I am so thankful that we hired Elana as our wedding planner! From start to finish, she was always professional and she truly cares about her clients. At times wedding planning can be stressful, but Elana was there to walk us through any obstacles that we faced. I would consider myself Type A and very detail oriented, with that being said, Elana made sure every detail that I asked for was executed flawlessly on wedding day. If you are considering Elana for you wedding, I HIGHLY recommend!
I originally found Elana online, scheduled a meeting with her, and instantly knew she was the one. I decided to hire her instead of using a family friend in the events industry and it was truly the best decision I made for the wedding. As an extremely busy business professional, and with my husband being a professional coach, planning a wedding simply didn’t fit into our schedules or lifestyle. Elana completely took that weight off our shoulders and made what felt impossible look effortless. She planned our entire wedding in less than a year an extravagant and elegant celebration with professional athletes, coaches, family, and friends in attendance and executed every detail flawlessly. She’s the definition of a true professional and a class act. If it wasn’t for her, our wedding wouldn’t have happened the way it did. Elana was patient, attentive, and left no detail overlooked. She went above and beyond in every way and made my dream wedding come to life. If you’re even considering hiring a wedding planner, don’t think twice just do it. Over the course of the year, Elana has become more than our planner she’s truly a friend for life.
I can say so many good things about Elana! She was absolutely everything I needed and more. My vision came to life exactly how I imagined it, all while staying within our budget. She was so patient, knowledgeable, personable, and so down to earth—just a joy to work with during this entire process. On my wedding day, I was able to truly relax and soak it all in—I didn’t have to lift a finger or deal with a single vendor because Elana and her team handled it all flawlessly. Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and I highly, HIGHLY recommend her to any future bride!
Elana Walker planned my sister’s wedding and now my own and she is a part of the family. Elana and her team did an AMAZING job executing our wedding event and supporting the planning leading up to the big day. She was able to work with all of our vendors, organize and communicate with them effectively. On the day of, as the bride, one of her assistants was always nearby helping with everything we needed and keeping us on schedule (So important!)! My family, husband and bridal party felt so taken care of and special. It was a dream come true! I cannot say enough good things about her. She’s so fun to work with and makes the process feel smooth and easy!
Elana Walker Events - I can not say enough things about this team or the woman herself, Elana. I knew from our very first phone call, she would be my girl. She cared about me and my husbands vision, she valued what we valued, she prioritized what we prioritized - she is hands down the best planner. With that being said, she isn’t just a planner - she is someone that will stand beside you through it all. She becomes a best friend and apart of your family. Whatever this woman charges, it’s not enough - she is PRICELESS. Whatever your budget is, whatever your vision is - Elana will do just about anything to make it happen. Me and Michael are so appreciative of Elana and her team. Ebony is an absolute queen and Trevilla is an absolute doll for keeping my nerves at bay on the day of. Every single bride deserves an Elana - and I do not say that lightly. It is the absolute truth - you need someone to go to bat for you, you need someone to stand in front of you through this process that has had years and years of experience in this industry. This is a God given gift and talent she has and it is so evident. Elana, we love you so incredibly much and can’t wait to see what you do in future. Love, The Broccos
