Sarah Sent on 07/03/2024Great planner and designer
I booked both of Emily's services, the design service and planning service. I had a great experience with both. Emily was the designer and florist and did an incredible job bringing my vision to life. I love that once you book the design package, you have access to all of her warehouse items. It did not cost extra to use her arch, pillars, centerpiece vases, etc. and you get the flowers at a discount. Ashley Goff was my planner/coordinator and she was excellent. She and her assistant made the day run smoothly and I didn't have to worry about anything. She kept every vendor and member of the wedding party on-task and where they needed to be. Their entire team is very talented and I recommend their services. -

I decided to book a coordinator and designer through The Main Event by Emily and it was 1000% the best decision I could have made. I worked mostly with Ashley G. and Emily. These ladies pay attention to all details, even the ones you don’t think of. They worked with me to not only bring the vision I had for my wedding to life, but to also ensure my wedding day was seamless and smooth. I cannot express how worth it is. Seriously, if you are doubting it, it’s WORTH IT! I’m extremely grateful to have had the pleasure of working with these ladies. My big day was perfect! 10.1.22 -

The Main Event by Emily made our wedding event so easy and stress free. When my daughter got engaged it was very important to me to be able to enjoy her day and be hands off and that is exactly what I got with The Main Event by Emily! From the very beginning our planner was on top of the smallest details. She listened and took care of the big things but also managed such detail to the smallest of things as well. The flowers and decorating were more beautiful that I could have imagined. I would highly recommend them for any event. I honestly believe my daughters special day would not have been as amazing without the team we had around us allowing us to enjoy every second! -

I cannot say enough good things about this company, if you think you can do a wedding without a planner/good florist then good luck to you. Our coordinators/design/floral team went ABOVE and BEYOND our expectations. This was money WELL spent! The day of my wedding was spend relaxing in the bridal suite while Emily and her team did all of the heavy lifting and set up! They are so easy to work with and she brought my vision to life, making my day absolutely perfect. She does not nickel and dime you with every single flower or garland you want, she has an overall package and a floral budget which actually ended up saving us a large amount of money in the long run. Please please please reach out to this company and give them a shot, they will absolutely blow you away with their amazing work! I cannot say enough good things. -

The Main Event was instrumental in crafting a perfect day for us. From day 1 till we said "I Do," Royall, Felicia, and the rest of their team helped us not stress over any details and focus on each other and the big day. They crushed it when it came to navigating the ever changing COVID regulations and delays. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to have their day be perfect and worry-free! -

Incredible Experience with The Main Event by Emily
HIRE THIS TEAM! I can't begin to express how fantastic the entire team at The Main Event by Emily is. Every single team member went above and beyond to make sure that our day was exactly what we wanted and that everything went off without a hitch. Emily and her design team took a few pictures that represented my vision and brought it to life in the best possible way--the flowers, the ceremony area, the table scapes, everything. The coordination team (shout out to Royall!) was AMAZING --they took away the stress of vendor coordination, the flow of the day, time keeping and answering anyone and everyone's questions on the day of. THANK YOU ALL! It was the most perfect day and it wouldn't have happened without The Main Event by Emily. We are so grateful!

Emily and her team of coordinators and designers really brought our wedding together and made it absolutely wonderful. Every detail was carefully thought out. From flowers to table settings to organizing a timeline and vendors, TME made sure our wedding went smoothly. I've received nothing but compliments with how beautiful everything was, and I truly believe TME is worth every cent. -

We can’t not thank Emily and the whole Main Event team from the month of coordinating team Desiree, Royall and Felicia! They all made our day so special and I can’t think them enough for helping move everything to a new date and helping us in general with any questions and designing and planning!
Thank you guys so much!!

Emily and her team made my dream wedding come to life! From our first meeting to our last, Emily completely understood my vision. She had many new ideas to offer, and her shop is filled with everything possible to make your wedding happen. Emily and her design team have this thing down to a science, so they work efficiently but uniquely. They also provide all floral arrangements at the most amazing prices. My wedding was everything I dreamed up in my head and more. I would not change a single thing from my wedding design/decor, and for that, I thank The Main Event. I will recommend her to any bride planning her wedding, and would give 6 stars if I could.
Royall, my lead wedding coordinator, also did a fantastic job. She is thorough, detail oriented, and so so friendly! I felt like I knew her for years during our first meeting. She takes her time with each meeting and adapted so easily to any changes I wanted to make. My mom and I thought we had the planning thing under control- until Royall joined us in the month-of planning. We realized how much we needed her assistance and expertise. When we had questions or concerns, or when confusion arose, Royall handled it all. She was the communicator between all vendors, which I cannot stress how much we needed that. She made our month leading up to the wedding so calm and controlled, and the wedding went so smoothly thanks to Royall and her assistant, Ashley! I will forever thank them for their services, and I know our wedding was so successful because of them!
Overall, I can’t recommend The Main Event enough. These ladies are amazing and I 100% believe everyone needs them in their wedding planning. If you’re on the fence about using their services, I promise you, you NEED them. -

Despite the uncertainty of planning a wedding in the midst of a global pandemic, Emily Norton, Royall Bryan and Amber Epps never wavered in their assurances that everything would work out, and they made sure it did. We never knew from one week to the next how government directives on social distancing and limits on the size of gatherings might wreck months of preparation, but this team of ladies pushed ahead and finalized every last detail. We can’t thank them enough for all they did to help us create an intimate, memorable wedding that we were able to share with our families and dearest friends. -

Emily and her team are the absolute best! We postponed our original wedding date in May due to COVID, and Emily was more than accommodating. I am a very organized person with all sorts of Pinterest boards and Emily welcomed all of my ideas and even came up with better ones. Her design for my wedding was beyond what I was thinking in so many good ways! It came all together perfectly.
Now I want to praise my wonderful coordinators. Royall and Des were beyond. I had been working with Royall since the month before my wedding, and we talked almost every day. She deserves an extra award for just putting up with me. She made everything so much easier to handle all of the stress. She kept in contact with me and all of my other vendors. Words cannot describe how amazing Royall was at her job! Not only did she do her job beyond justice, but she also became a friend that I could vent to about wedding stress. Beyond happy with the Main Event by Emily and how they handled my wedding! -

As far as design and flowers go... it exceeded every bit of my expectations. I got design quotes and floral quotes and the price by-far was the best in Virginia. Emily teared up in our first visit about her passion for providing "dream weddings" within the bride's budget but I had no idea how much she meant that. I literally gave her my Pinterest board and she brought it to life. The bouquets looked IDENTICAL to what I picked out but more beautiful. I wanted rustic car parts that she did not have and she went digging for them in her free time. Literally every touch she put in there I cried. She could charge double for what she did with my wedding. My husband was blown away with it all. He still can't stop talking about how wonderfully it was decorated. She met with us at the venue (1 hour away) to make sure everything was taken care of.
Ashley was our month-of coordinator and when I say I did not stress I mean it. She thought of all the things I never would have considered, our FaceTime session was incredibly productive. She contacted all of my vendors, was clear on the services they provided and found out my caterer didn't bus plates! What a shock! So Emily and Ashley and the team stepped in. When I say I felt like a princess on my wedding day, I really did. Ashley made sure everything was where it needed to be, brought us food, carried my belongings, and made the entire experience ZERO stress. I had all the time to enjoy my time with my guests, and had not a care in the world because I knew she had it all. This woman should be organizing the White House events. Seriously. If you're on the fence about hiring these people... DO IT. Design and Coordination are not where you want to cut corners in a budget. We are already hiring them for our next anniversary party :P -
