Emlan events was born out of an understanding that people need help planning life’s monumental occasions. The level of help and commitment required is much different than ever before.
Emlan events started as a consulting company to offer commitment-free planning during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some of Emlan’s first clients were facing pandemic-related emergencies, Emlan helped by offering commitment free consulting – whether moving clients from city ballrooms to tented affairs upstate, or by helping clients plan a legal wedding ceremony and postponing the party.
Emlan events has since grown into NYC’s premier event consulting company offering everything from month-to-month planning to full service event production.
Emlan events is based in downtown Manhattan and offers consulting nationwide, with a focus on the New York region (Hudson Valley and Hamptons included) as well as Martha’s Vineyard.
About the Founder.
Elizabeth Wexler is a born and bred New Yorker who first started in the hospitality industry at age 18. She jokes she was "raised" in catering before making her way to the planning side.
Elizabeth has a passion for planning, but she’d say her best skill is rolling with the punches. She loves working with families to create unique events that feel tailored to them. It is very meaningful for her to be a part of people’s special days, and just wants her clients to have the most amazing experiences ever.
Elizabeth lives in Tribeca with her husband, Eric, and 9-year-old schnauzer-mix pup adopted from Social Tees in the East Village. When not working, Elizabeth and Eric love traveling, trying new restaurants and eating at their local diner. Elizabeth went to the University of Michigan and while it is very rare she’s free on a fall Saturday, if she is, she’s with friends supporting her alma mater.
Elizabeth’s work has been featured in Brides, New York Times, Carats & Cake, and Party Slate. She is a member of the Live Event Association and has worked tirelessly to make events happen (safely) in our post pandemic world.
At emlan events, we believe that love is love. We welcome the opportunity to work with clients and vendors of all backgrounds, races, and sexual orientation or identity.
Because love is love and life is better in love.
