We were married on 11/3 at Greenpoint Loft in Brooklyn and the evening was absolute magic thanks to the support of our fabulous coordinator, Natalie! Our venue was a totally raw space, which meant a LOT of vendor coordination DIY elements random touches that were important to me (the bride). We booked Gthr's month of coordination package, which was excellent. I was impressed that they reached out in advance of the month of to collect comprehensive onboarding info and once our meetings with Natalie kicked off, it felt like she was already in the know and ready to go. Natalie kept us reassured every step of the way and went above and beyond for us to be a buffer with some challenging personalities, make sure that the unique things we wanted to do were possible, and keep us on schedule. We had her join us for our rehearsal dinner as well, which was a great way to have an in-person meeting pre-wedding and connect her with our (rather large) wedding party so everything could run smoothly on the wedding day. We truly couldn't have pulled it off without her. A big, heartfelt thank you to Natalie & Gthr - we can't recommend them enough!!!

Trinity saved my life on my wedding day!!! I’m not the best planner, or the type of girl who had much of a vision for her wedding day. Trinity helped me choose a theme, came with me to venue tours and asked all the right questions, and completely took the reins when I asked her to “please just do it for me.” She showed up the day of with a clipboard and a plan and I did not have to use my brain or solve a single problem on the day of. Wedding planning is a lot of figuring out what you want versus what you need, and trust me when I say you need Trinity!!

Once she realized her knack for event organization and planning, the studio was quickly born.

Awarded Best of Zola
Late in our planning process, Blair and her team came highly recommended to us by our venue. We can see exactly why they were recommended and couldn't be happier with BW Studios. They were ready to jump in and help us with anything we needed help with. They are extremely responsive and detail oriented. We also looooved using Aisle Planner, which is the software they provide you to help manage your to do list, timeline, and calendar. They helped us to feel extremely stress-free going into the wedding weekend. On the day of, we were so calm and able to enjoy the day with our friends and family knowing that the team had everything under control! We had run out of tequila after the cocktail hour, and Neva happily ran out to purchase more! At the end of the night every single thing was packed up and organized for easy clean up. Truly could not recommend working with BW Studios more!!! Thank you to Blair, Neva, and Elly - you helped make our day more perfect than we could have ever imagined!

We worked mainly with Desiree, and I could not recommend her more!! I want to note too that when we had a larger than expected situation come up, Meagan stepped in to help. They are a great team. Without Desiree, our wedding may not have happened, ha! I am definitely not the biggest fan of wedding planning and it got pretty stressful at times. But we made it! In the beginning, she helped me find my venue, which was a huge feat as that was the decision I struggled with the most. I was also provided with a TON of resources to help during the process! Every single detail was covered. From decorations to registry to invitations and RSVP to interview questions for vendors to a timeline to tipping etiquette...literally everything was covered including a lot that I would have forgotten. And she also provided me lists of recommended vendors which saved me a ton of time as far as researching and finding phone numbers and websites, etc. Desiree and I met a few times for planning meetings, each time was extremely productive and we got a lot done. I felt so much more in control after each meeting. She also went above and beyond more than once. Which she did not have to do but it took a few major things off my list and saved me a lot of time and worry. She also had a few tough conversations with vendors so that I didn't have to which was amazing! The day of the wedding (and rehearsal) she was there with our timeline and decorating details...and even a few decorations she had on hand that she let me borrow. She made sure everything stayed on plan, rallied everyone that was needed at the right time (extremely helpful during pictures), lead a group of my friends in decorating the entire venue...and even just made sure I had water and the right shoes and just made sure I (and the groom of course!) had everything we needed. She stayed to the last minute and helped us clean-up as well. I recommend Something Blue any chance that I get! Like I said, I could not have done this without them. Thank you!

Hi there! I am Emily and I am so excited you found your way here. I have a passion for curating one-of-a-kind weddings that showcase a couple’s individuality.

