Elizabeth Anne Events

th our daughter. The timeline flowed smoothly and everything went well. Betsey helped with the ceremony, made the timeline and worked with our vendors, set up and packed up! Money well spent! We would hire her again!

. I got engaged at the end of May, so I only had 4 months to plan the wedding, and I couldn't have done it without Betsey! I live in Cincinnati and I'm not familiar with the Dayton area, but Betsey has years of experience and was able to find great vendors for me on short notice. She was very well organized, thorough, and always quick to respond to my emails & questions. She attended vendor meetings with me and reassured me when I got stressed out. On the wedding day, she was LIFE SAVING. She coordinated with all the vendors and directed the setup while I was getting ready. She was working behind the scenes the whole day so that I could enjoy my wedding day. When problems arose, she solved them so I didn't have to stress. If you are wondering whether it's worth the money to hire a wedding planner, I can say hiring Elizabeth Anne Events was absolutely worth every penny!! I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the Dayton area!

but Betsey came along to meetings with the venue and caterer and worked with all our vendors to create a timeline for everyone.

ch more than that. Neither my daughter nor I were in the Dayton area which makes things a little difficult to start. And planning during covid, with one postponement, really complicates things. But Betsey made everything so easy. She knew all of our vendors, and already had a good relationship with all of them. She supervised the setup of the room, and made sure that everything moved along as scheduled. I really don’t know what we would have done without her. Truth be told, I hesitated to spend money on a wedding planner, but I can honestly say that it was worth every penny and then some! Cannot say enough nice things about the expertise that she will bring to your event

ng smooth to truly keep the stress off the wedding party. Highly recommended .

nt over all the wedding specifics with us even things we had not even thought of. We discovered Betsey was well connected with the Dayton wedding scene and was familiar with most of our vendors. She was able to give helpful advice about our venue and caterers. At our first meeting Betsey created a timeline for the rehearsal dinner and wedding day which helped us as we continued to make our own specific plans for each event. Betsey and my daughter stayed in contact about wedding details even through their Covid-canceled wedding. She helped us to re-plan for the new wedding date as well During the wedding week Betsey contacted the vendors with all the information to ensure everyone knew our plans and for us to know theirs. While she did all of this we got to focus on the fun things not having to worry about all the little details. At the rehearsal Betsey directed the practice with an 18-person wedding party-she kept everything moving along. All we were responsible for was bringing all the decorations to the venue for them to use on wedding day. I also provided Betsey with all the vendor tip envelopes which she distributed for us. The wedding day arrived and Betsey was in contact with us as needed during that day through texts. She had everything under control and we didn’t worry about anything-all we had to do was get dressed and show up. It was an amazing feeling knowing that all we had to focus on was enjoying the day. After the ceremony during the room flip for the reception Betsey made sure the table decorations and favors were done exactly as my daughter had planned. I was glad to know Betsey was available to help but I never once had to go to her for help-she was working things behind the scenes so we didn’t have to worry. At the end of the reception Betsey and her assistant helped us gather all of the decorations, leftover flowers/favors and gifts and helped us get them loaded into cars. I was very appreciative of Betsey and her team on the wedding day. She worked behind the scenes taking care of all the little details while we enjoyed the wedding. I highly recommend Elizabeth Anne events to anyone planning a wedding-you will be very glad you did!

I would definitely do it again:)

to really guide us through the several choices and decisions we had to make while planning and executing a wedding. In fact, Betsey brought up several details we never even thought of. She was also instrumental in our venue walk through and rehearsal. On the day of, even though we had a tricky one-hour room flip from ceremony to reception, and an unusually large bridal party, Betsey remained organized, directed everyone flawlessly, and was able to make sure everything went off without a hitch. I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day, because I knew we were in such great hands. At the end of the wedding night she stayed to make sure all our items we brought were packaged and organized and loaded up in the cars. We are so grateful for Elizabeth Anne Events. If you are starting to plan your own wedding, we'd highly recommend contacting for a consultation. You will be in great hands with Betsey and her team, and will not have to worry or stress about a thing on your wedding day!

e independent research I would have had to do and saved so much time. She is professional and honest. She would present options to my fiancé and me. Then we would make a decision together. She was also the liaison between us and the vendors. The day of the wedding was perfect. We trusted Betsey to make last minute decisions and she made sure everything executed at the right time. We spent none of our wedding worried a out the distribution of food , people or drinks.

date. Then, as a person who never particularly thought about a wedding realized I...knew nothing about weddings. Well, in swooped Betsey. She spent her time helping me narrow down choices making the phone calls, emails and setting up tastings. We discussed what I really wanted, what I did not care about and what I should care about. She rolled with every curve ball I threw her and she is creative, organized, patient, calm, kind and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

t thought about. I had zero concerns the day of our wedding (minus rain, but no one can control that!) and Betsey was a large reason for that. It was a magical day that could be enjoyed by my husband and I and our mothers, worry free!

the timeline but also communicated to all vendors for us. It made not only our wedding day a breeze but the weeks leading up to to it. We cannot recommend Betsey enough!

tear down and so much more, I told her I’d never plan another wedding without her. As the Mother of the bride, I didn’t have to worry about a thing!! Betsey is the best!!!

