“Complete excellence!”

The entire team was incredible for my special day. They made the planning and execution of the wedding so seamless. I had heard so much about how stressful planning a wedding was but with this team it felt like a breeze. They came beyond prepared and truly gave us their all. I cannot recommend them enough!

Simply Amazing!

The Main Event by Emily made our wedding event so easy and stress free. When my daughter got engaged it was very important to me to be able to enjoy her day and be hands off and that is exactly what I got with The Main Event by Emily! From the very beginning our planner was on top of the smallest details. She listened and took care of the big things but also managed such detail to the smallest of things as well. The flowers and decorating were more beautiful that I could have imagined. I would highly recommend them for any event. I honestly believe my daughters special day would not have been as amazing without the team we had around us allowing us to enjoy every second!

“Worth every penny!”

I can’t say enough how great Emily and her team are!! They made sure my day was flawless and kept all of the stress off me. My coordinators and design team were all so great - they were so professional but also so easy to get along with and fun. They did such an amazing job with all of my flowers and decor; I told them my vision and they really made it come to life. Can’t recommend them highly enough!!

We had our wedding planned by The Main Event and truly recommend this business. We started our planning with a coordinator who was fantastic and attentive and answered all our questions in a timely manner, and unfortunately (for us!) she left the business to pursue another career path (yay for her!). I mention this because we had an AMAZING transition to another coordinator who made sure that everything was handled thoroughly and smoothly. Ashley was everything I could have asked for in a coordinator and she really helped to calm my nerves and help our big day go smoothly. I never felt like I couldn't ask her a question because she always had a great answer and was a very friendly and wonderful woman. It really made a big difference on the day of. Emily personally designed for us and we loved the beautiful and thoughtful way she arranged everything at our ceremony and reception. We loved every part of what this business had to offer and highly recommend them for your wedding!

“Nothing short of perfect!!!”

I decided to book a coordinator and designer through The Main Event by Emily and it was 1000% the best decision I could have made. I worked mostly with Ashley G. and Emily. These ladies pay attention to all details, even the ones you don’t think of. They worked with me to not only bring the vision I had for my wedding to life, but to also ensure my wedding day was seamless and smooth. I cannot express how worth it is. Seriously, if you are doubting it, it’s WORTH IT! I’m extremely grateful to have had the pleasure of working with these ladies. My big day was perfect!

“Married In a Hurricane; My Day Turned Out Stress Free Thanks to Emily's Team”

I used the Event Coordinating and Floral/Design Coordinating Services by 'The Main Event by Emily'. I was referred to Emily's team by a friend who used them for her wedding last year. Emily and her team are very passionate about what they do. I really didn't know what questions to ask in the planning phase, but they knew all the questions and made me feel like I wasn't missing any important items. Emily also had a plethora of décor for any desired style so I didn't have to buy the décor myself. She also provided my photobooth backdrop, complete with a vintage sofa and chair which everyone loved. The weekend of the wedding, Hurricane Ian was going to roll through and Ashley S., my coordinator, worked with all of my vendors when we had to change venues. The day of the wedding actually turned out very stress free for me. Emily's team set up at my ceremony location and reception location, and Ashley was right there beside me and working in the background with her assistant, making sure everything was going smoothly all day. She helped coordinate the ceremony rehearsal the night before, formal photos, and even coordinated the packing up of our car so at the end of the reception, we were able to leave for our hotel with everything we needed for the weekend away! :) I definitely recommend them for any bride looking for a personalized experience.

“I cannot say enough good things about this company, if you think you can do a wedding without a planner/good florist then good luck to you. Our coordinators/design/floral team went ABOVE and BEYOND our expectations. This was money WELL spent! The day of my wedding was spend relaxing in the bridal suite while Emily and her team did all of the heavy lifting and set up! They are so easy to work with and she brought my vision to life, making my day absolutely perfect. She does not nickel and dime you with every single flower or garland you want, she has an overall package and a floral budget which actually ended up saving us a large amount of money in the long run. Please please please reach out to this company and give them a shot, they will absolutely blow you away with their amazing work! I cannot say enough good things.”

Every single team member went above and beyond to make sure that our day was exactly what we wanted and that everything went off without a hitch. Emily and her design team took a few pictures that represented my vision and brought it to life in the best possible way--the flowers, the ceremony area, the table scapes, everything. The coordination team was AMAZING --they took away the stress of vendor coordination, the flow of the day, time keeping and answering anyone and everyone's questions on the day of. THANK YOU ALL!

