About Salt & Ember Events
Salt & Ember Events
At Salt & Ember Events, we’re all about good vibes, thoughtful details, and celebrations that feel intentional, effortless, and deeply personal. A wedding day that reflects your love story from the very first planning chat to the last move on the dance floor.
Whether you’re looking for calm, collected day-of coordination or full-service, hands-on planning, we’re here to support you in a way that fits your priorities, your budget, and your vision. We love working with couples who care about how their day feels just as much as how it looks. If that’s you, we’d love to get to know you better.
In three words: Calm, Efficient, Fun

Exceptional Planning and Seamless Execution
Salt & Ember Events was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with, and I will be enthusiastically recommending them to all of my clients. Their communication was consistently prompt, clear, professional, and warm throughout the entire planning process. Their attention to detail and level of organization were exceptional, and they carried themselves with true professionalism at every stage. On the wedding day, they executed the event flawlessly—anticipating the needs of the couple, vendors, and guests alike—while maintaining a friendly, calm, and fun presence. I would highly recommend Salt & Ember Events to any couple seeking a wedding planner who delivers a seamless, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable experience.
The Best Decision We Made
Picking Josie as our wedding planner was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she took the time to really get to know us, not just our vision, but who we are as a couple. Every detail felt thoughtful, intentional, and completely personal. Nothing felt generic or rushed. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly that we were able to truly be present and enjoy every moment. She handled things we didn’t even know needed handling, all with calm energy and a genuine care for us and our guests. We felt so supported every step of the way, and our wedding felt like a true reflection of us. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend Salt & Ember enough.
