    Exceptional Wedding

    Exceptional Events by Elisa will take the stress out of planning for your special day. We were in good hands from the beginning as there are many details to organizing a wedding, even for a smaller wedding like ours. We appreciate the great advice and all the hours spend keeping us in the loop. We are more then satisfied with the service and highly recommend them for not just weddings but other types of events and special occasions.

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

    I’m so glad we hired Elisa for her day of services. She and her team kept things running smoothly! She’s easy to work with, responsive, and has great ideas. If you’re on the fence about hiring her, don’t hesitate. She’s worth your time and money!

    Herr-Price May 30th Wedding

    Wow, where do I begin?!

    Back in 2019, we hired Elisa for our May 2021 wedding. At the time, the Covid-19 pandemic was nonexistent and we planned to have our 150 person wedding in Falls Church, VA. As Covid restrictions began to loosen up for restaurants, entertainment facilities, sports, etc approaching the wedding we thought we would be in the clear. However, the wedding industry was told they could not have more than 25 people in a private gathering in VA even if following proper CDC guidelines.

    Elisa and her team had to inform my now husband and me of the bad news, knowing that it would break our hearts. However, Elisa told us gracefully and we worked together to come up with a solution to allow for our 150 guest list and to keep our wedding vision alive.

    We ended up ditching Plan A and switching locations to Plan B in Martinsburg, WV with only 2 months to plan. Elisa and her team worked tirelessly to help us pull off the last-minute switch. We were able to coordinate with all our wedding pros and have them relocate to our new venue. With Elisa's help, organization skills, and can-do attitude, all wedding pros were where they needed to be and when they needed to be there to have the wedding timeline executed to PERFECTION!

    Even with having to go with ceremony Plan C on our wedding day due to inclement weather, Elisa and her team made it happen! Her attention to detail, punctuality, and ability to coordinate large crowds allowed Austin and me to relax and have the time of our lives on our wedding day!

    If you are looking for a coordinator who advocates for her brides + grooms, can make miracles happen, is extremely organized, and can take the stress off of the family and couple, then Elisa from Exceptional Events by Elisa is your go-to girl! I cannot thank or recommend her highly enough!

    Many Blessings and Utmost Gratitude to Elisa and her incredible team!

    Xoxo,
    The Prices

    Amazing! So thankful for Elisa

    Elisa is absolutely amazing! If you are on the fence about a coordinator, please do yourself a favor and reach out to Elisa. I had no stress on my wedding day. She worked with us on our timeline and coordinated with our vendors so seamlessly. It rained on our wedding day and the wedding turned out to be more perfect than if it hadn’t rained. So thankful for Elisa and her team for everything!!!

    Catered to all of our needs

    We got married during the pandemic, and Elisa was very helpful with the process. She provided us with weekly updates and kept us informed as circumstances continued to change. After ultimately deciding to have our wedding and limiting the guest list, Elisa helped to discuss our decision with the venue and worked to make sure all of our needs were met. Her assistance was invaluable in helping us to organize a great and safe wedding. Our guests said it was the event of their year!

    Extremely prepared and knows her stuff!

    I am a DJ and had the pleasure of working with her on 5/18. Her timeline was detailed and she knew how to interact professionally with those around her. The event ran smoothly and she was kind to me- which is not the case for all planners. She has an understanding of exactly what is supposed to happen and when and it's clear she cares about her reputation and honoring the bride and groom's concerns. I hope you hire her and her great team!!

    This is the wedding coordinator you need!

    Marie and I were married on Sept. 14th and prior to the big day Elisa was there every step of the way. I never felt folks needed a wedding coordinator before this but boy was I wrong. Elisa and her team are so amazing, so thorough and so helpful and accommodating that your event will go off as seamlessly as possible. All vendors were coordinated by Elisa and we just had to make simple choices. She handles EVERYTHING without over-stepping. And come the big day, she is there from the start and well after the finish. And she makes it all about you. She is a blessing and so amazing and even best- so affordable for all she does! Do not look elsewhere but use Elisa, her team and company and your event will be unbelievably great!

    Professional, caring and absolutely AMAZING!

    Elisa, Myriam and her team. helped us create an unforgettable night for our daughter and her new husband. We fell in love with a venue, that did not include any of the vendors/services that are required for a wedding, and the a exceptional team helped us get the perfect vendors. Everyone one of their vendors were amazing and flexible. Our venue owner, threw us multiple curveballs and a significant change in head count, yet the exceptional team, made us feel as if this was completely manageable. They helped us coordinate everything needed to accommodate and adjust for these challenges and changes. I would highly recommend Exceptional Events by Elisa!

    Above and Beyond!

    My husband and I were very nervous coming into the whole process of wedding planning and we were very glad to find Elisa and her team. Her experience and industry connections made the whole process relatively stress-free for us. She also was able to incorporate a lot of little details that we were extremely happy with on wedding day that we didn't need to worry about.

    One thing that stood out for us was the fact that we wanted to incorporate a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. She had done something like this in the past and was able to prepare everything for us from hot water to positioning inside the venue and get everything ready for us ahead of time. Her staff is very professional and it was a pleasure working with her.

    We are a vendor that does content work/social media/editing for them.

    Elisa Yushan-Lion and her team are a pleasure to work with. Elisa is extremely pleasant, personable, professional, creative, and detail-oriented. We enjoyed collaborating with her on her website, blog, and social media. In working closely with her, writing about her accomplishments, and viewing images of her work, we can tell that she captures every detail and that her expertise in weddings and other events is top notch. I could see why her clients are so pleased with her work, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her for a simple or extravagant event.

    Big Biz Entertainment.

    Exceptional Events By Elisa hired some stilt walkers and some strolling tables for a wedding in the Washington DC area. Everything was very professional, well organized and very meticulous to every little detail. We look forward to working with her again.

    You can't go wrong hiring Elisa and her team for your wedding! We were able to enjoy our day completely knowing all the details were being taken care. She handled all the set up and tear down and let all the vendors and wedding party know where to be when. All we had to do was show up and get married! Our day was perfect and we didn't have to worry about a thing! Highly recommend
