    Hiring Emy/Lauren was one of the best decisions we made! She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and the day ran seamlessly. Emy handled everything with such care that we were able to just relax and enjoy our day. Our families and wedding party were so impressed with how organized and kind she was. We can’t recommend Novel Occasions enough!

    If you want to pay someone to call you a bridezilla on your wedding day, have zero idea of what is going on throughout the wedding planning process, and have someone who does not actively advocate for your budget or vision, this is the crew for you! Hiring these women was the worst decision I made in my wedding planning process and they made everything difficult by missing emails from vendors, forgetting details I conveyed to them, including my ceremony time, and failing to communicate when updates were happening. They also failed to book vendors I requested and then struggled to book them later because they waited so long and failed to correct mistakes in vendor contracts. I did a lot of the research for them and actually hired 3 of my own vendors after they "couldn't find someone." They brushed me off several times because they were too busy with their day job and made me feel like an afterthought on multiple occasions. They were rude and argumentative with my bridesmaids and overall severely lack communication and organization skills. Would not recommend to anyone, ever! If you are considering hiring them, please take my advice and just DON'T, you'll thank me later.

    Response from vendorOct 8, 2025
    Hi Sarah, We’re truly sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience. Our goal is always to support each couple with professionalism, clear communication, and care, and we’re disappointed to learn that you felt otherwise. Throughout your planning process, our team worked to accommodate the many updates and changes made to your plans, vendors, and details, and we regret that our efforts did not align with your expectations. We also want to clarify that at no point did anyone on our team refer to you—or any of our clients—as a “bridezilla.” We deeply value every client we serve and would never use such language. While we wish you had experienced the stress-free planning process we strive to provide, we sincerely hope your wedding day was beautiful and memorable. We’ll continue to use all feedback, including yours, to improve the way we serve our future couples. Wishing you all the best in your marriage and future together. – The Novel Occasions Team

    Novel Occasions was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. They were punctual, professional, and had friendly, clear communication throughout the planning process. Lauren and Emerance were detailed, thoughtful, and dependable - their services were truly worth the investment. They were an extra set of hands that helped set everything up, coordinated with vendors, and ensured the timeline ran smoothly on the day of. They also quickly resolved an issue with our caterer, keeping my stress levels down. I highly recommend Novel Occasions to any couple looking for a reliable and capable wedding planning team!

    From our very first interaction with Novel Occasions, we were impressed by their fast, clear, and caring communication style. Emy and Lauren were awesome to work with - they were intentional, detailed, proactive, flexible, and considerate in their approach. They thought through everything, were prepared for any hiccups, and executed everything to a tee. During our walkthrough, they caught things I had completely missed and had a plan for everything. Novel Occasions truly contributed to making our special day perfect, and we are so grateful for their excellent service.
