Elegant Affairs by Design

cause of her calm demeanor and incredible organization. She made the entire planning process feel easy and manageable. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, and she was always quick to respond and stay one step ahead of anything we needed. One thing that really stood out was her amazing network of vendors — every recommendation she made was fantastic, and they all worked together to help make our wedding day feel truly magical. On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment knowing Samantha had everything under control behind the scenes. If you’re considering working with her, do it. She will absolutely exceed your expectations. We are so grateful for her!

ruition perfectly. Sam was our planner and we can’t recommend her enough! She feels like family to us now! 

s is not my first daughter to get married but by far the most enjoyable experience ever. Kasey with Elegant Affairs was an absolutely blessing to the entire event. Everything was absolutely perfect. I would recommend this team ( all of them) a hundred times over! Next daughter’s wedding they may have to come my way💕 Honestly it was perfect!

on come to life, but also help keep me calm on the wedding day, so that we could enjoy the day to the fullest. At the very beginning, she listened to our goals and she set up a timeline of everything that needed to be considered and done. Sam has the perfect balance as a wedding planner: she allowed me to be in control and waited for me to ask for help (and replied nearly immediately when I did need help), and also knew when to take the lead/ when I needed assistance, before I even asked for it. Sam's kind, bubbly, easy-going but extremely hard-working and organized personality makes her one-of-a kind. Every time we met via Zoom for a planning meeting, I felt a great sense of relief after speaking with her. She always had ideas and solutions for any concerns that came up, and was always able to answer my questions. She has a way of making the stressors that kept me up at night seem so easy to solve, and handling those stressors so that I could focus on responsibilities I had in my daily life. Truthfully, I don't know what we would have done without Samantha to assist us in planning this wedding. Her emotional support in addition to her planning skills, organization, ideas and experience make her the best in the industry. In the weeks before the wedding, she coordinated with all the vendors so that we could focus on family arriving and last minute details. On the big day, she brought Kasey, Kadey, and Caya. They were supportive, subtle and met every single need without question. Guests commented about how smoothly the wedding ran, and I 100% attribute this to Sam and her team. There was never a time that we weren’t thrilled to be working with Samantha and her team. We cannot recommend Samantha highly enough.

prepared for the wedding. On the wedding day we had Riley and 2 girls from her team, they made sure everything ran perfectly. I honestly couldn't imagine how my wedding day could've gone if they weren't there. If you're looking for a wedding planner, hire them! You won't regret it!

ctic process. At our wedding Kadey truly went above and beyond, having a great awareness off all the moving pieces while still being a huge comfort to myself and my groom. I will always recommend Elegant Affairs by Design to anyone looking for a planner <3

ming, and has a vast knowledge of vendors in the area and a great eye for design. Danyle did our design and we are obsessed with how everything came together. The communication was amazing, the planners here are very prompt and solution oriented. Everyone talks about how stressful wedding planning is, but with EABD and Samantha as our planner that stress was non existent, because we knew we were in great hands. I would highly recommend EABD and Samantha and her team to anyone looking for a planner. Our day would not have been as amazing as it was without them!

out nine months before the big day, and from the very beginning, they were attentive, responsive, and incredibly supportive. They listened closely to my vision and not only executed it beautifully, but also offered thoughtful alternatives when needed. I genuinely enjoyed the entire planning process—especially thanks to their Aisle Planner service, which kept everything so organized and stress-free (and was included with the package!). I opted for the partial planning service because I wanted to stay involved, but I also run my own business and needed someone to help keep me on track with timelines and to-do lists. Kayla and Sam did exactly that—and so much more. When the big day arrived, Kayla ran the show flawlessly. Everything was seamless, and my husband was blown away by how much coordination and effort went into making the day so perfect. He was very impressed with their team! I can’t say enough good things about Elegant Affairs. They are professional, kind, detail-oriented, and just a joy to work with. I would recommend them to any future bride in a heartbeat.

Planning a wedding is no small feat—but we asked her to help us plan two weddings due to Hurricane Milton.. Riley handled it all with grace, professionalism, and constant support. She truly helped bring our vision to life, making every detail exactly how we imagined. We expected last minute hiccups during the weekend as everyone does, but she helped us prepare so effectively that there was not one thing that happened that we were not ready for. She was there with solutions, support, and an endless commitment to making our day perfect. We will be forever grateful to her for making our wedding experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a team who will make sure you have the best weekend of your life, you’ve found it—EABD is the one.

