Forever Grateful
Emerald Events LA was an incredible wedding planner to work with. From the start, they demonstrated a thorough, open, and thoughtful communication style that put us at ease. Their experienced and detailed approach was invaluable throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, their incredible work ethic, professionalism, and attention to detail ensured everything went off without a hitch. Whenever I forgot something or needed assistance, Rachel from Emerald Events was there to handle it with ease. Many of our guests commented on how stress-free I was, which was a direct result of Emerald Events' amazing service. I trusted them completely, and they exceeded all of my expectations. I have already recommended them to my brother for his wedding and he’s not even engaged yet.
Fantastic Coordinator
Rachel was absolutely amazing! She worked with me for several months to help create my dream wedding. She is so friendly, easy to communicate with, and always quick to respond. Since I was planning my wedding out of state, Rachel made the whole process so much easier, she even visited the venue when I couldn’t and kept me updated with every detail. We had many phone calls to ensure everything was in line, and her dedication gave me such peace of mind. She also hired wonderful serving and bartending staff who made the day run seamlessly. On top of that, her day-of assistant, Leah, was fantastic and so friendly. I highly recommend hiring Emerald Events for your wedding,you’ll be in great hands!
Rachel was amazing!!!
I don’t even know where to start, Rachel was an absolute lifesaver. Planning a wedding is no joke, and she made the entire process way easier than I ever expected. She thought of things we never would’ve considered, handled every curveball with total grace, and made sure everything ran smoothly the entire day. What really stood out to me was how calm and confident she was. No matter what was happening, she always had a plan, and it gave us so much peace of mind. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We just showed up and got to actually enjoy our wedding, which I’ve heard isn’t always the case for couples, so we feel super lucky. If you want someone who’s professional, easy to work with, and just really good at what they do, Rachel is your person. Couldn’t recommend her more.
David & Grace Alvarez July 2025 wedding
Working with Rachel was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From day one, she was organized, attentive, and truly invested in making our day as stress free and beautiful as possible. She had an incredible eye for detail, stayed calm under pressure, and handled everything behind the scenes so we could just enjoy the moment! Every part of the planning process felt intentional and personalized. She listened to our vision and brought it to life even better than we imagined. Our wedding day was seamless and stunning. everything flowed perfectly thanks to her hard work and thoughtfulness We truly can’t thank her enough for all she did for us. If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, let this be your sign, hire her!!! You’ll be so proud glad you did!! THANK YOU RACHEL!!!
