Liz is the absolute best!! I hired her very early on in the wedding planning process (~18 months before the big day) and truly could not have gotten through it without her. She created a great planning timeline and kept it on track, made excellent vendor recommendations, and answered every question I had along the way. On the day of the wedding, she and her team orchestrated everything beautifully and I had total peace of mind that they would be there to handle anything unexpected that may have come up. Elegant Aura goes above and beyond to ensure their clients have a seamless, incredible wedding day!
When people ask for my best piece of wedding advice my first thing is always get Elizabeth Quill - I swear. I don't know where to begin with how much I LOVED working with Liz/Elegant Aura. She gave us a variety of options for plans in working with her based on how much assistance we felt we needed. Even with that, she truly went above and beyond what we could've expected. She came to all or our trials/vendor meetings, talked us through suggestions for flow, and helped our vision come to life. She was extremely caring and made sure that she explained everything in detail to ensure that we felt good about each decision we made. She also took over all communication with our vendors so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Even when we had a wild turn of events with the weather, Liz was on top of it to make sure that everything ran smoothly and that I wasn't stressed. I would say please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you would like more information because I truly believe the Elegant Aura/ Liz Quill will be the most valued and appreciated part of your wedding planning process and day. Thank you Liz and Elegant Aura - we truly could not have done it without you!
Hiring Liz as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we could have made! She helped connect us to excellent vendors and made wonderful recommendations throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her kind and calm demeanor helped us relax many times throughout what can be a very stressful planning process and for that we are eternally grateful! She helped execute a beautiful and perfect wedding day for us. We had complete peace of mind on our wedding day and that is such an incredible feeling, all thanks to Liz and her wonderful team. Liz exudes professionalism, friendliness, and creative ideas. We highly recommend hiring Liz as your wedding planner! Thank you, Liz!!
Any questions?
We worked with Liz for 15 months leading up to our wedding with a partial planning package. She was incredibly responsive, very professional and extremely helpful, especially with some unique requests to help make our big day so special. She used a software program to help keep us all organized, on time and on the same page. On the day of the wedding, Liz and her team had a lot to do (in intense heat!) and let us enjoy the day while they attended to the details. We appreciate everything they did!
You NEED Liz and the Elegant Aura team in your life. Liz helped put out so many fires leading up to our wedding day as our day of production coordinator, like giving us florist recommendations when we were planning our wedding from out of the state. Olivia was present for our rehearsal and asked all the right questions and advocated to make sure our special day went off without a hitch. As a bride, you can totally have sensory overload throughout the day (you’re tired, it’s hot, you’re incredibly emotional), and Liz was everything that I needed- she made sure everyone was where they needed to be and made sure that I had everything (Snack? Water? Liz is ready. Need to ditch the veil because it’s getting tangled and staring to weigh you down? Liz is ready to do anything to make you more comfortable so that you can enjoy your day and what really matters.) I give my strongest recommendation for Elegant Aura. And thank you Liz, you will always be such a critical part of our celebration.
Hiring Liz at Elegant Aura was one of the best decisions we made in planning our son's east coast wedding celebration! She held my hand through months of questions and planning, and she listened and responded to what our son and his fiancé (who live on the west coast) wanted. Olivia handled the on-site details and day-of management, and she was phenomenal, too! Our son and his wife were so appreciative of her attention on their day, and I could just enjoy the celebration. We couldn't have been happier with Liz and Olivia.
A+++ Hiring Elegant Aura was arguably the best decision I made during wedding planning. Olivia was our month-of coordinator and made my life (and my mom's life) SO much more stress free leading up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding. She took care of everything behind the scenes to ensure a seamless setup, timeline and execution. She consistently advocated on my behalf, asked detailed questions to ensure she knew what was important to me, was so organized, and made me feel at ease throughout planning and day-of. I was able to thoroughly enjoy every moment of my wedding because of Olivia and Elegant Aura! If you are on the fence about hiring a planner or day-of/month-of coordinator, hire Elegant Aura!
Liz & her team are the most competent, composed & thoughtful wedding planners! Planning a wedding during the pandemic is definitely not easy, but Liz surely made it as painless as possible. She was knowledgeable & well-connected when it came to vendor selection, and had great advices along the way. She is very responsive & communicative, so we never felt like we were alone in the process. On the day of, she masterfully handled the event - at least a couple of our guests commented on the pace of the wedding being perfect, which is largely thanks to Liz. It would’ve been incredibly difficult to plan & execute the event without Liz, and we would recommend her to anyone!
Liz and Olivia from Elegant Aura are the absolute best! We had my daughter’s wedding in Boston at the Greek Cathedral and the reception at The Connors Center in Dover. My daughter lives in Florida. Not having attended a wedding in the USA we were a little lost. We hired Elegant Aura for the Production Day of Management. Liz helped us with advice for our event long before that and Olivia started 2 months before the event with getting information and assisting us. They went above and beyond for our event.
The rehearsal was attended by Olivia and wedding day by Olivia and Thalia and was absolutely the best. I cannot thank Olivia enough for making it such a wonderful day. I highly recommend Elegant Aura for your event! They are the Very Best!
I can say with absolute confidence that Liz is just outstanding, because I worked with her both as a bride (we got married in October 2021!) AND as an employee (from 2013-2014). In both capacities, I have seen first-hand how Liz goes above and beyond for her clients time and time again to create the most perfect day possible
We hired Liz as a month-of planner and honestly it helped SO MUCH after a year of careful and intense wedding planning to pass off all of that to Liz's trustworthy hands to carry out on the day of the wedding. In that month leading up, she attended all our final vendor calls, came to our final walk through and rehearsal, and *most importantly* she made sure everything went smoothly and beautifully the day-of. Liz has an incredible eye for design, so I knew that under her eye and guidance our reception decor would be stunning.
Liz is kind, detail-oriented, endlessly supportive, and hilarious - everything you want in a wedding planner who is in charge of making sure everything goes out without a hitch! You hear all the time that "SOMEthing will go wrong on your wedding day, it's just a matter of what and how bad" but I can honestly say that our day was totally perfect, something I attribute in large part to Liz's presence.
I can't recommend Liz enough! She's just the best, the exact person you want to work with leading up to your big day <3
I worked with Liz and the bride on the couple's watercolor wedding stationery. Liz was great to work with. She had wonderful ideas to contribute and was very responsive and helpful to the whole invitation process. I'd definitely recommend her for her thoughtfulness, attentiveness and organization, and hope to work with her again in the future.
I cannot say enough about our experience with Liz and Elegant Aura.
Where to begin, as Mother of the Bride and the first wedding of our children I didn’t know what to expect.
Every step of the way we were guided to bring our daughter Shannon’s vision to reality and beyond. You know you have the best planner when all of the vendors tell you that Liz is one of their favorites to work with.
