor, Emily helped us settled with the perfect venue at the Woodbury Country Club; something we never would’ve visited without her pushing us. All I could say is the services Emily with Events by 09 provided are invaluable. From the level of details to the day of the wedding Emily help streamline the wedding experience and took away all the stress. She was extremely helpful and resourceful and she does know her stuff. She responds promptly, during late evenings and even past midnight. With her help the wedding was spectacular and everybody enjoyed the wedding. I would highly recommend Events by 09 and would recommend working with Emily.

  I have waited far too long to write a review for the wonderful Occasion 9. Dear fellow brides and/or grooms, you cannot possibly go wrong with Occasion 9. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you feel special and taken care of on your day. Detail oriented, very good with communication, and awesomely creative, they will work with your budget to help you realize your vision. I was the crazy DIY bride who folded and glued and sewed much of her own decor in an effort to keep her costs down, and not once did they make me feel that I was a lesser client due to my budget constraints. On the contrary, Emily stayed in constant touch, and provided my now-husband and I with price comparisons along the way, to help us reign in our costs, while also making suggestions on how to get the most bang for our buck. Flowers for every table too expensive? No problem, just a gorgeous floral display (arranged by the very talented Jasmine) to greet our guests as they entered the venue, and a few colored paper cranes scattered tastefully around the votives. They even helped set up and arrange my silly DIY decorations around the venue! Through some magic Emily made my homemade paper votive holders and the disco ball I ordered off Amazon seem whimsical and gorgeous. They also have a fantastic relationship with other vendors in the industry, including photographers, venues, and caterers, who also happen to be extremely nice (I guess like attracts like!) and open to coming up with options to work with your budget, while making sure you and your guests have a wonderful time on your special day.
  If you are planning a wedding, do give Occasion 9 a call. I promise you won't be disappointed!
