“Emily was deeply committed throughout the planning. She was dependable, responsive, attentive, and just so loving and empathetic. Going into the week of the wedding I felt zen and calm. I could not recommend her enough.“

Emily brings a thoughtful blend of softness, style, and grounded calm to the planning process. Drawn to weddings with romantic energy, organic texture, and beautifully intentional details, she loves creating celebrations that feel deeply personal while never shying away from a little drama in all the right ways. Whether the setting is a garden, a historic venue, a restaurant, or a beautiful blank canvas waiting to be transformed, Emily is inspired by events that tell a story and leave a feeling behind.

At the heart of Emily’s approach is connection. She genuinely loves getting to know her couples and believes the best planning experience begins with understanding what matters most to them. She keeps priorities front and centre throughout the process, helping couples make decisions that feel aligned, meaningful, and true to who they are. She is especially mindful about creating breathing room within the wedding day itself — those rare and beautiful moments when a couple can pause, take it all in, and be fully present with one another.

Emily’s planning style is warm, adaptable, and reassuring. She understands that every couple moves through the process differently, which is why she believes communication and support should be tailored to each client in a way that helps ease stress and build confidence. Her couples can expect to be met with kindness, care, a smile, and likely a laugh along the way.

“I love to get to know my couples and ensure their priorities are in focus throughout the planning process. I equally love making space for breathing moments on the wedding day so my couple can pause and be present.”

With a background in ballet, Emily naturally thinks about flow, pacing, and movement throughout an event, always considering how a celebration will feel as it unfolds from one moment to the next. She also brings a strong sense of detail, innovative problem-solving, and a logistical mindset shaped by her background in science. The result is a planning experience that feels both creative and capable — beautiful in vision and thoughtful in execution.

When Emily is not planning, she loves spending time with her husband and two kids, heading out on nature walks, working on jigsaw puzzles, and crafting.

I would give 6 stars if I could! Emily did an incredible job organizing our wedding, from coordinating vendors in the run-up to keeping the day itself running perfectly on track. Our wedding went perfectly, it was the best day of my life, and she was a core part of making that happen. She was such a pleasure to work with while also ensuring that everyone else could focus on celebrating our special day.

My wife became 73% less stressed after we hired her and that would have been worth twice the cost in itself. You won’t regret reaching out to her.

Emily was a deeply committed planner and moral support partner throughout my wedding planning process, which lasted the better part of 8 months. She was extremely dependable, responsive, attentive, and just so loving and empathetic through it all. From early “scope” discussions and blue-sky ideation all the way to the final hand off of our cards, Emily was with us through it all side by side. Emily believes in you and your vision 100%.

The structure she provided allowed me to really “relax” – as much as I could. She gave me, my husband, and my family the confidence from day 1 that this wedding would be a spectacular success, no balls would be dropped, and not once did she ever dismiss an idea, concept, or concern I had. She was a true listener and gosh, that was so incredibly helpful. Going into the week of the wedding I felt zen, calm, and that I could really enjoy it with friends and family. I could not recommend Emily enough.
