“If you take ONE piece of advice from me for your wedding: hire an incredible planner. And not just any planner - hire Ember and Stone Events.
I’m not exaggerating when I say working with Niki and the Ember and Stone Events team was the best decision we made (and honestly what made everything else we spent money on actually worth it). You can have the most beautiful venue, florals, dress, etc., but if the logistics fall apart or you’re stressed the whole day… none of it hits the same. They make sure it all hits.
From day one, the execution and organization were next level. Every detail was thought through ahead of time, timelines were airtight, and on the wedding day everything flowed so seamlessly that neither we nor our guests had a single clue how much was being managed behind the scenes, which is exactly the point. That is elite planning.
Design-wise… I don’t even have words. Their portfolio already speaks for itself, but seeing them bring our vision to life was something else. We wanted a very specific, less traditional vibe and they absolutely nailed it - like, beyond what I could have imagined. I’m also extremely picky, and I literally cried during our room reveal because it was so stunning. They just get it, whether you want classic, high-end elegance or something more creative and unique.
What really sets Ember and Stone Events apart though is how they work with you. Niki was always available (I could literally book time with her whenever I needed), handled ALL vendor communication flawlessly, and never dragged us into unnecessary back-and-forth or stress. If something needed our input, she came to us with clear options and recommendations—otherwise, she just handled it. Quietly, efficiently, perfectly.
They also know all the best vendors in town, but aren’t pushy at all. If you want to bring in your own people, they’ll help vet them and make sure they’re solid. And they’re amazing at helping you stay on budget without compromising the vision.
On a personal level, Niki is just such a joy to be around—genuine, calm, sparkling energy. And when I say she had our backs… she even handled a family situation that popped up on the wedding day so flawlessly that I barely had to think about it. That alone is priceless.
I’m a very type-A, detail-oriented person, and let me tell you- wedding planning is a completely different beast. Ember and Stone Events somehow give you the perfect balance of control and peace of mind. You can be as involved as you want, but you never have to carry the stress.
Because of them, my husband and I were able to fully be present and actually enjoy our wedding day. Not once did we think about logistics, timing, vendors - nothing. We just lived in the moment, which is exactly how it should be.
Long story short: hiring Ember and Stone Events isn’t just a good decision, it’s THE decision. Could not recommend them more if I tried!”
