A little bit about me....

I am a 45 year old mother of a terrific, smart, goofy and incredibly talented 10 year old son! I married my wonderful husband last February in Destin, Florida! He is my rock in every way. He supports me and is always willing to be my muscle for the heavy lifting, literally! In addition to a new husband and my son, we have a noisy little pack of weiners. Little Legs, Big Attitudes. We have Joie who is the Queen Ween, Rizzo (the only male) Fiona and Wednesday Adams. We justify having four dogs because they all fit on one couch cushion!

Since I was 16 years old, I have worked hard. I have held every job title in the food and beverage industry from hosting and bartending to cooking and serving, adding 10 years of restaurant management to my resume. Then I rolled right into the world of events 12 years ago. For the past eight and a half years, I was the Event Director at a private country club hosting anywhere from 30-50 events per month where I was able to more than double the annual banquet sales prior to my arrival! I have been told that I have an unmatched work ethic and I take a lot of pride in that statement.

Recently I decided that it was time to leave the "corporate world" but wanted to continue doing what I love, only now it will be from the comfort of home, where I will be able to spend more time with my family. I absolutely love planning events, especially weddings. I truly have a passion for helping others bring their visions to life and in the end, it is so rewarding to see how grateful my clients are with my professionalism, attention to detail and dedication to them. I always strive for excellence no matter how big or small the event is and I make sure every detail is perfectly executed for each and every one of them. I have been humbled over the years by the incredibly gracious, kind words and accolades from my clients that speak for my hard work.

Welcome to your event planning destination......

This is where your ideas come to life and I will be here with you every step of the way to ensure that it does. Whether your event is an intimate affair for a few close friends or a lavish event for hundreds, I will touch on every detail to ensure the perfect outcome.

I bring to the table a combined total of 30 years in the hospitality industry between restaurant service and management and as an Event Director. I have touched on every position in Food and Beverage and feel that my background in these services is what helps to create a flawlessly, executed event. I can offer as much or as little help as you need, however, full custom design is my specialty!

From the very beginning, I will help you to choose the best and most talented vendors to work with. I will help you find that perfect location to host your event that best suits your needs. And together, we can create a one of a kind experience.

IN THEIR WORDS

Elena helped planned our wedding last August and she is the BEST in the business. She’s extremely organized, detailed oriented, passionate, creative , excellent communicator & responsive.

Elena made the wedding process easy. I was able to communicate my visions to her and she brought them to life! She let Chris and I look at our venue first before our guest and I broke down with how beautiful it looked.

We had a stressful moment where we thought our band was not going to show up. Elena was on it and emailing all of her connections for backup options. She sent me a list within hours. Luckily, our band did show up and everything fell into place. Elena will be there to support you and help make sure the day is stress free for the bride and groom.

You want a wedding planner who is passionate about the business and loves their job and Elena embodies all of that. You can tell she thoroughly loves what she does for a living. You couldn’t ask for a better planner than Elena!

Our wedding day wouldn’t have been possible without Elena. I can’t thank her enough for her help, support, and patience throughout the entire planning process, and she made it SO EASY. If you’re looking for a coordinator who will be just a text or call away any day of the week, who will show up at every rehearsal and planning event, and will even show up at your house to make sure all is well the morning of your wedding despite all the other craziness going on, then this is your person. I would

absolutely recommend Elena to anyone looking for a wedding day coordinator - I promise that you won’t regret booking her!

Elena was phenomenal to work with while planning our wedding. My wedding was the first wedding my side of the family had seen in over 10 years, so knowing where and how to start was beyond me. On top of all of that, we planned a wedding in South Bend while living in Indianapolis. She made everything work beautifully. We told her our “must haves”, ideas, and our budget and she gave us recommendations on how to make it all work together seamlessly. Elena was readily available in person and through phone with advice and feedback. Arguably the best part of working with Elena is knowing, with all her experience, I could trust her to make our day perfect. And it was exactly that. Elena is the best!!! Thank you for helping us create our favorite fairytale!
