We were so lucky to find Danielle! We worked together for 2 years to create our wedding day and it turned out beautifully and just what we wanted. Even more, this was a destination wedding which can add a whole new element of stress but didn’t because of Elise Events. The day of the wedding I was able to fully enjoy our day, free of any stress, because I knew and trusted Danielle would execute flawlessly. She has wonderful relationships with her vendors which make them want to go the extra mile for you. Over the two years we spent countless hours going over the tiniest details and exchanged thousands of emails. Danielle has become a friend and we just love her to pieces!!

I truly can’t say enough about Danielle and Elise Events as a whole. When you get engaged and start to think about planning your wedding, it can be incredibly overwhelming. From the moment we met Danielle over coffee, I knew right then she would be the absolute best; she was so invested in our vision and really made us feel at ease (as a new bride to be a had a lot of questions and concerns.) From the beginning, she set up multiple venue site visits for us to attend together and walked through each step with us, from narrowing down pricing to helping us get the date we wanted once we finally found the one. Fast forward a few months, we had many design meetings and countless calls and emails discussing every little detail, Danielle put her creative mind to work and truly guided us in creativing exactly what we envisioned, only better- because she put her impeccable design spin on it. Not only is she talented with her design and creative abilities, she is so organized and methodized in every thing she does. She has all her clients set up on an online portal that keeps track of budget, guest list, seating chart, vendors contracts etc. It was so helpful in keeping us on track and dialed in throughout the whole process. Like all her other clients, I am sad our wedding and planning days are over not just because of the magical day she helped us put on but because I miss talking to her multiple times a week and catching up with her whenever we were in Tahoe for wedding planning! She is more than a planner or creative designer to her couples, she has such a kind heart and truly wants her clients to be happy and enjoy every part of planning their dream day. You know you picked the right planner when she gets just excited about your wedding details as much as you do.

Planning a perfect wedding is no easy feat. Endless options, endless decisions, endless details that, in the end, need to be perfectly planned and executed for the biggest, most memorable day of a couples’ life. No pressure, right? Nope. Not for Elise Events, anyway. Founder and Creative Director, Danielle Sammons, has mastered the art of wedding planning.

Having worked in design for over a decade, I was initially drawn to Elise Events by her portfolio. Not only was each wedding beautifully unique, but the sensitivity to design was unlike any other. In working with Danielle on every little detail from the invitation suit to floral arrangements, I now understand why. Danielle has the rare ability to hone in on your vision and bring it to life – only better!

Looking back on our wedding day, there isn’t a single thing we would’ve changed. To this day, our friends and family still comment that it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to. A compliment we owe to Elise Events. If you’re looking for a wedding planner with a uniquely creative eye and unyielding desire for perfection, Elise Events is “the one!”

Danielle and Elise events is the best decision we could have ever made for our wedding. We have her to thank for the most beautiful, seamless and perfect day in our lives! From the moment we met Danielle we knew she was the right choice. She is the sweetest, most creative, stylish, talented and organized person. Danielle truly has impeccable taste. She was there every single step of the way from the concept and design of the wedding, helping us find amazing vendors, organizing and facilitating everything, and providing us with professional guidance in the most tasteful way. With my husband and I both working full time jobs with a full travel schedule, she made planning SO easy and stress free. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and flawlessly executed and we owe it all to Danielle’s dedication to ensure that we had and ENJOYED the wedding of our dreams. We received overwhelming compliments on not only the design details, but how smooth, elegant and effortless the wedding day was. It was the best decision we could have ever made to hire Danielle to plan our wedding and we feel so lucky to have worked with her. We had a weekend full of events and every single one was perfect. Words literally can't describe how happy we were with our wedding weekend. I'm still having major wedding withdrawals! Thank you Danielle for planning our favorite day and weekend so perfectly.

