  We were extremely happy with Emilie's work as our wedding planner. She is thoughtful, responsive and creative. She really made us feel like we were her only client. She strikes the right balance of professionalism and friendliness. We could not agree more with the many reviews offering effusive praise. To put it simply, Emilie is great at what she does.
  
  We were particularly amazed with her detailed and quick responses to questions. She will suggest several options for vendors and ways to handle an issue. She is proactive and will not miss a detail. Many of vendors commented that she used the most detailed schedule they had ever seen.
  
  We would highly recommend Emilie's services and were thrilled that she helped make our wedding day seem so easy. She is a class act that delivers.

  I had the good fortune of meeting Emilie through mutual friends in 2008. I followed her work over the over the next half decade, admiring all the beautiful weddings and invitations she posted on her blog/Facebook page. When at long last, I was faced with the daunting task of getting married, I immediately knew I needed the help from a professional whose work I completely trusted.
  
  While I consider myself a relatively organized and competent person, there is just entirely so much about wedding planning and coordinating that most laymen never realize. It was so comforting to have Emilie there to guide, advise, recommend, and reassure during this entire process. During the final stages of planning, Emilie ensured that everything was delivered as contracted by each of our vendors. Moreover, during the day of the wedding, as far as I had been aware, the day was completely seamless. It wasn't until days after that I realized that at some point, my husband had forgotten his undershirt and socks, and my father had temporarily gone missing during our scheduled family photos.
  
  After months and months of planning, and a small fortune invested into this day, Emilie is the insurance to the most perfect and wonderful day. I cannot recommend her enough, as I cannot imagine having been able to have had such a magical day without all her hard work, attention to detail, and excellent rapport with our other vendors.

  I've heard many nightmare stories that things go wrong on the wedding day, but that did not happen to me! All thanks to Emilie! The wedding was perfect just how I envisioned it leaving me a lifetime of wonderful memories! Even the hotel coordinator commented "thank god Emilie is here to pull everything together!"
  
  I was clueless where to start for wedding planning, my hubby bought me two books and these hundreds of pages made me stressed out even more. Right then I decided that I need a wedding planner. I hired Emilie as my DOC, it may sound like she's only the help of the day, but trust me that's not the case. The contract includes 2 in-person meetings (mainly a few weeks prior to wedding to go through detail), unlimited email contact, monthly check-ins, produce day of timeline, contact and coordination with all vendors, misc setup items, and unlimited time on the day of. Those monthly checklists are much abbreviated, tailored to me and logical version compared to the book. Throughout the planning phase, I emailed her whenever I had a question and would get a response within half an hour! Emilie is very responsive!
  
  The two meetings prior to wedding really made the entire planning seem as a whole, all the doubts, uncertainty and insecurity while I planned for each part is gone and put together just like a film. The day came and gone, whenever I look at the pictures and videos, they remind me how perfect that day is. Emilie made my dream wedding come true.

  We worked with Emilie on our 8/31/13 wedding and I cannot tell you how professional, organized, helpful and truly amazing she was throughout our entire process. We had found her via Yelp about a year before the wedding and after a short face to face meeting, I knew this was a great choice! From that meeting on, it was so helpful receiving checklists from her each month just to make sure we were on track with our plans. After learning Emilie was a fantastic graphic designer, we also took advantage of her creative and printing services. She did absolutely every single printed piece for our wedding from the Save the Dates to invitations to escort cards to thank you notes. Everything! It was so great to have one look carried over through all of our pieces and people raved about our designs for each piece!
  As the wedding got closer we talked more and more about details and during a longer meeting went through a minute by minute timeline, which was just so helpful. In the days leading up, Emilie and I were in regular contact ironing out details and she was so helpful with even the smallest, most annoying (I'm sure) questions I had!
  As wonderful as she was in the lead up to the big weekend, it was from the rehearsal on that really blew me away also. Emilie organized our rehearsal, which was such a huge help and was there very early on the wedding day getting all of the set up items arranged, directing traffic of the vendors, helping to predict weather even! ha ha Once the wedding started, if anything went wrong, I certainly didn't know it. It was absolutely seamless. It was by far the best day of our lives and we would not have survived without Emily! :) :)