She was constantly checking in with frequent pulse check meetings to make sure we were on track, worked with some vendors on our behalf, and seamlessly created a perfect timeline and ultimately the perfect wedding day. It was truly the wedding of our dreams plucked straight out of a fairytale, and we could not have done it without the incredible help of the team at Elegant Affairs by Design.

with. She was incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Her passion for her work was evident in every interaction we had. She took the time to understand my vision, offered expert advice, and ensured that every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed. Sam’s organizational skills and calm demeanor made me feel confident and at ease throughout the planning process. I also had the pleasure of working with Danyle, the design planner. Danyle was amazing at bringing my dream wedding to life. She listened carefully to my ideas and transformed them into a stunning reality. Her creativity and attention to detail were unmatched, and she was so easy to work with. Danyle made the design process fun and collaborative, and the end result was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Thanks to this incredible team, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. I am so grateful for their hard work, dedication, and expertise. If you’re looking for a wedding planning company that will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect, I wholeheartedly recommend them.

lutely understood the assignment from day one and did everything in her power to make my vision come to life. She was responsive, proactive, and extremely organized the months leading up to our wedding. Her ability to manage everything and think of things before they ever even came up was impressive. As someone who is also Type A and organized herself, I can confidently say I would not have been able to figure this out without her. I really enjoyed how up front she was throughout the entire process, always realistic about budget but also finding ways to incorporate all the details I envisioned. Not only is she professional, talented, and knowledgeable but she is also one of the most pleasant people I've had the chance to work with. She is sweet, relatable, and always made me feel understood and heard (even when I made her hop on zoom calls at 8am sharp). I truly am so grateful to have found her, not only because my wedding turned out exactly how I envisioned it, but because I now consider her a friend. I highly recommend Riley and her team, they are simply THE BEST!

were phenomenal in bringing our vision to life—and even making it better than we could have imagined. Every single detail was thoughtfully handled, and Kasey ensured everything went smoothly from start to finish. Thanks to Kasey’s incredible coordination, I was able to fully relax on my wedding morning, knowing everything was under control. The team at Elegant Affairs was always open and accommodating to our ideas and requests, making sure they could happen without a hitch. If you’re a bride looking for someone to turn your dream wedding into a seamless, stress-free reality, I highly recommend Kasey and Elegant Affairs by Design.

om start to finish, her and her team were nothing short of amazing and professional. Her attention to detail is absolutely impeccable and nothing was missed. Sam’s communication throughout the entire wedding process was amazing and she was extremely responsive the entire time. Whenever I had a question, Sam responded so quickly and ensured I had everything I needed. I forgot my veil at home on my wedding day and one of her assistants, Kayla, drove to my house over an hour away from our venue to grab it for me so none of my family members had to worry about it. They completely saved the day! This is a true testament to the AMAZING service that Elegant Affairs provides. None of us had to stress any details the day of, which my family was so grateful for. Samantha is the absolute best and I am so thankful that we had her by our side on our wedding day.

s we had. She took the time to get to know us as a couple which made us feel extremely comfortable letting her take the reins on our wedding day and neither us, nor our parents had to stress at all. Sam’s passion and expertise for wedding planning was evident throughout our entire experience working with her from start to finish. We had the most perfect and amazing wedding day and would choose Sam with EABD to plan it all over again :)

out my wedding planning process and went above and beyond to make sure my wedding was everything I dreamed of and more. She thinks of EVERYTHING - every single detail was checked off my list plus more. Her assistants who also helped out the day of my wedding were just as lovely and I got to chat with them beforehand too so we were all familiar with each other and expectations. The list of positive things I have to say could go on forever.

tions to stay within our budget without sacrificing the luxury look we were wanting. Riley was so kind through every interaction. She answered every question, helped me through difficult decisions, and stepped in when I needed her. I never worried about a single thing on our perfect wedding day. The EABD team came, did everything, and allowed us to just enjoy our day! We are so thankful!!!

