I can’t say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth! From start to finish, she was an absolute dream to work with. Her organization skills are unmatched—she kept everything on track and ensured I never felt overwhelmed. Not only did she help me stay within my budget, but she guided me through every decision, ensuring we made the best choices without sacrificing quality or style. Plus an added bonus - she’s an absolute gem of a human and was a pure joy to work with and chat with!!
Elizabeth managed every vendor relationship and contract behind the scenes, which I meant I truly had nothing to worry or think about. Her vast experience meant she was negotiating contracts just as we needed and we were making decisions that would result in the most perfect day.
On our wedding day, Elizabeth worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything went off without a hitch (from steaming all of our dresses the night before to driving all of the wedding supplies to the venue so we didn’t have to pack them to cleaning our the bridal house so we came home to a spotless home). She was so understanding, compassionate and thoughtful. She managed every detail so seamlessly, it literally felt like pure magic. The entire day was blissful, and I truly could not have asked for a more perfect celebration.
I’m genuinely sad that I only get to have one wedding because I would absolutely work with Elizabeth again every day if I could! She brought so much peace of mind, creativity, and professionalism to the entire process. If you're lucky enough to work with Elizabeth, know that you’re in the best hands possible.

Aw, you are awesome. Thank you so much for the kind words! I loved getting to work with you and help bring your wedding dreams to life. It was honestly a perfect day and one of my favorite weddings!
Elizabeth was truly amazing to work with and went above and beyond as our wedding planner! We went with her full-service package and it was worth every penny. She made the whole planning experience feel so much less overwhelming. After an initial in-depth planning session, we received monthly emails guiding us through all of the decisions we needed to make / tasks that needed to be completed up until the wedding. We also had a very detailed meeting closer to our wedding day to craft the day-of timeline and ensure we were able to fit in everything we wanted. Elizabeth made the vendor selection process incredibly easy. This was what I dreaded most because I am terrible at making decisions! Elizabeth always presented us with a manageable selection of excellent options within our budget making that process MUCH easier. If we wanted to see more of a particular vendor, she would present us with a few more options! She also assisted us in arranging our rehearsal dinner which I know can be an extra fee for some other planners! Elizabeth expertly managed our schedule the day of and ensured that our wedding ran smoothly. The day of our wedding there was a massive water main failure that affected our venue and the surrounding area. Elizabeth was on top of everything and masterfully coordinated with our vendors to ensure that our reception went off without a hitch. The problems were solved before we even knew anything was wrong! Elizabeth was the best investment we made for our wedding.
TL;DR - If you value your sanity during your wedding planning process, hire Elizabeth. You will not be disappointed!

Wow, thank you so much! It means so much to me that I could help you plan your big day. Y'all are awesome and the day was absolutely beautiful!
Elizabeth and her team are beyond amazing, and they are a huge part of why our day was so seamless and fun! Her brilliant eye for design, attention to detail, and ability to graciously lead a room are unparalleled and were invaluable gifts to me and my family. I cannot recommend working with her enough!
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2024
Thank you for your kind words! Y'all are awesome and I am happy that I could play a small part in making your day special.
Any questions?
Elizabeth was the absolute best! I could not recommend her enough!! She managed all our vendors and made sure our big day was so smooth! Elizabeth and her assistant Kat were so precessional, so fun to work with, and just made things so easy leading up to and the day of our wedding. We are so glad we chose her!
Response from the Vendor on 09/24/2024
Yay; you are awesome! We loved being there for your special day. It was so much fun and you were an absolutely beautiful bride.
Elizabeth did an incredible job ensuring our wedding day absolutely perfect and stress-free. Knowing that she had everything 100% covered meant the world to us, especially as two control freaks. She made sure we were on track with our planning and manage vendors throughout the planning process, and was a saving grace during the day of our wedding. She is very organized and completely had it covered. We're still on cloud nine and truly believe the day was flawless!
