ABOUT MICHELLE ELAINE - Starting out in the fashion industry, Michelle explored much of her creative side pursuing textiles, art and design. Opportunities abroad gave her the well rounded tools needed to truly hone in on her existing skills. Working under the expertise of many luxury brands and designers throughout Manhattan, Michelle grew an understanding of high quality service as well as the desire to create a vision in which people fall in love with. Her decision to leave the fashion world behind and explore her interest in events was when Michelle’s career really began to take off. In 2010, Michelle expanded her resume in the opposite direction with an opportunity in catering management and sales. Her boss and mentor, at that time, held over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, from The Plaza to The Waldorf. Quickly learning the ins and outs, it wasn’t long before she began to seek out greater challenges. In 2011, Michelle created a name for herself and hasn’t looked back. She believes that the client is always the first priority, and works closely with you caring for, and nurturing your wedding day as if it were her own. She has a very classic view point on wedding design and always marries trend with tradition.

The best wedding planner, even for recovering perfectionists

We wanted to give our wedding guests a memorable experience, and recognized that finding an experienced and well-rounded full service planner would be crucial to making it a reality. Michelle was everything we could have hoped for as a creative thought partner in our planning process, and so much more. She brought a highly vetted network of vendors to the table, helped us understand different tradeoffs based on our priorities and budget, and was thorough, patient, and fully transparent while advocating on our behalf. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, Michelle went above and beyond in anticipating issues large and small, staying on top of key decisions and dates, and occasionally playing therapist to our wedding-related anxiety. All the effort was rewarded, as it directly translated into some of our guests’ favorite moments, and thoughtful details that they raved about. On the day-of, her execution (along with her very considerate team!) was stellar as well; our guests, venue, and vendors all shared that it was one of the smoothest and drama-free weddings they had ever been a part of. It was a joy working with Michelle, and if you’re fortunate to have the opportunity to do so as well —do it! Working with Michelle was, without question, the best decision we made for our wedding.

Michelle and her team are great to work with. Coordinating with Michelle was an easygoing experience and she was extremely attentive and professional. They were right on schedule the day of the wedding and everything went through as planned! Couldn't be happier! Thank you for such a memorable evening.

Michelle and her team were absolutely incredible to say the least. From the day I hired them up until the final moments of our special day, they were on top of EVERYTHING. In the most professional manner, they relieved me of stressful situations, dealt with hard negotiations, put together details I didn't have time for, kept me extremely organized with detailed spreadsheets and the most thorough emails, and ultimately were the reason our day went so smoothly. I will forever recommend Michelle and her team to anyone who asks and be grateful for her services. Worth every penny. She is the calm amidst any storm and she is the positive energy every bride would hope to have alongside her on the most important day. Thank you Michelle!!!!
