Meet Emily
Your Middle Tennessee Day of Coordinator
I'm Emily Sumners-Tuipulotu, and I've been coordinating weddings for over 9 years. I began my career as a full-time, high-volume coordinator with Simple Maui Wedding. During that time, I had the honor of working at beautiful beaches, upscale resorts like The Four Seasons, and a range of public and private venues.
​
Now that I've moved back home to Middle Tennessee, I decided to do what I love most (and what I'm best at!) which is offering expert-level guidance as a day-of coordinator.
​
My approach to weddings is warm yet polished. Any problem has a solution, every moment is valuable, and each event has unique needs that allow it to be beautiful and memorable.
​
I've served as a day-of coordinator for hundreds of weddings, and am excited to now help couples marrying in Middle Tennessee.
​
In addition to my work as a coordinator, I also manage the Wedding Industry Insider Podcast and am a freelance wedding writer. My work has appeared in BRIDES, Bridebox, and The Groom Club.
​
Ouside of my career, I'm a mom, step mom, spring board diver, Wheel of Fortune contestant, and aspiring novelist.