  Five stars are inadequate for "rating" Emilie's work, which is perfection.
  Some detailed reasons below:
  1) Unparalleled professionalism. Emilie is a pro, short and simple. She will put you (her client) at complete ease, and she will earn your trust and faith (and maintain them) via her actions. My husband and I are not ones to be easily satisfied; but after our first meeting and a couple of e-mail interactions, we naturally began to rely on her more, and well before the wedding, we found ourselves completely comfortable just trusting her 100%. And it was such a refreshing feeling to be able to delegate, knowing she would do a BETTER job than we would.
  2) Genuine passion. Those who are superb (superb, not just excellent) at what they do, are able to do so because they genuinely care. Emilie's true love for and dedication to her job shines through.
  3) Execution. She executes, 200%. And the deliverable? A beautiful wedding straight out of your dreams. I had communicated with Emilie how I envisioned the set-up to be (for the placecard table, cards, reception tables, etc). Not only did she give such helpful input in set-up planning, but on the day of the wedding, what I saw was even beyond my expectations. All I had done was sit back and enjoy the wedding with my loved ones. I kept telling my friends and family: "The wedding was more beautiful than I had imagined possible; it was perfect." So much of that was thanks to Emilie's work.
  Brief summary:
  - Emilie is is one of the very best investments we made for the wedding planning process. We do not spend easily, so thought about this a long time before contacting her, but now, we are SO glad that we did. You will say the same thing in the end.
  - So many guests, and especially vendors, spoke to us about how exceptional Emilie was. She made a difference, and she made an impression; we were not surprised. The vendors are now recommending her to their clients, and we think this is for the benefit of these clients.

  Hiring Emilie is probably the best way you can spend your money on your wedding day. From start to finish she is the consummate professional and she will completely take all the weight off your shoulders. Even though I hired her for day-of coordination, she was helpful long before the wedding with checklists and seemingly instant replies to any of my questions, no matter how silly or complex. She made sure we had thought of everything and handled alot of stuff herself. And then on the wedding day itself she was unbelieveable. Every question or request my family or I had, she was way ahead and either had a plan or had already taken care of it. Things just appeared where they needed to be. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of. And all that is maybe easy enough when you have a straightforward or "typical" wedding, but ours had a complicated timeline, many moving parts, two ceremonies, and a minor natural disaster on top of all of it (our tent flooded!). Throughout it all Emilie was cool as a cucumber and handled everything. As a bride, knowing that she's got it made it so that I could enjoy the day even with the inevitable snafus.

  We hired Emilie from Pink Orchid Weddings for our day-of planner at our wedding at the Four Seasons in Boston on 6/9/12. Initially, we did not want to hire a day-of planner...we figured it was probably not worth it, but a friend convinced me I would feel very relieved to have the help. I fully admit that I was completely wrong in my initial thinking... and hiring Emilie from Pink Orchids was the best decision we made on this wedding! It was 200% worth every penny...she was phenomenally helpful...she recommended vendors during the wedding planning stage (all who ended up amazing, by the way), she put together the the most thorough and impressive schedule I have ever seen for the day (and made sure we stuck to that schedule, without being bossy or assertive), and she put out a few fires on the wedding day that I didn't even notice b/c she was there....she was patient, classy, great with our family and wedding party, and super on top of things. She is seriously a PRO. She even helped us design our menu cards, seating cards and gift bag welcome notes and they came out great!! I would HIGHLY recommend Pink Orchids without a doubt...you won't regret it. I promise!

