MVP of our wedding day

Where to even start. Jackie Carter and her team at Elease were perfection. Best money spent by far. Helped the entire weekend go by without a hitch. Her team was able to tackle every request and challenge we threw their way. They worked together flawlessly with all our vendors. They provided priceless input on vendor selection and every detail of the day. Having access to her equipment to rent also saved us a ton and relieved loads of stress from planning and traveling. Her team stayed on top of us for all deadlines and were extremely responsive whenever we needed them. It was a pleasure working with her every step of the way, and we are grateful for the many meetings she was able to have with us leading up to the wedding. We could not have asked for a more perfect planner and cannot thank her enough for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more.

Elease Productions Made My Day!

We could not have been happier with not only the service but the relationships we had working with Elease Productions. Jackie who was our main point of contact throughout our planning, showed the utmost support and care for us. She always gave off that vibe of being 110% on our team, in our corner every step of the way. She was so attentive and flexible during the planning phase, working with our schedules to meet up and discuss different aspects of our day. Come day of, I couldn't have asked for anything better. Of course there were a few hiccups but Jackie and her team handled them flawlessly and professionally. I would absolutely recommend hiring Elease Productions to help make your day magical.

Executed my vision with ease.

Elease productions executed my vision (or lack of) so beautifully. Stephanie did an amazing job with helping me plan for the big day! I was from out of town so wasn’t able to see my venue, try any foods, or even bring down a bunch of decorations. Stephanie gave me amazing recommendations and I was able to rent some decor from them. They even brought extra stuff that they knew I would need and look good the day of! The day turned out beautiful and Jackie was there to help also. Even with any curveballs thrown their way the day of they handled it without any stress on me. I also used their bar service. Everyone told me they loved the bartender and that the food was amazing and everything looked so good! Thank you Stephanie!

Excellent work and very professional. Jackie's ideas and suggestions really helped us throughly

Jackie is absolutely amazing and very professional. She really took the stress of having to hire different aspects of our reception by having a great team cover everything we needed. She really listens and implemented every idea we wanted. Everyone were really impressed by the look of all the decorations. I would recommend Jackie for anyone that wants the wow factor for their wedding and reception.
