Grand Rapids Wedding Planner
Miranda + Alex LaFontaineIf you’re reading this, just book In the Details for your wedding. Emily and her team are the best. She goes above and beyond in every aspect. My husband and I both agree having Emily help us with our day was the best thing we did. From booking vendors to our wedding day. All of our meetings were exceptionally planned and communication was excellent. Our guests are still raving about our wedding day and our families and wedding party loved how easy the process was for everyone. Hands down, In the Details is the best! |
Amanda + Jackson PhippsEmily was such a pleasure to work with. She was so professional, patient, and made me feel like a queen on my wedding day. She kept me cool, calm, and collected through a very dicey weather forecast. She listened to what I wanted and created the most beautiful design for our wedding. I would highly recommend any bride hire her!

Raykhona + Sebastian MendezEmily and the In the Details Weddings team are amazing at what they do. I can’t emphasize this enough. I went with the full planning package so Emily and I worked together closely. She’s super easy going, organized, and embraces ambiguity. On the day of, I had other vendors and guests praising Emily and her team on their communication and professionalism.

Roselle + Eric LandoyA lot of people have asked me if everything went smoothly on my wedding day and my answer always has been: “as far as I know, yes!” If anything went wrong, I didn’t know because Emily took care of it. Leading up to the day, she helped me get my thoughts in line for my vision for the day by helping me with design questions and making the day’s timeline. On the day of, she (and her assistant) did an amazing job setting up our centerpieces, organizing everyone who had a role for the ceremony (which, as a Filipino wedding, there were A LOT of people with roles), keeping things running on time, keeping track of our stuff, and so much more! I honestly cannot imagine how our day would’ve gone without her (pretty rough probably). Thank you, thank you, thank you!! |
Tawnie + Bryan LiptakI was so thankful that Emily and I ended up crossing paths for her to become my wedding day of coordinator. I had started my process with another business that ended up not being able to coordinate for day of wedding events. Emily’s business was recommended about a month before my wedding by the other business. She immediately was much more responsive and we set up our initial meeting. She listened to my needs for the day of coordination and helped me pick a package that was right for me. She was so down to earth and easy to converse with. She built such a detailed day of schedule but allowed for flexibility the day of. She worked with all my vendors and venue to ensure good communication. She thought of so many questions I would have never even have thought of going through the wedding planning process (even with multiple friends previously married). My husband and I ended up doing a vow renewal and reception. Emily and her assistant took control without being controlling the day of our wedding. We provided a detailed list of decor that needed to be finalized the day of and Emily and her assistant went above and beyond ensuring every last detail was in place before the wedding started. I was able to relax and get ready with my girls, mother and mother in law that morning of our wedding knowing Emily had it all under control. She and her assistant ensured all the decor and even wedding desserts were packed away and placed into my in laws truck at the end of the night. If you’ve made it this far and are thinking of having Emily be a part of your wedding process, don’t hesitate! I 100% recommend her and will definitely recommend a day of coordinator for your event. |
Anna + Daniel PrestonI had an incredible experience with In the Details Wedding Planning! Emily, the owner, was a wealth of knowledge for me leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding, of course. She is extremely organized, and it is obvious that she has experience and expertise in this field. She had all of the needed paperwork for various aspects of the process and was an encouragement and help as I had so many questions. She helped my vision come to life and my day was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. |
