    Do yourself a favor and hire Ellie!

    It's been almost a year since our April 2024 wedding and we can still say hiring Ellie was the best decision we made.

    Her passion and expertise for the wedding industry showed throughout the entire planning process. If my fiancé and I were ever unsure about a decision we knew we could go to Ellie for anything. She always provided us with a range of options when it came to vendors and ways to do things. She would tell you her honest opinion which was much appreciated but never pressure you into something.

    Every vendor she recommended blew our expectations out of the water. Our wedding was the best day ever and we truly owe that all to her.

    If you want to actually enjoy your wedding day and take in every moment, hire Ellie for a perfect day!!

    Ellie is truly the BEST !

    We had the extreme privilege of working with Ellie for 18 months (!!) to bring our Indian & Persian fusion wedding to life. I knew from our first call that Ellie would be a great person to work with — she is so warm, genuinely kind, and knows how to get to the point and get shit done. From the start, we turned to Ellie for everything - how to book our venue and find the right date, find and book all of our vendors, our planning timeline and shopping lists, and so many more things, big and small, along the way. I am an Operations Manager, and used to work in project management and events, and am quite particular about logistics and organization - I was continually impressed by Ellie and how she kept every detail meticulously tracked. It was daunting to be planning a 3 day wedding and inviting over 400 guests, but Ellie paced everything out so well throughout the 18 months of working together so as to avoid any overwhelm or bottlenecks. I had so many people ask me if I was stressed out throughout the process, and I truly was not because Ellie had a handle of everything, she only surfaced things when they mattered, and she did so much behind the scenes lifting that I didn’t even know about.

    On top of her usual expertise, Ellie was willing to stretch her usual scope and experience to learn the customs of a Sikh wedding and she handled it with so much grace. It was important to me to work with someone who would take the time to learn and respect our traditions, and Ellie exceeded our expectations. She brought her experience of Persian weddings as well, helping us plan elements that were important to my husband’s family.

    In this process, I learned that having such a strong lead at the helm and trusting in them and their partners is the best thing you can do. Ellie’s network of vendors is truly exceptional - everyone we met was so sincere and kind, and had a shared investment in making our wedding a success. It was truly exemplified during the wedding weekend when, and I am not exaggerating, every single person I talked to told me how seamlessly everything went. Everything was buttoned up, on time, and perfectly done. We had people asking me who my planner was so they could thank her because of how great the guest experience was. And this wasn’t a regular wedding day - we had 2 ceremonies in one day, on top of a big welcome party the night before. Across all of these moving parts and ceremonies, Ellie and her team executed everything flawlessly and truly went above and beyond their scope.

    I could truly go on to write pages and pages more about how special it was to work with Ellie for our wedding. I already miss working with her dearly, and am jealous of anyone who’s yet to get started on this journey with her and her team. Trust that they care just as much, if not more, about your wedding. Trust that they will only bring on vendors who the know will have your best interest in mind. Trust that Ellie will not judge you or steer you anywhere that isn’t best for you. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

    Ajouni!!! Thank you so much!! This is the nicest review ever!!! I loved working with you & Afsheen! You both we such a joy to work with and I felt like we immediately clicked!! Your wedding weekend was so fun and so memorable and I am forever grateful to have been a part of it! Thank you so much for trusting me with such an important time in your lives!! :)

    10/10 Experience with Gatherings by Elle!!

    I had the most incredible experience working with Gatherings by Elle (Ellie Burton) and she is the most amazing wedding planner EVER and I could not recommend her enough to all future brides! Ellie planned our October 2024 wedding in Arizona and she had so many great design ideas, vendor recommendations, and truly made our wedding day vision come to life. Ellie is responsive, and so helpful with any and all questions that come up throughout the wedding planning process. Ellie is a professional- She knows this space inside and out and is an expert in the this business, I would have been very lost without her. Ellie is also just a pleasure to work with! She is so professional, and was extremely helpful with keeping us on track with timing and our budget. If you need an AMAZING wedding planner, hire Gatherings by Elle and you will not be disappointed! Thank you Ellie for everything!!