When your only daughter is getting married, you can’t help but want perfection. Thanks to Elise Events, we got exactly that. Founder and Creative Director, Danielle Sammons, is firm yet gentle, professional yet personable, and creative yet methodical. From beginning to end, Danielle worked tirelessly in pursuit of transforming my daughter’s vision to reality. Together, they reviewed fabric swatches, paper samples, and calligraphy styles, and created mood boards, table renderings, and timelines. Along the way, Danielle offered recommendations, best practices, and – best of all – her creative ideas. Somehow each one was seemingly more beautiful and unique than the last. To top things off, Danielle’s team of vendors were equally talented. From the makeup artist, hair stylist, and musician to the floral artist, cake artist, and photographer, each vendor was perfectly curated for the venue and vibe. As the mother of the bride, I could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding planner for my daughter’s wedding. Hiring Elise Events was the best decision we made – next to welcoming our son-in-law into our family. While the wedding has come and gone, our love for Danielle will remain. If you’re looking to enjoy the wedding planning process with your daughter – and have a truly beautiful and unique wedding day that is flawlessly executed – Elise Events will deliver beyond your wildest expectations.

Hiring Elise Events was the best decision we made while planning our destination wedding! Living in Dallas, and working with several vendors in Lake Tahoe could have been a daunting task. But thanks to Danielle's professionalism, relationships, and eye for detail... the planning process was seamless and enjoyable.

Danielle has the unique quality of guiding your vision and dream into a reality. She has great creative insight and can really take a bride's vision to the next level while staying on budget.

Our wedding was more beautiful than I ever could have hoped. I attribute that to Danielle and her team of handpicked vendors. Each as top notch as herself.

If you're looking for someone who is warm, caring, passionate, creative and organized... then Danielle is your girl. She was worth every penny and absolutely the reason our destination wedding and weekend was a success.

The best choice for your dream day!

Danielle and her team will make your special day feel seamless, unique and perfect.
She is very professional, organized and well connected in the Lake Tahoe/Reno area and her network of vendors are all just as delightful to work with. We choose Elise Events for month of planning and day of coordination for our wedding on September 16, 2016, as recommended by our photographer Kari Spralinger aka Gagewood Photo, who is also a creative counterpart. As busy individuals who live in San Diego, planning for a destination wedding was difficult and our time to plan was limited by our crazy working schedules. Successful planning would not have been possible without Danielle!

Danielle is skilled in her attention to details and her ability to make things beautiful. Every wedding she puts together is a unique creation and will not look or feel like a typical Pinterest wedding. Kari and Danielle make a great team and help cover all the logistical and creative needs that you will want for your wedding. Months later and I’m still breathless when I look at our wedding photos. If we could do it all over again we would use this dynamic duo!

I can't recommend Elise Events enough. Danielle, the creator and mastermind behind Elise Events is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. Having her plan my own bridal shower and wedding, I have personally witnessed the hard work and passion that she puts into every aspect of her job, and is one of the most talented creators I have seen. Danielle is able to execute any task with distinction, and her techniques and design elements set her apart from the rest. Her standards for high quality results for any wedding big or small, and her work ethic exceed anyone’s expectations. Not only is her styling and artistic eye incredibly unique, but her thoroughness and her drive to be the best, puts her at a higher caliber in her field. I enjoyed working with her so much, and loved watching her wedding process unfold. I tend to feel overwhelmed when it comes to planning, and Danielle made me feel at ease every step of the way. On my wedding day, I felt relaxed and taken care of, and I was able to be in the moment and enjoy every second of my day because I knew I was in the best hands possible. Thank you Danielle for making my wedding day the best day ever!

Having Danielle by our side while we planned our wedding was the best decision we made. Her attention to detail and decisiveness were exactly what we needed while planning one of the best days of our lives. She has a great eye and sense of style and we never doubted any advice or decisions she made. The day of was carefree and seamless because we knew she was there and we were left to enjoy the day stress free!

Danielle should be the first vendor you choose for your wedding! Everything else will fall into place easily afterward.

We remain in close contact and have developed a great friendship with Danielle! Not only is she amazing at her job, but she is a kind and wonderful person!

It's hard to put into words how amazing Danielle is, all I can say is that she is the best! Danielle consistently exceeded our expectations and was, by far, one of the best decisions we made. We were able to vocalize all of our ideas, loves, hates and concerns and she took all of them in and delivered way above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Not only is she fantastic to work with but she has fantastic relationships with all 'wedding related vendors'. Nothing went unattended, every detail was thought of and thoroughly planned, and when our wedding day came she was a calming presence for all. She has the best eye for design, the best taste for style, is professional and personal... Danielle truly is one of a kind and the best event planner in the Lake Tahoe area. Can't say enough great things about her and her work.