  From the very start I was incredibly impressed with Emilie's professionalism and organization. She was sweet and it was clear she was great at what she does! She made the wedding planning process a lot less stressful. She was quick in responding to e-mails and always was a few steps ahead of me. She provided me with information I needed before I even had to ask for it. I found that Emilie covered all of her bases and provided me with multiple suggestions and solutions when I asked her questions. She helped with things outside of her scope of work – like printing an escort card for us when we had a late RSVP the week of the wedding. Early in the process, when I asked her for vendor recommendations she not only provided me with a list but also with contact information and her own experiences with them. On the weekend of our wedding, it became very clear that we could not have done it without Pink Orchids. Emilie became not just our wedding coordinator but our confidant- I also looked to her for advice on whether to have a sweetheart table, where to place favors, etc. She was always pleasant to be around and impressed me, my family and friends with her work ethic and efficiency. She truly went above and beyond. Emilie is terrific and accommodating. It was no surprise that all my vendors already knew her, loved her and enjoyed working with her. If you want everything to go smoothly and feel confident that you day will be perfect- hire Emilie. Our wedding was just a few days ago and in addition to friends and family wishing us well and telling us how lovely everything was -- we have continuously heard how great our planner was. Hiring pink orchids to be a part of our special day was the BEST decision I made (besides saying yes to marrying my husband!)

  Emilie is incredible. I cannot say enough. She thinks of EVERYTHING and is always 18 steps ahead of the game. Leading up to the wedding, she made sure everything was going to be exactly how my husband and I wanted, but more importantly, on the actual wedding day, we all would have been lost without her! Any time I needed something, she was there- and she must have stitched up my dress for me 5 times... Before we hired Emilie, we were hesitant about hiring any sort of wedding coordinator, but thank GOD we did! There is no way to be prepared for all of the pieces that make up a wedding, unless Emilie is there to prepare you. In addition, she helped my mother-in-law plan the most amazing rehearsal dinner. And according to my mother-in-law, she was absolutely, indisputably, indispensable.

  Emilie is great! She understands my needs, culture concerns, and can give me valuable suggestions. We had two meet-ups, and she sends me monthly checklist through the year, which is very helpful. She's prompt on answering questions. She always keep your needs on mind. Before the big day, I have a timeline and a wedding detail form which contains every detail of the wedding. Really, every detail. On the big day, I barely had chances talking to her, but everything is in place and perfect. I highly recommend her. And I feel that I got more than the price I had to pay for.

  Pink Orchid Wedding was the best investment I had made for my wedding in Boston. Emilie was more helpful then I could have imagined. The day ran completely smooth with all her efforts - she helped me with everything from beginning to end. No detail was left unseen. The vendor recommendations provided by her were amazing.
  I have recommeneded Pink Orchid to all my friends getting married and will continue to always.
  Emilie - thank you above and beyond for everything. My wedding would definitely not have been possible with you!

  Emilie is hands down the best, most organized vendor I worked with for my wedding. I booked Emilie early in the process as I knew I wanted a day of coordinator as I had two locations for the ceremony and reception. I did interview several coordinators (some lower priced) but decided on Emilie because of her organization, professionalism and great reviews. Early on, I was thinking Emilie's prices were reasonable even though originally my friends/family were wondering if I needed it (even though I knew I did as I wanted to enjoy the wedding). As the wedding date grew nearer and nearer, I felt that her prices were extremely valuable and if anything I got a major bargain considering the quality of the services I received. Looking back I feel that it was the best money I spent for my wedding hands down and she was definitely the best vendor I worked with. First of all, she is incredibly timely and responsive and email communication was included in the price. I can't say how many times I emailed her with a small question late at night and I would get an answer in under 10 minutes, that is an amazing turnaround time. She was always there, she always knew what was going on, I never had to refresh her as to my plans and always felt like I was her only customer. She had great vendor suggestions, great logistics suggestions, song choice help for our Korean ceremony and always supportive. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she kept me on track with the million details that needed to be set. Even though I might have felt stressed getting them to her, I also felt assured that once handed off, I would not have to worry about them on my special day. She was amazing with every interaction. She was my advocate with all my vendors and I didn't have to be. She responded to things that came up with ease and grace and only consulted me if she felt that it was something I needed to know. Even when my JP forgot my readings, Emilie found them online, transcribed them at the ceremony site. She handled my tips, let me know when I wrote out a check to the wrong name, was pinning the boutineers on my groomsmen, family, ran our rehearsal, and basically coordinated every last detail (and I had many details) with absolute perfection. She kept all the vendors on schedule which is not an easy feat. On top of that, she is sincere, makes everything look easy and I felt she was a great friend on the most stressful and most beautiful day of my life. I can't say enough how grateful I am for her services, I really felt like I made it through the day in big part to her amazing coordination skills. She is extremely detailed but very easy to get along with among the vendors and my family and wedding party. Our groomsmen loved her so much they were chanting "Emilie!" by the end of the night! My mom was saying that she didn't understand in the beginning why I wanted a coordinator so bad and toward the wedding, she was saying she was so glad I got one and she was so glad it was Emilie. I think I even heard my mom tell her that I was so relieved to have her on the wedding day. Our guests thought everything was executed beautifully. Emilie, thank you so much, you were such a huge part of the success of our whole day. I have never seen anyone work as hard as you, 12+ hrs the day of our wedding, two sites and a Korean ceremony. We are forever grateful for the large role you played in executing a beautiful wedding. Do not hesitate to book Emilie if you want peace of mind and are a perfectionist, I guarantee it will be the best money you will spend!

