Michelle and her team are absolutely incredible and I would recommend them 1000 times over. We began working with Michelle about a year and a half before our wedding and she immediately understood our vibe and the type of wedding we wanted to have. This not only made the entire wedding planning process seamless from beginning to end, it also resulted in our wedding being truly perfect in every possible way. I don’t think I can express enough how well Michelle understood the assignment… it was EXACTLY what we wanted. Actually, no, it was far better than what we imagined. Michelle somehow has the requisite type-a personality to be the boss planner that she is while also being extremely chill and so genuinely patient and kind. She actually listens to what her clients want while also knowing when to pushback and how to offer her own guidance and advice without being domineering. She has impeccable taste, she is extremely organized and responsive, she is really everything I could have ever wanted in a planner. Hiring Michelle was the single best decision we made when it comes to our wedding (aside from deciding to marry each other to begin with) and we are eternally grateful. We love Michelle!!!!!!! Hire her immediately!!!!
Anyone who is looking to find comfort, enjoyment, and a gorgeous outcome during their wedding or event planning process is in the right place. The level of professionalism and deep love that goes into Michelle’s work is awe-striking and so clear. We had nearly every person that attended our wedding follow up with us and say flat out that ours was the best wedding they’d ever been to (which was never my intention, we just wanted a sweet, intimate gathering with our closest few with good food and good music and we got SO much more thanks to Michelle). When we were first meeting to consult with Michelle about possibly planning our wedding, my husband said that he was hoping for a knife throwing area post-ceremony and without missing a beat she says with a big smile, “Oh yeah, I love that! We can for sure do that!” and that was it, the rest was history, we wanted her to plan our wedding. Time and again, she would take any worries we had off our shoulders, she was honest, cool and collected, she cracked us up constantly, and she was never stressful to talk to during what can feel like a very overwhelming process. She’s got stellar taste, but she is incredibly receptive to the specific tastes of her couple. She connected us with vendors that were fantastic and fiercely advocated for us in the most professional manner, it was just awesome. And the icing on the cake? She does her work through an environmentally conscious lens. I cannot say enough great things about Michelle and her team, she just knocked it out of the park again and again. We miss working with her all the time and are so so grateful for all that she did for us to make our special day that much more special. We would do it over again in a heart beat without changing a thing. Thanks Michelle! E + C
When I reflect on my wedding planning process and wedding day, I think of how grateful and appreciative I am to have worked with Michelle and Ellamae Productions. The entire process completely exceeded my expectations – Michelle’s warmth, professionalism, and efficiency were constantly above and beyond. From the wedding planning process to the day of, I knew we were in the best of hands and that I could fully trust Ellamae Productions to execute my vision and troubleshoot any difficulties before I even became aware of them.
Planning a wedding during Covid could have been extremely stressful, but Michelle has a special way of bringing calmness to every situation. I truly believe I was at peace leading up to my wedding day and throughout the day because of my trust in Michelle. I never once felt an ounce of stress, confusion, or hesitation that Michelle didn’t have literally everything covered. I’m aware that I’m capable of being a difficult client due to my expectations, organization, and eagerness to plan ahead, but was pleasantly surprised to learn that Michelle was always two steps ahead of me :)
I am forever grateful to Michelle for being alongside me every step of the way from venue selection, design, coordinating guests and vendors, and executing a wedding that felt so customized and special to my partner and I. If you are even remotely thinking of hiring help for your big day, I cannot recommend Ellamae Productions enough!!
Any questions?
You cannot go wrong when hiring Ellamae Productions. Michelle is a fantastic coordinator with outstanding professionalism, organization, collaboration, and most importantly a personable approach.
My wife and I felt very at peace knowing she was running the show. It made the final month of wedding planning a breeze when it could have been a hair pulling nightmare of to-dos.
She was always very responsive and courteous making sure everything was checked and scheduling routine meetings (one of which lasted several hours) in order to ensure no stone was unturned.
Words cannot fully describe how much she helped make our day special and full of joy after nearly 2 years of issues (COVID). If you want to have an amazing experience and not have to worry about all of the little details that go into wedding planning I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Ellamae Productions as they will not steer you wrong.
Thanks to Michelle and Christina for being apart of our special day and for all of the hard work you put in! It meant the world to us!