    Ellie was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding!!! She made all of our wedding dreams come true. She is extremely organized, attentive and passionate about what she does. My friends and family were shocked at how calm my husband and I were throughout the entire planning process, especially with Arizona being a destination wedding for us, and it’s because of Ellie! We did the full planning package and I could not recommend it more! Our wedding was a little over two months ago and we still have guests commenting on how beautiful it was. If you want the wedding of your dreams you need to hire Ellie!!

    Thank you so much Madalyn! I appreciate the kind words!! I absolutely loved working with you!! You made the planning process a dream and your wedding day was even more fun!!

    Wedding Planner Extraordinary!

    Ellie was nothing short of AMAZING throughout the process. I was quite pleased during the planning process with her organization skills, vendor recommendations and suggestions but the day of the wedding service truly pushed her over the top!! We couldn't recommend her any higher and she will be our first call should we have another wedding to plan! (we do have one more daughter:) The wedding was lovely and we were so confident in her abilities that my daughter and I could simply relax and enjoy the day.

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    Ellie is extremely diligent, intelligent, detail-oriented, and so kind-hearted! She was incredibly helpful through every step of the process and was so communicative and responsive! I truly couldn't have imagined our wedding without her! I cannot thank her enough, and all of our guests were raving about the event and said it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever been to! So thankful to have had her along with us for the journey!

    A Dream Wedding Made Possible by Ellie

    Prepare to have your wedding dreams come true with Ellie. Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming task, but thanks to Ellie, our journey was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we had our first consultation call with her, we had a great feeling that she would make our wedding dreams a reality. We opted for the full wedding planning service, and it was the best decision we could have made.

    From choosing the perfect venue to selecting vendors who aligned with our vision, Ellie guided us every step of the way. She presented us with multiple options for each vendor, and helped us make informed decisions.

    One of the most significant aspects of working with Ellie was her ability to make the planning process easy and as enjoyable as possible. Event planning has never been my forte, but Ellie's organization and professionalism made wedding planning a truly memorable and exciting journey. She not only listened attentively to our desires but also offered her expert advice, resulting in a wedding that exceeded all our expectations.

    Ellie's patience and kindness were unwavering throughout the entire process. I must admit, I sent her many emails, loaded with questions. But she always took the time to answer every single question promptly and with genuine care.

    On the day of our wedding, Ellie was an absolute superstar. She orchestrated every detail flawlessly, ensuring that everything ran like clockwork. My husband and I were able to immerse ourselves fully in the magic of the day, and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

    I cannot express enough how grateful we are for Ellie. Hiring her was, without a doubt, the single greatest decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. Her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support made our wedding the incredible event that it was. If you're seeking a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your dreams come true, Ellie is the one.

    Thank you, Ellie, for making our wedding day an unforgettable and magical experience!

    Every Couple's DREAM Wedding Planner

    Ellie is every couple's DREAM wedding planner!! From the first moment we got on the phone, she was so helpful and incredibly generous with sharing her energy, knowledge, and expertise. We were a little bit nervous to hire a planner because our family is super ethnic, but Ellie was incredibly understanding and respectful of all of our traditions, helping us create a Jewish-Slavic-American fusion wedding that people are still talking about non-stop!

    Ellie is very responsible, efficient, flexible, and superb at managing a wedding budget, taking away all the stress and worry for the couple. She has great style and knows how to bring your vision to life, even if you're not 100% clear on it yet. Ellie just "gets it" and I can't recommend her enough as your wedding planner!!

    This makes me so happy!!! I loved working with you both!! It was such a pleasure getting to know you and work with you! I had such a fun time working at your wedding and cannot thank you enough for the kind words :)

    A true dream of a planner!

    Ellie is a true master at her work. We worked with Ellie to plan our wedding over the last 15 months and each step of the way she was honest, organized, and demonstrated true expertise in the field. Ellie was a complete pleasure to work with and our wedding day was a dream and exactly how I’d always imagined (if not better). Several guests remarked at Ellie’s professional and ease throughout the day and noted that our wedding was perfect from start to finish. I cannot recommend Ellie enough and urge you to consider her for your next event!

