I had the pleasure of working with Leslie and Elise at Love Affair for my dream beach wedding and I can't say enough good things about them! They were so organized and helpful throughout the entire planning process, and they made sure that my wedding day was absolutely perfect.
One of the things I loved most about Leslie and Elise was that they really listened to what I wanted and helped me to make my vision of a romantic, floral filled, classy beach wedding a reality. They had a wealth of experience and knowledge, and they were able to offer me great advice on everything from table settings, to hair stylists to catering. Our wedding venue was a blank canvas but they went above and beyond to make sure that all of my vendors were top-notch and reflected our style.
On my wedding day, Leslie and Elise were there every step of the way to make sure that everything went smoothly. They were calm and collected under pressure, and they handled any unexpected hiccups with grace and ease. They turned out venue into a floral wonderland and even made sure our dog could come! I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me plan and execute my dream wedding.
I highly recommend working with Leslie and Elise at Love Affair. They are truly the best in the business, a great value and they will make your wedding day everything you've ever dreamed of and more.
I highly recommend Love Affair! This was the first wedding in our family and - right from the start - Elise and Amy made us feel at ease with the whole planning process. They responded quickly and professionally to every question we had, and offered excellent advice based on their many years of experience. All of the vendors they recommended turned out to be terrific as well! The set-up, rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, reception, brunch, and event clean-up all went smoothly. They were a pleasure to work with, and we could not have been more pleased!
Elise! She and her team were amazing and truly understood what we were going for and helped bring it to life. From finding vendors who were a great match for our tastes to making sure no ball was dropped or deadline forgotten, we appreciated having Love Affair on our team and would have been so stressed without them. The day of was beautiful and Elise went above and beyond to make sure it went perfectly. Hire them- you won’t regret it!
Elise is the best! What a kind kind heart Elise has! She took our last minute microwedding head on and ran with our ideas and our vision and made it a reality! We definitely could not have done it without her! Everything was absolutely beautiful!
Thank Goodness for Love Affair..... Our wedding was hosted at a private property, my husband and I did not want our parents to be stressed during the wedding - we wanted them to enjoy our big day. Love Affair was so detailed oriented and took care of so much leading up to the event. I was blown away by their attentiveness. Elise and her team are stellar professionals, I was so comfortable speaking with them and working with them throughout everything. I'm sad my wedding is over because I will miss working with them!! 10/10 recommend!
We’re so happy we hired Love Affair! We started our wedding process with a different planner who completely neglected us, so we were thrilled when we started working with Leslie! She is responsive, professional and organized. Even though we only hired Love Affair for day of coordination, Leslie and her team were incredibly helpful throughout our planning process. We would suggest springing for the full package if that is in your budget! Our wedding was at Hamilton House Gardens, which is a beautiful spot but there was a ton of rain right before our wedding so the area under our tent became swampy. Despite these conditions, the Love Affair team setup everything beautifully and people didn’t even care about their ruined shoes J The rain luckily held off for our ceremony and cocktail hour but once we were under the tent there was intermittent rain. Despite these adverse weather conditions, the Love Affair team kept things moving! Our lead day of coordinator was great at reacting to the changing conditions. She could have taken a stronger leadership position and been more proactive with the catering staff, as the caterer did not react as well to the changing conditions. Regardless, the planning and pre-wedding work from the Love Affair team was excellent! We had a wonderful wedding and were very happy overall! We highly recommend!
The crew at Love Affair were amazing!! They are always available via phone or email from the big to littlest questions. Planning a wedding across the country would not have happened without Love Affair.
I could not have had a more stress-free experience without Love Affair! Every step of the way they helped answer any questions I had and took care of absolutely everything. Taking our vision from our very first detail meeting and running with it, Love Affair found everything we needed that fit within our budget with ease. Onsite, I was happy I didn't have to stress over any of the details, set up, or answer any questions from anyone - Elise & her team were on it. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and we could not have done it without Love Affair!
I highly recommend the team at Love Affair! I booked a two-hour consultation with Leslie and it was worth every penny! The first thing that struck me was how friendly she is, I instantly felt comfortable chatting with her. She really listened to what we had in mind and offered suggestions that were a perfect fit for our personalities. She helped us to put together a budget and was spot on with cost estimates for the vendors that we've booked to date. In order to get the most out of your consultation, I recommend going prepared with a long list of questions; the more you can pick her brain, the more valuable the time will be for you. We didn't personally need a full wedding planning package for our event but, if we did, I would not have thought twice about hiring Leslie on the spot, she rocks!
I had such an amazing experience working with Leslie. As soon as she got involved a huge amount of stress was lifted off of me. I honestly don't believe I could have pulled everything off without her. Any little problem that came up she took care of. She provided us with very detailed timelines for the weekend and took care of all vendor confirmations and issues that came up before the wedding. Not only did I not have to worry about anything on my wedding day, it also allowed my family to relax and enjoy the big day. Go with Leslie for the perfect day!
