I am truly excited for this new chapter in my life helping couples on their wedding day because with all the time and energy that goes into the day, they should be able to enjoy their day stress-free!

One of the things I’m gonna miss now that the wedding is over is Rich!!!! Love this man. He was great through the whole process. I booked him over a year and a half prior and even ...
though I did a smaller package of just day of coordinating, he never made me feel like I wasn’t a priority. He set up calls through the year to make sure I was on track and the calls were always so detailed and ended with an email to do list. He always answered my texts of asking random wedding questions and it was nice to have that third party professional opinion on things. Then on the day everything went super smooth. And even if it didn’t I didn’t know about it. He had a calmness but also had a way to wrangle up your bridal party when needed. All in all, great experience. I’m so glad he was apart of my day(:

From the very beginning, working with Rich at Elite Wedding Planning was one of the best decisions we made. He and his husband are truly some of the most genuine, kind-hearted peop...
le we’ve ever met, and that warmth carried through every step of the planning process.
Rich went above and beyond to make sure our day was not only beautiful, but completely stress-free. Every detail was handled with such care, organization, and professionalism, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without worry. His ability to stay calm, attentive, and solution-oriented made all the difference.
What meant the most to us was how personally invested Rich was. It never felt like just another event, he truly cared about us and our vision, and it showed in everything he did. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we owe so much of that to him and his husband.
We are beyond grateful and cannot recommend Rich and Elite Wedding Planning enough. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding like it’s their own and make the entire experience seamless and joyful, look no further.

When you know, you just know. This is often something one feels when realizing their life partner. For us, it was also realizing who should be our wedding planner. Rich Weimer, of ...
Elite Wedding Planning LLC, had that award winning effect on us from the moment we met him.
Rich immediately made us feel at ease, with his calm and comforting presence, to his insightful planning expertise. As our day of planner for a winter holiday wedding, he spent the year leading up to the event setting up detail-oriented planning sessions. The meetings, over Zoom or phone, gave us a compass to guide us throughout the planning process. His expertise in planning always ensured we never missed a detail. Each meeting was followed with a summary of the discussion, along with next steps for us, so that we always remained prepared and mindful, and never caught off guard.
Leading up the wedding itself, Rich eventually takes over communication with the vendors. This proved to be beyond value, as the burden of wedding day stress was lifted off our shoulders, as we felt confidence in Rich to keep matters organized. For example, the night before the wedding, our transportation for the bridal party was in a car-accident, and thankfully no one was hurt. Instead of becoming a chaotic event that we needed to manage right before the wedding, Rich handled it to the point that it was a brief one-minute update to us, as he handled the arrangements for transportation back-up.
The day of the wedding, Rich truly shined and many of our guests commented on how great of a job he did in communicating and managing the shuffling of events. Other vendors spoke highly of Rich, and we saw the evidence to support it by how smoothly all of our vendors were able to work – from the DJ, photographer, venue, and more.
The next day, as a married couple, we often turned to each other and ask how something got done. How did that day turn out to be so efficient, thoughtful, and magical? And we knew why it was so Elite, and it was Rich, time and time again.

Rich was fantastic to work with! We could not have asked for a better planner.
In the months leading up to the wedding, he helped us piece together each component of our special ...
day, from decor ideas, timelines, and coordinating with all of our vendors. He filled in areas we didn’t even think about and was ready to give suggestions on how we could make our day better and flow smoothly.
Day of, Rich and his husband were rockstars! Our special day flowed seamlessly, we could not have asked for anything better. The amount of effort and passion Rich put into our wedding is truly inspiring. We cannot recommend enough to hire this man as your coordinator, you can rest assured that you will be well taken care of in his hands.
We will always be thankful for everything he did to ensure our day was special and memorable.

il. What stood out most was how approachable and easy to talk to they were from the moment I met them at the Bridal Expo. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but they made every conversation feel relaxed and reassuring.
Communication was effortless. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and I always felt in the loop without ever feeling stressed. On the big day, everything ran so smoothly that I was able to truly enjoy the moment without worrying about a thing. That peace of mind is priceless.
Thanks to Richard and Danny, our wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. If you want someone professional, kind, and who will make your day seamless and stress-free, look no further!

everything happen! Everything went so smoothly, and if you’re a hands off type of person you can 1000% rely on Richard to get everything done. His attention to detail was out of this world, and he somehow made my vague ideas into the most beautiful day. He somehow knew that I would completely forget about a card box, listened to my many sisters’ opinions, and so much more.

s think of things that other wise would have never crossed our minds. He never over stepped and rolled with the punches each time I changed my colors (a million times)! He handled EVERYthing. From the smallest detail to the largest. Had the best ideas and really made us feel like family at the end of the day. I really cannot thank him and his team enough for what they did for us. I will always recommend Elite Wedding Planning!

e sure nothing was forgotten and I would genuinely look forward to every meeting we would have! On the wedding day he made sure everything was taken care of. There was never a moment where I felt nervous or stressed. He handled every hiccup with ease and everyone in our bridal party loved him and his team. All of our guests were able to sense the ease in the air as me and my fiance were able to just enjoy the day and not stress one bit. If you haven't already this is your sign to book him!