    Thank you so much Jaime!! :) I miss working with you already!!! Such a fun day to be a party of! I loved working with you and Charlie!

    Blown Away

    Ellie was the best decision my husband and I made when planning our wedding! We were originally on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, but I am 100% beyond happy we did! We worked with Ellie for over a year and it was the smoothest wedding experience I could have asked for. ALL of her vendor recommendations were amazing!! Ellie was so kind, professional, communicative, and always at the top of her game. Ellie was on top of all the details, phone calls, forms, and emails with all the vendors and it made the wedding planning process so smooth and stress free! She was so helpful with decisions and guiding my husband and I through the process. We relied on her expertise a lot, and we are so glad that we did! The day of the wedding it unexpectedly rained, but that didn’t even phase Ellie!! She moved everything around and had a back up plan, which still made us feel like we had a perfect wedding day. My husband and I didn’t feel stressed at all about the last minute rain changes because Ellie was six steps ahead working with every vendor to make it work!! She knew exactly what would look good for the vibe we were going for and how to make sure guests had an enjoyable experience. And guests did have an amazing time!! So many guests told us how smooth the night went and how they could tell our wedding planner was fantastic!! Being able to be stress free about the wedding planning process is a blessing, and Ellie gave us that. Hiring Ellie is a must and a necessity. Ellie really is that amazing!

    Thank you so much Ryann!!! You both honestly handled the rain like champs!! You both are perfect examples of why I love what I do!! Such an amazing venue & vendor team that helped make everyone seamless, despite the rain :)

    BEST investment we ever made!

    Hiring Ellie was the best investment we could have made not only for our wedding day but our sanity everyday leading up to it... our peace of mind. We never worried about if something would get done or if we missed anything because she did not let one single thing fall through the cracks. I stopped setting alarms/reminders because she was so on top of it. Throughout the process she presented us with options and we picked the ones we liked and if we asked for her opinion she gently lead us in a direction we loved. She kept us on budget and we always knew where we were at financially. She responds in a timely manner, is on time, VERY organized and ALWAYS a few steps ahead. Ellie is just an overall kind and sweet person who genuinely cares about your big day as much as you do, you feel like she's a best friend you've known your whole life. My husband tells everyone... the best investment we made was in Ellie.

    Simply the best!!

    Ellie was absolutely amazing from the second she started! Working with Ellie as our wedding planner was one of the best wedding decisions we made. The moment she started her communication was fantastic and she was on top of everything. She brought a great perspective and offered ideas and suggestions throughout our planning. When it came time to the wedding day, Ellie and her team made this the easiest day. From a bride’s perspective I didn’t have to worry about anything once Ellie arrived. The feedback from our guests continues to come in and they all say how beautiful the day was and how perfectly everything went. I will forever recommend Ellie and her team to anyone I know getting married or planning an event. Ellie is truly fantastic at what she does and it shows in every aspect of her work.

    The Best Wedding Planner!!!

    Ellie was the absolute best! She was on top of every detail and had answers to all of my questions the entire year and a half she was my planner. She had the planning under control and kept my timeline moving forward while I was graduating from law school and studying for the bar. I did not have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day because I knew I was in the best hands. Ellie portrays professionalism and feels like a close friend at the same time. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

    The Most AMAZING Wedding Planner

    Ellie was the MOST amazing planner we ever could have asked for! She was incredibly organized throughout the entire yearlong planning process, so on top of everything, did an amazing job of balancing our personalities & wishes while keeping us on time and on budget. She has all the amazing connections and knew the best way to handle every single communication and negotiation. The execution on the day of the wedding by Ellie & her team was flawless, made for the most perfect day.

    Ellie & her husband went the extra mile every step of the way to make this day the greatest day of our lives (including giving us a ride back to the Airbnb at the end of the wedding night 30mins in the opposite direction!) and we truly consider them to be friends of ours.

