Elizabeth is the best!!

Not only did Elizabeth execute everything flawlessly, she is such a ray of sunshine!! Where do I start?? She took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, connected us with incredible vendors, offered invaluable wisdom, found ways to save us money, supported us when we were feeling overwhelmed, answered communications with unexpected quickness, anticipated needs and created solutions without prompting (or even our knowledge!), and just made the whole experience so smooth and even enjoyable in the most hectic of times. We did not have to worry about one thing on our wedding day and if anything did go wrong, we still don’t have a clue. We made a long lasting friend in Elizabeth and I have no idea what we would have done without her! Thank you Elizabeth!!

She is incredible!

I was talking to my dad today about my wedding and reflecting on what went well and one of the first comments out of my mouth was how thankful I was to have Elizabeth as our wedding planner. She was by far and away the most important vendor (although she truly felt like more of a friend!!) we worked with for our wedding. Frankly put, we could not have done it without her.
She truly made our wedding day flawless and stress-free. From day one, she was incredibly timely, friendly, and organized, keeping track of every detail and helping me think through what would work best to ensure the day flowed naturally (and on time!). Her knowledge of our venue and optimal timelines was also incredibly helpful for providing insight and suggestions. Additionally, she worked seamlessly with all our vendors and ensured everything was executed to perfection. I'll also add that whenever I told another vendor that I was working with her, they immediately began to sing her praises-- a testament to how highly regarded she is within the wedding industry.

Further, on our wedding day, we faced a major unexpected issue when our shuttle bus did not arrive as planned. Elizabeth remained calm and in control, quickly finding a solution so our guests were taken care of without us having to worry. Her poise and problem-solving skills in the face of challenges were incredible, and we are so thankful to have had her by our side.

If you’re looking for an exceptional wedding planner who’s not only highly organized but also warm and proactive, we HIGHLY recommend Elizabeth. She turned our wedding day into a reality and went above and beyond to make our day truly unforgettable! Don't think twice about working with her, she is truly the cream of the crop. Thank you Elizabeth!

One of our best wedding decisions. You NEED to book Elizabeth!

Immediately after our first meeting, my husband and I looked at each other and gushed about how we were SO GLAD we hired Elizabeth. And this is coming from the man who 48 hours before didn't even know we had a wedding coordinator.

From the first time we spoke on the phone, I knew Elizabeth was all business, which was exactly what we needed. Logistically, our wedding was all over the place. Our venue would need to be completely set up day of, we had a million and one vendors, and our catering was a local restaurant that was inexperienced with wedding catering... and we didn't have a kitchen onsite. This would have been a total disaster without Elizabeth.

We hired her as a month-of coordinator, but the work started way before that. She met with our venue staff and asked so many questions we never would have thought to ask. She met with our catering (multiple times) and helped us iron out all the nitty gritty details, advised us to hire more staff (which we definitely needed) and pointed us to an amazing local company for it. She met with our rental company, helped design our layout, and made sure we were renting everything we needed. She helped negotiate pricing with our vendors and advised us what was industry norm. Leading up to the wedding, she coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure that everyone was aligned so that we didn't have to. We were trying to keep costs down (as much as you can with 200 guests) and she was always conscientious of that.

Day of, her and her team set up and decorated our venue for 200 guests. This included linens, table settings, centerpieces, catering set up, and all the decor that we had brought in. I arrived at 12pm for photos and I swear she was already done, it was crazy. We barely discussed how I wanted the decor set up, she said do you trust me and I said yes and she nailed it. The day was absolutely perfect, and if anything went wrong behind the scenes, we had no idea because Elizabeth handled it. She kept us on our timeline with gentle guidance and was somehow invisible the whole day but always there when we needed her.

On top of all of that, she is so kind, relatable, and hilarious. It was such a pleasure working with her and I would and will recommend her to any future brides. Thank you Elizabeth!!

Elizabeth is the wedding planner you have been searching for!

If we could leave a review for more than 5 stars, we would! Elizabeth is amazing. She was the picture of professionalism and competence throughout the entire wedding process. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, I am sure our wedding day wouldn't have been nearly as flawless without her help.

We hired her as a day-of wedding coordinator, but she was also immensely helpful with advice and suggestions in the weeks leading up to the wedding day. The day-of was even better, as Elizabeth had complete command of the schedule, kept all our vendors coordinated, made sure everything was set up beautifully, and even was an enormous help in packing everything up afterwards. It was truly an amazing night, in no small part thanks to Elizabeth.

If we could get married five more times just to work with Elizabeth again, I think we just might!

Working with Elizabeth was the number one best wedding decision we made

Elizabeth is absolutely incredible. We worked with her for full planning and it was hands down the BEST decision we made out of the entire process. I cannot say enough good things about her! I promise, you want a planner, and you want it to be Elizabeth. It will without a doubt be the best money spent in the whole wedding process.

From our very first call until even the day after our wedding, Elizabeth made us feel like we were the only couple on her mind (and I know she worked with many other couples this year!). She is thoughtful, intentional, kind, and easy to communicate with. She is a good listener and was able to both go with the flow and keep us right on track throughout the planning process. She was the perfect guide and I cannot overstate how much we could not have done this whole thing without her. She held all of our wishes, feelings, and concerns with space and understanding. She always brought us back to feeling at ease throughout the ups and downs of planning such a big event. We had absolutely no doubts about any of the logistics or execution of the weekend thanks to her.

