Ok ok – so I still have some more major updates to share with you. #bigchanges

This Fall, I partnered with Portland’s newest Community Event Venue, The Den. The Den is located at 116 SE Yamhill in Portland’s culturally rich SE Waterfront Industrial Area. The space is perfect because it has a long standing history as an event venue, with 5,000 square feet of flexible usable space, divided into five main functional areas: The Ballroom, two studios, the foyer, and the bar area. One of the reasons I am so excited about this is because I have partnered as their Event Sales Manager – meaning I am responsible for selling and hosting all private event rentals in the space. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity – being a Venue Manager and helping to spool up a business in this way has always been a deeply seeded passion of mine and I have enjoyed every opportunity that led me down this path.

Why this also matters:

Many organizations struggle to find a venue large enough to host corporate events, seating upwards of 300 guests. The ballroom can seat 300 in Reception style at rounds, which is an incredible revenue opportunity for fundraisers, galas, and ticketed workshops, conferences, and meetings. It’s also a great spot for proms and social events, separating the bar and food area from your main entertainment space. The Den also offers two VIP rooms, which also serves as a Bridal Dressing room with plenty of space for all of your friends and a vanity table for makeup sessions, and a Grooms ready room with comfortable lounge furniture, a mini fridge, and full mirrors. The space is minority owned and also serves as a night club for world class live music. I’m just so damn excited to call this place my home base for a while!

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 my consultation services during this time period. 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

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.