Our daughters wedding was a postponed event due to the pandemic. Liz gave us full confidence during uncharted times.
If I could also add we went with the unlimited access. We had no pressure when choosing our package but can’t express enough if it’s in your budget you will get your moneys worth ten fold.
Our family is so grateful to have worked with Liz. The wedding was everything our daughter and son in law dreamed of.
Thanks Liz you are one in a million♥️
Hiring Liz Quill and her entire team at Elegant Aura was the best decision we made in our wedding-planning process. Through all of the ups and downs of planning a wedding (and re-planning a postponed wedding), Liz was right by our side with her warm, comforting demeanor and detail-oriented, timely, and professional work ethic. For instance, when we decided to postpone our wedding in 2020, Liz guided us through the communications with vendors and guests and helped us manage, what felt like, the neverending uncertainty of planning a wedding during a pandemic. The whole time, she was organized, calm, and reassuring, and we knew we were in good hands. When we began to re-plan our wedding in 2021, Liz took the reins and executed the coordination with all of the vendors flawlessly. Everything came together beautifully, and our wedding was the best day of our lives -- all thanks to Liz and her team.
After nearly three years of planning our wedding with Liz, we can confidently say that you should hire her. She is endlessly creative and kind, will take the stress out of wedding planning, listen closely to what you want for your big day, and do it all with a smile!
As the Mother of the Bride, I cannot say enough good things about Liz and team. She/They really are the BEST! We hired Liz for full wedding planning and I will never regret that decision. Liz gave me full confidence that the wedding day would go without a hitch and it was so! Even more, the planning ahead of time was just impeccable. From finding us the right vendors to helping with decisions coordinating vendor activity, Liz was there and helped lead us through! She is so incredibly thoughtful, responsive and remains calm throughout. I was so grateful to have here there while everyone was getting ready on the wedding day.... She instills this sense of calm that permeated the room! Moreover, Liz , while super organized and able to lead everyone through, is just the nicest person ever. She is so positive, gracious, classy.... You can't go wrong!!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator team if I tried! Liz and Olivia absolutely blew us away. We had some confusion with our previous coordinator and I reached back out to Liz to see if she was still available just a few weeks before our wedding. She got back to me right away and said that they were available and so happy to help out. I could not believe they were still available and when I say that Liz and Olivia saved the day….they quite literally saved the day! I immediately felt a sense of ease working with them and knew that they had everything under control. They reached out to all my vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. They made me feel very organized when I am NOT an organized person :). They created a detailed itinerary that I never would have been able to do on my own, they absolutely nailed my vision, and Olivia was a complete ROCK STAR the entire day of the wedding. If there were any hiccups, I had no idea. She made the day an absolute dream and even made us an amazing TikTok video that we are thankful for. The day simply would not have been what is what without Liz and Olivia and I am so thankful for them!! I could not recommend Elegant Aura more!
Where so I start?? I don't think my wedding planning process or my wedding day would've been so smooth and effortless without the help of Liz and Olivia.
A little background on myself. I am someone who is super organized, OCD, and has had her wedding planned since she was 5! When I got engaged I thought I would be perfectly fine and wouldn't need a wedding planner. My mom reached out to Elegant Aura because she wanted to make sure we didn't worry about one single thing during our planning process and on our wedding day.
THANK GOD she did it. Liz was an absolute life saver, especially when the pandemic came around and we had to postpone our wedding. Liz was always there when we needed her. From my endless emails of questions, concerns, and worries, she always seemed to have the answer and calmed me down. She was there for several meetings with our vendors, check on contracts for us, and even put together a timeline for our wedding process and a budget sheet for our reference.
When our big day arrived OF COURSE it poured, because that's the luck of a COVID bride right?? Liz was there for my fiance and I every second we needed her along with her partner Olivia. Despite the rain, the day was absolutely incredible and people are still talking about it a month later.
A heartfelt thank you to Liz for being a huge support system during a very important moment in my life. I can't thank you enough for being there when I needed you and always reaching out to several vendors when I had questions. I know our day wouldn't have been this perfect without you. WE LOVE YOU!!
Liz of Elegant Aura was a godsend. My fiancé and I had originally planned to get married this summer but then the pandemic happened. Liz reached out to all of our vendors and helped us come up with a game plan. As a result, we were able to have a beautiful, intimate and safe celebration. During this unprecedented time, we were thankful to have Liz's guidance leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself. We would definitely recommend Elegant Aura!
Liz is the absolute BEST! We hired her to pull together our elopement in Cape Code in Sept 2020 and we had the best experience working with her. She helped us pick a ceremony location, recommended the very best photographer, hair, make-up, video, flowers and limo! Everything turned out perfect. She responded to all our emails timely and even was the officiant for our wedding (and did a great job!)! Plus she is super personable and we really enjoyed our time working and talking with her. IF you want your wedding to be everything you dreamed of, hire Liz!

l the love, laughter and happiness you deserve! Best wishes, Liz
Liz is ***the best***. Her professional is matched only by her warmth, optimism, and solution focus. Liz planned our wedding in Sept 2020 (caution: corona bride). Her transparent approach was exactly what we needed. No matter what happened (cancelled venues, cancelled vendors, new state guidelines, travel restrictions), Liz helped us carry out our intimate, 13-person wedding. Before a problem occurred, Liz had ideas for a back up plan. If she was nervous or stressed, she never showed it. She steadily lead us up to our wedding, and on the day she even picked up the cake! Throughout the day, she kept us **on time** and kept everything moving smoothly. All vendors knew what to do thanks to her thorough communication. Also, she knows all of the best vendors. Thanks again, Liz!!!

Liz from Elegant Aura is amazing! She can make the biggest celebration seem effortless, and the smallest Covid micro-wedding feel big and important! I have had the pleasure of working with Liz many times and seen how easy she makes it look behind the scenes, truly professional and fun to be around!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2020
Thanks, Stacey! We love working with you and look forward to more opportunities in the future!