Response from the Vendor on 07/03/2024
Thank you so much! I loved getting to work with you both. Your wedding day was absolutely beautiful. Cheers to years ahead!
Elizabeth is amazing and went above and beyond to help create the wedding of our dreams! We worked with her for over a year as our full-service planner for our wedding at Summerour Studio. She helped guide us throughout the process in a manageable way that didn’t feel overwhelming with monthly emails and to-dos. She is incredibly kind, positive, calm, organized, and flexible. Wedding planning can be stressful but she made the whole process more fun and enjoyable. She was so easy to communicate with and incredibly responsive to my many emails and questions. She meticulously planned every detail, ensuring that our vision was brought to life in the most beautiful and seamless way. We made a few design and timeline changes along the way which she was so flexible to accommodate and communicate to all our vendors. Several people in our wedding party commented on how flawlessly organized the day was. I am so grateful to Elizabeth and her wonderful assistant Kat for making it such a stress-free and beautiful day for us so that we could spend the day being in the moment and celebrating with loved ones. Our wedding day was nothing short of magical thanks to Elizabeth and her team. We cannot recommend her enough!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/02/2024
Yay! Thank you so much for your kind words. I loved getting to work with y'all. Your day was so fun and absolutely beautiful!
We hired Elizabeth as our Month of Coordinator. She created the timeline for the day down to all of the details. She helped coordinate all vendors the weeks leading up to the wedding so everyone was on the same page. She took all of our decor/things that needed to be there on the wedding day the day before and kept all the stuff for us to pick up a few days later so we and our families did not have to worry about it the night of. She was instrumental in ensuring that our day went off without a hitch! She had multiple contingency plans, which were luckily not needed, but appreciated. She was on top of her game when it came to coordinating our wedding day! She also has an incredible assistant that works along side her. We couldn’t not recommend her more!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2024
Thank you! We loved getting to help bring your wedding day to life. It was such a beautiful and fun day.
Working with Elizabeth eased any potential last minute and day-of worries we may have had for our wedding. I say 'may have had' because my husband and I never had to worry with Elizabeth's help.
We worked with Elizabeth starting a month out from our wedding, and she definitely helped us make sense of the odds and ends of forming an actual timeline for the day-of as well as outlining which essentials mattered most to us. She always made everything flow together effortlessly, despite the several email threads and me realizing I never checked on our own cake leading up to the wedding.
The day-of the wedding, Elizabeth and her assistant helped us not only make it to the ceremony and reception together and on time, we were all comfortably early without ever feeling rushed. That morning, my husband had gifted me a tennis bracelet for the wedding, and I unfortunately lost it while take our portraits around the golf course. When I realized it was missing, I had mentioned it on my way into the reception, and by the time dinner was being served, Elizabeth and Rafael, from CCS, had already located it and were placing it back on my wrist. I will always be thankful for how high of a priority they all placed on finding it when I had already accepted it lost for good.
After the wedding, Elizabeth reached out to us wishing us well on our honeymoon. We will always be grateful to Elizabeth for helping us effortlessly enjoy our wedding and bringing everything together perfectly.
If you are already feeling stressed about your wedding plans piling up, hiring Elizabeth will definitely ease your worries and is worth every cent!
Response from the Vendor on 05/14/2024
Thank you so much for the kind words! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and I am so excited that we found your bracelet. Such a win!
Working with Elizabeth Klespies was one of the best decisions we made at the beginning of our daughter's wedding planning journey. She was everything that we wanted; always finding a way to make everything we wanted come to reality, and even for more difficult requests, she helped us think through the pros and cons and how to avoid possible issues even in challenging situations.
