“Ellie was an absolute dream to work with! Without her, our wedding wouldn’t have gone as smoothly or as perfect as it did that day! She was in constant communication with me, the vendors, the hotel, Ellie was on top of it all! From my vision, to putting my mind at ease, down to every single detail she was there for me. Thank you so much, Ellie! ❤️”

“Ellie was the best wedding planner & we couldn’t reccomend her enough! At first, we were on the fence about needing a wedding planner but booking her was the best decision we made. She was so detail oriented & brought up different options and details we would’ve never thought about! Ellie was such a joy to work with both professionally and personally and she truly made our wedding day unforgettable! We miss her already!!”

“What would my wedding day have looked like without Ellie?! (I’m not sure I want to know LOL).

Hiring Ellie was one of my best decisions I made during the wedding planning process. She is professional, personable, organized, and an overall fun person to be in regular contact with during your engagement season! I was a very decisive bride who had an exact vision for what I wanted, but the execution aspect was daunting and overwhelming to say the least. That’s where Ellie came in! She made it all happen, and ensured we were on top of it all every step of the way. If you’re on the fence, just do it - it’s an investment that is so worth it in the end. The result will be a beautiful wedding that exceeds your expectations and runs smoothly. Ellie will run the show and orchestrate behind the scenes so you can relax and enjoy your big day with your new spouse, family, and friends. Thank you for everything!”

“Ellie is the BEST! She made the process so easy, seamless and ensured we had all the information to make the best decision possible. She has an incredible eye to put your design vision together. She is extremely professional and puts together a formal presentation with a mood board and details around the wedding (that one normally wouldn’t even think about). She took so much off our plate I’m sure we didn’t even realize on the wedding day as well. Everything ran so smoothly on the day of our wedding (almost every detail to the exact timeline which is amazing). We owe her the biggest thank you for making our day so perfect and giving us all the right advice.

On top of it all, she’s one of the kindest people you will meet.”

“Ellie was wonderful. Her attention to detail, vendor suggestions, decor recommendations were all great but her day of the wedding work WAS AMAZING! My daughter and I had total confidence in Ellie’s ability and it allowed us to completely enjoy the day! It was a wonderful. She comes with my highest recommendations.”

“Prepare to have your wedding dreams come true with Ellie. Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming task, but thanks to Ellie, our journey was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we had our first consultation call with her, we had a great feeling that she would make our wedding dreams a reality. We opted for the full wedding planning service, and it was the best decision we could have made.

From choosing the perfect venue to selecting vendors who aligned with our vision, Ellie guided us every step of the way. She presented us with multiple options for each vendor, and helped us make informed decisions.

One of the most significant aspects of working with Ellie was her ability to make the planning process easy and as enjoyable as possible. Event planning has never been my forte, but Ellie’s organization and professionalism made wedding planning a truly memorable and exciting journey. She not only listened attentively to our desires but also offered her expert advice, resulting in a wedding that exceeded all our expectations.

Ellie’s patience and kindness were unwavering throughout the entire process. I must admit, I sent her many emails, loaded with questions. But she always took the time to answer every single question promptly and with genuine care.

On the day of our wedding, Ellie was an absolute superstar. She orchestrated every detail flawlessly, ensuring that everything ran like clockwork. My husband and I were able to immerse ourselves fully in the magic of the day, and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for Ellie. Hiring her was, without a doubt, the single greatest decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. Her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support made our wedding the incredible event that it was. If you’re seeking a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your dreams come true, Ellie is the one.

Thank you, Ellie, for making our wedding day an unforgettable and magical experience!”

“We cannot thank Elle enough for how she planned our wedding for us! We are both busy people with chaotic schedules and she made all our decisions so simple and brought our ideas to life. She seamlessly coordinated all of our vendors’ scheduling and setting up everything throughout our wedding day. She created a magical day, and was so incredibly responsive the whole way through. Highly recommend her to plan your wedding!”

