About
A husband-and-wife team
designing the Valley’s most
thoughtful events.

The Story
How we got here.
Emily came from Chicago. Rick came from New York. They met in Scottsdale in 2003, and they’ve been here ever since — building a catering and event planning company defined less by what they served than by how it felt to be in the room.
Twenty years on, the approach hasn’t changed. Every menu is custom. Every guest list shapes the food. Every event is treated as the once-in-a-lifetime moment it is.
And it all comes from one team. Catering, planning, staffing, and rentals live under one roof — our chefs are full-time employees, not third-party vendors we hand you off to. When you hire Emily’s Events, you hire the people who actually run your event.

Twenty years of unforgettable rooms.
In her own words
“Pay attention to your clients. Listen to them and be honest.”
That’s how Emily described her approach when Arizona Foothills Magazine asked in 2018. It hasn’t changed since.
