The best decision we made!

I will never forget looking over at Elexis (and Wes) during our rehearsal the day before our wedding and thinking, 'wow, I could not have done this whole thing without her.' I can, without hesitation, say that hiring Elexis was the best decision we made when deciding to have our wedding in Lake Placid. She's professional, SUPER responsive, has strong relationships with local vendors, builds strong relationships if you bring in any new vendors, experienced, and LOVELY to work with.

Elexis stayed on top of the one MILLION details that go into wedding planning, and had every second of the day completely memorized from beginning to end. Her relationships with local vendors was completely invaluable; I didn't have to worry about being the middle man coordinating vendor details because Elexis works with these vendors year round and they have a tight-knit community. Elexis also thought of details that would have completely slipped my mind otherwise; her experience, especially her experience in Lake Placid, prevented hundreds of could-be headaches.

The wedding day was calm and easy thanks to Elexis. I didn't have to worry about a thing. OH and we had a 30+ person wedding party, and as far as I know, EVERYONE knew where to be, where to stand, when to leave, where to put their flowers, etc. without any reminders from me! I don't know how she did it.

I can't say enough. If you're planning a wedding in Lake Placid, you HAVE to reach out to Placid Planner. I promise that on your wedding day, you'll see her, give her a hug and say that hiring her was the best decision you made in your planning process!

International Small Wedding

We had a small February wedding near Lake Placid, with both of our families traveling in internationally. Having Placid Planner involved made such a difference for me. Elexis kept everything organized, handled the logistics we never would have thought about, and made sure our families were taken care of throughout the weekend. Because of that, we were able to relax and actually enjoy our rare time together. We are so glad we worked with Placid Planner and would recommend her to anyone planning an intimate wedding in the area.

She anticipated issues before they arose, managed vendors seamlessly, and allowed our family to truly enjoy the entire weekend.

Family estate wedding on Lake Placid

Planning a destination wedding in Lake Placid sounded dreamy until we realized how many details go into a private estate event. Elexis was the solution. She is direct, organized, and incredibly experienced in this market, and she handled everything from vendor coordination to rentals, timelines, and on-site management with zero drama. Our wedding was summer 2025 with 55 guests at a family property on Lake Placid, and the entire weekend felt seamless. We felt supported the whole way through, and on the day of, we were able to relax and be present. We cannot recommend Placid Planner enough.

Full-Service Elopement Wedding Planning

We eloped in Lake Placid with a small group of people this summer and hiring Placid Planner was the best decision we made. Elexis handled every detail. She built our website, created our e-invitations, managed the day of stationery needs, designed the large table, coordinated rentals, handled menu creation, and took care of all venue communication, guest lodging, and every vendor involved. All we had to do was make choices and show up. The entire experience felt calm, organized, and fun. If you want someone who truly handles everything, this is the company.

July Keene Valley Tent Wedding

I will be the first to admit that I once thought a planner was optional, but the moment we considered hosting a tented wedding on private family land in Keene Valley, I knew we needed someone full service and local to handle every stressful logistic. Before we even committed to bringing two hundred guests into such a remote Adirondack valley, it was clear that this was a level of planning far beyond what we could take on ourselves. My biggest worry, other than everything, was figuring out lodging options and dependable transportation for guests, since the closest town is Lake Placid, twenty five miles away.

From the beginning, Elexis made the planning feel possible. She understood the challenges of Keene Valley and immediately laid out what the weekend would require. She guided us through tent decisions, flooring, lighting, power, restrooms, rentals, timelines, load in schedules, vendor coordination, and the entire plan for getting guests safely to and from the property. She anticipated every complication before it became one.

When the weekend arrived, everything worked. Guests had places to stay, transportation ran smoothly, and the tented setup on our family land looked better than we ever imagined. If you are planning a tented wedding in the Adirondacks, especially in a remote place like Keene Valley, hiring Elexis is the decision that makes the entire weekend come together.

Local expertise and guidance that made all the difference

Planning a destination wedding in Lake Placid was overwhelming at first, especially since we live out of state and our venue’s staff was slow to respond and offered very limited details. We found Placid Planner after realizing we needed someone local who truly knew the area and could communicate directly with our venue. Working with Elexis made all the difference. She knows the area inside and out and handled every detail with calm efficiency. She not only managed the logistics flawlessly but also guided the overall design, helping us create a cohesive look that fit the setting perfectly. I honestly do not know how we would have pulled this off without her support. 10/10.

If you are planning a Lake Placid or Adirondack wedding, hire Placid Planner. Having someone local who truly understands the area, the vendors, and the challenges of remote venues is invaluable. Elexis makes the process enjoyable, organized, and seamless so you can actually look forward to your wedding day.

Best wedding planner in town

Elexis was our wedding planner for our October 2025 wedding, and she was truly incredible from start to finish. She goes above and beyond to make sure you get the wedding of your dreams, and seeing the final result left me absolutely speechless.

I reached out to Elexis a year in advance because I had no idea where to even begin with planning. From the very first conversation, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident. The entire planning process felt effortless because of her. She’s organized, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. Communicating with her never felt like business—it felt like chatting with a friend who just happens to be amazing at what she does.

Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and every single one was wonderful to work with. Thanks to her guidance, everything came together perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out.

If you’re wondering whether you need a wedding planner, the answer is an easy yes. Elexis made what could have been a stressful experience feel like a total breeze. On the day of the wedding, she was right there with us the entire time, working her magic and ensuring everything ran flawlessly.

I’m genuinely going to miss working with her—she’s that good!
