Elegant Event Planning and Design (Est. 2001) is an intimate firm with 2 professional planners. There is absolutely nothing cookie cutter about Jennifer or I. We believe that each of our clients are individuals with different requirements. We take pride in being able to customize our services to meet the needs and budget of each individual. In fact, we do not offer packages. I (Lisa) meet with all of our clients, and personally spend the time needed to get to know them and their weddings.

All of our clients are equally important, whether "day of" or "full event management". We take great care to make sure all of our weddings are perfect. We encourage "day of" clients to contact us as soon as possible - whether it's a month prior or a year prior to your wedding day. I always say - the better I know you and your wedding, the better I can advocate for you on your wedding day.

I work personally with each and every client. I will be the one working with you to plan your wedding and I will also be with you on your wedding day!

Most importantly, both Jennifer and I go above and beyond for you and your family. We believe in going the extra mile to not only ensure a successful planning process and seamless wedding day - but that you and your family are happy and stress free.

Please take a moment to review the photographs and video that we have placed on our storefront. We believe that these pictures represent our style the absolute best. Make sure to visit our website and our blog!

I very much look forward to speaking to you about your wedding.

Wicked Willow Floral	I Love, Love, Love Lisa!!! I have worked with Lisa and her staff on several events and each one has been absolutely beautiful and elegant. Lisa is so easy to work with and open to ideas. She is very thorough and organized with her planning and coordination of all her events. Thanks!

Weddings by Sandy	I recently had the opportunity to learn more about Lisa's business. She is definitely someone who can pull off an elegant, simple and beautiful event. Please consider using her the next time you want just the right touch for your party or wedding. She is the consummate wedding planner!

1. Do you charge for an initial consultation?
No!!

2. Do you have a minimum overall budget for the weddings you work on?
No. We have structured our services based on the principle that each of our clients has different needs. We have provided a strong base so that you can add as necessary and not contract for services that you do not need. We love to work with and can work with a variety of budgets.

3. Do you limit contact with your clients
No. We want to be there as much as we can for you.

4. Where and when do you hold your appointments?
Being a full time planner, I work all the time - 15 hours a day, 7 days a week. I can work with your schedule regarding appointments. My office is in Maryland and would be happy to meet you in my office or on the road. Out of town, I can even meet with you online!

5. Do you offer any other services?
Yes! We are working towards being able to serve all of our clients needs. We offer the following:

-Letterpress, engraved and custom wedding stationary
-Premium linens and overlays
-Chair Covers
-Name change services
-Life services referrals (real estate agents, financial planners, accountants, etc).

6. Do you offer these services for couples who do not contract wedding planning services?
Not at this time. This is something that we offer to our coordination and planning clients exclusively.

7. What are your office hours?
All the time. You will find me up and working at 2 or 3 in the morning on most days. You can contact me anytime via phone, email or IM.

8. Can you give me a ballpark figure on what my planning package will cost over the phone?
No. Here, there is not a “one size fits all” package. Everybody’s needs are different. Because we structured our services in this way, each wedding package is personally customized to fit your needs and budget. We will take the time to sit down and discuss your wedding, concerns and needs in detail. We will then draw up a detailed planning proposal that you can live with!

9.  Do you plan commitment ceremonies?  Absolutely!  We enjoy planning commitment ceremonies, as do the vendors in our professional network.  We very much like, and want to, work with same sex couples.
