“I’m on a mission to bring creativity to wedding + event designs – not just for creativity's sake, but to infuse meaning into every detail and into how we spend every minute and every dollar.”

meaningful creativity,
and, to us, that looks like:
At Emily Berg Weddings + Events, we’re committed to
Incorporating quirky interests, colors, and themes into our designs.
Choosing to work with diverse and underrepresented vendors and wedding pros.
Donating 10% of every contract total to a pre-approved nonprofit of your choice.
yes to all of this
Welcome.
I’m so glad you made it to my happy little corner of the interwebs.
And if you’re opting for a nontraditional or unconventional wedding, we vow to be your cheerleaders and advocates.
What are you looking forward to me stepping in and taking off your overwhelmingly-full plates?
We’ll reassure you that you’re not *too* crazy in your ideas and communicate with any friends, family, vendors, or guests who need help understanding your unique vision.
If you’re planning an event to educate a donor base or champion a cause, the event should reflect your values, mission, supporters and those you serve.
If you’re planning a wedding or other milestone celebration, this party-of-a-lifetime should reflect you, your love story, or the journey that led you to this point.
And the best celebrations are an extension of who you are as a person, a couple, or a brand – in all your quirky, weird, and awesome glory.
People have referred to this as a safe space, which makes me happy. When my clients feel safe to be their whole selves, I’ve found we can create some of the coolest celebrations.

Emily is absolutely AMAZING!
We loved getting to work with her! She helped organize our big day and helped so much day-of!"

My Mantra
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
I’m an efficiency nerd, so I love the challenge of finding a straight line. It saves you so much stress, time and money! If your ideas feel all over the place right now, we’ll work together to form a focused vision from Point A to Point B. I’ve learned that when that line gets straighter, your decision-making gets easier and the stress evaporates.

My Faves
All Day, Every Day
Besides meeting new humans, flowers are my favorite thing. You will 100% catch me smelling them (the flowers, not the humans.)
CAN’T GET ENOUGH
Jane Eyre – or any book by Agatha Christie.
ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE
At 16, I was asked to plan a summer-camp staff Christmas party. It was that experience that prompted this whole shebang.
EVENT MEMORY
Leading anti-racism education via Where To Begin
OTHER PASSION
I know I’m loved by God. This knowledge compels me to love all humans in the same way I am loved – just as I am.
UNSHAKEABLE BELIEF
Efficiency – there's always a way to save more time and energy! My non-stop new solutions kinda drive my family crazy, but this makes me a GREAT wedding professional.
COMPULSIVE NERDINESS
My husband of 15+ years (the best man I’ve ever met) and our two wildly opinionated, hilarious and constantly-creating kids
