Elle Ellinghaus & Co

ts from design to day of coordination. She helped tie all of the little pieces together and really allowed me to balance wedding planning while working full time. I would recommend Elle & Co. to anyone and everyone.

She has a great way of taking overwhelming tasks and making them manageable (and fun!). Lauren was so helpful in both the design phase and the logistics phase. The week of, we handing the planning off to Amy. Amy was able to pick up and run the show perfectly. Lauren and Amy helped me tremendously through hard, week of decisions. Our friends and family loved every detail that Lauren and Amy helped execute. No one knew we had to move towards a rain plan because all of the details looked so intentional. I cannot thank them enough for helping me bring our vision to life!!

oughout the entire process, brought so much creativity, and used her strong vendor relationships to make sure every detail came together perfectly. We got married at the Four Seasons in Washington DC, and she had worked with everyone there before, which made coordination so easy. She always balanced honesty with kindness — exactly what we needed when making decisions and prioritizing. Jillian made the planning process fun and shared in our excitement every step of the way. She is extremely organized and a fantastic communicator, always clear about what she was working on and when we could expect updates. On the wedding day, my mom and I were completely stress-free because we trusted Jillian and her team had it all handled — and she did. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, I can’t recommend her enough. We miss working with her already.

sion, every detail, and every dream we shared for our wedding day. She listened so closely to our vision and somehow managed to bring it to life even more beautifully than we ever could have imagined! Her organization, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched, but what makes her truly special is her heart. She cared so deeply about us as a couple and made us feel so seen and supported every step of the way! Every email, every meeting, every tiny question she was always there with patience, warmth, and the most comforting presence. She also connected us with our dream team of vendors who made every part of our day perfect. On our wedding day, we were able to be fully present and soak in every moment because we knew she had everything handled perfectly behind the scenes. Seeing our vision come together so seamlessly was like stepping into a dream, and we owe that entirely to her! Through this journey, Chatara has become so much more than a planner to us. She has become a dear friend! Someone we trust, admire, and feel so grateful to have had by our side during such a special time in our lives! If you are looking for someone who will bring your dreams to life, who will support you with all her heart, and who will become a true friend along the way, look no further than Chatara and Elle & Co! We cannot imagine our wedding without her, and we are endlessly thankful for everything she did to make it the most magical day of our lives!

Jillian was local to Baltimore because she made working with me in Virginia so easy. She frequently battled 95 traffic for hours just to meet at my venue and plan with me — something others would cancel for. Jillian has an eye and special touch for everything big and small, from the details of a seating chart from knowing how to order and arrange our florals (something I had zero perspective on) and she guided me with ease, always making my opinion feel valued and never that she was the expert who knew best (although she always did!!). She helped me navigate big emotions and tough conversations as my venue went through personnel changes that left me feeling stressed. She took care of everything and ensured everything went smoothly leading up to & on the big day. She even helped me change into my reception dress when I was sweaty from the dance floor — actually one of my favorite memories of the night :) if you want someone to breath life, love, and light into your wedding, hire Jillian!!

d made my experience and day so perfect. Our bridal parties and families could not rave about her enough. I highly recommend!!!

She’s been incredible at helping us discover our style, choosing colors, and bringing our vision to life. If you want to avoid any planning or color coordination mishaps, definitely book Lauren! Her advice and suggestions are truly invaluable in making everything come together beautifully. :)

sh, she exceeded all of our expectations. Lauren was incredibly responsive—any time we had a question or concern, she was quick to reply and always available to lend her expertise. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring every element of our big day came together perfectly. From the smallest décor pieces to the overall flow of the event, she made sure nothing was overlooked. What really stood out was her organizational skills. Everything ran smoothly, and it was clear she had thought of every logistical aspect. She kept us on track and worked tiredly to make the planning process as little stressful as possible. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing because we knew [Lauren and her team had everything under control. Her communication with us, our vendors, and even our family was top-notch. She handled all the moving parts with grace and professionalism, making sure everyone was on the same page. Speaking of family, Lauren was a supportive and calming presence when we experienced some family drama leading up to the wedding. She managed it with such tact and care, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day. If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, detail-oriented, communicative, and a true advocate for your vision, Lauren is the one! She made our wedding day an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful for her dedication and hard work. The best decision we made was to work with Lauren. Book Elle & Co, specifically Lauren! You won’t regret it! Thank you, Lauren, for making our dream wedding a reality!

