Emilei

Wedding Planner

Amongst her friends and family, Emilei is better known as the hostess queen. Even the smallest of dinner parties become an exciting opportunity for her to put her event planning skills to the test. Her favorite childhood memories are made up of a house full of friends and family. This is where her love for people originated and when she knew she aspired to make a career out of creating one-of-a-kind experiences for others. 

Emilei’s approach to events is not much different from her approach in her everyday life. She is excellence-driven and her efforts are proven to translate into seamless event days. It is her greatest goal for the couple to be able to enjoy their day, feel like royalty, and make lasting memories that they could only dream of. All the while also creating an environment where their friends and family feel comfortable, cared for and leave, never forgetting the couple’s big day. Her favorite part of the wedding planning process is getting to take the bride’s vision and bringing all of the elements together so that the wedding day turns out exactly how she imagined or dreamed. She also loves getting to create a bond with her clients and getting to be a sounding board for them throughout the whole planning process. It is important to her for her clients to trust her so that they can relax and enjoy every step of the way! Her favorite part of the wedding day is getting to spend time with the couple and their bridal party. She loves getting to see everyone’s interactions with one another and those special moments shared between the couple and their closest loved ones. 

Emilei went to Lee University and still lives in Cleveland, TN with her husband, Andrew and their two fur-babies, Dizzy and Oliver Lee. In early 2020, she received the opportunity to join the team at W Events and it has truly been one of the most cherished moments of her life and career. Today, she is a seasoned wedding planner with a focus on sharing her knowledge with other planners while crafting unforgettable weddings in the Chattanooga & Atlanta markets!