I am a person who values punctuality and she was perfect in that aspect too. Even when there was an issue (never due to Elizabeth but due to other people or factors outside of our control), she was always positive, smiling, problem-solving, and reassuring us in the most calming way and somehow figured out a way to get everything done well! She made sure that vendors would not contact us during the wedding day with their issues/problems, making it clear that she was there to take care of it all which allowed us to enjoy the special day. She and her assistant found ways to go above & beyond and put us at ease, for example steaming all of the bridesmaids/bride's wedding outfits while we enjoyed the rehearsal dinner the night before and she was so dedicated to us, by our sides through it all including from the morning to the late night of the wedding, attending to all of the details. She truly could not have done any better! Kudos to Elizabeth (EKS Weddings), and thanks a lot!
Response from the Vendor on 04/15/2024
Thank you so much for your kind words! This wedding was so special to me and I loved getting to work with your whole family. It was a beautiful day.
Elizabeth is truly a GEM & has my highest recommendation! We picked her full service package and realized very quickly that she truly loves her work, which helps her excel in it in all the best ways! I only wish she could be available all over the country to help my family & friends plan their weddings in far away states etc!
I'm typically a tough critic, and I still felt that she was the perfect mix of the highest professionalism, reliability, & communication standards while also being so down to earth, welcoming, fun, easy to work with, kind, & caring to the point where she felt like a true friend to us & our family!
As a person who is detail oriented and very organized myself, I truly appreciated her incredible organization, attention to detail, well designed charts/excel sheets/planning tools, and her enthusiastic adaptability/eagerness to accept any challenge since we were doing a Sri Lankan-American (multi-cultural) wedding which most people are not familiar with. Even when we had some hiccups with Sri Lankan plans that were out of anyone's control, she remained so calm, positive, and was an excellent problem solver to find a way to get everything done well!
I can't say enough positive things about Elizabeth! Working with her was so delightful that I'm already thinking we should have a vow renewal ceremony in the future IF Elizabeth is available to be the planner! :D We received numerous compliments about our wedding and had many friends & family approach us saying our wedding planner seemed so excellent as well!
Thank you so much Elizabeth and EKS Weddings & Events; we are so grateful that we found you!!
Response from the Vendor on 04/15/2024
I loved reading this! Thank you so much. I loved getting to work with both you and your families. Such a special weekend!
Elizabeth was the best wedding planner we could have had! Her energy and attitude made the entire process stress free, fun, and seemingly simple (which we all know weddings are NOT simple!). She had everything taken care of, all the time, with not a worry in the world. I can't imagine not having her with us throughout our wedding planning. Forever indebted!!! <3
Response from the Vendor on 12/17/2023
I am so happy to read this! Your wedding day was beautiful and I loved getting to work with you to bring your vision to life.
You need to hire Elizabeth for your wedding or event! My husband and I started planning our wedding in Summer 2022 and Elizabeth was our first hire. She made the whole process a breeze for our Fall 2023 wedding.
We paid for her full-service planning, 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!
Response from the Vendor on 12/11/2023
Oh my goodness, this is amazing! I loved getting to work with you both; you are an awesome couple and your wedding was so much fun!
Elizabeth Klespies was absolutely amazing to work with from the initial introductory phone call -- all the way through to the post-wedding follow-up details. She made our daughter's wedding experience enjoyable with every interaction, and we could 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!
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2023
Thank you so much! I loved getting to know your whole family. This was such a joyous planning experience and I am thankful that I could play a part in it. The wedding was such a beautiful day filled with love!
Elizabeth was the wedding planner of our dreams! We spent nearly two years planning our wedding with Elizabeth as our full-service planner, and to say she provides five-star service is an understatement. Elizabeth was truly incredible from the 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!
Response from the Vendor on 11/08/2023
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I loved getting to work with you all in planning your big weekend. You are such a fun couple and your wedding was absolutely beautiful. People like you are the reason that I love my job!
We had an amazing wedding day thanks to Elizabeth!
We had a vision, and she implemented it perfectly! She went above and beyond in every detail.
When rain was predicted, she remained so calm and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about 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!
Response from the Vendor on 10/12/2023
I am so happy that I could assist in bringing your wedding vision to life. It meant to so much to me that you entrusted me with your big day.
