I don’t think I can fit how amazing Emily is into one review! I would recommend Emily and her services to anyone I know. Emily supported us while we planned our wedding and coordinated our day at The Woodyard, she truly was amazing. The moment we first met I felt a huge weight had been lifted, she was so patient, kind and knowledgeable. Thanks to Emily and her recommendations and advice during our wedding planning journey, our vision really came to life. Without her knowledge and support we would have been completely in the dark! I’m so grateful for Emily being so professional and patient, she really made me feel that I could ask absolutely anything at any time, she was always just a message or phone call away. Knowing Emily was going to be with my on the day of my wedding calmed me so much. It really allowed me, my husband and bridal party (well everyone!) to enjoy every second of the day. Emily is so thoughtful and worked so hard, it was clear she truly wanted the very best for us and went above and beyond to achieve this. We can’t thank you enough Emily, it was everything we could have wished for. Meg & Tom x

What can I say about Emily - only superlatives! Emily helped my now husband and I to style our wedding day - one of the best and most magical days of our lives. She started with a mood board that beautifully captured what colours and styles we were hoping for and then helped coordinate some of our vendors and introduce us to those who could also make our vision come true. We were also lucky enough to have Emily with us on that day and it really wouldn’t have been the same without her. The day ran perfectly and it was all down to Emily’s professionalism and calm. You can really tell how experienced she is as nothing seemed to phase her through the whole process (even though she even had a skiing accident mid way through our year of planning!). I would not hesitate to recommend Emily to anyone I know. She’s a organised, highly experienced and was always reassuring through the whole process. She is also just such a fantastic woman, with such a humanity about her! Emily - it was truly perfect and we cannot thank you enough. M&C

Working with Emily meant that our wedding day ran incredibly smoothly. She is very professional, has good attention to the smallest of details and it’s clear that she has lots of experience in the industry. Would definitely recommend her!

Thank you once again for a great weekend and all of your help in pulling it together & coordinating the day to ensure it all went so smoothly. We’ve had so many messages saying how lovely the venue was and how well managed it was by you on the day. Its just a shame it's all over so quickly, but we had a such a wonderful time and memories that will last a lifetime.

Emily helped to plan and manage our wedding this Spring. She is a truly lovely person inside and out and went above and beyond to make sure every part of our day ran smoothly and looked fabulous. She stepped in when we were let down with our cake stand by a supplier and even provided us with additional candles after the ones we’d bought ourselves were too large for certain holders. This is just a small example of how kind Emily is and how much effort she puts in to creating the perfect day for you. Herself and her team really went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect and in poor weather conditions carried my flowers, lifted my dress off the wet floor and even provided and held umbrellas for my wedding party. I can’t say thank you enough and would recommend Emily to any upcoming bride. Having you and the wonderful suppliers we had on hand made everything seem so easy. Can’t thank you enough for all your support and for going the extra mile time and time again, before and on the day itself.

Emily, Thank you SO so much. You worked so tirelessly and seamlessly to make our day so special. We had such a great feeling from the moment we first met you and we are so grateful you were able to run our day. Thank you thank you thank you. You are the best. 🤍

It goes without saying that we had the most incredible weekend for our wedding. We are so incredibly grateful for all of your support and helping our day to go so smoothly! We really appreciate everything you do!!!

We cannot recommend Emily enough! Throughout our wedding journey Emily has gone above and beyond - from prompt communication, attention to detail, co-ordinating our suppliers and really understanding our vision for our big day. On the day Emily ensured we had the best day by looking out for us and our guests - especially quickly adapting from an outdoor ceremony to an indoor ceremony! Emily co-ordinated the change promptly, ensured I was kept dry with plenty of umbrellas, held my dress and looked after my veil and bouquet numerous times on the night! Our day wouldn't have gone as well as it did without Emily - thank you so much Emily, it's been a pleasure to have you co-ordinate our big day x

Emily co-ordinated our wedding at Worstead Estate in October 2022. From the very beginning of the planning process, she was organised, efficient and professional. We live in New Zealand, so everything had to be planned remotely and Emily made it a breeze! On the day of the wedding, she was calm and had everything completely in hand - she made the day run so smoothly and it was impossible for anyone to know how many moving parts there were in the background! To top it off, you could really see her passion for her job and it was lovely to see her enjoying what she does and doing it so brilliantly. Thank you so much Emily!
