Elizabeth was absolutely incredible. From coordinating with all of our vendors and creating the perfect timeline to setting up our decor and managing everything the day of our wedding, she was the ultimate woman behind the curtain. Our wedding would not have been the same without all of the effort she put in. On top of all her diligent work, she had such a positive attitude and was a joy to work with. I would definitely recommend her as a month of coordinator!

As full-time-working mother of a bride who is also 100% busy with medical school, we entered the wedding planning process with agreement that we would need the most capable and patient planner to keep two highly driven and sometimes demanding mother/daughter duo calm and happy. Well we found her. Elizabeth is not only all those things, but she is highly proactive, productive, resourceful and an absolute joy to be around as the friendly and personable person she is.
Since I had already typed an email to her the day after my daughter's most perfect wedding weekend, I thought it might be helpful to share that as I think it hits all the notes I would want to know as we were trying to pick a planner:
I don't know where to start thanking you for all you did to make this past weekend perfect! From the beginning you've been the calm, confidence-inspiring presence that kept us on track and made the planning tasks manageable and not overwhelming. Hannah and I have both commented on how smoothly the process went. We are both highly organized and driven and without a strong planner with such a confident and highly capable presence, chaos may have erupted, haha!
It was quite the opposite. Your meticulous attention to detail made everything run smoothly. You made it easy for Hannah and I, both the planning and wedding day couldn't have been more perfect. You enabled us to focus 0% on making things happen, and instead were only focused on building cherished memories we will long hold in our hearts. Truly you are a treasure and we are so very fortunate to have worked with you!

The best decision I made about the wedding was having Elizabeth help us plan it. I had my dream wedding this past Saturday, and I cannot forget how beautiful it was. Everything was perfect! I don’t think my husband and I could have planned our wedding without her. She made everything so much easier, and her recommendations really helped us decide what type of wedding we wanted. I will contact her again for any future events I need to plan.
ELIZABETH IS THE BEST!

I cannot recommend Elizabeth at EKS Weddings and Events highly enough! As someone who coordinates large-scale events professionally, I have high standards and letting go of control isn't easy for me. However, from our very first meetings, Elizabeth's expertise put me completely at ease.
Her communication skills are outstanding - she was responsive, clear, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Elizabeth's professionalism and timeliness were impeccable, but what truly set her apart was her invaluable perspective on wedding decisions. She offered guidance that helped us navigate choices with confidence.
Elizabeth's coordination during the month before, day of, and after the wedding was flawless. She ensured our wedding day ran smoothly without a hitch, attended to everyone's needs, and made certain my parents didn't have to stay late for cleanup. She anticipated issues before they arose and handled everything with grace and efficiency.
Working with Elizabeth allowed me to be present and enjoy our special day knowing everything was in capable hands. The entire experience was seamless, and I am profoundly grateful for her services. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who combines expertise with genuine care, Elizabeth at EKS Weddings and Events is absolutely the best choice you could make!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made sure every element of our vision came to life flawlessly.
Elizabeth was organized, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process. She handled every challenge with grace and ease, allowing us to truly enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. Whether it was coordinating with vendors, managing timelines, or making last-minute adjustments, she took care of everything seamlessly.
On the day of the wedding, Elizabeth kept everything running smoothly, ensuring that we and our guests could relax and fully enjoy the celebration. Her warm personality and calm demeanor made her a joy to work with, and we are so grateful for her dedication and hard work.
If you're looking for someone who will take your wedding to the next level and make the planning process enjoyable, Elizabeth is the perfect choice. We truly couldn't have asked for a better coordinator, and our wedding day was everything we dreamed of, thanks to her!

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.

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!

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!

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!!

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!!

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!

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!!!

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!!!!

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!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

Throughout the year she was available to answer all of our questions promptly, guide us in the unknowns, and quell our anxieties about uncertainties.

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!