d precision, making the day both beautiful and stress-free. The entire event exceeded my expectations thanks to Lauren!!!

life in ways that exceed all expectations. I am a wedding photographer, so I have worked with a lot of planners and seen a variety of styles of work, and Lauren is at the very top! At a recent wedding we did together, she completely transformed the wedding couple's home for their celebration and it was absolutely stunning—I was speechless! It's clear that Lauren is passionate about her work - not only does she love what she does, but she also excels at it! She is a GEM! - La Vie En Rose (lverphoto.com)

was everything my daughter had hoped for and more... it far exceeded our expectations, and it was all because we had the good fortune to work with Jillian from Elle Ellinghaus & Co. Jillian was with us every step of the way with her knowledge, her support, her creativity, her knowledge and her expertise. She answered every question, addressed every concern, was always available for us no matter the time of day, and she made sure that this wedding was exactly what we wanted and hoped for...and it was, plus so much more!! I cannot emphasize enough, or praise enough, how wonderful it is to work with Jillian. We will never be able to thank her enough for the day she helped us create...it was the most joyful day of our lives, and we have Jillian to thank for that! I cannot imagine there being anyone better to be with, to work with and to have in your court, than Jillian. Thank you, Jillian, for everything. You are a gem and we are forever grateful!

t of hands. Their week-of support was simply unparalleled. From the outset, Lauren's dedication and foresight were remarkable. She anticipated details we hadn’t even considered and deftly arranged a rain backup transportation plan, which turned out to be a lifesaver. Her proactive approach, coupled with her insightful advice and seamless vendor connections, transformed what could have been a stressful planning process into an absolute joy. Lauren's availability and responsiveness were outstanding. She was always there to answer our questions and offer valuable insights. In the crucial week leading up to our wedding, she was available at a moment’s notice, meticulously tying up every last detail. The creativity Lauren brought to our wedding was extraordinary. She took our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined, showcasing all our months of planning with effortless beauty and elegance. Lauren and her team made our wedding not just special but a true reflection of our personalities and love story. Lauren's connection with our vendors was seamless. She ensured everyone had exactly what they needed, and any potential hiccups were managed with grace and efficiency. She even assisted us in arranging “happy birthday” to be sung to our two flower girls, turning 6 and 1 the week of the wedding. She also assigned a team member to escort in the Orioles Bird who made a surprise appearance for our guests during cocktail hour! Ushering him in during our ceremony, with our guests none the wiser. One moment that stood out was when she discreetly removed a tip jar we hadn’t planned for, knowing we had already taken care of tipping the bartenders. Her thoughtful actions ensured everything flowed smoothly, keeping our families and guests at the forefront of her mind. Another was when we surprised our bridal party with a dance floor champagne toast — a detail we forgot to tell her about, but she stepped in and magically made multiple bottles of champagne appear at a moments notice. On the day of the wedding, Lauren and her team executed a master plan that was detailed and perfectly timed. Every aspect of the day went off without a hitch. Their meticulous attention to detail was beyond anything we could have imagined. If there were any issues, we never knew about them, which is a testament to their flawless coordination. We cannot thank Lauren and the Elle & Co. team enough. They helped us created a magical experience that will forever be etched in our hearts. Our guests were equally impressed, with many commenting on the seamless and well-thought-out details of the day. I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren and the Elle & Co. team to anyone seeking a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make their special day extraordinary. We can’t thank them enough for their incredible support and professionalism that has left an indelible mark on our lives. Thank you, Lauren and Elle & Co., for making our wedding day a perfect, unforgettable celebration of love!