ELLAMAE Productions exceeded our expectations in every way from start to finish! My daughter's wedding was magical and much of that can be attributed to Michelle and her team of experts who managed everything as promised but even stepped in to do the unusual time after time. From the minute we hired Ellamae Productions the relationship was warm and friendly. But, just as important; professional and above reproach. Covid threw some of our plans sideways and Michelle always had a keen solution and a plan forward to get us to the wedding day. Her timeliness is beyond compare - I had answers to most questions within 24 hours by text, phone, and/or email. The harder issues were dealt with promptly too and she was good at keeping me informed of any troubles or delays. The day of the wedding was orchestrated without a hitch and everything was just as my daughter dreamed it would be. We have worked with other planners and none compare to ELLAMAE Productions- our dollars were well spent and our wedding was spectacular! I have 2 more daughters and ELLAMAE Productions will be our go to planner!
Words cannot express how thankful my husband and I were for Michelle during our wedding planning process. Her friendliness and likability is equal to her absolute and unwavering professionalism. There is no way we could have planned a COVID-19 compliant micro-wedding in less than two months without her and her creative solutions to all the hurdles we encountered. Only a few days before the wedding, our outdoor wedding forecast went from sunny to downpour rain! Thankfully, Michelle worked quickly and diligently with her network of event vendors (all of which were absolutely incredible) to make sure we and all our guests were dry for our special day. Knowing Michelle was on top of everything allowed me and my husband to really enjoy the day together and with our guests. She's a ten out of ten! Would highly recommend to everyone getting married!!!!!
Michelle was with us from day one of planning our large wedding and she was there through our process of reorienting in the wake of COVID to hosting a small, intimate wedding with just our families. I cannot emphasize enough what it meant to us to have her event planning expertise throughout the entire process. She was thorough in each of our meetings to ensure our vendors were communicating with us properly, and she made sure each detail was tended to. Her attention to detail was accompanied by such kindness and a clear concern for our wellbeing as a couple as we navigated these unprecedented times. She also took great initiative in connecting with our officiant, bartender, and others to see that everyone felt comfortable and was on the same page.
At our small wedding, from the rehearsal to cleanup, Michelle went the extra mile in taking care of music, managing food staff, communicating COVID safety protocols, and making sure everything was in the right place at the right time. Our families were blown away by her dedication and expertise.
Oh, and the designs! She was a close confidant in selecting our place settings and she even did our floral arrangements. What really made the designs special was that Michelle took the time to get to know us as a couple, from the music we like, to our personalities... this helped her put touches on the decor that felt so authentic to us.
The best part of all of this, is we anticipate partnering with Michelle again next year when we are (hopefully) post-COVID and able to have a large party with family and friends who were not able to travel out this year. We couldn't imagine collaborating with a better team than Ellamae Productions. Please do yourself a favor and request their services the next time you have an event! We know we will.
Ellamae Productions provided a world-class experience for our destination wedding in Scotland... even amid a global pandemic!
From start to finish Michelle was a dream to work with: responsive, creative, organised and professional to a fault. She doesn't just "plan" ... she curates, asking us questions that opened up our imagination to new possibilities and tackling any problem with out-of-the-box thinking. When the Coronavirus outbreak rendered so many of our original plans impossible, Michelle took care of all the headaches and encouraged my husband and I to focus on the hope and beauty in what we were seeking to do. We ended up having the most magical, intimate wedding we could have hoped for - thanks to Ellamae Productions. When we are able to throw our post-wedding party, Michelle will be the first call we make.
Michelle is a fantastic wedding planner and event organizer. We hired her to manage our wedding event and we could not have asked for a more outstanding partner. Michelle went above and beyond. She help us along the way to make sure we had all our bases cover and on the big day made sure everything run smoothly. I cannot recommend her enough. She is just fantastic and definitely worth the investment.
Ellamae Productions was the best to work with! Being the creative director of a design and marketing studio, we had the pleasure of working with Michelle, owner of Ellamae Productions, on both her company's website as well as one of her client's events. Her eye for design made our job extremely easy!
She was amazing to work with and very organized and clear regarding everything she and her clients needed. Not only was she professional and direct, but she was also quick to reply to all communications regarding project details and contracts.
Her previous experience planning A-list events shines through and definitely presents her professionalism and care within the industry down to every detail; exactly what I would suspect every couple is after when deciding on a planner.
If you are looking for a planner for one of the most important days of your life, don't skimp on talent. Hire Ellamae Productions - you won't be disappointed!
