Amazing coordinator!

Elizabeth was an extremely organized and helpful day of coordinator for our wedding this year. From the first time I talked to her to the end of our wedding night, she was very pleasant, organized and attentive. We met virtually multiple times leading up to the wedding to ensure she had all the details. She met my constant texts with information and questions with quick responses and assurances. On the day of, she helped with anything and everything we asked for and quickly solved the few issues that came up. We are so thankful we found her and would recommend to anyone needing a day of coordinator for their wedding or special event!

Incredible Coordinator

Elizabeth was hands-down incredible. She was incredibly organized leading up to our event, scheduling many sessions with us and connecting with every single one of our vendors ahead of time. Elizabeth came to our rehearsal alongside her day-of assistant and was pragmatic in planning out the next day. On the day of the wedding, Elizabeth coordinated all set up (and even dropped everything in the event of an emergency - and quickly solved the emergency!). She also made sure everything was packed up and taken care of after the event. Would absolutely recommend her services!

Awesome coordinator!!

I interviewed a few different coordinators before speaking with Elizabeth and we instantly clicked. She has an easy vibe to get along with but also handled my needs and got it done. I hired her as a day-of coordinator as I had the majority of my wedding planned but wanted back up on the day. It was such a relief to have Elizabeth there handling all the background things so I could focus on my new husband and our friends and families. Her fees were budget friendly and her responsiveness and communication was outstanding!

Day of coordinator

Elizabeth very quickly stepped in and took over after my previous coordinator cancelled last minute for my wedding. She did a great job at handling vendors and was very responsive anytime I had questions.

Wedding Planner

Working with our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding process. She truly cared about making our day special and was there for us every step of the way. She knew exactly when to push us, keep us on schedule, and help us make decisions when things felt overwhelming. Because of her, everything came together so beautifully!

We’re so thankful for all of her hard work, patience, and support throughout this whole journey. Could not have asked for a better person to be part of such an important season in our lives 🤍

Highly Recommend!

Elizabeth consistently brings the exact qualities you want in an event coordinator. She remains calm and focused under pressure, asks thoughtful questions, and anticipates potential issues before they arise. Elizabeth is incredibly organized, creative, patient, and genuinely caring, which makes the planning process feel seamless rather than stressful. She communicates clearly and proactively without ever overwhelming you, even during high-pressure moments. Her attention to detail and ability to balance logistics with creativity truly sets her apart, and you would not regret for a second hiring her to plan your wedding or event.

Personable, organized, perfect

We had gotten started with wedding planning but there was so many details, when we brought Elizabeth, her organization made it so much easier. We had regular check-in’s to see how we were making progress (great project manager). She is very communicative and day of we didn’t have to worry about anything- she connected with all of our vendors, made sure they were set up and knew where to be, her team helped figure out some final details, and she brought joy and professionalism to the day. Highly recommend!

Great under pressure

Our wedding day was amazing. We planned and planned. And then left it to her amazing care. We found out later of the issues that arose. She handled it so well that we didn’t know about it until the next day. Very grateful for her work and coordination!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
