Elizabeth Anne Events

he wedding, Betsey did an amazing job of making sure everything was seamless... from the flowers at the venue, to the timeline of the speeches and first dances, and making sure we had everything we needed to take home at the end of the night. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator to help take the stress out of wedding planning and your big day, look no further!

a day to remember. Outstanding! I would definitely recommend Elizabeth Events!

ork with but everything adds up so quickly and when I looked into a wedding coordinator, everyone was so expensive that I wasn’t going to use one. Until, the stress finally took a toll on me. I searched on The Knot app, the BEST WEDDING TOOL, and found Elizabeth Events. I met with Betsey and immediately felt at ease and booked her right then. She made sure that I was on track with my scheduling and reminded me of things I need to do. I worked with Taylor for the rehearsal dinner and both ladies for the day of the wedding. I was not overwhelmed at all on my wedding day. I trusted Betsey and Taylor with everything and if anything went wrong (as it is inevitable) I was unaware of it. Everything went smoother once I hired on Betsey. I highly recommend using Elizabeth Events to help you with your wedding! My wedding turned out to be the most beautiful, stress-free event, and I will always remember it as being the best day of my life as opposed to chaos and random crises!

out the details. There were 3 hours in between our ceremony and reception and Betsey assisted with set up while we took pictures. I had no concerns or worries that it wouldn't be perfect upon arrival. And it was. She is incredibly responsive to emails and answered any questions I had. She was very knowledgeable about the entire process and made sure that everything was accounted for. She had contacts with many vendors and helped me choose the best ones for me. She literally made sure everything was perfect. I would recommend her to any bride who is planning her dream wedding.

time to plan a wedding. Betsey emailed us about once a week to ask our preference for flowers, food, etc, which was extremely considerate given our busy schedules. The day of was absolutely wonderful. I have no idea what disasters may have occurred behind the scenes because Betsey took care of everything. I highly recommend Elizabeth Events. I could not have asked for a better, wedding experience!

ere hands off and able to enjoy the day without the little nuances and issues popping up. Enter Betsey. She was exactly what we were looking for. The groomsmen and myself got to the barn a little early to hang some lights and do some basic setup, but after we left to get ready and start the pictures Betsey and her assistant took care of all the rest of the setup, most importantly the centerpieces. From around 1pm until the end of the night, my wife and I were just able to coast through the day and take in as many memories as possible, Betsey handled the rest. She helped coordinate the ceremony; who should be where at what time, and when should they start walking. She talked with all the vendors to make sure they were on the same schedule. She worked with the photographer to make the family pictures part fly by (and we have big italian family on my side!). Our caterer ran out a couple of the primary beers, so she worked with them to get replacements from the store. From our point of view, the day went off without a single noticeable hitch...and that was no doubt a testament to Betsey's services. She was also very helpful during the wedding planning phase portion. As I said my wife was very hands on during all of the planning, so Betsey mostly stood aside and let us run with it. She provided some helpful reminder emails and helped a little with the budget and scheduling parts too. Overall we highly recommend Betsey if you're looking for a great stress shield on the day of your wedding. She offered a great service for a good price, and executed her end flawlessly, what more could you ask for?

r to ensure everything was executed. My husband and I met with Betsy and shared our vision, vendor list, expectations, etc. Within a couple of weeks she had contacted each of our vendors directly and was able to put together a minute-by-minute timeline for the entire day. This included every detail of the day (hair and makeup times for each bridesmaid, when we would arrive to the Church, the order of the reception, etc.) Having this timeline was a game changer for us as we hadn't nailed down EXACTLY how the day would go ourselves. On the day of the rehearsal and the wedding, Betsy and her assistants were there by our sides making sure everything went according to plan. She mediated at the reception before we got there and even dropped off our gifts in our hotel room after the wedding so we didn't have to worry about them! The best part about this team was that we didn't even have to think about them...we trusted that they were taking care of everything and they really did! We would highly recommend their services.

o matter how stupid they were. :) In the final and very stressful month leading up to the wedding, she kept my sanity in check by helping me and supporting me with anything I needed. The day of my wedding, she helped with snafus that arose with a calm attitude and I never once worried about a thing, knowing that she was in control. She is a wonderful person and a phenomenal wedding planner and I am SO GRATEFUL that I had her. You will be, too! :)

s was limited, but she helped make the process very efficient so I got the most out of my planning trips. She is a great communicator by phone and email. She also works with some great vendors but was open to trying new things (for example, Elizabeth Events had never done a wedding at my venue or with the florist I chose, but Betsey did an awesome job coordinating with both vendors). On the day of, Betsey made sure everything went smoothly. There were definitely some little hiccups that I heard about later (there always are) but Betsey just handled them and made sure I had nothing to worry about other than having a great time. We loved our wedding, and I am so thankful we decided to work with Betsey. I think my Mom and I are still sane because we had her help. Betsey is worth every penny!

pful, and calming and made our day amazing. She linked us with vendors who were also amazing, helped me find my vision, calmed me when I needed it (and told me to relax when I needed that too!) She solved several little issues, and gently guided me in the right direction. Her "day of" coordination was fabulous. I did nothing, but feel amazing!! My groom wasn't sure about hiring someone.... But as we walked back down the aisle after the "I dos", his first words were "I am SO GLAD we had Bestey!" I think that speaks volumes. I cannot thank her enough for all of her help, her ideas, and her support!!! I highly recommend her!!!!

the wedding. Betsey offered good advice when we met with vendors, and helped everything go smoothly. I don't know what we would have done without her, and we highly recommend her services.

ed my sanity!