decisions ever! It was as if a weight was lifted from my shoulders the minute we spoke on the phone. I started the planning process with a total DIY mindset. That quickly changed as I discovered what truly went into wedding planning, but Betsey helped me stay completely hands-on and involved while expertly navigating the fine details. Two things that sold me on Betsey's day-of coordination package were the on-site meeting (held 2 months in advance) and detailed, personalized timeline. Betsey wore so many hats on the day of the wedding! She started by picking up my flowers from Floral V, placing individual greens for table runners, coordinating placement of food stations, and calming my nerves. She lit all of the many candles I had placed both at my ceremony site and reception with perfect timing. She worked closely with our DJ to coordinate the wedding processional, and her assistant kindly held my train as dad and I walked to the aisle :) After the ceremony, Betsey was the one who bustled my dress, and she seamlessly coordinated all of the reception components. She worked so well with all of our vendors! Her warmth and kind nature were the perfect addition to our small, intimate reception. She also refused to let me throw my Floral V bouquet in the toss (THANK YOU) and somehow crafted a beautiful toss bouquet in about 5 minutes??? She is a jack of all trades. We ended the night with sparklers and s'mores (rather than a sparkler exit, we were able to enjoy more time with our guests after photos were taken - another amazing Betsey idea!). I could go on for days. I highly highly recommend Elizabeth Anne Events to any and every bride looking to be hands on during her big day, but needing some extra help. Thank you Betsey!

g design recommendations, as well as acompanied us to the venue, making certain everything was in place. She contacted all of my vendors leading up to my wedding, making certain everyone was on the same page. On the day of my wedding, Betsey and her assistant Paula were literally life savers! It rained all day and I was insistent on having the wedding ceremony outside in the forest. Betsey coordinated all of my guests and vendors and made sure my dream wedding went off without a hitch! We are so thankful for Betsey and both of families raved about how smooth everything went despite the weather. Thank you so much Elizabeth Anne Events!

Betsey about 3 months before my wedding. She was well organized and helped us through the last few months of wedding planning. She also made sure everything the day of my wedding went smoothly. She was very nice and relieved a lot of stress from me leading up to the big day. I recommend her for any of your wedding planning needs!

day. Betsey's assistant Paula was also a great help on the wedding day. It was a pleasure working with Betsey, and I highly recommend her.

hicago, and know next to nothing about the Dayton wedding market-- and we needed an expert. And an expert is just what we got! Betsey was attentive and dedicated from day 1. We didn't have to worry about most anything-- she was on top of it. She kept things organized and vendors aligned, bringing us in for decision-making (and showing patience when it might take awhile for us to respond because of travel!). She had a billion ideas and was super open to ours. We could only come to Dayton once every few months, and when we did, she would have all of our meetings scheduled and beautifully timed and with all of these absolutely incredible vendors. Nothing felt difficult-- just fun! The one piece of advice I received from almost everyone was this-- on the day of, just let get go and don't worry about anything. With Betsey and her amazing assistant, we didn't have anything to worry about! Things went so smoothly-- vendors were paid, party was cleaned, and everyone was happy, well fed, well watered, and well danced. I'm pretty bummed that we don't have anything else to plan right now with Betsey-- so Betsey, get ready for some future baby shower! THANK YOU so very much for making our day-- our entire year-- just so much fun!!

regularly and offered to meet anytime we were feeling nervous or had questions....she continually helped us feel at ease throughout the whole process and helped make our big day run so smoothly. I would highly recommend Betsey if you are looking for a wedding planner! Not only was she amazing but we will miss seeing her!

around and I’m so glad we chose her as our planner! Would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone who really cares about their clients and doesn’t just see them as dollar signs! She is truly the best at what she does.

ask, and was very flexible with me when I would come up with crazy DIY ideas. She has been in the business of wedding planning for a while, and has great relationships with many local vendors. I highly recommend her!

y and I felt nothing but confidence that they had everything under control. Plus Betsey was on top of all the details weeks before the actual wedding. She finalized everything with our vendors and even got us $150 back from our florist after catching a mistake in the bill! Betsey was always super responsive and willing to offer her expertise on every part of the wedding process. The icing on the (wedding) cake was her very reasonable fee--hundreds less than the other wedding planners in our area. Hire Betsey! You won't regret it.

lso reached out to all my vendors ahead of time. On the day of the 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!

we needed her! I can't thank Betsey enough for making July 23rd a day to remember. Outstanding! I would definitely recommend Elizabeth Events!

ng down to the tiniest detail. I had a very generous budget to work 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!

endors and confirmed contracts so that I didn't have to worry about 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.

obs in D.C., and we are both in graduate school, so there was no 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!

day of the wedding it was very important to both of us that we were 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?

ths before the wedding and decided we needed a day-of coordinator 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.

ith them were key. She always responded quickly to my emails, no 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! :)

ive out of state, so my face-to-face time with Betsey and vendors 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!

e yet personal for my groom and myself. Betsey was extremely helpful, 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!!!!

ack of all the details, and we were able to rest easy and enjoy 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.

. We would highly recommend Elizabeth Events!

e was on top of the caterer, DJ, lighting, you name it. She saved my sanity!

uding the reception hall, florist, DJ, photographer, limo driver, 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.

and I make all the bouquets, corsages and boutinniers. Which would 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!!

ded a long-distance wedding planner. Betsey came highly recommended 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!

re concerned I became about the compentancy of my Bellagio coordinator. 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.

th, fit my personality, and the vision of what our wedding day should 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!
