Hire Emily for your wedding planner!

Emily is GREAT! We met early on, but I had Emily for my month of planner. She is so friendly, professional, organized, knows so many vendors and people, and was willing to help with anything and everything. Even though she was my month of planner, I do wish I had her throughout my entire wedding planning process. We did have some helpful meetings prior to the month of, so she was helpful throughout the wedding planning process. She ensured things ran smoothly the day of and helped me SO much. The month of the wedding is overwhelming and she made this process so much easier for me. I would recommend Emily to every bride and groom. Thank you SO MUCH Emily.

Our Dream Wedding

Choosing Emily Messinger as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made during this process. She helped make our dreams a reality. We, and our families, were so happy with the way the day flowed. Emily was so on top of every detail, lifting stress off of our shoulders. Throughout the process, she was so responsive to our needs and thoughtful in her approach. In a short amount of time, she connected us with amazing vendors who beyond delivered. She coordinated all of the pieces and parts with ease. Her assistant, Michaela, was also amazing to work with the day of our wedding.

Emily was very personally invested and our wedding would not have been the same without her. We are so blessed and thankful to have known and worked with her.

We highly recommend Emily and her team!!!!

The Exhale Events Team Made My Day

As a wedding planner and coordinator myself, it was super important that I hired a coordinator for my own wedding day so I could relax! However, I was extremely nervous to hand over all the details to someone else. When I spoke with Emily initially she was so energetic and joyful and it was her warmth that drew me to her. When we began working together I knew she was a great fit! She covered all the details of my wedding thoroughly, worked well with all my vendors and executed everything just as I had envisioned. She was such a big help! My parents (who were reluctant to hire a coordinator) even commented after the wedding "Emily was so great!". She truly helped make my wedding so perfect and she did so with great energy! I'm so so SO thankful I hired her! From a brides stand point, and a wedding professionals stand point, Emily and the Exhale events team are a tremendous group!

I always enjoy working with Emily! She has a gift of being able to put everyone at at ease, even during the most stressful of situations--A true gift. She is also very upbeat and positive and has a very calming personality--these are great traits to have in a wedding planner/coordinator. She is also incredibly organized, efficient, and very experienced. As a wedding pianist who performs for many weddings each year, and who works with a variety of wedding planners/coordinators, I can tell you she is the best in the business.
