Eloquence

Hannah is the best wedding planner anyone could find! Due to Covid, we planned three weddings in three locations, for the same bride and used two other planners. After all of that Hannah came to our rescue and she was the best; helping us plan a wedding in no time with every detailed covered. She was calm, delightful, cheerful, organized, professional and a joy to work with. In addition to her meticulous planning skills, she is an artist with flower arranging! May you be as lucky as us and have the opportunity work with Hannah!

Hannah is the absolute best! Our wedding was scheduled to be a destination wedding, but when the island shut down due to covid restrictions, and we had already postponed once, we decided to move the wedding home to Bronxville, NY. Thank goodness Hannah came into our lives!! We only had 4.5 weeks to plan a new wedding from scratch, and if it wasn’t for Hannah, I truly don’t know if we would have been able to pull it off! My mom and I instantly clicked with Hannah’s fun loving personality and really enjoyed the wedding planning process. While some might think planning a wedding in a month might be stressful, Hannah kept all nerves at bay and we never felt stressed. Hannah was super organized, thoughtful and detail oriented. Our wedding ended up being perfect - from the outside no one would have known it was pulled together in a month. It was so perfect and detail oriented (thanks to Hannah) that one would have assumed it would have taken a year to plan! Hannah also did the florals for our rehearsal dinner, which were absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Hannah was the silver lining to our crazy wedding plans and I am so extremely happy and grateful that we had Hannah by our side. The only reason why I wish we had longer to plan the wedding would be that we could have spent more time with Hannah! We miss our zoom calls!

I really cannot recommend Hannah and Eloquence Events highly enough! She has helped us with 2 weddings now, and is always so well organized, calm, incredibly creative and just a delight to work with. Absolutely who you want around on the most important day of your life. She manages to keep everything on track and running smoothly at all times, and with the most wonderful smile on her face. Her insider knowledge of the wedding industry is indispensable.

There is no better wedding planner out there than Hannah at Eloquence Events. Could not recommend her more highly - truly a 100 out of 5 stars. Throughout our wedding planning process, Hannah felt like a part of the family. We started planning a 200 person wedding in 2019 before COVID was even on the horizon, she guided us through 2020 and ultimately helped us create the *perfect* 14 person wedding day for us. She did the florals (which were breathtaking and incorporated flowers from the garden we had the reception in) and designed our beautiful tablescapes. It was the most magical and elegant reception in my in-laws backyard in Greenwich - I still look at photos from the day in disbelief at how perfect it was. There's no one else I would have trusted (and enjoyed) going through the process with, despite uncertain times in a global pandemic. There's no last minute crisis Hannah isn't prepared for, and there's no seemingly impossible problem that she can't fix with an instantaneous phone call or solution. Hire her and I promise you will not regret it and one day find yourself writing a similar glowing review as this one.

If we could rate higher than 5 stars we would - Hannah is the absolute best!! Hiring Hannah as our planner was hands down the best decision we made. Despite a very challenging task of having to re-plan our wedding because of the pandemic, Hannah remained positive, confident, honest, and professional. All of her vendor recommendations were excellent and we were so happy with every single one. Thanks to Hannah our wedding day turned out to be everything we wanted and more. Hannah's planning, design, and attention to every detail is unmatched. We also hired her to do our florals which we couldn't have been happier with. They were absolutely beautiful and everything came together perfectly making a truly special day for us! Over the course of 15 months, Hannah quickly became a friend as well as our planner - she is such a pleasure to work with and we can’t thank her enough for helping us start the next chapter of our lives together. We could not have done it without her! Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

There are probably not enough complimentary verbs or adjectives to describe the respect and affection we have for Hannah Elsaesser and her abilities as a wedding planner. During a truly unprecedented time in history, Hannah pulled off one miracle after another. We had two years to plan a wedding for our only daughter – how hard could that be? Well, a pandemic, a hurricane, power outages, a wedding scaled back to a fraction of its original size and a change in venue the week before the event were not obstacles for Hannah. She renegotiated every contract and was connected to the most cooperative, pleasant, and professional vendors. She even hired entertainment and a wood carver the day of the event to transform the stump of a tree that had fallen on our lawn right where the ceremony was to occur. She never, not once, not in the slightest, ever lost her calm, her vision, her confidence, or her sense of humor. You might not think you need a wedding planner. But you need Hannah. We were ALL relaxed and happy and had the best day possible thanks to her efforts. Hire her, listen to her advice, and rely on her. You will never regret it.

