Emma was absolutely amazing, from the first day we met her we knew she was going to help us create the most incredible wedding day. She was there every step of the way and nothing was too big or too small. She made our vision a reality and with some gorgeous surprises along the way as well. Emma also helped us make sure that our day was private and personal just as we had wanted and achieved this in a very discrete and well thought through fashion. Emma took away all of the stress especially in the final few days before our wedding so we were able to enjoy every single bit of the lead up and the day itself. Knowing that Emma was on hand to make sure everything ran smoothly. We can't thank her enough for making our wedding day so special! Jess & Andy Ennis-Hill

Marygold Weddings

Dear Person Who is Getting Married, Firstly, congratulations on your engagement! Secondly, congratulations on coming across Emma Marygold! She’s the best thing that happened to you since you decided to get married. She will be your best ally in the months of planning and decision making that you have ahead of you. If you have got to the point of asking for references, you are probably considering hiring her. Just go for it. Do it now. It will be the best possible thing you can do to get the most out of your wedding day. Let me tell you why… I am not a woman given to clichés, so please forgive me when I say that Emma gave me and my husband the happiest day of our lives. You will know from meeting her that she is a delightful individual, but she is also thoroughly professional, charmingly creative, stunningly organised and a complete and utter grafter. This woman may look like a skinny blonde but reader, she will WORK for you. She will save you stress, save you time and save you money. And if your Grandma needs helping on with her coat at midnight after the best party she has been to for several of her eight decades, Emma will do that, too. She did all of those things, and so much more, for us. Emma has the rare gift of being able to keep an eye on the big picture whilst maintaining an excellent eye for detail. She was completely across every single second of the event, without ever being obtrusive, and made the day go like a dream. Emma made both our venues, for the ceremony and for the reception, look totally breathtaking, but also made the movement of people between venues absolutely seamless. We thought the wedding would be good, but because of Emma and her delightful small team, it was better our wildest dreams I will never forget getting to the point of cutting the cake and just being very touched that, as well as managing the movements of 200 very demanding people across West Yorkshire in the worst snow for thirty years, Emma had also put out beautiful tissues for me and my mum, and tied beautiful ribbons around the knife with which we were cutting the cake. Every single one of Emma’s suggestions was spot on, from where my husband could buy his wedding suit, to the pianist for our ceremony; from the contents of the children’s goody bags to the travel agent we should use for our honeymoon. At a wedding fair there will be thousands of people trying to get your business, but Emma has already met them all, vetted them all and knows the wheat from the chaff. Equally, if you want your own team on things (for example we had already chosen a florist and were using an old friend as a caterer before we met Emma,) she will work wonderfully with them, coordinating the day and being unstintingly lovely to one and all. I have a very busy life and do lots of different things. I write tv scripts, I make documentaries, I help to run our family business putting on art events and running a property company. So I like to think I can get on with stuff , and I thought this wedding lark would be a walk in the park – bish bosh, caterer, bish bosh, dress, couple of phone calls, cake, email, flowers. Job done. Er... Turns out I was hopelessly naïve, and I hate admitting when I’m wrong. Here’s the bad news about weddings, from one who knows: 1) Weddings are points of heightened tension between families. 2) They put stress on a couple. 3) They have huge expectations surrounding them. 4) They involve more people than you would ever normally involve in any one day of your life. 5) They are very, very expensive. And now the good news about weddings, from one who knows: 1) You can get Emma Marygold to dissolve the tension. 2) You can get Emma Marygold to take away the stress. 3) You can get Emma Marygold to take those huge expectations as a challenge, and then exceed them, all with a genuine smile on her face. 4) You can get Emma Marygold to deal with all those people while you just get your hair done. 5) You can get Emma Marygold to save you money. Seriously. She will. She was even arguing with one supplier who she felt was being greedy two weeks after the wedding – and managed to get him to reduce his invoice by several hundred pounds. (I know, we couldn’t believe it either.) When you think about it, you wouldn’t normally spend thousands and thousands of pounds without expert advice, so why on earth would you do it on your wedding day? Emma is the expert you need. But it isn’t just a money thing. Having Emma there means you and your family can actually enjoy the wedding in its entirety, and never have to worry about a thing. I could write several more pages of detail about how wonderful she is, but if you have a wedding to plan you will be short of time. My best advice is to get Emma on board and get on with it! But in case you need to discuss anything at all with me, please ask Emma for my mobile number All the very best with your wedding. I hope you have a wonderful, happy day where you smile so much your face hurts! Congratulations again, All the best,