Olivia and Liz were there every step of the way during my COVID wedding planning process. My wedding went from 300 guests to a 50 person backyard wedding. They transformed the yard and it didn’t even feel as if I was in my back yard. I truly don’t feel like this day could have been any better. You made it more beautiful than any venue would have ever been able to. I appreciate all of your help, opinions, guidance, and positive reassurance from both of you ladies. Olivias professionalism is beyond words. Thank you for making our wedding an unforgettable wedding planning process AND an unforgettable night. We will definitely be in touch about a future celebration once COVID is gone!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/15/2020
We were beyond grateful to have been a part of your special day! We cannot wait to help you plan your post-COVID celebration for the guests we have yet to meet :-) You, Bobby, and your family were a joy to work with and get to know over the pa...
st year! I'm so happy we were able to make your intimate gathering one to remember - Olivia, xo
Liz and her team are truly INCREDIBLE and made our wedding day (and the whole planning process) straightforward and manageable. We started working with Liz about 17 months before the wedding, and I could tell from our initial meeting that she was extremely professional, organized, experienced, and friendly. She was always prompt and responsive to my many questions, and helped keep us on track with selecting vendors. I am a student and Liz was extremely flexible with my schedule. Once we shared our vision with her, she ran with it and really made our style shine through. She helped us find high-quality vendors that we probably wouldn’t have found alone, and she coordinated with them to ensure everyone was on the same page. She attended many of our vendor meetings and asked all the right questions to make sure we were getting what we wanted! Especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding, Liz’s help was crucial. I can’t imagine dealing with wedding planning alone! Liz kept track of every single detail and probably made magic happen behind the scenes that we don’t even know about! And the end result was a perfect wedding day (we were ready for something to go slightly wrong, but NOTHING did)! We also worked with Olivia for our ceremony rehearsal, and she was fabulous as well. We highly recommend Elegant Aura!

ring it to life. Your added personal touches made your day stand out! Thank you so much for your lovely words. I wish you all the best in your new journey together! xo
I’m forever grateful to Liz and her team for their work as the “day-of coordinator” for my wedding. She was totally essential in planning the order of the day, making sure that all the vendors knew where they were going and when, giving helpful advice, and managing family dynamics. We could not have done it without Liz 💕🙏
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2019
We loved being a part of your team! With so many unique touches, and a band performing original music, we were honored to experience the day with you. Thank you so much for your kind words! We wish you a lifetime of love!! xo
Liz and Olivia are absolutely AMAZING! They went so above and beyond in so many ways. From coordinating with vendors to double checking our orders from the tent company to make sure we remembered extra small tables for the cake and favors (which we hadn’t) they were a god sent. Wedding planning is so stressful but Liz took SO much weight off of my shoulders I can’t even imagine how hard it would have been without her. She thought of absolutely everything and my wedding was absolutely perfect. Not a single detail was overlooked. I would highly recommend Elegant Aura to anyone with an upcoming wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2019
You are so sweet! Thank you for your thoughtful message. It was our pleasure and we're so grateful to have been a part of your day. You have a beautiful family, which we enjoyed getting to know. We wish you all a happy, healthy and loving ...
life! xo
As I wedding photographer, I have worked with many event planners before. Elegant Aura stood out right away. Liz made sure to reach out to me before the wedding to introduce herself, talk through the wedding timeline, and make sure there is ample time for photo coverage during each part of the day (taking into account my professional advice, and actually LISTENING!) Liz and her team were so helpful during the day, while always acting in the client's best interests . The wedding day went without a hitch!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2019
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure working with you. We appreciate your flexibility throughout the wedding day, and happy to know we were helpful to you. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding which you c...
aptured perfectly. We look forward to working with you again soon!
We worked directly with Olivia as our month of planner. Olivia was a great asset in helping us to achieve the wedding we wanted - her expertise and ability to push back on vendors and prioritize what we wanted was great (there were so many things we didn't know about or didn't know we could push back on/ or demand and she did a great job helping us here). In addition, her coordination of everything in the run-up to the wedding was seamless. We would strongly recommend every couple to hire a month-of planner and Olivia did a great job!

Liz was terrific! She helped us through every part of the process, was patient in answering all our questions and hooking us up with some of the most incredible vendors. Initially we weren't going to hire a planner, but I'm so glad that we did. Our day was so special, and it's absolutely thanks to Liz for making that possible.
Response from the Vendor on 11/11/2019
We're so grateful for your kind words! Your venue is an all-time favorite and we're thrilled to have been a part of your day. Thank you so much for putting your trust in us!
Hiring Liz was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. She was able to guide us through the process while listening to our vision. Liz arrived early to appointments to make sure everything was set up. On the day of the wedding, Liz and her assistant Olivia made sure the day ran incredibly smoothly. We would not change a thing about our wedding, all thanks to Liz!
Response from the Vendor on 11/11/2019
We're incredibly grateful for your sweet words and for being a part of your day. Your day had the perfect summer weather with the most beautiful backdrop. Thank you so much for allowing us to share in your vision. ~Lots of love and happine...
ss to you and Josh!
Liz and her team at Elegant Aura were AMAZING! We hired Liz for month of coordination to help us with the final details before our wedding. My husband and I had a tent wedding at The Gardens at Elm Bank out in Wellesley and let me tell you this required a LOT of planning which my family and I did majority of. Once we got down to the last few months we were so thankful to have Liz there to help us get over the final hump because there were so many moving parts. Her team totally put us at ease and we had complete faith that they would be there to make sure our day turned out exactly how we envisioned. Our day was perfect and I highly recommend Liz and her team to all the couples out there looking for wedding planners/ coordinators...you wont be disappointed!!!
Thank you, Liz for making our day such a special one. We had some last minute changes to our venue layout due to weather, and Liz made sure everything was taken care of and went smoothly. Having Liz there put my mind at ease and I trusted her experience and suggestions!
Working with Liz and her team was seamless. She was communicative, thorough, and a real pro. Her day-of management and organization was extremely helpful and it was a pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend this happy and positive team!
I cannot explain the level of professionalism, organization, and focus you get with Elegant Aura. Liz helped me to make my somewhat logistically challenging celebration into a reality from start to finish. She was my right hand lady for the entire 10 month process and there is no way I could have pulled it off without her (at least not without losing my mind). Speaking of which, she is also amazing for helping stressed out brides keep their cool. A million thank you's to Liz and her team for creating the most spectacular day of our lives.
As one can clearly see from ALL of her reviews, Liz Quill is truly a master of her art. She has an amazing ability of making you feel like you are the only bride she is working with- even though you know she is working diligently with many others. She made sure everything went perfectly, we literally just had to show up! Throughout the planning..She kept me on my toes, was there when I needed her, and truly made the wedding planning experience, and our wedding, absolutely beautiful. If you are fortunate enough to get the opportunity to work with her, you will NOT be disappointed! Wedding planning can be stressful, but with her by your side- I GUARANTEE you will have NOTHING to worry about. We love you so much, thank you again for everything! You're the best!
First off, let me just say that hiring a wedding planner was a MUST for us! We have been following Elegant Aura on Instagram for years, so we knew when it was our time to get married, this is who we wanted to hire! Their reviews are out of this world, and we have always been so impressed by their weddings. They were truly the best money we could have spent and by far was our top vendor choice (although they built us an amazing team of other wedding vendors too) They literally handled everything and made it such an easy, low stress, and fun process. The entire weekend went by so fast but it was truly the BEST weekend of our lives and we owe a lot of that to Elegant Aura. Thank you Liz!
