EKS Weddings and Events

lanning, and it is literally worth every penny. She gave us a year’s worth of peace of mind and guided us through every step of the planning process. She gathered vendor options, came to all our vendor appointments, and was ‘on-it’ all the time. Every time a vendor would ask us a question, we’d turn to Elizabeth and she’d be there with her pink binder and the answer or a recommendation. Elizabeth's meticulous month-by-month planning approach was a game-changer. It made the whole process feel manageable and never overwhelming. As our wedding month approached, wedding nerves kicked in, but she was the source of calm and always gave us confidence that we were right on schedule. Our fall-themed wedding was nothing short of magical, thanks to Elizabeth's keen eye for detail. She knew exactly which flowers and colors would bring our vision to life, and many guests commented on how cohesive the design was. Elizabeth really was a pivotal part of making our wedding day the beautiful, memorable, and seamless event it was. We are forever grateful for her dedication, expertise, and the personal touch she brought to our special day. We highly recommend Elizabeth to any couple planning their wedding. In fact, we already did recommend her, and she’s planning our friend’s wedding in Summer 2024!

ould not have accomplished a big wedding with many moving pieces without her knowledge and assistance. Elizabeth was dedicated to staying within our budget, she recommended top-notch vendors, and helped us to compare various venues with ease listing the pros and cons so we made informed decisions. Her expertise in the wedding field is vast! She is respected and well-liked by the various industry vendors and venue event coordinators we met. Importantly, Elizabeth truly listened to what our daughter and now son-in-law wanted -- and then she delivered big time! She became part of our family -- we all loved working with her because she has a positive, can-do attitude, gave practical, actionable advice, and found the humor in many situations! My husband and I were so grateful to have Elizabeth on our team and we all appreciated her organization and month-by-month to do lists that made the process fun and less daunting. She was great about making herself available to us and she made us feel like we were her only clients. The day of the wedding was turn-key because Elizabeth was in charge of the timeline, and we knew we were in her capable hands. This enabled us to truly enjoy the day and to relax and be fully focused on the bride and groom and our guests. Clearly, we think the world of Elizabeth and EKS Weddings and Events! We all commented that we could not have done such a perfect wedding without her. Hiring Elizabeth as our wedding planner was a great decision and we thank God she was on our team!

day we hired her until our wedding day (and beyond!). She helped us find our venue, select our amazing team of vendors, build out (and stay within) our budget, and stay on track throughout the planning process while also not overwhelming us with decisions and tasks. Beyond her wonderful organizational skills, Elizabeth helped us come up with our design concept and create some of my favorites aspects of our wedding day. She was extremely professional even during the inevitable moments of panic, and she played mediator when opinions weren't always aligned. She's super friendly and hardworking, and you can tell she truly cares about her couples. Most importantly, Elizabeth was an absolute rockstar throughout our wedding weekend. She did not miss a single detail and made sure we didn't have to worry about anything all weekend. If you are considering hiring Elizabeth, please do yourself a favor and go for it!

out and she was so right! Everything ran perfectly with no issues. The tent she rented was absolutely beautiful! Her suggestions for vendors were fantastic! We were pleased with each and every one of them! She picked up my cakes and brought them to the venue the morning of the wedding. We did not have to do a thing except to enjoy our day At the last minute, right before I walked down the isle, I noticed a tag on my dress! She instantly pulled out a pair of scissors in her little pouch of magic and snipped it off instantly! I laughed so hard which was perfect timing! I could not imagine using anyone other than Elizabeth for your event. She is so impressive and you will be super pleased just like us!

care of everything on the day of the wedding. She took soo much stress out of the whole process which allowed is to just enjoy the whole day - we could not have done it without her A+++++++++++++++++++++++, would highly recommend, definitely give her a call!

her to make decisions and have everything under control. We loved that even though we only hired her for month-of planning, she was an incredible resource through the entire process.

my groom and I were able to stay fully present through the entirety of the event. If only it was a bit longer!

d, capable hands. She came armed with her color-coded planner and a zipper pouch of pens and pencils. Her attention was riveted on our every response to her probing questions regarding what we wanted our event to be. Clearly she was extremely organized and obviously she cared. We couldn’t sign the contract fast enough, so no one else could book her for our date. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We cannot say enough about the magic Elizabeth performed to make our celebration, in the words of many of our guests, “the best event I’ve ever attended.” Her monthly reminder lists were invaluable in keeping us on track. She was absolutely unflappable and completely calm, even when we made major changes, like the time of the event and the venue. She just congenially accommodated our requests and “fixed” everything we had disrupted. She truly wanted this to be our dream event. Some of the best elements of the celebration would not have been possible without Elizabeth’s guidance and assistance. She has such an extensive knowledge of talent in the Atlanta area that when we asked at a fairly late date to have a caricaturist and a living statue, she simply made it happen. She was also an effective advocate for us in persuading the venue to ease some of their policies to permit one of our special requests. On the day of our main event, Elizabeth and her assistant Kat absolutely transformed the blank slate of the ballroom into an exquisite event space in what seemed a very short time. Then we were able to see how all the choices and decisions she helped us make over the previous months came together with her talent to create exactly the look we had wanted. The entire evening went off flawlessly thanks to Elizabeth’s talent and skills. At the end of the event, while we were saying goodbye to our guests, Elizabeth and Kat distributed centerpieces to our delighted guests, rounded up all the items that were rented, and packed up our personal items. By the time we thought to inquire about our things, they had been safely stored in our hotel room. If you would like to hire a planner who will help you bring your vision to life and give you peace of mind to enjoy your special day while she takes care of the details, you cannot make a better choice than Elizabeth Klespies and EKS.

