Emily
A Hospitality Management grad of the University of Nebraska at Kearney, Emily realized her true passion for service excellence while interning at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida. And she's been blazing trails in the event business ever since.
In just four short years since her stint with Disney, Emily has helped open the four-star Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, worked as a Wedding and Event Manager at The Ritz-Carlton™ Orlando, Grande Lakes, and has planned numerous, dream-come-true nuptials in her role here at Weddings Unique.
Emily takes great pride in her ability to create real relationships with each couple she plans for. She not only gets to know the bride, which allows her to create designs that reflect the bride's tastes and personality, she also gets to know the family and friends of the happy couple. Relaxed, kind and compassionate, Emily has the uncanny ability to keep every bride (and in-law) relaxed and confident throughout the entire wedding planning processes and up through the wedding day itself.
Add in her vast knowledge of catering and food and beverage...including wine pairings...and you've got the complete wedding planning package. One we're ecstatic to have on our team.