Hannah and her team was such a pleasure to work with! We can’t thank her enough, for making our wedding day feel effortless and seamless and stress free! She stayed on top of all our vendors, and made sure our dreams and wishes were achieved for our Wedding Day in NYC. She is sweet and professional, I would recommend her for any bride to be! Thank you so much Hannah.

Hiring Hannah and her team was the best decision I made in our whole wedding planning process. Although we hired Hannah for the month of planning, she made herself available to answer any questions we had throughout the entire planning process. She is generous, kind, and has the most amazing contacts and vendor recommendations at every price point. Hannah is truly responsible for making my wedding dreams come true. She is a true professional who remains calm at all times and can make anyone feel like it’s all going to be okay. And if you work with her, IT WILL BE. Her organization and preparedness is unparalleled. She thought of every possible scenario and was prepared for it all. When I had no one to serve my cake at the after party, Hannah stayed late, cut it herself, and served it to my guests. She was my wedding angel. I owe so much to Hannah and am surely going to hire her for any event I ever need to plan in the future. By the end of the wedding, I felt Hannah was much more than a hired vendor but now truly a good friend. She came highly recommended by many people and I understand why. Look no further, do yourself a favor and hire Hannah and her team to help plan your wedding or event

The wedding of our son and daughter-in-law was a magical celebration. Hannah Elsaesser of Eloquence was the perfect wedding planner. Her reputation definitely preceded her, from friends, to florists to a gift specialty shop everyone sang her praises and boy were they right. Hannah's expertise in all things wedding, shined through from the tiniest details; the perfect color of cream for the reception chairs, the precise spacing of the fleur de lis on the invitation to the beautiful hint of blue of the napkins to the largest of details, her ability to capture the bride and groom's perfect wedding day vision. Hannah has a breadth of amazing vendors (we used upwards of 15) all of which we highly recommend. During planning meetings with Hannah and various vendors it was apparent from the get go that she has an wonderful rapport with them. Hannah's calm thoughtful demeanor made the whole planning process a joy, so much so I cannot imagine planning another event without her by my side. As a friend wrote about the wedding "The wedding was an exquisite jewel"

Hiring Hannah at Eloquence Events as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made during the process of planning our wedding. A huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders (bride) the first time I sat with Hannah and went over what we wanted when it came to a full-service planning coordinator. She was so detailed and kept us on track with everything we needed to get done, down to packing and preparing our welcome bags and clothes for the hotel. Hannah's thorough day of the wedding timeline kept everything running smooth and stress free for everyone, even one of my bridesmaids said that the wedding day was so stress free compared to other weddings she had previously been a part of. She is very attentive and always answered our emails and phone calls and also always checked and confirmed with us about any changes. She is truly exceptional- her value far exceeds the amount you spend for her services.

On my wedding day, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment and for that I will always be so thankful to Hannah. Throughout the 6 months we worked together before my wedding, I relied on her for guidance selecting vendors, coordinating all the logistics, thinking of all the little things that make a big difference, and being a sounding board. I was so impressed with how thorough, thoughtful and organized she was, this carried through onto our wedding day where I literally did not need to worry about anything, because it was all set. I could not recommend Hannah more, she will plan a fantastic event for you, but more importantly, she will make sure you get to enjoy the fantastic event too!

Hannah is an extraordinary wedding coordinator!! She meticulously planned both of my daughter's weddings on in Rye, NY and other in Greenwich, CT. On a professional level her attention to detail, her contacts in the business and her never ending desire to plan the wedding of your dreams come across in everything she does. On a personal level, her intuition and concern for the bride, groom and the families involved is remarkable. She has a gentle yet firm touch that is effective when "wedding issues" arise. You won't find a more qualified, diligent and kind person to make your day a lifetime memory.

Our daughter's wedding took place under a tent at our home, followed by the reception under another tent at the neighbors' water club. Lots of moving parts. None of this phased Hannah. Her detailed thinking, organization, professional input, as well as her upbeat personality, helped make the planning truly joyful. I feel grateful that Hannah was a part of our memorable day, as our day was perfect.

