"Out of all of the fabulous vendors we had at our wedding, Mark and I are most grateful for you. We are utterly overwhelmed by the generosity, dedication and hard work you put into our special day. Words can not express my gratitude and appreciation for your time and effort. I truly felt like my wedding was perfect and exactly what I envisioned. You are both so extremely talented and know just how to bring a crowd and an event together. Thinking back, it almost feels like a dream because it seems to good to be true. Everything went smoothly, the music was fun, the food was great, and the venue looked AMAZING! It really came to life with all of the decor and embellishments. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making sure everything was flawless. All of your ideas and questions really helped keep me on track to ensure everything was finished on time. It was such a beautiful and emotional day, but those are memories I will keep with me forever. You guys are truly meant for this line of work. You are such a great team! You are both so thoughtful, organized, detail-oriented, kind-hearted, empathetic, creative, and you genuinely care about the people you're helping. I could go on and on about how much I love you both, but I could still never come close to describing how lucky I feel to have had you as part of my wedding day. I am really so thankful to have met you both and become friends with you along the way. You are excellent coordinators and amazing women. Keep it up!" These two ladies were born to be event coordinators! They are a breath of fresh air with unique ideas and refreshing enthusiasm. My wedding day would not have been as wonderful without Melanie and Nicole.

With a black and gold theme, with pink, ivory and purple accents in the flowers it was an elegant and beautiful back yard event perfectly executed down to the very last detail. There were many personal touches and a photo history of the celebrating couple. It's easy to tell that Melanie and Nicole have a passion for what they do! Their effortless style and grace made the event spectacular and the guests feel special.

I rave about Kristin and her team at ReUp Design & Events all the time. She was the best investment…read moreI could have made into my wedding. From being cheery and upbeat to organized and managing all of the little details - I give Kristin an A+! One of the things that was most helpful about ReUp Design & Events was the connections to other vendors she has. Because of her knowledge, expertise, and negotiating skills, I was able to get amazing services within our budget. Literally, she introduced us to our florist and the ice-cream cart we used plus, she looked over every contract for the other vendors. Another priceless skill Kristin brought to our wedding was her ability to mind the details. I was at a venue (a family members house) that required an impossible breakdown of the two head tables that turned into the dance floor. Kristin handled it so well, that I didn't even see the transition happen! She also trouble shot every issue that may have come up so that in the end - my groom, mother and mother-in-law (and myself!) could just enjoy the day. Lastly, Kristin was so great about just checking in with me to see how I was doing and managing the stress that comes with planning a wedding. She would do it in a way that felt thoughtful and authentic and I really appreciated that. I have several friends that are recently engaged and Kristin's phone number is the first thing I pass them. She is amazing - and such a steal for her rates. I would 100% recommend her for planning any event that you have coming up.

DO NOT BOOK STACY SHAW TO OFFICIATE YOUR WEDDING!!!!…read more Honestly should have trusted my gut from our first meeting with her and backed out. She was very cold and seemingly trying to get through our virtual meetings as fast as possible. Our ceremony was fine- very short and simple which was what we wanted and she left right after. After our wedding day we were so happy to just finally be married after a COVID postponement and done with all the planning and then we got a letter in the mail from the county clerk saying that they NEVER RECEIVED OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE!!! I emailed her immediately asking her what happened - no response. I called my planner to see if she could reach out to her cuz I never got her phone number. She got Stacy on the phone and she said that she had responded to my email, had mailed the license in and it must have gotten lost in the mail but that she had scanned a copy, would pay for any fees for a replacement, and was going to confirm with the county clerk and get back to me. A week passed and nothing - I send her more emails with no response. I finally get her on the phone and she said she's waiting for them to get back to her and should know if a few days. Another week passes, I try calling her back and am sent straight to voicemail. I call the county clerk- they answer very quickly and tell me that they never got my license and that the deadline is in two days. They tell me the process for a lost license is actually pretty easy- I just need the witnesses and the officiant to sign off on the new one and pay the fee! I've been desperately trying to get in touch with Stacy and she's just blatantly ignoring me at this point. She's blocked my number and I'm pretty sure she's a pathological liar. No idea why she can't just help fix this MASSIVE problem she created, especially when its such an easy fix. We're extremely saddened by this situation and so angry that we paid her almost $500 for essentially, nothing. We're having to make an appointment to get get remarried at the courthouse.

