Elite Events Reviews
Share your thoughts with other couples
I don't know how to even begin! Elite Events (Erica & Shayna) were absolute miracle workers, trusted advisors and genuine great people to collaborate with when it came to our Big Day. I had a brand new venue (private historic home) and Erica sa...
w my vision right away and did everything to make it come true - it was super complicated (think we had like 25+ vendors), we were straddling two cultural heritages, AND we had to basically bring in everything and build essentially from scratch - but Erica was always calm, cool and collected, even when I myself was not! She and Shayna are super creative, always see new "problems" as obstacles to be tackled and I really appreciated their enthusiasm and commitment. I was also planning this from out of town and had to fly in to Toledo on these whirlwind planning weekends and they were always available and happy to be with me for hours on end! So, needless to say, the process leading up to the wedding would have been enough to write them a rave review, but the Day Of Coordination absolutely blew me away. They were on top of everything, I never had to worry (and that my friends is priceless!) and I can't even tell you how long they stayed after the Reception was over to organize things for us to pick up the next day (!!!). It would have been a disaster without them! So aside from their obvious strengths of professionalism, communication skills, creativity and vision, they are also just two wonderful human beings that I hope I stay in touch with forever! I have already recommended Erica/Shayna & Elite to a friend getting married in the area who has hired them! I couldn't recommend them any higher to anyone reading this review, you will be so happy you have them on your side! I can't wait for an excuse to work with them again :-)

Hi Lindsay! It was so great to work with you as well. Having a communicative photographer always helps the day, not to mention the photos were beautiful! Same here, lady! Wishing you a wonderful rest of 2019!
Sometimes the circumstances and timeline are ideal —and sometimes they are not. Erica did a great a job providing advice and options while having to consider multiple scenarios. She made the planning easier and thought about the details and th...
e finishing touches I wanted to include as well. The day of the event, Erica and Shayna helped pull the event together and made sure Things ran smoothly. The atmosphere they created was perfect!

Heather, It was so nice to work with you on University of Toledo's Law Review's 50th Anniversary! I know you had hoped for a larger RSVP count so that we could have had the event in the West Lobby. However, everything turned out beautifully, a...

As a bridal makeup artist, I frequently work with many wedding professionals. Elite Events is by far one of the BEST planners I have ever worked with! Not only does this company go above and beyond for their clients but also for the other weddi...
ng professionals working alongside them. They are friendly, organized, and have a very warm calming presence- which is so crucial to have on such an important day!
Before my very first wedding with them, Erica was in touch to provide me with the timeline, a map of the venue, parking instructions, and asked if there was anything she could help with. I was already impressed with how helpful and friendly she was, so I knew the wedding day would be wonderful.
On the wedding day, my expectations were exceeded. Shayna greeted me at my car and escorted me to the room I'd be working in. This was especially convenient because the location was a historic venue that I had never visited before (with SO many floors and rooms). I would have easily been lost without her!
Throughout the morning, Erica and Shayna checked in often to see that everyone had everything needed and provided updates on how things were progressing with the event space. These ladies were truly on top of things and I could tell by their smiles that they really love their jobs as well. The bride and bridal party were able to relax and enjoy the getting ready process because they knew that everything was taken care of and running smoothly. Their level of attention to detail is truly incredible and rare. I absolutely loved my experience with them and cannot recommend them enough!

ar I took on new work projects and time got away from me. I emailed Erica about if Elite Events did more than just weddings. She said Absolutely we will try and do whatever you have in mind. I told her my daughter was in love with Taylor Swift and she was turning 10. So not to “kid” like but something her and her friends could enjoy. Elite Events pulled together the most fantastic party! It was beyond what I even envisioned. They set up. They tore down. I didn’t have to do anything but watch my daughter smile for hours on end. It was perfect! From a Polaroid station to glitter tattoos and a milkshake bar! They even took care of ordering the cake. 5+ stars! Elite Events will always be recommended and I will definitely be using them again! Thank you!

e! The attention to detail and and enthusiasm Erica has we just couldn’t find anywhere else in the Toledo area (and we met with several!). Erica was able to show us past events she coordinated and they were all just beautiful! Immediately we knew we could trust she would do an outstanding job...and that she did! Everything happened just as my daughters wanted it and Erica also ensured it was what THEY wanted not what other influencers wanted. We received so many compliments from the ceremony decor to the lighting to the escort cards. All involved in the wedding truly got to enjoy the day and not worry about 1 thing. We LOVE Elite Events and will absolutely use Erica and Shayna again!