  Emilie was the best money we spent and in our budget!! A lot of day planners were crazy expensive and Emilie, while pricey was definitely one of the more reasonable ones. She was AMAZING. We got married at The State Room and while they had a coordinator, that person only worked within the walls of the venue. I needed help with day of scheduling, confirmation with vendors, organization, all of the above. Emilie was incredibly professional from our first meeting and extremely thorough. She is very detailed, scheduling everything out in 15 minute increments. She was responsive to every email I sent and kept me on a timeline during the weeks up to the wedding. On the day of, she came to our room, worked with the photographer on setting up pictures, steamed my dress and the bridesmaid dresses, helped the boys get dressed...she was AMAZING. She worked very well with the vendors, confirming timing, etc. She stayed with us all night at The State Room and kept us on track and the night moving smoothly. She was incredible at the end of the night, ensuring each guest got safely on the bus to get back to hotels during a snow storm! We loved Emilie and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!

  Emily was the best gift to me as the mother of the bride. She is remarkable! She accomplished everything we asked (and more) without being pushy...so unlike those awful TV examples!!!! So easy to work with.
  
  Although we took the day of only plan she was always available in the pre-wedding phase for advice and recommendations...all wonderfully helpful! She responded to all my e-mails quickly and even had telephone conversations if needed.The meeting we had with her prior to the wedding were exceptional...professional, on point, detailed.The day of...she was a God sent! I cannot imagine what it would have been like had we not hired her...not any planner, HER specifically. We love Emily!

  We hired Emilie as our DOC after I realized that I wanted to enjoy my wedding day rather than worrying about all the details. Emilie was way more organized than I could have imagined and had every minute of the day scheduled and every aspect perfectly coordinated. We had a few snafus such as inclement weather and the liquor company underestimating the appetites of our guests, and she handled all of them before I even had time to worry about it. There is no way the day would have gone as well or that I would have had as much fun if it were not for Emilie. She even set up some of the decor like the guest book table and our sweet heart table which looked amazing and just how I had envisioned. Because of her my guests and I had a blast at the wedding and the whole day was everything I had imagined. Thank you for everything Emilie!!!

  We booked Emilie at Pink Orchid Weddings about 10 months before our August 20, 2011 wedding date at the Lenox Hotel. Although the venue itself had coordinators provided with our package, we knew we needed an outside person who would always advocate for us. I plan events for a living, so although I felt confident I could plot all the details, we needed a trustworthy person to execute the day-of activities.
  
  As a same-sex couple, we are always a little wary when meeting new vendors. Emilie was so excited right off the bat. She made us feel like we were her only clients -- from the time we booked with her, till the day we got married. For the months leading up to our wedding, she was always available through email. She was extremely responsive, and gave us valuable, honest, and to the point advice.
  
  It’s no exaggeration to say we’re not sure how we could have had the wedding we did without Emilie. Her professionalism, attention to detail (wait till you see her details and timeline documents!), punctuality, and general demeanor assured that our wedding went off smoothly. We received so many compliments from guests about how impeccably organized and seamless everything was. We’re so grateful to Emilie for ensuring that our guests (and my husband and I!) had an unforgettable evening.
  
