10/10 without a doubt.

We hired Kari to help us plan our wedding last month and we are so happy with how everything turned out. From our initial meeting, I knew Kari would be a good fit. We had vague ideas of what we wanted for our wedding day and Kari turned them into reality. Kari was very organized and ensured our day ran smoothly without any issues. In the months leading up to our wedding, we had meetings with Kari and she was always on top of things and had answers to all of our questions. She connected us with some of the best vendors in Calgary and kept us on track with our timeline and budget. Hiring a wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made and we highly recommend Kari and Emerson & Co to any couples! We are forever grateful to Kari and her team for their hard work to make our day so special.

Kari was absolutely incredible to work with! She ended up having to reschedule our wedding not once, not twice, but three times due to the pandemic. She navigated any issues with ease, helped us remain calm, and brought our vision to life within our budget. We would highly recommend anyone in need of help or looking to reduce stress to hire Kari. We were so impressed with how smoothly the day went and how she would check in to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Kari! We will miss you.

A huge THANK YOU for making our day truly the most amazing one of our lives.

Everything was exactly as we hoped, and neither of us could believe how smoothly and perfectly everything went. All of our guests said they had the best time.

Ryan and I know this is because of you. Your tireless work behind the scenes made it so that our day was magical, and seemingly effortless. We know that things would not have been what they were had you not been there.

Your warm, calm energy was exactly what I needed on that day; you made it so that I didn't need to worry about anything, and I was able to be in the moment and just enjoy it.

I can't imagine a better planner than you!!

From our first meeting, we knew that we were in the company of a very special and talented professional, and we left that meeting calling you our wedding angel. There is no way we could have done it without you, and we are so tremendously grateful for all of your advice, counseling, guidance and very hard work on the day of. Thank you so much for really making our wedding a relaxed, special and well-run occasion.

Thank you so much for helping to coordinate our wedding day! As you know, the only part I didn't like was when it ended! Everything else was exactly what I had hoped for. You had a huge role in the success of the evening. I have no idea how you did it all but you did, and it was amazing. Thank you for being there and for doing your job so well. It felt like we had a friend leading us through the day.

From the moment I met Kari I knew she was going to be the perfect coordinator for our wedding. She brought just the right balance of serious focused organization and big hearted excitement to our day. We planned our wedding from out of town and I couldn't have imagined a better contact. Kari offered to meet with vendors on behalf of us and I did not hesitate in having her as our advocate. Kari was an amazing listener which really made me feel special as a bride and I felt like she was our little secret weapon.
She went above and beyond at every opportunity. She also made some suggestions that ended up being some of the stand-outs of the wedding.
Kari had terrific knowledge of vendors around the city. She was there immediately in a crisis and had a back-up plan for her back-up plans. Having her as our coordinator took a lot of pressure off as both my fiance and I were able to relax and enjoy every moment of the day. Ultimately Kari was by my side from the get go and come the big day she acted on behalf of my husband and I and executed the wedding of our dreams.

Kari is exactly what you want and need in a wedding planner, and if that isn't enough for you, she's also a phenomenal person. As a planner, Kari is reliable, calm, resourceful, reasonable, honest (even when things are hard to say and hear) creative, and caring. Kari has the ability to take the lead and follow, she is able to execute your wedding giving you as much or as little control as you'd like (and can vary the amount based upon your interest throughout the planning process). She will do the heavy lifting without being asked, and without seeking recognition or acknowledgement. Besides being a talented and hard working planner, Kari is wonderful to be around and work alongside. She is fun, funny, kind, and she cares about what she does and who she is as she's doing it. If you want to enjoy the planning as much as the event itself, if you want your wedding to be more than what you imagined it could be, and if you want to meet a dear friend - hire Kari.
