"The thing is, I'm not really sure I'll ever know all the things Elizabeth did that made our day perfect. Just a few of the ones I DO know about include: sewing a groomsman into a kilt that was 4-ish sizes too big for him (I didn't even notice), calling our transportation company and forcing them to honor a contract when it looked like they wouldn't, setting up ALL the decor at our reception (and it looked more amazing than I had even imagined), and keeping me calm and breathing easy and completely focused on enjoying the event. At first I didn't think I needed a day-of-coordinator, but I was so wrong. It meant the world for me to have her by my side that week when things got seriously crazy, and she never batted an eyelash as one complication mounted on top of another. She was professional, firm when she needed to be, and most importantly, she seriously knows what it means to have a great party. Hiring Elizabeth was, without a doubt, the single best decision we made in planning our wedding." -Lara

"Elizabeth provided Day-of Coordination for our wedding. I am an obsessive organizer and executor, so I was well-prepared to plan my own wedding. Too prepared even: I might be tempted to work on my own wedding day because I might not trust anyone with the logistical responsibilities! But I knew that once the wedding day arrived, I would want nothing to distract me from my groom, our loved ones, and many hours of revelry. Enter Elizabeth with her Day-of Coordination prowess. She eased the transition of responsibility by being readily available in the weeks leading up to the wedding, confidently taking items off my plate and earning my trust. On the wedding day itself, she adeptly carried out the directions we had discussed in advance, and she expertly made game-time decisions and changes in response to circumstances I had not foreseen in the planning process. Because of Elizabeth, I spent my wedding day blissfully unaware of every logistical detail over which I had so carefully labored, simply enjoying the celebration that was even more beautiful than I had imagined." -Melody

"Elizabeth was great to work with and did an incredible job for our wedding! She nailed down all the details that you would never quite manage to think of in advance otherwise - like when the cupcakes needed to arrive, and where to find poles for a huppah on short notice! She was friendly and professional, and kept the wedding running smoothly, from walking down the aisle to the limo ride out. When the groom's mother left the boutonnieres in her fridge, she helped the groomsmen find flowers that fit our color scheme with a minimum of fuss. Thanks to Elizabeth, our wedding was just as wonderful, comfortable, and beautiful as we had always imagined!" -Eliza

"Before I got engaged, hiring a wedding planner had not even occurred to me, but now that I have gone through the process with Elizabeth by my side, I cannot imagine doing it any other way. I was very impressed with her high level of professionalism - we worked with many vendors throughout the planning process, and not all of them were as professional as she. Elizabeth is very good at listening to what YOU want, and then finding a way to make it happen.  She acted as a neutral third party when my fiancé and I had different ideas about how we want something to happen.  With all her knowledge and experience, she could tell us why one idea might work better than the other, and we both felt very well heard by her.  When she could, she pleased everyone, and when she couldn't please everyone, she helped us to understand why we should make one decision over another.  Elizabeth is very good with the details and constantly brought up things I hadn't thought of.  On the day of the wedding, I was completely comfortable leaving everything in her hands and the day was absolutely perfect - everything was executed flawlessly!" -Alissa

"Elizabeth was an amazing addition to our wedding planning process. As business owner in the hectic world of online advertising, I thought that handling the details of a ‘simple’ wedding would be easy.  To my surprise I found that the reality was not so… enter Elizabeth.  First off her joy and enthusiasm were uplifting, making a happy time even better. She dialed into our tastes right away, offering up one great idea and suggestion after another.  Next, came the amazing flow of ideas both big and large.  Our wedding venue was hard [for guests] to find, so Elizabeth had the idea, and sourced, these wonderful 3 ft round helium balloons which we used to mark the entrance to the venue.  I don’t think there was a single idea that Elizabeth offered up, that we did not include in our day.  What was so nice for us, was that she had an eye on both the large scale items, as well as the little ones, right down to where I could stash my touch-up lip gloss the day of. Simply put, having Elizabeth involved took a wonderful event and made it spectacular." -Ingrid

"Elizabeth was indispensable in preparing for my wedding. Though we worked with a very limited budget, nothing got neglected because of Elizabeth's wealth of knowledge and resources in her field. She found solutions where someone else might have made compromises or omissions. Elizabeth was proactive and went out of her way to make my wishes a reality, even when I thought something was impossible. When I admired a headpiece that was out of my price range, I gave up on the idea. But Elizabeth found a similar piece online that was affordable and more consistent with my taste than the one I had originally admired. Elizabeth took the time to get to know me so that my wedding could be personal instead of generic. Her familiarity with venues, bakers and caterers saved me endless hours of blind searching. She kept me on track and made sure that all the preparations were made in a timely manner, so there was no last-minute panic, even though we only had four months to plan. On my wedding day, Elizabeth kept the event moving on schedule and if there were any catastrophes, I never found out about them. Thank you, Elizabeth!"  -Allyson

"Elizabeth did a masterful job of helping out on my daughter's wedding day. She shadowed us for the whole day, making sure that everything went on schedule, taking care of details, responding to emergencies and generally keeping everyone on an even keel. We were able to relax, enjoy, and savor every moment of the day knowing that Elizabeth was there to back us up all the way." -Deena

"We had lots of creative ideas for our wedding, but no married friends with experience in the matter to bounce things off of. Elizabeth turned out to be the perfect ally because of her combination of experience with not just wedding planning, but event coordination and interior design. She talked us through a lot of decisions and helped focus us on creating a perfect small, handmade, artsy affair." -Lacey and Brad

"I would trust Elizabeth to handle any event you can throw at her. She has a unique and valuable knowledge of Bay Area resources and an energy and excitement that both motivate and comfort. She is legitimately invigorated by the projects she takes on and meets all challenges head on. I feel better having Elizabeth involved in all my creative endeavors." -Claire
