The most incredible planner

Riley and her team went above and beyond for us! We absolutely adored working with Elegant Affairs by Design. From the very beginning, Riley allowed me to dream big. She gave us options to stay within our budget without sacrificing the luxury look we were wanting. Riley was so kind through every interaction we had. She answered every question, helped me through difficult decisions, and stepped in whenever I needed her. I never worried about a single thing on our wedding day. The EABD team came in, did everything, and allowed us to enjoy our perfect day! We are so thankful!!!

Best Decision Ever

The best decision I made was hiring Riley with Elegant Affairs by Design as my wedding planner. She is the sweetest most thoughtful person ever. She held my sanity together throughout my wedding planning process and went above and beyond to make sure my wedding was everything I dreamed of and more. She thinks of EVERYTHING - every single detail was checked off my list plus more. Her assistants who also helped out the day of my wedding were just as lovely and I got to chat with them beforehand too so we were all familiar with each other and expectations. The list of positive things I have to say could go on forever
