Elegant Event Solutions

we could talk for hours like we were old friends! Here's the thing all brides need to know (and Rachael and Lisa are up front about it!), there are some things your wedding planner cannot do (I really do wish they could've created my guest list and seating chart for me LOL!)... but my goodness, the things they can do... I truly don't know how I'd have gotten through the wedding without them. Any time I felt the planning stress, they were there to talk me down. They always knew exactly what to say and would do anything they could to de-stress me (if it meant making calls, they'd do it. They even offered to talk to *less than easy to work with* family members for us!). From start to finish, they were there all along the way, helping us find, secure, and communicate with vendors. We had a second thought on one vendor and decided to cancel, Rachael and Lisa were more than happy to have that difficult conversation for me. They provided honest advice whenever I asked for it and were so personable and responsive throughout the process. It was obvious they were doing a lot of work for my wedding, but it became clear they were doing twice as much behind the scenes. The two weeks before my wedding, they rattled off a minute by minute wedding day timeline that had to have taken them months to create... I had NO CLUE that this timeline existed (and I'd be in BIG trouble if I was responsible for it)... My wedding day went seamlessly. If something went wrong, I still have no clue about it. When I woke up the morning after my wedding, all of my cards, gifts, decorations, wedding vail/shoes, etc were all neatly packed in a box right in our room... how they got there?! Rachael and Lisa. Oh and another perk, we used Lisa as our officiant and my goodness was our ceremony beautiful. It was so uniquely written for my husband and me, and had our guests laughing and crying at the same time. Ugh... I really will miss Rachael and Lisa!! I'd 100% recommend them to ANYONE in need of a wedding planner...

less questions, made sure I was on track with all aspects of planning, coordinated with all of my vendors to create the perfect timeline, met with me several times to make sure no stone was left unturned in the planning process and brought the wedding of my dreams to life. Their experience, expertise, knowledge, professionalism, level of detail, creativity, organization, and kindness was unmatched. Having these two on speed dial was a comfort and I walked into wedding weekend trusting that Lisa & Rachael had everything under control. On wedding day, they implemented the timeline to perfection, set up the venue to look incredible, made sure every detail throughout the night was executed to a T, and packed everything up in such a thoughtful way. Every vendor I talked to raved about these two and how easy they were to collaborate with. My husband and I felt like we were living a real life fairytale and every guest we talked to raved about everything. As a want-to-be planner myself, they gave me the freedom to plan the details and offered suggestion to bring everything to the next level. I cannot recommend Elegant Event Solutions enough. You will not be disappointed by these wonderful ladies. I want to plan another wedding so I can work with them again.

vided recommendations for me to think about and choose from. Her talent, expertise and her knowledge helped me sort through planning my wedding reception and thinking through how they the day should flow. We created and went through timelines checklists and always made modifications. I appreciated her independent thinking and creativity in my decorations and choices. She was my right hand in my wedding planning. I so much appreciated her sincerity, kindness and her friendship. My wedding planning came at a time when my Father passed away and I so much appreciated her support during that time. Lisa was amazing!! The day of my wedding, Lisa and her team was right there setting up my venue and keeping everything in order. They day ran perfectly and beautifully thanks to her and her team. You made my day very special and I could not do this without you!! I so much adore you and the love and support you provided me. You were always available and I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me! It was my absolute pleasure working with you and your team and helping make my most beautiful wedding day! Love, Catherine and Thomas M 04/30/2022

r in person until the wedding weekend, but she didn't make us feel that way! She is so detail oriented, organized, and very supportive. We had some issues with vendors, and Lisa was not afraid to stand up for us at all!!!! We really don't know what we would have done without her. Her assistant was also great during wedding day, as well as the serving staff we hired through her. Our families and guests enjoyed the team, and they really fit in well with our wedding! My husband even had a tear in his suit pants, and they so so quickly got sewing supplies and sewed it all up, without me even knowing or having to stress about it!! And we have the funniest picture to prove how well they handled it. I could not recommend this team more and I wish I knew more people getting married this year so I can send them Lisa's way. Lisa works so so so hard for her couples, and it truly does not go unnoticed! Thank you Lisa!!!

