Hi, I’m Emily!

WEDDING PLANNER | OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST | THRU-HIKER | WIFE | TINY HOUSE DWELLER | ARTIST | DOG MOM

When I was younger, if anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say with 100% confidence, a dolphin trainer. I was so determined to make this dream a reality, that I started volunteering at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago throughout High School. I assisted with managing several events they hosted, which is where my passion shifted. I discovered a love for hosting events and hospitality. I was also terrible at Biology.

I began feverishly getting involved in whatever I could to utilize my excellent planning and organizational skills which eventually lead me to serve as an Event Director at a University in Nashville. I discovered an undeniable talent for providing amazing experiences for my clients. Nothing satisfied me more to see my guests walk away (stress-free!) from an event feeling like I had exceeded their expectations.

When COVID hit, my husband and I took that as a sign from the universe to chase after a life that seemed more our style so we began to pursue an existence full of adventure. Together, we have thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, managed an off-grid hot spring resort in the middle of Idaho, backpacked across the entire state of Colorado, did the vanlife thing, worked at a greenhouse, became an artist, lived off-grid in a 17ft camper, and then upgraded to a tiny house nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Which eventually lead me here…getting back into my passion of planning events and working alongside couples who are wildly in love. I do not want to just send you extensive to-do lists as we work together to create strict timelines and fulfill boring obligations…I want to make this process a fun and memorable experience for you both! To create a wedding that represents your love story, a day that you both get to experience by being fully present with each other and your loved ones. To create a meaningful experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
