Quality, Excellence, and Vision

Words cannot express how grateful we are to Elana and her team. She assembled an amazing team of vendors that gave us the wedding of our dreams. I don't know how anyone gets married without her. Also, she is just a lovely person and a joy to be around.

Great team and great experience!

Due to covid and other circumstances, we had 4 months to pull together a farm and tent wedding. Thanks to Elana and Lolita the day off we were able to have the wedding of our dreams and it exceeded all our expectations. I would highly recommend the EW team -- Elana helped us pull together an amazing vendor team that made our wedding weekend so perfect!

The BEST coordinator!

I am SO happy that I chose Elana Walker Events as my wedding coordinator. My original wedding date was supposed to be in May of 2020, and unfortunately I had to postpone twice. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Elana. I barely had to lift a finger as she coordinated with ALL of the other vendors to reschedule BOTH times. Once the wedding day finally came, I could not have been more relaxed knowing Elana was running the show. I was truly able to let go and trust in her, which is not an easy task for me! Not a single thing went wrong, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day!
