About Gilded Dreams Events and Design

Gilded Dreams Events and Design

Head Planner

Gilded Dreams Events & Design specializes in weddings with personality. We believe your wedding should reflect who you are—not a template, a trend, or someone else’s idea of what a wedding should be. From bold color and dramatic details to unexpected themes and whimsical touches, we love creating celebrations that feel intentional, elevated, and personal. Whether your ideas are traditional, unconventional, or somewhere in between, we’re here to bring them together into a wedding that feels distinctly yours.

We don’t believe there’s such a thing as “tacky”—there’s just good or bad execution. Give us your wildest ideas, unconventional themes, and out-of-the-box details, and we’ll turn them into something intentional, elevated, memorable, and authentically yours. With years of experience coordinating weddings in all kinds of venues and locations, we know how to make even the most ambitious vision work beautifully in the real world.

In three words: Creative, Organized, Whimsical

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Emily was simply amazing! I was planning an elaborate backyard lakefront wedding and realized I needed someone day of to help organize the numerous vendors on my wedding day. From our first meeting it was clear that Emily understood my vision and had the expertise and professionalism to make it happen. She thought about every detail and calmly and quickly pivoted with her team to make everything perfect on my wedding day. My husband and I felt so taken care of and knew that she could answer any question we had. She was extremely quick to respond to all my emails and questions leading up to the wedding as well. I could not say enough good things about Emily and her team. Using Gilded Dreams was easily one of the best wedding decisions I made. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Wedding Vendor - Florist

    I had the pleasure of working with Gilded Dreams Events and Design as the florist for one of their recent weddings, and it was such a positive experience. Emily is incredibly professional, organized, and has such a warm, kind personality that makes the entire process feel smooth and collaborative. What really stood out to me was her creative vision. She brought fresh, fun ideas to the table that were thoughtfully customized to the bride and groom, which made the event feel truly unique and personal rather than just another standard wedding. As a florist, that level of creativity is inspiring to work with and makes the design process so much more enjoyable. It’s always a joy to collaborate with another creative who values artistry and individuality. I would absolutely look forward to working with Emily and her team again in the future.

    Emily was simply incredible when it came to helping me with by elaborate backyard lakefront wedding. She helped organize my vendors, timeline, details, and answered every question I had. She quickly responded to all my emails leading up to my wedding day, thought about everything, and helped me bring my vision to life. On the day of my wedding she showed up with a wonderful team who took care of everything so my husband and I could enjoy our day. Using Gilded Dreams was easily one the best wedding decisions I made. I would recommend her to anyone!
