Per·snick·e·ty (adjective):
Fussy about details. Meticulous. Particular.
Sound like a bad thing?
Not when it comes to wedding planning!
At Persnickety Planning, we are a little nitpicky, a lot detail-obsessed, and exactly who you want running your wedding day.
We sweat the small stuff so you don’t have to. We’re talking timeline sorcery, color-coordinated spreadsheets, and making sure your place cards don’t just look cute but are perfectly aligned (because yes, that matters). Our job is to keep you calm, on track with planning, and actually enjoying your engagement—while we handle the details, the drama, and the deep dive into the perfect shade of dusty rose.
On your wedding day? We’re there to keep the stress levels at zero and the vibes at 100. That means you get to sip champagne and live your best life while we handle the timelines, logistics, and last-minute “OMG, where’s the officiant?!” moments (don’t worry, we know where they are). We’ll be behind the scenes, ensuring everything goes off without a hitch—except, you know, the getting hitched part.
Oh hey, I’m Emily!
The persnickety perfectionist behind Persnickety Planning!
I’ve spent the last 10 years in the events world, bouncing around everything from catering and venue management to running conferences and festivals. But let’s be honest—weddings have my heart (sorry, conferences). There’s something magical about helping couples throw a party that’s totally true to them - whether that means a black-tie ballroom affair or a backyard bash with pizza and piñatas.
I’m a firm believer that there are no rules when it comes to weddings—except the ones you make. Want a food truck instead of a plated dinner? Let’s do it. Thinking of skipping the cake cutting? Love that for you. Your wedding should be as unique, fun, and personal as your relationship, and I thrive on getting to know my couples so we can sneak in all the little details that make your day yours.

Ready to make some wedding magic?
XOXO, Emily
