My Wedding Philosophy?
Radiant, True, & Distinctly You 

Your love story is like nobody else’s. That’s why your wedding will be one of one. My team and I pride ourselves on getting to know you through and through – so that your wedding planning experience is distinctly you.

We’ll start with the big picture and slowly zoom into the details. Get excited, because we’re going to get personal:
  • Your (not so) secret hobby?
  • Your family traditions?
  • Your special furry friend(s)?
  • Your favorite dessert or drink as a couple?

Our options for personalization are limitless.
Let me take you through my planning path.

My Planning Path

​​Engagement is a prelude to lifelong love and its endless possibilities. Let me be the first to tell you: The magic is just beginning!

Step 01. Get Engaged! 

Aesthetics, design, and beauty aside, here’s what you need to know: Every couple needs an advocate, a trusted confidante to support them through the planning process. And, guess what? That’s exactly what I am. Trust is my signature, and I stand by your side every step of the way.

Start 
Here

We’ll meet to discuss the wedding vision of your dreams. After our consultation, I’ll send you a custom proposal with your contract and invoice attached. All ready to sign? Yay! Yay! Pop the Champagne – you officially have me in your corner as your Wedding Confidante.  

Step 02. Meet Your Wedding Confidante  

You’ll get to ask all your questions and lean on my expertise as a Planner to design a wedding timeline fit for you. From moodboarding to vendor selection, tablescapes, and seating charts, we’ll go through everything intentionally so you’ll feel empowered in your decision-making and confident in your choices. I promise you – budgeting and logistics won’t be a bore!

Step 03. Start Making Planning Decisions

We’ll talk, laugh, and celebrate every milestone decision on our way to bringing your love story to life – because each detail deserves a toast (in my storybook). As the time goes on, we’ll lock in your favorite vendors and tie up all our loose ends. The result? A wedding planning experience you’ll cherish forever. 

Step 04. Embrace the Planning Experience

With your Wedding Day finally here, you’ll be able to let your guard down and enjoy the experience we planned so intricately for. Get ready, bestie, it’s time for the magic to come your way!

Step 05. Get Married!

We cannot recommend Emily enough! She is such a calming presence throughout the entire planning process and on the day of. She is extremely kind, organized, and has the best insight to help make your day go by without a hitch! We had a few situations that were difficult to navigate and Emily was quick to find solutions with a plan A, B and C. She has so many strengths and qualities that set her apart from others and demonstrated that she will always do right by her clients. Our wedding day would not have been possible without Emily and her team. Do yourself a favor and have Emily Ventura help you plan your dream day! Thank you for everything Emily!

She will always do right by her clients…

Emily and Alyssa were one of the best parts of our wedding! Emily took care of all of the little details that were such a big deal to us so we didn’t have to worry. She was always ready to answer any questions and happy to give opinions when we needed one. Not only did she help so much before and on the day of, but she also helped us through postponing our wedding during Covid. It was overwhelming to have to replan, but Emily went above and beyond to communicate our new date to the vendors and ensured it’d still be exactly what we wanted. It also helps that she has very good taste! I would 10/10 recommend hiring Emily for your big day.

Emily was the MVP of our wedding. I am in graduate school so I knew I wasn't going to have much time and energy to plan a wedding. I gave Emily my general ideas and she created the most beautiful wedding ever. She was 10 steps ahead of any problem that ever arose and was extremely sweet and professional in every situation. I cannot recommend her enough! She even packed special snacks for me for the wedding day because I have some allergies. All of our bridal party loved her so much and called her ‘mom’ throughout the wedding weekend. They have already claimed her for their future weddings. I 10/10 recommend Emily; you will not regret choosing her!

Hiring Emily was the single best decision my wife and I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. She brought our dream wedding to life, and worked within the budget that we had in mind. Where she perhaps shines brightest is during Day-of coordination. In our case, she took care of handling all of our vendor organization for both set-up and tear down, put the finishing touches on the venue itself, had a strict timeline for the entire event, and left my wife and I feeling worry-free for the entire day. We couldn’t recommend Emily highly enough to anyone looking to let a professional help them plan their ideal wedding. Thanks Emily!