“Ellie and her team went above and beyond for my now husband and I from the very beginning. She made sure every single question had an answer and every single detail was discussed until perfection. She helped me find multiple vendors and be the point of contact for all of them. She made everything seem so seamless and I completely trusted in her. Ellie brought our vision to life and the day could not have been more perfect! To the future couples getting married, you will not be disappointed in using Gatherings By Elle. ”

“Ellie is every couple’s DREAM wedding planner!! From the first moment we got on the phone, she was so helpful and incredibly generous with sharing her energy, knowledge, and expertise. We were a little bit nervous to hire a planner because our family is super ethnic, but Ellie was incredibly understanding and respectful of all of our traditions, helping us create a Jewish-Slavic-American fusion wedding that people are still talking about non-stop! Ellie is very responsible, efficient, flexible, and superb at managing a wedding budget, taking away all the stress and worry for the couple. She has great style and knows how to bring your vision to life, even if you’re not 100% clear on it yet. Ellie just “gets it” and I can’t recommend her enough as your wedding planner!!”

“Ellie was the best decision my husband and I made when planning our wedding! We were originally on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, but I am 100% beyond happy we did! We worked with Ellie for over a year and it was the smoothest wedding experience I could have asked for. ALL of her vendor recommendations were amazing!! Ellie was so kind, professional, communicative, and always at the top of her game. Ellie was on top of all the details, phone calls, forms, and emails with all the vendors and it made the wedding planning process so smooth and stress free! She was so helpful with decisions and guiding my husband and I through the process. We relied on her expertise a lot, and we are so glad that we did! The day of the wedding it unexpectedly rained, but that didn’t even phase Ellie!! She moved everything around and had a back up plan, which still made us feel like we had a perfect wedding day. My husband and I didn’t feel stressed at all about the last minute rain changes because Ellie was six steps ahead working with every vendor to make it work!! She knew exactly what would look good for the vibe we were going for and how to make sure guests had an enjoyable experience. And guests did have an amazing time!! So many guests told us how smooth the night went and how they could tell our wedding planner was fantastic!! Being able to be stress free about the wedding planning process is a blessing, and Ellie gave us that. Hiring Ellie is a must and a necessity. Ellie really is that amazing!”

“I cannot thank Ellie enough for all her hard work for my wedding. I was able to be stress-free and enjoy every part of my special day, which is so rare for brides. Ellie had amazing communication and organization and really went above and beyond for us. At the beginning of my planning, I wasn’t sure if I needed a wedding planner, but now I couldn’t imagine not having her support and expertise. Do yourselves a favor and hire Ellie, she will make things so much easier and more enjoyable for you!”

“Ellie is a true master at her work. We worked with Ellie to plan our wedding over the last 15 months and each step of the way she was honest, organized, and demonstrated true expertise in the field. Ellie was a complete pleasure to work with and our wedding day was a dream and exactly how I’d always imagined (if not better). Several guests remarked at Ellie’s professional and ease throughout the day and noted that our wedding was perfect from start to finish. I cannot recommend Ellie enough and urge you to consider her for your next event!”

“Ellie is absolutely amazing! She took our vision and made it into an absolute dream! She is so easy to work with and so communicative. She literally did everything for us and made sure our day was perfect!! We cannot thank Ellie enough for making our day so incredibly special!”

“Ellie is amazing!! I could not have planned/ had my wedding without her. She was on top of everything and every appointment. She is professional, prompt and genuine. You definitely need Ellie to plan/ coordinate your wedding. Thank you so much!”

“Hiring Ellie was the best investment we could have made not only for our wedding day but our sanity everyday leading up to it... our peace of mind. We never worried about if something would get done or if we missed anything because she did not let one single thing fall through the cracks. I stopped setting alarms/reminders because she was so on top of it. Throughout the process she presented us with options and we picked the ones we liked and if we asked for her opinion she gently lead us in a direction we loved. She kept us on budget and we always knew where we were at financially. She responds in a timely manner, is on time, VERY organized and ALWAYS a few steps ahead. Ellie is just an overall kind and sweet person who genuinely cares about your big day as much as you do, you feel like she’s a best friend you’ve known your whole life. My husband tells everyone... the best investment we made was in Ellie.”

“My husband and I wanted to do a destination wedding in Arizona, and without Ellie it would not have been possible. Every bit of the wedding planning process was stress-free and organized because of her. She took care of everything and had suggestions ready for all vendors. She was great at communication with both me and my husband, and made sure that we were both aware of upcoming deadlines/where we were at on our to-do list. I was in absolute awe when I saw the ceremony/reception set up on the day of the wedding. Not only was she a great planner and kept everything on track leading up to the wedding, but she was so pleasant the day of the wedding and coordinated everyone and everything so wonderfully. Needless to say, our day was absolutely perfect, and I owe it all to her. She truly made my vison come to life. Our family and wedding party had nothing but great things to say about her, as well. My mom even made the comment “I don’t think you could have ever found a wedding planner better than Ellie.” :’) And I 100% agree!!! Book her, you won’t regret it!”

