 creative designs | offbeat plans | optional traditions

Deep down,              

we’re all a little weird-

and if you can’t embrace and celebrate that on your wedding day…when can you? 

Sound like you? You’re our people.

  • pretending to be someone you’re not just to fit inside outdated wedding rules
  • babysitting vendors, chasing emails, or triple-checking timelines the week of your wedding
  • a conventional planner who doesn’t quite get your vibe (or your values)
  • the regret of a generic, mid wedding living rent-free in your head forever

When it comes to your wedding, you know what you want…

  • to skip, edit, or reinvent traditions so your celebration actually reflects you
  • a design that feels layered, intentional, and unmistakably that’s so them
  • to be in the driver’s seat creatively, making the big decisions without managing the logistics
  • a wedding day (or weekend) where you get to host, feel, celebrate, and be fully present

And what you don’t want…

Your people know your quirks – and they love you for them. 

So let your wedding look and feel like YOU! When we create a plan from the best parts of you, it will delight all the people who love and know you best.

The quirky couples and the creative rebels, those seekers of chill vibes and buckers of tradition—all the wonderful weirdos facing the blank canvas of a wedding day.  The offbeat adventurers, the lifelong party animals, and all wildly celebratory humans, unafraid of bringing their truest selves to the party planning process.  And for those creative brands and nonprofits whose dreams and planned impacts expand far beyond some arbitrary box.

and we can help.

Pinterest makes it seem like you just pick a vibe, book a few vendors, light some candles, and boom, magic. Listen, we love the confidence, but ultra-personalized, outside-the-lines weddings come with moving parts. Design direction, vendor alignment, contracts, timelines, logistics no one warns you about, and approximately 800 tiny decisions that lead straight to decision fatigue.

It’s not that bold couples lose their vision. They just get tired of managing it by chasing emails, comparing proposals, and being the project manager of their own party.

Without someone steering the ship, creative and quirky can tip into unfocused, overwhelming, or expensive in the wrong places.

UNFORTUNATE TRUTH TIME:

Pulling off an ultra-personalized wedding while actually living your actual life is a lot harder than it looks.

The good news is: You don't have to choose between a wildly personalized wedding and keeping your sanity—

That’s what all-inclusive planning is for: you stay in the vision, and we handle the orchestration. Magic, but make it managed.

We are experts in bringing “outside-the-lines” wedding visions to life. 

As professional               with an eye for detail, we have a unique knack for combining                            motifs with meaningful details into a beautiful and fun day. 

weirdos

unconventional

And stress-free weddings just hit different - am I right? 

We also take a WHOLE LOT of stress off your plate.

you're going for...

No matter what

  • bold colors
  • immersive experiences
  • a sword fight instead of a first dance
  • a fun blending of both your cultures
  • ditching the dress for a killer crop top and pants situation


The sky is the literal limit and we’re here for it.

a note on style:

differently…

In an age when many wedding designers work with the aesthetic of their own Instagram grid in mind, I do things a little                       

Hi, friend! I'm Emily.

Founder | Lead Planner | Wedding Weirdo

I’ve been planning wildly different weddings since 2017, and variety is the fruit of creativity. 

I care more about crafting weddings that are unique and wildly different from each other (because YOU are all wildly different from each other) than using your wedding day to showcase my work in some matchy-matchy way. And I think that’s a good thing. 

Let’s make my grid messy together.

Weekend

Signature Service

All-Inclusive Wedding

complete planning and design service for your multi-day event

inquire for additional locations

always available in the contiguous U.S

perfect for destination weddings, weddings with plenty of out-of-town guests, and any couple who wants to gift their friends and family an unforgettable weekend

The average ceremony-cocktail hour-reception event just won’t do. You want to treat your loved ones (and yourselves!) to an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime wedding weekend, filled with special moments, surprise experiences, and time to be totally removed from everyday life. 

When you hand it over to us, the entire planning process of wedding-related events is managed for you. You still get to do the fun parts (tours, tastings, design approvals, etc) and we do all the rest.  

We’ll work with you to build a wedding weekend schedule that prioritizes how you want to spend your time with family and friends and then do the footwork of ensuring your friends and family feel special, comfortable, and well-fed.

We think in story arcs instead of isolated events for wedding weekends: the buildup, the big moment, the dance-floor chaos, and the sleepy, happy exhale the next morning.
Maybe that means:

  • A rehearsal dinner with personality
  • Guest experiences that feel intentional, not obligatory
  • A ceremony and reception that actually move
  • A brunch that’s more than cold pastries and small talk

If it’s part of your weekend, it’s considered, cohesive, and handled. Because your wedding weekend is a whole experience, and we’re here to make sure it flows like one.