you feel at ease right off the bat - she and I bonded over so many things it was like we were best friends already! Her kindness, organization, positive outlook, industry knowledge, and passion for her work shined through the moment I met her and I knew I could trust her immediately. Leading up to the wedding she helped me navigate a few tricky situations with grace, ease, and organization. On the day of my wedding I was completely stress free because I knew Lauren had it all under control - and she did! Lauren went above and beyond for me in so many ways. I am so thankful for her attention to detail, paying close attention to everything and treating my wedding with the care and passion as if it was her own. I cannot recommend Lauren and Elle Ellinghouse & Co. enough! Any bride would be lucky to have Lauren as her coordinator or planner!

en stayed on top of everything. She got over 15 florist quotes within a couple days. Our main florist wasn't getting the right image and she helped me find another florist a couple weeks before the proposal that got what I wanted. I highly recommend Lauren (extremely responsive- multiple times that she had an out of office message on her email, but texted back almost immediately). We couldn't be happier.

ktail, and reception area. Her knowledge and talent for wedding planning surpassed all our expectations. Every detail was thought out and implemented the day of the wedding. The wedding timeline went seamless, she worked with all vendors. We ran ahead of schedule for pictures, ect… We had complete confidence in her ability to execute and deliver the wedding of our dreams. Lauren was extremely professional and easy to work with. No questions and advice were too many. We honestly could not have done it without her.

there. From our initial call, through email coordination, and day of event, everything was executed flawlessly and in such an organized way. It was wonderful to work with them as a vendor, their organization allowed me to focus and create art from a calm and easy place! I can’t recommend Elle and Co enough for your wedding, and look forward to working with them again real soon!

erfect day!!

sure that we were on top of decision making during the wedding planning process. We could not recommend Elle & Co enough!

night, always with a thoughtful and enthusiastic response. She was indispensable on many matters and more so the day of, putting out fires I hadn't even known about until after. For that, I can never thank her enough for being our voice to ensure our vision was executed to perfection.

hly! Our first meeting was a virtual zoom call, and we instantly knew we wanted to work with her! She was friendly and knowledgeable and I could tell we could trust in her to do an amazing job on our wedding day. Lauren sends you a detailed planning packet once you book to help guide the wedding planning, and she emails super fast with responses. We met with her to review our packet for the month of wedding coordination package, and she asked us things we hadn’t even thought of, gave us suggestions, and then took over all vendor contact which was great! She helped us find a linen company, and answered our various emails about linen selections. She also sent an extensive timeline that not only impressed us, but also our vendors and family members as well! Everyone knew where to be and when to be there. On the wedding rehearsal day and the day of the wedding, Lauren led everyone with ease, and kept the day running smoothly! Our day would not have gone as smoothly if it wasn’t for her! If you need a day of or month of coordinator, or a full wedding planner, make sure to book with Elle Ellinghaus and work with Lauren. It’ll be the best experience!!

ail from the start, and so highly organized. After each of our many phone calls, she sent us a list of what had been accomplished, and what still needed to be done. She went with us to the caterers for tastings, and she was on site the day our reception tent was set up. She was in regular contact with all of our vendors to be sure everyone was on the same page and to get everyone on board with our timeline. Her organizational skills are remarkable. In addition to her superb professional abilities, Chatara was fun to work with. She's warm and smart and funny. She's positive and optimistic and relaxed. I'm sure there may have been moments during our wedding day that were stressful for her, but we never had a clue. She managed everything with grace. She was always available to us and we always ended our calls with her feeling reassured. We wish we could give a 10-star rating to Chatara and EED. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