Thank you, Andrew! Working with you and Morgan was a dream. You definitely prioritized guest experience and it was an honor to make that happen for you. Its always the best feeling to hear how stress free our clients were the day-of!
A coordinator for your big day is a must have - and an even bigger must have is Elite Events! My now husband and I are huge planners and super organized- therefore we were initially skeptical about the need for a coordinator. I will be the fir...
st to tell you, that we were dead wrong.
Elite events handled everything - from dealing with calming down parents on the order of walking in to the ceremony, to wrangling all 16 members of the bridal party for every single minute of the day, to making an emergency alcohol run when we were running low, to making sure all 11 of our vendors were on the same page about every single detail for weeks and months leading up to our wedding day.
The best part about Elite Events is that they are very much about personal connections and relationships, and we were more than a paycheck or a phone number to them. We met several times leading up to our wedding which allowed us to have 100% confidence in each other to gain our common goal of making our day nothing short of unforgettable. Because we had met several times, they understood every single one of our intricacies, and knew our biggest worries, which is what puts them in a different league of their own compared to other, larger companies.
If you are thinking of hiring a coordinator, you absolutely should. And you should look no further than Erica and Shayna at Elite Events.
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2019
Carol! You and Bryan were incredibly sweet to work with. You were so incredibly organized, so it is truly a testament that you found our services so valuable even when you were SO on top of things (seriously, most organized couple ever!). I lov...
ed working with you both and am filled with gratitude to have been a part of your big day! Trust and connection are our number one goal to ensure that we can do the best job ever for you. Have so much fun in Thailand!
All I can say is Erica and Shayna are lifesavers.
We meticulously planned for months and had every detail and back up plan thought about. We debated having a coordinator back and forth and finally a friend convinced us. I thought I had it all...
covered but my new wife finally convinced me.
Well I have never been so wrong in my life. Pretty much all of our plans failed as it rained all day, in-laws got heated, and we ran out of alcohol just to name the big things. I would mention a potential problem to one of them and it would be solved or mediated or communicate before it became a big problem.
We woke up with everyone having an amazing time, all of our stuff in the right places, and no one knowing anything was out of place the whole day.
You can think you have everything handled, but Erica and Shayna are the perfect voices of reason to mediate between family drama, organizing all the vendors as plans are changing, or fixing all the little things that will never go simply.
I promise you need them. They allowed me to enjoy the day the way everyone told me to.
Thank you so much Elite Events. You saved us.

or, so this provides so much insight. Your spreadsheet skills were incredible and you had everything so perfectly laid out. With live events, things come up especially when there are so many moving parts, so I feel so privileged you entrusted us with taking over all of what you had meticulously planned. Thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of your day. We are so honored!
My husband and I used Elite Events for our baby shower a couple weekends ago. We live in Wisconsin and the shower was in Michigan so we needed all the help we could get. She helped us from start to finish, theme, design, food, rentals, games, e...
verything!! This is my second time using this company, and I will never throw a party without Erica and her team. She is professional, experienced, and knows exactly what you need to make a party " the best of the year". My guests are still talking about their experience. Thank you Elite and Erica!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/23/2019
Brittany,
Thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of your baby shower! It was such a fun celestial vibe, it was honestly a dream to create! It was honor to help celebrate your family shower you with love and can't wait to meet Ms. Mila.
Erica was amazing to work with for my sister's wedding. She went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that the day was perfect. Using her as the wedding coordinator was the best choice my sister could have made for her wedding. Erica ...
made sure that everything went smoothly and that there were no bumps along the way. Using her talented services is a worthwhile investment that you will be grateful for. She truly loves her job and wants to make your special day unforgettable. Hire her!!! You'll be so happy you did. I can't wait to work with her again.

Erica is AMAZING! From her patience and understanding to her empathy and ability to accommodate; she is the epitome of excellence! I contacted Erica to assist in planning my Bohemian themed baby shower that was being held at the end of July. ...
After expressing a few details wit Erica, she took my vision and ran with it--in a great way! I couldn't have made my vision come to life without her highly creative expertise and knowledge of this particular, and my favorite style. From the moment I laid eyes on the vision board she sent me I was sold and extremely excited about planning my shower with Elite Events, but... "life happens" sometimes and it happened to me pretty abruptly. There was no push-back or pressure from Erica . She completely understood and was even willing to make modifications to my quote. Unfortunately, I still had to cease planning my shower with Erica and Elite Events, but it goes without saying that if the circumstances were different, I KNOW my shower would have turned out exactly how I envisioned it (if not better). I would highly recommend Elite Events to anyone looking for a planner in the Toledo area. I definitely plan to work with them in the future as I was provided unparalleled customer service even after I had to call off my event. That speaks volumes to me! Thanks, Erica!
I worked with Shayna for all of my Save the Date and Invitation needs - she made my crazy ideas come to life!! My hope was to have my save the dates set the mood of the entire wedding and she did JUST that! She was a joy to work with and so cre...

