EMMA IVEY GOWEN, OWNER & LEAD DESIGNER
GET TO KNOW ME
I love getting to know my clients and marrying their personalities and aesthetics with thoughtful design, approachability and strong foundation in the principles of hospitality.
My approach to wedding planning is fresh, collaborative, intentional and down-to-earth. My couple’s trust and peace of mind is always number one. What I love most about my job is learning about my couples and dreaming up their unique vision. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the collaboration that started in theory be brought to life.
“I view my clients as more than just partners or collaborators —
we become dear friends.”
A joyful, down to earth approach to full service wedding planning

Incredible. Emma was an absolute JOY. Every single vendor we spoke to raved about how much they liked working with Emma. She has a beautiful eye for design, is detail oriented, really listens to and actions the things that are a priority for you. Most importantly, I felt like Emma was 100% on my side throughout the planning process.

Emma was my number one source of calm and compassion. But her compassion and patience is what led to her not just being my planner but my dearest friend.

We had an amazing wedding, entirely thanks to Emma. She made it all a seamless process and the level of attention to detail was equal to if she were planning her own wedding.
