    Awesome work - best investment spent!

    Elise led the entire design and production of our fall wedding in Sunol, CA. All our friends & relatives say it’s one of the most beautiful weddings they’ve ever been to! Since my venue came with a day-of-coordinator / event manager, I wasn’t sure whether it was worthwhile to hire an additional planner leading up to the event. I can tell you ELISE IS SO, SO WORTH IT! Elise helped source and manage all our vendor briefings (i.e., the flowers needed to fit the color scheme, on site visit for the rentals, phone calls, etc.), stayed on top of the contracts and payments, and also provided much needed expertise on just HOW to pull off a beautiful and fun wedding in general. Elise’s day-of timeline and floorpan were SO handy for everyone: we used these repeatedly in the days leading up to and during the reception. Elise also had AMAZING creative ideas to design a meaningful and personalized event - like our travel theme, beautiful luggage tag seating card display, and advice on how to think about the space and directing the eyes to certain areas. She is hard working, responsive, and organized - HIGHLY recommend!

    I work in the wedding industry and I chose Elise.

    I work in the wedding industry, so I know some wedding planners can be awesome, and some, well, not so much... So when it came to my own wedding day, I already knew a handful of planners I trusted. I went with Elise because of her focus on sustainability, which is so important to me, and I'm so so glad I did! Thanks to Elise, I was able to actually relax and enjoy the day. She took care of everything with grace and I could not be happier. Best decision I made! If you hire her, she will take such good care of you and all your guests. You will not regret it!

    Best decision of the wedding!

    The absolute best decision of our entire wedding was having Elise as our planner. She provided great communication through the entire process. Her knowledge of vendors and everyone she connected us with was great. Her experience really showed and she was very thorough. She was personable yet professional and I felt comfortable trusting her through the many decisions that come with planning. She brought great personal touches and made the day unforgettable. I would hire Elise and her team to do my wedding again and again without hesitation.

    Elise is top notch

    Elise is a wonderful wedding planner and we are so glad we hired her for full-service planning for our wedding. She is super creative and delivered everything we expected. She made our special day care-free and we couldn't recommend her enough.

    Perfect magical amazing

    Elise is an absolutely amazing amazing wedding planner. Our very large wedding was scheduled for May 2020 so we got a very large shock 2 months before the wedding. Elise helped us navigate the entire rescheduling process so seamlessly. She was there to communicate with vendors and the venue and to provide a supportive and empathetic ear. She helped us reschedule to a year out which, unfortunately, with the ongoing pandemic, we were not able to have because of restrictions in San Francisco. We then planned a very small intimate wedding at a completely different venue and she helped so much in organizing and coordinating all that. It was magical and perfect and it was all because of Elise. Elise basically helped us plan 3 weddings! She is incredibly creative and has wonderful ideas. Weddings are complicated and a lot of work and having Elise helps so so so much. Could have honestly not done it without her.

    Elise Brannan was the best thing to happen to our wedding!

    From the moment we got engaged I knew I was going to need some major help. By chance in connecting with another bride, she highly recommended her planner Elise Brannan -- Brannan Events. The moment I checked out Elise's work bells went off!! We connected and met in person AND immediately clicked. She nailed my vision to a T and more!! She knows her stuff and I would trust her with my life!! She truly became family to us. Elise was our planner from the very beginning - until the most magical day of our lives. And I wasn't kidding when I said she became family, my parents have also hired her as my sister's planner as well!!

    Elise is professional, reliable, and extremely talented. We will never be able to thank her enough for putting together the most amazing wedding for us!!! (Gardener Ranch 10.20.18) xoxo Lauren & Miguel

    In love with Brannan Events!

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about Elise. We went with her “month of coordination plan” and it was the BEST decision we made toward our wedding. We met many times over the year. She helped me keep on track and was a knowledgeable resource that I loved bouncing ideas off of.

    She has an comprehensive tool called Aisle Planner that helps you stay on track. It has a detailed timeline. It also helps you organize your guest list, budget, contacts and everything wedding related you can imagine. Aisle Planner also allows you to post inspiration boards to share with you florist, bridesmaids and Elise.

