    The BEST team in the business

    I don’t think 5 stars and a single review could begin to capture how INCREDIBLE the Michelle Leo team is. They are truly angels — with overwhelming talent and organizational skills. My husband teases me because my eyes lit up on our first call with Michelle the second she whipped out her color coded spreadsheet and started to explain her process. Boy did they not disappoint. I told so many people that I wished that Heather, our Executive Planner, planned more things in my life. Monthly calls with her for the two years leading up to the wedding were the highlight of the month. She could not have been more responsive or done a better job of keeping us on track. It was particularly reassuring to know that we were in good hands given that we were planning this wedding from afar. It was so helpful to have her team recommend pre-vetted vendors so all we needed to do was review their websites and have a quick chat (and of course we loved all their recommendations).

    Michelle was the one with the artistic vision who did all the gorgeous design work. Let me tell you, this wasn’t just a few “vision board” photos. This was a 60+ page design document complete with suggestions for invitations to floral to drinks that matched! Then she and the team brought it to life.

    The wedding itself was an absolutely dream, above and beyond what we’d hoped, but that also wasn’t a surprise because we’d known all along that we were in the best hands. Everyone commented on how relaxed I was on the day of the wedding, but that was because I trusted Heather and the team with 100% confidence and they did not disappoint. My mother-in-law now wants to be Heather’s assistant!

    Boy are we going to miss working with this team.

    Michelle Leo Events is simply the BEST!

    We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Michelle Leo Events when planning our wedding in Park City, Utah and we truly can’t recommend MLE enough to anyone searching for the best wedding & event planning team in Utah. From the moment we began the planning process, Michelle, Kara and Krista were incredibly talented, attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our wedding weekend perfect (& stress-free)! Their attention to detail and expertise were evident in every aspect and their deep network of trusted vendors made all the difference. From our makeup/hair artists and florist to the photographer and band each vendor not only delivered top-tier service but also worked seamlessly together. They went above and beyond to make the planning process enjoyable, and our wedding dreams become a reality, far exceeding our expectations!

    We could not be more appreciative and grateful for all this team did to bring our wedding vision to life in ways we never imagined possible! We can’t thank them enough or recommend them more highly!

    World Class Design, Planning, and Execution--A Wedding for the Ages!

    Michelle Cousins and her MLE team, especially Heather Hull, are the best in the business for a reason--completely on their game and genius in their ability to create a vision and execute it flawlessly and with grace.

    They were true collaborators throughout the entire wedding planning process. We felt seen, heard, and honored. MLE uses software tools to keep track of everything and to anticipate and minimize surprises. They are high tech and high touch at the same time.

    Heather could not have been more professional and gracious as she escorted us throughout the wedding planning process and on the wedding day. She was everywhere all at once, and always with a smile.

    Michelle Cousins created and realized an elegant, beautiful vision for our daughter's wedding. She knows what works and what doesn't. She has a keen sense of aesthetics, flow, and how to create the consummate wedding experience.

    Overall, MLE has the design chops, brilliant visioning skills, and the team and resources to make a wedding dream come true. We wholeheartedly recommend MLE as a world class organization and would use them again for any and all events in the future.

    AMAZING wedding experience!!!

    From the beginning, Elysha (our coordinator) was amazing. She was organized, told us what to expect, helped us set priorities, and started recommending vendors. If I was to plan my daughter's wedding again, I would use MLE again! They took all of the stress away from my daughter and me. The worst part of the experience...it is over. MLE created a dream for us that came true. I would tell anyone that asked that they should look no further for a coordinator than MLE. They are truly the best!!!!

    Michelle Leo Events...THE BEST

    Michelle Leo Events, including her entire team...especially Elysha, was just fabulous. We had a Utah wedding, but live in Indiana....with a two year postponement because of Covid. You can just imagine how hard it was to plan and coordinate everything with us being on the other side of the country during a global pandemic. Elysha and the team at Michelle Leo were amazing to work with and took care of everything. Our day ended up being perfect.

    Loved working with MLE!

    Choosing MLE was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! Michelle and her entire team including Kara and Ashley were amazing to work with and we were thrilled to have the extra support for our destination wedding in Utah, especially since the pandemic limited our travel during the planning process. I was super impressed with the entire team and don't know how we would've pulled off our wedding without MLE!

    HIGHLY recommend!!!

    Michelle Leo and her team were far and away the best use of our wedding funds for our wedding last month. They were fantastic and worth every penny. Without them, it would have been a very stressful events. My fiancé and I were talking the week before the wedding and commented that it seemed we should be stressed and running around doing last minute things but they took care of it. Jillian even came to our house to pick up some photos that we had so we didn't have to worry about bringing them to the wedding the day of. Highly recommend!