! Riley's attention to detail and organization was incredible and made my day feel much less stressful! Best decision I made (other than saying 'I do' lol) was booking their services, I was able to enjoy my day with my friends and family!

out to different vendors, and be a sounding board for all our crazy ideas. Sam was able to execute the most phenomenal wedding with the most calm and comforting demeanor. I really can't write enough praises for Sam, but she truly was a blessing throughout the planning process. EABD Team -- thank you for all that you have done for us!

especially on the wedding day. We truly could not have done it without her. We are so appreciative and if we could do the whole day over again I truly would - all because of Danyle. She was always easy to get ahold of with any and all questions we had and really just an exceptional person. Thank you for everything Danyle!

ur planning deadlines. She helped us with budgeting and weighing various decisions. She also used her connections to reach some vendors who were hard to pin down and handled a lot of negotiations for us - with better outcomes than we had anticipated! We have hosted three weddings in three years with three different planning teams - and Samantha was the best of them all! If you are considering hiring a wedding planner - hire Elegant Affairs by Design! Your decision will ensure the planning goes smoothly and best of all you can relax and enjoy the day while she and her team focus on all the details.

ad planner Danyle was amazing to work with! She checked in with us regularly, kept us on pace and provided us with all the assistance we wanted, but never overstepped. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Danyle communicated with and coordinated all the vendors, provided a detailed timeline for everything and everyone so that when our wedding day arrived everything went smoothly with little stress. Things truly could not have gone more smoothly and I most definitely credit that to Danyle and her EABD team. Thank you for a wonderful event!

they needed to be, and most importantly the bride had an amazing time!

un to work with! Her and her team were incredibly flexible and innovative on the day of. Two examples were when a groomsman forgot his bow tie, one of the planning assistants used her black hair bow to serve as his bow tie, and the other was when the windy evening compromised the hedge wall which another assistant held down during speeches while they waited for more sand bags. My best friend is getting married and I will be recommending EABD to her!

flawless. There were so many moments along the way that we were so grateful for Samantha's guidance. She was so willing to go above and beyond for us in everyway. I will be forever thankful that she shared all of her knowledge with us and kept us on track! Her communication throughout the months leading up to the wedding was perfection. Her timeline for us was beyond helpful. The wedding day was absolutely beautiful and she took care of all of the details that day with ease. Kayla and Kadey the day of the wedding were amazing as well. Hiring Samantha at Elegant Affairs by Design for our wedding was the best decision we made. We could not thank her enough for making our big day so special!

reality and all details were executed with precision. The level of professionalism displayed by the team was outstanding as well. They were always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and ensuring everything ran seamlessly. On our special day, any issues with vendors were taken care of without us even knowing there was a problem to begin with, and that really speaks to their dedication to ensuring our big day took place without a hitch! Their communication was also unparalleled, as they were responsive, attentive, and proactive in keeping us informed throughout the entire planning process. Any concerns or questions we had were promptly addressed, and they went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. Their passion and commitment to delivering excellence truly sets them apart and our wedding was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.

so genuine and easy to talk to; I felt like I was talking to a long-time friend. This feeling continued throughout the entire planning process. Riley’s team helped us pick out save the dates, Riley sourced vendors for us, answered our questions in a timely manner, and even let me vent about any frustrations. Riley had 2 assistants present on our wedding day, and I knew I could fully trust them all as a type A bride. They kept us on time, answered my family’s never ending questions, bustled my dress, even stepped in and removed red wine stains on my dress just before the reception! I’ll miss my monthly calls with Riley as I truly felt like I gained a friend throughout this process. Book EABD, you will not regret it!

little detail was so thought out and executed beautifully. I’m so happy to have found her. If you choose her as your planner you won’t regret it. 10/10!!!

fully unaware of all the moving parts happening around us so we could enjoy our day. Everyone on the team is polite, professional, and truly a joy to work with. They made a fun event even better, and I cannot sing there praises loud enough! Top marks all around! This is who you want for your wedding!

t the world to me with my mom not alive anymore. I was able to work through every planning and design piece with Riley and not only have an amazing planner but now a best friend. The team was there and made sure my rehearsal dinner, wedding and post wedding brunch were perfect. As an extreme type A personality, knowing I had EABD taking care of everything the whole wedding weekend removed all stress. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further than Riley and the whole EABD team. You ladies made my wedding the wedding of my dreams.

time to understand exactly what we wanted for our big day. They helped us navigate the planning process with ease, providing helpful suggestions and answering all of our questions along the way. They went above and beyond to make sure that our vision was brought to life, and we are so grateful for all of their hard work. Our wedding was truly perfect. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and caring wedding coordinator.

could not have been more helpful. We were planning a large, Jewish wedding in an unfamiliar city and Riley helped us choose the perfect venue and the perfect vendors! The weekend was truly magical and seamless. Every detail down to the linens was absolutely perfect. We’re still giddy talking about it! I really can not stress enough how much we loved working with her! Thanks Riley, love you!💕

f knowing they were coordinating everything. They were super organized and knew exactly what they were doing! Sam is the sweetest person on this planet and Phillip and I are so thankful she was part of our special day!

