Nirosha P. Sent on 04/14/2024Elizabeth is a GEM & has our highest reccomendation!
Elizabeth is truly a GEM & has my highest recommendation! We picked her full service package and realized very quickly that she truly loves her work, which helps her excel in it in all the best ways! I only wish she could be available all over the country to help my family & friends plan their weddings in far away states etc!
I'm typically a tough critic, and I still felt that she was the perfect mix of the highest professionalism, reliability, & communication standards while also being so down to earth, welcoming, fun, easy to work with, kind, & caring to the point where she felt like a true friend to us & our family!
As a person who is detail oriented and very organized myself, I truly appreciated her incredible organization, attention to detail, well designed charts/excel sheets/planning tools, and her enthusiastic adaptability/eagerness to accept any challenge since we were doing a Sri Lankan-American (multi-cultural) wedding which most people are not familiar with. Even when we had some hiccups with Sri Lankan plans that were out of anyone's control, she remained so calm, positive, and was an excellent problem solver to find a way to get everything done well!
I can't say enough positive things about Elizabeth! Working with her was so delightful that I'm already thinking we should have a vow renewal ceremony in the future IF Elizabeth is available to be the planner! :D We received numerous compliments about our wedding and had many friends & family approach us saying our wedding planner seemed so excellent as well!
Thank you so much Elizabeth and EKS Weddings & Events; we are so grateful that we found you!!EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you for your kind words. You are amazing! I loved getting to work with you and your family. Such a special day! -

Beyond grateful!!
Elizabeth was the best wedding planner we could have had! Her energy and attitude made the entire process stress free, fun, and seemingly simple (which we all know weddings are NOT simple!). She had everything taken care of, all the time, with not a worry in the world. I can't imagine not having her with us throughout our wedding planning. Forever indebted!!!EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
Yay! Thank you so much for your kind words. Your wedding day was beautiful and I loved getting to assist in bringing your vision to life. -

You need to hire Elizabeth for your wedding or event! My husband and I started planning our wedding in Summer 2022 and Elizabeth was our first hire. She made the whole process a breeze for our Fall 2023 wedding.
We paid for her full-service planning, and it is literally worth every penny. She gave us a year’s worth of peace of mind and guided us through every step of the planning process. She gathered vendor options, came to all our vendor appointments, and was ‘on-it’ all the time. Every time a vendor would ask us a question, we’d turn to Elizabeth and she’d be there with her pink binder and the answer or a recommendation.
Elizabeth's meticulous month-by-month planning approach was a game-changer. It made the whole process feel manageable and never overwhelming. As our wedding month approached, wedding nerves kicked in, but she was the source of calm and always gave us confidence that we were right on schedule.
Our fall-themed wedding was nothing short of magical, thanks to Elizabeth's keen eye for detail. She knew exactly which flowers and colors would bring our vision to life, and many guests commented on how cohesive the design was.
Elizabeth really was a pivotal part of making our wedding day the beautiful, memorable, and seamless event it was. We are forever grateful for her dedication, expertise, and the personal touch she brought to our special day. We highly recommend Elizabeth to any couple planning their wedding. In fact, we already did recommend her, and she’s planning our friend’s wedding in Summer 2024!EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much! You were both so amazing to work with. I loved getting to play a role in making your wedding day come together. -

We would highly recommend Elizabeth to anybody looking for a wedding planner. She was extremely helpful, attentive, communicative and organised with a large attention to detail. She guided us through the entire process from a year out and took care of everything on the day of the wedding.
She took soo much stress out of the whole process which allowed is to just enjoy the whole day - we could not have done it without her
A+++++++++++++++++++++++, would highly recommend, definitely give her a call!EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
Yay! Thank you so much. You were both amazing to work with and your wedding turned out absolutely beautiful! -

I cannot even count the number of times during the planning process (and also during the wedding itself!) my husband and I said things like “I am so glad we have Elizabeth!” Especially on the day of, it was wonderful knowing that we could trust her to make decisions and have everything under control. We loved that even though we only hired her for month-of planning, she was an incredible resource through the entire process.EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
I am so happy reading this! You are both amazing and I loved working with you both. Such an awesome couple! -

Dianne Sent on 07/09/2023One of Our Best Decisions Ever
After reading positive reviews of EKS Weddings and Events, we scheduled a meeting with owner and lead planner Elizabeth Klespies to talk about our 50th anniversary celebration. Within the first 15 minutes, we knew our event would be in talented, capable hands. She came armed with her color-coded planner and a zipper pouch of pens and pencils. Her attention was riveted on our every response to her probing questions regarding what we wanted our event to be. Clearly she was extremely organized and obviously she cared. We couldn’t sign the contract fast enough, so no one else could book her for our date. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
We cannot say enough about the magic Elizabeth performed to make our celebration, in the words of many of our guests, “the best event I’ve ever attended.” Her monthly reminder lists were invaluable in keeping us on track. She was absolutely unflappable and completely calm, even when we made major changes, like the time of the event and the venue. She just congenially accommodated our requests and “fixed” everything we had disrupted. She truly wanted this to be our dream event.
Some of the best elements of the celebration would not have been possible without Elizabeth’s guidance and assistance. She has such an extensive knowledge of talent in the Atlanta area that when we asked at a fairly late date to have a caricaturist and a living statue, she simply made it happen. She was also an effective advocate for us in persuading the venue to ease some of their policies to permit one of our special requests.
On the day of our main event, Elizabeth and her assistant Kat absolutely transformed the blank slate of the ballroom into an exquisite event space in what seemed a very short time. Then we were able to see how all the choices and decisions she helped us make over the previous months came together with her talent to create exactly the look we had wanted. The entire evening went off flawlessly thanks to Elizabeth’s talent and skills.
At the end of the event, while we were saying goodbye to our guests, Elizabeth and Kat distributed centerpieces to our delighted guests, rounded up all the items that were rented, and packed up our personal items. By the time we thought to inquire about our things, they had been safely stored in our hotel room.
If you would like to hire a planner who will help you bring your vision to life and give you peace of mind to enjoy your special day while she takes care of the details, you cannot make a better choice than Elizabeth Klespies and EKS.EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much! This was wonderful to read. You are such wonderful people and I loved getting the chance to work with you. -