  Book her. She’s incredible.

  My wedding was stress-free because of Emilie! She was amazing to work with. I booked her over a year before my wedding for day-of service, but she offered unlimited email communication and I completely took advantage of that. Any question I had, she had an answer to within a matter of 20 minutes! At our final walk-through, she asked questions I would not have thought of and took over calling every single vendor of mine to confirm everyting. Not only did she confirm place and times, but she got the names and cell phone numbers of all our transportation drivers (3 guest shuttles, 2 limos, and a party bus) and spoke with each of them individually! It was SO nice to be able to know everything was in her hands and not have to stress about details - we handed her the marriage license at rehearsal and didn't have to think about it! She called me the morning of just to see how everything was going and ended up stopping by my house where I got ready to say hi! Then she went to my venue to help set up, and met us at the church in time to coordinate the ceremony! She was amazing at the reception - no one knew she was even there - but was on top of EVERYTHING. She found me to tell me my photographers were leaving in 20 minutes and asked if there were any other pictures I wanted.
  
  Definitely the best money we spend. My mom and husband were skeptical at first - but they both have said they couldn't imagine the day going smoothly without Emilie! Our wedding was stress-free because of her (which is unheard of in my family)!

  Through out the wedding week, I cannot count how many times I said the words "I love Emilie"... "I love this girl"... "What would I have done without her...". Words cannot express how fortunate my husband and I were to have hired Pink Orchid Weddings (Emilie).
  
  I first met Emilie in 2010 during my good friend Martha's wedding and witnessed first hand the great work Emilie produced. It wasn't until my actual wedding that I REALLY understood how much goes into her job and how good she is at what she does.
  
  While my wedding was in Boston, I planned it from Philadelphia. I consider myself a relatively organized and relaxed bride, but even I managed to fall victim to the stress of planning a wedding. Even with the random curve balls that were thrown at Emilie (last minute vendors being added 3 days before the wedding, trolley companies backing out,...etc) Emilie always kept her cool and helped me prioritize and organize myself.
  
  While professionalism and attentiveness are just a couple of the many positive traits that she will showcase when you work with her, what it all boils down to is that she is simply a truly good person who loves her job. For example, after a long wedding day. Emilie went above and beyond her duties and gave the exhausted bride (me) a lift to the hotel. While it is strange to say I went home with my wedding coordinator, it honestly was not weird at all! While this is by no means part of her job, it just demonstrates how dedicated she is to her job and how thoughtful of a person she is.
  
  I highly recommend Pink Orchid Weddings. I can honestly say that my wedding would not have been nearly as memorable if I did not have Emilie there by my side.

  From my first meeting with Emilie I knew that she was the perfect choice to make sure our wedding day went exactly as planned. To say that Emilie is detail-oriented is probably an understatement - she is truly one of the most organized people I have ever met, and that is EXACTLY what you want in a wedding coordinator! On my wedding day I was truly able to relax and know that everything was taken care of right on schedule. We were all very impressed with Emilie's friendly, calm, and professional demeanor (also important qualities in a wedding coordinator!) and honestly our day went off without a single hitch. Thank you Emilie for helping to create the best day of our lives!
  Love,
  Carrie and Chris

  We have nothing but raves for Emilie and her team at Pink Orchid Weddings. We hired Emilie several months prior to the big day, and she was extremely responsive to our email questions about vendors, advice on various aspects of the wedding, etc. leading up to our first official coordination meeting one month before the wedding.
  
  Our wedding was on complicated side. It took place on an island in Boston harbor, requiring the scheduling of various vendor boats to transport everything to the island. Emilie offered to take on this task -- making several calls to each vendor and the island staff to make sure all would run smoothly. We hired a bunch of vendors, some requiring some fairly intricate set-up (placement of signage, lanterns and luminaries across the island, lounge areas in our dance tent, etc.) that Emilie kept careful watch over, often suggesting helpful improvements that took other vendors' ideas from good to great. We also had a bunch of DIY projects (photos to be set up on the dock to welcome guests, picnic blankets with games, a fit pit with s'mores, baskets of flip flips, fruit-infused water dispensers, candy tins, etc.) that needed to be carefully set up and taken down by Emilie and her team at various points during the day. We always felt that Emilie cared at least as much about all the little details as we did.
  
