Best Decision to hire Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was the wedding planner for both of my daughters' weddings. She is professional and gets things done, all with a calm and pleasant demeanor. She gracefully manages all the vendors and ensured that our special day went off without a hitch so we could just enjoy! I highly recommend Elizabeth for your wedding planning.

The best planner/stylist you could find!!!

We worked with East Made for our wedding on September 1, 2019 in New York City. My wife stumbled upon East Made on Instagram and she immediately fell in love with their style. After hopping on the initial FaceTime call with Elizabeth, we were happily impressed by her passion, personality and experience. We then hired East Made as our partial planner plus stylist right away.

Although most of the times Elizabeth was remote with us, we still managed to meet in person quite a few times leading up to the wedding. She was so caring, detail oriented, organized, creative...we could not say enough great things about her and her team. The highlight is definitely her creative talent to understand our styles and perfectly incorporate it throughout the entire wedding presentation. We gave Elizabeth complete freedom around our welcome section because we simply had no bandwidth to think about it, and the day when we arrived at the venue everyone was surprised to see the beautiful installations and contemporary decors she put together with our florist. Elizabeth successfully translated our vision into something tangible, delivering something beyond the best design we could ever imagine. During the wedding day we had absolutely nothing to worry about - simply knowing East Made is there, taking care of both the grand timeline and the nitty gritty details, made us feel completely secure and relaxed.

All in all, I could not say if I'd recommend you to hire East Made as your stylist or planner because they are simply good at both realms. If possible, just try to trust them with all your heart and I have no doubt they will reward you with the most successful wedding experience ever. I can say this because East Made helped us create the most precious memory of our lives.

Elizabeth is an organized, professional, detail-oriented visionary!!

I worked with Elizabeth for my wedding weekend and am so grateful I did. Throughout the entire experience - from the first introductory phone call to post-wedding details, Elizabeth made me feel comfortable and confident. On the weekend of our wedding, she went out of her way to make us feel relaxed and most of all - helped us appreciate the beauty around us. So many of our guests told all throughout the night and afterwards how it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to. Elizabeth has an amazing gift that sees the vision, details, and everything in between to make it all come to life. There were so many thoughtful touches that she included, that I never would have thought of.

Elizabeth shines in all of her work as an event coordinator, through organization, professionalism, ability to make and convey difficult decisions, but I feel her true talent lies in her design. Everything she designs is breathtakingly beautiful. She is so talented in creating beautiful detailed flat-lays, tablescapes, and the ability to make it all cohesive. For my floral tablescape, I was unable to find pictures of exactly what I was envisioning, and within one in-person meeting, she was able to free-hand draw exactly what I was describing. I was amazed!

Having Elizabeth as part of our wedding to make everything run smoothly and effortlessly was truly such a blessing for us. The entire weekend was truly exactly what we envisioned, everything we dreamed of and more. I would recommend East Made Co. 10/10 times!

Perfection!

Stop looking for wedding planners and hire Elizabeth!! We were long distance planning our wedding and hired Elizabeth for full wedding planning since we didn't have much time to plan ourselves. She was awesome from the moment we started talking to her! Her style is absolutely amazing and timeless and she has such an attention to detail for styling. She knows all of the vendors in the Baltimore area and was able to pull together a kick-ass team for our wedding. On the day of the wedding she was amazingly organized and I wasn't stressed at all because she dealt with all of our vendors and keeping us on a timeline.
Elizabeth herself is also just the nicest and ended up surprising us with cut-outs of our cats for our photobooth! So cute and thoughtful!
I cannot recommend Elizabeth and her team enough!!

Elizabeth is amazing. Hands down the best. Elizabeth was truly a life saver. Completely organized and on top of her stuff. I literally didn't have to think of anything because I know she already thought of it. Without her our guests would have being eating lasagna with their hands. My now husband and I thought we could do everything by ourselves but once Elizabeth came into our lives we quickly realized how much trouble we would have been in if it weren't for her. She made our wedding beautiful and she will make yours too!

If you are wondering if you should get a month of planner, you SHOULD and Elizabeth and her team are the best. I cannot recommend Elizabeth and her company enough! We bought the month of planning and the design package. Elizabeth is so responsive and quick to answer any questions that you might have. As it was getting closer to the day I was feeling overwhelmed with all of the vendors and coordination. She made sense of all of my contracts and put together a timeline and coordinated that timeline to everyone so quickly.

