Best Wedding Planner

I cannot recommend Michelle from Events by Elle highly enough. From our very first meeting, it was clear Michelle truly understood my vision and aesthetic for my wedding day. She asked thoughtful questions about my preferences, brought incredible ideas to the table, and made me feel completely at ease knowing I was in good hands.

Throughout the entire planning process, Michelle’s organization and attention to detail were unparalleled. She put together comprehensive checklists, timelines, and planning documents that allowed everything to run seamlessly. Michelle also has fantastic relationships with vendors across the board – she recommended our incredible photographer, florist, hair/makeup team and more. I trusted her suggestions completely.

On the wedding day itself, Michelle’s experience and expertise shone through. She handled any and all issues and changes smoothly and kept everything on schedule. Thanks to her, I got to purely enjoy the magic of my wedding day without a single worry or concern.

I cannot overstate what an invaluable partner Michelle was in bringing my dream wedding to life. For any couple wanting a stress-free, smooth planning process and perfect execution, Michelle is hands-down your best bet. I consider hiring her the best decision I made for our wedding day.

The best in every way!

If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further! Michelle planned our wedding and I wouldn't go back and change a thing about the vendor team she recommended or the wedding weekend--everyone had a blast. Whether you need help creating a vision or bringing one to life, Michelle will give you great advice and execute to perfection. She is efficient and incredibly talented at intuiting what people want, mediating disagreement, and finding solutions. She's also wonderful to spend time with. Working with Michelle takes the stress out of event planning--you will not be disappointed!!

If you book one thing, it should be Events by Elle

***Long post but 100% worth the read if you are looking for a planner***
Finding Events by Elle for my wedding coordination ended up being by far the best decision I could have made when choosing vendors…. I can’t emphasize enough how worthwhile it was to book them. Michelle has stuck with me through every high and every low these last 4 years. She is a huge part in our incredibly unique but beautiful wedding planning journey.

When we met Michelle in 2019, she initially helped us plan our big 200 person wedding, then 2020 hit. Michelle adapted quickly, getting our big day rescheduled and planning a separate intimate backyard wedding on our OG date. After all of these changes and hard work, Nick and I unfortunately cancelled everything all together due to unforeseen challenges… only 29 days before our backyard wedding. Michelle did everything for me when rescheduling and canceling each one… she not only showed up but went above and beyond to support me when I needed it most. I couldn’t have done it without her. Michelle gives 100% effort in everything she does. Even after so many changes during an exhausting pandemic, she still had so much passion in her work and quickly became someone I could always count on even after our cancelled initial wedding. She felt like more than just my wedding planner, she became a trusted friend and confidant.

2 years later after some time apart and finding solid foundation again, Nick and I felt 100% ready to FINALLY tie the knot ASAP! Michelle jumped to our side right away even with our short 3 month planning timeframe for the April date… Her genuine excitement and support of Nick and I felt so positive and much needed when planning a wedding for the third (yes I said third) time. This time, Michelle made sure we got it done… and worked tirelessly to make sure THIS one was the wedding of my dreams. I have no words to explain the pure joy, perfection, and happiness I felt on this long awaited day. Michelle took a video when I first walked into the venue and the excitement on my face when I run up to hug her says it all. Our wedding day with her as our coordinator was far better than I ever could have imagined. This group of girls only performs with the highest standards, never skipping a beat or leaving any loose ends. Our third time really was the charm.

Thank you events by Elle, Michelle, Jonelle, and everyone else for being by far the most qualified, genuine and hard working wedding planning group in KC!! Not sure what you’re doing if you don’t snag Events by Elle while you can, you absolutely won’t regret it.