I went into my wedding weekend knowing with 100% confidence that Elizabeth would take care of everything. Her expertise, her vendor relationships, her ability to be 15 thoughts ahead of us the entire wedding weekend, and her high level of care for us all came together to create the most enjoyable wedding experience I could have ever imagined. I was calm and at ease and on my wedding day thanks to Elizabeth.

She is calm and grounded, she is an expert at this work, she's fun to be around, and she made it possible for us to be present with each other and the love that is at the center of the wedding experience. THANK YOU ELIZABETH!!!!!!!!!!

Organized and Thoughtful

Elizabeth made everything go so smoothly the day of our wedding!! We hired Elizabeth for the month-of coordinating service, so we began working with her a month before the wedding. Elizabeth immediately took everything off our hands and began contacting our vendors to organize the day for us. She drove all conversations with vendors, especially the ones that were not as communicative as we would have preferred. The day of the wedding she handled all issues that came up (I assume SOMETHING came up, but I never heard about it since she seriously handled it all). She checked in on us many times to ensure we had enough food/dessert and drinks, and if we needed anything whatsoever. She even got my husband's grandfather coffee from our venue owner's residence when she overheard him asking if coffee was available since we didn't have any with dessert. At the end of the night, she handled the clean-up and packaged our leftover food for us to take back to the hotel. The next day when we came to pick up the remaining items from the venue, everything was packaged together so efficiently and made that last pack-up task very quick and easy. Our parents have all commented on how much they appreciated her the day of the wedding- it definitely would not have been the perfect event it was without her!

Highly recommend “elizabeth langley – owner/operator of: about thyme events!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ELIZABETH LANGLEY – OWNER/OPERATOR OF: ABOUT THYME EVENTS and want to encourage other brides and grooms to use her wedding planning services too! My daughter and son-in-law planned their wedding themselves.They decided to hire a day-of wedding coordinator to oversee their work on the big day and made an exceptional decision in hiring Elizabeth Langley! Elizabeth alleviated stress during both the final planning days of the wedding and the actual wedding day – April 15, 2023. She made sure that the bride and groom’s wedding plans were carried out properly and proceeded according to plan. It became Elizabeth’s responsibility to focus on the logistics of hosting over 200 guests at the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, plated sit-down dinner, and dance - with a band. Words cannot fully express how much Elizabeth’s help was needed and appreciated on my daughter and sons-in-law’s wedding day!

All the behind-the-scenes wedding day tasks were handled with efficiency and grace by Elizabeth. She previewed the church and reception venue; helped with rehearsal direction; helped organize and space the processional line-up; confirmed set up of the guestbook, gift table, cake table, flowers, and rentals; and verified that things - like place cards, centerpieces, flowers, gifts, and other décor for the ceremony and reception - were placed as requested. In addition to this, Elizabeth supervised the final walk through of the wedding and reception venues; transported flowers, gifts, and other items from the church to the reception; served as the point person for every vendor
(so the bride and groom didn’t have to); directed events to keep the wedding and reception flowing smoothly and on schedule; assisted with guest management – such as serving as the point person for parking validation; and responded to last-minute changes – like recommending a photo sharing website. Elizabeth was ready to help with anything! She worked incredibly hard and was worth every penny – and more!

Extending sincerest gratitude to Elizabeth - on behalf of the bride, groom, and their families - for the time, energy, and care she placed in helping to create a beautiful wedding experience! Elizabeth was outstanding in every respect - professional, organized, creative, and flexible. She listened to the bride and groom’s wedding vision but also provided useful advice and guidance. She was readily available, pleasant to be around, and easy to work with. Thanks to Elizabeth, my daughter and son-in-law were free to fully appreciate all their wedding day festivities because she knew their plan and was on top of everything! Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure their wedding day was perfect!

Amazing! Couldn't do it without her

Elizabeth is absolutely amazing! I got married in April and Elizabeth stepped in just as I was starting to feel overwhelmed and having no clue how it was going to get done. The answer was Elizabeth! Stop looking, I promise Elizabeth is who you want coordinating your wedding.

Elizabeth is awesome!

We had the pleasure of having Elizabeth for our day of coordinator for our wedding on 10/21/22. She was on point and thought of everything! She is clearly so dedicated to making everything run smoothly, and is so thorough in making sure all of the details are in order. We had several phone calls before the big day, and she put my mind at ease with some of my concerns. The day went off without a hitch! And if there was a hitch, I didn't know about it, which is even better! Elizabeth was fantastic and made the weeks leading up to the event and the day itself as stress free as possible!

Incredible!

Stop looking any further for a wedding coordinator. Elizabeth was EXACTLY what we never knew we needed for our wedding day! She was organized, efficient, communicative (but not overly, thank goodness!), kind, decisive, hard working, EVERYTHING! I honestly can say that our wedding day would not have gone the way it did (PERFECT and without a hitch) had it not been for Elizabeth. From the first phone conversation I had with her before she was even hired to the day after the wedding when she checked in just to follow-up, and everything in between, she was incredible. The vendors and wedding guests all loved her. THANK YOU, Elizabeth!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
