We had our concerns about the limitations of a home wedding, which Soraya easily put to rest. Soraya was incredibly accommodating, a true expert, and such a delight to work with.

We have such fond memories interacting with different members of Soraya's team throughout the day. Our wedding went effortlessly and stress-free thanks to their incredible work.

My invitations were handmade including adding special ones for my bridal party. Working with Elegance by V made my wedding experience less stressful.

We had a ~85 person wedding in Boston which we planned from across the country (in LA) and we…read morewouldn't have been able to do it without Elena and her team. Elena handled all of the booking and management for almost all of our vendors. She kept us on task with everything we needed to do even though my wife & I often missed deadlines. There was an online planner that we collaborated on so we always knew what needed to be done and understood all the moving pieces. Her team handled all of the design and production of everything which made both the event and planning much more carefree. Elena is very knowledgeable with all the different vendors we could work with in every area and was happy to also help us find others when there was something specific we were looking for. On the day of, her was very helpful as things came up to help us adjust the schedule and coordinate with everyone involved. The guests loved all the unique elements that Elena's team help us coordinate and set up like the specialty coffee cart, postcards + mailbox as a guestbook, ramen station for late night food, etc Looking back, we truly got to be present and enjoy our day because Elena and her team had everything under control. Our wedding day ended up even better than we imagined and is undoubtedly one of the best days of our life. If you're planning a wedding, hire Elena - you'll actually get to enjoy your big day!

Fall 2023 Boston wedding around 250 people. Booked for 1 year, ~10k. To be fair it was a hard…read morewedding - cultural nuances with the both of us being out of state and having demanding jobs. Positives: -fair price for full year, set up vendor meetings, good Save the Date designs, good bridal party makeup/hair, wedding painter, and florist suggestions, good communication with maid of honor and best man day of. Problems: - no organization/foresight. She procrastinated booking vendors. Her reasons: unresponsive vendors due to busy wedding season. When my husband or I contacted vendors, we got quick responses. My husband and I booked most vendors. - Aside from Catherine who left, never met other coordinators prior to wedding day. - No running budget of who we owed money to & amount. Did this ourselves. - Frequent loss of info. Most notably, she forgot we had party buses. Then tried to tell us we told her we didn't want party buses. - Save the dates and invitations were sent ~5 months later than deadline. We have guests from out of state and country needing advance notice to make arrangements. So we ordered/mailed save the dates and designed wedding invites ourselves. We got no communication about designs for wedding invites so did it ourselves in contrast to what she claims. - No communication for months. When we asked for weekly meetings, she lied saying it was not included in our package. Pamphlet we were given prior to booking clearly states unlimited meetings for full service. - Elena was unprepared and ~25 min late to the rehearsal. There was traffic and others were late too. Rehearsal was longer than necessary because we repeatedly corrected her. She then blamed me for sending her a "different timeline" even though this was a common shared timeline she made herself. We were ~45 min late for our rehearsal dinner. - On the bus on the way to the ceremony, in front of the entire bridal party Elena asked me about our balance not being paid for the limo. - Elena did not attend the ceremony and we were not aware prior. She stayed at the reception hotel. Our venues were booked one year in advance so all parties were aware of the locations of our ceremony and reception. The coordinators at the ceremony should have attended the rehearsal because they were clueless. Coordinator wasn't aware that she was supposed to cue us from the bus to the church until a bridesmaid told her. She then lined up the wedding party out of order which they fixed themselves. - My cousin was the one who came to church early to turn on lights and heating. - Coordinators gave no instructions to the choir. My husband and his parents walked down the aisle in silence after being told to start by the coordinator. Josh wanted a song to be playing. Later, Elena blamed my husband for going ahead "too early" and said "it happens" when he complained. - After our ceremony ended, there was no signal to walk out. Yes we practiced our entrances/exits but that was more for the order of walking in. There was no music or choir during our rehearsal and even though Elena had the list of songs we were playing for our entrances and exits, you still need to coordinate with the choir. So yes, you DO need a cue in order for the wedding party to exit, as we've seen at other weddings. My priest asked where the coordinators were. Nowhere. After an awkward silence, the choir randomly played music so we could walk out. - Biggest mistake: At the rehearsal, my husband and I emphasized that it was important that wedding party exits church then immediately returns through side doors for pics in the church. When everyone exited the church, the coordinators lied saying that the plan changed with bride approval (how the hell do I give approval while I am in the ceremony?). So all were directed outside without proper instruction. Most left. The coordinators mentioned that there was no time for photos, but we ended up being fine with our schedule. - the coordinators were inside gossiping instead of taking care of the chaos they caused. My bridesmaids + partners coordinated with bus drivers to get everyone off the buses and line people up on the stairs for bubbles. - we were rushed by the coordinators for our post church park photos again because of "time." I didn't pay ~15k to our photo/video just to skip this. - When lining up for the reception, Elena made no effort to find my missing parents. - Elena lined the wedding party up by our church order for the reception entrances. Bridal party and DJ corrected her. Overall the day went fine thanks to our families and friends. I was stressed the whole year. Every time we brought up an issue, it was made to seem like it was our fault or it's normal.

This is the worst woman I have ever met in my life. She robbed me of my deposit despite the fact…read moreshe didn't do anything besides google things. I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Oh wow, where do I begin? VERONICA YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!! It's been exactly 1 month since our…read morewedding day at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, so this is long overdue! Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!

I was referred to Kyle through a former co-worker who is also in the event planning world. I was originally looking for help navigating some minor things with my baby shower. After my Mom and Mother in Law heard about Kyle's work (and saw some pics), they hired her to take on the full event. Kyle brought our combined vision to life, my "baby shower at a brewery but make it spacious, accommodating, and cute - oh and I want a balloon arch" idea turned into this beautiful event in the pictures. Kyle worked hand in hand with my Mom on everything. Considering none of my family is local, this was such a huge help to have someone who knew exactly which vendors to use. The cupcakes! The cookies! And oh my god the food! That was all Kyle. Every idea I had she ran with. And concern I had, she handled. Oh and on the day of the party, she coordinated everything, also stepped in to make sure I had great pictures and was our impromptu paparazzi. Thanks to Kyle, we had the baby shower that people are still talking about. Can't wait to have another event where we can have Kyle work her magic.

Not only did Kyle set us up, but she also cleaned as we went, leaving barely a trace by night's end. I highly suggest you book Kyle and have some of this fun for yourself!
