About Emily Nuzzo Events

Emily Nuzzo Events

Owner and planner

Hi there! I am Emily and I am so excited you found your way here. I have a passion for curating one-of-a-kind weddings that showcase a couple’s individuality. It is important for me to get to know couple’s personally, what makes them excited about their wedding day and how I can alleviate any planning stress (ew, we don’t want stress). Consider me your right-hand gal, your “planner in your pocket”, your sounding board and the gal that will make sure your wedding day is flawless!

I fully believe there are no rules when it comes to wedding planning. Each wedding day is meant to be a unique and special reflection of the couple. Let’s start planning your special and one-of-a-kind day together!

In three words: Calm, Collaborative, Fun

    Emily was amazing! We worked with her for planning, starting from about 15 months before the wedding date, as well as day-of coordinating, and she was an incredible help time after time. Whenever we were stuck trying to figure out vendors or even basic things like the color scheme, Emily was able to help us make progress and stayed really kind and patient throughout, even with what were probably fairly dumb questions at least some of the time. (After all, I don't think either of us ever planned a party for more than a dozen people at a time, so it was invaluable to have help from someone so experienced as Emily!) Emily was great at keeping track of timelines and helped focus us on which decisions needed to be made sooner and what we could leave for later. When we decided to add a tea ceremony as part of the wedding, Emily didn't bat an eye and was so helpful with getting those extra details sorted. There can be so many times while planning a wedding where it’s hard to know how to even approach an important decision, including just communicating w/ guests & family and her expertise, advice, and care kept us from getting stuck more times than we can count! Even though you would expect an event planner to be very rigid in saying how things should go, Emily is not robotic at all and we loved how spontaneous and open to brainstorming different options she always was! The night before and morning of the wedding, we were a bit stressed, but once we were at our venue and Emily was back involved, things went incredibly smoothly and we had a day filled with joy and love. One of Emily's assistants, Alaina, was also there to help w/ day-of details and she was also so nice, calm and capable! Emily even stepped in as an emergency emcee for us when our previous plans fell through 2 weeks before the wedding & our guests loved her humor & warmth during the reception too!

    Hire Emily now. Do it. You won't regret it in the slightest. When I first got engaged, I was STRESSED and didn't know where to begin with vendors. One of my co-workers was working with Emily and explained how she was helping them, and I was sold. I NEEDED help. Working with Emily was the best decision in our entire wedding planning process. She had amazing vendor and design recommendations, kept me on track with all of my tasks, communicated with all the vendors, and so much more. She was always there to ease my nerves and answer all of my questions. I seriously would have given up and eloped if it weren't for her. She was even more amazing during our wedding weekend. She executed a flawless rehearsal, and was there to tackle any and all tasks on the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about a thing and was able to truly enjoy the day. She was so calm and easy-going, while still keeping us on schedule. I cannot say enough good things about Emily. She is amazing and I know I have gained a friend for life.

    Our day would not have gone so smoothly without Emily. From the planning sessions to the walk throughs to the texts and emails, Emily was happy to answer any and every question. She was supportive of our crazy ideas and provided insight to make them even better. She navigated differing opinions and lots of questions from family members. Emily became part of the family. She handled it all with ease. We could not recommend Emily enough!
