Question 1

How much experience do you have planning weddings?

Accepted Answer

We have over 40 years of combined experience planning weddings across our team. Our owner, Emee, started the business in Austin in 1999 and has planned weddings in Texas, Washington State, Oregon, and the Northeast.

Question 2

Where do you work? Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

Our team is available worldwide and has both wedding planner and travel agency capabilities for your destination wedding in any location. Our team is mostly based in Portland, Oregon, though on any given day you might find us in your home town! Our 2025 projects will take us to Boston, Houston, Hyderabad, Minneapolis, Frankfurt, London, Philadelphia, D.C., and Charlotte NC -- to name just a few. Recent projects have seen us in Tokyo, the Columbia River Gorge, Boston, and the Seattle/Puget Sound area.

Question 3

Do you have any specialties?

Accepted Answer

EJP Events specializes in culturally competent, inclusive, and sustainable weddings. We'll help you identify potential pitfalls that could impact your and your guests' experience, and address them before they arise. We also have plenty of creative ideas to reduce waste—whether it's plastic, water, or food—so you can begin your next chapter knowing that your celebration reflected your values and made a lasting, positive impact on the environment.

Question 4

Are there photos of weddings that you have planned?

Accepted Answer

Sure! Just visit our weddings gallery online at https://ejpevents.com/weddings/ or our blog. We are always adding new photos so check back often, or email us if you would like to see a particular kind of wedding such as outdoor weddings, barn weddings, Pacific Northwest weddings, Indian or South Asian weddings, multicultural weddings, ballroom weddings, church weddings, offbeat or indie weddings... We've worked with a lot of couples and have tens of thousands of photos to wrangle.

Question 5

Are you part of a team? Who will we be working with?

Accepted Answer

EJP Events has two lead wedding planners, Emee and Josie. We are supported by a roster of wonderful associate event coordinators and administrative staff. In addition, we have access to any type of event labor you are looking for, whether it's setup and teardown staff, lighting and AV techs, or even security. The great thing is you don't need to coordinate all these folks - we will!

Question 6

Do you also plan other events, like showers or rehearsal dinners?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The vast majority of the weddings we plan are destination affairs with multiple days of events.

Question 7

How much time should we expect to spend with you?

Accepted Answer

In Stage I of planning, we will typically have more frequent meetings on a weekly or biweekly basis depending on how much needs tackling. In Stage II, as we are detailing out your booked vendors, meetings may go less frequent and be on a monthly basis. In Stage III, we go back to more frequent check-ins in the last six weeks. If you book only one stage of planning, that will affect how much time we spend and how many meetings you access. Meetings are typically 60 minutes each. You also have access to a project management system with messaging, so we can communicate anytime and keep all your thoughts and ideas organized in the project.

Question 8

Do you take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Each of our Lead Wedding Planners works on only one wedding per weekend, and it’s more common for us to focus on just one wedding per month. Since our full-service, three-stage planning programs are highly sought-after, we dedicate a great deal of time and energy to delivering a high level of personalized service—something that wouldn’t be possible if we took on too many weddings.