    My Magical Wedding

    I live in California, but decided to get married in Deer Valley, UT. Our hotel gave us a list of planners and Michelle Leo Events stood out for good reason. I had the most amazing time planning my wedding with Michelle and Jillian. They were great at capturing my vision and accommodating all our requests. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great wedding planner. My wedding was magical and beyond what I expected. Thank you Jillian, Michelle and team for creating such a beautiful day for us.

    Best Experience Ever

    We LOVED working with MLE. I can't imagine having my wedding without them. They were professional, flexible, kind, and always on top of the small details. Our wedding day was smooth, stress free, and executed perfectly without me saying a word. Would recommend to anyone!!!

    Must hire!

    I am the owner of Firefly Events. A fellow wedding planning and design company. I've been planning weddings for over 11 years so my standards for wedding planning services are basically through the rough...

    As a wedding planner, deciding who I was going to hire to help me and my (now) husband execute our own wedding was something I didn't take lightly. I made the decision to not have my own team coordinate the wedding because I wanted them to truly be able to enjoy the day as guests and I wanted to do the same! I wanted to be able to be fully present and not worry about a thing! If I'm being honest, I never really thought that would be possible, but Michelle and her team were so on top of things that I was able to 100% enjoy my wedding weekend from start to finish!

    We worked with Mackenzie from the MLE team and she was AMAZING! She was so responsive and it was clear from day one that she had everything under control. She was also so kind and we could tell she genuinely loved her job! She is an A++ planner and an even better human. What more could you ask for!!

    I can't tell you how much of a relief it was to know that we were in competent and caring hands. I can never say thank you enough to Mackenzie, Michelle, and the MLE team that helped to make our weekend one of the best weekends of our entire lives!

    If you are thinking about hiring this crew DO IT!!!! You will not be disappointed!!

    -Teissia (and Todd)

    Perfection

    I am a wedding photographer, and have worked with Michelle Leo quite a bit. Michelle and her team are absolutely amazing. Truly, the BEST. Whenever I have a wedding with them, I know all of the details are going to be absolutely stunning, and that everything is going to run smoothly and effortlessly. They truly have everything dialed down to perfection. Highly recommend hiring them!

    MLE is the only choice for wedding planning!

    I have never worked with a more creative, professional, wonderful and responsive team like MLE. I was very worried that the planning would be stressful, but they took all the stress away and gave me my exact vision. Isabel was a rockstar and she helped me with each step of the wedding planning process. She was always available to take my call. My wedding day was perfect. I cannot thank MLE enough and cannot say enough good things about them!

    Dream team!

    I cannot recommend Michelle Leo Events more. I worked with Michelle and Isabel and they were an incredible team! They're creative, responsive, organized, and great listeners. They were honestly my rocks throughout the whole process. I had been warned by so many people about how stressful planning a wedding is...that was simply not my experience at all with these two at the helm. They're so great at their jobs, they kept the ships running on time (and within budget), and they made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The day of the wedding all of my family members were commenting on how amazing Isabel was at seamlessly keeping things on track all with a huge smile on her face. These ladies are the best in the business! There is a reason they have won a ridiculous number of awards :)

    Exceptional experience working with MLE

    We had an exceptional experience working with MLE to plan our wedding. We are from New York, and MLE made it an easy, seamless process to plan our wedding long distance. We worked with Nicole and Mallory, who were absolutely amazing in bringing our vision to life, infusing their creative design ideas, and executing a perfectly smooth set of events over the weekend. All of our guests remarked on the flow within and between events, which is all thanks to Nicole and the MLE team.

    Michelle and her team are incredible- they made our weekend so spectacular. We live in NYC and got married in Park City so we needed someone to help design, plan and execute our destination wedding.

    Michelle has impeccable, classy taste. Her design input and expertise made my vision become reality. Everything went 100% perfectly, and it was even better than we could’ve imagined. So many people told us it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to.

    I can’t rave enough about Michelle’s event coordinator Kate- she was beyond organized, professional, kept us sane and on time, always with a smile on her face. Not only during the wedding weekend but throughout the past year of planning. My family, bridesmaids and groomsmen also commented on how great she was.

    Michelle Leo is a must hire!!

    Michelle Leo Events is the stuff dreams are made of!! Choosing Michelle and her team to design and execute my wedding was the best decision I could have made as a overwhelmed unprepared bride. I planned my entire wedding in Utah from Fargo, North Dakota which is terrifying as a bride but Michelle made sure I always felt comfortable and always knew what was going on. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had and very accommodating when I was in town. Her eye for design and creative mind ensured that my wedding was fit for a princess and more then I could have ever dreamed of. I would recommend her to all brides and am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her.