, string quartet,linens, chocolate fountain, and wedding stationary. If I had questions about anything, she would contact the vendors for me. She also went with me to most of my appointments. She found me the limo, string quartet, and chocolate fountain lady. She came up with recommendations on the amount of money I should spend in each category based on overall budget and which areas I wanted to splurge on and other areas that I wanted to save money on. She also typed up a timeline for the day of the wedding which she sent to all my vendors so they knew what was going on and I sent it to my family and bridesmaids so they knew what was going on too. She also came to the rehearsal at the church. The day of, Betsey came to the church to make sure flowers had arrived and everyone got their corsages and boutonnieres. She made also made sure everyone walked down the aisle in the correct order. Once she got me down the aisle, she went the reception venue to make sure everything had been set up correctly. During the reception, Betsey would frequently check up on my husband and I to make sure everything was to our liking. She also made sure all the gifts and cards made it to my parents' hotel room at the end of the night. She was dressed very professionally in black pants and shirt and wore a nametag. Betsey is a good problem solver too. The cocktail hour had been set up wrong by the venue. Betsey told the venue staff how everything should have been set up and made sure it was fixed before any guests arrived at the cocktail hour. She made recommendations on which flortist to use and gave me advice on what flowers to use in my bouquets and gave me ideas for my centerpieces. She recommended where I should get my invitations and other wedding stationary(i.e. programs, save the dates, programs, etc.) from and helped with creative design. She recommended where I should get table linens from and helped me pick out what would look good together. She responded very quickly to phone calls and emails. She would get back to me about things usually the same day I emailed her or the next day. I never had any problems getting ahold of her when I needed to. I would definitely recommend hiring Betsey. She is very passionate about weddings and being a wedding coordinator. She is very knowledgeable about vendors in the area and has had experience working with them. She gave me great suggestions about décor and creative design. I work 40 hours a week, so it was a really big help that Betsey contacted vendors and scheduled appointments for me. All I had to do was give her my schedule. She took a lot of the stress and worry away from me the day of the wedding so I could enjoy my special day. My wedding would not have been the same without Betsey.

ould have cost me 4xs more to have done. She helped me pick out all the flowers and I I had exactly what I had envisioned for all of them. No florist could ever have put the touch of knowing someones style and vision like Betsey did. I had a DIY wedding so I was a bit hesitant at first to hire a planner. I had to make sure it was the right one. After meeting with serveral planners I really felt Betsey was it. Her strong and sweet personality was perfect to make sure that my day went completely perfect. Which it did! To feel no stress on your wedding day is a feeling that every bride should have. Betsey did that for me. She handeled the DJ, and the caterer, and the photographer decorated the tables just to name a few. I know now why she comes highly recommended!!

ended by a friend of a friend, and she turned out to be even better than advertised. She is friendly, easy-going and down-to-earth, not at all like those snooty, high-strung, expensive planners who are more concerned with image than substance. But she also really knows her stuff and is assertive when needed, so no one pushes her (or you) around. She frequently volunteered to do extra things to help us out (without charging more), and she really endeared herself to me when she cried sincere tears of joy for us on several occasions. Her rates are far less expensive than what planners in the DC area charge -- yet many, many times she went above and beyond what her contract obligated her to do. So her services were quite a bargain and worth every penny. If not for her, neither our wedding nor our reception would have turned out half as wonderfully as they did!

inator. Her emails were not well written and did not insure me with confidence. I don't deal well with uncertainty, especially on my wedding day. It so happens, a college of mine hired Elizabeth Events for her daughter's wedding at the Dayton Art Institute and it was fabulous. I decided to spend the extra money to bring my own coordinator with me. Trust me it was well worth every penny. Betsy stayed with me from the time they began my hair and makeup until I walked down the aisle. I happened to be dressed about 30 minutes before the ceremony and Betsy new I was nervious, so she took my camera and starting taking pictures of me around the hotel. Funny, they were just as good as the professional ones. She also discretely let me know how much to tip the photographer. Trust me, not everyone knows all these little protocols and you could really embarass yourself. During the photo process, Betsy made sure my dress was straight and smooth for the pics. Finally, as the wedding guests were proceeding to the dinner reception, Betsy took it upon herself to take all my pre-wedding stuff up to my room so I wouldn't have to worry with it. I can say without a doubt, it was the best day of my life and Betsy had a huge part in it. Remember, just because you have a vendor who tells you they know what to do, take it with a grain of salt. Also, make sure all the vendors know that Betsy is in charge, so they will go to her for questions and issues, and you can just enjoy your day. I wish you all the best, and with that, you can't go wrong with Elizabeth Events. One last thing, I only needed Betsy for one day, but if I would have had a wedding locally, she would have done it all for me. * please note the cost of one day may seem expensive, but it includes Betsy's airfare and hotel accomidations also.

hould be. She took care of everything!! I had a horrible time with the caterer from day one and Betsey took care of all of it. Betsey was willing to do anything and didn't charge me for every email, phone call, research, or time she spent with me like other planners do. When she says UNLIMITED she means unlimited. She even wanted to put her personal touch on my wedding and designed the escort card table. She truly cared for me as a bride and didn't treat me like every other bride. I knew she was dedicated to me even though she had many other weddings to plan. She doesnt care if your budget is $10K or $100K she makes your day special and keeps you with in your budget realistically. Best Wishes on this exciting time in your life and remember to focus more on your marriage not the wedding day!