I don't know where to even begin with this review. My wedding was perfect. These Ladies are worth every penny. They made the wedding planning process fun and I was not stressed at all during my engagement. They did an amazing job with my décor ...
and brought my exact vision to life. The wedding resembled Nick and I for we are huge Detroit Tiger fans and the wedding had some hints of that in our décor. I've had so many say that my wedding the prettiest and best wedding they have ever been too. The day was so organized and flowed perfectly. My husband gave was completely against us hiring them but during our rehearsal when he witness how Kati kept everyone in line he was happy that we hired them. Then while we were eating dinner he complimented them on how beautiful every thing turned out and again said he was glad we hired them. The flowers were so gorgeous and Sharon was amazing and sprayed our flowers continuously before my ceremony for it was outside and she didn't want any of the bouquets to welt. Brooke did such an awesome job at designing the seating chart to look like a Tiger Player's rooster as well as designing our table name tags. Every email was answered promptly. I promise as a recent former Bride that if you let go and let these ladies work their magic you won't be sorry. Give them your ideas and them run with it and every thing will turn out perfect :) There is honestly not one thing I would go back and do over. I do wish I could go back an relive the whole day over for it was just fabulous!!!!

I didn’t realize how much I leaned on them until the weekend finally arrived after over a year and a half of planning. I couldn’t count how many times I heard from family and friends in the wedding and thought to myself—I don’t know what I would do without them. From keeping our bridal party on time and making sure everything and everyone were organized to the moments I almost lost it walking down the aisle—Kati McDougle and team filled the air with serenity.
Our wedding day was truly better than I had even imagined. Thank you Elite Events!
I am a perfectionist to the last T. When I began planning our wedding, like most brides, I started with magazines. In The Knot Ohio 2012 Fall issue I fell in love with a featured wedding planned by Elite Events from Toledo, Ohio, so I contacte...
d Nikki Wolfe, owner and lead designer of the Elite Events and set up a time to meet in person. From the moment that I walked into their studio I knew that I had found my planners. I met with Nikki and Kati, event coordinator and manager, and we hit it off immediately. They are young, creative, full of event expertise and open to any ideas. They cater to whatever your needs may be. I met with them several times in person over the course of 9 months, but we did most of our communicating over e-mail. They provided me with a custom ‘mood board’ once I gave them a good feel for what I wanted for the wedding. Nikki also created custom save-the-dates, formal invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, and programs for the wedding. Elite Events also has an in-house florist Sharon who creates the most extraordinary arrangements, they are truly pieces of art. The entire wedding weekend was full of amazing details that brought my vision to life. The weekend went off without a hitch (or at least not any that I knew of!) The ladies of Elite Events handled anything and everything that was thrown their way so that we could enjoy ourselves on our special day. My husband and I keep saying that we wish that we could live the weekend over because it truly was the best ever. Because of Elite Events, my wedding was PERFECT!
Elite Events (Nikki, Melissa, Kati, and Sharon) made planning my wedding an enjoyable, stress-free experience. I am somebody who gets anxious about details and making everything perfect, so I knew that I needed an event planner to help coordina...
te my wedding so that I would not get lost in the stress of the big day. Elite Events was the perfect solution. From the first meeting, I knew the ladies would do their best to ensure we would have the wedding that was just perfect for us. Elite Events provided us with a fantastic list of recommended vendors, a budget that met our needs, linen ideas and products (which we LOVED!), flower design and set-up (BEAUTIFUL), and excellent day-of coordination. I can not express how much stress Elite Events eliminated from my life. I am forever grateful that Elite Events not only made my wedding look beautiful, but they allowed me to enjoy the entire planning process and live in the moment of the wedding day! Simply put, Elite Events is AWESOME!