Hannah is an incredibly talented person - not only did she plan our 270 person wedding flawlessly, but she also created all of the flowers for the event. We had a shorter than average engagement (7 months), which meant less time for Hannah to get everything in order, and also had our wedding ceremony at Fordham University in the Bronx, with the wedding reception at our family home in Greenwich, CT (~30 minute drive). Needless to say, the logistics were challenging, but Hannah was never stressed, never overwhelmed, and made our planning meetings an absolute joy. I actually looked forward to our sessions together - something that most brides cannot say! I was studying for an exam for the majority of our engagement and wedding planning time, and I did not have to independently remember a single "to do" - Hannah would simply email me with a task when it was time for me to do it. She took all of the stress out of planning and returned the engagement period to what it really should be - a time to get excited about your new start together. Hannah beautifully coordinated the creation of a reception venue out of our backyard - also a very logistically challenging task that seemed effortless to Hannah, and the entire day went absolutely perfectly all thanks to her. She executed my ideal aesthetic off of only 3 or 4 pictures that I shared with her. Multiple people, including my mother-in-law and bridesmaids, approached me to share how impressed they were with Hannah throughout the entire wedding weekend. Hannah is elegant, poised, and calm, and I wholeheartedly recommend her not only as a wedding planner but also as a florist - she is a truly wonderful person and is outstanding at everything she does.

Hannah from Eloquence Events was MAGICAL in planning our daughters’s 250 person wedding at a club in Darien, CT this June. In addition she acted as florist for the 220 person rehearsal dinner also at a club in Darien and helped host the final brunch for 100 people at our home on Sunday of the wedding weekend. Planning a daughter’s wedding can be overwhelming but not with Hannah to help. She has great contacts and vendors and can help narrow down the many options to achieve your goal and make the evening perfect. She knows when to secure vendors do that you don’t miss out on your choices. Because of her vast experience in banquet and vendor management, she knows how to ensure a seamless flow of events and how to make guests comfortable and happy. This cannot be overlooked because not all planners have that precise knowledge and it is invaluable in planning a large event that flows smoothly. Her timeline both on the wedding weekend and throughout the planning process were invaluable. She also made suggestions about where we could save costs and achieve the vision we had. She deals with glitches with poise and creativity. Hannah has impeccable taste and her flower arrangements are stunning. Hannah is calm, organized, funny and truly helped us navigate the entire process with enjoyment. She guided the bride and groom through the day with love and precision allowing us to be the hosts and enjoy the event. She is a true professional but quickly also became a friend. We have received so many compliments from our guests and I attribute the success to having Hannah to help. There are not enough words of praise to describe Hannah.

Hannah was a WONDERFUL wedding planner for my wedding at the Belle Haven Club last September. She is super organized and rolls with the punches (...basically my mistakes...) and whatever events that our big day brought on! Hannah is a great problem solver, and has a calm demeanor at all times....no feat is to great for Hannah! I highly recommend her.

I strongly recommend Hannah at Eloquence Events for event & wedding planning and floral design! I am so happy Hannah planned our wedding. Hannah was disciplined, hard working and thoughtful. She was well experienced and had invaluable insight for design ideas and vendors, and leveraged her existing relationships to help us plan a beautiful celebration. Hannah had a high level timeline and plan, and treated every decision as incredibly personal and customized to our needs and expectations. Hannah always had time for us, meeting at the venue, meeting me in NYC to check in, and answering calls and emails. Hannah helped us manage cost, and was never rigid about plans and helped us find creative solutions. I am a type-A project manager myself, and I was worried I would have trouble relinquishing control for our most important day... which was completely unfounded. I completely trusted Hannah's judgment and decision making and our events were a huge success thanks to Hannah. Poised yet firm when needed, Hannah was the perfect balance for professionally and seamlessly managing the planning and our day. It started to rain during our outdoor ceremony, and thanks to Hannah's back up plan and calm direction to guests and venue staff, we were able to quickly change plans and proceed. In addition to event planning, Hannah designed and handled all of our flowers, decor, and cake decorating. She has beautiful taste and did a wonderful job - and made everything so smooth and easy for us. Thank you Hannah for everything!!

Hannah Elsaesser was EXCEPTIONAL! She worked with us through all stages of planning. I truly believe our event was seamless thanks to her flawless execution. Hannah has a background in floral arrangement so it helped to have her input towards the styling of the event.