“If you are contemplating hiring a wedding planner, look no further! My husband and I were initially on the fence about whether we needed a planner for our 100+ person wedding, but all we can say now is the Ellie was worth every cent! Ellie made the entire wedding planning process so seamless that there was very little for us to stress about. She found us the most amazing vendors and coordinated everything so that there was essentially no work for us to do! She has a great sense for design and decor - we received SO many complements about how beautiful and tasteful the details were at our event. Ellie was with us every step of the way - she made herself available to answer every question (no matter how silly) and take care of even the smallest details. Although we were planning the wedding remotely, we had total confidence knowing that Ellie was so on top of everything. The week of the event, she nipped any potential mishaps in the bud and ensured that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Long story short - we couldn’t have pulled this wedding off (and maintained our sanity) without Ellie’s help. She’s a delightful person and she runs an incredible business. Hire her and you won’t regret it!”

“Ellie was the absolute best! She was on top of every detail and had answers to all of my questions the entire year and a half she was my planner. She had the planning under control and kept my timeline moving forward while I was graduating from law school and studying for the bar. I did not have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day because I knew I was in the best hands. Ellie portrays professionalism and feels like a close friend at the same time. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.”

“Ellie was the MOST amazing planner we ever could have asked for! She was incredibly organized throughout the entire yearlong planning process, so on top of everything, did an amazing job of balancing our personalities & wishes while keeping us on time and on budget. She has all the amazing connections and knew the best way to handle every single communication and negotiation. The execution on the day of the wedding by Ellie & her team was flawless, made for the most perfect day.

Ellie & her husband went the extra mile every step of the way to make this day the greatest day of our lives (including giving us a ride back to the Airbnb at the end of the wedding night 30mins in the opposite direction!) and we truly consider them to be friends of ours.

Have already recommended them to ALL of our friends and would recommend Gatherings by Elle to anyone! :)”

“Working with Ellie was one of the best wedding decisions we made! From the second she started, she was on top of everything. She communicated with us throughout the whole process and shared great ideas and suggestions. When it came time to our wedding day, she made everything so seamless and easy. Ellie is truly a wonderful person and so much fun to work with. I will forever recommend Ellie and her team to anyone I know getting married or hosting an event. Ellie is fantastic at what she does and it truly shows in her work.”

“We had Ellie for the month leading up to our wedding and she was wonderful! She was organized, communicative, prepared, and reliable. She made us feel super comfortable leading up to the big day! On the wedding day, she took care of everything: coordinated with our vendors, made sure all the small details were taken care of and looked good, and handled a few last minute situations that popped up perfectly, all while being a joy to work with. We would absolutely recommend working with Ellie!”

“Ellie was everything we needed for our AZ destination wedding. She helped us with our vision and connected us with all the right vendors. She absolutely crushed everything to make our day perfect.”

“BEST WEDDING PLANNER EVER! Hiring Ellie was the best decision I ever made!! Once I got engaged I knew I had to get a full time wedding planner due to myself being in graduate school full time and my now husband also working full time. We got to work with Ellie for a whole year and man did we get our monies worth! Ellie was on top of everything every step of the way, handled legal issues and made sure that every contract we had to sign was reviewed by her. If we ever had any questions she was always available via text, email or through phone calls. She provided us with so much helpful information, feedback and advice and not to mention had spreadsheets with our budget, to do list and things to get that were so helpful to refer to at anytime. On the day of the wedding she was on top of it!! From the beginning to the end, she will make sure everything is in place and that you get to enjoy your day stress free. We are so sad that we don’t get to work with her anymore…but we are happy we had her throughout this experience. I highly recommend her, she’s amazing! (:”

“Hands down, BEST DECISION EVER was working with Ellie for our wedding!! Multiple wedding guests asked if Ellie and I were childhood friends because she was so caring, attentive and kind to everyone throughout the entire event! Our whole family loved her!! Ellie and I worked together for 14 months planning our wedding, and she was always incredibly organized and detail-oriented, brought us incredible vendors and was prepared for just about anything. Our wedding weekend she handled alllll last minute uncontrollable hiccups no sweat, and I just got to enjoy my wedding that ended up being just so beyond what I could have ever done myself. I’m sad our time together is over! But happy and grateful we had Ellie throughout the entire process. This girl is so gifted at what she does!!!”

