I got engaged a few weeks before having major surgery that would require months of recovery. A little while after surgery, we looked into getting a wedding planner to help reduce the stress and workload of planning a wedding, so I could focus on healing. This is where Emily and Soirée came in. Emily and her team were so happy to help us, and listened to our story and reasons for choosing their services. From the beginning they were committed to reducing the stress aspect, simplifying choices, making trusted recommendations, and accompanying us on site visits to make sure we asked the right questions. Regular emails with short "to do" lists kept me on track without overwhelming me. All emails and messages were responded to promptly, sometimes within minutes. Gracie was our coordinator on the day of our wedding, from 12-10pm, and she did a phenomenal job of keeping everything on schedule, organized, and the least chaotic possible. She was so kind and accommodating, regularly checking in to make sure we were having the best time possible and seeing what she could take care of. We were able to leave the venue on time because almost everything was ready packed up and loaded. I certainly could not do her job and am just in awe of her skills and fortitude. I do not plan on ever getting married again, but I certainly would use Soirée again if I did, and I will recommend them to anyone who needs help with planning their own wedding. They have all those awards for a reason...they ARE the best!Soirée Wedding Planning's reply:
Thank you so much for the amazingly sweet and kind review, Erin & Bryan. We loved working on your relaxing wedding day and wish you both the best for your future! xo! Emily & Gracie! -

Brian E. Sent on 10/07/2019Caitlyn at Soiree is an excellent choice
For the time of your life? choose a wedding planner pro like Caitlyn. You will have greater time with your guests and making more wonderful memories. Soiree dials in all the important details so you can celebrate and not worry or stress over details. Caitlyn has a schedule/timeline for all, so everyone stays on time and are where they should be during the day. She is right on top of all plans with a smile. You will not be let down with Soiree's Caitlyn.Soirée Wedding Planning's reply:
Thank you so much, Brian!!! We love Caitlyn too and hope to be able to have more weddings book with her! -

Sami H. Sent on 05/20/2024Wonderful experience, a planner you can trust!!
We hired soirée for day of coordination but Emily helped us through the whole process from the moment we hired Soirée. She’s extremely organized, well connected, calm, and prepared. The technology they use is also very helpful- we had a Slack Channel and Timeline Genius page that allowed for easy communication and visibility over the timeline. The timeline she put together was perfect. I needed flexibility as we have a four month old who needed feedings throughout. I never felt rushed. The day really was set up for us to enjoy and I greatly appreciate that. 10/10 recommend!Soirée Wedding Planning's reply:
Hi Sami! Thank you so much for the kind review! It was our pleasure to help you throughout the process! I'm proud that we specialize in supporting our couples throughout the journey (instead of month-out like other companies). Congratulations to you and Max. I loved working with you during your engagement! It was the most beautiful day. -

When host invited us from Chicago to cook for their pre-wedding party at Iowa, we were bit nervous about managing all little resources at such a distant venue. Then host introduced us to Emily and Soiree team. long story short - It was one of our best experiences, Soiree helped us meticulously plan each details. Kudos to Emily and team. would happily recommend them to anyone.

As the mother of the bride, I can sum up my experience with Emily and Gracie from Soirée as absolutely FIRST CLASS. From the moment we met with Emily to talk about their services, I felt her warmth and professionalism. We heavily relied on her preferred vendor list and were never disappointed. Emily and Gracie guided us through our many questions and ideas and were so organized and unbelievably gracious. I can’t imagine planning a wedding without their extensive knowledge and working relationships. Heading into the wedding day, I was calm and composed - what a gift! Gracie was with us for the rehearsal and for the wedding day. She was so on top of all of the details and took care of everything! She even checked in with us frequently to see if there was anything we needed! Wow!! If you are looking for a wedding planner that is going to walk every step of the way with you, make you feel valued, and knows this world of weddings from start to finish then look no more. I highly recommend Soirée. -

My fiancé and I decided to bring the Soirée team on mid-way through our destination wedding planning, and my only regret is that we did not reach out to them sooner in the planning process.
Our entire experience with Emily (from the moment we had our consultation call to the end of our wedding day) was above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. Emily is extremely detail oriented and ensured my vision came to life.
Emily and her team did an amazing job of communicating with myself, my travel agency, and the resort where we were getting married. There were several instances where Emily took initiative on things that I would’ve assumed the resort would have initiated, but did not. I felt so at peace and zero anxiety leading up to our special day, and the credit goes to Emily and the Soirée team.
I decided to have Emily accompany us to Cancún for our wedding and am so happy she was able to be in person. Emily ensured that everything was executed perfectly and was a huge support to me on the wedding day.
I was so grateful to have Emily’s expertise as we navigated throughout the wedding planning process! I know that, without her, I would not have been able to enjoy the big day as much as I did. Thank you Emily & Soirée! -

