I found Eileen Smith Events on Wedding Wire and I am so glad I did! We had a bit of a special circumstance where we had multiple events and were hosting one of the large receptions on behalf of the groom and his family. This event closes out a long list of events amongst Pakistani Muslim weddings. As fun as it is, it is a lot of work to have so many events! We tried planning things on our own, but we needed help to bring the details together, especially on the day of. Initially, we thought about hiring ESE just for the day of the event, but as we got to talking, we realized Eileen and Cassie would be a great help in the planning stages as well. The bride had her own event to plan, and the groom enlisted his siblings and parents to assist with this event, but we still needed the expertise that only comes with a seasoned wedding planner.

While the venue was already booked and the overall vision decided, ESE helped us bring it all together and make it a little more special. Eileen and Cassie were readily available via email, communicative, listened to the needs, set up meetings as needed to stay organized, and most importantly were willing to learn about our culture and traditions so everything aligned. They were always willing to come up with new ideas if we felt that something didn’t fit and iterate on it as a team. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and partners to make things come together and the bride and groom were so happy with the result!

They worked so well with the venue staff, organized everything to align with our requests, and executed the event flawlessly. We had some last-minute (I am talking AT the event last minute) adjustments that had to be done and they were game too which was SO appreciated. We have 2 more brothers in line to get married and would not hesitate to hire Eileen Smith Events again for sure!

While this year has been a challenge for a wedding, Eileen was with us all the way. Her calm demeanor and understanding was exactly what we needed. She is professional and meticulous down to the final detail in organizing our wedding. She is well connected in wedding resources in the area; from donuts to a bagpiper she knew exactly who to call and what to do.

I highly recommend Eileen to help you with your wedding planning. She knows exactly how to put together your wedding, the beautiful wedding that you requested and dreamed of all while following covid 19 precautions.

Thanks again Eileen!

Eileen worked with me, my fiancé, and his family (we had our wedding at the family home) for more than a year, and the result was the most magical day of our lives. One thing that we love about Eileen is her ability to bring calm into even the most frenzied situations. She worked tirelessly to make our wedding the most special day - and we also credit her for giving us perfect weather! [It rained up until a few hours before the ceremony, when it turned into a gorgeous late summer day. Coincidence? We think not. It was the work of Eileen :-) .] We would not have been able to do any part of the wedding process without her expertise, support, creativity, resourcefulness, and organization. Thank you, Eileen, for everything!