Liz & Olivia went above and beyond for us. We are from Chicago and love Boston. But it’s hard to plan a wedding across the country with a place we aren’t super familiar with. Liz was the only wedding planner that offered to start earlier than most would for just Day Of. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else ! She never made us feel like we were the lowest package she offered. She made us feel super important and cared for. It’s so weird not talking and have our phone meetings all the time. We really miss them both! If you are considering an amazing wedding planner then definitely go with Elegant Aura you won’t be disappointed!
I honestly can't say enough about Liz and Elegant Aura!!! We got married in a very small private ceremony and wanted someone to plan our post-wedding celebration for all of our friends and family. Liz was highly recommended by a friend, so I reached out to her immediately. From our first conversation through the execution of our reception, I knew she was the perfect fit! Liz is so talented, caring, extremely personable and just a true pleasure to work with! She understood exactly what I wanted and created an evening more beautiful than I imagined. And best of all, it was stress free for me! Planning such an important event can be very overwhelming (and I plan corporate events for a living). I truly believe that I would not have been able to do this by myself. Knowing Liz was on top of all of the details let me enjoy myself and was worry free. Working with Elegant Aura was absolutely the best decision we made! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!
Oh my goodness, where do I even begin?! Liz is AMAZING! We were married in December at the Omni Parker House and hired Liz in late summer/early fall for coordination. The venue offered their own designated event coordinator, but nothing can replicate a wedding coordinator, the value is unmatched! Liz anticipated every single possible need of ours often before I even realized it existed, she was involved in all the coordination and communication with all vendors leading up to the weeding and followed up to make sure they had everything they needed (timeline, location details, payment, etc.) to make our day perfect. I was so sad when our wedding was over because it meant I didn’t get to talk to Liz everyday! Liz is a professional, she knows the industry, she knows the players, she knows the game and she knows exactly what her clients need. I think she knew my vision better than I did and she completely captured it! I was a super organized bride, with an event planner provided by the venue and still found Liz to be the single most valuable vendor of my entire wedding planning process. Prior to hiring Liz, I wasn’t totally sold on the wedding coordinator idea because of my diligence in planning and the venue coordinator that was provided. As a result, I had extremely high expectations for what kind of value she could add and she absolutely, 100% blew them away! If you’re doubting a coordinator and or doubting if Liz is the one for you— talk to her, meet her, share your vision and see if it’s a match because she will make your wedding day (and the months leading up to it) way less stressful and absolutely perfect in every way you imagined! She executed our dream wedding and we could not be more grateful! Liz, we could not have done it without you— thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Our daughter got married at the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Though we picked the venue ourselves we knew we needed help transforming the multiple spaces into the elegant, memorable, classy (but not over the top), black tie affair my daughter, her fiance, my husband and I envisioned. Liz helped us with the design and decor including the lighting, flowers and ALL rentals which were extensive since the JFK library ONLY provides the magnificent setting and views. Elegant Aura also served as the "day of" planner/coordinator.
Liz was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely responsive to calls and emails. She attended all vendor meetings with us and worked very hard to bring the vision to life. She helped navigate and source items at the best cost and to substitute items, where necessary, to achieve the effect we desired, at a lower cost. She knows from experience which elements are the most important in creating the overall look and feel.
The day of the wedding was flawless (from our perspective). She arrived first thing in the morning and was there well after we left at the end of the night. Liz made sure our needs were met and that the day went smoothly from start to finish. She even helped us with an impromptu rehearsal since we hadn't had one!
Liz always has a smile on her face and a positive frame of mind. Over the year she became more like a member of the family than a vendor. All four of us would highly recommend Elegant Aura if you are in the market for a wedding planner!
I married on June 30th, 2018. Liz was an exceptional event planner. Her style is both elegant and adorable, when looking at her website I knew she would be an amazing fit for me. She was so responsive and reliable. She new exactly what to say to me, my husband and parents to reassure us about our plans. She was extremely attentive and always got back to me right away (even when my wedding was a year away). She had a way about her that kept everyone calm. I had a big vision for my wedding that included many little details and parts and she somehow understood it and provided me with incredible ideas. On the day of my wedding she was so professional. I'm not sure if anything went wrong that day, but if it did I have no idea about it. I am someone who is typically late, however, she kept me on time so subtly that I never felt overwhelmed. My wedding day looked spectacular. I wish we could do everything all over again because I miss it so much! We really enjoyed getting to know Liz and hope to stay friends! I highly recommend her and wouldn;t pick any other vendor for the job!
Liz and her team went above and beyond at every step in our wedding planning and on the day of. Liz is such a gem of a person and made all of our stresses fade knowing that we had her on our side. Her recommendations for vendors, design elements, and flow of the day allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams. She was patient, flexible, professional, communicative and a joy to work with. Having someone help you on the most special day of your life is very much about trust and Liz was exactly what we hoped for, and more!
When we were starting to plan our wedding, we had no idea where to start or how to effectively make sure that everything got done in the time that we needed. We searched for wedding planners and decided on Liz from Elegant Aura, and we definitely made the right choice. Liz is a spectacular planner and made sure that everything was kept on track for the planning process, she helped us every step of the way and also recommended many of the vendors that we ended up using. On top of all that, she is a very sweet and caring person and never got frustrated throughout some of the more stressful periods of planning. On the wedding day, she and her assistant made sure that everything went perfectly. All our guests were gushing over how much they loved the wedding and we literally could not have done it without Liz. There is no need to look any further - she gets an A+ from us in every possible regard and we will not hesitate to recommend her to everyone we know.
I was not completely convinced that I needed a wedding planner when I first started planning my wedding. After getting further into my planning adventure, I decided it may be beneficial and started researching. After speaking with a few planners, I decided on Elizabeth Quill (Liz) with Elegant Aura and it was the best decision of my entire wedding planning journey.
After our initial meeting, I instantly felt more calm and confident about my wedding. This trend continued throughout the following year. Liz met with me whenever I needed and answered all emails usually within minutes! When I felt like I was getting a little crazy, she would reassure me. When I needed help making decisions, she was there with sound advice. I ended up using her recommendations for hair, makeup, florist, and DJ and they were all FANTASTIC! She always made sure I was on track with the planning timeline and helped me manage the budget throughout the process.
The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Liz and Olivia coordinated all of the vendors, worked wonderfully with the venue manager, and were there for me whenever I had questions. If there were any issues, I was certainly not aware of them. From my eyes, they day went off without a hitch thanks to Liz and Olivia.
Words cannot express how grateful I am for Elegant Aura!