I worked primarily with Emily throughout the planning process, and then Maggy for the day of. Leading up to the wedding, I received monthly reminders/checklists to let me know what needed done each month to help stay on track. Emily not only made a mood board for me but an entire “mood” powerpoint. The powerpoint was categorized extremely well and was a very helpful resource to keep everything organized and to really help visualize the day. She helped us to stick close to our budget and still have our dream wedding. It was very easy to get in contact with them at all times. I always received a very timely response to my questions and making appointments was a breeze. They’ve got this down to a T.
Let’s talk about the day of…I will never understand how people get through their wedding day without at least having a day of coordinator. Maggy was absolutely amazing and on top of EVERYTHING. No one bothered me with any logistical questions or drama on the day of. She coordinated all day with my photographers, DJ, officiant, wedding party, venue, rental company, florists…everyone…to make sure the whole day went smooth. Everything was perfectly on time (even slightly ahead of schedule, which allowed for a bit of much needed down time for my husband and I.) It was absolutely perfect. Maggy even made sure all of our personal items (memory table photos, decor brought from home, cards, etc.) were locked away in my bridal suite before leaving for the night. I didn’t have to lift a finger.
Hire a wedding planner. It may seem expensive but it is truly worth every penny. Ultimately, they will help you actually stick to your budget and have so many connections you wouldn’t have on your own. Hire Soiree.

Hayley B. Sent on 05/24/2022Best decision we made!
Emily and the Soiree team (shout out to Maggy, our day-of coordinator too!) are absolutely phenomenal. They always have an answer, a solution. I knew I could call/text/Slack/email and they would make it happen. Their wide network of connections and vast experience in the industry is so valuable! The organization and structure they provide is incredible. From the planning tools to the wedding timelines, we knew we were in good hands. We had SEVERAL wedding party members comment that this was the most well-organized wedding they'd been in. And most importantly to us, we both felt relaxed throughout the day. We enjoyed every second of our wedding thanks to Soiree's incredible logistics and behind-the-scenes magic.Soirée Wedding Planning's reply:
Thank you so much for your sweet review! We it was such a pleasure getting to know you and your family! I loved planning it and I know Maggy had a blast that day executing all the visions and dreams for you two. xo! -

Book Soiree NOW to have a stress free day!!
Like many brides, while starting to plan our wedding I was not planning to hire any event coordinator at the start of wedding planning. However, about 7 months out from our big day I realized if we did not have professionals to help us, that there would likely be extra stress on my mom and myself the day of our wedding. I met with Soiree about 6 months from our wedding date and booked them immediately; and the Soiree team is worth EVERY PENNY! I wish I would have met with them earlier! We worked with Emily, Caitlyn and Haley and they are all amazing! We did the essentials package - we were able to meet with the team twice before the wedding and they pointed out many details that we had not thought about as well as helped us with our day of timeline. They also checked up on us throughout the months leading up to the wedding to see if we had any questions; communication was great! Caitlyn and Haley were with us all day on our wedding day and I seriously can't imagine our day going so smoothly without their help/expertise. From keeping the bridal party on time, setting up table decor, assisting the photographer, serving the head table drinks during dinner, this list goes on and on! Plus, they are so fun to work with and bring a calming presence to the day. I was actually able to enjoy our wedding day since I knew the Soiree team was taking care of all the behind the scenes details and making sure everything was going as planned. Highly recommend Soiree to anyone is search of an event planner!Soirée Wedding Planning's reply:
Congratulations! It was seriously - our HONOR - to get to help on your gorgeous wedding day! Thank you so much for the amazing review. We are so appreciative!!! This helps other couples know about our value & services to help in their big day. You're the best! Congratulations again! Best wishes! xo Emily, Caitlyn, and Haley -

Christine S. Sent on 11/19/2021Soiree is amazing!
Emily and her crew are the best choice for a wedding planning service! Emily was recommended to us by our venue when we mentioned thoughts of possibly hiring a wedding coordinator for the weekend of our wedding!
Emily & Bella made every moment of our wedding weekend as stress free as possible and made sure that everything was always handled! Our shuttle service hit a snag and they handled everything for us!
We received so many compliments on how well the day went from our family and bridal party as well stating how awesome they thought Smily & Bella were!
If you are looking to hire. Wedding planning service Soiree is the best choice out there! We HIGHLY recommend Emily & her team!
Thank you to Emily & Soiree for making our wedding so amazing! ❤️❤️ If we could do it all over again I’d hire them first!! -

Emily (Soiree wedding planning) was absolutely the best. Everyone in our bridal party and some of our guests came up to us to tell us that as well. She got everyone moving (with a smile on her face!) and made the ceremony and reception happen. She was assertive, organized and just the best. I do not think our day would have gone as well without her. Throughout the wedding planning process she was always available and was super helpful at keeping us on track and made sure we were well organized as well. Could NOT recommend her enough. Simply fab! Grace and Pacifique.
