At this time, I am not taking on any additional clients for coordination and event management services for the remainder of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. With my busy schedule, I can only handle officiant-type bookings or work with you through the venue I manage, OMSI. This is a good thing for me – maybe a not so great thing for you and I recognize that and do apologize. I recommend that if you are seeking a planner from the Portland Metro Area, that you please research and source a Certified Wedding Planner. They will come equipped with a multitude of not only experience, but resources such as deep partner discounts they can pass along to you as their client. They exist – they are not a unicorn! How do I know this? Because I am one too! Love to you all and I wish you all the best on your next adventures! ❤ –Emily

Certified Wedding Planner – Graduated!
With the Covid-19 pandemic, I have had time to pivot my business and advance my knowledge within the Industry. I have just passed an advanced certification course, and am happy to announce that I am a Certified Wedding Planner, or CWP for short. With that, I will be increasing my service fees to meet the national average and position myself more competitively.

Please note – service rates increase by 35 % to meet market demands on August 1st. Book now to lock in lower rates.

Covid has us all changing our plans. I can help. As an ordained officiant and certified and insured wedding planner, there is a lot of advice I can give in these uncertain times. Message to learn more.

The Ash is Falling
Three summers ago, when I started this business, I coordinated a sweet little wedding out near Corbett.
My thoughts are with the host family as they are in the area on the evacuation list from the Eagle Creek Fire.
I have so much anger towards those teens who mindlessly started the fire. A lot of precious memories and resources are burning out there.