dea what I wanted or how a wedding day was supposed to look (obviously), but Riley and her team took on every task with such grace and serious talent. Her design team is BEYOND IMPRESSIVE. Riley is the kindest human. She communicated so well, she was always available, she scheduled the necessary meetings, coordinated with vendors, ensured all the aesthetics came together, and so much more. She went above and beyond to ensure it was the most perfect day… AND IT WAS!!! She was available months and months beforehand, but totally kicked it into gear during the weeks leading up to my big day. She was constantly checking in to make sure things were going smoothly and to let me know she had confirmed and double confirmed with all of my vendors. There was truly no stress for myself or my wedding party thanks to Riley and her team. They took on any and every task I needed them to and even ones I didn't know existed or that I needed :) I can't say it enough…. They are a talented, kind, and truly exceptional team. I highly recommend!!!

e weight lifted off of my shoulders. I could finally enjoy the process and really take in this special time as a bride-to-be without the heaps of stress that people warn you about. The team constantly checked in on me, offered help frequently, helped reassure me in my decisions, kept my head on straight and, above all, respected my husband and I's wedding vision (and helped to execute it flawlessly!). We are so, so thankful for their team for helping create the wedding of our dreams!

we knew that our event would be in good hands. It was so clear that they love what they do and take pride in helping you create the wedding of your dreams. Every call felt like I was talking with a close friend, which made wedding planning nearly stress-free. Any hiccup that may have occurred during the planning process was resolved quickly and professionally which was so helpful. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding day knowing that each detail was being cared for. Something that stuck out to me throughout the wedding planning process was how much vendors LOVE the EABD team. They would be thrilled to know we were working with Riley and emphasized that we were going to have the most perfect wedding with her help. The kindness and care at EABD doesn’t go unnoticed. My bridesmaids who met Riley all said they now have EABD at the top of their future “wedding must-have” lists. :)

at what they do. They are so connected to the wedding scene in the Tampa area, and did such a good job helping us bring our vision to life and advocating for us with other vendors when we needed it. The day of, we knew we could totally relax because we were in such good hands with them. Their response time to all of our questions was amazingly fast, and we felt like we got way more than our money’s worth from how they helped leading up to the wedding and the wedding weekend. On top of everything, their team is so fun to have around the day of. One of the funnest moments of the reception was pulling Riley onto the dance floor to celebrate all of our hard work together.

ommunication we had in the last couple of months leading up to the big day was so amazing. The day of the wedding went like clock work and my daughter and I were totally able to enjoy the day knowing that Samantha was handling everything. If you are looking for a wedding planner or a month of coordinator, look no further. Absolutely awesome team!

was perfect and I’m incredibly grateful for their help!

s impeccable taste, organized, helpful and detail oriented. We are so amazed by how everything turned out, couldn’t have been a more beautiful day! 💍💕🌟 Love, Melanie and Corey https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmWrea3jvpi/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

support and trust. She dealt with last minute changes left and right and handled it all with grace. Thank you for being you, made my dream wedding come true! Could not recommend more!!!!

r any questions we had. She took care of so many little details when it came to timeline, vendor contracts, and venue floor plan! Kadey was also there during our wedding day to assist Sam in setting up. She was going back and forth between spaces making sure every detail was executed perfectly. I couldn’t have done it without Sam and Kadey and highly recommend them!

responsive to emails, calls, and texts. She always made sure we had peace of mind with where we were at in the timeline. Riley exceeded my expectations by asking the vendors questions I never would have thought of, taking detailed notes while in vendor meetings, being extremely organized from day 1, and adapting to a new vision when I wanted to change my floral design. I was able to truly relax on our wedding day knowing we were in such good hands. EABD stayed through the whole day ensuring proper clean up of the venue, and Riley made sure I received my guest book, signs, card box, champagne flutes, etc. back after the wedding. My family can't stop talking about how wonderful, genuine, caring, and professional Riley and her team were at the wedding. If you're looking for a wedding planner, I couldn't recommend Riley enough!

our wedding, Riley jumped in with alternative options (and was a supportive shoulder to cry on - literally). She was the best vendor we hired, and I could not have planned my wedding without her! She answered every question along the way, and was a huge help throughout the process. She understood our vision, kept our vendors in the loop, and made our day run seamlessly! Her team also was very supportive, and jumped in whenever I had questions. When our other vendors heard we were working with EABD, they had glowing things to say, which really says a lot. Do not look any further - EABD is the best!