I would give you more stars if I could!!! Missy, thank you…read morefor being so patient, kind, and calm throughout the entire process. I loved that you scheduled the venue walk through and the rehearsal, which made everything feel more at ease.

What a great time we had!!! Thanks again, Missy!

When planning your wedding and you don't have a planner, you truly need a day of coordinator. Not…read morejust any day of coordinator you need Ellis Events. Unless you want to be stressing on keeping a time line, and all the things you want to come together. Ellis Events was highly recommended by a friend, and we highly recommend them to you. From our first interactions by email, to meeting with Missy and the weeks leading up to our wedding every ounce was smooth. Ellis Events is stellar and made our wedding run on time, smooth and made it look flawless. We could NOT have done this by watching all the IG, Tic-Tok, Pinterest DIY videos, we needed Ellis Events. This team is worth every cent and we will hire them again for any event we can! The Photo Booth they brought was packed all night, with someone right there to assist our guests. Someone right there organizing all of their perfect wedding Photo Booth props. As. LGBTQIA+ couple we felt loved right out of the gate, as the evening unfolded we felt zero worries with Missy. As our day of coordinator she knew our needs before we even realized them, that's natural skills! Ellis Events, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being the driving force who brought our wedding to life. Kept our wedding together. Kept the moms happy, and at bay, truly making our day! Ellis Events two enthusiastic thumbs way up! Five stars, we loved you guys and will forever think of you as our friends! Thank you for joining our village!

Michelle was our day-of coordinator for our wedding at Milagro Winery, and we couldn't be happier…read more My wife and I truly had the happiest day of our life, and Arenlace made that happen! First of all, Michelle knows her stuff. You can tell she's been doing this for a while. At our 1 month meeting, she told us exactly what decor we needed to buy and how many photos to print at Walgreens. She had us bring 1 bin for the ceremony, 1 bin for the cocktail hour, etc. It made preparations super easy. At our venue walkthrough, I was so glad she was there, because she would think of things that I would never. For example, we thought about having our groomsmen bus tables to save a little money. Immediately, she called out that they will probably be drinking and can't do it. Second, Michelle puts so much love and care into her job. From our initial meeting, she genuinely wanted to know us and what we were looking for. She accommodated everything we wanted. In our timeline planning meeting, we were worried that we wouldn't be able to take sunset photos and cut cake, because they would need to happen at the same time. Amazingly, Michelle put the puzzle pieces together and figured out how to do both. We would cut the cake first (3 min), then take sunset photos, then come back to serve the cake. I was so impressed. Get a coordinator who can do both! She's super responsive to emails. Even in the middle of wedding season, the communication was excellent. On our wedding day, we felt so attended to. She frequently checked in on us. She always had a smile and made us feel calm. I truly felt like I was in good hands. Choose Arenlace. You won't be disappointed.

Kevin DJ'd for my wedding in February of 2013, and it resulted in my wife walking down the aisle to…read morethe wrong song. We got his name from someone at our venue even through he wasn't on the preferred vendor's list. There seemed to be a miscommunication on the pricing at some point, and rather than looking for ways to fix it so that both parties were happy, Kevin seemed to be very focused on who said what and not very customer oriented. Keep in mind that this all came to our attention the day before the wedding as we were going to drop off all the decorations at the venue. All in all, we were disappointed that he didn't have the specific song that we wanted my wife to walk down the aisle to. In our opinion, if you don't have a song, it's very easy to buy it for $1 or go through Spotify (which is where we found the song). Additionally, our guests were disappointed that their song requests were not fulfilled.

We got married last Month and Emily was great! She has a structured spreadsheet that was really…read morehelpful in putting together our ideas on "paper" so it's easier to keep altogether. Additionally, she does have 2-3 phone call meetings leading up to the wedding to thoroughly discuss ideas/decor/timeline/etc. for the wedding. On the day of, after taking pictures in the morning/afternoon, I arrived to the venue and everything was already set up- tables, decor, etc. After that, Emily kept everyone in check, kept us on schedule, and helped with procession/recession. We had about a 200 person wedding in one location and everything went smoothly! She also made us a sweet little gift at the end of the night.

If you're debating whether you need a coordinator: you do. And if you can book Emily, even better.