As I was planning my daughter's 1st birthday party, I had no idea what direction to go in. Not being a creative person or one to that makes decisious quickly, I turned to Nikki's professional opinion to help me get started. I just wanted to ge...
t some ideas for the party, not have her plan the party for me. We sat down for a one hour consult that went beyond my expectations. Nikki provided me with amazing ideas for decor, rooms setup with my home, food ideas, and the best bakery to use for our daughter's first birthday cake. And I could bounce ideas off of her to see what has worked and not worked in the past.
When Nikki left, I felt ready to plan her party. We set a theme, decided on decor, and was provided with tips that truly helped plan and run the party smoothly. Without her help, I would have been at a loss.
For the party, Elite Events provided the table linens and the backdrop for the desert table that truly made the entire party. She came two days before to set up the linens and the backdrop. Even though she did not coordinate/plan the entire party, the party would not have been a success without Nikki. I am truly grateful to have utilized her in the planning of my daughter's 1st birthday party!!
I used Elite Events for my wedding on 10/13/12. I utilized their services for Event Coordination and for Custom Print Design. My save-the-dates, RSVP cards, invitations, and wedding programs could not have turned out better! I got so many compl...
iments on them. Elite Events also helped me with coordinating my event up to two months out, all the way through the day of. What a relief it was to have them there on the day of my wedding! At the time of enlisting their services for Event Coordination, I had done the majority of my own planning. If you are one of those DIY brides, I'd highly recommend that you have a team like Elite Events to at least assist you on the day of your big event. They were there to take care of last minute things, prepared a detailed timeline of events, and were there to answer any questions between family, other vendors, and bridal party. Thank you!
Nikki and the girls did SUCH a wonderful job on everything. I am super detail orientated and they exceeded my every expectation. Nikki really listed to my vision and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. She was always reachable when I ...
had questions and was willing to drive to meet me halfway. I cannot say enough how wonderful it was to have everything done on our wedding day and to not worry about anything. That feeling is priceless!
Nikki, Kati, Sharon, Allyson –
You are the best around and should be winning national awards! Almost a month from the wedding day, I am still in awe over how stunning everything was. As the bride and groom, it was the best day of our lives! ...
Our family and friends have remarked that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! The planning process was structured, organized, and fun! Nikki (creative designer) and Kati (business manager) are the dynamic duo, making sure you get those stunningly creative details (that I’m sure you look for on Pinterest) while helping you work around real world constraints. They make it happen! Not only do they steer the planning process, they offer exclusive, in-house linen and floral services that will blow you away! Sharon Johnson, Elite Events’ exclusive florist, is a rock star! She was caring and considerate of my vision and absolutely blew me away with how beautiful everything was. All of these ladies made our wedding day happen as it did! I never had to worry about the clock or details during the wedding much at all, which is how it should be because you won’t want to miss those moments thinking about you and your husband…not whether cake will be wheeled out on time. They were a tremendous blessing to me, my husband, and our parents. Most importantly, you brides will have FUN planning with these ladies. They will be forever friends to me. I was in grad school full time and worked part time throughout my engagement, and hiring Elite Events opened up time aside to plan the wedding without feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. They are very professional and hold a fantastic reputation in event planning. Your vision; your style; your day…they really do make it happen!
Lots of love for you all!
I had Elite Events do all my flowers. They were absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't have asked for anything more. It was everything I had imagined. Nikki (the owner) is very talented at what she does. I wanted my wedding to be exactly what I wanted...
but if I needed Nikki's opinion or needed her to organize my ideas. She did it with great ease and great design ideas. When it came to the arrangements my flower arrangements I met with Sharon (the florest) I told her my ideas and she went to town with great excitement. Sharon loves what she does and it shows. She made incredible centerpieces. But what my absolute favorite was my bouquet. I wish it would have stayed alive forever. It was incredible. She put my ideas into my wedding and it was exactly what I wanted. Love Elite Events and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a day worry free and breathe taking design.
I absolutely love elite events ! I couldn't imagine doing any of this stuff on my own. And their vendor list was super helpful !!! Words can't describe how thankful I was on my wedding day to have them there with me !

I worked with Nikki and her team throughout my entire planning process. From our initial meeting Nikki completely understood what I had in mind for our wedding and made it a reality, far better than I could have ever imagined. She assisted with...
everything from venue and vendor selections to designing our invitations. On the day of she and her assistants had all the answers, which made for a worry free day. I simply cannot thank them enough for a perfect day.

Nikki and her girls are the best of the best. We planned a wedding where the bride and groom were in Texas, brides family was in new York, and the wedding was in port clinton. She was so organized, prompt, and listened to every detail my sister...
wanted. Everything went off without a hitch on the day of. I would use her to plan my wedding in a heartbeat. Seriously, not sure what we would have done without her. She is the best.
We hired elite events for our daughters wedding in September. We couldn't have been happier with their 'day of' services. Starting a few months out they helped with all the organizing of our vendors and ran the rehearsal. Because they took ca...

know she will make everything perfect on our wedding day!
Nikki was a huge help! She kept me organized and on schedule. She also made the day go off without a hitch!
They are the nicest people I have ever met. We were so excited to work with Joe and he was even better than we expected. I wish we had stayed in Toledo so my husband and I could hangout with Joe, Bridget and Breana (spellling is wrong). They...
were so unobtrusive, quick with their pictures and excellent wedding guests. I wished they had stayed at the party after their work was done. They were absolutely worth every penny and more. We needed a videographer last minute and Joe was able to help us out with a trying time when the Groom's parent's we no longer able to make it to the wedding. I could not have asked for anything else from Decisive Moment. I can't wait to get the pictures, books and video!!! You will be so happy with these photographers and videographers.
I would give a higher rating if possible.
We loved working with Decisive Moments. They were easy to be around, we received more photos than we expected, and we love the photojournalistic style. Make sure their style is what you really want, because they're pretty serious about it.