Consider me your right-hand gal, your “planner in your pocket”, your sounding board and the gal that will make sure your wedding day is flawless!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking to enjoy your wedding day and the process that comes with planning, don’t hesitate - book Emily! Weddings are insane, wedding culture has become so toxic.. but it doesn’t need to be your experience! My fiancé and I worked with Emily for our Oct 2023 wedding for 16 months. I knew I needed to contact her after being a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding where Emily was the planner. Emily is clear with her services, expectations from both sides, and her pricing. You can tell that she loves what she does. Her pricing for services are well worth it. A wedding is a huge investment - spending a little extra to have a professional with a calm demeanor plan your wedding with you and execute the day of.. it’s priceless. From the start, she talked with us to understand what we wanted and didn’t want. Mind you, we have never planned a wedding but she has! Incredibly patient. Emily scoped out all of our vendors according to the budget we set together. She came to all calls with vendors and helped us to choose the venue. She knew all questions to ask and also networked right before our eyes! Our vendors were vetted and some even already knew Emily and worked directly with them. Emily is also a fantastic mother who balanced being a new mom and a planner at the same time. The day of our wedding, she was calm and never showed an ounce of worry or stress. She took the reigns for every aspect and didn’t allow me to lift a finger. There is so much more to say and not enough time in the day. Most of my friends cried and stressed for months over what should be the best day of their lives, while I enjoyed working with Emily. I can’t wait to use her for a baby shower in the futures.

The Rebel Wedding Planner

5.0

St. Louis, MO
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,200

I have a dirty little secret… I never wanted to be a wedding planner. It was never something that was on my radar. The series of events that led me to this industry is, to be honest, not very exciting, inspiring, or important, really, so I’ll skip that part. (Feel free to ask me later.) What is important is that my heart is in help and service. Born and raised in St. Louis, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about local wedding vendors, traditions, and styles. But after working 12+ years in the industry, I’m down for anything and love working with a couple that has a unique style and vision for their day.

Victoria is an absolute pleasure to work with. I appreciate her calm presence and attention to detail, and the ways she takes care of both the clients and the vendors. She is both "behind the scenes" and somehow always right there when you need her. Leading up to the wedding she has great communication and is very responsive. I know it's going to be a gorgeous, flawless, easy day when Victoria is coordinating.

Rebecca is an incredible planner and coordinator, I would wholeheartedly recommend her and her team to help you make your wedding day as stress-free as possible. We brought Rebecca on as a coordinator and she was invaluable for helping us tie up loose ends (there were many!) and get the whole vendor team ready for a smooth event. We did a few non-traditional things, had various family and friends helping, and the event was in a venue Rebecca was new to -- and she pulled everything off seamlessly! Or, at least that was my experience as the bride, which says a lot! You will not regret one penny spent on Rebecca's kind, attentive, and amazingly organized planning/coordinating.

Working with Jokay was such a blessing! Jokay made planning our wedding so seamless. The other day I was discussing with my wife and we were just like wait a minute, "we actually pulled off a wedding within 3 months"! She was like Jokay made it easy. Jokay stayed and worked exactly with our budget, connected us with the perfect vendors, always available to discuss the plans, she was very organized and detailed, having every aspect of the event/planning on a spread sheet. One big part for me was the way she walked us through the entire event during the planning, such that we could picture the wedding day. It was exactly the way we envisaged and more! Thank you Jokay!

Alexa and her team were an immense help the day of my daughter's wedding. I wanted to enjoy the big day despite the wedding reception being hosted in my back yard and her team delivered great hospitality, organization, leadership, and creative thinking the day of to be sure my family could dance, drink and smile ALOT. For a backyard event, there is a lot of planning, preparation, and checklists that need to be accomplished in advance. Not being an event specialist myself Monarch's direction and tools were immensely helpful to be sure we were on track and considering all the aspects a wedding host must consider. Last minute weather issues were top of mind creating last minute changes so guests were not impacted negatively and my role was simply to be consulted...they handled the rest. Kind, respectful, organized, and positive would be a few words I would describe Alexa and her team. Make sure to reach out and consider Monarch for your next event -- inside or outside.
