Emily is the BEST! Thank God for her! In the whirlwind of preparing for the wedding I was going to school for my Masters Degree. She took care of every single detail I would have totally missed. Originally Emily was going to be the Day of Coordinator but once she began asking me questions if I had this, that, and the other, I thought there was no way I could do this without her. I immediately spoke to my husband and said we need her for the entire wedding preparation. It was ON! Emily kept me calm and confident everything was going to be beautiful and work out wonderfully even with all the family, dress, and school drama I was going through. Emily calls, emails, and arrives to everything! So organized! My husband, my family, and I are truly blessed to have gone through this wedding preparation with such a genuinely kind hearted person. read more

Emily is so amazing! Very patient, creative, inspirational, knowledgeable, professional, sincere, and trustworthy. I had Emily help us plan the florals & decor for our wedding. She knew our limitations, she took the time to learn everything about what was important to us, and she helped us learn more about our options so we could have the best display for our wedding. I didn't have to worry at all about the decor, flowers, etc which was helpful since so much is already going on the day of your wedding! The guests had many compliments and I had no complaints. It was reassuring to work closely with Emily on how we envisioned the day. She always provided options and never did we hear no. The details were spot on and the little surprises that we didn't expect added a more personal touch that I never would have thought of. I'd recommend Emily and Louise Georges Yves to anyone wanting a professional touch with a more personal service. Thank you for making our day memorable and fun! NOTE: Even though our wedding was 5 years ago the memories live on, and I wanted to make sure the service and style was acknowledged because it was very much appreciated! read more

Emily was amazing as our wedding planner for our daughter's wedding at Carondelet House! She took care of everything and made the evening so wonderful! From meeting her at the beginning, and with her warm personality, I knew she was the one for us. She helped us all the way through the process and the evening turned out magical. I would recommend her to all. Terri B read more

I have used Emily for many of my floral needs. She has not only arranged all the decor for some of my real estate industry parties but also custom designed arrangements for me as well as gifts for my friends and family. Her unique design stands out amongst all the other florists in this town! read more

Our bridal party flowers were literally beyond my wildest expectations. We had a short engagement, so I barely had time for a quick phone chat and the swap of a few Pinterest inspirations. Emily knew right away what I was going for, and delivered above and beyond. The flowers were gorgeous....the right amount of color, greenery, simplicity, the works. She told me she'd try to throw in a few specialty flowers (peonies) on my budget if possible but it would depend on availability...she made it work for ALL of the BMs to have that special touch in their bouquets. She even combed through Etsy for the perfect ribbon to match my ideas. Her communication with me was impeccable...she kept ME on MY toes! I'd hire her again in a second. Thank you for making my wedding so easy and so beautiful! read more

I had the honor and pleasure of having Emily Jacks of Louise Georges Yves coordinate my wedding this summer at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point, California! I cannot say enough great things about Emily and her team! They truly made my wedding day a dream come true! Emily has such great taste and is so knowledgeable when it comes to planning! From our very first meeting she brought up very unique wedding ideas and prepared so many great design options for me, from cake design, to escort card displays, and even gift ideas for my parents! She put me in touch with a wonderful selection of vendors who were able to meet my budget and provided top of the line services. In the weeks leading up to the wedding she coordinated with all of my vendors and wedding party to make the wedding day so seamless and stress free. Emily and her team took care of every detail on the day of the wedding! I was able to enjoy each moment because she was there guiding me and the entire bridal party through the day! I highly highly recommend her services and plan on using her services for our next event!! read more

Emily Louise Jacks was the wedding planner for my cousin this past month and I have nothing but good memories from this special day. All thanks to Emily and her team this day was actually perfect despite how much stress we all had Emily was always there to make sure we would not worry about a thing. She was kind, professional, and very detail oriented. Regan had initially hired her as a day of coordinator, but decided to have her plan more because of her vast knowledge of all the details one needs for this special day. I definitely recommend this group and hope to use them again for our whole family:) read more

Louise Georges Yves - Regan and Mena tying the knot - Party & Event Planning Near Me