We would highly recommend Elizabeth to anybody looking for a wedding planner. She was extremely helpful, attentive, communicative and organised with a large attention to detail. She guided us through the entire process from a year out and took 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!
Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2023
I love hearing this. Thank you so much! You were both a joy to work with. Your wedding day was both beautiful and filled with so much happiness.
I cannot even count the number of times during the planning process (and also during the wedding itself!) my husband and I said things like “I am so glad we have Elizabeth!” Especially on the day of, it was wonderful knowing that we could trust 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.
Response from the Vendor on 09/19/2023
I love reading this! You were both amazing to work and I am so happy that we could create your perfect wedding day.
Elizabeth was and is the best! Between her and Chris (Eastcreek Photography), we were ahead of schedule all day which meant we had ample time to enjoy getting ready and the wedding itself. If there were any hiccups in the day, I had no idea, so my groom and I were able to stay fully present through the entirety of the event. If only it was a bit longer!
Response from the Vendor on 09/05/2023
I am so happy to hear this! You were a joy to work with and I think that everyone had a wonderful time. :)
Elizabeth and her team are fantastic! They’re extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.
After reading positive reviews of EKS Weddings and Events, we scheduled a meeting with owner and lead planner Elizabeth Klespies to talk about our 50th anniversary celebration. Within the first 15 minutes, we knew our event would be in talented, 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.
Response from the Vendor on 07/11/2023
Oh my goodness, reading this just made me tear up a bit. Thank you so much! You were both so wonderful to work with and your event was one of my favorites of the year.
Elizabeth was a wonderful day of coordinator! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better! She was punctual, organized, attentive, cheerful, detail-oriented, and the list could go on. She made sure everyone and everything was at the right place at 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!
Response from the Vendor on 06/14/2023
Oh my goodness, this just made my morning. You were both so much fun and I loved getting to work with you. Your wedding day was so special and I know that everyone had a great time.
Elizabeth was amazing! Throughout the entire process so was communicative, punctual, had the best advice, so so organized, and overall was the best planner we could’ve asked for! She had so many connections with vendors and really made sure we 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!
Response from the Vendor on 04/25/2023
Thank you so much!!! I loved getting to work with you. This just makes my day. :)
Elizabeth was absolutely incredible to work with and truly made our day go off without any issues (even with 20mph winds at our outdoor ceremony)! She was wonderful to work with- responsive, professional, and very knowledgeable. We had her as our 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!!!
Response from the Vendor on 04/19/2023
Yay! I love to read this. Your wedding day was so much fun and I loved getting to work with y'all.
The best decision we made around our wedding!!! I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough! From start to finish, she made this entire process so seamless and easy. She sent us bulleted ‘to-do’ lists each month that made getting things done so much less 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!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2023
Thank you so much for being so awesome! Your wedding was beautiful and so much fun. It was an absolute joy to work with you. :)
Choosing Elizabeth as our wedding planner was hands down the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. We worked with Elizabeth starting about a month after we got engaged all the way through to the big day. She made the entire process 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!
Response from the Vendor on 04/02/2023
I am so happy to hear this! You were so wonderful to work with and your wedding was beautiful. Thank you.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth for our wedding, and we can honestly say that she exceeded all expectations! Wedding planning became fun and stress free once we had Elizabeth on our team.
From helping us pick out the 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!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/27/2023
Reading this just makes my day. You were both so amazing to work with and I cannot wait to see what adventures you share during your lifetime together.
We cannot say enough great things about Elizabeth. She was there for us every step of the way. Not only did she assist with every aspect of wedding planning (we met Elizabeth about a month after our engagement), but she also ran a perfectly tight 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!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2023
Thank you! I loved getting to work with you both. You are such an awesome couple and I can't wait to see all of the amazing adventures that you share together.
