    Amazing Day thanks to EABD!

    When starting the process of planning my daughters wedding I questioned the need for a wedding planner, but shortly into the process realized how invaluable this service is. Our lead planner Danyle was amazing to work with! She checked in with us regularly, kept us on pace and provided us with all the assistance we wanted, but never overstepped. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Danyle communicated with and coordinated all the vendors, provided a detailed timeline for everything and everyone so that when our wedding day arrived everything went smoothly with little stress. Things truly could not have gone more smoothly and I most definitely credit that to Danyle and her EABD team. Thank you for a wonderful event!

    Amazing service! I would highly recommend EABD to any bride!

    Danyle and her team were absolutely amazing! Danyle made my vision come to life even better than I could have imagined. EABD made the whole planning process feel effortless and kept me feeling stress-free and organized through every step of the way. I would highly recommend using EABD as they were extremely responsive, personable, and professional in planning and executing our special day! No matter what time of day, Danyle was always just a text or call away and I am forever grateful to have felt so supported from our first phone call up until the big day. Kasey was also incredible in making sure our big day ran smoothly from start to finish! Huge Thank you to Danyle, Kasey, & the EABD team!

    Amazing!!!

    I had the most amazing experience with EABD! Sam was my lead wedding planner. She and her team went above and beyond. If you were able to see my wedding you would agree too. I’m so happy to have found her. If you choose her as your planner you won’t regret it. 10/10!!!

    Dream Team!

    From the moment we began working with our team at Elegant Affairs, we knew we were in good hands and they exceeded our every expectation. They turned our vision into a breathtaking reality and all details were executed with precision. The level of professionalism displayed by the team was outstanding as well. They were always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and ensuring everything ran seamlessly. On our special day, any issues with vendors were taken care of without us even knowing there was a problem to begin with, and that really speaks to their dedication to ensuring our big day took place without a hitch! Their communication was also unparalleled, as they were responsive, attentive, and proactive in keeping us informed throughout the entire planning process. Any concerns or questions we had were promptly addressed, and they went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. Their passion and commitment to delivering excellence truly sets them apart and our wedding was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. These planners are a dream team and if you are looking for an incredible, informed, and effective team to organize and support you on your special day, look no further. Future you will thank you, trust me !! Special thanks to Danyle, Sam, Kayla, and Kadey. You guys are the dream team and we will forever be grateful for your efforts before, during, and after the best night of our lives.

    Look no further, this is the team you want!

    Danyle and her team exceeded our very high expectations. Everything was taken care of for us in manner where we both felt very in the loop and included in decisions, but also blissfully unaware of all the moving parts happening around us so we could enjoy our day. Everyone on the team is polite, professional, and truly a joy to work with. They made a fun event even better, and I cannot sing there praises loud enough! Top marks all around! This is who you want for your wedding!

    Wedding Planner Perfection

    I can’t even begin to describe how lucky I am to have had Riley and the whole elegant affairs by design team plan my wedding. Riley was with me every step of the process which meant the world to me with my mom not alive anymore. I was able to work through every planning and design piece with Riley and not only have an amazing planner but now a best friend. The team was there and made sure my rehearsal dinner, wedding and post wedding brunch were perfect. As an extreme type A personality, knowing I had EABD taking care of everything the whole wedding weekend removed all stress. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further than Riley and the whole EABD team. You ladies made my wedding the wedding of my dreams.

    I loooove EABD !!!!!

    The best thing I ever did was hire Riley and her team for my wedding!!! I was so worried about having a destination wedding in the Virgin Islands and Riley and Samantha were so great at planning EVERYTHING and dealing with unresponsive vendors and all the island locals who run on “island time”. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and stress free and I’m so sad it’s over because I feel like Riley and Samantha were like my best friends throughout the whole process and I miss complaining about all the family drama to them. And even though the tide was high on the beach for the ceremony, Riley STILL made it work since my fiancé wanted it on the beach so badly and I was so impressed that Riley pulled it off. I will forever be grateful for Riley and Samantha for making our wedding such a special, fun, once in a lifetime event!

    The best!

