As featured in

Yes — we catered our own wedding.

In November 2011, Emily planned her wedding in three months — and catered it herself, alongside Rick (a classically trained chef). The following February, Restaurateur of Arizona put them on the cover.

“I wanted the focus to be about the wonderful people in my life getting to meet my husband and the people in his life getting to meet me. It’s so beautiful to be able to bring all the people you love into one room — you really only get one day in your life to do that.”

What our clients say

Used Emily for our wedding and it was AMAZING — everything I could've imagined. We had a theme, and Emily made sure every little detail fit it. Rave reviews from every guest. Absolutely the best.
Jeff R.Wedding
Emily and her team blew my expectations out of the water. I'm not much of a planner and don't have an eye for design, so I gave Emily my vision and let her run with it. My wedding turned out better than I imagined.
Heather C.Wedding
We hired Emily's Events for our wedding — about 65 at a private residence. My wife is gluten-free, and they accommodated every dietary request beautifully. All our guests were raving about the food.
