Elyse was hands downs worth every penny! She made the planning process smooth and easy. She helped me with every single detail and made sure that I had the wedding of my dreams! We didn't run into a single problem on our wedding day and if there was a problem we had no idea about it because Elyse and her team were there to take care of it! I couldn't recommend her enough! She is the sweetest, most reliable wedding planner you can have! Thank you for all your hard work!

Aww thank you so much, Mandi! This means so much to me and I really appreciate your kind words! I'm so happy you had such a great experience! :)

My experience with Elyse was the best possible.
Elyse is by far the best wedding planner. She went above and beyond for my sons wedding and it was so stunning and absolutely perfect. Elyse and her team are so professional, approachable and respectful. Any and everyone that came into contact them were greeted with a smile and warm welcome.
I would highly recommend Elyse to anyone planning a wedding.

Wonderful experience
Elyse is very responsive and pays close attention to detail. Her vendor recommendations were amazing and totally made our wedding the best! I'm glad that I could text her and her team all my questions and concerns throughout the while process. It helped me feel much more comfortable with all of the vendor contracts and duties along the way. I felt so much relief the month before our wedding knowing we were in good hands. We had an amazing wedding and everything went very well thanks to Elyse, Gracie, and Bella!!

Aww thank you so much, Lauren! I really appreciate your kind words. I absolutely loved working with you, and I'm so happy you had such a great experience! :)

Getting Married on the Central Coast? HIRE ELYSE NOW!
Step 1 Get Engaged. Step 2 Hire Elyse. I cannot stress the importance of hiring a wedding planner. From my first phone call with Elyse I already felt such a relief. She 100% loves her job and it shows. She provided so much knowledge and took all of the guesswork out of planning for me. I honestly was so sad when my wedding was over because I loved getting to know Elyse, she has this amazing energy and makes you feel so at ease. Elyse and her team were absolute rockstars on our wedding day. I’m sure there were things that went wrong or didn’t go as planned and we never knew because her and her team took care of every detail. Throughout the process she was super responsive and organized. Her advice was always on point and I truly would’ve been a mess without her. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable Elyse.
Elyse Events's reply:
AWWW VANESSA! Thank you so much! This review is so sweet and means the world to me. I really appreciate your kind words. I absolutely loved working with you and JT, and I was sad too when your wedding ended! Like I said before, I literally cried multiple times on your wedding day like the true sap I am. Wishing you guys a lifetime of love!

Best Decision of our wedding!
Hiring Elyse was absolutely the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. From the very start, I knew that I was in amazing hands, and she kept us on track throughout our entire journey. Planning a wedding is A LOT of work and can be very stressful, and any time I was feeling like I needed advice, opinions, or most importantly was feeling overwhelmed, one conversation with her fixed all of that. Her taste is amazing, her organization is unmatched, and her ability to execute and problem solve are incredible. I was able to go into my wedding weekend feeling beyond confident that everything would come together perfectly, but most importantly, that I would be able to let go and truly enjoy my wedding day. That's a hard thing to do for someone like me who tends to like to keep control, but I knew that I was in amazing hands with Elyse, and our wedding weekend was absolute perfection. One thing I'll never be able to thank Elyse enough for was handling a HUGE speedbump that arose the day before our wedding. Like, almost having to cancel the wedding HUGE. Within minutes of informing Elyse, she had already problem-solved on our behalf and came up with back up plans with all of our vendors in case they were needed. Fortunately, we were able to still have the wedding of our dreams, but I can't tell you enough how important having a real rockstar of a coordinator is when you're in the middle of a crisis like we were. If you're considering hiring a coordinator/planner, DO IT. If you're considering hiring Elyse and her team (her whole team is amaaaazing), ABSOLUTELY DO IT!!
Elyse Events's reply:
Aww thank you SO MUCH, Robyn! We really appreciate your kind words. This is so sweet and means so much to me and my team! We absolutely LOVED working with you and Ryan, and I am so happy that you had such an amazing experience! :)

The Best There Is!
From the moment I spoke to Elyse on the phone, I knew she was the wedding planner for us! I just got all around good vibes from her calm but professional demeanor. SLO was a destination wedding for my husband and I, as we live in SD. I was intimidated at the thought of planning a destination wedding without seeing/meeting many vendors and materials, along with working full time. Elyse was our saving grace throughout the entire process. Her organization, vision, communication, positivity, and connections within the SLO area made the wedding planning process run SO smoothly! Elyse took my vision and brought it to life. Our wedding was more than we could have ever dreamed of and we owe it to Elyse and her amazing team. 🤍

Elyse is the best!
Elyse gifted my wife and me with the best wedding ever! Seriously could not have asked for a better turnout. She was extremely helpful from the initial meeting and our wedding day literally had ZERO flaws. The amount of friends and family who have asked for Elyse's contact information for future reference is a testament to how amazing she made our special day. Can't thank you enough Elyse, we'll be back in touch when it's time for the renewal party!
Elyse Events's reply:
KEVIN! OMG you and Becca are the absolute sweetest. Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it. I loved working with you two and I CANNOT WAIT for the renewal party! :)

Awesome experience!!!!
I have known Elyse for many years, she has an open mind approach to her events and most importantly really listens to her clients. She is completely prepared and ensures her "team" of vendors is completely advised of timing and layout as well as any last minute changes. This is incredibly helpful and lends itself to great-teamwork the day of a wedding. She is a delight to know and work with. Always calm, cool and collected.
As a wedding professional I am completely aware of all the finite details that require the trained eye of a excellent coordinator. I have a sense of calm and relief when I see Elyse will be our shared clients coordinator on such an incredibly important day...

