About this vendor
EFFORTLESS DESTINATION WEDDING PLANNING
Element Events is a boutique wedding planning studio specializing in thoughtful, creative and personality-driven weddings that authentically tell your story. I work closely with engaged couples to design meaningful celebrations with a focus on connection, innovation and fun.
Let’s be honest: wedding planning can be daunting! From scouting the perfect location to communicating with vendors and coordinating the day itself, I’m here to free up your time and provide a sense of calm amongst the crazy –I’ll take care of the nitty-gritty details so you can relax and relish in the moment.
I love working with adventurous couples who value quality, authenticity and natural luxury. I believe that no two couples are ever the same, and your wedding day should be a reflection of this. I specialize in designing heart-centered events that feel like an extension of you – packed with love, laughter and memorable moments you can look back on and cherish for a lifetime.
Above all, I thrive on building personal connections with each and every couple. Creating lasting relationships with my wonderful clients is what lights me up and inspires me.

Because I truly believe, if we’re not having fun – why are we doing this thing?!

Elizabeth is amazing! I am so grateful that Carmel Valley Ranch referred her to me. Elizabeth is very organized and helped create a magical wedding that was more beautiful than I c...
ould have imagined. She made the entire process fun and felt like having a great friend, but also an expert to talk with and help make decisions every step of the way. Elizabeth is very responsive and kept me on track with important deadlines and decisions. I was relaxed and able to enjoy my wedding weekend with Elizabeth taking care of everything. Our wedding was everything and more than I dreamed of. Everyone said it was the best, most magical wedding they had ever been to. The credit goes to Elizabeth and her attention to detail and creativity. She also has great vendor relationships and recommendations. In addition, Elizabeth helped with our rehearsal reception and post wedding brunch. It was an incredible and perfect weekend for us (the bride & groom) and all of our guests. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone planning a wedding or an event. We’re so thankful we had her by our side throughout the entire process and all of our wedding events. Elizabeth is fantastic to work with, she’s calming, organized, professional and so fun.
Elizabeth Ross is the best... She provided service above and beyond the call of duty. From taking our five kids on a hike to helping my dad find an extra place for us to stay over...
extra time in Breckenridge, she is more than willing to help. Elizabeth found us the most beautiful venues for our three-day event and even though I live in Chicago, I had no worry at all that she was on the ground to help with questions from the florist, caterer, cake baker, etc. she helped us find the best photographer when a family friend fell through. I could go on and on but if you are having a wedding in Colorado (and probably anywhere else) and you are looking for a laid-back, practical and inventive wedding planner, look no further than Element and Elizabeth Ross!
Elizabeth was fabulous to work with. I found her just a few months before my wedding when I was a stressed out mess from trying to plan it all on my own. She connected me with gr...
eat vendors and saw that every detail was executed to our plans. I really appreciated her experience and knowledge. She reminded me of so many things that never crossed my mind to consider or plan. When I asked, “What do people usually do?” she would give me the traditional answers, but she also had many other suggestions. She made sure the event was exactly what we wanted and tailored to our personalities and style. Best of all, she made sure our outdoor wedding and photo session went off without a hitch even with a horrible weather forecast.
My husband and I highly recommend Elizabeth as a wedding planner. She was knowledgeable, reliable and had a great head on her shoulders under any amount of pressure. Even my bridal...
party noticed how calm she was while we came across a few minor problems a couple of days before the wedding, and they were in awe of how efficiently and quickly she found solutions. Plus, everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding! It was so relaxed and carefree, which was definitely due to her immense amount of planning beforehand, and the fact that her mind is a steel trap for any small things that need to be remembered throughout the day. We cannot imagine a more perfect wedding without her.
Elizabeth is a star, both professionally and personally. She is wonderfully patient, organized, and sane with a great sense of humor. She's an out of the box thinker with excellent...
on the ground logistical skills. She has an impressive ability to juggle all the elements, connect all the dots and smooth over the inevitable rough spots. Best of all, we were able to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day knowing everything would be managed perfectly in her hands. We had a beautiful wedding, exactly as we imagined and I can't imagine having done it without her!
My wedding was in Breckenridge in July 2011, however we are from Cincinnati, Ohio so I knew planning would be a little difficult. It was stressful until I found Elizabeth at Elemen...
t Events, then wedding planning became fun and relaxed. My fiance and I flew to Breckenridge 5 mths before our wedding for a week to meet with Elizabeth and try and find time to ski. However, Elizabeth managed to work everything out we met with vendors and had plenty of time to ski. The next five months were the least stressful because of Elizabeth. So when we flew out there 3 days before our wedding my fiance and I were so relaxed and we were able spend all of our free time with our 70 guests. The day of the wedding was so calm and so much fun, and we owe it all to Elizabeth! She was never pushy or in my way but always there if I needed anything! She recommended the best vendors who made our wedding so memorable. I would recommend Element Events for anyone who wants the best memories and least stressful for their event. Elizabeth was amazing and planned every detail, she met us once before our wedding and knew us well enough to know what vendors we would like. Element Events made our dream wedding happen!!