    Have already recommended them to ALL of our friends and would recommend Gatherings by Elle to anyone! :)

    The best planner

    Ellie was the absolute best!! We had to delay due to Covid, change venues and vendors and with her planning everything came out perfectly! We even forgot to pick up the napkins and she fixed it easily the day of the wedding. There was no stress during planning or our wedding day. 100/10 recommend hiring her! ❤️

    Ellie is amazing!

    Ellie was amazing! My husband and I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into planning a wedding, and she walked us through every step of the way. She helped us create a vision, and bring it all to life. We planned a wedding and a separate reception a week later and both went on flawlessly. I can’t thank Ellie enough for such a wonderful wedding. If you’re in the market for searching for the perfect wedding planner, look no further Ellie is that and more!!

    Best decision we made!

    Hiring Ellie was the best decision we made!! As a pandemic bride, we had to push back our wedding by a whole year - Ellie made it so easy for us during this time and made moving our whole wedding a seamless process. She is super responsive and so dang kind!! Our day went SO INCREDIBLY smooth and my husband and I got to really enjoy it, and I credit that all to Ellie. When the only thing that goes wrong is your bustle ripping from a very enthusiastic dance, you know it’s been a good day. Our wedding was everything that we wanted and needed, and I can’t thank Ellie enough for her hard work in making our day perfect!

    Best wedding planner ever!

    Ellie was such a great decision for our wedding! She really took the stress and pressure off of the planning process. She kept us on track with our wedding planning timeline and wedding events. I felt safer knowing that I had a diligent professional overseeing the entire process. Ellie was super helpful and gave really great tips and tricks for a successful wedding. She was really great at staying organized and keeping track of the budget for us. Ellie was there for us every single step of the way, and coordinated a perfect day for my husband and I. As a night shift nurse, my scheduling is all over the place, so Ellie was a massive help in planning my bridal shower, bachelorette party, and rehearsal dinner. The intricate timeline she made for us was planned out to the minute, and definitely made for a reception that went off without a hitch. She is well worth hiring for your big day!

    Kind, detailed, the best wedding planner!

    Ellie was a godsend with our wedding. We booked her as our wedding planner in 2019, and, after the events of 2020, needed to move to a new date in 2021. Not only was Ellie extremely organized, responsive, and helpful in all aspects of our wedding planning, but she helped us seamlessly move our wedding to a new date (with many vendors already booked). Ellie will really help your vision come to life!!! Don't wait on booking her to help with your big day :)

    Day of coordinator

    One of the best decisions my husband and I made during the planning process was to hire this gem as our day of coordinator! The day went by so smooth and we were actually able to enjoy ALL the moments. Can’t thank you enough, Ellie!!!!

    Best Wedding Planner Ever!

    If you're going to get married in a pandemic, then hire Gatherings by Elle to plan it. If you're not going to get married in a pandemic... then still hire Gatherings by Elle! Seriously, Ellie was fantastic. She took care of our every need in the 18 months leading up to our big day. We were impressed with the way she handled all of our COVID-related hurdles, and couldn't have been happier with her designs and the seamless way things went together on our special day. 1000% recommended!

    Ellie is fantastic!

    Where do I even start??? We hired Ellie at end of 2019 for our would-be 2020 wedding for a partial planning package. Ellie handled all the covid changes and postponements like a pro, walking us thru everything, and then in 2021 we finally started planning again and honestly I don’t know how anyone plans any wedding without a planner. Ellie is out here at the site visit asking questions of the venue manager about AV capabilities and other things that wouldn’t even cross my mind. Also we hired her for partial planning but I honestly felt like she did the job of a full time planner, like she did SO MUCH, I’m so grateful. Not only is Ellie all over logistics, she has great taste bc I kinda just showed her some photos and she conceived of the entire decor plan and handled all convos with the florist, which is great bc I’m not good at aesthetics! On the day, she ran our wedding perfectly and when random last minute unforeseen issues with the venue came up, she just knocked them out calmly and quickly like it was nothing. Our guests kept telling us how they’ve never been to a wedding that actually ran to schedule, and that’s all bc Ellie is a boss. Amazing job Ellie and team!

    Hire ellie!

