Elizabeth was amazing to work with! From the start, she took time to understand our vision and created a design book that matched it for vendors. Elizabeth made every step of the planning process feel manageable and sent spaced out emails with tasks that needed to be done, so it didn’t feel overwhelming. She was extremely gracious and understanding when we had to call off the wedding one month before and helped us communicate the situation to our vendors. I am confident that the wedding would have gone smoothly with her coordinating and will definitely be recommending her to others!

After reading positive reviews of EKS Weddings and Events, we scheduled a meeting with owner and lead planner Elizabeth Klespies to talk about our 50th anniversary celebration. Within the first 15 minutes, we knew our event would be in talented, capable hands. She came armed with her color-coded planner and a zipper pouch of pens and pencils. Her attention was riveted on our every response to her probing questions regarding what we wanted our event to be. Clearly she was extremely organized and obviously she cared. We couldn’t sign the contract fast enough, so no one else could book her for our date. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

We cannot say enough about the magic Elizabeth performed to make our celebration, in the words of many of our guests, “the best event I’ve ever attended.” Her monthly reminder lists were invaluable in keeping us on track. She was absolutely unflappable and completely calm, even when we made major changes, like the time of the event and the venue. She just congenially accommodated our requests and “fixed” everything we had disrupted. She truly wanted this to be our dream event.

Some of the best elements of the celebration would not have been possible without Elizabeth’s guidance and assistance. She has such an extensive knowledge of talent in the Atlanta area that when we asked at a fairly late date to have a caricaturist and a living statue, she simply made it happen. She was also an effective advocate for us in persuading the venue to ease some of their policies to permit one of our special requests.

On the day of our main event, Elizabeth and her assistant Kat absolutely transformed the blank slate of the ballroom into an exquisite event space in what seemed a very short time. Then we were able to see how all the choices and decisions she helped us make over the previous months came together with her talent to create exactly the look we had wanted. The entire evening went off flawlessly thanks to Elizabeth’s talent and skills.

At the end of the event, while we were saying goodbye to our guests, Elizabeth and Kat distributed centerpieces to our delighted guests, rounded up all the items that were rented, and packed up our personal items. By the time we thought to inquire about our things, they had been safely stored in our hotel room.

If you would like to hire a planner who will help you bring your vision to life and give you peace of mind to enjoy your special day while she takes care of the details, you cannot make a better choice than Elizabeth Klespies and EKS.

Elizabeth was truly amazing to work with and went above and beyond as our wedding planner! We went with her full-service package and it was worth every penny. She made the whole planning experience feel so much less overwhelming. After an initial in-depth planning session, we received monthly emails guiding us through all of the decisions we needed to make / tasks that needed to be completed up until the wedding. We also had a very detailed meeting closer to our wedding day to craft the day-of timeline and ensure we were able to fit in everything we wanted. Elizabeth made the vendor selection process incredibly easy. This was what I dreaded most because I am terrible at making decisions! Elizabeth always presented us with a manageable selection of excellent options within our budget making that process MUCH easier. If we wanted to see more of a particular vendor, she would present us with a few more options! She also assisted us in arranging our rehearsal dinner which I know can be an extra fee for some other planners! Elizabeth expertly managed our schedule the day of and ensured that our wedding ran smoothly. The day of our wedding there was a massive water main failure that affected our venue and the surrounding area. Elizabeth was on top of everything and masterfully coordinated with our vendors to ensure that our reception went off without a hitch. The problems were solved before we even knew anything was wrong! Elizabeth was the best investment we made for our wedding.

TL;DR - If you value your sanity during your wedding planning process, hire Elizabeth. You will not be disappointed!