  Emilie is incredibly diligent, detail-oriented, experienced, thoughtful and has a wonderfully calming presence. Hiring Emilie is hands down the best money you will spend to make your wedding day go off without a hitch (and the month leading up to it much less stressful).

  After getting engaged and deciding to plan a wedding 3000 miles away from my venue and never having been to a wedding as an adult, i realized that I should probably get some help. I had no idea what really happens during a wedding never mind how to plan a wedding! So I found Pink Orchid through my photographer Shang Chen of Shang Chen Photography who HIGHLY recommended this company.
  I looked through the photos on their webpage and was a little worried that my wedding wouldn't be fancy enough for them but after chatting via email I decided to meet up with Emilie while I was in Boston. I immediately liked her and realized quickly that she placed no judgement on my budget (and mostly DIY) wedding. I hired her as our Day of Coordinator. This was by far the best decision I could have made in my wedding planning process.
  Emilie sent me a monthly checklist to keep me on track during my year long planning process and was always available via email for any questions I had.
  A month or so before the wedding Emilie and I had our first phone consultation (this wasn't an in-person meeting because she's in Boston and I was in CA). We spoke for several hours going over every single detail of my ceremony and reception. After getting all of my details in order she set up this amazing list of all of my vendors and what they were providing me and she personally followed up with all of them. She also provided me with a timeline of events down to the minute! Now, this sounds kind of anal (well, it did to me at first...) but it wasn't. She just had a good grasp on how the day should go and was able to put it all down on paper in an orderly way that I never could have done in a million years.
  The morning of my wedding, Emilie arrived bright and early to our hair appointment and checked in with me before she went to our venue. When I got to the venue she already had everything rolling. She filled me in on what had arrived and made sure that I was doing well. I felt so calmed by her presence, knowing that everything was going to be set up exactly as I had wanted (or better). She worked with my venue coordinator to make sure the food and service went well and worked with my other vendors to make sure that they were providing to me what they had promised.
  Emilie was there to help fix my flower girl's pomander when it broke. She was there when the lunch hour became a little boring and helped moved the timeline along faster to get the dancing started. It's those little things throughout my day that I didn't want my mom or I to think about or stress out about and Emilie made sure that we didn't stress out about anything.
  Emilie helped take down all of the elements that they had put up that morning and had it all packed up in boxes ready to be put in cars. Through set up and take down she was amazing.
  I HIGHLY recommend Emilie and Pink Orchid Weddings for anyone getting married who needs a little (or a lot) of help. The service was a little pricy, but my cross-country planning self needed some reassurance that everything was going to work out that day and it did. My wedding was absolutely amazing and I owe a part of that to Emilie.

  After getting engaged and deciding to plan a wedding 3000 miles away from my venue and never having been to a wedding as an adult, i realized that I should probably get some help. I had no idea what really happens during a wedding never mind how to plan a wedding! So I found Pink Orchid through my photographer Shang Chen of Shang Chen Photography who HIGHLY recommended this company.
  I looked through the photos on their webpage and was a little worried that my wedding wouldn't be fancy enough for them but after chatting via email I decided to meet up with Emilie while I was in Boston. I immediately liked her and realized quickly that she placed no judgement on my budget (and mostly DIY) wedding. I hired her as our Day of Coordinator. This was by far the best decision I could have made in my wedding planning process.
  Emilie sent me a monthly checklist to keep me on track during my year long planning process and was always available via email for any questions I had.
  A month or so before the wedding Emilie and I had our first phone consultation (this wasn't an in-person meeting because she's in Boston and I was in CA). We spoke for several hours going over every single detail of my ceremony and reception. After getting all of my details in order she set up this amazing list of all of my vendors and what they were providing me and she personally followed up with all of them. She also provided me with a timeline of events down to the minute! Now, this sounds kind of anal (well, it did to me at first...) but it wasn't. She just had a good grasp on how the day should go and was able to put it all down on paper in an orderly way that I never could have done in a million years.
  The morning of my wedding, Emilie arrived bright and early to our hair appointment and checked in with me before she went to our venue. When I got to the venue she already had everything rolling. She filled me in on what had arrived and made sure that I was doing well. I felt so calmed by her presence, knowing that everything was going to be set up exactly as I had wanted (or better). She worked with my venue coordinator to make sure the food and service went well and worked with my other vendors to make sure that they were providing to me what they had promised.