Customized pricing starting at $13,500

INQUIRE ABOUT THIS SERVICE

My husband and I had a very clear vision of our wedding, and it was so important that our quirks and personalities shone through in every aspect of the day.

Emily was fully supportive of that from our first conversation with her, and that meant a lot to me.

We had the best experience with Emily and her team! We did a lot of things non-traditionally, and Emily saw the vision and helped bring it to life.

Logistically, everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding, and I don't even know all that went into it, because Emily did so much behind the scenes that I didn't even need to worry about it. All the tools she provided helped me and my husband keep track of everything we needed to get done leading up to the wedding, too.

One thing that I think really speaks to the quality of Emily's work is that all our other vendors spoke so highly of working with her. Our venue coordinator, who had never worked with Emily previously, said she had a gentle and calming presence, and I can't think of higher praise for someone managing all the details of a hectic day.

Overall, I can't say enough good things about Emily, who - on top of being a great wedding planner - is also a lovely person who I genuinely miss talking to regularly, and who has the utmost integrity.

INQUIRE ABOUT THIS SERVICE

The day was beautiful, and we owe it all to Emily.

Words do not do justice to the talent Emily brings to planning your event. Most people have a vision for their wedding; I did not. I gave Emily a few words like "wild flowers" and "pink," and she created the most beautiful aesthetic by steering me in the direction of vendors she thought could pull it all together. We curated a team of professionals that knocked it out of the park. 

The whole day went perfectly with no hiccups, and if there were hiccups, we didn't know about them. 

Any idea we had, she made it fit even if it seemed like it didn't. I would recommend Emily and her team for any event you are trying to organize. 

Why do it on your own when you can have the best help you can?

The Process

02/ Dream Team + Design

You bring your ideas, your quirks, your “this might be weird but…” thoughts. We bring the experience, the strategy, and the kind of vendor relationships you can’t Google.

We work exclusively with our approved creative partners because we’re protective of your experience, your investment, and your day.

We’ve spent years building a vendor community we trust deeply, artists and professionals who show up, communicate well, respect timelines, and execute at a high level.

Just as importantly, we intentionally prioritize working with businesses owned by women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. 

Your wedding dollars matter. We make sure they circulate with intention.

The creative teams we assemble aren’t just talented; they’re aligned with your values, your vision, and with us.

Yes, if you’ve been lovingly stalking a photographer for a decade, we get it. If they align with our standards and process, we’ll explore bringing them into the fold. We’re collaborators, not gatekeepers.

Once your venue is secured and your dream team assembled, that’s when the real fun begins.

We translate your personality into a design that feels layered, intentional, and a little bit rebellious. Something immersive, something emotional, and something that makes your guests say, “This is SO them.”

No cookie-cutter vendor lineups or plug-and-play aesthetics.

Just a thoughtfully-built creative team executing a celebration that could only belong to you.

01/ Coffee + Chat

TEXT US TO SCHEDULE

Let’s get to know each other! We want to see if we make a good team – especially if we’re going to be spending a lot of time together! We want to hear your story – how you met, how you fell in love, ways you've stuck together, and how you plan to always. 

You can ask your questions about our services, and we’ll give you honest answers. We want you to make the most informed decision you can, choosing the one that will serve you best.


03/ Your Celebration, Your Way.

Throughout the planning and on your wedding day, we’ll advocate on your behalf to ensure your desires and plans are honored, no matter how avant-garde – even if that means having a sit-down with Aunt Karen. 

Your team of professionals will produce, coordinate and manage your wedding day down to the last detail. All that’s left for you to do is to sit back, breathe, enjoy your guests – and the best party of your life!

Kind Words

“My daughter was a very laid-back bride – so much so I called her ‘BrideChilla.’ She was driving me crazy by taking too long to make final decisions. Emily assured me not to worry; she had it under control – and she held true to her word.

She sent reminders, stayed in contact via Zoom consultation with my daughter who lived out of state, and kept her on top of everything by emailing due dates, sending texts and calling when necessary. If you’re looking for a stress-free, enjoyable wedding day, she’ll help make your dreams come true.”

Totally fair.

You don't have to go all-in to work with us

Maybe you don’t need comprehensive planning, just clarity, structure, and a logistics pro in your corner.
If you’re building your celebration your own way and want strategic backup, we’ve got options for that too.