    The month before the wedding I was able to hand over everything to her. She coordinated with all of our vendors, created a detailed timeline, ran our rehearsal, and executed the best day of our lives. My friends and family that interacted with her we’re blown away by her professionalism, charisma, and ability to stay calm under pressure. Months later I am still getting compliments on how amazing she was.

    Overall and most importantly the day of our wedding we were able to relax. Planning a wedding is overwhelming and I honestly could not have done it without her.

    Please know that as outrageously positive what I’m going to say seems, it doesn’t’ even begin to describe how important Brannan Events / Elise was to my wedding. Elise took my (tight by Bay Area standards) wedding budget and helped me create (okay she really created it with minimal input from me) the most wonderful experience for me and my guests.

    Before I hired Elise, I was pretty much having panic attacks every few days – and we were well over a year out. She swooped in, took it all off my plate, and made sure that everything got done in the most supportive, thoughtful, and efficient way. I was obscenely busy going into wedding planning, and Elise helped all of the planning get done, and connected me with the most amazing vendors to really round out my wedding! I am not the most creative person, I roughly know what I like, what I don’t like, have favorite colors and had a vision for an overall vibe. I gave Elise that little bit of information, and she created a fabulous experience.

    Going into the final stretch, there was virtually no stress on me, Elise had it all handled. If anything went wrong during that last month, I really didn’t hear about it. Day of, everything went smoothly, I was happy, my husband was happy, everyone was happy!! I can honestly say that Elise made my wedding experience the best it could possibly be, and I highly recommend her for all your event planning and coordination needs. I miss our emails and phone calls and can’t wait to get coffee the next time she is free in the valley!!

    If I could give Elise 10 stars I would. She is incredible at what she does. I booked her two years before we got married and she was wonderful from day one. Responsive, affordable, patient, informative, calming, ON TOP OF IT! She knows what she is doing. She met with me multiple times before the wedding and spoke with me so much via text and on the phone, I honestly could not have done it without her. She guided me through the whole process and made is so much easier (because it can be extremely overwhelming). She was great with our bridal party and all of our guests. She took charge at the rehearsal and told everyone what they needed to be doing, everyone kept commenting on how good she was and not to mention SWEET. She is SO nice, she oozes with kindness. She is confident and knows how to organize a lot of people with different personalities at different levels at one time, all the while keeping her cool. I heard some of our drunk guests were rude to her (so sorry Elise!!) and she handled it so well (I didn't know until after the wedding, someone mentioned it to me). She kept me calm, cool and collected the whole time (and so did Michael...thank you Michael!). I would 100% recommend you hire Elise. I wish I had hired her for the whole planning package in hind-site. I just did day of planning and it was A LOT to handle with a full time job. I am a control freak and a perfectionist and I just couldn't give that up in the beginning, but looking back... Elise is just as detail oriented and is so creative and communicative. She would have nailed it and saved me a few melt downs. HIRE HER. NOW. DO IT. Thank you Elise <3

    We hired Elise as our Day of Coordinator and I am so happy we found her! She is so sweet, thoughtful and I thoroughly enjoyed every call, email and meeting I had with her. She is very organized, responsive and she was always asking the right questions and made sure we had everything covered before the big day. On the day of our wedding, Elise and her husband Mike made sure everything was set up how we had discussed and she made it look beautiful. They made the day go by without any bumps and we seriously owe it to them. Also, our family and friends mentioned how friendly there were so that made me happy to hear! They really did an amazing job and I would highly recommend hiring them!

    Where do I even start? If I could give 10 stars for Brannan Events I would in a heartbeat! Elise and Michael were hands down the reason why my husband and my wedding was a huge hit and ran FLAWLESSLY. From the moment we got engaged, I knew there was absolutely no way we could plan our wedding alone...and when I found Elise, I knew she would be the first and only coordinator I’d meet with. Elise’s calming nature, bubbly personlity, and years of experience in the Wedding industry immeditely sealed the deal. My husband and I got hitched at Ravenswood Historical Site in Livermore, CA. We signed on with Elise for the month-of coordination, and let me tell you, she was incredible the whole way through!

