Elizabeth was an extremely organized and helpful day of coordinator for our wedding this year. From the first time I talked to her to the end of our wedding night, she was very pleasant, organized and attentive. We met virtually multiple times leading up to the wedding to ensure she had all the details. She met my constant texts with information and questions with quick responses and assurances. On the day of, she helped with anything and everything we asked for and quickly solved the few issues that came up. We are so thankful we found her and would recommend to anyone needing a day of coordinator for their wedding or special event!

Elizabeth was hands-down incredible. She was incredibly organized leading up to our event, scheduling many sessions with us and connecting with every single one of our vendors ahead of time. Elizabeth came to our rehearsal alongside her day-of assistant and was pragmatic in planning out the next day. On the day of the wedding, Elizabeth coordinated all set up (and even dropped everything in the event of an emergency - and quickly solved the emergency!). She also made sure everything was packed up and taken care of after the event. Would absolutely recommend her services!

I interviewed a few different coordinators before speaking with Elizabeth and we instantly clicked. She has an easy vibe to get along with but also handled my needs and got it done...

. I hired her as a day-of coordinator as I had the majority of my wedding planned but wanted back up on the day. It was such a relief to have Elizabeth there handling all the background things so I could focus on my new husband and our friends and families. Her fees were budget friendly and her responsiveness and communication was outstanding!

l issues before they arise. Elizabeth is incredibly organized, creative, patient, and genuinely caring, which makes the planning process feel seamless rather than stressful. She communicates clearly and proactively without ever overwhelming you, even during high-pressure moments. Her attention to detail and ability to balance logistics with creativity truly sets her apart, and you would not regret for a second hiring her to plan your wedding or event.

She is very communicative and day of we didn’t have to worry about anything- she connected with all of our vendors, made sure they were set up and knew where to be, her team helped figure out some final details, and she brought joy and professionalism to the day. Highly recommend!
