We received so many compliments from our guests on how great Emily was as our officiant! 100/10 would recommend her to anyone!! She starts off with a quick introduction meeting to get to know you as a couple. Next, you and your spouse fill out an extensive questionnaire together and separately. Emily creates your vows based on the answers from the questionnaire. We needed very few revisions from the original draft. Overall, it was a great experience and would absolutely go with Emily again if I had to do this process again.

She was dependable, professional, and comfortably partnered with us to efficiently step through the planning process. We hosted a very small wedding at our house to make our decades-long relationship official -- and Emily didn't skip a beat fitting into the family dynamics. We highly recommend Emily and Smitten State Weddings!

Thank you for not deleting my review as you've done here previously. I don't think criticizing a so…read morecalled professional is harassment. Or threatening. But you didn't leave my posts up for people to decide. I wish you would have. Since you asked for specifics: 1) as the officiant, my written portion of the ceremony was texted to the bride and groom more than a week before the wedding. Sent to them as soon as they requested them. It was their VOWS which were handed to me just before the ceremony. The vows you and my daughter in law used MY printer to print them off after writing them the day of the wedding. In an attempt to salvage my job as officiant, I sat down with the printed vows and started writing them into my officiant's book. It was then that you told me I had 10!!!! Minutes to get dressed and ready for pictures. I was absolutely shook. It was a total change in plans from the wedding rehearsal the day before where I was told pics would happen afterward. Changes in plans happened over and over the day of the wedding. It threw everyone off. Including the bride telling the grandparents to arrive an hour early and then YOU told them they weren't needed there. No professional pictures were taken of the grandparents and bride and groom because of you. 2) I was there for the whole rehearsal as the wedding happened where I live, on our farm. I guess you forgot that it was two groomsmen and their bridesmaids wives who missed the day before rehearsal (a known challenge) As the coordinator you didn't schedule any time to "rehearse them". So they didn't know where to stand or when to sit down. But you wouldn't know that. Because you were not PRESENT at the actual ceremony. You were somewhere else on our property. And after the ceremony, you approached me and asked "how did it go?" To which I said "NOT Good!" 3) do you remember me noticing the timeline you had in your hands, and asking you why none of the wedding party had a timeline to know what was happening and when? You said "uhhhhhhhhh the bride has one". 4) you stopped speaking to the groom once he expressed incredible frustration with you. You stopped speaking with me once I did the same. 5) I told you that we'd be speaking after the wedding weekend about all of the "misses and mistakes" that had happened to that point. So as not to further stress out the bride and groom. When they asked for a partial refund you refused and immediately said they were "defaming" you. 6) do you remember I paid a wedding flower consultant six weeks prior to the wedding to help me with my job of finishing touches decorating the farm grounds? I didn't know she also did wedding coordinating. She asked me "where is the bridal party walking out? And where are they standing? My response. "I don't know?" Her: "what kind of alter or podium are you using " me "I don't know" she asked five more questions I didn't have answers to. She got more and more concerned which every one of my "i don't knows" stating that for her clients all of these questions would have answers at this stage in the planning. So we went to the pole barn and asked my son, the groom. He didn't know any answers either. When they confronted you, you assured them everything was fine!!When it came time for the wedding weekend we were still in the dark about most things. Even though you kept professing everything was handled. You were totally out of your depth. As stated above you didn't even ensure the vows were to the officiant until an hour before the wedding. 7) do I think you're unprofessional? I certainly do. I asked a wedding planner forum on Facebook how many of them wait until the day before the wedding to figure out the tables and seating arrangements? How many of them curl their hair at the home of the wedding host before the wedding ceremony? How many of them wear such a short dress that they keep tugging at the bottom to pull it down during the entire reception. All FB responses were HORRIFIED and deemed your behavior as so out of bounds one said she stopped breathing when she read table configurations weren't decided on until the day before the wedding. And NONE of them curl their hair an hour before the ceremony. I could go on and on and on. So let's have the yelp audience weigh in. You're not only a terrible wedding planner, most of your response to my review is a lie. I'm warning potential wedding couples of your services. I think your services sucked. Bad. People deserve to know. And I have all the witnesses.

During the process, Nicola was very organized and professional, and was very accepting that we did not need her full services. But she did provide us with an excellent timeline of where we should be during the planning process, as well as provided us with solid vendor recommendations. Was also more difficult because one of us was organizing the wedding from long distance, and we very much appreciated her help in supporting our local family in accomplishing all our goals. Our wedding turned out flawlessly and we owe part of her to her organization and mindfulness.

It was more expensive than we had anticipated, but they were willing to work with me when I asked about cutting costs where we could. While I was initially concerned that the bouquets didn't look like the inspiration I sent, I quickly realized that they were possibly even better.

I don't know if I can put into words how appreciative I am of her work and her friendship. I am pretty laid-back about everything, wedding planning included, and this could have made Kayla's job incredibly tough... given the fact that I didn't give her much direction. Kayla took the few ideas that I tossed her way and turned them in to an absolute dream- it was like I handed her a seed, and she turned it in to the most beautiful garden I'd ever seen. There was not a moment during the planning process OR our wedding day that I worried about a single detail; I knew that if I was thinking of something, Kayla had already thought of it and it was already taken care of. Aside from Kayla's work ethic and obvious skill, she is the sweetest, most genuine soul on the planet. You will feel so at ease every time you talk and you'll probably want to be her best friend :) Do yourself a favor- have Kayla plan/coordinate your wedding and rest assured that it will turn out better than you ever could have imagined.