It was such a pleasure to work with Hannah for both my daughter and son's weddings in Greenwich, CT last year. She is simply a class act, and we love having her in our lives. In both cases, Hannah had a wonderful relationship with our families and the vendors. She executed on deadlines with precision. On the day of the weddings, everything appeared seamless. Hannah continues to help me with all of our celebrations. She's just the best!!

Hannah was so wonderful to work with. She is incredibly detail oriented and thoughtful. She worked with us to bring our dream wedding day to life. She has so much knowledge and experience in event planning and offered up several “hacks” to help us save money or time which was much appreciated! She’s also a very calming presence and overall great person to be around which is so important on your wedding day. One of my bridesmaids had a hair disaster which she promptly fixed with her own curling iron she brought along. She helped put little things together last minute like a custom cocktail menu and rose petals to throw after the ceremony. She is really a jack of all trades! I highly recommend Hannah!!!

If you are in the Greenwich, Ct area and want a no stress, have a happy time planning “the” wedding, and have smiles, use Hannah. She brings confidence, getting all the necessary things done to perfection, but not wasteful. She is professional, talented, very special in nature and an eye for details you would miss, or not think important, which would save your wedding day. She adds calmness, anticipates problems and happy to solve your tiniest of dreams, and issues. You will miss her after the event is over and wish she can be by your side forever.

Hannah did a fantastic job helping plan and execute the most amazing wedding we could have hoped for. The job was complex given the bride was living in Asia while her family was in CT, however, Hannah did a great job coordinating amongst all parties (and time zones). She ensured there was alignment and visibility on all key decisions throughout the whole process with a lot of grace and a willing smile! Importantly, she got to know the bride, her family etc, in spite of the distance, which enabled the vision to really cascade throughout the event. The party itself was over 275 people at a lovely venue that had not accommodated that many people before and Hannah worked with all parties / vendors to ensure everything went off smoothly and soundly, which it did! She has great knowledge of all the Fairfield Country vendors and was able to guide us through the selection process pretty unbiasedly. And most importantly, she was calm as a cucumber and the most helpful of hands on the wedding day, which is exactly what you want!!! I couldn't recommend Hannah more, especially if you are planning from afar or at a club setting.

Hannah is outstanding! She planned our daughter's 200 person wedding and surrounding events. We could never have done it without her. She is incredibly organized, detail oriented, and a pure joy to work with. She thought of so many things we didn't even realize we needed, and developed an organized time line and to-do lists. The wedding and parties were a huge success, mostly due to her help in the selection of vendors and products and her flawless execution. She is also cost conscious, and often found a better alternative for a better value. Her skills are boundless. On the wedding day, she was a whirling dervish and did it all: from helping with an unhappy hairdo to moving candles to dealing with an unruly guest. All with an aura of calm and a smile. She has impeccable taste, and every detail was executed perfectly and beautifully. We heard enthusiastic complements about Hannah from friends and family alike. Both my daughter and her new husband proclaimed it as "the best weekend of their lives". A lot of that was due to Hannah. This is such an important event - I wouldn't trust anyone else to plan it. Thank you Hannah!!

There should be an option to give more than five stars. Hannah Elsaesser is the most wonderful person to work with. I hired Hannah to help with my daughter's wedding. Hannah goes above and beyond in every way. She truly cares about her clients and executes the client's wishes perfectly. Hannah's organization and execution of the events leading up to the wedding is impeccable. Her staff is awesome. Because of Hannah our wedding planning was a wonderful (not stressful) experience. I never worried because she handled every detail! We had a magical wedding.

Hannah is an absolute superstar! I recommend her to absolutely everyone! She is the most perfect wedding planner you could ask for and just a really cool person! Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Hannah couldn't have been a better listener and she really helped guide me through all of the wedding planning chaos. From the start, Hannah made sure I was accomplishing all of the necessary tasks (some of which I didn't even know I had to do!), and even when I slipped behind - she would always offer her help in any way she could. She is incredibly organized and will always make sure you're on top of everything. Even though I knew she had other clients, she never made me feel like she did! She was always available for a quick phone call or one where I talked in circles about different things I liked :). She also has amazing taste and style - which was absolutely crucial when you finally put everything together. To be honest, you going into a wedding expecting at least one thing to go wrong - I'm thrilled to say there wasn't one issue and I know it was because Hannah was on top of everything. She is absolutely fantastic, and you truly can't go wrong with Hannah . Thank you, Hannah!