nghaus & Co. If I could assign a million stars to express my gratitude, I would do so without hesitation, a thousand times over. Jillian's impact on my wedding planning journey was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very moment I first met her, I instinctively knew she was the perfect choice. Her kindness, exceptional personality, and wealth of experience immediately put me at ease, and she swiftly became more than a wedding planner; she became a cherished member of our family. Throughout the emotional rollercoaster that is wedding planning, Jillian's unwavering support and guidance were invaluable. Little did I know at the outset just how much she would preserve my mental well-being over the course of the year and a half that followed. I only wish I had begun expressing my gratitude to her much sooner. Our meticulously planned day took an unexpected turn when tropical storm Ophelia made a forceful appearance on September 23, 2023, in North Beach, Maryland. Our carefully arranged outdoor wedding, two years in the making, was literally swept away. To say I was devastated would be an understatement, and I am still on the path to recovery. However, what kept me going, what provided me with strength during this challenging time, was the unwavering commitment of Jillian and our other incredible vendors. Married under the tent that was originally intended for our reception, thanks to their incredible efforts, my dream wedding became a reality. Jillian's dedication extended far beyond the call of duty. She ensured my husband and I stayed dry as we made our way into the tent for the processional. She herself was soaked to the bone and shivering, but none of that mattered to her. Our well-being was her sole concern. Our day began and ended with an emotional hug, a shared acknowledgment of the challenges we were about to face and a heartfelt celebration of our resilience. I could have embraced Jillian for hours at the end. Words cannot fully capture the depth of her excellence, and writing this review has stirred genuine emotions. In truth, this testimonial barely scratches the surface of Jillian's remarkable capabilities and the profound impact she had on our wedding day. I am genuinely moved as I compose this message. For anyone seeking a wedding planning service that is truly exceptional, I wholeheartedly endorse Elle Ellinghaus & Co. Planning a wedding can be a challenging journey, often laden with heightened emotions, particularly within family dynamics. With Jillian by our side, we navigated these waters with grace and mostly smiles. Her contributions were immeasurable. Thank you, Jillian, and thank you to Elle Ellinghaus & Co, for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience. With heartfelt gratitude, Rebecca Wood Vincent

o comfortable and excited about the whole journey. We met with a handful of wedding planners, but she was the only one that sat down with us, heard our story and listened to what we wanted. She made everything so easy, helped me pick out every vendor and helped plan not only one wedding but two weddings for us (Indian and American). She answered every email in less than an hour and texted me back almost immediately every time. She was extremely hands on when it came to communicating with vendors. Which I think is one of the most daunting parts about the process. She reviewed and negotiated contracts for me and helped us score a deal on almost every single vendor we booked. She truly is an expert in the field when it comes to knowing what vendors to work with. We met up in person a handful of times where we went over timeline, what was still needed, and just talked about how we (my husband and I) were feeling. It was very important to us to be kept on track with our budget; She provided a budget tracker for us and communicated about the pricing for vendors along the way. Leading up to the wedding (month/week) she made sure we were on track with our timeline and had all the items. She even let me send items to her house, so she could bring them to the venue, and I didn’t have to worry about it. There were plenty of times the week of the wedding I called her in a panic or just to vent and she was always there and available to talk. (Above and beyond) She not only worked with me (The bride) but my extended family as well. My family still talks about how amazing Jillian and her team were. For both weddings Jillian and her team were incredible. They ensured that everything was in order and organized. She brought her life saving suitcase with all the goodies. Let me tell you it helped so much because my bridesmaids forgot a couple of important items and they had them available to us. When we did the ballroom reveal I cried tears of joy and still cry thinking of how amazing it was. She truly made my vision come to life! Both days went extremely smooth and were beautiful thanks to Jillian. We worked with Jillian for a little over a year and half, and I miss her so much. I still am in awe about how amazing her and the EED team is. I cannot recommend them enough!

