Hi! We’re Emma & Hillary, the team behind Cura Studio.

Every inquiry, email, and call comes directly to us. We’re co-founders, creative partners, and the people actually doing the work behind your plans.

Together, we bring 25+ years of experience across advertising, film, fashion, event planning, brand development, and experience design. We’re also certified International Event and Wedding Planning Professionals (IEWP), combining creative thinking, organizational know-how, and industry experience to turn big ideas into plans that actually work.

We’re approachable, collaborative, and genuinely like figuring things out. We bring a fresh perspective, a steady hand, and a human approach to the whole process.

We share a love of British reality TV, consider ourselves subject-matter experts on early RHONY, believe a 4 p.m. dinner reservation is the height of luxury, and will always make time for a good vintage find.

Fun facts

We met at a design studio, where we worked as producers. Since then, we’ve turned our shared passion for making things happen into a business focused on making life’s big moments feel more accessible and empowering to plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do you welcome couples of all identities, orientations, and traditions?

1

Yes! We proudly serve all couples, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, identity, religion, or cultural background. Love is love, and we're here to support and celebrate every couple's unique story with respect, care, and joy.

We’re not full-service wedding planners. Instead, we offer focused, fixed-fee planning “mini-sprints” for couples across the U.S. who need expert guidance in specific areas of their planning. We work virtually, create a customized plan based on what you need, and help you move forward without the cost or commitment of full-service planning.

How are your services different from full-service wedding planners?

2

Will you be onsite to set up or manage things on my wedding day?

3

Because our role is to help you get unstuck and make progress through a focused planning sprint, we won’t be onsite to manage or set up your wedding day. We can, however, provide timeline and run-of-show guidance so you and your team (whether that’s a planner, day-of coordinator, trusted friends or family, or just you) know what needs to happen and when. The goal is to leave you with a clear path forward, not to manage the execution of the day itself.

Do you offer planning support for international weddings?

4

We have destination wedding experience, and would love to hear more about your desired location so we can customize a package tailored to your needs!

Do you help plan other wedding-related events like showers or bachelor/bachelorette parties?

5

Yes! We're happy to help with all your pre-wedding celebrations. Let us know your needs via our contact form, and we’ll create a custom package just for you. We can assist with planning your engagement party, wedding shower, rehearsal dinner, bachelor/bachelorette party, and more.

So, what’s keeping your planning stuck?

Two people, a woman with braided hair and earrings and a man with glasses and a beard, are close together outdoors, touching foreheads and smiling with their eyes closed. They are wearing jackets and backpacks, and the background shows a partly cloudy sky.

The budget? The venue? Or the 47 open tabs that were supposed to help?

Bring us the messy part. We’ll help make sense of it.
