We spoke to a few wedding planners before deciding on Elsie Weddings & Events and it was the best decision we could have made. The best part about working with Lorraine is that it didn't feel transactional at all. I felt like we were old friends thanks to Lorraine's authenticity and how much she genuinely cares - she made me feel comfortable right away talking about anything wedding related or not. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was with checking up on us not just for planning related things but also just on how we were feeling as the day got closer.

We chose the month of planning services and it was exactly what we wanted - Lorraine took over all communications with all of our vendors in the most organized fashion and our vendors also noted to us how much they enjoyed working with her. She developed vendor timelines and separate schedules for our bridal and groomsmen parties that were so helpful. She was responsive, organized and her experience was invaluable - she thought of a lot of questions and details that we hadn't thought of but that were important to consider for our big day. She was always so patient and never made us feel like there was something we couldn't ask for her advice on.

On our actual wedding day, she was so on point. We had a big wedding at 200+ guests, lot of moving parts with multiple entertainment vendors, performers, photobooth, food caterers, favours, welcome and signing tables, table arrangements, etc. and she handled it all in stride so everything went off without a hitch. I felt like I didn't need to worry or think about a thing and really trusted her and she more than delivered.

We would recommend Elsie Weddings & Events to anyone! Team Rachel & Hugh forever 🩵

Lorraine, is absolutely the best. She came late to our planning in our process when our venue couldn’t come through as promised / planned and organized our chaos for us. Lorraine is organized, eager, helpful, thoughtful, and brings a lot of forward thinking from her previous weddings and made our big day smooth.

Lorraine completely took over the final touches and planning for the wedding, making the month before stress free and organized! She also planned and organized everything for the rehearsal. She was able to instruct the wedding party in a way that it made it very simple for everyone and easy to remember for the day of!

The day of the wedding, Lorraine handled everything and I did not need to worry about a thing! My different vendors after the wedding were very complimentary of her and how she worked leading up to the wedding and day of. They said she was very easy to reach and had everything running very smoothly and organized.

I would highly recommend Lorraine and anyone that needs an all-in one planner she’s talented, organized and extremely resourceful! Thank you Lorraine for such a amazing job and making everything stress free for us!