Caitlin + Nick KilcoyneFrom the start of wedding planning, I knew that I wanted to do the bulk of the work. However, when it came to the day of, I wanted to be sure that I, along with my mom and maid(s) of honor could relax and enjoy ourselves without having to worry about the details. I luckily found Emily through a lot of instagram stalking! From the start her website was very easy to navigate and told you exactly what is in her packages. I saw that she had what was called her "final details" package and I was SOLD! It was exactly what I was looking for! Someone who was there the entire day of the wedding and our rehearsal. We even met twice prior to and she was available always for any questions that I had! The last time we met prior to our wedding, she presented this beautiful excel sheet that laid our our day hour by hour (down to the 15/30 min mark). I thought I had the day somewhat figured out in my head, but she was on top of it all with when the vendors were arriving, to when I was putting my shoes on. It was hands down amazing and took a huge weight off of my shoulders knowing that our day was in Emily's hands. The night of the rehearsal Emily had these awesome QR codes for our bridal party to scan, so that they were aware of the timeline and knew when to be where and exactly what was going on. The day of... Emily and her assistant DELIVERED! If you're thinking of getting a planner...do it and book Emily. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and went so smoothly. She assured that everything was set up the way I had envisioned, helped pass out programs, assured everyone was dressed/ready to go, made sure we lined up on time, helped with the take down of all the decor, and I know that there was so much more she helped with that I am forgetting. My point is she was such a HUGE help the day of and we were so thankful for her and her assistant! |
Anastasia + Justin ThompsonEmily was the most perfect coordinator and addition to our big day! She was so attentive to all the little details and things that needed to be done for our wedding. She came to our rehearsal making sure she had everything down with the bridal party like where to stand and to walk. She even stayed the ENTIRE wedding day from start through tear down. She made sure to coordinate all my vendors arrivals properly and I didn’t even have to worry about any of them. She packed up all our decor near the end of the night and we were so busy dancing and enjoying the music by the time I turned around all the decor was packed up in cars! When the lights came on she told me what we had to do and stayed all the way until we all walked out the doors! Worth every penny to have her in charge and she did phenomenal! |
Ellianne + Michael Martin"Emily was my day of coordinator for my wedding in June of 2020 (AKA the time of COVID-19 craziness) and she was absolutely fantastic. Weddings are so stressful to handle to begin with, but throw COVID-19 in the mix and it’s a whole new kind of stress. Emily was such a solid person to count on for making sure the flow of the day and the details of all my planning played out perfectly. She helped create a fool-proof timeline for all of the family, wedding party, and vendors so that when my day came, all I had to do was enjoy it. I believe you get a perfect window into someone’s true colors and character when they are faced with hardship/trial (for us, it was a global pandemic), and what I saw from Emily was a rise to the occasion for my husband and I. You can’t go wrong with trusting In the Details Weddings for your special day!!" |
Emma + Heath FallAt first we were unsure about spending money on a wedding coordinator, however, having Emily and her lovely assistant a part of our wedding was worth every penny. As a bride, I was able to sit back and enjoy the day, as were all of my family members. We were able to live in the moment and just soak it all in!! We truly had the perfect wedding, and it was largely due to In the Details!! |
Luke + Lauren BoothIf you’re looking for a day of coordinator or wedding planner in West Michigan, Emily should be your choice! She was an excellent resource for advice, vendor referrals, timeline creation, and so much more as my wife and I were preparing for our wedding. She was available to connect whenever we had questions or concerns. It rained on our wedding day, and Emily calmly handled transitioning the ceremony to our indoor plan— I was busy playing games with my groomsmen, ha! At the reception, she perfectly laid out our decor for our love bird table as well as all the guest tables and food line. Having Emily support us during our wedding planning and day was a huge blessing. Make the right choice and work with her! |
Alyson + Zach ButhIf you are looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator, look no further! Emily was amazing to work with. We hired Emily for the day of, but prior to our special day, she was present along the way. She set up a few meetings to get an idea of who I was and what I was looking for; she set up a meeting the month prior to make sure we were still on the same page; she made the most detailed minute by minute timeline for the day of; and she communicated with all of my vendors to make sure they had the timeline and had what they needed as well. Emily was extremely organized and knew exactly what she was doing. Hiring Emily allowed my mom and myself, to be present on the day of my wedding. Emily set up the decor and arranged every detail with the florists and all other vendors. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. If anything went wrong, I had no idea because Emily executed everything smoothly. She also had a great assistant who helped on the day of as well. Thank you so much for everything Emily! |
