About

Creatively designed weddings with a fresh, relaxed approach to planning.

Wedding planning shouldn't feel rushed or overwhelming. You want to know that someone is looking at the details. You may enjoy looking at fun ideas and inspiration on Pinterest, and need some direction for how to pull it all together. Maybe you want professional advice to guide you to talented people.

As a wedding planner, I am here to help bring your ideas to life, not to tell you how your wedding should be. I take your style and my years of experience and together we craft a one of a kind event.

Events by Elaine has a passion for helping couples create weddings that celebrate who they are and their love for each other.

By limiting the number of weddings booked each year, Events by Elaine can devote the time and effort needed to attend to your event details and provide you with superior, personalized service. Allow me to focus on the details so you can focus on what truly matters!

Offering coordination, full planning or a bespoke package, tailored to your needs.

Amazing Wedding Planner!!

We loved working with Elaine for our wedding planning process! She has very reasonably priced wedding packages and is flexible about adding additional meetings. Elaine took all of the details that I had dreamed up and made them a reality. Even though we only hired her for the "one-month" planning she was in contact way before that in order to nail down details. On the day of Elaine was there early and with an assistant to ensure everything would be set up and run smoothly. Our day was perfect and it is all because of Elaine and her hard work! We cannot recommend Elaine enough!!

Elaine was wonderful to work with. My biggest challenge was "not knowing what I didn't know". She was available for guidance when asked. She has a great sense of knowing when to get involved and when to let us take the lead. She was always very knowledgeable and professional. I would absolutely recommend her to someone in need of a wedding planner.

I don't think I would have survived getting married without this amazing lady! She was with me every step of the way, letting me do my own thing when I wanted to but right there when I needed help. Her suggestions and recommendations were on target; she kept me in budget and on schedule. She is great to work with, very flexible, organized, and quite creative as well. And she knows the best vendors in town! We had a wonderful wedding and Elaine gets a lion share of the credit!

We hired Elaine for help with our wedding rehearsal and day of wedding and I have no clue what we would have done without her!! There were some things that went wrong the day of and she was able to step in calmly (keeping me calm was probably her biggest job! Ha) and fix some decoration issues and a music issue. She was so professional and caring and only wanted to make it the most amazing day possible. If you are looking for a wedding planner I promise you that you cannot go wrong by hiring Elaine!

Elaine was great help on my daughter's wedding day. I was able to enjoy the wedding and did not have to worry about managing the day's schedule or the other vendors performing their jobs. She was professional and worked well with all the vendors I had hired. Elaine's husband was available that day as well and he was helpful too.

Elaine was available anytime I wanted to talk and she also met with me several days prior to the wedding so we could review the timeline. Great Job!!!

Elaine was so friendly, organized, professional, and fun! Our wedding was small however Elaine took every detail into account, as if it were a presidential ball.. Haha. Seriously though Elaine worked with our budget and was such a necessary and beneficial component of our wedding; before, during and after. We couldn't have done it without her. Thanks Elaine!

My dad says that hiring Elaine was the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process. Working with Elaine was so easy. She was quick to respond and willing to help with anything and everything when it comes to the wedding. Elaine is not a wedding planner who makes the wedding about her either, she makes it about the bride and groom. She made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed and that our day was perfect for us. We opted for the month of service and I completely recommend this. Elaine is great at communicating with all of the vendors and perfectly arranged and coordinated our day. If you don't think a wedding planner is in the budget- make room! She saved my family and I from so many stressors and thought of things that we never would have.

Elaine was amazing! Every time I needed anything on my wedding day she was there. She even went to the grocery store four time to get items we had forgotten and then had to load stuff up in her suburban and bring it to my house. She was a lifesaver and I don't know how we would have done it without her. Thanks Elaine!