I cannot say enough great things about Emily! After considering HollyFlora and a couple other top florists for my wedding, I decided to hire Emily for several reasons. Not only is she an incredible designer, but Emily has a lot of qualities that other artists in this industry don't: she's reliable, timely, super nice, and most importantly, she listens to you to figure out exactly what you want. She has her own visions and ideas that she can articulate well, but she also makes sure that she's on the same page as you and isn't running off with a vision that you aren't sharing. She genuinely wanted to make my wedding everything I imagined it would be, and she did just that. Emily was also really flexible and considerate about sticking to our budget. We changed our minds several times, and she was always happy to modify the plan. And she helped me think of ways to make everything look beautiful without bumping up the cost - so doing things like using a cheaper fabric for our chuppah, recycling aisle decor and using it in the cocktail hour/reception (that may sound tacky but she did it in a way where you couldn't tell at all, just using pieces here and there), and being strategic about where to put the tall centerpieces (more expensive than low ones) so that they really brightened up the room without us needing to include too many. She essentially gave us the most glamorous, spectacular wedding without breaking the bank. Emily is also really creative and just knows how to adjust minor details to make things look beautiful. She's absolutely an artist. I interviewed some of the top florists in L.A. and I can tell you that Emily is hands down the best out there. She's as creative as the others but more reliable, nicer, more considerate of budgetary restrictions, and incredibly patient. I was so picky about every little detail, and she took her time with me to make sure everything would be perfect. I never once felt rushed or like I was annoying her (and I was annoying everyone else around me with how perfectionistic I was being, so that says a lot). Emily also has connections with a group that rents out furniture, as well as a lighting company. I didn't need rentals but I did use her lighting guy, who I loved, and he gave us a great price. If you're even considering going with Emily for any event, I would say do it. She won't disappoint you because it's just her personality to make you happy and do good work, and she's so nice and pleasant to work with. read more

I have used Emily for two events - my wedding (outside venue) & my daughter's Bat Mitzvah (my home). Emily is highly creative as well as cost oriented. She can design floral as well as overall decor. She can scale up or do intimate events very easily. You will not be disappointed if you hire Emily!! read more

As a first-time bride who never dreamt of her wedding day, I needed a lot of direction in creating the theme, tone and atmosphere of my wedding. Emily came to me through the referral of my wedding planner. Upon the first five minutes of our initial meeting, I knew she was the perfect choice for me. Sensing my lack of direction, she began to ask very thoughtful questions to better help me articulate my thoughts and ideas into a theme. I was particularly impressed with her use of sample boards for each aspect of the wedding, (i.e. bridal bouquet, centerpieces, M.O.H. bouquet). These boards were very detailed, including color swatches, pictures, different layouts-essentially every detail regarding every visual aspect of the wedding. Her attention to detail remained throughout the entire process. Emily is a true artist whose vision extends beyond individual flower arrangements. The entire venue is her canvas. For example, our sample meeting was held at our reception ballroom. Not only did she set a complete table , she brought the linens we were considering for the sweetheart and side tables so we could visualize the set up of the entire room to help us finalize our color selection. She even came prepared with other ideas to enhance the tables and further punctuate the atmosphere of the room. It was her participation in every detail that allowed for our guests to have a seamless experience from the Chapel to the ballroom. Not only is Emily very personable, but she is very accessible. Through phone conversations, emails or text messages, she answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. She also offers a range of price points so you can decide where you want to save and where you want to splurge. After our sample meeting, I had VERY high expectations for the day of my wedding! She exceeded each and every one of them.... we have the pictures to prove it! I highly recommend Emily to any bride who wants the PERFECT wedding! read more

On the recommendation of my wedding planners, I contacted the lovely Emily at Louise Georges Yves about doing the florals for our wedding ceremony and reception at Bel-Air Bay Club in the Palisades. I already had a pretty good idea of what I wanted for each floral aspect of the wedding, so I provided Emily with some Pinterest images and from there, she hit the ground running. I was impressed with Emily's initial proposal because it not only captured exactly what I had envisioned in both words and pictures, but it was also on point budget-wise. In fact, Emily was very good about keeping things within the budget we had discussed the entire time we worked with her. We ended up adding in some additional elements during the planning process and Emily was always willing to work with me on cost and find ways to scale things up or down depending on how much we wanted to spend on any given item, while still being realistic about what the costs would be to ensure I would be happy with the final product. I had some images of gorgeous coral peonies that I dreamed of having at our wedding. But with our wedding being in November, I knew before I even talked to Emily that peonies would be out of season, so I had resigned myself to the idea of using a peony substitute, like a garden rose. Emily came up with some beautiful alternatives to the peonies and when I saw a sample of our table centerpieces at the floral preview, they were so beautiful and popping with color from gorgeous coral roses that Emily incorporated, I honestly didn't even miss the peonies. Yet miracle of miracles, the day before the wedding I was running some last-minute errands and suddenly received an unexpected email from Emily informing me that the flower fairies had smiled upon us and she somehow got ahold of a bunch of the coral peonies I had been dreaming of and would be using them in our florals. Honestly, I know it sounds absurd, but I almost cried when I read it. Never in a million years did I expect to have coral peonies at my November wedding, but BOOM, just like that Emily made it happen and with no additional cost or last-minute charge. Needless to say, when I saw the flowers on my wedding day, my breath was absolutely taken away. My bouquet looked exactly like the inspiration image I had shared with Emily, yet 10 times as beautiful. The bridesmaids' bouquets were breathtaking, with ribbon ties that matched their dress colors PERFECTLY. The centerpieces were so gorgeous and our guests were thrilled they got to take them home at the end of the night. Countless people commented on the drop-dead gorgeous florals at the wedding and I have Emily to thank for it all. Perhaps most importantly, Emily is really great at transforming small ideas you might have into gorgeous realities. Though I knew what I wanted for the most part, there were some things I had ideas about but didn't know exactly how to execute them. For example, it was really important to me to honor my late father at our wedding with a memory table of some kind, but I struggled with how to do this without making it too depressing. I talked to Emily about the idea and she helped me create a beautiful table with lanterns, popping with cheery florals and full of personalized sentiments paying tribute to my dad in the most tasteful and beautiful way possible. So many guests told me how touched they were by this and how it made them feel like my dad was a part of the wedding, which is exactly what I wanted. I would hire Emily again 100 times over. If I ever need a florist or designer for another event, luckily for me, I won't have to look at all! Thanks for making my wedding flower dreams come true, Emily! read more