    Ellie is truly a top of the line planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. With Ellie on your team, wedding planning is a dream and actually fun. It kind of felt like we were working with /talking to a highly organized and knowledgeable friend. Looking back I have no idea how in the heck someone plans a wedding without an Ellie. She made us feel as though she had everything 100% under control. She has great vendor contacts with varying price lists, perfect for anyone trying to be smart with their budget or trying to go big. We feel she was super honest and overall went above and beyond for us. Trust me, you want her as a planner!!

    Look no further!

    Elle! Just so many amazing things to say about her! We hired Elle for month of planning and it was the best decision ever. Elle points out every detail and makes sure all the things are in order. Our wedding day went off so smoothly- we’re just extremely thankful for her. Our communication was always there and I appreciated her input/alternative solutions in my planning process. All of my vendors loved working with her and the most common words they used to described her were, “sweet” and, “on it.” I couldn’t agree more! Thank you, Elle!

    Incredible! No Doubt, Elle Should Be Your Number One Choice

    I feel like this review was long past due--sorry Elle! Elle helped to coordinate our wedding a year ago, and I cannot stop raving about how she pulled off the impossible. I'm not the most detail oriented bride so I was expecting a few bumps in the road for our reception. But nothing really prepared us for rain, our rental companies' failure to build the tables for our reception, and the crazy difficulties with pulling off a "bring ALL your own vendors" kind of wedding. Through each of these difficulties, Elle was quick to come up with solutions and execute her plans with military precision and utmost grace, even with limited resources and time. I was able to really enjoy our wedding day without stress because I could see that she really had everything under control. If you are on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator--like how I was--don't be. Jump on the other side of the fence and hire Elle. She was the best vendor we hired for our wedding day.

    Oh my gosh thank you so much!!! This is incredible and so appreciated! Your wedding was so much fun and so memorable!!! You looked absolutely stunning and were great to work with!! :) I hope you guys have had a great first year of marriage and wish you many more!!! :)

    Perfection!

    Ellie was THE BEST decision my husband and I made. I didn’t want anyone to feel stressed the day of the wedding and Ellie made sure that didn’t happen. She went above and beyond and helped us so much with planning and vendor communication. Ellie was on top of everything but she involves you in every decision there is to be made. She also made suggestions that we hadn’t thought of and it helped our special day be perfect. She’s honest, professional, and truly cares for her couples. We couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her!

    Ellie is like hitting the wedding coordinator JACKPOT!

    I had my wedding on August 28, 2020, and let me tell you, it has been a whirlwind it has been for all Covid brides. I couldn't have made it happen if it wasn't for Ellie. She was nothing but supportive in the three times I had to postpone and cancel my wedding. I knew I wanted to have a wedding coordinator on the biggest day of my life but I didn't realize how necessary she is in the entire day and the normal mishaps that happen. My entire family, bridal party, and even guests noticed how hard working Ellie is, and are already asking me for her info for their own weddings! She showed up early, made sure everything was set up EXACTLY the way I wanted. My favorite part about her is her amazing communication (for someone who is type A in organization) Ellie had full communication with all of my vendors which made it super easy for them to know when/where to drop off flowers, cake, decor, etc. Anytime I needed something from her, she was literally always nearby and would drop what she was doing to make sure I was taken care of! I feel like I hit the coordinator jack pot! Don't look elsewhere for your coordinator needs, Ellie is your girl!

    Best Decision Ever

    Ellie was perfect. We did a quick call to see if we were all a good fit and when knew once we got off the call that she was perfect. Originally we wanted day of coordinator, but as things got closer we realized we wanted to take some of the stress off of us so we switched to month of. The best decision we made for our wedding. She was on top of everything. She was so responsible and always reached out before we did. She was so sweet, professional and organized. There were a few things we needed to make decisions on and she went and did all of the research for us so we could just chose from her options. She made our wedding so much more than we ever expected. I will recommend her services to anyone asking. She is the best!

