I wish I had taken before pictures of the venue, it was gorgeous. She had a vision that we couldn't see that she executed perfectly. She was on time and was right there every step of the way.If your looking for elegant and class for your next event Emily is definitely the party planner to do it!
Thank you very much for your feedback, I loved working with your family very much. Your generosity is very appreciated. I look forward to possibly working with you again in the future!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing generally depends on the size and need of your event, but I am always willing to work with a client if there are special circumstances. I offer discounts for those serving our country.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You always have to start with getting to know your client. Sitting down and just getting a feel for who they are and what they envision. After that I can open up about what I kind’ve envision for them based on their own descriptions. Following of course necessary legal paperwork we can meet/talk a few times a week I will always be open to attending visits of venues and vendors. I will be involved with guest count, gifting, vendor set up and coordination. And work on the front lines for my client.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Professional certification in weddings and event coordination/planning, and 4 years experience.
