Working with Michelle was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From the beginning, she brought organization, calm, and an incredible level of professionalism that made everything feel manageable and enjoyable.

On the wedding day itself, Michelle was absolutely invaluable. She handled every detail seamlessly behind the scenes so that Peter and I could truly be present and enjoy the day. Every transition, vendor coordination, and timing element flowed perfectly because she was orchestrating everything with such precision.

What stood out most was her ability to stay calm under pressure and solve problems before we even knew they existed.

Michelle allowed us to fully relax and trust that everything was being taken care of, and because of her, our day felt effortless and joyful from start to finish.

If you are planning a wedding and want someone who is organized, thoughtful, and incredibly skilled at what they do, we cannot recommend Michelle enough.

We truly could not have done our wedding without Michelle and the team at ELC Events.

From the very beginning, Michelle was organized, knowledgeable, connected, and incredibly helpful. She saw our vision clearly and complemented it beautifully - guiding us without ever taking over. She struck the perfect balance of offering expertise while still letting us make the wedding feel fully like us.

She met with us as often as we needed and was always prepared, thoughtful, and steady. On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. We were able to fully focus on each other and enjoy every moment because we knew she had everything handled. If anything went wrong, we were blissfully unaware! She and her team managed it all calmly and professionally behind the scenes.

Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but Michelle made the entire process feel effortless. Her years of expertise working in Santa Barbara truly showed...she is a seasoned pro in every sense.

We owe our flawless wedding weekend to her and her team. ELC Events is truly incredible, and we couldn’t recommend Michelle more highly.

Michelle, was so responsive and available with all of the planning prior to our big day, Additionally on the DAY OF, Michelle ran cover and defense for us with issues we never knew about until after. She handled all of the problems and there were many...there always are!! With your wedding, you want someone like Michelle to be on your team. She thinks on her feat, and takes initiative, she is lovely, and pleasant. She is the one you want!

Michelle from ELC Events was absolutely incredible and made our dream day come true. From the first meeting, we knew we had the right person for our vision and just as importantly matched our vibe. Everything came out better than we could have possibly imagined. The staging at Villa & Vine was... mind blowing. We're so thankful that she had everything running so smoothly, and that we could just focus on the day and celebrate with our loved ones. Incredibly responsive whenever we needed anything, and helped us stay within budget while somehow making our event look like we had spent 5x the amount we did.

You need Michelle (and Madison) for your wedding!!!!! I had the most perfect wedding ever this past Sunday and it was all thanks to Michelle and her team. Our venue was Villa & Vine and we picked Michelle because she has an amazing package that includes flowers, decor, linens, photo book, and DJ. I’m so glad we trusted her to select these vendors/decorations herself because I wouldn’t have changed a thing. The flowers were stunning, the decor was beautiful, the Dj was on point, and the Photo Booth was a hit! Her and Madison kept my Polaroid camera for the first book filled throughout the night as well. I didn’t have to worry about a thing throughout the process. And they cleaned up the venue and delivered everything neatly to our hotel room. They also handled some difficulties with the courthouse security and Arlington theater with grace and professionalism. I truly don’t know how people plan a wedding without someone like Michelle. I am now sad the wedding is over and I keep replaying the day over and over in my mind. Michelle and Madison helped create the best day of our lives and I’ll be forever grateful for them.

We had the pleasure of working with Michelle and her team for our Santa Barbara Club wedding. From day-one, Michelle was professional, detailed, and so very friendly. She understood our vision and provided advice leading up to the big day. My husband and I really valued her perspective and she gavus us invaluable reassurance as we booked vendors and planned out all the details.

Day-of, Michelle conducted the day with professionalism, ease, and most importantly, a big smile on her face. The day went off without a hitch and she guided our vendors through the schedule with ease. My husband and I floated through the day stress-free. She even stayed late to help us clean-up the venue and give us a hug goodbye!

I really can't say enough about Michelle. Even though we hired her as a day-of coordinator, she went above and beyond and helped us execute the wedding of our dreams. We are so overjoyed that we chose her as our coordinator.

Words can’t describe how amazing our wedding was thanks to Michelle. She helped us from months before our wedding up until even after the wedding and did everything to make sure our day was so special. We seriously couldn’t have done it without her. We booked the Villa & Vine full deluxe package and she booked most of our vendors for us and each vendor was absolutely amazing!! If you’re debating which coordinator to get I can’t recommend Michelle enough!

Michelle and her team were nothing short of amazing. They made sure our big day went smoothly. All our calls were productive and she is always available for any questions. She provided service that was well above our expectations or knowledge and we couldn’t be more thankful to her and her team. I will be sure to recommend her to anyone and everyone I know getting married!

We found Michelle when touring Villa & Vine (though we got married at the Cabrillo Pavilion), and from that first meeting, we knew we wanted her as our wedding coordinator. From the very beginning, Michelle was incredibly organized, communicative, and knowledgeable, making the entire planning process so much smoother for us. We had regular planning Zoom calls leading up to the wedding, and she was always available via email to answer any questions along the way.

Michelle’s industry expertise was evident in every detail—she even suggested the location for our first look, which we absolutely loved. She provided us with a super helpful planning Google Sheet and always asked the right questions during our calls, even bringing up things we wouldn’t have thought of on our own.

On our wedding day, Michelle and her team kept everything running according to plan. She stayed with us until the reception was underway, then left her trusted team in charge so she could be home for bedtime with her new baby. Unfortunately, after she left, a different vendor caused significant issues. Even though it wasn’t Michelle’s fault, she went above and beyond after the wedding to help us navigate the situation. In an incredible show of integrity, she even offered us a partial refund because she wasn’t able to personally resolve the issues that arose after her departure.

If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is detail-oriented, professional, and truly cares about her couples, we definitely recommend Michelle! She was a huge asset in making our wedding day a success, and we’re so grateful for all her hard work.

We had been working with Michelle for almost a year. She was responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond for us. We enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone doing the Courthouse + Villa and Vine combo! (Will add more photos when I get them back from our photographer!)
