We absolutely loved working with Kerri and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. From start to finish, she was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and always on top of everything – even the tiniest details that changed multiple times (indecisive bride and MOB :) . No matter what curveballs we threw her way, she handled them with total grace and calm.

One of our favorite things to say throughout the process was, “If Kerri doesn’t seem stressed, then we’re not stressed.” Her composure and kindness were so grounding and reassuring during a time that can easily feel overwhelming. She made the planning process feel smooth and manageable, and we genuinely enjoyed every step with her by our side.

On the wedding weekend itself, Kerri and her team were truly top notch. They were always one step ahead, making sure everything ran flawlessly behind the scenes while keeping the entire day and night on the perfect schedule. Thanks to them, we got to be fully present and soak in every moment without a single worry.

Kerri was such a huge part of what made our wedding day so special, and we are endlessly grateful for her and her incredible team. If you're lucky enough to work with her, you're in the best hands!

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!

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!!

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 and the team at Elle Loren & Co are the BEST decision you can make for your upcoming wedding!

From our first meeting to the big event, Kerri was punctual, knowledgable, kind, and UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT! She recommended the most incredible vendors, all of which blew us (and our guests) away! She acted as liaison between vendors and even got us specialty discounts. She handled and put out fires small and large, and did so with a level head and smile on her face. A professional to her core.

The wedding timeline was perfect and she kept everything running smoothly the day of the event. I find that most brides struggle to enjoy their wedding day due to stress. Not me! Kerri and her team made it possible for me to take a deep breath and enjoy every beautiful moment of the day we curated. She went so far as to play mom and bodyguard! Getting me to eat enough food, delivering me cups of water when I couldn't leave the dance floor, and saving me from any trapped conversations with guest!

I can't believe we could afford such a high quality wedding planner who made it a priority to work within out budget. I simply can't recommend Elle Loren & Co enough! Kerri you are amazing, we love you!!!

Kaitlin did such a fantastic job. The number of details she handled with such grace is mind-boggling. She dodged and ducked our indecision, our spontaneous reversal of already-made decisions, our idiosyncratic needs and the RAIN to make this an over-the-top day! It is no exaggeration to say we could not have done it without her. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kaitlin and the entire team were amazing! Kaitlin was always in communication with us, and turned our vision into a reality. They all took care of everything the day-of, making it a seamless and perfect experience.

We all know planning a wedding can be daunting and stressful, especially if not knowing anything about where to start and all of the ins and outs of the industry. All of our fears went away when we had our first meeting with Kerri from Elle Loren & Co. She was absolutely incredible and we cannot say enough wonderful things about working with her. She has a warm personality, patience, and willingness to listen to our ideas and concerns, which made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. We would have scheduled phone calls and the wedding platform we worked with was seamless. We had a checklist of things we needed to get done by a certain time so nothing was hanging over our heads. The insight and knowledge we had absorbed from Kerri is something we will cherish forever since it is truly a remarkable talent. She took our vision and turned it into something beyond our wildest dreams and the recommendations of amazing professionals were such a huge help, which contributed to making our day perfect. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is dedicated, creative, and passionate about creating your dream wedding, look no further and go with Kerri at Elle Loren & Co!!

My cup runneth over. So grateful to Elle Loren for executing our vision flawlessly with all the attention to detail. I felt so comfortable working with Kerri and knew she would be the calming force to my overanalyzing self to help ease my worries and enjoy the day. She listened to all my wild ideas and helped fine tune any design aspects to bring it all together. I knew from the start I wanted to put a creative spin by adding in extra antique touches to make guests feels like they were taken back in time. I so appreciate her support in incorporating all the personal details into our day and for taking the time to listen along and let me be a partner in the designing process. We both have such a special place in our hearts for the Virginia House and she understood my vision from the start. Being a historical property with many stipulations but having so much character, I wanted to give it the justice it deserved. Despite the severe thunderstorms and adding all the tents, the vendor team really went into overdrive with the elevating the space for a beautiful evening. It’s one thing to plan for rain, but another for heavy lighting and wind. Thanks for all your help and being a sounding voice throughout this process. None of this would be possible without your help. Your team was phenomenal and kept everyone laughing throughout the day.

Kerri and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding day come to life and was easily some of the best money we spent on our wedding! We booked the month of coordination/partial planning, but Kerri was hands on from the day we booked her. She set us up with reminders to keep us on track, provided vendor suggestions, and answered decor/layout questions far before the official month started. Kerri is kind, insightful, and made sure we didn't miss any important details (which was incredible given our venue, Main Street Station, came essentially empty so we had to hire everything for the wedding). If anything went wrong day of the wedding, we had absolutely no idea as Kerri handled everything! Kerri made sure we had drinks waiting when we arrived, checked in with my parents and in-laws to make sure they had drinks/anything else they could want during the night, and kept us on schedule. Kerri was worth every penny and we couldn't recommend her more!