“Ellie was amazing! My husband and I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into planning a wedding, and she walked us through every step of the way. She helped us create a vision, and bring it all to life. We planned a wedding and a separate reception a week later and both went on flawlessly. I can’t thank Ellie enough for such a wonderful wedding. If you’re in the market for searching for the perfect wedding planner, look no further Ellie is that and more!!”

“We hired Ellie for month of coordination, and I am so thankful we did! After planning for almost a year towards the end it gets exhausting. Ellie took over seamlessly allowing my husband and I to enjoy the last month leading up to the wedding. Unfortunately, our wedding day was WAY hotter (104 degrees) than any of us expected - which meant there were a lot of game time decisions needing to be made. Ellie presented them to me in a way that allowed me to quickly action and decide what was best for the day without even thinking much about it. I would hire Ellie again in a heart beat and recommend her to any and every bride; she’s amazing at what she does!”

“Ellie was the absolute best!! We had to delay due to Covid, change venues and vendors and with her planning everything came out perfectly! We even forgot to pick up the napkins and she fixed it easily the day of the wedding. There was no stress during planning or our wedding day. 100/10 recommend hiring her! ❤️”

“Hiring Ellie was the best decision we made!! As a pandemic bride, we had to push back our wedding by a whole year - Ellie made it so easy for us during this time and made moving our whole wedding a seamless process. She is super responsive and so dang kind!! Our day went SO INCREDIBLY smooth and my husband and I got to really enjoy it, and I credit that all to Ellie. When the only thing that goes wrong is your bustle ripping from a very enthusiastic dance, you know it’s been a good day. Our wedding was everything that we wanted and needed, and I can’t thank Ellie enough for her hard work in making our day perfect!”

“TLDR; wonderful small business that works hard to meet your needs and is organized, thorough, flexible, and a great value. Ellie was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding as she was exceptionally organized and thorough! My wife and I work in the medical field and have somewhat rigid schedules, and she was very accommodating. When we started the process of planning the wedding, we really didn’t know where to begin, and Ellie’s expert advice clarified the process. She used a wedding checklist and template that she continuously updated throughout the planning process and that she adjusted to meet our specific needs and helped us to understand what to expect. She also helped us with recommendations for a very diverse array of photographers, caterers, reception locations, flower companies, DJ’s, cake, etc. In showing us this array, she told us how her previous clients selected those services and gave us a good idea of what to expect from them. When my wife found additional vendors, Ellie was quick to bring them into the fold. She also took a lot of stress off my wife and I and helped keep us updated with any local COVID-wedding venue related news. She helped us to find other options on our wedding day, had there been a COVID flare, that were more accommodating. In the planning process, Ellie really eased our concerns and guided us through the process of planning so that we felt great going into our wedding weekend. During the wedding weekend, Ellie was a life saver and exceptionally hard worker! She was a great help at the rehearsal—she pretty much ran the whole thing— and made sure that each one of our groomsmen and bridesmaids knew what to do the next day. On the day of the wedding, Ellie and her Assistant were absolutely fantastic! They made sure that everything ran smoothly. From the ceremony to the reception to the dance party, Ellie worked seamlessly with our vendors, and smoothed out numerous details behind the scenes that otherwise would have been huge stressors. Ellie worked very hard so that our guests had a wonderful time, and my wife and I could have the enjoyable and romantic wedding day that we had always dreamed of. Ellie was organized and thorough, but also flexible and willing to cater her planning structure to align well with our needs. Her service was excellent, and my wife and I felt that hiring her company was well worth what we paid for a full-service planner, as well as—without a doubt—a 5-star-review.”

