About Wooded Wilds Events

Wooded Wilds Events

Head Planner

My goal is to make dreams come true for couples who are wildly in love. With over 5+ years of professional event planning experience, it is my true passion to work alongside future newlyweds to help guide them through the process of planning their dream wedding through the different packages I offer. I specialize in weddings and adventure elopements based in Western North Carolina. I’ll do the heavy lifting, your job is to soak in every blissful moment.

Before I got into the wedding planning industry, I served as an Event Director at a University in Nashville for 5+ years where I planned and executed hundreds of different types of events, hosting thousands of guests and prospective students on campus. Some events had upwards of 4,000 guests with so many moving parts so believe me when I say there is no wedding that intimidates me. My brain is wired to think through every minute detail and problem that could arise so we can avoid as many bumps in the road as possible. Event planning can be stressful but I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie and I truly enjoy the excitement of event days.

In three words: Calm, Confident, Organized

Description

I will plan your wedding from venue selection to wedding favors and everything in between. From concept to clean-up, I will do all the heavy lifting so that you both can simply enjoy this very special chapter in your lives. This package includes coverage of your entire wedding weekend. I will be on-site every step of the way to ensure each event rolls seamlessly into the next, including set-up, breakdown, transportation, vendor management & more.

For those who also like to plan but cannot commit the time it takes to organize a wedding on their own. Hand over the reigns and let me take over venue meetings and communication, vendor recommendations and booking, budget tips, design magic, and more! This offering is designed to allow couples a hands-on role in their planning activities along with my professional assistance to guide them along the way.

This is for my couples who march to the beat of their own drum and want your big day to be far different than the traditional wedding. Planning for a wedding, even an intimate one, can be stressful! Whether you are craving adventure or calm, this package is designed for the couple who wants an elevated experience on a smaller scale. Perfect for an elopement, micro-wedding, or recommitment of vows.

This service is perfect for the DIY bride who did the bulk of the planning and now wants a professional to swoop in and tie up any loose ends in the month leading up to the big day. This is a perfect option if you want to plan the majority of your wedding, but need a professional wedding coordinator in the background to answer questions, offer advice and coordinate the details on the wedding day.

    Working with Emily has been such a breath of fresh air. She is extremely detail orientated which is so important when there are a million details to be sorted through. Her strengths are just what is needed to coordinate and plan the most important day of a bride and groom's life. I have no doubt that at the end of that day, when the dust has settled, you will have nothing but happy and satisfied families and couples who will know that they made the best decision to put their day in Emily's hands.