“Emily and her team made my dream wedding come to life! From our first meeting to our last, Emily completely understood my vision. She had many new ideas to offer, and her shop is filled with everything possible to make your wedding happen. Emily and her design team have this thing down to a science, so they work efficiently but uniquely. They also provide all floral arrangements at the most amazing prices. My wedding was everything I dreamed up in my head and more. I would not change a single thing from my wedding design/décor, and for that, I thank The Main Event. I will recommend her to any bride planning her wedding, and would give 6 stars if I could.
My lead wedding coordinator, also did a fantastic job. She is thorough, detail oriented, and so so friendly! I felt like I knew her for years during our first meeting. She takes her time with each meeting and adapted so easily to any changes I wanted to make. My mom and I thought we had the planning thing under control- until she joined us in the month-of planning. We realized how much we needed her assistance and expertise. When we had questions or concerns, or when confusion arose, she handled it all. She was the communicator between all vendors, which I cannot stress how much we needed that. She made our month leading up to the wedding so calm and controlled, and the wedding went so smoothly thanks to her and her assistant! I will forever thank them for their services, and I know our wedding was so successful because of them! Overall, I can’t recommend The Main Event enough. These ladies are amazing and I 100% believe everyone needs them in their wedding planning. If you’re on the fence about using their services, I promise you, you NEED them.”

“I’ve been reluctant to write this review only because no matter what I write, my words will never be able to do justice to the perfection that Emily and her team created for my daughter and son in law’s wedding day! We first met Emily well over a year ago and within minutes, this wonderful woman totally got our vision. While that impressed me, the micro manager in me thought, I’m sure I’m going to have to get way more involved in every nitty gritty detail if this is going to be perfect. I was totally wrong.
So Emily is beyond ahhhhhmazing! But what about her team? Well she sure knows how to pick them! Hannah works with Emily on design. That young lady gets it and then takes it way beyond what you could have ever imagined. Royall was our lead event coordinator. Scratch that….Royall was supposed to be our lead event coordinator but quickly became part of our family. Immediate trust and faith in Royall came easily just by talking to her. Any anxiety you have about things going off the rails is totally eradicated. Attention to detail and making sure that you are one thousand percent taken care of are just two of her strong suits. I truly cannot say enough about how blessed we were because of her! Ashley was there at every turn, working in conjunction with Royall. Whatever we needed, from eyelash glue to not sticking the groomsmen with those awful buttoner pins, she was on point! On the day of the event, there’s a crew of people that come in and work to execute everything you’ve dreamed of and then some. I probably won’t ever know their names, but I want to thank them as well. They were like fairies working their magic. You literally took my breath away as I looked around at all that had been created! The thought of planning a wedding is overwhelming, but I guarantee you this. You cannot put a price tag on the joy and peace of mind this talented team of dynamite individuals will bring to that special day and everyday leading up to it!!!! So, if you are considering using The Main Event, hurry up and just do it before someone else comes along and snags your date!”

“Emily and her team are the absolute best! We postponed our original wedding date in May due to COVID, and Emily was more than accommodating. I am a very organized person with all sorts of Pinterest boards and Emily welcomed all of my ideas and even came up with better ones. Her design for my wedding was beyond what I was thinking in so many good ways! It came all together perfectly.
Now I want to praise my wonderful coordinators. They were beyond. I had been working with my Lead Coordinator since the month before my wedding, and we talked almost every day. She deserves an extra award for just putting up with me. She made everything so much easier to handle all of the stress. She kept in contact with me and all of my other vendors. Words cannot describe how amazing she was at her job! Not only did she do her job beyond justice, but she also became a friend that I could vent to about wedding stress. Beyond happy with the Main Event by Emily and how they handled my wedding!”

“Let's start with the basics - if you are looking for a wedding florist/decorator then you must hire The Main Event by Emily!!! Her designs, her vision to take very limited information on what a bride likes and turn it into the bride's dream wedding is nothing short of amazing. My daughter was not the bride that has always dreamed of what her wedding day would look like, she wasn't the bride that spent countless hours pouring over Pinterest creating boards of what she wanted her day to look like. Nope, Kristin was the bride that was happy to let me, her mom choose the florist. So off I went, I searched the internet and choose a few florists for consultations and quickly realized after meeting with Emily that I didn't need to keep any of the other appointments, You see, I naively thought I just needed to hire a florist for some bouquets and maybe some centerpieces but then I would be stuck shopping different craft stores trying to come up with other wedding decor. WRONG!! Emily immediately made me realize she's not a florist she is a wedding decor guru - her inventory will blow your mind, she's got anything and everything that you can imagine, elegant, rustic, beachy..... and the list goes on and on. So your hired!!!
Everything is set and everything is good right? No, not right Covid 19 hits and the wedding that we planned is up in the air - do we wait to see what Phase we are in, cut the guest list or do we change venues. All vendors were notified that a potential venue change was being considered but not a clue where. Emily jumped in and escorted us to a venue that was in the planning stages, so basically an open empty field. That's what I saw but Emily saw a blank canvas to make beautiful. Then comes the hard part - getting the most non picky bride to give us at least a little something to go on, well we got her colors and that she likes sunflowers and the rustic look. So that is where Emily shines, she showed Kristin a few different options and took it from there. We showed up to the most beautiful ceremony and reception site that you can imagine, Emily took what Kristin liked and ran with it - to quote Kristin it was "perfect". I could go on and on endlessly of all the ways Emily exceeded our expectations but I'm not even sure anybody will read this far - so if you have made it this far this is what I have to say HIRE EMILY!!!! It is worth every penny spent and I would do it all over again!! Jennifer - mother of the bride, 10/02/20”

