Emily and her team were everything I could have dreamed of for our special day. When I had my initial phone call with Emily, I knew she was going to be the one who could execute our day best. She is extremely detail oriented and I don’t think a single detail was missed from start to finish. She ensured I had everything I wanted, while keeping us in budget and finding fun/unique ways to make the best use of our money. She went above and beyond to bring all of my visions to life. If you ever have the chance to work with Emily, please don’t let it slip away. I will forever be grateful for her.

Emily Burton Designs was our wedding planner before we even knew a venue or date and that's the way it should be. Her professional touch, experience, vast network of contacts and reliable vendors, and incredible eye for creating a visual masterpiece separate her from other wedding/event planners. She kept us on task, always provide valuable advice based on our ideas/questions, and ultimately, made our wedding day the event of the year for our friends and family. Not only does she anticipate your thoughts, she goes out of her way to make your experience special. She is more than just a wedding planner, she invests in you and your family--she becomes your family. I would not hesitate one second to hire Emily for any event you are looking to host!

Emily Burton designed and executed a PERFECT Wedding Eve event for our son's destination wedding on St. Simons Island. She listened to our ideas … and then took those ideas to the next level. Thanks to Emily, the event was polished and beautiful; but with a relaxed and welcoming vibe. At the end of the wedding weekend, one of my son's friends pulled me aside to thank me for hosting a Wedding Eve event that set the tone for such a special weekend. In additional to being incredibly talented, Emily is the consummate business professional with a great work ethic. Finally, we were so impressed with the attentiveness of Emily and team DURING the event which allowed us to truly enjoy the party... even as the hosts. We recommend Emily Burton Designs without reservation!

What an incredible delight to work with Emily Burton on my daughter's wedding in St. Simons Island. From the initial stages to the grand finale, Emily's exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and delightful people skills truly set her apart. She not only understood and executed my daughter's vision flawlessly but also went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect.

Emily's ability to lead a large wedding party with grace and efficiency was impressive. Her coordination with the staff at The King & Prince Beach Resort was seamless, resulting in a breathtaking reception under beautifully decorated tents. She envisioned and brought to life an outdoor cocktail area overlooking the beach complete with a monogrammed ice sculpture filled with oyster and shrimp- a detail I particularly loved.

Throughout the entire process, Emily's quiet but effective leadership style allowed me to enjoy every moment of the evening worry free. From handling the smallest of details like monogrammed linen napkins and aprons for servers to coordinating a huge number of vendors, she truly thought of everything.

Emily not only orchestrated an unforgettable reception but also flawlessly managed the wedding rehearsal with a sizeable wedding party.Her expertise and pleasant demeanor made the entire process enjoyable for everyone involved. I cannot express enough gratitude for her dedication, professionalism, and the magical experience she created.

Cannot recommend Emily and her team enough! Emily made our wedding day so special, it was everything I could have ever dreamed about, and more. And idea you come up, Emily will be sure to make it a reality to ensure your day is as special as possible!! She made the planning process very easy, living out of state made it challenging, but there was never a time Emily and her team didn’t ensure we were up to date on everything, and involved in every decision. Emily pays attention to detail, is very organized, and is always there to listen to your thoughts and concerns. Wish we could do it all over again!

We had Emily and her team as a part of our wedding day in February '23 and she made all of our visions come to life (and then some)! Emily's visions and designs were beautiful and unique - just what we were looking for. She worked from 2,000+ miles away (St. Simmons, GA to Phoenix, AZ) and gave our space the fresh set of eyes we were wanting. We're so thankful for Emily's creativity and dedication to making our day turn out so great!