    Ellie is the best

    No really, Ellie saved us! We were one of those couples that thought we had already come this far, let's just finish the wedding planning on our own. Our venue highly recommended a Day of Coordinator and after chatting with Ellie we decided to hire her for 6 weeks out. The second we hired her she was so on top of things. Replied right away to emails, if she was cc'd on something she immediately took care of it. One thing I absolutely loved about working with her was how HONEST she was. She would research multiple places before giving us the best quote, she would talk out the pros and cons of doing certain things instead of just giving us a straight answer. She was even the bad guy on behalf of us when dealing with another vendor! We were dealing with the possibility of rain all week leading up to our wedding and she came up with solutions ON THE SPOT for everything: Plan A, Plan B, Plan C: all executed and worked out within the week. We felt so at ease having her on our team and our bridal party raved about her. We were also the last wedding before the Coronavirus lockdown laws went into effect the following day; which meant way more last-minute changes in the last week (including day of!) that were not according to plan and she rolled with everything. She didn't highlight any of these issues and instead made us feel so special for our Wedding Day. Despite all of the hurdles, it was the best day of our lives and we owe so much of it to Ellie. 
    If you are thinking of booking her and are tight on money, trust me she is worth it- she will help you cut costs elsewhere! Do not hesitate to book also, I had 3 friends who are getting married ask me for her info and I anticipate she will be hard to book soon!
    Thank you again, Ellie

    You need her

    Ellie was truly a saving grace. I hired her for her 6 week wedding coordinator duties and she made my life so much easier. Whether it was meetings at our reception, adding/adjusting/fixing the timeline, decorating our venue, answering phone calls with questions from me, she was there with a positive attitude ready to handle it. I would 100% recommend using Ellie for any of your event planning needs - she is a queen of organization and positivity!!

    Ellie is seriously the best!

    Ellie is amazing! We decided to go with her month of package and it was honestly the best decision we could have made. We were planning from out of state, so having her take over communication with our other vendors and finalizing all the details the month before was life-saving! Ellie was so responsive, organized, and made sure we were happy with the order of events and timeline. Ellie’s professionalism and organization made the day go so smoothly, it was literally a dream day! Thank you Ellie and team!

    She is the GBEst

    There are no right words to explain how perfect our wedding day was because of Ellie's magical touch. I accidentally found her on Instagram, but I was still hesitant to get in touch with her in the beginning but I am so glad I did. She is very straightforward- gave me direct answers to questions and I was already impressed by that. Come 1 month before the wedding, here goes Ellie- very organized, very detailed. She will never confuse you with emails and responses nor let you feel you the pressure of answering her back right away. And when you meet her, you will know right away that she's very genuine and really loves what she does.

    Ellie is very assuring. You know that feeling when there's a special occasion when you need your best friend and when she's there, you feel at ease, you can finally calm your head down and say 'everything's going to be alright'?That's how I felt (Let me tell you, I am not the one who trusts easily) on my wedding day.

    Our wedding day was everything I ever imagined. Ellie and her team did such an amazing job on that day and I will never forget that.

    Thank you Ellie for making our day extra extra special!

    To the one reading this, I don't know how many reviews you need to convince yourself to get a coordinator- I am telling you now you will not regret it, that's it- GBE is the one.

    Gatherings by Elle's reply:

    Oh my gosh Ria I am literally in tears reading this (and you know that because I just texted you)! Thank you SO much for taking the time to write this review! You and your sisters were amazing to work with! I miss you & your beautiful wedding day!! Wishing we could do it all over again!!!

    Ellie is Awesome!

    Ellie and her assistant, Kevin, were awesome. We chose Ellie as our day-of coordinator and everything went off without a hitch. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Ellie was on point, punctual, and responsive. She also gave great feedback when/where needed. On wedding day, they executed our wedding vision almost flawlessly. They helped keep things moving and kept the schedule on time. They were also there for any concerns we had and was able to trouble shoot right on the spot. At the end of the night, they helped collect and organize all our wedding décor into one area so we could easily pick them up the next day. Talk about service! Ellie and Kevin were a pleasure to work with and we’d 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.

    Amazing! Thank you Ellie.

