Knowledgeable, Creative, Thoughtful Wedding Planner That Made Your Wedding Vision Came True

We had an incredible experience working with Kaitlin from Elle Loren! Although our package included only partial planning and final execution in the last three months, our planner, Kaitlin, was by our side from the moment we booked. She was always responsive to our questions and offered creative solutions for any unique challenges we faced. She is incredibly detail-oriented, organized, extremely knowledgeable about our venue, and endlessly thoughtful and supportive.

We had a Chinese-Western fusion wedding with some unique activities. It was not easy to plan and fit everything in a day, but Kaitlin managed everything seamlessly. Before our wedding on October 3, 2024, we couldn’t fully envision how all the details would come together. But Kaitlin and her team executed it flawlessly, with everything flowing perfectly. Her team could always find a piece that was missing and was very proactive in mobilizing our wedding party to help and move. We also had some decorations we weren’t sure how to place, so we left them in their boxes. To our surprise and delight, every piece was thoughtfully hung in perfect spots we hadn’t even considered. I initially wasn't sure how to do a bouquet toss. Kaitlin's idea of doing it on the balcony followed by a sparkler's celebration turned out to be a massive success!

Kaitlin and her team also went above and beyond by assisting our family members and guests who don’t speak English well. They worked seamlessly with all our other vendors, ensuring everything came together perfectly. After the wedding, they thoughtfully packed up our decorations and personal items from the large venue. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that the hot oil wedding favors, which we had not figured out how to display, were beautifully arranged for our guests to take home. We truly couldn’t have pulled off our wedding without Kaitlin’s help, and we highly recommend Elle Loren to anyone planning their special day!

Must Hire for Dover Hall Weddings!!

I cannot recommend the Elle Loren team enough!! We primarily worked with Kaitlin for our wedding, and she was simply amazing. Super responsive, quick to jump in and coordinate where needed, and always several steps ahead to help us think through important decisions. Both my fiance and I have a hectic work schedule and Kaitlin was extremely accommodating when we needed to shift planning sessions. The vendors she recommended were fantastic and we truly felt like we'd hired a family to help bring our special day to life. Especially as we approached the 30 day line, Kaitlin and her team were very attentive and didn't miss a single detail (thank goodness, because I was missing things left and right!). On the day of, we felt so cared for and were able to enjoy the day without having to make any stressful decisions ourselves. Highly recommend especially if getting married at Dover Hall like us!!

The best planner!

We hired Kerri for full planning. She was extremely responsive to all of our questions and concerns, even on nights and weekends. She knew our venue inside out and provided great recommendations as we went through the planning process. Leading up to and on our wedding day, Kerri and her team anticipated and calmed every worry we had. They kept us on schedule and allowed us to enjoy the day to the fullest. We could not recommend Kerri enough!

Kerri with Blush Events did an excellent job for my clients and I really enjoyed working with her at a wedding at Trump Winery recently. She was very flexible with any requests I had and very accommodating. Kerri was very thoughtful and had a basket of water and snacks for my second shooter and I when we arrived. It really says a lot about her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. As a vendor, I appreciated her! She was professional and had a great attitude. Would highly recommend for your planning or coordinating needs!