    Michelle Leo is the best of the best! She designed the most impeccably beautiful design, balanced with the right kind of guidance/recommendation, and worked relentlessly to fit in our budget while still maintaining the integrity of the design. Based on how smooth the whole planning process went, I had pretty high expectations for the day of my wedding – but EVERYTHING exceeded anything that I had anticipated. My jaw dropped over 10 times and I stared in unbelief at everything every interval that evening. The design was more cohesive than I imagined. The flow of the event was paced and managed perfectly. The feel and energy reflected what I had requested PERFECTLY. Michelle listened and learned a lot about me and my personality and then made outstanding recommendations to make the day fit for me and my fiance.

    Her staff were incredibly helpful and they all pitched in to solve a couple of behind the scene problems that none of us ever knew about…that’s how wonderful they are. Calm, collected, perfectly planned. Loved love loved working with Michelle!

    It's been over a month since our wedding and guests are still gushing (constantly) about how it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended, how relaxed they felt, how much joy they experienced, and how ever detail was beyond stunning! Every time i give a slow clap to that incredible Michelle! (sigh) She's simply AMAZING.

    There are no words to explain how grateful we are for Michelle Leo. We started our search for a wedding planner and after doing ample research and talking to as many people as possible, we decided we needed to meet her. After meeting Michelle, there was no doubt in our minds that she was the one we would trust with our dream wedding. Michelle is more than just an amazing “resume”…it is so clear that she puts her heart and soul into her events. Without Michelle, our reception would have been held indoors, instead of outdoors like originally planned. Due to weather on our wedding day, and the amount of time it takes to set up tables, place settings, décor, flowers, band, stage, etc., we had to make the decision to move the reception in to the ballroom due to rain. Don’t get me wrong, when we saw the ballroom all set up before going to the ceremony, it was beautiful and far exceeded our expectations, but when Michelle surprised us by gathering the entire hotel staff, vendors and her team to help move everything outdoors, we were mesmerized by its beauty. I can promise you that no other wedding planner would have gone to that extent and worked that hard to make our dream become a reality. The reception would have been so stunning in the ballroom, but this was not good enough for her. Michelle’s heart and genuine desire to go above and beyond for us is what made her different and made our dream reception into a reality.

    Throughout the planning process Michelle provided excellent advice, and calmed our nerves. She truly is passionate about weddings. Her expertise in event planning helped us make the right decisions and execute our dream wedding. Michelle has incredible connections and relationships with the best of the best vendors and helped us select the perfect team of professionals for our big day. We highly recommend her for any wedding/event and know that when she is involved, the day will be beyond amazing.

    I hired MLE just over two years ago for my wedding day. Last week, we celebrated our two year anniversary last week, and I reflected on how incredible our wedding day was. MLE was originally hired primarily for "day-of" event coordination. Soon after working with Michelle, I revised my contract with MLE and hired Michelle on as full service coordinator. Michelle provided me with the most appropriate vendors for my specifications, she arranged and attended every meeting that I had with my vendors, and she was patient with my seemingly never-ending list of questions and concerns.

    As an example of Michelle's and MLE's polished and competent skills, let me share what could have ruined our wedding dinner. I had miscounted my guest list. Without realizing this, on the day of the wedding I gave Michelle my table assignments, guest list, and escort card list. After the ceremony, while our guests were enjoying a cocktail hour, Michelle calmly explained the situation to me. Of course, I was totally embarrassed and panicked, but Michelle had come up with perfect solutions before she even presented the problems. MLE handled everything with complete professionalism while I enjoyed my new husband, friends, and family. Amazingly, the night continued seamlessly, thanks to MLE. Had I not hired MLE, I would have had to deal with the the potential catastrophe myself and not been able to enjoy our wedding day.

    Throughout the entire planning process, MLE and Michelle were professional and organized, and above all, they wanted to make sure that I had a great planning experience, and that my husband and I had a flawless and memorable day. I will be forever grateful to them for giving me and my husband such a beautiful memory.

    Michelle is AMAZING!!!! I cannot express how wonderful she made my day! I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding and I think that's how all weddings should be.

    During the planning Michelle made it a point to make sure that I was getting what I wanted and not my family or friends. She scheduled all appointments so all I needed to do was show up. With how crazy life already is, and then to add a wedding into that mix, it was nice to have Michelle there to take what I couldn't and to make sure that everything was on schedule.