Liz was so helpful from the day she began planning with us to the moment she helped the last guest get on the bus to leave the reception. Her calm and professional attitude helped us relax and enjoy the day since we knew everything was in good hands. Planning an event for 180 guests with numerous vendors is no easy task but the wedding was perfect and we can't thank her enough for everything she did
Liz is by far the best wedding coordinator around! My husband, Tyler, and I can definitely say our wedding was perfect because of her. As a little girl I always dreamed of my big day and what I wanted it to look like. I simply told her a few details about what I wanted and she took those ideas and ran with them. Liz was always 50 steps ahead of me with wedding decoration ideas, back up plans, everything! She made our wedding day everything I dreamed of and more. Two months after our wedding day and I am still blown away by how perfect everything at our wedding turned out! I would absolutely recommend Elegant Aura to anyone that is planning a wedding. You will not be disappointed, that's for sure.
From the moment I talked with Liz on the phone and then met her in person, I knew that she and Elegant Aura would be just what we needed: someone with wonderful ideas and a calm, composed manner to soothe any jangled nerves on our daughter’s wedding day. As my husband and I were going to be traveling out of the country for 5 months just prior to the wedding, we needed someone who could work with us more than 9 months in advance and primarily on the wedding day as a Day Of Coordinator. And the wedding would be held in our backyard in MA while our daughter and her fiancée lived in AZ. We needed someone who could see any problems with the planning and identify any forgotten or omitted tasks. We also needed someone who was creative with a wealth of ideas and experience.
Creativity AND an attention to detail is what Liz and her company provided us. For example, I had bought a 4x4’
sateen fabric in hunter green, one of the colors of the day. On the day of the wedding, I offered the fabric to Liz to use however she wanted. She chose to use it on the 10 person white table clothed head table to outline the area where the bride and groom would sit. It was very effective and added distinction to the head table. Another example, when we met with Liz two months before the wedding she and Olivia came with a three ring binder with tabs and all the pertinent papers organized. Liz could quickly find the contract or email that she was looking for.
In short, Liz was at all times diplomatic and professional. She exceeded our expectations in every way. It was such a joy to have Liz with us on my daughter’s wedding day.
My husband and I wanted to share with any potential parties who are considering working with a wedding planner or any event that requires organizational skills in order to maximize their ease and comfort for an important event. For my husband and I, it was our wedding. After an exhaustive search for someone to plan and coordinate our wedding we chose Elizabeth, better know to us as Liz Quill of Elegant Aura. My husband and I wanted our wedding held at the Wequassett Resort and Golf Club in Massachusetts. We are both out of state residents so the role of a wedding planner became one of our most important tasks to engage. After an exhaustive search we selected Liz. The expectations for Liz was a very daunting task. However, we placed our trust in her hands and gave her a list of our needs. With minimum direct involvement, Liz performed everything perfectly. Liz manged airline arrangements from all over the nation, reserved rooms for all of our guests and manged invitations and their responses. She also selected multiple venues and the highest quality providers in the area for flowers, photography, invitations, bakery and special menus. Liz maintained an on going line of communication with me and also with all of our guests, since many were coming cross county. My husband and I were more than pleased with the outcome and expectations we had. With Liz at the helm we had not one issue. What my husband and I valued the most about Liz was her ubiqutous value. She never left us during the entire three days our guest were at the resort. Our wedding was both elegant and beautiful from all avenues. We highly recommend Elegant Aura (Liz) for any event that requires the highest level of professionalism, Carol and Joe.
Liz came highly recommended from another well-known service provider to us. After our first visit with her, we selected Liz as a wedding planner for our daughter’s wedding this summer for two events: a Friday evening Indian Mandhava ceremony and Saturday afternoon cross-cultural wedding ceremony in Lincoln, MA. The key was that she would be able to work with us effectively as we reside in New York area.
Liz is an ultimate professional. She is a well-experienced wedding/event planner with good connections in Boston area. Her experience includes planning for varied cultural celebrations. She presents herself well and provides sound input on various issues that always arise in such events including those events held at private venues. Her follow-up is on target. Given her success, experience, and knowledge of Boston area, she is extremely well organized, responsive and works cooperatively with all service providers, while keeping clients’ needs as a priority. We appreciated her leadership in coordinating logistics with other service providers. Without repeating, I echo many qualities as indicated in the review below, notably her honesty, her integrity and her priority/vision to make this event a successful celebration. She stitched the various parts of the mosaic events so beautifully that all of us enjoyed the celebrations without any interruptions or hiccups! Her assistant never once flinched at what was being asked of her. We are appreciative for everything Liz did in pulling together this 2-day celebration, and that will stay with us for a long time!
Olivia and Liz did a great job working through all of the details with us to make sure that the day went smoothly. They helped us double-check a lot of our plans, set up itineraries for our vendors, and kept in contact with those vendors as our needs changed. They were only Day-of planners for us, so most of the vendor selection and similar work was on us; they smoothly transitioned into our planning in the spring and helped us complete the wedding in the summer. Olivia was extremely helpful on-site for the rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony/reception; her assistant Julia was also helpful when called upon. Thank you for your hard work and enthusiasm throughout the process! -Evan and Cori

We truly enjoyed working with you both. We love when couples plan their weddings on their family's property, and your grandparents land is breathtaking! Thank you for your kind words, we were grateful to be a part of your wedding day! ~Liz &...
Olivia
When we met with Liz for our first meeting she asked us what we wanted the theme of our wedding to be. We agreed that we wanted our guests to just have fun! Our big day rolled around and it was everything we could've hoped for. So personal and absolutely fun!! So many of our guests continue to tell us that our wedding was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. Liz thoroughly understood our vision and brought it all to life. My husband and I were so relaxed and didn't feel like there was a single detail that we needed to stress over. We literally just showed up to the best party we could've ever attended! We are both so grateful that Liz was there bring our special day to life.
Response from the Vendor on 09/06/2017
Your wedding had so many thoughtful and unique touches, it was an honor to help bring it all together! Yours was the first wedding we've done where the only lighting came from votive candles and fairy lights. It worked and looked so romantic!...
Thank you for your lovely words! ~Liz
Liz from ElegantAura was amazing with the amount of work she did in helping us find the appropriate vendors, working with various vendors during work hours, getting us the best options, and being on top of things in terms of wedding timeline needs. She was great in helping us figure out small details, like how to phrase our wording on invites, sensitive emails, and wedding programs. Liz knew who to contact and was well-acquainted with how the industry works in terms of price tags, services, and typical service time needs. She was also very honest when it came to evaluating vendors that were not great for what we were looking for. Liz was very accommodating with communication time and methods, especially with planning in the winter when we had a few virtual meetings over the internet. We gave her a short timeline to worth with, but she came out and handled it seemingly effortlessly.