“So I know everyone says this but I am the person who never writes reviews but often reads them. HOWEVER, I can and absolutely must write the most positive review of Ellie and her team. Going into it, my mom really pushed me to get a planner… my husband (fiance at the time) and I did not think it was 100% necessary and man were we wrong. Ellie’s demeanor from the beginning was positive, understanding, and just overall light. She thought of the things that never even crossed our minds and respected who we are as people. She worked within our budget and to be honest saved us a ton. She also connected us with great vendors. Then on the day of, I mean everything was handled… My husband and I didn’t worry, stress, or be bothered at all with a single thing. Even my dad and other family members and guests noticed and let us know how fantastic she is! Basically get yourself a wedding planner and IF you are lucky, you’ll be able to hire Ellie! She is an absolute gem :)”

“Ellie was such a great decision for our wedding! She really took the stress and pressure off of the planning process. She kept us on track with our wedding planning timeline and wedding events. I felt safer knowing that I had a diligent professional overseeing the entire process. Ellie was super helpful and gave really great tips and tricks for a successful wedding. She was really great at staying organized and keeping track of the budget for us. Ellie was there for us every single step of the way, and coordinated a perfect day for my husband and I. As a night shift nurse, my scheduling is all over the place, so Ellie was a massive help in planning my bridal shower, bachelorette party, and rehearsal dinner. The intricate timeline she made for us was planned out to the minute, and definitely made for a reception that went off without a hitch. She is well worth hiring for your big day!”

“Ellie was easily the best investment we made for the wedding. The day ran so smoothly and I didn’t realize how much we actually needed a month-of-coordinator until she came along. She perfectly executed EVERYTHING and there wasn’t one detail that was overlooked. I had the most beautiful, stress-free day all because of her. She’s absolute perfection and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and her team.”

“Where do I even start??? We hired Ellie at end of 2019 for our would-be 2020 wedding for a partial planning package. Ellie handled all the covid changes and postponements like a pro, walking us thru everything, and then in 2021 we finally started planning again and honestly I don’t know how anyone plans any wedding without a planner. Ellie is out here at the site visit asking questions of the venue manager about AV capabilities and other things that wouldn’t even cross my mind. Also we hired her for partial planning but I honestly felt like she did the job of a full time planner, like she did SO MUCH, I’m so grateful. Not only is Ellie all over logistics, she has great taste bc I kinda just showed her some photos and she conceived of the entire decor plan and handled all convos with the florist, which is great bc I’m not good at aesthetics! On the day, she ran our wedding perfectly and when random last minute unforeseen issues with the venue came up, she just knocked them out calmly and quickly like it was nothing. Our guests kept telling us how they’ve never been to a wedding that actually ran to schedule, and that’s all bc Ellie is a boss. Amazing job Ellie and Her team!”

“I hired Elle for a year coordinator and she is WORTH it and beyond. My wedding was smooth and most importantly enjoyable. I have seen many brides stress over little things and be panicked on their special day but I was stress free the entire time thanks to this AMAZING wedding planner. We kept in constant contact for a year and she provides to do list that were well organized and user friendly. She works with your budget and she advocates on your behalf with venders. My actual wedding day ran so smooth and I honestly believe thanks to her it was the happiest day of my life. I 100% recommend!”

“Ellie did such and amazing job! She helped us through two covid postponements, organized everything, and truly kept me calm through the whole process. Our wedding turned out so beautiful and ran so smoothly and I know it was all thanks to Ellie, I couldn’t have done it without her :)”

“Ellie was a godsend with our wedding. We booked her as our wedding planner in 2019, and, after the events of 2020, needed to move to a new date in 2021. Not only was Ellie extremely organized, responsive, and helpful in all aspects of our wedding planning, but she helped us seamlessly move our wedding to a new date (with many vendors already booked). Ellie will really help your vision come to life!!! Don’t wait on booking her to help with your big day :)”

“If you’re going to get married in a pandemic, then hire Gatherings by Elle to plan it. If you’re not going to get married in a pandemic... then still hire Gatherings by Elle! Seriously, Ellie was fantastic. She took care of our every need in the 18 months leading up to our big day. We were impressed with the way she handled all of our COVID-related hurdles, and couldn’t have been happier with her designs and the seamless way things went together on our special day. 1000% recommended!”