Elizabeth was wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to anyone! We used her as a month of planner for our wedding, and from the moment she started, we did not have to worry about a thing. She is easy to work with, organized, efficient, 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!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2022
Thank you Megan! It was wonderful getting to work with you and your family. It was such a fun and beautiful day. :)
I could not recommend Elizabeth more! We hired her as our month-of-coordinator, and we are so happy we did. She was able to anticipate our needs before we even asked and made everything run perfectly. Without her, our day would have been far more stressful and less enjoyable. She is worth every penny, and you will not regret hiring her for your event!
Response from the Vendor on 11/09/2022
I am so happy that I could help you enjoy your wedding day. It was a pleasure working with you and your family! You are such a sweet couple.
Elizabeth is truly the best. Elizabeth was our full-service planner for our wedding at the Fernbank Museum in September 2022, and working with her firm, EKS Weddings and Events, was the single best decision of our entire planning process. We did 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.

Oh my goodness, this just made my day. Moments like this are why I love my job. I loved bringing your wedding vision to life. It was so much fun getting to work with you and I will miss our meetings!
Best coordinator ever!! Elizabeth was so supportive and attentive to all of my needs the month of the wedding. I don't know what I would've done without her on my wedding day! She kept the day moving seamlessly and helped pivot when we had last-minute changes to deal with. She has incredible attention to detail and is very communicative. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone and everyone!!!

Yay - I am so happy to hear this. I loved getting to work with you; your day was both beautiful and fun for all!
Elizabeth was a dream to work with. She is very knowledgeable, organized, and the utmost professional and does it all with a smile! She and Kat made the wedding day go off without a hitch! They even sewed one of the bridesmaids in her dress when the zipper broke! Every vendor commented on what a pleasure she was to work with. Don't hesitate to hire her!

Thank you Stacie! I loved getting to work with both you and your family. It truly was a beautiful day and I can't wait to see the final photos.
Elizabeth is an amazing and extremely reliable wedding planner! She made our wedding day so perfect, enjoyable and stress-free. She handled every detail without hesitation and did it with a smile on her face. I had some other vendor issues in the 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!

Thank you so much Victoria! I am so glad that I could be there for you on your wedding day. Everything was beautiful and I know that your guests had a wonderful time.
I don't even know where to begin to explain how great it was to work with Elizabeth. From the very beginning, Elizabeth made everything fun and enjoyable. The entire planning process was smooth and stress-free. I do not know how we would have survived 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!

This makes me so happy to read. I loved working with y'all. Your wedding day was so special and I know that y'all have some great adventures ahead of you as a married couple.
Elizabeth was amazing to work with! From the start, she took time to understand our vision and created a design book that matched it for vendors. Elizabeth made every step of the planning process feel manageable and sent spaced out emails with 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!

Thank you so much for the sweet note. I loved getting to work with you. I am sorry that the wedding was never able to take place but I know that you have many great things ahead of you.
Elizabeth and her assistant Kat were a critical part of our special day - every detail was taken care of without any hesitation. Many of our guests commented on how efficient and effective Elizabeth was throughout the evening. She is a seasoned 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!
Response from the Vendor on 05/26/2022
Reading this makes me so happy. Kat and I loved getting to be there to help bring your special day together. It was quite the party and I know that everyone had a blast!
From the moment we met her, Elizabeth was gracious, competent and assuring. We knew from the start that she would have things well in hand and she exceeded our expectations. Before we ever thought of needing something, she was there providing it and instructing us in the smallest details we would have had no clue about. She anticipated every need and was on hand with a solution for every difficulty we encountered. She was a calming voice with every last minute concern. She made sure things were where they needed to be and was very hands on. Best of all was her genuine excitement over all the details as we planned and her guidance in the myriad of decisions at hand. She was warm, fun, vivacious, with a ready smile and a pleasure to work with! We literally could not have done it without her! Our forever thanks to Elizabeth!