  Fiona is the most amazing, calm, put-together day-of coordinator ever. At every meeting she was so organized, listened carefully and took notes to make sure all the details we cared about were taken care of and helped us think about things we wouldn't have without her prompting. On the wedding day, she was on top of everything and everything that we talked about happened. It was like magic! My guests and my husband and I had a truly wonderful day-of experience and it wouldn't have been possible without her! Thanks, Fiona!!

  Pink Orchid Weddings Provided our day of wedding coordination. Starting from our first meeting 9 months before, I knew we were in good hands. Each month we received a monthly checklist to help us keep on track. I'm a very detailed person and also do a little event planning on the side, but I was blown away with the attention to detail and personal attention that Pink Orchid Weddings provided us. My (now) Husband, said, "wow, I've never seen someone (Pink Orchid Weddings, Emilie) so on top of things more than you." That statement couldn't be more true, Emilie stepped in after all the planning we did and made sure that everything was ran smoothly.
  
  Every idea, no matter how big or small it was, Emilie made sure it was done that day! All our vendors were organized and had a detailed time line that walked through every angle of the day. The best part for me, was that Emilie always had the bride and groom interest first, so if something needed to be fix/adjusted or got changed by any vendor or the venue, Emilie had our Backs! She made sure it was done the way we wanted and how the vendor/venue contracts outlined!
  
  She was also so personal! I lost my voice a few days before the wedding and right up to the hours before I was to walking down the aisle, Emilie was prepared with a little med kit, so I was well enough to say my vows!
  
  So if you don't even know how to start your wedding planning or find your self losing it before the big day comes with all the details to keep track of, using Pink Orchid Weddings is so worth it!
  
  A bride can't be her own event planner, trust me, even with an event planning back ground of my own, I couldn't do it without the expertise of Pink Orchid Weddings!
  
  Thank you Pink Orchid Weddings for helping us execute our vision of our day to perfection! We were so blessed to have had you! BIG Thank You from the new Mr. & Mrs. Grant!

  First and foremost, Emilie and Pink Orchid Weddings was worth double what I paid. I am an incredibly organized (some would say anal) person and wanted someone who could test me with every question and have answers for any and every detail related to the wedding. I shopped for wedding coordinators for more than a year before my wedding and couldn't have been more please with finding Emilie.
  
  She was incredibly prompt and exhaustive in returning my incessant emails (literally within hours with full answers). She also did my table numbers and menus last minute as an additive cost (completely minimal) and they were absolutely beautiful and took something completely off my plate the last two weeks. Emilie spent literally 3 hours with me planning two months before (I was moving the month before) and another few hours with me on the day of my walk-thru.
  
  On the day of, I had nothing to even think about. It was partly the amazingness of my bridesmaids, but Emilie coordinated everything perfectly and I literally did nothing except enjoy my day. She was professional, attentive, and completely accommodating.
  
  You cannot do wrong with Emilie and Pink Orchid Weddings!

  Fiona (our coordinator) and Emilie (who we were also in contact with during the planning process) are both amazing. They are both incredibly organized, responsive, and just overall very pleasant to work with. Fiona went above and beyond my expectations. They do way more than "day of coordination" -- Fiona handled all the details for us and executed them to perfection, leaving us the freedom to enjoy our wedding day (and the week or two leading up to it). We highly recommend Pink Orchid Weddings. Their pricing is incredible for what it costs and I can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without Fiona.
