Emi Reese Wedding Planning Pouring Champagne

Your wedding bestie.

Hi, I'm Emi !

My path to weddings started with a clipboard and a very long run-of-show. I spent years producing events at scale, five of them leading corporate events at Netflix, then at an AI startup, where I learned how to hold a flawless timeline, manage a hundred moving parts at once, and stay calm when the plan shifts at the last minute.

In 2020, I brought all of that to something far more personal: weddings. Same precision, same steady hand, now in service of the best day of your life.

Planning a wedding should feel exciting, not exhausting. My job is to carry the logistics, the vendor emails, and the timeline math so you can stay in the joy of it. I'm organized where it counts and warm the whole way through- the person you text when you're overwhelmed, and the one making sure everything runs seamlessly when the day finally arrives. Based in Santa Cruz, I plan weddings and events across Carmel, Monterey, San Francisco, and beyond.