“When we began planning our wedding we knew we would get married at a family member's home which is an old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. I was convinced that between amazon and Pinterest I could decorate the wedding myself. I was completely wrong and I am so happy that we hired Emily and Hannah to decorate our venue. It transformed the wedding from a backyard party into a formal event.
I met Emily at the Virginia Beach wedding expo and she immediately caught my attention by how passionate she was about weddings. When we met to speak about wedding details she immediately understood the vintage literary look I was aiming for. Hannah and Emily even drove out to our venue to see the space and they were understanding that I wanted to include vintage pieces from the home as well. They created an amazing vintage photo booth area that blended our furniture and their pieces seamlessly. The flowers were perfect accents throughout the entire location. Hannah and her crew showed up right on time and arrived immediately after we said goodbye to our guests like set up/take down ninjas. Seriously, they took so much stress off of me as far as decorating and flowers and made my imagination a reality. Thanks so much!”

I sent her some inspiration pictures so she could get a sense of what I liked and OMG when I saw our bouquets, I was in love!! So unique and just so perfect for our day. I was so impressed because I really didn't know what I wanted and she was able to create such beautiful work with such little information! Thank you so much, Emily!”


Cashna

“We have no idea where to start to review The Main Event by Emily except to say they were EXCELLENT! Alanna Pine was our lead coordinator along with Megan Duckwitz Co-coordinator. We were lucky enough to get two trainees as well. Don’t let the young pretty face fool you! Alanna is congenial, professional, knowledgeable, and firm when needed. She created good working relationships with all of the vendors but was no nonsense when a vendor was not meeting our expectations as customers. They were happy to step in when additional hands were needed even if the task was outside their contractual duties. The coordinating team relieved me and my Mom of so much stress prior to the event and during the wedding. As a Bride, I felt very much taken care of. When the reception became a bit overwhelming, Alanna made sure to check on me when my introverted nature rose and I needed to step away. She bought me a drink and cupcakes while took a moment to catch my breath. Our only regret was not taking advantage of their decorating service along with the coordinating services. Just a side note, they were very thoughtful and gave me a wedding gift! So if looking for a Coordinating Team look no further than The Main Event by Emily!”

“As far as design and flowers go…it exceeded every bit of my expectations. I got design quotes and floral quotes and the price was by-far the best in Virginia. Emily teared up in our first visit about her passion for providing '“dream weddings” within a bride’s budget but I had no idea how much she meant that. I literally gave her my Pinterest board and she brought it to life. The bouquets looked IDENTICAL to what I picked out but more beautiful. I wanted rustic car parts that she did not have and she went digging for them in her free time. Literally every touch she put in there I cried. She could charge double for what she did with my wedding. My husband was blown away with it all. He still can’t stop talking about how wonderfully it was decorated. She met with us at the venue (1 hour away) to make sure everything was taken care of.

Ashley was our month-of coordinator and when I say I did not stress I mean it. She thought of all the things i never would have considered, our FaceTime session was incredibly productive. She contacted all of my vendors, was clear on the services they provided and found my caterer didn’t bus plates! What a shock! So Emily and Ashley and the team stepped in. When I say I felt like a princess on my wedding day, I really did. AShley made sure everything was where it needed to be, brought us food, carried my belongings, and made the entire experience ZERO stress. I had all the time to enjoy my time with my guests, and had not a care in the world because I knew she had it all. This woman should be organizing the White House events. Seriously. If you’re on the fence about hiring these people…DO IT. Design and Coordination are not where you want to cut corners in a budget. We are already hiring them for our next anniversary party :p”

Emily’s design exceeded our expectation and included many small details that only someone who cared deeply about their clients’ needs would have provided. Her inventory of decor items saved us money and allowed us to create the exact experience that we wanted for our wedding guests. Her knowledge of the floral industry provided a unique and beautiful look for our wedding.

Based on our positive experience, we have already told several people that we know about the design and planning services available from The Main Event. We are singing their praises from the rooftops!”

Emily made sure that the decorations and set up were picture perfect and had a ton of great ideas to make our wedding unique.