    I could write for days on how much I love Michelle and her staff! They are absolutely amazing and I love them all!! They made my day one I will never forget, because they made it stress free and enjoyable!!
    I gave Michelle an idea and she made it a reality! I would recommend Michelle Leo Events to anyone who is looking for good quality and an event of your dreams!!

    Michelle Leo Events is the absolute best! We hired Michelle to help plan our wedding at the Montage Deer Valley and because we live out of town, we relied on her team 100%. Michelle's style, talent, connections, creativity, and easiness to work with made the process a breeze. Every single detail came together beautifully and far exceeded our expectations. People are still talking about how gorgeous all the details were and more importantly how much fun they had. The best part is that no one in our family or wedding party had to lift a finger, and my husband and I could actually enjoy our wedding start to finish.
    Hiring Michelle was the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding. She made the whole process very enjoyable and was worth every penny. Michelle Leo Events deserves more than 5 stars, we could use her again in a heartbeat!!

    Michelle was absolutely amazing. My husband and I are military and had to plan the wedding from out of state. She made everything a BREEZE!! The prior coordination was so simple, I just told her what I liked, and she worked to find it for me - within out budget! The day of, it was so amazing to be able to just ENJOY my wedding, not have to worry about setting out centerpieces and place cards. I would recommend her time and time again, and even a few of my engaged wedding guests asked for her contact information for her to travel!

    Michelle made my wedding planning an incredibly fun experience! She is not only professional, knowledgeable, and a wonderful woman to work with, but she really listened to what I needed and wanted. And...she managed to do this mostly over the phone as I live in CA but got married in Utah! With her help, we were able to plan for any visits that I really wanted to do in-person in Utah (such as: picking flowers, tables and linens, the band, tasting cakes, selecting invitations, etc). My wedding was absolutely perfect and was stunning. The day of, Michelle ran the show like clockwork while managing to make us feel at ease. I highly recommend Michelle...she's amazing!

    Michelle Leo Events played a huge part in making our wedding day one of the best days of my life. Logistically, wedding planning was a challenge because I was in DC, my fiancé was in South Africa, my mother who was helping me was in Indiana, and we were getting married in Utah. Michelle was able to get us all on the same page and calm our planning nerves. She was able to fully understand how I wanted our reception to be and then hit the ground running to make it happen. The result was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Michelle is creative, personable, and professional. She knows exactly how to make an experience and environment beautiful. I highly recommend Michelle Leo Events.

    Michelle Leo Events are the Utah wedding planning PROS! Everything about our special day was perfect thanks to Michelle and her team. I had a vision of what I wanted the day to be, but planning every inch of my wedding was not something I wanted. Michelle took my vision and our day was more than we could even imagine! It was important to me that our families didn't have to lift a finger on the big day as they were all coming in from out of town. We were able to enjoy all the fun and beautiful parts of the wedding day without stressing out over the other things. I could not imagine our day without Michelle and her team by our side! I will never forget walking in to our event space and being completely blown away! This is the team you want on your wedding day.

    I recently worked with Michelle for my "love you to the moon and back" themed wedding and she and her team were wonderful! Utah is not my home state so I was putting a lot of trust into her to bring my vision to life. For my wedding, I found Michelle's value was in her relationship with her vendors. Her husband is a fabulous carpenter who does custom work for her clients. He made us these awesome crescent moons that now decorate our home! Michelle also has a close relationship with Diamond Rentals and their lighting expert Rusty. Michelle and Rusty put together a great lighting design for the wedding and made a custom ceiling decoration over the dance floor of paper stars with multi-colored LED lights. Michelle also has an amazing floral contact, Erin of Urban Floral Chateau, who totally understood what sort of flowers we were looking for to bring a pop of color and mountain-chic to the wedding.

    I hired Michelle for her partial package because I'd already done a large share of the planning, and I needed someone to do the details and make sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding. She kept the timeline and I kept a smile on my face the whole day.

    Michelle planned an amazing, beautiful wedding for us. Her eye for design is top-notch. And she was extremely helpful in introducing us to vendors who embraced our vision and executed it flawlessly. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, thanks in large part to Michelle's oversight.

    Michelle and her team were fantastic to work with. We hired her for my sisters wedding in 2012 and again for my wedding in May of 2014. She has a ton of creativity and used it to turn my dream wedding into a reality. All of my ideas from Pinterest and magazines she flawlessly executed above and beyond my wildest dreams. And on my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about anything. They kept a timeline and let me know when and where we needed to be. All of her vendors were perfect and exceeded any expectations. And her services are impeccable. My little sister even wants her to plan her sweet sixteen and her future wedding!!! If I had to do it all again, I would always have her there!!

