Stephanie Forte and Morgan were GREAT!!! I could not have asked for a better Wedding planner and I am so glad that Elegant Events was there for me before the wedding, during the wedding and after the wedding. Thank you both so much for everything!

These two ladies are the epitome of customer satisfaction. There knowledge of the business and connections in the community were both invaluable assets. They truly care for you as a person and treat you like family.
I admired their business savy. They made our wedding run so smoothly all we had to do was relax. I am so
thankful to have had the chance to work with them and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I would put my wedding planner up against any planner! My husband & I LOVE her. Stephanie has shown us the true value of having a planner & she and I have established a sisterly bond that extended beyond the wedding day...I cannot say this about everyone. Let's plan the next event:-).

Stephanie was great. She got down to business as soon as we met. She took her job very seriously. She was organized and on time. She made time for me in her schedule. She made sure my vision for my wedding was made reality. There were some decisions I left up to her... all I can say is job well done. I am truly grateful for her. I wish I hired her sooner because the first wedding planner I had left me HIGHLY stressed and frustrated. Elegant Events by Stephanie Forte is a necessity for planning your event. You won't be disappointed.

The only reason I gave ElegantEvents five stars is because there aren't 10 stars!!! Stephanie Forte was absolutely phenomenal; responsive, insightful & VERY VERY accommodating. What she brought to our wedding experience made ALL the difference. She was attentive without being overbearing, concerned without being a nag and instrumental without being seen. Did I mention she did it all while in her last trimester. She is truly an asset for your wedding team. She kept everyone one and everything in check and planned for everything that could have happened the day of. I can go on and on about her! She tOok care of EVERYTHING and was well worth her charge (I almost felt she was underpaid). My husband and I feel we've gained a friend for life. If you can afford it, the compete package is the way to go. She was, in a word, exception!!!

Stephanie and her assistant are amazing! I honestly could not have planned that wedding without her help. She has a wealth of information. If you have a smaller budget she if the best choice you can make. Elegant Events is affordable, organized and helpful. We had a difficult family situation and Stephanie handled it all with grace and professionalism. She took our budget and made our day exactly what we wanted it to be. Our reception had just the atmosphere we were looking for. This company is just as down to earth as they are classy. No pressure to do anything you don't want, but Stephanie will keep you track with your budget. She is really good at coming up with alternatives and compromises. So that you're still happy but not broke. I was sad when the wedding was over because it meant I didn't get to see her anymore, but we have actually kept in touch. They go above and beyond. I only wish I'd had more finances at the time because she more than earned a bonus. You can not go wrong with this company.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
