I'm going to start out by saying that unfortunately, I wasn't able to hire Emily as my wedding planner because of my budget, but she got on a phone call with me knowing that and still spent 45 minutes talking to me about what I should expect, what my budget will get me, how I should find the right planner for me and walked me through venues that would fit into my budget. This was all at 6 pm on a Saturday night. If that isn't an inclination of how she will handle any wedding she plans, I don't know what is. I am truly so sad I couldn't work with Emily as she had exactly the aesthetic I wanted for my big day, and she was one of the sweetest, most attentive people I've ever talked to. She also asked me to shoot her an email once I figure out which planner I've hired and where I will have my wedding, just because she wants to see how wonderful my day will be. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has the budget to do so!! read more

Emily is the absolute best. She streamlined everything for my sister's wedding to the point that my own mother basically gave me an ultimatum that she wouldn't do my wedding without her! Emily made sure all details that could be were resolved way in advance which made the wedding day completely enjoyable. She knew how to (gently) handle a bunch of rowdy groomsmen during the rehearsal, she was focused on the details during all of the pictures to make sure they were perfect, and was a life saver when little things were needed throughout the day (such as safety pins, etc). Most importantly, she knows when to let the bride/groom make a decision and when to step in for them and handle something. This meant that the day felt just like the couple, but they didn't feel like they were overwhelmed with questions on the day. read more

Emily was the wedding planner for a wedding I recently was involved in and it was INCREDIBLE how well everything was run. I've been to weddings where things go so smoothly that no one notices, and to weddings where things go terribly wrong and it's very noticed but this was one of the first time I've attended one where the wedding went so smoothly that MANY people noticed and complimented the bride and groom for it. Strongly suggest! read more

Having worked in the event production industry for over 10 years I've worked with handfuls of different wedding event coordinators. During this time I've experienced the full spectrum of talent wedding coordinators showcase at their events. Nothing could have prepared me for what I experienced when I had the pleasure of working with Emily Coyne Events. Their are two kinds of people in this world, people that take pride in their work and those that don't. Emily Coyne goes so far beyond just taking pride in her events after experiencing her work during the final stages of event production. To say her meticulous preparation and creativity left me silenced is an understatement. Additionally, I found Emily very pleasant and professional to work with. Emily's timeline management and preperation was on point during the entire night. What I really enjoyed about working with Emily was the amount of information she provided all vendors which was empowering for everyone so that we could work in better cohesion which is what a multi vendor event is all about. Bottom line, when working with Emily Coyne, everybody shines because she is not only talented but a fantastic leader and team player which is something a value considerably. If you are in the market for a top tier event coordinator who is quickly making a name for her company, you would be well served to consider Emily Coyne. It's difficult to express or quantify the value Emily brings to the table though her work because it's not just one or two things she excels at but the treasure trove of talent and dedication she pours into her work. Truth be told, Emily's value becomes evident when experiencing the 50 million things she has thought of and has considered to make an event beyond spectacular. Please be sure to consider Emily Coyne as your next event coordinator if you are in need of planning the most unforgettable night for your guests. You will not be dissapointed. read more