king for— though offered to give more at every turn— and I could not imagine our day without them. The BEST money we spent on our wedding, hands down. GET A COORDINATOR! GET EES!

to work with. They treat their clients like as if they’re their own family and that really means a lot!

uch stress off of my shoulders for any day of coordinating and planning.

step of the way. Lisa & Rachael truly made the planning process so smooth, & I don’t even know what I would have done without them on the day of the wedding. They knew my vision & they made sure everything was perfect for me. These ladies are selfless & trustworthy, & I can’t imagine having anyone else there on our big day! A HUGE thank you to Elegant Event Solutions!!

planning. They're worth it no matter how prepared you think you are, and will allow you to enjoy the day knowing that everything is in good hands.

time to chat with me. I would highly recommend elegant event solutions to anyone planning a wedding. There’s no way the wedding would’ve went so perfectly without their help and advice. Thank you to Elegant Event Solutions!!!!

honest with us, and offered great suggestions. The wedding was fabulous!! Lisa and assistant Christine kept proceedings running smoothly and even came to the rescue with needle and thread when the groom ripped his trousers! Do not hesitate to hire Elegant Event Solutions for your upcoming event.

planned but could not have imagined it any other way. We opted for Day Of assistance, which I'm sure with other companies would be fairly hands off and limited contact until closer to the wedding. Rachael and Lisa provided us with great insight and help along the way, I've never taken part in wedding planning so it was all new to me.

in keeping us organized and on track. Their task lists were to the point and cut out all of the things that we didn’t need. They helped us make sure that we were asking the right questions and helped us prioritize what was important and what wasn’t important. They even helped with the guilt of having to cut our guest list and helped prepare us for some of the tough conversations. Planning a wedding is hard work! Planning a wedding, canceling it and then planning another wedding in 2 months was crazy but we were so happy to have Rachael and Lisa to talk to and help us through it!!

o meet with Rachel and Lisa in person until the week of our wedding. They did a great job with communicating throughout the process and making sure they could help with anything possible and help guide us with any questions we had. As soon as we met in person I instantly felt that we were in good hands. Rachel and Lisa decorated the entire reception and ceremony and also made sure everything went smoothly during both. They adjusted to all of the last minute changes and added on hand sanitizer, mask, and glove stations(Thanks COVID). I completely trusted Rachel & Lisa with the decision of decor placement and everything was elegant and better than I could have imagined. They also cleaned up and organized everything after the night was over. We added on this service and it was the best decision so our families, bridal parties, and us (the bride & groom) were able to enjoy the rest of the night. Another bonus of using Rachel & Lisa was the decor rental they offer. It was another stress off of our shoulders to be able to use their decor and at a cheaper cost than buying your own. I cannot say enough good things about this mother/daughter duo! If you are looking for a day of coordinator, I would 100% recommend Elegant Event Solutions!

much more than simply day of coordinating. They assisted us with planning the whole day and made us consider things we otherwise never would've thought of. They helped create a full schedule for the day including hair and makeup. They confirmed with all our vendors in the week leading up and did so many 'above and beyond' things. We had a ceremony live stream and Rachael sent out the emails to guests and offered her own phone number for technical assistance. If you are considering a coordinator or even day of coordinator, please do it! You will not regret it!

with the planning were taken care of from months prior to the wedding all the way through the evening of. Thank you both again - you knocked it out of the park!