Where do I start. Liz was magnificent. My perfect day and dream wedding was able to be achieved with the help of elegant Aurora. Wedding planning is not my thing but LiZ is a master. My vision was scattered but she was able to paint my picture and bring it to reality. I was one of those brides that had to push my wedding from July to May after everything had been booked but LiZ still managed to make it happen. Not only changing the date but now the venue had to be changed and she handled everything so smoothly with no pressure and I felt confident in every step. Liz was with my fiancé and myself for 5 months. She was attentive and soon came to feel like family. I'd call her and annoy and she would answer every call and answer every question very responsively. I am so sad we can't use her and our time is now passed with a LiZ but she has left an imprint on me and on my special day. If you want to the most amazing wedding this woman is the expert. She will work with your budget and knows the best people to meet the needs of any bride. She stood by my side every step of the way, I am so happy.
Response from the Vendor on 05/09/2017
To my beautiful bride in blue! Thank you so much for your kind and lovely words! It was absolutely my pleasure working with you and your fiancé. I was honored to play a part of your wedding day, and thrilled to know you felt your vision came...
true. Please know that you never annoyed me, I enjoyed every step of the way! You're the sweetest couple and I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness! Beijos ~ Liz
I'm now the happy wife of a wonderful man. I picked Elegant Aura about two years ago as a full service planner. I have been extremely impressed with Liz. Most importantly, she kept me happy and sane during the stress of wedding planning. Liz handles pressure like a pro. She is calm, patient, direct, and always professional. I found her to be very easy to get along with. She is organized and listens to her client's needs. She was accommodating when we needed to change plans. We had some difficult family to deal with the last week of the wedding, and Liz was a huge source of support and handled the issues professionally and acted as a buffer for us. Our wedding was perfect and our friends and family can't stop talking abut how wonderful it was. Thanks, Elegant Aura!
My husband and I had our wedding this past August and we can hardly put into words how happy we were with Elegant Aura, and specifically with Liz. We were a little overwhelmed by the who process so we hired her for full planning (which is so totally worth it!) She is the most caring and attentive person. We interviewed several Boston area wedding planners and Liz was the most genuine, honest and creative one. She had so many incredible ideas for our wedding, but was also willing to step back and listen when I had ideas or felt strongly about a detail. She was so committed to us, always responding with an impeccable attention to detail, and sending us great ideas along the way. Our wedding was beautiful and perfect and so much credit for that goes to Elegant Aura. Liz took the time to know us as a couple and for that we had a wedding that truly reflected who we are as a unit and as individuals. Thank you Elegant Aura for bringing dreams to life we didn't even know we had!
The best decision we made while planning our wedding was, in general, getting a wedding planner. The best decision, in particular, was working with Liz.
We had a great time working with Liz to plan our July 2016 wedding outside of Boston. We had some unique challenges; we live about 10 hours away and had to plan almost the entire thing via emails and phone calls. Liz was a consummate professional; she knew the terrain, understood what we were looking for, and linked us up with vendors who were able to realize it. Videographer with a drone? Yep. Ethically-sourced chocolate fountain? Check. Matching black Suburbans? No problem.
Liz helped manage expectations, was a diplomat with our families, and was air-traffic-control on the big day. Could not have been happier with her work!
There is no way to describe Liz and her amazing talents other than to say she is the best by far. From the time we met I knew that she was going to be the planner for me. She is personable and has a calming presence about her. My husband and I hired Liz as a "Partial Coordinator” and it was perfect for our small wedding. She had the best suggestions for vendors and I absolutely loved her style! Liz helped me create a design for the day that was magical. Our guests are still talking about the wedding and calling it the best, most organized wedding they have ever been to - and it was! Thank you Liz for helping to make my wedding day absolutely perfect!
My now-husband and I debated whether we needed a wedding planner when we were first thinking about our wedding and, boy, am I glad we decided to go with Liz and her team at Elegant Aura! Liz literally saved our wedding day (and our sanity) when we ended up having to change venues 3 months before our wedding. While my now-husband and I were freaking out about finding a new venue, Liz stayed calm and managed to calm us down as well. Not only that, but she found us several good options on such short notice and we were able to find a new venue that worked out better than the first. Liz is everything that you want in a wedding planner- organized, creative, knowledgeable, and so willing to go above and beyond to make your wedding everything you've dreamed it would be. She was great about accommodating our schedules with both of us having full-time jobs, such as always being willing to have phone calls with us at 8 o'clock at night. By the end of wedding planning, Liz knew our personalities and taste so well that she would send us ideas about decor that were so spot on and we never would have thought of ourselves. Liz made it so we could relax and just enjoy ourselves on our wedding day, knowing that she was taking care of everything behind the scenes and that she wouldn't let anything fall through the cracks. If you're looking for a wedding planner, or are wondering if you should hire one, you will not be sorry that you decided to work with Elegant Aura; They are worth every penny!
We cannot say enough about Liz and Elegant Aura! When we first started planning our wedding, we didn't think we would hire a professional planner. But as we got closer to the big day, we realized how much we needed to do and got completely overwhelmed, so we wanted someone who could guide us along the way and help us iron out all the details. Liz was amazing to work with. She was incredibly responsive, listened to what we wanted, and made the last few months of planning as smooth as can be! She helped us find some of the vendors that we still needed, and was willing to coordinate with the vendors we had already hired. We were also so happy to have someone there the day of to help us with last minute details. She kept the ceremony and reception running smoothly and according to the timeline. All in all, we are so happy that we decided to work with Liz. She helped give us the day of our dreams, and we would highly recommend her!
Liz was amazing! Everything you'd ever want in a wedding planner. Needless to say, I had the perfect wedding. All guests commented on how well planned and organized it was, and it was all thanks to Liz. They are the absolute best!!
We were beyond thrilled with our decision to work with Liz as a month of coordinator for our wedding. She helped us achieve our vision and was incredibly helpful providing suggestions, ideas and support along the way. From the moment we hired her, Liz jumped in with with incredibly detailed support to help us get all our ducks in a row. She then followed up on multiple ideas we had mentioned, and helped us to navigate a web of complex vendor relations and details we didn't even know we had to plan for. She helped us manage a very last minute weather-related change which had several implications, and helped stay on top of the so many details leading up to the event. At the event, she helped us stay on target and we knew we were in great hands! Most importantly, she was calm, enthusiastic and supportive at each step of the way. We were really impressed by Liz and her team, and we whole heartedly recommend her to all future clients. I'm confident that Liz and her team can handle the full range of wedding styles and bring warmth, grace and calmness to all brides/grooms planning and participating in their big day. Huge huge thanks to her!
We hired Liz to help plan our daughters wedding held on 9/2/16. We originally hired Liz as a "Month of Management" but quickly changed it to a "Partial Coordinator". This was a very wise decision. Though the wedding was small, there were lots of details involved. I wish I could adequately explain what an amazing job Liz did. The wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception were all stunning. It was a perfect day!
Liz listened carefully to what we envisioned and executed it perfectly. Liz is quick to respond to emails and phone calls and is extremely organized. Liz was always eager to help - even if it was something that was not on her list of duties stated in the contract. We changed the location of the outdoor cocktail reception 4 days before the wedding due to weather concerns. Liz handled everything and it was was beautiful.