Emily was hands down the best decision we could have made for our wedding. From our initial call, we felt a connection with her. Her attention to detail and high bar she sets for herself and her team were evident from that first conversation. Her proposal was the most thorough we received from the many planners we talked to. It was a worthwhile investment and we placed our trust in the force that is Emily Coyne. Throughout our 2 year planning process with Emily, there was never a day where we didn't feel like her highest priority. Taking on a limited number of weddings allows her to be intimately involved with her clients' planning process. There were things that we mentioned once that she remembered months later. As a gay couple, we were able to bend many traditional wedding "rules" and Emily was ecstatic to embark on planning with us and help us realize a dream day that was energetic, fun, personal and most of all, reflective of the love we share. We knew nothing about weddings, and Emily was ever-patient and held our hands every step of the way. Her checklists, documents and expert organization kept us on the right track and broke down everything into manageable tasks and discussions. She held to the budget we set and educated us on how the decisions we made would impact what we could do down the road, but also offered creative solutions to make things work! Emily was always available to jump on a call to answer our questions, tackle a difficult decision or take an idea that we had to the next level. She accommodated our schedules and found times that would work - including evenings and weekends. Every vendor she recommended was superb and she helped assemble an A-list team that made our wedding weekend remarkable. Every detail was so well thought out and cohesive. Planning a wedding during COVID was challenging and she navigated everything with such grace and professionalism. We were so lucky that our wedding was able to proceed as planned in July of 2021 at Park Winters. On a 102 degree day, Emily made her magic happen - choreographing an organized ballet of vendors all while looking flawless. When a button popped off of John's tuxedo jacket during photos, Emily was there to sew it back on. When the wrong meal came out for Justin, the correct meal appeared instantaneously. She even took the extra step of carving out a private moment for us after the ceremony where we could have some time together - complete with our favorite drinks and a selection of the appetizers. We were always directed to where we needed to be without paying any mind to the time or an upcoming speech or dance. With Emily running the show, we were allowed to be present in our day as we had complete trust in her. Emily designed, planned and produced a wedding that had never been done before; simply put, it was us. We heard from so many of our guests that this was the best wedding they had EVER been to. Every detail had been thought of. Everyone felt so taken care of. The design was stunning and like nothing anyone had seen before. Most importantly, it felt so personal and authentic and a true celebration of our love. There were smiles, happy tears, lots of laughs and so much joy. We have Emily to thank for all of it. We already miss hearing from her every day, but know that she will be a friend for life. She is simply a wonderful human being and we feel so grateful to have had her as our wedding planner. read more

We attended a wedding this weekend (Feb 4 & 5, 2022) where Emily and her team were the event coordinator(s). We attended several weddings with various event planners and usually do not write reviews. Emily and her team went above and beyond, I want to provide my feedback and appreciation. The first instance where I felt welcomed in a small way, was her immediate response to my simple question on the day of an event, on the shuttle times, if we miss it due to a change in our flight scheduled arrival. She promptly provided her team member contact information to schedule a pick-up if we miss the original shuttle. We arrived on time and made the shuttle with all the other guests. At the Friday event, one of our friends had a family emergency and had to fly back home immediately. We were at the venue frantically trying to contact Uber/Lyft to head to the airport, while dealing with the airlines on the flight schedules within a 3-hour window. Due to the sightly remote location and the urgency, we were unable to schedule a ride to the airport. Frieda, from Emily's team suggested a taxi, following up with the taxi services on the urgent timelines and updating us calmy till the taxi arrived within the hour. Our friends made the flight and the emergency passed and all was well at home. We could not have done this without the quick thinking by Frieda and her kind and calm handling a stressful situation for us. At the next days' event, I was further touched, when Frieda asked me how our friends who flew out were doing and stated that she was thinking about them. If they can provide such personal care to a guest, I can only imagine their dedication to the couple. Emily and her team were everywhere during the wedding weekend - providing a calm, knowledgeable, and friendly presence all weekend. Thank you, Emily, Freida and the team read more

I can't say enough good things about Emily! She was the planner for my daughters wedding last week at the Auberge in Napa. Emily handled everything with such attention to detail, nothing was missed! She helped my daughter in the months leading up to the wedding with securing all the venders and each one of them lived up to our high expectations. On the wedding day neither my daughter or myself had to worry about a single thing. Emily was on site from first light to late night and worked so hard to make sure that my daughters day was flawless. We went into the wedding relaxed and free of any stress. The day was perfection and ran completely on schedule. Not a single hiccup. Emily is simply the best! read more