“I booked Ellie for our day of coordinator. Her day of coordinator package includes communication about 2 weeks out to tie up lose ends, go over timeline/ floorplan, and hand over vendor info, etc... Ellie was so wonderful to work with and was a total life saver those last few weeks before the wedding when everything gets a little crazy. I could not imagine not having a day of coordinator for my wedding if I had to do it all over again. It took the pressure off knowing she was communicating with all my vendors and making sure everything was prepped for the big day. On the day of the wedding everything ran so incredibly smoothly! Everything was on time down to the exact minute. I know everyone says something will inevitably go wrong on your wedding day- but honestly everything was PERFECT! Everything ran on time and was set up correctly! I would 100000% recommend Ellie to any future couples getting married.”

“Hiring Ellie as our month of coordinator was the best decision we made. Pre wedding, LA County was getting ready to release new COVID guidelines which would cause a last minute change. Ellie didn’t hesitate to step in and reach out to my venue to find out what we needed to do on our end to prepare for the new rules. Ellie’s confidence, professionalism and composure kept me calm during the one of most chaotic times of the wedding planning process. Ellie was beyond fast to respond to any text, email or phone call I sent her. The day of our wedding went flawlessly thanks to Ellie executing the most precise timeline. I’m sure there are other wedding planners able to execute everything I just talked about but they aren’t Ellie! And trust me you want Ellie! Besides wanting a great wedding planner, I wanted to be sure our personalities clicked and we were able to work well with each other. I want to say without a doubt Ellie is such a fantastic person and you can definitely tell she truly loves what she does.”

“We booked Ellie for month-of services and it was the best choice we could have made for our wedding! She thought of a ton of things we hadn’t considered and made sure we were ready to go by the time the big day came around. On our actual wedding day, she kept everything running super smoothly, and made our setup and tear down super easy. Everything looked even better than we’d imagined, and by the time we were off the dance floor, everything was packed up and ready to go! She’s organized, communicative, smart, and so incredibly nice and easy to work with - we could not possibly be happier to have worked with her.”

“No really, Ellie saved us! We were one of those couples that thought we had already come this far, let’s just finish the wedding planning on our own. Our venue highly recommended a Day of Coordinator and after chatting with Ellie we decided to hire her for 6 weeks out. The second we hired her she was so on top of things. Replied right away to emails, if she was cc’d on something she immediately took care of it. One thing I absolutely loved about working with her was how HONEST she was. She would research multiple places before giving us the best quote, she would talk out the pros and cons of doing certain things instead of just giving us a straight answer. She was even the bad guy on behalf of us when dealing with another vendor! We were dealing with the possibility of rain all week leading up to our wedding and she came up with solutions ON THE SPOT for everything: Plan A, Plan B, Plan C: all executed and worked out within the week. We felt so at ease having her on our team and our bridal party raved about her. We were also the last wedding before the Coronavirus lockdown laws went into effect the following day; which meant way more last-minute changes in the last week (including day of!) that were not according to plan and she rolled with everything. She didn’t highlight any of these issues and instead made us feel so special for our Wedding Day. Despite all of the hurdles, it was the best day of our lives and we owe so much of it to Ellie.
If you are thinking of booking her and are tight on money, trust me she is worth it- she will help you cut costs elsewhere! Do not hesitate to book also, I had 3 friends who are getting married ask me for her info and I anticipate she will be hard to book soon!
Thank you again, Ellie”

“Elle! Just so many amazing things to say about her! We hired Elle for month of planning and it was the best decision ever. Elle points out every detail and makes sure all the things are in order. Our wedding day went off so smoothly- we’re just extremely thankful for her. Our communication was always there and I appreciated her input/alternative solutions in my planning process. All of my vendors loved working with her and the most common words they used to described her were, “sweet” and, “on it.” I couldn’t agree more! Thank you, Elle!”

“There are no right words to explain how perfect our wedding day was because of Ellie’s magical touch. I accidentally found her on Instagram, but I was still hesitant to get in touch with her in the beginning but I am so glad I did. She is very straightforward- gave me direct answers to questions and I was already impressed by that. Come 1 month before the wedding, here goes Ellie- very organized, very detailed. She will never confuse you with emails and responses nor let you feel you the pressure of answering her back right away. And when you meet her, you will know right away that she’s very genuine and really loves what she does.

Ellie is very assuring. You know that feeling when there’s a special occasion when you need your best friend and when she’s there, you feel at ease, you can finally calm your head down and say ‘everything’s going to be alright’?That’s how I felt (Let me tell you, I am not the one who trusts easily) on my wedding day.

