Amazing! Seriously, best wedding planner!

Vanessa is one of the kindest and most professional vendors I’ve ever worked with. Her knowledge of the wedding and events industry is unmatched and she is incredibly honest and helpful throughout any event. Her network with other vendors is extremely valuable, she is awesome! She has coordinated multiple events for me and my family - weddings, birthdays and proposals. Book her!

Best wedding planning service offered is Modern Elegance Weddings and Events, Vanessa (wedding planner) and her entire team!

Mordern Elegance Wedding and Events can do it ALL! Vanessa, owner and wedding planner is the perfect person to hire to plan the wedding of your dreams! She has vast amounts of knowledge on venues, vendors, and most importantly you can trust her with making decisions about your wedding and special day! What I love most is that you will be truly listened to, she is excellent at really understanding your vision and making exactly what you want come to life, but also being professional, realistic, and communicating with you constantly! She can do it all from day of planning, long term wedding planning, DIY weddings, if you live out of town wedding planning! I would absolutely hire Modern Elegance for any type of wedding planning and your wedding will be INCREDIBLE!!

Absolutely marvelous!!! 100/10!!!!

Vanessa was BEYOND a dream to work with both on our wedding day and the month leading up to our wedding. My husband and I had the dreamiest wedding thanks to Vanessa and her amazing assistants at Modern Elegance. She is the reason we were able to relax and just genuinely enjoy and soak up every moment while still staying on time, on track, and in order.

The entire month leading up to the wedding she was quick to respond (even during the busy holiday season) and rolled with all of the changes my husband and i threw at the last minute.
She made sure we didn’t have to lift a finger the month before the wedding or on the wedding day, and if something went wrong, we had NO IDEA until it was already resolved with solution options for us to choose from.

On our wedding day she and her assistants did the most wonderful job at making our vision coming to life and setting up our wedding perfectly.

She was without a doubt the best vendor and friend we had at our wedding and if we did it again, we would book her without hesitation.

Scott Wedding

Vanessa was amazing from the beginning of our collaboration to wedding day. She had so many great ideas for me, had knowledge in places to go when I had specific things to look for as well. Once it came down to the month of the wedding she handled all communication between vendors. All I needed to do at that point was give her mine and my fiancés answer and she moved forward. This was very helpful for us while we tried navigating busy work days. Day of the wedding not a single thing went wrong…and if it did then I would have no idea and Vanessa handled it with great composure. She also handled my large and rowdy wedding party (20) people with great organization. I would absolutely recommend her with your special day as she takes genuine care of you so you and your fiancé can really live in the moment.

Exceptional!

In 2014 I met the woman of my dreams. After being together 6 years, living together for 5, and moving across state lines it was time to pop the question. I needed my engagement to be perfect. Creating that spectacular moment came with stress, overthinking, and overwhelm. I connected with Vanessa Maes at Modern Elegance Weddings and everything changed. She immediately provided me with a sense of relief and confidence that the breathtaking proposal that I longed for could come to life. She made planning for perfection seem effortless. Vanessa made me feel like this proposal was as important to her as it was to me. She was patient, prepared, professional, and communicated effectively. Vanessa maintained a close connection every step of the way, providing support and excitement during the planning experience. She took my idea of a perfect moment and crafted and coordinated an absolutely stunning experience. My now wife describes my proposal and the events surrounding it as a fairytale, and it would not have been possible without Vanessa. If you want exceptional you want Vanessa Maes at Modern Elegance Weddings.

Amazing service!

I can not say enough good things about Vanessa! She is so detail oriented, super sweet and an amazing communicator. I appreciate her ability to problem solve with vendors making everything so seamless. Vanessa has been planning my events for the last 3 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else for the job. Truly 10/10 every time!

Magical Day

Vanessa set up the agenda for our wedding according to our wants and needs. She was on point with the decorations and cake/cupcakes setup. Our theme was very simple, rustic elegance and she nailed it! The best part is that this most important day was stress free and most memorable because of her expertise and genuine goal to make our day magical!