Emily helped plan my wedding in July 2019 and I cannot recommend her services (and her as a person) more for anyone considering wedding planners. Here's why: Tl;dr: Emily is one of the best in the business who will very soon be INCREDIBLY difficult to book (or very (deservingly) expensive) so hire her ASAP. 1) THE ULTIMATE CREATIVE PARTNER: She is a thought partner who will spend hours pulling together your vision that you spoke about maybe just once (so less of a time suck on you) -- and will just get it right. And if she didn't, or if you're still exploring what you want, she'll also get on the phone with you Friday at 3pm to talk things out for 2 hours. After maybe just one initial meeting with Emily and a pitiful Pinterest board, she found my ideal florist (Meredith Law Design) who also ended up being such a great creative partner. I didn't have to work very hard at all to get to where I wanted to be.  2) PUTS YOU FIRST: If you need something urgently (or just want to run an idea past her) she'll reply to you incredibly promptly with a solution or answer -- or a promise to look into it as soon as she's back at her desk (or will even do so just on her phone). She entertains your ideas even if they're not good -- and if they're not good, she sort of listens to what you want and provides an even better idea. I felt like I had to do so little work. And then on the wedding day there was never a moment I worried that I wasn't going to be taken care of by her. I was definitely her first priority. One story that proves this point: Right before speeches I realized I had a huge white-head zit on my chin and I turned to her for help. She quickly sprung into action and helped me solve that issue in the bathroom (with her handy kit that she always had on her). It was just hilarious looking back on it, but in the moment was exactly what I needed!  She also will not have clients with consecutive wedding weekends because she wants to really be able to focus on each couple wholeheartedly. 3) GREAT WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS: My mom wanted to be informed about everything being planned, and Emily was so gracious including her (and later my mother-in-law) and spending so much time answering endless questions. And then she put together a full plan for my wedding party for the weekend so they had no excuses (I didn't even realize that was a service that was included!). On the wedding day she masterfully coordinated the wedding party and family for all the things, and all of them have said that they have never experienced as good of a planner as Emily. (My mom even contacted her a few months after the wedding and told her so after attending another wedding with a non-Emily wedding planner.) 4) HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS UNPARALLELLED: You will never stress about being behind schedule or that all the pieces haven't been thought through METICULOUSLY. Her schedules/planning books are the envy of every planner and why so many great vendors like working with her. She also kept me very on schedule throughout the year, providing templates and guidelines for everything we could possibly think of.  4) ABOVE AND BEYOND: Before we began we had not scoped Emily to help with transportation at all. But she graciously helped us get a good rate with the bus company -- so allowed us to use her connection even though she didn't have to. There were so many times she went above and beyond that mid-way through planning the wedding weekend we realized we couldn't plan the rehearsal dinner and farewell brunch without her!! When we included her there, she worked tremendously fast to get things together and was so lovely with my mother-in-law. Everything turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I highly recommend just hiring Emily for the entire weekend! 8) A GREAT HUMAN BEING: You spend so much time with your wedding planner, this is oddly one of the most important things to look for! Emily is the most pleasant, nicest person to be around, which made the relationship so easy. She even agreed to do a debrief with me a week after the wedding because I just needed to talk about every detail of the wedding with someone who knew everything and saw it from all angles. She was so kind to humor me -- and gave me the perspective I needed to process it all.   I seriously cannot recommend Emily enough -- better get to hiring her because she will soon be booked!! read more

I've been in a few weddings and Emily is so organized, calming, and manages everything perfectly. The wedding was beautiful and we (bridesmaids) had so much fun with her. Thanks Emily! read more

My family had the wonderful experience of working with Emily as the wedding planner for my son and daughter-in-law's recent wedding. Her logistical magic and patience throughout the whole process was simply amazing. I worked primarily with Emily on planning the welcome/rehearsal dinner and the farewell brunch. Her experience, knowledge of venues and vendors, and calm and competent demeanor made planning these events a joy. Although the wedding (and Emily) were a continent away, she was always available via phone and email. We wanted the dinner to reflect New England, where the groom grew up, and the brunch China. Working closely with the bride and groom, Emily came up with so many special touches that perfectly captured the look and feel they were looking for. She found cookies decorated with the colors and logos of the Boston sports teams close to the groom's heart, Cape Cod signs, and Chinese banners, special chopsticks, and keepsake spoons. Emily was everywhere during the wedding weekend - supervising vendors, keeping the family and wedding party on track and in communication with each other, and providing a calm, knowledgeable, and friendly presence all weekend. I don't know how many times I heard someone say, "Ask Emily!" Thank you, Emily!! read more