s unmatched. Without her, I do not know where we would be. I was planning my Baltimore wedding from across the country while living in Seattle. All the while, my fiancé at the time was deployed with no ability to communicate. Jillian was so gracious, and provided an extra sense of “it will all be okay, I got you” throughout the planning process. In what was already a very anxious time for my family she provided an extra level of care while keeping us on track. I don’t think she will ever know how much of a positive impact her tenderness had on an indecisive and nervous bride - she was simply wonderful. Jillian meticulously curated the best possible team in the DMV. Our vendors, were the absolute best of the best. With Jillian at the helm, we felt confident, and comfortable going into the day of. She listened, was patient, and really brought our vision to life. The day of was just spectacular. We got married at the Baltimore Museum of Art and it was jaw droppingly beautiful. It was perfection! You know your wedding planner knocked it out of the park, when the guests are on awe of the space. From the champagne tower seating chart, to the string quartet, to the perfectly timed dances/speeches, to the day of paper, to the day of emergency kit strapped to her waste Jillian hit a grand slam, and then some. There was not a wrinkle in a linen, a fork out of place. When we got back to our hotel room that night, my bouquet was on the night stand, and rose peddles lined the floor. Such a nice touch! The only question I had driving to my mother in laws the morning after was, "Can we do it all again so I can relive it one more time?" My wedding was over seven months ago and I still have people reaching out to me to not only compliment the cocktail hour/reception but ask who the heck put it all together and how can I do the same for my wedding? My answer is simple: Run, don’t walk to EED. And ask for Jillian ;)

person for us! She listened and the entire Elle Ellinghaus & Co crew executed without a hitch. From the first meet and greet, our entire experience was amazing. We can not say enough about everyone that worked with Lauren to put together a day we will never forget. The entire team and all the suggested vendors were professional, stayed within budget and so creative! Hands down , Lauren is the best!

munication, planning, day of timeline and much more to allow me to enjoy the last month before my wedding. They allowed the day to run smoothly, handled all the chaos on the wedding day and kept me as calm as I could be. They truly were the best blessing the last month before my wedding. They were worth every penny and more!

s truly a dream wedding.

ll of the vendors and everything else involved in the planning. She is warm and social. I loved the suitcase of emergency supplies - everything from hairclips to Tide-stain-remover that had everything we needed. We would hire her again, and highly recommend her! She's extraordinary. Thank you, Lauren!

alm during my day and it had a lot to do with her. Thank you Lauren!! 💕

dinating with vendors, to planning the ceremony and reception, to executing everything on the day of. Starting a month before the wedding, Jillian jumped in and made what was becoming a very stressful lead-up a complete breeze. At our first meeting, she walked us through the ways in which she would take over coordinating with vendors, assuaged all of our stresses concerning details for the wedding day, and gave us easy (and elegant) solutions for things we had either not been aware we needed to think about, or things that we had unreasonably procrastinated dealing with. Then, over the course of the month, she worked with all of our various vendors to get them on the same page and ensure that they knew what we wanted and what the venue required. She developed a detailed, minute-by-minute plan for the day of the wedding (and the rehearsal the day before) and helped us fill in gaps that we wouldn’t have even known existed. During the month, she was extremely responsive—responding to emails within minutes no matter the time of day—and also very proactive—getting us to make decisions on last-minute details in time to make sure there was time to implement those details. And then, on the day of the wedding, she was absolutely indispensable. She and her assistant were like field generals, getting everyone where they needed to be when they needed to be there, dealing with emergencies that popped up, and moving us and our guests seamlessly from the ceremony, to the reception, through dinner, and to dancing. Jillian and her assistant went above and beyond when my (the bride’s) false lashes came loose during the reception and ran to several different stores to find eyelash glue! Speaking to how important she was in bringing everything together and executing the plan, we’re certain that we’re only aware of a small portion of what she did on the day of the event to make everything go as perfectly as it did. In short, we cannot possibly express how grateful we for all that Jillian did for us—thank you so much Jillian!!!