    Ellie was by far the best decision i made for my wedding (other thank marrying my husband :) ). She was super responsive and helpful prior in getting things ready for the big day. The day of, she took care of making sure all of the decor and setup was going accordingly. Everything went just as i envisioned. She and her assistant made sure everything was moving along. I can't even begin to imagine how this would've gone without her. But let me tell ya, at the end of the night, i felt so stress free and honestly a big chunk of that goes to Ellie. Thank you so much for making my day as beautiful and flawless as i could've imagined!!

    Completely amazing

    I’m writing this review during our honeymoon because I don’t want to forget how perfect our day was and all Elle did for us. Elle at Gatherings by Elle helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect! During the planning process, she helped answer every question I had. She was always responsive via email and I loved how engaging her social media on Instagram was so I could see all the other weddings she was working on. You can tell she is passionate about helping couples make their wedding dreams come true. She was very patient and helped me put together our event timeline and made stellar recommendations. I was able to enjoy every moment of my wedding because of Elle. She helped ensure that the ceremony and reception were on time and enjoyable for everyone. She came and let my partner and I know when it was time to do our entrance, dance, cake cutting and communicated all logistical issues we had with vendors to ensure she kept us in the loop. If you want to enjoy your day and not have to worry about all the logistics and ensure it’s perfect- from table decor, to timing cues, to fixing your train when you walk down the aisle, to not having to assign responsibilities to a friend or family member who you want to also enjoy the day, hire GBE. You will feel sooooo HAPPY you hired her and more importantly, your day will be amazing! I will be recommending her to every friend who gets engaged. It’s an investment in your day to ensure everything you worked so hard to plan for your day will pay off.

    Ellie is the absolute best!!

    Working with Ellie was the best decision we made about our wedding. She is extremely competent - organized, communicative, thoughtful, creative, and so so easy to work with! From recommending amazing vendors that matched our style (and budget) to giving us her honest opinion and suggestions, Ellie was a dream. She listened to our ideas and vision until she understood what we wanted even better than we did, and everything she created for us was way beyond our expectations. She helped us create gorgeous table decor that was totally within our budget and worked with our florist to come up with stunning table garlands. Our reception had some complicated components (lots of vegetarians and food allergies, a group of kosher attendees with a separate buffet) and Ellie handled it so smoothly and made sure everyone had the best time. Our communication styles matched perfectly - she's super responsive and always easy to reach via email or text, and kept us updated with her progress finding vendors, coming up with design ideas, etc. We also had some unexpected family/personal issues come up a few months before our wedding, and Ellie was very patient and understanding but still kept us on track. We had a beautiful wedding and everything was perfect, and we absolutely couldn't have done it without Ellie (and her day-of assistant)!

    worth every penny

    Ellie and her assistant were such pleasures to work with. They were professional while still being so friendly and such fun which put us at ease during the planning process. Ellie was so easy to communicate with and the pricing was unlike any I’ve seen in the surrounding areas (she’s worth every penny, and will help you keep your sanity). Thank you so much again Gatherings by Elle, not only do my husband and I appreciate your help but also my family and friends who had an amazing time.

    Elle is the best!!

    Elle is the absolute best! Having her help with your wedding is one of the smartest things you can do. I had the pleasure of working with her when I booked her as my day of coordinator. She made sure that my day ran smoothly and that I was able to enjoy my wedding, rather than freaking out over the small stuff. She is responsive to emails and texts, organized, experienced, and kind. From a month before the wedding, she was already in contact with all of my vendors making sure that everything would be fine. I had a very large traditional wedding and she was able to handle the size and traditions like a pro. I wish that I had hired her to help plan the entire wedding! Don't even think twice, book her, she's worth her weight in gold!

    Thank you so much Jessica! We loved working with you and we are so so honored to have been chosen to be there on your wedding day! You were the most beautiful bride :)

    Amazing day!

    Hiring Gatherings by Elle was one of the best decisions my now husband and I made. I was truly able to enjoy the whole day from before ceremony to end of reception stressfree because of her. She was able to hold it down and deliver a great wedding day!

    Thank you so much Diana! We has so much fun at your wedding! You were such a beautiful bride and loved working with you!!