The day of the wedding looked to be heavy thunderstorms, and she quickly helped me change all of my plans to inside (including the first look photos!). She made me feel relaxed about the rain and as unstressed as was possible. We were running behind schedule and she coordinated with the DJ to make sure we still had time to do everything we wanted and in a way that was not rushed at all. In terms of design, East Made made all of the random things that I bought look beautiful and I was getting compliments all night on the look of the wedding.

She made me us feel so relaxed and the flow of the wedding was perfect. Basically it was our dream day and we have East Made to thank for that!

If you're reading this, you've wisely started the first part of your wedding coordinator search and looked at East Made's page. Now, let me tell you why you need to continue on with the second part, which is hiring Elizabeth to be your wedding coordinator and why it's the best decision you'll make for yourself and your wedding. I hired Elizabeth for her partial package, which has a misleading name, as you'll never feel like you're getting partial effort from her. She was always attentive and responsive and gave 100% effort. She started helping me find vendors and brainstorm on style ideas after I had booked the venue and set my date. For me, Elizabeth's help was 3-fold. First, after being a bridesmaid several times I knew the value of hiring a wedding coordinator who is organized and calm. Elizabeth is both those things in spades. She never made me feel rushed or stressed (beyond my own natural stress during the planning process, lol). During the week leading up to my wedding, I knew she had everything handled, she had already sent me a highly detailed schedule for the big day, and she was adept at answering all my last minute questions with the ease of someone with all the time in the world. Secondly, I was new to Maryland and needed someone to help me navigate vendor selection who knew first hand from working with the vendors herself, or through colleagues of hers that had worked with them. Elizabeth gave me so many great starting points for finding vendors that would fit me, and even reached out to a few herself to get the feel of their price points and availability. She was KEY in my vendor selection.
Thirdly, I'm not great at putting a whole vision of style together. I know the aesthetic that pleases me, but I needed Elizabeth to really tie everything together. She made for us a day that was full of gorgeous details, and exactly the vibe we wanted. The wedding day flowed so easily and smoothly, and we have East Made Events to thank for it!

I hired Elizabeth as my month-of-coordinator and she was an absolute joy to work with-- sweet, professional, creative, organized, and caring. On the day of, everything felt seamless, looked beautiful and coherent, and she made the day feel exactly how we wanted it to: warm, timeless, surrounded by love. I will recommend her over and over again and cannot thank her enough for her dedication and vision. She introduced us to nearly ALL of our fantastic team of vendors, and was a logistics queen. My wedding had a LOT of moving parts (14 degree weather, a ceremony/reception room switch, and 150 people), but she handled everything perfectly. My only regret is not hiring her for full design and planning services-- she is worth the stars and the moon!

Let us start off by saying our biggest mistake was not paying Elizabeth to do more. We don’t quite understand how anyone could plan a wedding without her. From the day we met her, she was clear in her thoughts, and willing to help us formulate our perfect day. She was able to take our visions and turn them into a reality. The entire month prior, she was easily accessible, and always able to help when needed. She was able to take over all the details of the day and assisted with communicating with every single one of our vendors. On the day of, Elizabeth was able to keep our wedding on track and we were never more than 15 minutes off our initial timeline. Even when “issues” came up, we were never aware because Elizabeth was able to take care and solve them on her own. We received so many compliments from guests about how pleasant of a person Elizabeth was as well as her assistant, and complimented them on their professionalism. We are so thankful for Elizabeth and know that our perfect day was made possible because of her hard work and detail oriented mindset. If you are planning a wedding, use Elizabeth.

Where to begin? Elizabeth was truly wonderful to work with! I hired her for month-of coordination and she was a lifesaver. It is so clear that Elizabeth has a ton of experience in the industry and really knows the ins and outs of weddings—thinking of things I could never have thought of on my own. And during those last few weeks before your wedding when you discover that there are still so many decisions to be made.... Elizabeth was there to walk me through everything from the order of the processional to the best time to cut the cake. Her day-of-timeline was extremely helpful and made our families and wedding party really understand how the day would flow. Moreover, when it came to the actual wedding, she made sure everything ran smoothly and she insulated us from any hiccups that happened during the day. Elizabeth was extremely responsive, organized, and thoughtful throughout the process. I can honestly say out of all the things we spent money on, she was by far the best investment!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

On New Year's Eve of 2016 I was the officiant at a wedding in downtown Baltimore where Elizabeth Gopal of East Maid was the planner. I have participated in many weddings, but I have never seen a calmer planner lead a more organized event. Her serene competence radiated throughout the wedding, which unfolded beautifully. Both the bride and groom seemed to share my own confidence that she had everything well in hand, which she did. Working with Elizabeth was a great pleasure, which I hope to repeat in the future.
