I started out as one of those brides who didn’t think a wedding planner was necessary. I wanted to DIY everything and save money wherever I could. As I was meeting with vendors and explaining my vision, the same name kept coming up – Emily Weddings. You don’t realize when planning a wedding that yes, you can attempt to do everything yourself leading up to your wedding day, but do you really want to be worrying about small details the day of? My now husband and I finally decided to look into it and after our first meeting we felt completely reassured this would be money well spent. Not only do they have all the best contacts in the business, but they are so creative and resourceful! I never felt like they were juggling other weddings while working with me. There is no curve ball you can throw at them they can’t hit out of the park! Their years of experience in this industry really shows, which is invaluable for a new bride overwhelmed with options. Our relationship didn’t feel like a business I was paying for a service, but a dear friend who was equally excited for my husband and I’s big day. I didn’t have a single worry on my wedding day because of them. Everything went flawlessly and they made me and my husband feel like such VIPs the whole night. To all brides out there on the fence – the greatest gift is to see all your hard work and planning come together on your wedding day, so you can just completely relax and be in the moment. Emily Weddings gave this to us and we are forever grateful!

The Emily Weddings Team is truly the best. Carrie and her team of 4 other women executed a perfect wedding day for us. Our wedding was at a private home in Sandbridge and required rentals for EVERYTHING. Carrie helped us down-select to the BEST vendors that fit our budget AND provided amazing service. EWT went ABOVE and BEYOND on numerous occasions: We reserved a shuttle to take our wedding party and rehearsal dinner guests to the rehearsal dinner at the Attic @ Waterman’s. At the schedule pickup time, we saw no one. When we called the shuttle company, all we got was “We don’t know where the driver is.” Ummm. WHAT?! I approached EWT unsure of what we should do and Carrie’s first response was, “I can fit 7 in my van.” There was no hesitation, only a steadfast desire to make this weekend perfect for our families and guests. It POURED on our wedding day. Leaving our hair appt, we needed to be ready to decide where to have the wedding, on the outside lawn or in the clear top tent. Due to the uncertainty of the rain we chose the “backup plan”, the tent. I have no idea what kind of magic these women work, but the pouring rain tent ceremony and reception was BETTER than anything we could have imaged. I am glad it rained! During the wedding planning period Carrie and EWT were extremely responsive and professional. My father and I are both type-A people and having a team so professional and caring allowed us to let go and enjoy. Carrie made sure we learned the best phrase a bride and her parents could hear, “Not my problem, Carrie will handle it.” Thank you EWT; our wedding was better than anything we could have imagined.
