    Utter perfection

    Michelle and her team are absolutely incredible and I would recommend them 1000 times over. We began working with Michelle about a year and a half before our wedding and she immediately understood our vibe and the type of wedding we wanted to have. This not only made the entire wedding planning process seamless from beginning to end, it also resulted in our wedding being truly perfect in every possible way. I don’t think I can express enough how well Michelle understood the assignment… it was EXACTLY what we wanted. Actually, no, it was far better than what we imagined. Michelle somehow has the requisite type-a personality to be the boss planner that she is while also being extremely chill and so genuinely patient and kind. She actually listens to what her clients want while also knowing when to pushback and how to offer her own guidance and advice without being domineering. She has impeccable taste, she is extremely organized and responsive, she is really everything I could have ever wanted in a planner. Hiring Michelle was the single best decision we made when it comes to our wedding (aside from deciding to marry each other to begin with) and we are beyond grateful. We love Michelle!!!!!!! Hire her immediately!!!!

    Exceptional in every way

    When I reflect on my wedding planning process and wedding day, I think of how grateful and appreciative I am to have worked with Michelle and Ellamae Productions. The entire process completely exceeded my expectations – Michelle’s warmth, professionalism, and efficiency were constantly above and beyond. From the wedding planning process to the day of, I knew we were in the best of hands and that I could fully trust Ellamae Productions to execute my vision and troubleshoot any difficulties before I even became aware of them.

    Planning a wedding during Covid could have been extremely stressful, but Michelle has a special way of bringing calmness to every situation. I truly believe I was at peace leading up to my wedding day and throughout the day because of my trust in Michelle. I never once felt an ounce of stress, confusion, or hesitation that Michelle didn’t have literally everything covered. I’m aware that I’m capable of being a difficult client due to my expectations, organization, and eagerness to plan ahead, but was pleasantly surprised to learn that Michelle was always two steps ahead of me :)

    I am forever grateful to Michelle for being alongside me every step of the way from venue selection, design, coordinating guests and vendors, and executing a wedding that felt so customized and special to my partner and I. If you are even remotely thinking of hiring help for your big day, I cannot recommend Ellamae Productions enough!!

    Ellamae Saved The Day!

    Simply put, we wouldn't have had a wedding without Ellamae Productions. A destination wedding in Scotland is an ambitious feat... but from the start Michelle was outstanding. It's not just her attention to detail, considerate creativity and wealth of experience... but also her level of commitment is second to none. When our initial wedding plans were derailed by the Coronavirus pandemic, Michelle went above and beyond to help us create a new, more intimate experience. She handled all the headaches with vendors and helped us evaluate the options available, always helping us to see the hope and beauty in the situation. We ended up having the most magical wedding we could have imagined - thanks to Michelle and Ellamae Productions. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Absolute pleasure!

    Michelle and her team were a pleasure to work with. We threw a lot of unique challenges her way, combining traditional wedding ceremony elements with very untraditional reception activities and catering.

    She gracefully navigated the preferences of all involved parties and took on every change we threw at her without blinking. She was focused, organized, and above all, positive. As a bride, I always looked forward to seeing her and working with her and left every meeting or call feeling more confident and excited about our wedding day.

    Our Micro Wedding was a DREAM!

    Michelle was with us from day one of planning our large wedding and she was there through our process of reorienting in the wake of COVID to hosting a small, intimate wedding with just our families. I cannot emphasize enough what it meant to us to have her event planning expertise throughout the entire process. She was thorough in each of our meetings to ensure our vendors were communicating with us properly, and she made sure each detail was tended to. Her attention to detail was accompanied by such kindness and a clear concern for our wellbeing as a couple as we navigated these unprecedented times. She also took great initiative in connecting with our officiant, bartender, and others to see that everyone felt comfortable and was on the same page.

    At our small wedding, from the rehearsal to cleanup, Michelle went the extra mile in taking care of music, managing food staff, communicating COVID safety protocols, and making sure everything was in the right place at the right time. Our families were blown away by her dedication and expertise.

    Oh, and the designs! She was a close confidant in selecting our place settings and she even did our floral arrangements. What really made the designs special was that Michelle took the time to get to know us as a couple, from the music we like, to our personalities... this helped her put touches on the decor that felt so authentic to us.

    The best part of all of this, is we anticipate partnering with Michelle again next year when we are (hopefully) post-COVID and able to have a large party with family and friends who were not able to travel out this year. We couldn't imagine collaborating with a better team than Ellamae Productions. Please do yourself a favor and request their services the next time you have an event! We know we will.

    Professional and hope to work with her again!

    Ellamae Productions was the best to work with! Being the creative director of a design and marketing studio, we had the pleasure of working with Michelle, owner of Ellamae Productions, on both her company's website as well as one of her client's events. Her eye for design made our job extremely easy! She was amazing to work with and very organized and clear regarding everything she and her clients needed. Not only was she professional and direct, but she was also quick to reply to all communications regarding project details and contracts. Her previous experience planning A-list events shines through and definitely presents her professionalism and care within the industry down to every detail; exactly what I would suspect every couple is after when deciding on a planner. If you are looking for a planner for one of the most important days of your life, don't skimp on talent. Hire Ellamae Productions - you won't be disappointed!

    Simply Perfect

    You cannot go wrong when hiring Ellamae Productions. Michelle is a fantastic coordinator with outstanding professionalism, organization, collaboration, and most importantly a personable approach.

    My wife and I felt very at peace knowing she was running the show. It made the final month of wedding planning a breeze when it could have been a hair pulling nightmare of to-dos.

    She was always very responsive and courteous making sure everything was checked and scheduling routine meetings (one of which lasted several hours) in order to ensure no stone was unturned.

    Words cannot fully describe how much she helped make our day special and full of joy after nearly 2 years of issues (COVID). If you want to have an amazing experience and not have to worry about all of the little details that go into wedding planning I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Ellamae Productions as they will not steer you wrong.

    Thanks to Michelle and Christina for being apart of our special day and for all of the hard work you put in! It meant the world to us!

    Above and Beyond

    Michelle is the best wedding planner and event host we had the pleasure of working with. We hired her to help plan and coordinate our wedding and we got more than what we were expecting. From the smallest detail to the logistics Michelle was an assist through it all. I cannot recommend her enough. Michelle is both personable, experienced and well-connect. She will be with you ever step of the way for the planning to execution. Her knowledge and expertise both invaluable and well worth the invest for any special occasion.

    Will make your special day perfect!

    Words cannot express how thankful my husband and I were for Michelle during our wedding planning process. Her friendliness and likability is equal to her absolute and unwavering professionalism. There is no way we could have planned a COVID-19 compliant micro-wedding in less than two months without her and her creative solutions to all the hurdles we encountered. Only a few days before the wedding, our outdoor wedding forecast went from sunny to downpour rain! Thankfully, Michelle worked quickly and diligently with her network of event vendors (all of which were absolutely incredible) to make sure we and all our guests were dry for our special day. Knowing Michelle was on top of everything allowed me and my husband to really enjoy the day together and with our guests. She's a ten out of ten! Would highly recommend to everyone getting married!!!!!