Liz is such a gracious and kind person. She truly wants you to have the wedding you dream of and will do whatever it takes for it to happen.
Response from the Vendor on 09/08/2016
I feel very honored and grateful to have had the pleasure of working with you all. Even small weddings take a lot of thought and care and I appreciate your trust in me to make sure your daughter's wedding was exactly what she envisioned. Than...
k you for your sweet words and support! ~Liz, Elegant Aura
My husband and I feel so lucky that we found Liz to be our wedding planner. We saw her glowing reviews online and then heard from a trusted friend in the wedding industry who seconded the praise. And our experience with Liz lived up to all of it.
We hired Liz to plan our Friday rehearsal dinner from start to finish, and to be our "month-of" planner for Saturday wedding day. Her services for both events were stellar.
Here are some of the wonderful things about Liz:
-She is very smart and organized. I barely took notes when we talked, because I could tell early on that Liz remembered and kept track of every decision we made and all the information we shared with her.
-She thinks of everything. Liz anticipated issues and questions we never would have thought of on our own, gave us ample time to think about them, and was good at suggesting and brainstorming solutions.
-She's easy to schedule meetings with, and she responds promptly and fully to e-mails.
-She can "run with it" if you need her to, but she will also flag all the decisions that need to be made well in advance. If you want to be very involved in choosing your backyard lighting, she'll send you lots of options. If you want to say, "please take the flowers from here, we're sure you'll pick something great," she can do that too (and she will pick something great!)
-The vendors that she suggested for our Friday dinner were all excellent (and if there were any hiccups, we didn't know about them, because Liz was coordinating everything so wonderfully!) And she was able to step in very smoothly as "month of" coordinator with all the vendors we'd already chosen for Saturday.
-It's always your vision and your happiness that is Liz's priority. I never felt we were being talked into anything, or that we were being urged to fit someone else's idea of what our wedding should be. It was all about what would make us and our guests most comfortable and happy.
Both our Friday night and Saturday events unfolded beautifully. Throughout the weekend, I could completely relax and be present for this special time with our family and friends, knowing that Liz had everything moving smoothly. We had the most wonderful weekend, and are so grateful for everything Liz did to make it happen.
Response from the Vendor on 06/27/2016
Thank you so much for your kind words! We feel lucky to have been a part of your wedding weekend. It was such a pleasure working with you both. We love when couples plan and have a unique vision of their wedding day that totally compliments ...
their personality. And we especially love it when couples take their guests' comfort and experience into consideration when creating a fun and memorable day. You were very thoughtful when planning how each element would fit into the day.
All the details you included truly spoke to you as a couple and for anyone who didn't know you, they found out quickly how kind, compassionate and quirky you are! I applaud your perseverance in finding ways to have the wedding you wanted and making sure everyone felt included.
Your wedding will go down in Elegant Aura's history as the most romantic and elegantly-whimsical wedding to date! Thank you for allowing us to be there and to share in the joy of your wedding weekend.
~Elegant Aura
I worked with Liz to plan my 9/5/15 wedding. My mom and I were so lost at the beginning and we weren't really sure what steps to take or in what order so we decided that we should meet with a planner. As soon as we met with Liz we knew that we wanted to work with her. It is so easy to tell she loves what she does and she is always on top of the ball. She had everything mapped out since day one: what needed to be done in which month, and which vendors she thought would work best for us. My mom and I were extremely impressed by each vendor Liz introduced us to and we pretty much decided on the first person Liz would bring us to. She sent us a lot of information on possible vendors but I completely trusted her, and what ever her first choices were ended up being ours as well. At one point I became a little confused about what I wanted for my wedding - with all of the influences from Pinterest to magazines it happens- Liz met with me and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. She was constantly checking in to make sure I was not getting stressed or overwhelmed. As it got closer to the wedding I had a hard time attending meetings since my schedule was getting hectic with work and school. Liz asked me if I would allow her to make a few "executive decisions" on some stationary and other things. I completely trusted her so of course I said yes. I was so thrilled with everything she picked and I knew that I wouldn't have been able to thought of those ideas myself. Ultimately, I think Liz understood what I wanted more than I did. She was able to handle unorthodox ideas and requests and brought in everything we wanted.
When it was the actual day of the wedding I did not worry or stress at all. I didn't actually see Liz at all times but she keep things moving so well behind the scenes. Everything ran so smoothly I didn't have to think about anything except enjoying the day. No one asked me for anything, nothing was disorganized, I got to do exactly what I wanted all day. Our family and friends have told us they haven't seen a wedding go as smoothly as ours.
I couldn't imagine having to go through the wedding process with anyone else or even by myself. Liz brought in so many little details that I never would have thought of, and have never seen at a wedding. My mom and I said from the very beginning and Liz was the best choice we made and she was completely worth it. We are constantly raving about her to everyone. I would not have had the wedding I had without her.
When we started the wedding planning process we had one major problem: Neither of us knew how to plan a wedding or even where to begin. My wife is from China and I am from the US. In American culture, the bride plans the wedding with her mom or Maid of Honor. However, in Chinese culture, the groom plans the entire wedding. Neither of us growing up thinking of planning a wedding or learning about it from friends that completed the process. Then, Liz of Elegant Aura came into our lives and saved the Big Day! We met Liz in May, 2015 and during that time told her that our wedding day was to be in the beginning of August, 2015. Not only was our wedding here in America in 3 months, but we were also planning a wedding in China that was to be a month after this one. The wedding in China required both of us to take a trip to China during the middle of planning the American wedding. Rather than trying to talk us out of the day for the American wedding, with it being only 3 months away, she told us that it can definitely be done and she would love to help us along the way. Liz seemed to be motivated by this challenge and excited to take it on with us. She gently noted that the shorter time frame would cause us to be busier during the wedding process, but it is honesty like this that makes Liz such a great wedding planner. The open communication makes her a part of the team and not just someone on the sidelines. Liz guided us along the process every step of the way and effortlessly incorporated our 2 week absence while we travelled to China into the overall plans. She helped push us to complete goals and always in a gentle and helpful way to keep us on track with our tight timeline. Wedding planning can be stressful at times, but planning a wedding together with my wife was an enjoyable experience giving us a chance to work and grow together. And when things got too difficult or overwhelming, we could always reach out to Liz with many, many questions, concerns or suggestions and she was always willing to help and offer her advice based on years of past experience, which was something we definitely lacked. Overall, hiring Liz as our wedding planner was a great choice and now we feel as if she has become a close friend!
We loved working with Elegant Aura. Hiring them was, hands down, the best decision my husband and I could've made for our wedding. Elegant Aura assisted us in creating a "concept" for our wedding, hiring vendors that matched that concept, and coordinating the day-of.