Emily is the absolute BEST! Her creative vision is extraordinary. She took the time to listen to what I wanted, provided guidance and support, and in the end she created a masterpiece...it really was a dream come true! My guests are still talking about how incredible our venue looked. The details, the colors, the vibe...was PERFECTION. Her talent and artistic expression combined with her patience and professionalism make her a DELIGHT to work with. She is hands down the best in the industry and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. I will forever be grateful to Emily and her team. read more

Emily from Louise George Yves was incredibly AMAZING to work with!! I absolutely loved working with her on my wedding and reception decor and details. She was incredibly receptive to my vision and ideas, and when I was confused about what I wanted, she was able to provide me with extremely creative options. In addition, she is extremely kind and a pleasure to work with. She was very easy to contact and was very cooperative when there were changes being made. And not to mention, she provided us with GORGEOUS flowers and decor for our wedding and reception. It was beyond my expectations and was absolutely perfect!! I would recommend this company for anyone who has an upcoming wedding!! read more

Emily was our wedding planner and designer. We were beyond impressed. I met her a little over a year before my wedding. We initially hired her to be our wedding designer but we fell in love with her work and her attention to details that we decided to hire her as the wedding planner as well. She is very, creative and attentive. She worked with our budget and she understood what we wanted. She also worked incredibly well with our Nigerian culture. I couldn't have asked for a better planner and designer. She was extremely amazing. Our wedding was beautiful and stress-free. She went over and beyond our expectations. read more

Walking into our baby shower, my husband and I both immediately cried. We couldn't believe how breathtaking everything was!! She went above and beyond anything that we had planned with her during our consultations! She took my original vision (which was really a bunch of random pictures) and turned it into an actual theme which I didn't even think was possible! Being pregnant I was very indecisive and had major pregnancy brain, I'm not even sure I knew what I wanted but she managed to figure it out. She created the most beautiful and fun filled co ed, brunch, baby boy shower I've ever seen. Everyone who was there or saw pictures was beyond amazed by it all. Emily is talented and creative beyond words. I can't imagine that there is a sweeter, hardworking event stylist out there. My baby shower was a dream come true!!! I highly recommend her she was amazing to us from start to finish. She's simply the best there is!!! read more

My husband and I are sooooo happy that we hired Emily to plan the decor and flowers for our wedding. Thanks to Emily's hard work, amazing energy, and creative eye everything turned out incredible! We had a blended Hindu and Unitarian wedding. It was very important that her decor reflected the mixture of our cultures, personalities, and created an amazing ambiance for celebrating our love and families. And, she did just that! I especially appreciated that she accomplished this notwithstanding the "econo-bride" in me. You can see pictures of our wedding at this link: http://www.jenwillphoto.com/vibiana-wedding/. read more

My husband and I cannot thank Emily enough for being our wedding coordinator and florist. We continue to hear sincere compliments from our guests, including our parents' friends who have been to countless ceremonies and receptions, that our wedding was the most beautifully decorated and well-organized that they have ever attended. She helped plan and execute as if it were her very own wedding, gracefully and graciously handling requests before and during the day-of. As a self-professed Type A, I could not have found a more detail-oriented, caring and skilled wedding professional than Emily. Also, her team of assistants is excellent, and Louise Georges Yves is a one-stop shop! read more