ing to need some extra help. Having Rachael work with us from beginning to end was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. The number one reason I can recommend working with Rachael is because she has already thought of things that you need for your wedding and you haven’t even booked her yet. She knows everything and anything there is to know about planning a wedding and brings that lifetime of knowledge and expertise with her everywhere she goes. She answered my questions before I asked them and was ready for anything. She even brought a travel sized steamer with her to steam all of our dresses the morning of the wedding which was an absolute life saver! Not only is Rachael an incredible professional, she is also extremely easy to work with and will fit right in with your bridal party and family. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors and helped to bring the whole day together flawlessly. She helped with everything from wading through confusing vendor contracts to making sure the name cards were placed just right at the reception. She took so much off of my shoulders which allowed me to relax and enjoy this once in a lifetime moment. It’s one thing to hope that something is getting done and a completely different thing to know you can put your total trust in someone to get the job done exactly how you would do it yourself and that’s what you can expect from Rachael. To summarize, if you are thinking about having a wedding planner for your wedding you NEED to talk to Rachael. After your first conversation with her you’ll know that you’ve found your person and that your wedding planning is off to the best start it could have.

extra set of hands who were on my side. The pep-talk, keeping the ceremony on-time, and assistance putting on my veil was well-worth the added expense in the budget. The photographer also did not have the most updated copy of the photo list request and Lisa was able to add the additional combinations so quickly! My mother was just so emotional the whole day that I couldn’t rely on her for help, so Rachel and Lisa really helped to support me through the afternoon! Thank you again!

weet and friendly throughout. We had a super DIY wedding which meant Rachael and her team had a lot of work to do on the day of including (but definitely not limited to) moving furniture, washing dishes, setting tables, coordinating the processional and doing any little thing we needed in a hurry. They arrived early and stayed late at the venue and all of our stuff was neatly packed up for us to grab the next day. Not a stone left unturned. They spoke to all of the people we were working with and communicated some much needed information we would not have known on our own. I could go on about how great working with Rachael was and I would recommend Elegant Event Solutions to any couple getting married in Pittsburgh.

harge of communicating with the venue on when they could deliver and pick up the chairs and made everything so easy.

nd were struggling with a couple vendors in the final weeks. We waited a little too long to get them involved, but they were amazing about getting all the information and reaching out to all of our vendors to get up to speed and help tie all the loose ends together. They even physically went down to vendor locations that weren't being too responsive. Everything came together perfectly, our wedding turned out amazing and they were definiely a huge reason why. Our only regret was we didnt reach out to them sooner! We would definitely recommend using them for your wedding planner needs!

uly saved the day with any possible item we could need! They helped keep my mom stress free and she was able to enjoy the day. Our wedding went off without any issues and I cannot say it would of happened without these two! Highly recommend them for any wedding services you need!!

et with us several times throughout the planning process and helped me to narrow down my “vision” when I was all over the place! They helped with referrals and suggestions for different wedding aspects and completely set up and tore down our whole venue. They also took over communication with our vendors a few weeks out, making sure we didn’t have to stress over any last minute details or have to deal with vendor communications on the week/day of. I admit that I am a control freak, and was nervous about handing over the reins to EES those last few weeks, but they did not disappoint! Everything and everyone was where they needed to be and they did everything possible to make our day absolutely perfect. I also think they are very reasonably priced for all that they do for you. Thanks again ladies!!! <3

made that dream happen!!! They picked up breakfast for us in the morning, set up our whole ceremony and my vision of our ceremony exceeded expectations!! My mom LOVED having them there. I seriously did not have to worry about a SINGLE thing. They even took our gifts from the card table up to our room and put in the safe for us!!! Seriously, the best money we spent for the wedding and I would recommend them! If I had to do my wedding again, they would be the first person I would book!!! 10 out of 5 stars!

idesmaid dresses, to providing me with spreadsheets to help organize my guest list and budget, even helping plan my bridal shower and bachelorette trip! But their help and guidance did not stop there. I had an idea for what I wanted my centerpieces to look like and Rachael literally made my vision a reality and handmade every single centerpiece! I also rented the gold chiavari chairs which completely transformed my venue and took it from great, to perfect. I never imagined I could have such an elegant wedding but I owe it 100% to Rachael and Lisa! Having them there on the day of my wedding as coordinators meant so much to me. They took care of everything down to the last little detail and ensured my day went as smoothly as possible. They are extremely detail-oriented, super professional, and it doesn't hurt that they are some of the sweetest and most kind women I have ever met. I CANNOT recommend Elegant Event Solutions enough!