I could not have done it without Elizabeth! We used her for our "month of" coordinator. She was constantly in communication with me and made sure she knew exactly what we wanted. She was a true lifesaver on our wedding day, I was worry free and had no idea what was going on behind that scenes. She always made sure that my husband and I had a drink in our hand and that we were happy.
If you need someone with great taste/style that is a true professional to make sure your wedding day goes perfectly, Elizabeth is your girl! Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 02/23/2022
Thank you! I loved getting to work with you all. I hope that your first six months of marriage were wonderful.
Elizabeth was great to work with from the start. We started our conversations with her a year ago and her understanding of our vision was spot on! She took what we told her and created a design board and well...we were on board! Throughout the year she was available to answer all of our questions promptly, guide us in the unknowns, and quell our anxieties about uncertainties. On the day of, Elizabeth and her assistant seamlessly worked behind the scenes, kept everything running smoothly and on time, and handled all the small details so my husband and I could enjoy our big day. I highly recommend Elizabeth and would love to render her services for any huge parties I may throw in the future!
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2021
I am so thankful that we were able to work together this year. I loved getting to meet with y'all in the beginning of the planning process and then help it all come together in the end. Wishing you all the happiness together!
After deciding to turn our engagement party into our wedding, we had 2 months to plan everything. While we thought we could handle everything ourselves, we thought hiring a day of coordinator would be a good idea. It was not a good idea, it was a GREAT idea! Elizabeth and her team were everything they advertised and more. Elizabeth has a friendly, upbeat personality and made us feel very comfortable. Her work ethic and attention to detail are exactly what we needed to turn our wedding day into a day we will never forget! We cannot say enough about EKS Weddings and Events and would definitely use their services again!
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2021
Thank you so much for your kind words! I loved getting to help you bring your wedding vision together. It was so wonderful seeing all of your close family and friends celebrate you and your marriage.
We really enjoyed working with Elizabeth and can't express how crucial she was to making our wedding a success! She's incredibly professional, has a lot of experience (so could help answer all of our lingering questions about logistics, etc..), and very positive. I felt completely confident throughout the wedding day that everything would go smoothly with Elizabeth's efforts. Highly recommend working with EKS!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2021
Thank you Sarah! I loved getting to work with y'all. You were so sweet and your wedding was so beautiful. Can't wait to see all of the pictures taken within the Botanical Gardens!
Elizabeth was the most incredible wedding planner. She helped my husband and me create the perfect wedding day. Even with all the delays we had due to covid, the whole planning process was seamless and stress-free. All of our vendors commented on how much they loved working with Elizabeth, and many of our family members and friends commented on how impressed they were with her. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. It was the perfect day thanks to EKS Weddings and Events
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2021
Thank you for allowing EKS to play a part in creating your wedding vision! Your day was magical and so worth the wait.
Being in the floral industry we see a lot of personalities in the way of coordinators. I have never known a coordinator to smile at every moment like Elizabeth does! Your dedication to your brides and families in creating the best and most beautiful weddings is second to none and we always know when we work with you that it'll be a seamless day and gorgeous event! Our entire team at Abby's at The Cottage loves working with you!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2021
Oh my goodness, y'all are the BEST! Thank you so much. I love getting to work with your whole team. Everything you create is magic and it makes my life so much easier.
I can’t say enough about Elizabeth. She was an absolute joy and dream to work with. There isn’t a detail that was overlooked and despite the minor hiccups that came up during the wedding day, she made everything happen so graciously. Thank you thank you thank you for everything and if you stumble across this review during your search for a wedding planner, look no further. Elizabeth is the only choice as far as we are concerned.
Response from the Vendor on 07/14/2021
Thank you so much for your kind words. I loved getting to work with you both! It was such an honour to get to be a part of your wedding.
Elizabeth was the MOST professional, fun, and personable person I have met. I genuinely don't think this wedding could have happened without her. She had everything, thought of everything, and took care of everything (which was super important on the day as I did not have to think). She even took care of things that we did not even think were going to come up. She was worth every penny and I would recommend her services to EVERYONE. I cannot stress this enough, She was incredible!