I could not have been happier with how responsive, detail-oriented, and organized they are! Their day-of timelines were literally down to the minute and helped the entire wedding party, all of the vendors, and the guests enjoy the experience so much more. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding perfect!!
My wedding would not have happened if it weren't for Elegant Aura. Liz and Alison are amazing! They were instrumental in our planning process, decision making, and keeping our sanity levels in check. They check every detail and make sure you get the wedding of your dreams. I can't imagine going through the process without them. They have so much experience and really make you feel comfortable. They are the best!
Liz created a not only a beautiful wedding for my daughter but our rehearsal dinner as well. The weekend was magical. Liz's attention to detail, her professionalism and her style made the experience stress free and stunning.
My husband and I had a great experience with Elegant Aura, specifically Liz who was our wedding planner. We would have been lost looking and deciding between all the vendors involved in a wedding, but Liz was there to recommend them, help contact them, and even attend the meetings with us. She has such a great rapport with so many vendors. Also, the flow of the wedding day when so smoothly. Liz helped coordinate all the vendors and transportation between church and reception. If anything went wrong, we did not know about it and all our family and guests had a great time, which was so important to us. Thank you Liz and Elegant Aura!
Elegant Aura helped my wife so much in planning our 2015 wedding. I was blown away when I saw how much care and attention to detail was put into our special event. Liz helped my wife with everything and helped to find an awesome balance between my wife's and my own personality. The day was perfect and we felt supported all along. We love Elegant Aura. They rock!
Elegant Aura made our day perfect from start to end! I world very closely with Liz Quill when planning my wedding. When I first met her, I was really impressed with Liz's knowledge and professionalism and knew right off the bat I wanted Elegant Aura to plan my wedding! From listening to my fears of everything I did not want to happen to helping me choose between different linens, Elegant Aura was there every step of the way to guide me in planning my wedding and enlighten me in areas where I had no clue what I was doing. Elegant Aura made wedding planning as easy and stress free as possible! After a couple of months of booking my venue, I suddenly began to find things about the space that I did not like. However, Elegant Aura linked me with some of the most amazing vendors, most of which I would have never have found on my own, who all came together to make the ballroom breathtaking! I also began to run into issues with the venue on how things would run the day of the wedding. Despite how much the venue did to want to do some things that I really wanted to have done, Liz advocated for me and made sure that everything we wanted was executed the day of. Despite the many clients they had, by the time we got close to my wedding, Liz had gotten to know me so well, that she could already predict what I would or wouldn't like! I felt as though I had known Liz for years, and from the bottom of our hearts, we will miss working with her and having her around! If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't choose any other wedding planner! Thanks to Elegant Aura, they transformed my ideas into reality and they made my wedding day from what seemed would be an absolute nightmare, into a stunning, dream come true! Thank you so much Elegant Aura, words can never explain how thankful we are that we met you and had the honor to work with you!
I am incredibly happy I booked Elegant Aura to help with planning our wedding, absolutely no regrets! I haven't been in too many weddings in the past, so I had no idea what I was doing as a bride - Elizabeth Quill helped me along the way and made things so much easier! I booked her for the month-of package, and it made a world of difference for me personally. Our wedding wasn't at a venue, it was outside on our family's land with limited resources (ex: didn't have running water) - so we had to plan out what supplies to bring, map out where all vendors should be, etc. It was a lot to think about and I was feeling very overwhelmed getting closer to the date, but Liz was great with offering up tips and advice on how to handle it all, as well as coordinating the schedule and everyone in our bridal party. She especially was very helpful on the day-of, keeping everything on track. The most helpful item she handled was handing out the checks we wrote out to our vendors the day-of. I personally am so happy that's one thing I didn't have to worry about so I could fully enjoy myself the entire night. I'd absolutely recommend Elegant Aura to any bride out there still thinking of hiring a wedding planner, totally worth the money!
It me a bit of convincing to explain to my fiance (now husband) that we really did need a wedding planner, but after the whole event went off without a hitch, he understood that Liz and her team at Elegant Aura made a world of difference. Since most brides are doing this for the first (and hopefully only) time, it's extremely helpful to have someone who knows what questions to ask, what seems weird or normal about a vendor contract, and how much things should cost. Liz knows all this and then some, and truly went out of her way to find vendors we loved and coordinate with them throughout our wedding planning. Right before the ceremony, Liz had come to get me from the car and delivered me to my parents who both walked me down the aisle. We were about to begin the procession with all eyes on us, and I realized my nose was running. Neither my mom or dad had a tissue with them, and I could exactly wipe it on my dress, so Liz miraculously produced a piece of fabric and saved the moment. That's just one example of the countless details and small little things she helped us accomplish. We had the best wedding ever and thank her immensely.
We LOVE Elegant Aura!! Liz was our planner and handled everything with grace, elegance and a big smile on her face. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, has great and creative ideas, complete grace under pressure and a beautiful eye for detail (so important on to have someone looking at every little thing on your wedding day). We had the best day and we owe so much of it to Elegant Aura. We couldn't have done it without them!! And we lived happily ever after!
Above and Beyond. Three words that describe Elizabeth Quill and her team at Elegant Aura.
Liz is the best. She embodies everything a wedding planner should be! Wedding planner, best friend, sister, and confidant, she has literally helped me with every single aspect of wedding (and life) planning. She is always available and always positive. She has answers and solutions to every possible question and problem a bride could ever have. She remembers things I forget. She keeps me organized and focused. Liz has a super awesome way of supporting my vision within our budget and taste. She gives encouragement and makes the overwhelming task of wedding planning not just manageable but fun! I am pretty sure she has other clients, but she makes me feel like my wedding is her only one! She literally makes you feel like a princess! Liz is like a beautiful young fairy god mother! I genuinely do not know what I would do without her! Everything went smoothly and perfect on our wedding day in Liz's hands! My one regret is not listening to all of her advice!!!

I hired Elegant Aura and had Liz for the Month of Wedding Management plan. When I hired Liz, I already had all my vendors chosen so I utilized her for scheduling, putting out some fires (which she did ever so graciously), and day of services. I am so glad I had Liz, because my venue isn't one of those "one size fits all" places and I basically had to do everything on my own- having Liz made things a lot easier. She is sweet, kind, and caring as well as professional and organized. She always answered my questions promptly and kindly even when towards the end I started to feel stressed and overwhelmed. I had a few issues with one of my vendors and Liz stepped in, dealt with the issues head on in an extremely professional manner, and basically advocated for me when I didn't feel like I could for myself. I loved working with her and she set up my wedding beautifully and just like I envisioned. I highly recommend her and only wish I had hired her right from the beginning!
I would recommend her to anyone and they are super nice and considerate ! They take care of everything and it certainly the best deal to get their full package :)