A Resounding THREE CHEERS for Ms. Emily Jacks, Wedding and Flower Designer, of Louise Georges-Yves... Emily Jacks is... simply the consummate professional!! With her endearing Southern charm and down home values, an LA transplant from Texas, good humor, impeccable taste, yet finely honed business skills ..she adds up to..."Most Wonderful!" We began our wedding planning journey 5 months ago. It was to be at our home, ceremony and reception, in our backyard. While being an inviting setting, it also presented many challenges, especially as the list began to grow and grow. Since the bride was a commuter, having not yet moved here, it was I, mother of the groom, who had the great joy of being the "Wedding Planner." The bride chose only to be selectively active and involved. Ever so gratefully, I had the good sense to hire Emily, my "Insurance Policy." I feared not. I knew she was there, throughout, to back me up, gracefully, ever so tastefully, and with a respectful eagle eye on our budget. In addition to working seamlessly with me, she was also endlessly mindful of the bride, her concerns and sensibilities. Emily knew I wanted, as much as possible, for this to be the bride's wedding.... After all was said and done, we received a "Perfect! Everything was perfect!" from the over the moon" bride. Her details, talent and good taste were evident throughout.. all the flowers (the talk of the party!) vases, bridal bouquet with rhinestone studded wrapping, stylish swag to dress up the tall liquid amber tree in the front yard where the cocktail hour transpired, the Bride and Groom table, the table overlays, flower girl baskets and their flower crowns, and on and on...One perceptive guest from out of town appropriately remarked, "She is a natural." Because of Emily's attention to detail and our well-coordinated preparation, on the Day Of I was relatively calm. I knew we had done our due diligence and hopefully poised for "Lift Off," as the most loving couple said their vows. Their glow beautifully shined. Someone said it felt enchanting. Another used the word magical. I cannot recommend Ms. Emily Jacks more highly. When the bride and I think of her, we smile...now and always. Most sincerely and gratefully, patti t. aka THE BOSS read more

I had a bridal shower at my home on Sunday, March 30. I called Emily the week prior and she delivered the most gorgeous flowers arrangements for the tables you've ever seen. With little direction and only guidelines re: the color scheme, Emily delivered the goods, and then some! I highly recommend her business for any occasion. read more

No words could possibly express how amazing Emily is. Not only do I have the MOST particular taste regarding design and style, but I am also inherently indecisive and easily overwhelmed. I was nervous about choosing the right person, as I wanted the wedding to reflect my taste and my time was very limited. Emily was the PERFECT choice for me for a myriad of reasons. First, she was truly invested in the process and I could tell that she genuinely cared about making the day as special as it could possibly be. She is an incredible listener; she doesn't just do what she wants and really hears what you like-but at the same time gives you the most invaluable advice. She's got an impeccable eye for style/design and even someone like me (who has worked in styling and has a particular eye) felt at ease completely trusting her. Emily is also the most organized, detail oriented, strategic and informed person I know. She has an answer for EVERYTHING and I always felt comforted because I knew she had it all under control. While she is always professional, she made what would have been an uber stressful and arduous process FUN because we did it together. And all the vendors LOVE working with her, which never hurts, trust me. In the end, the wedding was more beautiful and magical than I ever could have possibly imagined and my husband, family and I are certain that it was in large part due to her tireless hard work, dedication, good taste and many talents. This is my first ever yelp review, but I just had to do it. While I have no idea how I got so lucky to find her, I thought sharing my experience may help others have the same good fortune to be able to have Emily by their side on their special day. I am sure grateful I did. read more

Louise Georges Yves - Thanks EM!! You are the BEST! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

I had the pleasure of working with Emily on my recent wedding, after we chanced to meet through Craigslist (I was purchasing manzanita branches while suffering a thankfully-brief delusion that I could do my own wedding florals). I had interviewed a few florists before deciding to work with her, a decision that was influenced not only by the quality of the work in her portfolio, but also her super friendly and easy-going personality. Over the course of months (and we're talking literally multiple dozens of emails and the periodic house call), she unfailingly took the time to listen to my questions and respond in a timely, considerate way. When my ideas for florals went beyond my budget, she was gentle and upfront in letting me know, then worked with me to redesign things to fit my vision, without breaking the budget. On the day of, the florals turned out to be more lovely than my Pinterest-overdosed brain even expected! The florals were hands-down one of the elements of my wedding I loved the most, and the credit goes to Emily. My only "regret" with my wedding was not having her design more of it! read more

What a joy Emily was to work with! She came to my husband and I through a referral, and we couldn't have felt more fortunate! She was in charge of all the dining tables and the dessert table. We were going with a rustic vintage feel and she provided the most beautiful pieces...especially the dessert table! All of our guests kept raving about how inviting it was. She was always open and positive about all of our ideas, and very easy to get a hold of. She went above and beyond on a couple of occasions, including helping me out when my car got towed at a meeting with her. The stand out moment for me was when I panicked about forgetting the vintage tray for our little ring bearer. She came rushing into the bridal suite, asked how big the tray needed to be, then came back with a few choices to pick from. She totally saved that special moment when my little nephew carried the rings down the isle. She also stayed the whole night refreshing the desserts as needed. She was amazing and I would highly recommend her to any newly engaged couple! read more