week of our wedding and our wedding weekend stress free and so relaxed! She makes her clients feel like family and truly has a eye for detail (she even added the floral decoration to our wedding cake)! She spent so much time cultivating relationships with my husband and me and all of our vendors that you could clearly tell that she is not only good at her job, but that she loves what she does as if it's her own wedding! I couldn't recommend EED or Lauren more!! They're the best in the business!

al throughout the entire process. She is very down to earth and extremely polished. She was an amazing person for my mom and I to work with as we navigated the very detailed wedding planning process (both for the first time) - she gave honest and realistic information and was patient with all of my questions. Lauren took the time to understand what was important to me as a bride, and helped me think through what and how to prioritize - she did not push us to add anything trendy or unnecessary onto the day and she really focused on making sure what was most important to us was executed perfectly. Her vendor recommendations were all amazing; we were so happy with every vendor that she suggested. The month of the wedding, Lauren took over with correspondence with vendors and stepped in to finalize details during a very busy time for me as the bride! And on the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly and turned out beautifully. The day was absolutely perfect in every way, and I was so grateful to have had her there, making sure it turned out just as I had envisioned.

a year to plan our dream wedding and boy did she knock it out of the park. I'm an anxious person in general so having Jillian there along the way to help talk me down was incredible and so needed! Aka, she has a side hustle as a therapist! She was always there to answer my numerous questions and random thoughts with a cheerful, "girl, I got you covered!" Every single detail was accounted for and when I say she gave us the wedding of our dreams, I really mean it. We're still on cloud 9 and it's been almost a month! There will never be enough words or characters to express how grateful I am to Jillian. Honestly, we gained a forever friend!

der control.

f the way. She is truly an expert in her field and has the experience to find the best vendors and worked so hard to get me everything I wanted within my budget. We did an outdoor tented wedding at a private residence and she was on top of all of the logistics and made it look easy. I did the Right Hand Woman package and it was the best money we spent (my husband agrees). After sharing my vision, she handled coordinating with all of the vendors and I would just have to sign off on the proposal. She was also extremely patient with last minute changes and exploring our options (even though I think we landed on what she had originally suggested every time!!). Day of, she executed perfectly and handled every obstacle with grace. She even held off thunderstorms, which were a 100% chance on our wedding day (I had never heard of burying knives, but it works!!). Our wedding day was a dream down to every last detail. Jillian is the absolute best!!! <3

them I heard nothing but great things. From the first time I spoke to Lauren, I felt like I had known her for years. She has the most warm, calming demeanor, which is the best thing a girl can ask for when planning a wedding. She was so responsive and organized and sent us an amazing document to take us through the planning process. She responded to every question and email immediately and had great recommendations for vendors as well. If other vendors weren’t responding to us, she was happy to step in and do her part to get a response. Lauren met with us at our venue several times and took over communicating with all of our vendors the month of the wedding. She ensured everyone was on the same page with our timeline (which I have to say was pages and pages of meticulous work!) It took so much off of our plate not having to respond to questions and organize a bunch of vendors the month of our wedding. Everyone says things will always go wrong on your wedding day, but I honestly can say my husband and I both said at the end of the night how we couldn’t think of one thing that went wrong. That was all thanks to Lauren and her behind the scenes magic. I had not a worry or stress on my wedding day because I knew Lauren had it under control. After our wedding, she even reached out to a vendor for a refund of an item which she did not think was in the best shape (which we honestly didn’t even notice). We so appreciated her attention to detail and her willingness to always go the extra mile. We all said after the wedding we truly missed working with each other because it was such a pleasant, fun experience. I now consider Lauren a friend and so grateful to have had her be such a big part of our special day. Trust me, look no further!!

upgraded to planning services, and Lauren helped design a special package for us to fill in the gaps we still needed to plan. Lauren is THE MOST responsive (probably the only person I've met who emails as quickly as I do), and she took our original ideas and refined them for what our new day would be. We could go on, but ultimately what we'll say is that our wedding day was PERFECT. Lauren truly took my bare bones Pinterest board and a color scheme and came up with the most gorgeous design. Whenever anything came up on the day or before, Lauren was quick to handle it, and when she had to fix something, it turned out even better than it had before. We'll miss planning with her, but we're so grateful we found her for our day. She was so kind and lovely throughout our entire process, and the day was everything we dreamed of and more! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!