the right time. No matter what was going on, she always had a smile on her face. She was so open to changes if any came about and gave suggestions if needed to help out. Thanks to Elizabeth we had a smooth wedding day! It was such a pleasure working with her!

stayed within budget while still getting the best quality. She made wedding planning so easy and literally she made the day go by so smoothly. We are so grateful to have had her as our planner (and her assistant Kat helping out on the day of) and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone for any event!

ur month/day of coordinator and even throughout the beginning of our planning process she helped us out with vendor recommendations and small detail questions. Elizabeth and her assistant, Kat, had an answer to every question we had, before we even finished asking them. We cannot recommend her enough!!!

ss overwhelming. She was amazing at finding vendors that were available and in our price range, taking all the stress out of the research. She totally understood our vision and helped us curate our perfect day. Day of, her and her assistant were so on top of the timing and schedule and if anything went wrong, I never heard about it and Elizabeth handled it fabulously. It took all of the stress and anxiety out of the day and just made it about the two of us having the best day ever. Me and my husband talked repeatedly about what a value she brought to this whole process and that it was by far the best decision we made around our day!!!!

cess seamless from recommending fabulous vendors, sharing to dos on a monthly basis, keeping us on track with the budget, bringing to life our design wishes, dealing with the dynamics of different opinions from family, being fully available for any questions we had, and everything in between. Her constant positive attitude and high energy were great to have throughout the planning process and the day itself. Our wedding ran so smoothly day of all thanks to Elizabeth and her assistant Kat. I couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more!

he perfect venue to coordinating with the vendors to making sure everything was running smoothly on the day of, she handled it all with poise and skill. Elizabeth made sure that all the details were taken care of and that everything went exactly as planned. Her dedication and attention to detail was truly impressive. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone who is looking for a stress-free, organized and beautiful wedding experience!!

ht ship day leading up to the wedding and day-of. She coordinated all our vendors so professionally and expressed expectations clearly to make sure our vision came to life. She made sure every piece ran smoothly, which made it possible for us to truly enjoy the day without us having to worry about any details. We could not have done it without her! Things ran so smoothly, and we were able to enjoy our day and truly be in the moment. We love Elizabeth so much!!

, and makes you feel so comfortable. She managed all of the contact with our vendors, helped us figure out a schedule, and handled every logistic on the day of. We were able to enjoy our wedding day in full because we knew that Elizabeth had it covered. Thank you, Elizabeth!!

re stressful and less enjoyable. She is worth every penny, and you will not regret hiring her for your event!

d not hire Elizabeth on a whim; I spoke with many potential planners and Elizabeth really stood out. From our first conversation, Elizabeth was professional, organized, and detail-oriented. When we first got engaged, I actually did not want a full-service planner and was instead leaning towards hiring a month-of-coordinator. My partner and I both have planning experience, and we wanted our wedding to perfectly represent us. Before working with Elizabeth, we thought hiring a full-service planner meant we’d be “giving up control” of planning. In reality, working with Elizabeth allowed us to host a perfect wedding while still enjoying the planning process. We were able to focus on the fun aspects, like tastings and décor, while she handled the not-so-fun parts, like organizing fine-print contracts and budgeting. A great vendor team is critical to any wedding’s success, and Elizabeth was the best leader. She has amazing industry connections and very high standards, so her recommendations saved us from extra stress and kept us on budget. Elizabeth’s industry reputation is stellar, and this became clear as we approached our wedding day. Several different vendors, including ones Elizabeth had never worked with before, raved about her organization and attention to detail. One vendor even said we were lucky to have the best planner in Atlanta, and we couldn’t agree more. Elizabeth went above and beyond for us. Like any good planner, she organized our budget, handled vendor communications, and kept us on task with consistent updates. But Elizabeth did so much more; when we realized our original venue (which we booked prior to hiring Elizabeth) could not meet our needs, she found us something even better. When Elizabeth saw that I was getting overwhelmed with the “little detail” decisions like place-cards and ceremony programs, she suggested an in-person meeting and worked through it with me. She even helped DIY a few personal touches, which is something we are so grateful for. My now husband and I have said, “Thank God for Elizabeth” more times than we can count during the past 18 months. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be and more, and we have Elizabeth to thank for that. Elizbeth and her awesome assistant Kat handled everything the day-of, allowing everyone else to simply enjoy the day. Many guests have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and that’s a testament to Elizabeth’s hard work, organization, and thoughtfulness. Elizabeth is one of a kind and the best in the business. We are forever grateful to her and give her our very highest recommendation.

-minute changes to deal with. She has incredible attention to detail and is very communicative. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone and everyone!!!

n the zipper broke! Every vendor commented on what a pleasure she was to work with. Don't hesitate to hire her!

he days leading up to my wedding, and she fixed them instantly! She is a problem solver and a wonderful communicator. She is also very calm, organized and detail-oriented, which is crucial for an overwhelmed bride. The best of all, she was such a joy to work with. I couldn't imagine anyone doing a better job than Elizabeth!

urvived the planning process without her. 10/5 stars highly recommend choosing Elizabeth as your wedding planner. She will not disappoint. We're so thankful for her and for making our day everything we wanted and more!

tasks that needed to be done, so it didn’t feel overwhelming. She was extremely gracious and understanding when we had to call off the wedding one month before and helped us communicate the situation to our vendors. I am confident that the wedding would have gone smoothly with her coordinating and will definitely be recommending her to others!

pro, and I would trust her with any type of event planning. Our special day included 140 guests and required coordination with venue, food & beverage, photography, DJ, and floral vendors. Thank you, EKS team, for making our day one to remember forever!
