Exceptional Wedding

Exceptional Events by Elisa will take the stress out of planning for your special day. We were in good hands from the beginning as there are many details to organizing a wedding, even for a smaller wedding like ours. We appreciate the great advice and all the hours spend keeping us in the loop. We are more then satisfied with the service and highly recommend them for not just weddings but other types of events and special occasions.

Herr-Price May 30th Wedding

Wow, where do I begin?!

Back in 2019, we hired Elisa for our May 2021 wedding. At the time, the Covid-19 pandemic was nonexistent and we planned to have our 150 person wedding in Falls Church, VA. As Covid restrictions began to loosen up for restaurants, entertainment facilities, sports, etc approaching the wedding we thought we would be in the clear. However, the wedding industry was told they could not have more than 25 people in a private gathering in VA even if following proper CDC guidelines.

Elisa and her team had to inform my now husband and me of the bad news, knowing that it would break our hearts. However, Elisa told us gracefully and we worked together to come up with a solution to allow for our 150 guest list and to keep our wedding vision alive.

We ended up ditching Plan A and switching locations to Plan B in Martinsburg, WV with only 2 months to plan. Elisa and her team worked tirelessly to help us pull off the last-minute switch. We were able to coordinate with all our wedding pros and have them relocate to our new venue. With Elisa's help, organization skills, and can-do attitude, all wedding pros were where they needed to be and when they needed to be there to have the wedding timeline executed to PERFECTION!

Even with having to go with ceremony Plan C on our wedding day due to inclement weather, Elisa and her team made it happen! Her attention to detail, punctuality, and ability to coordinate large crowds allowed Austin and me to relax and have the time of our lives on our wedding day!

If you are looking for a coordinator who advocates for her brides + grooms, can make miracles happen, is extremely organized, and can take the stress off of the family and couple, then Elisa from Exceptional Events by Elisa is your go-to girl! I cannot thank or recommend her highly enough!

Many Blessings and Utmost Gratitude to Elisa and her incredible team!

Xoxo,

Amazing! So thankful for Elisa

Elisa is absolutely amazing! If you are on the fence about a coordinator, please do yourself a favor and reach out to Elisa. I had no stress on my wedding day. She worked with us on our timeline and coordinated with our vendors so seamlessly. It rained on our wedding day and the wedding turned out to be more perfect than if it hadn’t rained. So thankful for Elisa and her team for everything!!!

Catered to all of our needs

We got married during the pandemic, and Elisa was very helpful with the process. She provided us with weekly updates and kept us informed as circumstances continued to change. After ultimately deciding to have our wedding and limiting the guest list, Elisa helped to discuss our decision with the venue and worked to make sure all of our needs were met. Her assistance was invaluable in helping us to organize a great and safe wedding. Our guests said it was the event of their year!