We were honored to have Emily Coyne as our wedding planner and coordinator at Auberge du Soleil in 2018. And I must say Emily Coyne is phenomenal. She is very professional yet very warming and sweet. Our wedding planning process was easy and we were able to enjoy every part of it. As a bride, we tend to stress out about everything whether it be the timeline, the vendors, the rehearsal, the weather .... there is always something. But with Emily, everything was smooth and stress free. She always responded to questions very quickly and if we had a concern, she listened and always provided a solution or back up. We selected and signed contacts our vendors: florist, photographer, videographer and entertainment/DJ, then Emily took care of the rest. She contacted them and discussed a timeline. She told them where to set and cued everything on time and on point. She even created a timeline for us and the wedding party so we understood what time hair and make-up occurred, photos, first looks, the ceremony, dances, etc. We had some items we wanted placed out such as a seating chart, the guest gifts, etc. She provided excellent suggestions on where they should be placed and we only had to tell her once how we wanted it and she had it down. The wedding rehearsal day only took 30 minutes. It was quick because she is just that organized and knows what she is doing. What I loved the most about Emily was that she was always thoughtful and remained calm throughout everything. When she spoke, you felt relaxed. She made sure we had a chance to enjoy our food and even made sure we were doing well during the getting ready before the ceremony. At one point, my make up artist was late and I was a bit worried that we wouldn't make it on time for photos. She calmly told me that we had plenty of time and not to worry. Everything worked out. I know this is a long review but honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. You all need to know! People always tell us that our wedding was marvelous and my wedding party still mentions how Emily was just fantastic. You won't be disappointed and anyone is lucky to have her assist on any special day. read more

Our daughter selected Emily for her recent wedding in Napa. Emily was detailed, calm, thoughtful, full of suggestions and ideas and made everyone's life easy, allowing the wedding to run smoothly. Listening to friends's experiences as mother-of-the-bride overwhelmed me with the number of details but between the bride and Emily, what was required of me was manageable. Emily answered all questions, letting us know in a timely manner what was needed from us. She also made suggestions when the scheduled makeup/hair artist was unable to work due to illness. Offering an alternative artist who was available and experienced before letting us know of the cancellation was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Emily. read more

Fair warning - I'm the husband in MN's review on here. I just wanted to offer an abridged version: I've worked with a lot of event planners and due to the many moving pieces, you often see them running around jumping from one fire to the next.  Emily never seems to have fires. During any event she is calm, cool, collected and so on top of everything, nothing is ever out of place or behind schedule.  She makes it look easy because of the Herculean efforts she puts forth behind the scenes. read more

My husband owns a business that frequently works with wedding and event planners throughout the Bay Area and wine country, and when we got engaged, there was only one name that came to mind for him. He built Emily up as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Personally, I think he undersold her. Working with Emily was nothing short of a perfect experience. From the moment we sat down with her to talk about our wedding vision, we knew we had found a treasure. Emily is incredibly smart and highly organized, with a keen eye for gorgeous aesthetics, and an unwavering commitment to class and elegance. Her years of experience planning weddings in the gorgeous Napa Valley has provided her with an incredible network of vendors that go above and beyond for her clients, and you will not find a single person in the industry who doesn't adore working with her. She is quick to respond to e-mails, flexible with the many modifications a bride may request, and attentive to even the smallest details that go into making an event perfect. That she is a pleasure to be around - with a great sense of humor and a gentle kindness that never falters - is just icing on the cake. She was the single best decision we made for our wedding, and we enthusiastically recommend her for all of your event planning needs! read more

Emily was born to do this job! Our wedding day was seamless, relaxed, and detail oriented thanks to her! Emily's kind, comforting, and soft personality is combined with great organization and drive. She handled all the last minute details with perfection, making my day as the bride so easy! She went above and beyond, adding surprises for me and my husband, ensuring we had all of our special moments. I strongly recommend Emily Christine Productions to anyone who wants to feel 100% taken care of on their important day, because she will do just that. read more

I would highly recommend Emily to any engaged couple; she is truly exceptional! While I was initially skeptical and apprehensive towards hiring a wedding planner, Emily proved herself to be invaluable with her remarkable services; alleviating all of those concerns that wedding planning entails from the start. Aside from being extremely responsive and prompt in her correspondence with myself and my fiance, Emily communicated with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a genuine eagerness to help us achieve our dream wedding. She was always thoughtful and meticulous in our frequent discussions regarding the management of logistics, vendor selection, and design; all of which remained consistent with her curated outline of our desired budget. Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly organized while providing knowledgeable guidance and insight to what Napa Valley has to offer. Emily's calming and positive demeanor made her an absolute pleasure to work with and she far exceeded our expectations! She was deeply committed to the success of our wedding and we will always be grateful. read more