I predict that Hannah is so talented at her job, she may have to take down her KNOT listing because she will have too many jobs before long. Intelligent, thoughtful, a great listener, a fountain of information and super detail oriented as well as big picture focused, Hannah is a tip top wedding planner and a wonderful person to have help you organize any function. From our table settings to the tent and food, Hannah could not have been more helpful, and professional. She worked with us to make my daughter's wedding become what we wanted it to be, and truly, the wedding and Hannah's input was beyond our expectations. I truly cannot recommend Hannah more highly!

Hannah Elsaesser was highly recommended to us by other couples and even our vendors. Her reputation precedes her and we quickly found out why. Words cannot explain how diligent, professional, enthusiastic, and organized she is. Charles and I immediately felt a connection with her and knew we could trust her. She kept track of vendor contracts, served as the point person for everything involving our ceremony and reception venues, and seamlessly acted as our ambassador keeping us in the loop while keeping us out of the weeds. Hannah proved to be accessible to us for phone calls and meetings whenever we needed her - Friday nights, Sunday mornings, and every time in between. She was able to quickly troubleshoot problems and was always ready with a solution. She treated our own wedding as if it was her own and that gave us much relief allowing us to focus on more pleasant activities such as cake tasting and spending time with our wedding party. Thinking back on our wedding day, it was perfect because we had Hannah with us to steer the ship so that we could have fun and create a lifetime of memories.

Hannah was, no joke, the best thing that happened to our wedding (besides my husband). We had a short planning window, a backyard wedding and I am NOT type A...Hannah went above and beyond by not only managing all the details and vendors but also by curating details like ordering late night pizza for the after party, buying rosemary to put with the napkins, and on and on. It is hard to not wax poetic on the impact that she had on our day and how we will forever remember it.

Where do I begin? Hannah was ESSENTIAL in making sure our day went off without a hitch. For the type-A and very detail-oriented person I am, I did not stress or worry once. Having been a bridesmaid in many weddings and also a helpful wedding guest, Hannah went above and beyond making sure everything was exactly as I envisioned. She even went above and beyond especially with the surprise of white pumpkins for our entrees. To say I actually enjoyed my wedding day and soaked it up would not have been possible without her. Hannah, we (Mark, our parents and wedding party) cannot thank you enough! You truly were the best!

Hannah was the wedding planner for my sisters 250 person wedding. She was absolutely amazing. The entire weekend flowed perfectly thanks to Hannah. We had guests from all over staying for the weekend and Hannah made sure everyone had a great time. Hannah made sure everything was in place and most importantly kept us all calm the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Hannah for any wedding, we couldn't have gotten through the day without her! She is truly a wonder and we loved having her as our planner!!

You will not find a better wedding planner out there. I worked with Hannah for my 275 person wedding in Greenwich, CT, at a somewhat complicated venue with a lot of moving parts to say the least. Hannah managed EVERYTHING and kept us calm, happy and excited through it all. Her project management/day-of-coordination skills are the best I've seen (I've been a bridesmaid in many, many weddings), but it's also her taste in decor and wealth of experience in catering/vendor management that make her an incredible planner to work with. I spoke to several other planners in the Westchester County/Fairfield County area before I got Hannah's name, and the difference was palpable right off the bat. She's the full package - in addition to her expertise on everything wedding/event related, she's fun, friendly, and has a great sense of humor...but also extremely professional. My parents LOVED her, as did the groom's parents. I could not recommend her highly enough!

Hannah Elsaesser managed our daughter's formal 250 guest wedding including the rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, after-party and all activities. Her many years of banquet management were a huge asset. She did a fantastic job and was on top of every detail. During planning, she ran interference between the bride and groom and families with lots of strong opinions. She was cost conscious and eager to seek value where possible. She handled emergencies and last minute changes with good humor and grace. The wedding came off without a hitch and we got many compliments. The look and feel of the events were absolutely gorgeous, striking a balance between formal and informal. During the event, she has us scheduled carefully and kept things moving smoothly. Most important, the bride, groom and families were relaxed the day of the event and delighted with the results. Highly recommended.