    Best night of my life

    I can't really put into words how pivotal Elle's presence was. My wedding was the best night of my life, perfectly executed by Elle! I was able to relax and be pampered all day while Elle was confidently setting up, bringing my vision to life. I could not imagine a better scenario. I didn't have to worry about anything. She had my guest list, processional order, timeline, decor, all of it perfectly in place. Can't say enough good things about this person. Thank you so much!

    Gatherings by Elle's reply:

    Oh my gosh Danielle! You are so sweet! We were thrilled to be apart of your wedding day! I was so beautiful and we are so happy to hear you loved every minute of it! You looked so perfect and we LOVED working with you!! We wish you all the happiness in the world!!

    Best friends wedding

    I was a bridesmaid in my best friends wedding party last month. Her wedding was in Southern California and it was breathtaking. Gatherings by Elle went above and beyond to ensure the bride and groom, as well as all family and friends, felt special, comfortable and most importantly happy! The wedding was absolutely STUNNING! From the floral arrangements, to the centerpieces, down to the escort cards, everything was spectacular. From the second we walked into the ceremony to the very last moments of the reception, my fiancé and I were completey blown away. And made a lot of mental notes for our own wedding! The entire event was seamless and everything was on time. Not to mention the staff was incredible. We will absolutely be reaching out to Gatherings by Elle for our own wedding! And I cannot wait!!

    Thank you so much Samantha! That is so nice of you to say! We're so glad you had a good time and we can't wait to help you with your wedding!!

    Stress-free and Magical Day with Gatherings by Elle!

    The Southern California wedding I attended a few weeks ago was nothing short of magical! Everything about the wedding weekend was executed perfectly, thanks to Gatherings by Elle. The whole process was so enjoyable for the couple and their families because of the amazing organization and problem-solving skills the team has. The schedule was carefully laid out and put together well in advanced, so everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and when! This is so important for your wedding, because it allowed the couple to truly soak in every moment of their special occasion. The ceremony was breathtaking, and the reception came straight out of a fairytale. It was by far the most fun I've ever had at a wedding, which I attribute to the stress-free atmosphere (thanks to Gatherings by Elle), the awesome DJ, and the incredible food/desserts! And don't be freaked out about not living locally to your venue, because I know both the bride and groom of this wedding lived out of state and Gatherings by Elle made it painless and pleasant to plan such an important event from afar. I cannot say enough about how amazing Gatherings by Elle is and will without a doubt be using them for my own wedding!

    Thank you Olivia!!! We appreciate your kind works and look forward to your BIG DAY!!! We can't wait!

    The best decision I made while wedding planning!

    What would my wedding day have looked like without Ellie?! (I'm not sure I want to know LOL).

    Hiring Ellie was one of my best decisions I made during the wedding planning process. She is professional, personable, organized, and an overall fun person to be in regular contact with during your engagement season! I was a very decisive bride who had an exact vision for what I wanted, but the execution aspect was daunting and overwhelming to say the least. That's where Ellie came in! She made it all happen, and ensured we were on top of it all every step of the way. If you're on the fence, just do it - it's an investment that is so worth it in the end. The result will be a beautiful wedding that exceeds your expectations and runs smoothly. Ellie will run the show and orchestrate behind the scenes so you can relax and enjoy your big day with your new spouse, family, and friends. Thank you for everything!

    Thank you SO much Sophie!!! I loved working with you, you were such a joy to plan with!! You, Matt and your families were so kind + easy to celebrate!!! :)

    fun to work with!

    We didn't really know what we were looking for in a wedding planner, but we knew we needed one. We were organized and had ideas, but lacked the time and experience to craft the wedding we really wanted.

    Ellie was super-easy to talk to and patient with all of our questions, and helped us construct a wedding that would have fit our vision (unfortunately, we never got to experience it, as well, covid). She introduced us to amazing vendors that fit within our budget. The vendors clearly also valued and respected her and enjoyed working with her, something that speaks for itself. She also made great recommendations throughout.

    When the pandemic hit, she helped us transition the wedding from a big fête to an intimate affair walking us through every step with the vendors and venue.