    Riley and her team were the most phenomenal and incredible people to work with!!! I would recommend them 12/10 times to anyone getting married or needing their services. I had no idea what I wanted or how a wedding day was supposed to look (obviously), but Riley and her team took on every task with such grace and serious talent. Her design team is BEYOND IMPRESSIVE. Riley is the kindest human. She communicated so well, she was always available, she scheduled the necessary meetings, coordinated with vendors, ensured all the aesthetics came together, and so much more. She went above and beyond to ensure it was the most perfect day… AND IT WAS!!! She was available months and months beforehand, but totally kicked it into gear during the weeks leading up to my big day. She was constantly checking in to make sure things were going smoothly and to let me know she had confirmed and double confirmed with all of my vendors. There was truly no stress for myself or my wedding party thanks to Riley and her team. They took on any and every task I needed them to and even ones I didn't know existed or that I needed :) I can't say it enough…. They are a talented, kind, and truly exceptional team. I highly recommend!!!

    The most amazing team!

    Where do I even begin! We hired Riley and her team at Elegant Affairs by Design for month of coordination and it was one of THE BEST wedding decisions we made. After our first call we knew that our event would be in good hands. It was so clear that they love what they do and take pride in helping you create the wedding of your dreams. Every call felt like I was talking with a close friend, which made wedding planning nearly stress-free. Any hiccup that may have occurred during the planning process was resolved quickly and professionally which was so helpful. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding day knowing that each detail was being cared for.
    Something that stuck out to me throughout the wedding planning process was how much vendors LOVE the EABD team. They would be thrilled to know we were working with Riley and emphasized that we were going to have the most perfect wedding with her help.
    The kindness and care at EABD doesn’t go unnoticed. My bridesmaids who met Riley all said they now have EABD at the top of their future “wedding must-have” lists. :)

    Fantastic experience with Elegant affairs by Design!

    Highly recommend working with Elegant Affairs by Design for your wedding. Samantha was absolutely amazing through out the entire wedding planning process and her coordinating was flawless. There were so many moments along the way that we were so grateful for Samantha's guidance. She was so willing to go above and beyond for us in everyway. I will be forever thankful that she shared all of her knowledge with us and kept us on track! The wedding day was absolutely beautiful and she took care of all of the details that day with ease. Kayla and Kadey the day of the wedding were amazing as well. Hiring Samantha at Elegant Affairs by Design for our wedding was the best decision we made. We could not thank her enough for making our big day so special!

    Elegant Affairs by Design's reply:

    Thank you for sharing your experience, Jacqueline! Your day was pure magic. We loved being a part of your special day!

    Truly amazing experience!!

    I don't have enough words to express by gratitude to EABD for all of their hard work and professionalism regarding my daughter's wedding. The open communication we had with Samantha was amazing!! Although my daughter and I had already signed contracts with the venue, DJ, Florist, Photographer, Videographer and Transportation, Samantha took over communication as the day got closer so that we didn't have to. On the day of the weeding, Samantha did have a few simple questions and she came to me so my daughter could enjoy her day. I also enjoyed the day because I was so confident with Samantha and her assistant that I knew they had everything under total control. If you are looking for a wedding planner or a month of coordinator, look no further!!! You will not be disappointed and it will be the best money you spend on your wedding!

    Book them immediately!!

    Hiring Riley and Samantha for month of coordination was by far the best decision we made for our entire wedding! Not only are they the sweetest women, but they also are incredible at what they do. They are so connected to the wedding scene in the Tampa area, and did such a good job helping us bring our vision to life and advocating for us with other vendors when we needed it. The day of, we knew we could totally relax because we were in such good hands with them. Their response time to all of our questions was amazingly fast, and we felt like we got way more than our money’s worth from how they helped leading up to the wedding and the wedding weekend. On top of everything, their team is so fun to have around the day of. One of the funnest moments of the reception was pulling Riley onto the dance floor to celebrate all of our hard work together.

    The BEST wedding planner ever!!

    There's not enough I can say about Riley and her team at EABD. We took a chance booking someone unknown and couldn't have been happier! Riley was with us every step of the way, through ups and downs, and unfortunately witnessed ALL the family drama and yet she made sure that no matter what- everything went perfect for my fiancee and I. She communicates effectively, is keen to detail, organized and all around badass!!! There's no way that our wedding could have been executed as well as it was without Riley. She felt like family throughout our entire experience and became family by the end of the night. We owe many many thanks (and our hangover) to Riley!!

