WHAT WE KNOW
TO BE TRUE:
Clarity is kindness.
Transparency is queen at Heartthrob Events. There are no trapdoors, hidden agendas, or sleight of hand; we pride ourselves on our integrity and open dialogue with clients.
Whether discussing the budget, managing expectations, or offering insightful advice, we prioritize keeping it real with our clients to set them up for success. We clearly show clients what’s possible and guide them in making decisions with their best interests in mind (aka No Regrets).
You don’t know what you don’t know.
You’ve got your crew; you just need a pilot. Enter: Emily Gaikowski. Highly experienced and always in control, Emily approaches event planning like piloting a plane. Remaining cool, calm, and collected throughout the entire journey, she keeps clients well-informed without overwhelming them with the minutia of the cockpit (so to speak).
With grace under fire, Emily has earned the trust of clients with her uncanny ability to "land the plane" in all conditions-- literally. Throughout her career, she has successfully executed weddings during floods, high winds, and even earthquakes.
Magic & mystery make the world go ‘round.
Each event Heartthrob produces is like stepping into a world of pure imagination. Fully customizable from start to finish, we don’t give off gimmicky wedding factory vibes.
Our signature designs are as individual as the client themselves, incorporating personalized “Easter eggs” throughout the event for guests to uncover. Beyond a beautiful setting, our events are designed to transport guests out of reality and into a space of wonder and whimsy.
“Heartthrob Events offers the perfect balance of expertise and support. Emily is a one-of-a-kind professional and human – making you feel like a priority in each conversation. She is exceptional at her job, makes it look easy, and executes flawlessly. ”