Incredible coordinator, even better person
Wow where do I even begin?! From day one Elyse went above and beyond to help make our wedding dreams a reality. She is a rockstar at communicating with vendors, organizing wedding timelines, managing setups and putting out last-minute "fires." Her wedding layouts and timelines were honestly works of art (they were so well done and so easy to read). On our wedding day, she helped create a ceremony and reception space more beautiful than we imagined and effortlessly handled every aspect of the day. We are 1000% certain things would not have turned out so well if it was not for Elyse.
Beyond her amazing work ethic, Elyse is also a wonderful human being. Her positive attitude and infectious spirit permeated throughout our wedding. She is so kind to other vendors and does everything she can to make everyone feel appreciated and valued.
Hiring Elyse was one of the best decisions my husband and I made throughout our wedding planning process. She is the best!

Elyse is fantastic!
Elyse was extremely helpful in planning our wedding, as we did our wedding in SLO as a destination from across the country. Elyse was able to be our eyes on the ground and identify exactly what we wanted after just a few short conversations. After deciding on the venues for our ceremony/reception, she was an excellent quarterback in terms of recommending and coordinating all of the vendors to make our experience truly perfect. If you are thinking about getting married in the central coast, Elyse should be the person you start your search with.

Calm under pressure!
Elyse is calm under pressure, able to put fires out that you didn't even know existed and has an eye for decor and design that many dream of having. I am a local Wedding Planner and I have had her assist me several times. I know that when she is on my team, I do not have to worry about the tasks I assign her because she knows what to do and will get things done - which is what I need on wedding day! She has great rapport with other vendors, is personable and always has a smile on her face. She is an asset to any team and is a great wedding coordinator!

Aww thank you so much, Michele! That means a lot, and I love working with you on your beautiful weddings! :)

Amazing job!
Elyse and her staff are so fun and easy to work with. I loved the detailed timeline and layout, everything we ever emailed or chatted about was included in in both the timeline and layout, so much attention to detail! Over the three days of events (rehearsal dinner, wedding and brunch) she handled everything with professionalism and went above and beyond!
I will definitely be recommending her! Thanks Elyse

Elyse is The. Best. In. The. Biz. Period.
It only lets me give 5 stars, but Elyse deserves 500,000!!
If you're having a wedding, you NEED a good coordinator. If you're getting a coordinator, you NEED Elyse & her team. Best in the business. Total superstar in every area. Immune to stress. A true boss lady who will put out fires before they begin. Funny, fun, friendly -- you couldn't ask for better. Whatever she charges, her services are worth 10x. She is PEACE OF MIND when you need it most. Best wedding decision we made (other than, ya know, the whole marriage thing). We're considering getting married AGAIN just so I have an excuse to work with Elyse more!! Also, follow her on social... Insta game strong
Elyse Events's reply:
OMG Daniel! You are amazing! I absolutely LOVED working with you and Stephanie!!! Thank you so much for the sweetest review, I really appreciate it! I can't wait to see you guys again!

Fantastic!!
Elyse and her team are always a delight to work with on events! She always has her Client's best interest in mind while at the same time being sensitive to their Vendor's needs to complete the event seamlessly along with her. She has a beautiful design eye to curate a beautiful event and is always fun to work with!
Elyse Events's reply:
Aww thank you so much, Denise! This means a lot and I really appreciate your kind words. I absolutely love working with you! :)
I did not think I needed a wedding coordinator because I am extremely ocd, well-organized (spreadsheet queen) and have worked in the wedding industry myself. Hiring Elyse to coordinate our wedding was the best decision we made. Everything was flawless from the month-long communication about contracts, insurance and vendor payments, to the rehearsal music timing run-through and day-of wedding timeline. Elyse and her staff were friendly, professional, and made the day stress-free for me (the bride) which is not easy to do for someone with my type A personality. There were so many little details I hadn't even thought about that Elyse made sure were taken care of. My mom, family members and bridal party were able to enjoy the day and be present for each moment because Elyse and her team were busy making every detail perfect! I cannot recommend her enough!
Elyse Events's reply:
Aww thank you so much for your sweet review, Ashley!!! That means so much and I really appreciate it. I'm so glad your wedding was as flawless as you wanted it to be! I loved working with you and Scott! Give Blue a hug for me!
