Best Wedding Planner Ever!

I cannot recommend Ellen and her team enough! As someone who is not a planner, they made the process so easy with zero stress. They were with us every step of the way and were so helpful during the entire process. I cannot thank Ellen and her team enough for everything they did!

Literally amazing!

ETED made wedding planning the most fun and seamless process! I had so much fun brainstorming with Maddie and Ellen and they truly have an eye for making a show stopping event! They became our such good friends throughout the process and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help make the day so special!

Best Wedding Planner EVER!

Working with Ellen and her team was an incredible experience! ETED made the entire experience feel exciting and special despite the unavoidable stress of wedding planning. They took my vision and made it a dream come true! They were so easy to work with, extremely professional, very understanding, and really took so much of the stress off me and my family. Wedding planning can be stressful, but with Ellen and her team they make it so much FUN!!!!

Terrific Time in Tupelo

Ellen Thomas Event Design…what can I say??? If you’re on the fence about using this company, go for it! You will not regret it! Professionalism at its best…these women strive to make the most perfect day/night for their clients. I did the rehearsal dinner package, and I’d do it again everyday of the week and twice on Sunday!! Just the best!! Every question was answered timely. Every problem had a solution (not many problems though!)

Oxford, Mississippi

Ellen and her associates were AMAZING! Their professionalism was impeccable along with their communication and they made it so enjoyable to plan a Rehearsal Dinner! They also helped plan events for the groomsmen and did an AMAZING job with the wedding ceremony and reception for the Bride! I wish we could have hired them for our daughter's wedding in Alpharetta, Georgia!

The best of the best

We selected the partial planning , which was the second to highest package. I never once felt as if they weren’t there for absolutely everything even without the full package purchased. The absolute best of the best !! Ellen , Kate, and the team made the entire wedding planning experience more fun and stress free than I could’ve ever imagined. They are all so sweet and work so hard 24/7 to ensure we had the best day of our lives. It doesn’t matter what you pay these girls - it’s not enough! Worth every penny and more!

Maddie and her team at EllenThomasEventDesign helped us have the wedding of our dreams!

I truly cannot thank Maddie and her team enough for catering to all of our needs throughout the whole wedding planning process. They did not miss a beat! From the constant emails, texts, questions that I asked them (even on a sunday!!) they always answered super quickly and with extreme detail. Planning a wedding out of state can be a bit nerve racking but Maddie and the team at Ellen Thomas Event Design made the process feel so much better! If you are needing a top notch event planner for your next even I 100% recommend them!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