    Couldn't have dreamed of a better planner

    Riley, Danyle and Sam were beyond words fantastic. The moment we hired Elegant Affairs by Design, I (a very type A bride with spreadsheets upon spreadsheets) immediately felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. They constantly checked in on me, offered help, kept my head on straight and, above all, respected my husband and I's wedding vision (and helped to execute it flawlessly!). We are so, so thankful for their team for helping create the wedding of our dreams!

    Amazing Month of Coordination

    Samantha was an absolutely amazing wedding planner. I got the month of coordination package and she was always available in the months leading up to the wedding via text or call for any questions we had. She took care of so many little details when it came to timeline, vendor contracts, and venue floor plan!
    Kadey was also there during our wedding day to assist Sam in setting up. She was going back and forth between spaces making sure every detail was executed perfectly. I couldn’t have done it without Sam and Kadey and highly recommend them!

    Andres & Elder Wedding

    Riley and the EABD team are INCREDIBLE! Hands down the best in Tampa area and honestly Florida. I have nothing but amazing things to say about them. 11/10 recommend. They are just that great!

    When I first started planning my wedding, our first venue got sold due to the pandemic. I thought my dream wedding was not happening because it was going to take a lot to move things around and find vendors and the perfect venue. But Riley was there every step of the way making sure my vision came to life. From recommending vendors, keeping me on schedule, being so flexible with planning a wedding virtually due to pandemic and distance and going above and beyond that not only the day of the wedding but pretty much throughout our 2 year planning journey... I couldn't have picked a better team to help me plan our fairytale wedding. Riley and Samantha were a pleasure to work and I hope we continue to grow the friendship we developed. I cannot wait to plan more milestone events with these girls. They promise and deliver and I couldn't be more happy to have had them as part of my vendor team. Just AMAZING overall! Don't think twice and contact them, they will make your dream wedding come true!

    EABD was spectacular!

    Riley and her team at EABD were absolutely incredible, and I cannot imagine our wedding without them! It really was a dream come true. Through the planning process, Riley was very responsive to emails, calls, and texts. She always made sure we had peace of mind with where we were at in the timeline. Riley exceeded my expectations by asking the vendors questions I never would have thought of, taking detailed notes while in vendor meetings, being extremely organized from day 1, and adapting to a new vision when I wanted to change my floral design. I was able to truly relax on our wedding day knowing we were in such good hands. EABD stayed through the whole day ensuring proper clean up of the venue, and Riley made sure I received my guest book, signs, card box, champagne flutes, etc. back after the wedding. My family can't stop talking about how wonderful, genuine, caring, and professional Riley and her team were at the wedding. If you're looking for a wedding planner, I couldn't recommend Riley enough!

    Just perfect.

    Riley and her team at EABD were nothing short of amazing. Riley and her team knew every member of my family’s name. Every request I had, it was completed. Riley kept us within a budget and made our creative venue work. Our day was so magical. Even our pup was thrilled!

    Don’t hesitate - work with EABD now!

    Starting the wedding process, I was able to contact several wedding planners. Out of all of them, Riley was the only one that showed compassion and enthusiasm for not only my wedding ideas, but for wanting to get to know my now husband and I on a personal level. By doing this, it provided a sense of comfortability and security knowing that this team will be helping make decisions for your most important day of your life. Riley and her team were very responsive, were flexible, and provided great options or ideas if I needed it. On top of that, all of them were the sweetest. Hands down, I am so thankful to have worked with EABD. This team brought my ideas to life and made my life so much easier. If you are looking for a wedding planner, I 10000% recommend this team. They are absolutely amazing.

    highly recommend

    I am so glad that we made the right decision to choose them as our wedding coordinators. From the very beginning, they were professional, attentive, and detail-oriented, taking the time to understand exactly what we wanted for our big day. They helped us navigate the planning process with ease, providing helpful suggestions and answering all of our questions along the way. They went above and beyond to make sure that our vision was brought to life, and we are so grateful for all of their hard work. Our wedding was truly perfect. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and caring wedding coordinator.
