3 Best Wedding Planners in Durham, NC

We had the most fantastic wedding experience working with Events by Emily. Emily and her team helped us plan our Bridgerton/English garden inspired wedding this past June at the Duke Chapel and Hope Valley Country Club as well as rehearsal dinner and Sunday brunch at the Washington Duke Inn. One of the reasons we chose to work with Emily was because of her experience with floral design and indeed, her ideas along with Bowerbird Flower’s made for the most enchanted wedding. We appreciated that Events by Emily was always quick to respond to our questions, were respectful of our budget, and alleviated so much wedding stress. On the day of, it was really helpful to have the Events by Emily team checking in on us frequently. All of our vendors recommended by Emily were amazing!! We truly think our wedding was carried out flawlessly and was the perfect celebration of our love story. B & T.

We used Emily's full service package for our wedding and it could not have been a better experience. I live out of state and work busy hours, and she was always flexible to either meet with me over Zoom or work with my parents in the area. Emily is extremely organized and always kept me on track. She was able to connect us with amazing vendor options and gave us her honest opinions. I came with a rough idea of what I wanted my wedding to be, and Emily was able to turn that into a full-fledged reality. She seemed to know what I really wanted even if I didn't say it! Everything went so smoothly the days leading up to and the day of; if there was anything that went wrong I certainly didn't know it!

We couldn't be happier with our wedding planner Daniel from Events by Emily's team! Our wedding was 55 family members in our home and Daniel helped us plan a very meaningful day. He connected us with excellent vendors - all who were professional and wondering. Daniel was a great listener who earned our trust immediately. He was able to turn our ideas into a vision and reality. I would highly recommend working with Events by Emily!

Eva was one of the reasons why our wedding went PERFECTLY! She was our day-of-coordinator and going with her was the best decision we ever made. She was suggested by our venue and once we started talking, she was incredibly helpful with excellent communication skills. She helped us build our timeline so that every detail accounted for. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she coordinated with all of our vendors and relieved so much stress for us. But her true skills shined during the wedding day. There were so many small details that popped up and she handled everything with ease. Eva is incredibly professional and is well tapped into the local wedding industry. She was an absolute rockstar on our wedding day. She was THE BEST VENDOR we had on our wedding day and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for your special day!!

Eva was our wedding coordinator and such a dream to work with! It was great to find an experienced day of coordinator with add on services like a few extra planning meetings so we could manage all the vendors and decisions but have that extra support to make sure we weren’t forgetting anything. She really embraced our vision, had great ideas and recommended vendors to help make it a reality. Eva is a great communicator, super organized and stayed so calm through everything. It was truly invaluable to know we had the details taken care of and could enjoy the day in a carefree way. Thanks for everything Eva!

We recently worked with Emily and Eva for the first time and we seriously can’t wait to again! They were rockstars on a very rainy wedding day and very fun to work with. Communicative, professional, and friendly, we would highly recommend this awesome team!
