โก๏ธGET TO KNOW ME: Emma, Chief Wedding Planner and Founder, Wednesday Wedding Club โก๏ธ
I realised recently I've never done one of these so hi! I'm Emma, and you'll probably realise quickly that this isn't an Irish accent - I'm originally from Brisbane, Australia and moved to Ireland in 2016. Rest assured "I know the craic" as one of my clients says ๐โ๏ธ
When I'm not planning weddings, you can find me scrolling TikTok (serious addiction ๐โโ๏ธ), watching TV or hanging out with my lil fam; I have 3 step kids and an amazing, super patient and supportive partner (shout out to all the partners of wedding industry peeps - we legit could not do this job without you)! If I did have more time, I'd love to do more art! I love to decorate and paint and draw (and I did all my website and branding myself!) ๐จ
I also loveeee live music and have seen over 400 bands/acts ๐ถ One band I'd love to see is Kings of Leon, and the next gig I'm going to is Smashing Pumpkins, who I last saw live in 2012 ๐ But my one true music love is Jamie T, who I've seen live 8 times and met last year ๐
Before I was a wedding planner/stylist, I worked in publishing and media for 13 years, and wore many different hats from writer to editor to marketing specialist to publishing data analyst. I really needed a change and to do something that harnessed all my creative and organisational abilities and wedding planning is a perfect fit ๐ฅฐ
Thanks to those who made it this far lol ๐ I love my job and meeting so many fun and lovely people every day - especially all my clients who trust me and my assistants with their big day! ๐