Response from the Vendor on 06/24/2021
Aww, thank you so much! I loved working with you and your whole family. I am so excited for the many wonderful adventures that you have ahead of you as a married couple.
I had basically planned my wedding myself but needed a helping hand with the day of and making sure we had a proper flow to the day. Enter Elizabeth. Elizabeth was easy to communicate with, always responsive, and accommodating of last minute changes to our schedule (like when you can't get off a meeting for an extra 30 minutes!) She is exceptionally organized and remembered every random little detail, no matter when or through what means the direction was given. Our day of she was so helpful, we didn't have to lift a finger about anything or worry about timing. I am a stickler for time and we were ON TIME for everything!! Best coordinator ever!
Response from the Vendor on 06/08/2021
Oh my goodness, your wedding was so much fun and I loved getting to work with you! Thank you for all of your kind words.
Working with Elizabeth was the BEST experience. Thanks to her, in less than two months we had a beautiful wedding. She has ideas but really listens to what you want and works to make it happen. She's so calm--all the time--that no one feels frantic or pressured. She's also so upbeat and enthusiastic that the whole experience is fun. Also important--she respects the budget. You won't find anyone better to help you plan your wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 06/03/2021
I loved getting to work with you and your family! It was such an honour. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Working with Elizabeth was great! I tasked my husband with the job of finding a wedding coordinator that was within our budget and he knocked it out of the park :)
Elizabeth was so helpful and accommodating from the start - I could tell from our first meeting with her that she was there to help the wedding go smoothly and fit the event to match our needs/wishes, she was attentive and focused on what would fit our overall style. Elizabeth was extremely on top of things, but was always calm, patient and sweet throughout the process. We enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth and would without a doubt recommend her to anyone :)
Response from the Vendor on 06/01/2021
Thank you so much! Y'all were both awesome and so fun to work with. Your wedding was such a fun day and it really celebrated your love and you as a couple.
If you are looking for a wedding planner or wedding day of coordinator LOOK NO FURTHER!!! EKS Weddings and Events did a phenomenal job of creating a stress-free and enjoyable wedding day for me and my husband.
In our initial consultation meeting with Elizabeth, I left feeling relieved knowing our wedding day was in her hands. Elizabeth came prepared with binders that she gave us to organize and keep track of all of the little details of our wedding, including a timeline we needed to follow and a suggested budget for all expenses. Elizabeth has years of experience in the wedding and events industry and it is very evident of her expertise in this field. As the bride, you have so much going on the day of the wedding between getting ready and trying to spend quality time with your bridal party and family and then pictures, etc. It's important to focus on those special moments and not worry about the order of the event. So, take the stress off and enjoy one of the most important days in your and your spouse's life by hiring EKS Weddings and Events to administer your wedding day, you won't regret it!

Elizabeth is an outstanding event planner! She is someone you want to be by your side on your special day. From the start to the very last moment of my wedding planning, she went above and beyond to make sure I had the day I have always imagined.

Elizabeth has planned several amazing events for me and was instrumental in making my wedding day smooth. Her attention to detail and professionalism are unparalleled. She knows how to turn your vision into reality, and, most importantly, she makes sure you enjoy your big day! I am so grateful to have worked with her.
Response from the Vendor on 06/16/2020
Thank you so much for your kind words! You are such a sweet and beautiful soul.
Elizabeth is absolutely amazing and I couldn't recommend her enough. With our wedding, we used her two hour consultation to help us with the details of our big day. The hardest part can sometimes be the order of events, and Elizabeth's expertise made it easy to figure out when to do what events while ensuring that we loved every minute of our ceremony and reception. Our only regret is not having hired her to plan our entire wedding! Elizabeth is a must hire to plan your big day!

Elizabeth is an incredibly talented and meticulous planner! She will make sure your wedding (or event) matches your vision.

You won't regret it.
