Best decision ever!!
Rachel and her team were absolutely amazing!! Not only did she pay so much attention to detail, she was able to organize and execute beautifully. Communication was always clear and consistent. Huge support in all areas such as vendor communications, timeline support, brainstorming and emergencies. Rachel really went above and beyond to ensure the day ran smoothly from start to finish. I don’t think I could’ve done it without her. Best decision ever!

Kind, Professional and Helpful!
I was the florist for a wedding that Rachel coordinated back in April. She was on top of her planning and you could tell she cared about the small details! Her team was so helpful day of and offered to assist in any way they could. 10/10 would recommend and am hopeful to work along side her in the future!

Rachel is a superhero
How do I even begin to convey how amazing Rachel is?! I was originally on a pretty tight budget and wasn't sure if a wedding planner was something that I wanted to add to it. But I'm so glad that I booked Rachel. I booked her as a day-of coordinator a year out from my wedding so besides a few broad details like theme and colors, we didn't really start working together until 3-ish months out. Rachel came to our tasting, saw the venue, discussed my vison, and reassured me that if there was any family drama or nonsense day-of she'd be squashing it realll quick. She is a MACHINE. The night before, and day-of, Rachel was ON IT. She made sure to check in and see how I was doing emotionally, reassured me when I had concerns or last minute requests, and just made my wedding run more smoothly than I could have hoped for. I did my own florals and Rachel arranged them beautifully throughout our venue, moving them when we went from ceremony to reception, and making sure that my venue matched my vision. She corralled our guests throughout the night, making sure that we were following the timeline we'd created and that all I had to do was just enjoy my night. I can not say enough good things about Rachel. If you want someone who is no-nonsensem, will run your wedding like a military drill, and make sure no one messes with your day, she's your gal. Thank you a million times over, Rachel, I couldn't have done it without you!

110% recommend!3
I cannot recommend Emerald Events enough! My husband and I got married back in May and though I planned most of the wedding myself we decided a day of coordinator was the best way to go! With our ceremony at a church and reception at our house (and 234 guests) there were a ton of moving parts to keep track of... We hired Emerald Events about a month and a half before our wedding and Rachel stepped in and immediately/seamlessly got to work bringing all the pieces of the puzzle together! She contacted all of the vendors, helped coordinate timelines, set up and take down and any other details that made the day go off without a hitch! At one point at the end of the night I saw her washing dishes in my kitchen and putting away desserts , etc! God bless her! Her assistants were wonderful as well and my guests even commented on how kind/ wonderful they all were! If you're wondering if a day of coordinator is worth it .. the answer is YES! With great pricing and an amazing staff, Emerald Events is definitely the way to go! They truly made the day so special and we can't thank them enough!

Made Our Day Special
I am so happy I found Emerald Events. Rachel is an absolutely exceptional wedding coordinator. She was warm, empathetic, organized, and personable. She made every detail perfect for my special day and went above and beyond to make everything how I envisioned it. I couldn’t have planned my wedding without her. During the stressful period of planning, Rachel kept me grounded and calm with her attention to detail, organization and prompt communication. She was a huge part of why my wedding was the best day of my life. I would highly recommended her.
