Hi, I’m EMMA

introvert, sentimental party nerd, gentle hype-woman, and mom.

Midwest born, Pacific Northwest living; professional event planner and certified life coach with a wild - and surprising - ride as an Etsy + social media darling designing celebration goods… before pressing pause to be home with my son.

Here’s the twist: big parties never felt fun to me. Sirens at birthday restaurants? Tears. Surprise toasts? Hard pass. But meaningful moments, celebrating people, creating memories that feel like home—that’s my whole heart.

A core memory: my Depression-era grandparents’ wedding pic. A plain white sheet cake, sliced by hand, guests on picnic blankets under a tree, everyone beaming. That picture lives rent-free in my mind and guides everything I do.

Mothering tuned my senses even more. I noticed how naturally I connected with my son—how he relaxed with quiet rituals, how we felt most ourselves in small, cozy moments. Following that connection became my compass: choose comfort over spectacle, presence over performance, rhythm over “should.” After becoming a mom, I gave myself permission to celebrate in a way that felt true to us—quiet, cozy, and deeply personal—and I learned to follow my kid’s rhythm instead of the rulebook.

Slow Party Co is the love child of all of that: years of professional planning, life-coaching tools, and a lifelong devotion to the tender side of celebration. Think feeling-first planning, fewer shoulds, more soul. I help you mark what matters—without the noise.

What I Believe

  • You don’t have to throw a big party to honor a big moment.

  • Comfort, meaning, and memory beat spectacle every time.

  • The best plans begin with how you want the day to feel.

  • Small can be sacred. Simple can be stunning.
