let's chat

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.

  • feeling stuck with old school wedding traditions and arbitrary “rules” 
  • ending up with some conventional wedding planner who doesn’t get you
  • the regret of having had a generic or mid wedding living rent-free in your head for the rest of your life. 


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

  • to skip or edit tradition 
  • a day that is a beautiful expression of your unique love story
  • a chill wedding short on rules and high on freedom 
  • a weekend of food, drink, music, and fun


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.

That’s why many DIYers go more traditional than they want (it’s just easier!) until they end up with a wedding much less personalized than their original vision.

On the other hand, leaning too much into Pinterest can turn plans for a cute and quirky day into an unfocused mess. 

UNFORTUNATE TRUTH TIME:

Pulling off an ultra-personalized wedding is way harder than Pinterest makes it look. 

The good news is: You can absolutely do your own thing, in your own way –                            

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.

unconventional

And stress-free weddings just hit different - can I get an ‘amen’? 

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

BOOK MY WEDDING

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

  • guest activities
  • rehearsal/welcome dinner
  • morning-after brunch 
  • actual ceremony & reception
  • and anything else happening during your wedding 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.

Includes planning, design and coordination for ALL wedding-related events, such as:

I didn’t have to worry about anything!

Emily was a huge help with everything and kept us on task throughout the year to make sure everything was perfect for the big day. When the day arrived she did an amazing job setting up and communicating with all of my vendors. She is very sweet and gets the job done!”

Other Ways To Work With Us

Note: Due to the creative investment we make in each wedding, we take on only a limited number of wedding & event planning and design clients each year. We’ve intentionally designed the following options to make our services accessible to more couples. 

  • budget creation
  • venue and vendor sourcing for your needs and style
  • custom wedding day schedule that prioritizes how you want to spend your time with family and friends
  • our concierge services (invitation and RSVP service, wedding website creation and management, guest welcome gifts and wedding favors) 
  • 90-minute-or-less wedding rehearsal 
  • 16 hours of fully-staffed (lead planner plus at least one assistant) wedding day coordination and direction

full wedding planning, design and event direction for the wedding day

All-Inclusive Wedding Day

Leave no detail overlooked and no decision up to chance. When you hand every detail over to us, you’ll find an amazing thing happens: the stress of the day evaporates…immediately. You can enjoy your engagement, and you can enjoy your day. 

Get all the stressful, detailed tasks you want done well taken off your plates and have a wedding that’s your own brand of unconventional.

We’ll work together to plan, design, and manage a beautiful, personal and smooth wedding day with a service that includes:

Investment starts at $8100

INQUIRE ABOUT THIS SERVICE

The perfect amount of support for couples with a budget under $35k who want a little help along the way and a hands-off wedding day

partial wedding planning, design and coordination

Partial Wedding Planning + Design

Instead of juggling follow-up emails, appointments with vendors, and answering Aunt Karen’s judgy questions about why you’re not doing this tradition or making that color choice, you can leave all that to us. We’ll be there all day on your wedding day, ensuring a smooth flow from start to finish. This service is more of a co-working option than all-inclusive planning but yields similar results for couples on a budget. 

This option is a book-end situation. We start by going over every idea you have and answering questions you’ve had since you started the process of planning your own wedding. Then, we'll create your budget, determine top priorities, focus the design vision, and recommend reliable vendors that fit your style and budget. 

You’ll get a detailed mood board to share with potential vendors as you continue planning your wedding, and we’ll meet for check-ins along the way. Then, in the last 60 days before the wedding, we'll jump back in to tie up all the loose ends.

The option for DIY couples planning their own wedding and wanting to enjoy the creative day they crafted stress-free

You deserve to enjoy the experience you created – not manage it! 

wedding coordination only

60-Day Coordination

Imagine, after all your hard work, showing up to your wedding day with nothing on your to-do list except “look fabulous” and “say your vows.” How good would it feel to spend meaningful time with the people you love and take it all in? 

In the last 60 days before your wedding, you bring us everything you've put together, and we'll jump in and take over, going over every detail with a fine-toothed comb. On your day, you can relax knowing you have a wing-woman from breakfast til the lights turn off.

Without coordination services, you run the risk of spending it attempting to peel protective layers off of acrylic table numbers without ruining your nails or crawling around a supply closet in your tux, trying to find an extension cord for an unprepared DJ.

The Process

(Make it weird!)

It’s only weird if you make it weird.

02/ Dream Team + Design

You bring your ideas and your personalities to the table; we bring the experience, expertise and connections to bring your unique wedding to life. 

Together, we’ll choose the perfect venue and vendor team for your uniquely quirky vision. We always recommend trustworthy businesses owned by women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ community first, and this has allowed us to channel lots of wedding planning dollars into deserving locally-owned small businesses. (We’re proud to say that the creative teams we put together are more diverse than the average wedding vendor partnerships – and great at what they do!)

We also really value your desire to work with specific wedding professionals. So, if you have a photographer you've been stalking for 10 years, we respect that. We’ll communicate your vision and needs to these pros, ensuring they’re a great fit and on board.

Once your venue is secured and your dream team assembled, we’ll work to create a beautifully offbeat design that’ll knock your socks off while remaining true to who you are. No cookie-cutter events here! Ever. 



01/ Coffee + Chat

let's meet

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.”

You (maybe):

A quirky wedding represents your authentic relationship. You and your partner are entrusting your full selves to each other, quirks and all, to love and be loved. 

The people celebrating with you know you best and love you best. When they get to see your true selves in the celebration, they really enjoy themselves! 

Quirks are FUN and unique to you. Using your quirks as inspiration (rather than some rando's Pinterest photos) will make your wedding unforgettable.

LET’S GET WEIRD

weird enough

Here's why:

So YES, you're weird enough to work with me – if you're willing to admit it. 

Oh sweetie, YES! Inside, we're all a little quirky. Some of us, for whatever reasons, feel more free to let those quirks come to light – but your wedding is the PERFECT place for it.

But am I