I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough! From start to finish, she made this entire process so seamless and easy. She sent us bulleted ‘to-do’ lists each month that made getting things done so much less overwhelming. She was amazing at finding vendors that were available and in our price range, taking all the stress out of the research. She totally understood our vision and helped us curate our perfect day. Day of, her and her assistant were so on top of the timing and schedule and if anything went wrong, I never heard about it and Elizabeth handled it fabulously. It took all of the stress and anxiety out of the day and just made it about the two of us having the best day ever. Me and my husband talked repeatedly about what a value she brought to this whole process and that it was by far the best decision we made around our day!!!!EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
YAY! You were both so much fun to work with and your wedding day was a blast. Thank you so much for your kind words. -

Molly B. Sent on 04/18/2023The most amazing person to work with!
Elizabeth was absolutely incredible to work with and truly made our day go off without any issues (even with 20mph winds at our outdoor ceremony)! She was wonderful to work with- responsive, professional, and very knowledgeable. We had her as our month/day of coordinator and even throughout the beginning of our planning process she helped us out with vendor recommendations and small detail questions. Elizabeth and her assistant, Kat, had an answer to every question we had, before we even finished asking them. We cannot recommend her enough!!!EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you for all of your kind words! You are both awesome people and I loved getting to work with you in executing your wedding day. -

We cannot say enough great things about Elizabeth. She was she there for us every step of the way. Not only did she assist with every aspect of wedding planning (we met Elizabeth about a month after our engagement), but also ran a perfectly tight ship day leading up to the wedding and day of. She coordinated all our vendors so professionally, and expressed expectations clearly to make sure our vision came to life. She not only made sure everything ran smoothly day-of, but it made it possible for us to truly enjoy the day without us having to worry about any details. We could not have done it without her! Things ran so smoothly, and we were able to enjoy our day and truly be in the moment. We love Elizabeth so much!!EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! Reading this made my day. You were both so amazing to work with and the wedding was beautiful! -

Amanda A. Sent on 09/27/2022One of a kind & best in the business!
Elizabeth is truly the best. Elizabeth was our full-service planner for our wedding at the Fernbank Museum in September 2022, and working with her firm, EKS Weddings and Events, was the single best decision of our entire planning process. We did not hire Elizabeth on a whim; I spoke with many potential planners and Elizabeth really stood out. From our first conversation, Elizabeth was professional, organized, and detail-oriented.
When we first got engaged, I actually did not want a full-service planner and was instead leaning towards hiring a month-of-coordinator. My partner and I both have planning experience, and we wanted our wedding to perfectly represent us. Before working with Elizabeth, we thought hiring a full-service planner meant we’d be “giving up control” of planning. In reality, working with Elizabeth allowed us to host a perfect wedding while still enjoying the planning process. We were able to focus on the fun aspects, like tastings and décor, while she handled the not-so-fun parts, like organizing fine-print contracts and budgeting.
A great vendor team is critical to any wedding’s success, and Elizabeth was the best leader. She has amazing industry connections and very high standards, so her recommendations saved us from extra stress and kept us on budget. Elizabeth’s industry reputation is stellar, and this became clear as we approached our wedding day. Several different vendors, including ones Elizabeth had never worked with before, raved about her organization and attention to detail. One vendor even said we were lucky to have the best planner in Atlanta, and we couldn’t agree more.
Elizabeth went above and beyond for us. Like any good planner, she organized our budget, handled vendor communications, and kept us on task with consistent updates. But Elizabeth did so much more; when we realized our original venue (which we booked prior to hiring Elizabeth) could not meet our needs, she found us something even better. When Elizabeth saw that I was getting overwhelmed with the “little detail” decisions like place-cards and ceremony programs, she suggested an in-person meeting and worked through it with me. She even helped DIY a few personal touches, which is something we are so grateful for. My now husband and I have said, “Thank God for Elizabeth” more times than we can count during the past 18 months.
Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be and more, and we have Elizabeth to thank for that. Elizbeth and her awesome assistant Kat handled everything the day-of, allowing everyone else to simply enjoy the day. Many guests have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and that’s a testament to Elizabeth’s hard work, organization, and thoughtfulness. Elizabeth is one of a kind and the best in the business. We are forever grateful to her and give her our very highest recommendation.

I don't even know where to begin to explain how great it was to work with Elizabeth. From the very beginning, Elizabeth made everything fun and enjoyable. The entire planning process was smooth and stress-free. I do not know how we would have survived the planning process without her. 10/5 stars highly recommend choosing Elizabeth as your wedding planner. She will not disappoint. We're so thankful for her and for making our day everything we wanted and more!EKS Weddings and Events's reply:
Oh my goodness, you are such great people and I loved getting to work with you this past year. Your day was beautiful and fun. Everything that a wedding should be.
