5 stars for EVL events!
We are SOOOO happy and thrilled to have worked with Sam Nelson and her team… shout out to Jenna who assisted Sam in so many ways. It was a true privilege. Our wedding was two months ago and we’re still thinking about it. We did the full planning package and it was worth every penny. We knew from our first onboarding call that they were the best. Sam is so attentive to every detail, sweet, creative, and superb at communicating. Good communication can be hard to find in the wedding industry, but Sam is the exception. She was always fast to respond and acknowledge our calls, messages, and emails throughout the whole planning process. They were also budget conscious and respected our vision.
These ladies are fierce and outstanding at what they do, and we could not imagine doing our wedding without them. They pulled off an amazing weekend for us. They work with the best vendors that Buffalo has to offer. She also has good connections in the wedding industry to get you an “in” with whatever you may need. The time and work they take off your plate is priceless.
The day and weekend ran so smoothly. We were truly able to sit back and enjoy our most important day. The flow was SPOT ON. Every moment was curated so beautifully and seamlessly. Sam has a wonderful eye and you can trust that she will pull off a beautiful outcome with her staging, tablescapes, and execution. Her designs are tasteful with a touch of whimsy. She also keeps up with the latest trends, so you can be assured that she will bring modern and up-to-date elements to your special day. They were there for us in every way possible; holding our hand every step of the way… literally held our hands and escorted us everywhere we needed to be that day. Many accolades to EVL Events! We love them so much and can’t thank them enough for making all our dreams come true and exceeding them. -

I had the pleasure of working with the EVL events for my Indian/Western wedding. Sam, the owner and head planner, and the rest of her team exceeded my expectations regarding dedication and expertise. We had a multi-day wedding to plan, and EVLs made everything pull together so beautifully and seamlessly.
From our first meeting, Sam put us at ease with their warm and friendly nature. She listened attentively to our vision, desires, and dreams for the perfect wedding and transformed them into a reality that surpassed anything we could have imagined. Her attention to detail was awe-inspiring, and every aspect of the planning process was flawlessly executed. Sam was also so kind to work meetings outside her usual business hours, given the highly demanding work schedules of me and my husband.
Sam’s extensive network of top-notch vendors was an invaluable asset. She helped curate a dream team of talented professionals who shared their passion for perfection and worked harmoniously to bring our vision to life. Every element was meticulously curated and executed with finesse, from the breathtaking floral arrangements to the scrumptious delicacies.
One of the many qualities that genuinely set EVL events apart was their ability to anticipate and address any challenges. They were proactive, resourceful, and incredibly organized, ensuring every minute detail was cared for seamlessly. Sam’s ability to navigate through unforeseen circumstances with grace and ease kept our stress levels low, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey towards our special day.
If you're searching for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your dreams come true, look no further. EVL Events has an innate ability to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. Their passion, creativity, and unwavering commitment to excellence are truly unmatched. Working with them was an absolute joy, and I will forever be grateful for their role in making our wedding day a truly magical affair. Thank you! -

Amazing experience - start to finish!
Sam and her team made our big day such a dream! Everything flowed so smoothly and on time - which was very important to us! I cannot stress how crucial their services were. Thanks to Sam taking care of all the details, I was able to sit back and enjoy every minute of my wedding day. 10/10!! -

Eric W. Sent on 08/26/2022Thank You Kennedy and EVL Events!
Kennedy Rosario from EVL Events was absolutely amazing! My now-wife, Erin, and I originally didn't expect to hire a wedding planner/coordinator. After a few weeks Erin quickly realized it would be crazy not to have one. Getting set up with Kennedy was the best possible thing that could have happened. She made sure we could enjoy the process of planning by providing a great reference list of to-dos, recommended deadlines, and checking in with us periodically. These deadlines enabled us to relax and not feel as though we were "too late!", or falling behind during the planning process. The day of the wedding Kennedy was equally, or possibly even more valuable/awesome. She facilitated the day as smoothly as one could imagine, and with great attention to the details most important to us. We literally had the best day of our lives and Kennedy had a huge part to do with making it happen. Thank you Kennedy! -

Aileen B. Sent on 07/11/2022Amazing experience with EVL Events!!
EVL Events was a wonderful support for my husband and I as we navigated a destination wedding with 5 kids. I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything - Sam and her team provided top-notch vendor recommendations, pre-wedding and "day of" support, and the wedding went off without a hitch. HIGHLY recommend this exemplary team. -

Stephanie K. Sent on 01/06/2023EVL Events is the Dream Team
Sam Nelson & her team is hands-down one of the best wedding planners in Western NY! I got married at the Annex on 6/17/22 and without EVL Event's talent and vision, planning from Dallas, Texas would've been impossible. The proof is in the pictures - but the joy of the day can be linked back to Sam's organization, vendor connections, strong communication skills, and heart of gold. 10/10, I could not recommend EVL Event enough!
P.S. - Did I mention that EVL Event's incredible work for our wedding is getting us PUBLISHED IN THE KNOT?!? It's truly a dream come true. -

Kalie L. Sent on 06/17/2022The best of the best!
Sam and the whole EVL team were crucial in planning our Buffalo wedding from Minnesota throughout the pandemic. Not only did Sam work with us one on one to connect us with top vendors in Buffalo, but she was along for the ride (including a postponement!) in helping us finalize all the details to give me the wedding of my dreams.
I cannot thank EVL Events enough for taking the stress of planning a wedding remotely off my plate and helping to make this such a wonderful process! -

Skyler W. Sent on 07/12/2022Sam is the best of the best! Book her now!
I cannot rave about Sam and EVL Events enough! Sam and her team are the best of the best and execute every detail with excellence. Our day went flawless and that could not have happened without Sam’s planning skills. Every detail was accounted for and every guest and other vendor there could not stop talking about how amazing Sam was. She is well known and respected by all vendors in the area which definitely helps you secure the vendors you are looking for. Sam even spent several days looking for the exact napkin color I wanted because she values her clients and cares about your wedding as much as you do.
She made the planning process a breeze and so much fun. Sam became a dear friend in the process and someone I am so sad to not be able to email every day haha! I would plan a wedding a million times over with Sam if I could. We are forever thankful for EVL events. So if you’re thinking about going with Sam, do it NOW, I promise you will be impressed a thousand times over. -

I had the pleasure of working with Sam over the last 2.5 years as a result of our wedding getting postponed in 2020 due to Covid 19. Sam was amazing during the planning process - depending on the planning option you choose, she does the research, sends you a list of recommended vendors for you to choose from, for the month leading up to the wedding she is incredibly attentive and responsive and then the week leading up, she knows exactly what to do and say to help ease whatever anxiety or concerns you may have as your big day quickly approaches. I had a absolute wonderful time working with Sam and I totally recommend her and her team. Parting ways after our wedding is similar to a bad breakup after a 2.5 year relationship! What will I do now without her!! LOL Sam - I will greatly miss working with you. Thank you for making our day so special. -

Audrey M. Sent on 10/04/2021Excellent Wedding Coordinator
EVL Events was just superb in helping us with the recent wedding of our daughter. Every detail was covered in a professional and friendly manner and Sam went over and above in dealing with a difficult vendor. Sam's recommendations for vendors proved to be a great asset - they were all high quality and extremely easy to work with. Her demeanor is calm and cool in stressful times and her team was wonderful the day of the wedding. We were extremely lucky to have her help us through such an important day and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering a wedding coordinator.
