2022 RESUME
“Emily Stennes is an organizer, planner and vibe-creator of the highest order. I am overjoyed to mark Emily's events on the calendar and feel impelled to do my part to help - knowing that they will be life-affirming experiences. Emily brings together folks from a variety of creative communities, whose complementary styles often create a dynamic sum greater than the individual parts. She involves everyone in generative, inclusive, productive ways - bringing their strengths and creative potential together in ways that allow each person to shine in the way that works best for them. This engaging, participatory energy combined with Emily's ability to find and curate excellent content is special and the result is memorable. ”

RAVE REVIEWS
“
I appreciated Emily’s honest feedback throughout our planning process. She gave us great ideas and tips to plan our day. I especially appreciated her guidance during the rehearsal. Her feedback was helpful to my wedding party. We finished the rehearsal within 1 hour and everyone knew what to expect.

“
Your personal attention to our daughter and her new husband throughout the entire evening was so calming and comforting to them. You were always there for them but not in an overbearing manner which helped to make it a stress-free event. They were able to relax and have such a wonderful time because of your attention to detail and assistance. You did so many little things right like suggesting to them to take a few minutes upon arrival to take a deep breath and relax before the introduction. That may seem like an insignificant action to some people but that five minutes made the rest of the reception so much fun for them.