    During the month of coordination, Elise was there for us 110%. She answered any and all questions that came to mind, and her responses were immediate. When we asked about using different vendors, Elise sent us more than enough options, (well before our wedding), willing and ready to reach out and give a hand wherever need be. Not only did she go with me to finalize the last minute details and decisions with my vendors, she also helped me make some really tough decisions when I was stuck and I’m so thankful for that!

    On our Wedding day, I didn’t feel stressed one bit, which I feel is rare given how many brides I’ve talked to this past year. I felt happy, relaxed, and very excited! Looking back, I immediately recognize Elise for all of that, including the absolute success of our wedding. All her hard work, support and comfort leading up to and during our wedding spoke volumes. I still have guests telling me how fun our wedding was, and how beautiful everything turned out. I cannot tell everyone how much it means to have someone by your side for YOU on the most special day of your life. Elise was that for us. She had our backs leading up to our wedding, on the day of, and even after. She provided to us so much more than I can even put into words on this review!

    I hired Elise as our Day of Coordinator. Elise is so kind and thoughtful, it was like working with a friend I'd known much longer. She's organized, detailed, and always responsive. I had some sporadic questions and she was always willing to give ideas and advice which was very helpful.
    Elise and Mike made sure the set up of our ceremony/reception went perfectly and kept us all on track through the evening. Everything went off without a hitch and we couldn't have been happier! My friends/family commented on how nice and helpful Elise and Mike were the day of the wedding, which just assured what I already knew. I was so thankful to have someone I trusted on site who knew my vision/plan to set up the details I brought and receive everything from the vendors, it looked perfect.
    I definitely recommend hiring a Day of Coordinator, it alleviates that stress from you and/or putting it on a friend or family member so they can enjoy the day with you. Elise and Mike did an amazing job!

    We had a great day. Everything was perfect. Hard to imagine; I know, but it was, and if we did not get a wedding planner to help us, we would have been stressed out, sweating the small stuff, and running, running, and running some more. We would not have even had a chance to enjoy the day. All of the guests said it was first class, all the way. We had a GREAT time!

    So now the credit. Elise (our wedding planner) found the perfect location, found the perfect food, and she was there running, running, running so we didn't have to. Everything was worth every penny. Simply amazing.

    You should hire this company for your wedding! We chose Elise for our flowers for our wedding this past June and we were thrilled with the end result. Even throughout the planning process, she was extremely helpful, kind, and went above and beyond to assure us that she would do a great job, and she did! We went back and forth through email with pictures and descriptions, and I felt great about everything she was doing for our wedding. She really encouraged participation and input from us, which I greatly appreciated! I was being pretty particular for the type of bouquets I wanted (almost too picky), and she exceeded my expectations for them! She did an amazing job bringing my visions to life and made beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaids. Not only were those amazing, she also made lovely floral arrangements for both our ceremony site and our reception. We went with a coral/cream color combo and she really made it look great with the flower arrangements she put together for our centerpieces and other tables. Super classy, elegant and stunning! I could go on much longer about how awesome she is and what a wonderful job she did! She even battled a major traffic backup on her way to the wedding, and still got everything looking amazing on time! Definitely go with Brannan Events and Floral Design for all your floral, arrangement, and planning needs for your wedding. Seriously, you will be so pleased! Thank you Elise, you rock!!!

    We absolutely couldn't have pulled off our wedding without Brannan Events! Elise was instrumental from beginning to end, from helping us craft our initial vision, to executing every last beautiful detail! Our day was chock-full of complicated logistics (for one, the sky dumped buckets of rain on us!), but Elise was the image of composure and professionalism, putting us all at ease. We had the most beautiful, UNFORGETTABLE day thanks to Elise's expertise!
