Owner and Lead Planner, Rich Wiemer, found his passion for weddings while planning his own big day. While working closely with his wedding planner, he couldn’t help but get involved in the process. That spark turned into a mentorship, and after a few years of learning the ropes, Rich founded Elite Wedding Planning. Since then, he’s been helping couples create beautiful, unforgettable weddings.

At Elite Wedding Planning, we offer a range of services, from Full Planning and Partial Planning to Month/Day of Coordination.

NYE Wedding

I do NOT know what I would have done without Elite Wedding Planning. Rich was absolutely amazing from our first phone call. He helped us plan our wedding from states away. He had us think of things that other wise would have never crossed our minds. He never over stepped and rolled with the punches each time I changed my colors (a million times)! He handled EVERYthing. From the smallest detail to the largest. Had the best ideas and really made us feel like family at the end of the day. I really cannot thank him and his team enough for what they did for us. I will always recommend Elite Wedding Planning!

What an experience!

Working with Richard as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process. He didn’t just plan our wedding—he invested his time, energy, and heart into every detail. Very quickly, he became more than a planner; he became a true friend.

Richard is trustworthy, dependable, and deeply committed to making your vision come to life. He consistently went above and beyond, and his eye for design and concepts honestly left us speechless. The level of care he put into everything showed how much he genuinely wanted our day to be perfect.

I couldn’t imagine going through the day without him by our side. He kept us calm, organized, and fully present, taking care of things before we even realized they needed to be handled.

You’d be silly not to hire this man. Richard is an incredible person who delivers on every promise and then some. After this experience, I can truly see him being a lifelong friend. If you’re looking for someone exceptional, look no further—Richard is the one.

Amazing experience

Rich and Danny were truly the best! They were kind, attentive, experienced, responsive, helpful, and so so supportive throughout our wedding process. We had the most amazing wedding weekend and so much of that is because of their help and support. They kept things moving, were able to adjust behind the scenes when needed, and overall made my husband and my day so enjoyable. We truly cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Rich and Danny!

Wonderful!

Rich was fantastic to work with! We could not have asked for a better planner. 

In the months leading up to the wedding, he helped us piece together each component of our special day, from decor ideas, timelines, and coordinating with all of our vendors. He filled in areas we didn’t even think about and was ready to give suggestions on how we could make our day better and flow smoothly.

Day of, Rich and his husband were rockstars! Our special day flowed seamlessly, we could not have asked for anything better. The amount of effort and passion Rich put into our wedding is truly inspiring. We cannot recommend enough to hire this man as your coordinator, you can rest assured that you will be well taken care of in his hands.

We will always be thankful for everything he did to ensure our day was special and memorable.

Organized, professional, flexible, great communication

I can't recommend Richard and Danny enough! From start to finish, they were the epitome of professionalism—always organized, calm under pressure, and fully in control of every detail. What stood out most was how approachable and easy to talk to they were from the moment I met them at the Bridal Expo. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but they made every conversation feel relaxed and reassuring.

Communication was effortless. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and I always felt in the loop without ever feeling stressed. On the big day, everything ran so smoothly that I was able to truly enjoy the moment without worrying about a thing. That peace of mind is priceless.

Thanks to Richard and Danny, our wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. If you want someone professional, kind, and who will make your day seamless and stress-free, look no further!

10/10 Would Recommend

I absolutely cannot imagine our wedding going so well without Richard. My now husband and I are not great planners and weren’t hands on at all, but somehow Richard was able to make everything happen! Everything went so smoothly, and if you’re a hands off type of person you can 1000% rely on Richard to get everything done. His attention to detail was out of this world, and he somehow made my vague ideas into the most beautiful day. He somehow knew that I would completely forget about a card box, listened to my many sisters’ opinions, and so much more.