working together to make our day run smoothly. We were amazed by the hustle we saw from Chatara and her team and appreciated the little details she thought of throughout the night to make it so memorable for us! We would 100% recommend Chatara and the EED team for your wedding day. It was one of the investments we made!

erstanding your own personal style and making suggestions that fit perfectly. I felt like I was constantly responding "perfect!" to any suggestion she had (and my daughter and I are usually pretty picky). She is one of the most organized people I've ever met in my life and was always available and on top of every little detail. I found it even more telling that every one of our vendors kept saying to me, "You are so lucky, you have the best wedding planner." I couldn't agree more!" Chatara was not the main reason my daughter's wedding was the wedding of the decade. Thank you Shea! xoxo

ait to be able to come to our next event! This is the definition of EED in the dictionary. Chatara was a dream to work with and I can't recommend her or this company enough!

e did the research and narrowed it down to the TOP wedding planners. One day she said "I FOUND THE ONE". Of course, I normally need some convincing. We got on the phone with Jillian and discussed goals, timelines and concepts. I was impressed with her approach that involved excitement for our big day and the tactical strategies needed to accomplish everything the way we wanted. Jillian and Team Elle were not the cheapest we found. I expressed concern and mentioned that if we did move forward I expected that through their contacts, resources and vendors we would save more money with them than without their services. Jillian gave some examples of cost savings over the phone and we made the leap forward to hire her and her amazing team. It was the BEST decision we made. Even though I am sure Jillian has many clients she was always available. She made us feel like she was truly invested in us, the outcome and the experience. Jillian continually found ways to make our wedding a true experience for our guests and intimate for us as a couple beginning our journey. On the day of the event, weather played a factor. Jillian and her team made it a smooth transition and we ultimately ended up with Plan C. Her Plan C was most people's plan A. Everyone at the event, said it was amazing and we were blessed with a break in the weather to enjoy under the tent and under the clear blue sky. We still have people that comment on the amazing day and event. Jillian even found the caterer for us which did save us thousands. Her contacts, ideas and option-based approach allowed us to fill in control and never overwhelmed. We had a short engagement, unique venue and many challenges during covid. Jillian truly made our planning, wedding day and experience amazing. Thank you Jillian & Elle for everything!! James & Jessica

re than a planner for us--she was a friend who became family. She EXCEEDED what we ever would have expected a planner to be, and our wedding was even better than we could have ever imagined!! Jillian is organized, makes you feel SO special, has AMAZING taste, and most importantly she LISTENS!! I could literally write pages about my experience with her, but I am trying to keep it short so I don't loose anyones attention haha!! I was a COVID bride, and was so gracious for her support during that time. Remember that your wedding planning experience is not only about the wedding day, but the entire process leading up to it. I loved that Jillian made me feel like a bride during the entire journey which is why she is truly one of a kind. Finally, I will share one of my favorite memories working with Jillian and her team. When my husband and I came back to our hotel room on our wedding night, we came back to a clean, thoughtfully decorated room. Our wedding license was on display, the broom we jumped over was at the end of the bed. My veil was on the nightstand wrapped and staged perfectly next to a set of florals from the reception. My shoes and the champagne flutes were packed up in their original boxes, cake in the refrigerator, all of the speeches, menus, vow books were all beautifully on display. literal 5 star service, from beginning to end. Cant say enough great things about Jillian!!!

Throughout the entire planning process she was my advocate and cheer leader. On the day of, it was clear Lauren knew what she was doing - she confidently and seamlessly ran the show, making it a smooth and wonderful day for us! Choosing EED was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. You won't regret working with this powerhouse team!!
