Elena was and is a life saver!

Elena was and is a life saver! I was a Bride-to-be who thought she can plan and coordinate her wedding on all her own within 8 months. And while I got a few things set, when it was just two months and a half out, I was beyond stressed with a lot still to do. I was lucky to find Elena and have her available for my wedding date. I had her for month of coordinator and she was amazing enough to get a jump start with a few things from when I booked her. She was very detail-oriented with every aspect (especially for a very traditional catholic and Hispanic wedding). It felt great not having to check in with vendors the month of wedding because all I had to do was relay a message with Elena and she would get in contact with them within the day. I fully believe 100% that I was able to enjoy every aspect of my wedding because I knew Elena was there. Elena is a sweet soul but also knows how to get what needs to be done, done.

I highly recommend Elena for any events you may have

Elena was a great wedding coordinator, we could not have done it without her! She went above and beyond to make sure that everything went exactly as planned on the day of our wedding and even the days leading up to it. She is very kind and understanding and extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend for any event, especially a wedding! She was asking us questions we didn’t even think about and without her our wedding would not have been the same. Thanks so much Elena!

Above and beyond!

Elena made the whole stressful experience so fun and easy. She made the day of seamless and the days leading up to it exciting. We consider her part of the family now because not only is she talented but she’s a wonderful, warm, and fun person to be around anytime. Myself and my whole family (previous and new) highly recommend her!

With Elena’s guidance and organization, we were thrilled with our amazing wedding at Joshua Tree Music festival site.

Elena was organized and involved in every aspect of our wedding. She was patient with us as we made decisions and finalized all the specifics of our ceremony and reception. She was there that day to make sure everything went smoothly and we were all set up so that we could have the best time with no worries. Highly recommend.

Elena is amazing!

I don't think I have ever worked with an event planner like Elena! She was very communicative with me and the rest of the vendors; kept us all up to date with any changes. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond! I am glad I met Elena, and I do hope to work with her in the future again!