    Best in Utah

    Best in Utah -- from style to knowledge of vendors -- MLE and her team (Edward and Kate) made the process as easy as it could be. They took a vision and made it a reality! Good at working with a budget without compromising the vision. They went above and beyond to make sure our big day was magical.

    Michelle Leo Cousins of Michelle Leo Events was the best thing that we could have done for our wedding and for ourselves! My husband and I decided to have a destination wedding in Salt Lake City, Utah. Although my parents live in Salt Lake City, when my husband and I were planning our wedding, he was located in Washington, D.C., and I was working in Cambodia so we needed a wedding planner who would be communicative, flexible, and be able to be our eyes and ears on the ground as we planned remotely. What impressed me the most about Michelle was her sense of style, her openness to our ideas, and the vendors with whom she worked. Her network is extensive and the quality of our wedding was more than we could have imagined and what we could have done on our own. My only feedback would be to be proactive in asking what other vendors she has in her network outside of the one she recommends for items such as invitations and flowers. Also, be upfront about looking for samples of vendors' work before locking down vendors to get a sense of their style and work product. What was also critical for us was that she was cognizant of our budget. She put a lot of care and thought into our wedding. We knew we were in good hands: our friends and family still keep talking about our beautiful wedding!

    Michelle is a wonderful wedding planner. I truly felt like she brought the vision I had of our event to life. I think the only thing that was difficult for us was that my mother-in-law, who offered to pay for half of the event and whose house we used for the reception, was heavily involved with the planning. Michelle clearly states that only those who sign the contract should be involved with the planning, and this is a really good standard. I didn't feel like I could say no to my mother-in-law because it was at her property and because of her financial involvement. This negatively impacted the planning process for us and put a lot of stress on me as a bride (and I'm sure Michelle &her team). However, Michelle handled the situation with grace and professionalism.

    Michelle and her team overall delivered a beautiful reception for us and I was grateful we hired her. The only complaint I had was that I felt like there was a lack of oversight to the details... the caterers didn't bring knives, the desserts were dropped on the ground and were not replaced, the caterers left part of the house they were using trashed, and my bouquet was completely different from what I had asked for. While a wedding can never go exactly as planned, I felt like these were the types of things we hired a nice wedding planner to oversee and fix if they went wrong.

    Overall, Michelle is very sweet to work with and did create a beautiful, memorable day for us and we couldn't have done it without her guidance, meticulous planning and execution. My only advice would be to make sure Michelle is a good fit with your expectations/personal planning preferences, and make sure you know who will be involved in planning your event before you hire her/any wedding planner.

    Michelle was very easy to work with. She was promt and professional. Being my first and hopefully only wedding, it was very nice to have someone help with the plans for the wedding and help direct the tasks needed completion up to the wedding day as well as manage the day of. I would have liked a little more help and direction in wedding ceremony/reception traditions. I felt like I was going in it blind and then the day of the event realized I could have done this or that. For example, I completely forgot about requesting a song for the walk down the aisle. In the end I don't even remember what song was actually playing so it all worked out but little things like that would have made me stop and think about everything. I would definitely recommend Michelle with Michelle Leo Events to any of my friends or ask for her help again in any future events i may hold myself.

    I worked with Michelle back in 2011 planning my wedding and honeymoon. My husband was in Iraq when I was planning it and she was a true supporter. Her and my husband surprised me to a amazing trip to Fiji for our honeymoon and everything was detailed to even what to pack because I did not know where I was going until the second flight. As for the wedding portion, it was kind of hit or miss. When I think of a wedding planner I think of you give a budget and vision and they plan it. However, I felt the opposite. I felt as if I was the one who found the venue, dj, centerpieces etc that I could afford. All the venues that she had referred me to I could not afford and then on my wedding day it was crazy. We asked for help to just tie my ring on the pillow and was told to find someone else, flower arrangements where beautiful but I was being asked who gets what and the timeline was nuts. We discussed it often and well to everyone who attended my wedding they said they felt "rushed" not exactly the words I wanted to hear from my family. I feel as if I still had A Lot of stress on my wedding day that I shouldn't have had. Michelle was just starting out and I just believe she didn't have enough hands on.

    Michelle was HORRIBLE to work with. She was only happy when she picked everything out herself in terms of decor and vendors and did not want any input from me. She was incredibly rude to my entire family and yelled at my mother and bridesmaids during the wedding, creating a huge scene. We paid $6,000 for 60 hours of work, of which she maybe did about 15. I constantly had to check in with each vendor on my own. She even messed up the time of my rehearsal and asked me to have all of my guests arrive 3 hours prior to the time on the invitations which had already been mailed out. The biggest regret for my wedding was hiring her. I would NOT recommend her to anyone!!!