Our wedding day was everything I ever imagined. Ellie and her team did such an amazing job on that day and I will never forget that.

Thank you Ellie for making our day extra extra special!

To the one reading this, I don’t know how many reviews you need to convince yourself to get a coordinator- I am telling you now you will not regret it, that’s it- GBE is the one.”

“Ellie was seriously the BEST EVER! I came to her 2 months before our wedding letting her know that we had to switch locations, vendors, etc. and she was more than helpful and accommodating with everything!! It was such a relief to have her there and made the process so smooth. I would highly recommend Ellie for all your coordinating needs. She is the best!!”

“Okay, so let me tell you all about Ellie & her services. I’ll start off by saying she LITERALLY was THE BEST decision during this whole process. Seriously, if I could do it all over again, I would pick Ellie every single time. There is not one thing that wasn’t taken care of on time. She was always 10 steps ahead. When I say my wedding was an absolute dream, I truly mean it. And that was because of her. I can’t think of a single thing that went wrong. & I always told myself “something will go wrong & it will be okay” NOTHING went wrong or slipped through the cracks with Ellie. My day was smooth & flawless. All the things I didn’t even think of, she had already handled with grace. Every single chance I get I recommend her to whoever will listen haha. She was always there when I needed suggestions, had concerns or ideas. She always got things done quickly & professionally. She stayed on track with our budget. Literally any big or little thing that concerned me, she took care of it right away. If I didn’t have her, I truly don’t know how anything would have went. I got engaged in April 2018, hired Ellie in October 2018 & got married in June 2019. So we had the pleasure of working with her for 8 months! I HIGHLY recommend her full or partial service! Saves so much time, money & stress & really made this whole process enjoyable for me! To me, what we paid Ellie was such a small price for everything she did for us. I truly think of her as my wedding savior. Hands down Gatherings by Elle is THE BEST in the business!! You will never regret hiring her!”

“I feel like this review was long past due—sorry Elle! Elle helped to coordinate our wedding a year ago, and I cannot stop raving about how she pulled off the impossible. I’m not the most detail oriented bride so I was expecting a few bumps in the road for our reception. But nothing really prepared us for rain, our rental companies’ failure to build the tables for our reception, and the crazy difficulties with pulling off a “bring ALL your own vendors” kind of wedding. Through each of these difficulties, Elle was quick to come up with solutions and execute her plans with military precision and utmost grace, even with limited resources and time. I was able to really enjoy our wedding day without stress because I could see that she really had everything under control. If you are on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator—like how I was—don’t be. Jump on the other side of the fence and hire Elle. She was the best vendor we hired for our wedding day.”

“Elle was absolutely amazing!
We honestly couldn’t have accomplished such a flawless wedding without her help. Elle was professional, friendly, and fun. She was already 10-steps ahead of every task, so we never needed anything. I would definitely recommend her services, and would work with her again if we could!”

“Ellie is amazing! We decided to go with her month of package and it was honestly the best decision we could have made. We were planning from out of state, so having her take over communication with our other vendors and finalizing all the details the month before was life-saving! Ellie was so responsive, organized, and made sure we were happy with the order of events and timeline. Ellie’s professionalism and organization made the day go so smoothly, it was literally a dream day! Thank you Ellie and team!”

“Working with Ellie was the best decision we made about our wedding. She is extremely competent - organized, communicative, thoughtful, creative, and so so easy to work with! From recommending amazing vendors that matched our style (and budget) to giving us her honest opinion and suggestions, Ellie was a dream. She listened to our ideas and vision until she understood what we wanted even better than we did, and everything she created for us was way beyond our expectations. She helped us create gorgeous table decor that was totally within our budget and worked with our florist to come up with stunning table garlands. Our reception had some complicated components (lots of vegetarians and food allergies, a group of kosher attendees with a separate buffet) and Ellie handled it so smoothly and made sure everyone had the best time. Our communication styles matched perfectly - she’s super responsive and always easy to reach via email or text, and kept us updated with her progress finding vendors, coming up with design ideas, etc. We also had some unexpected family/personal issues come up a few months before our wedding, and Ellie was very patient and understanding but still kept us on track. We had a beautiful wedding and everything was perfect, and we absolutely couldn’t have done it without Ellie (and her day-of assistant)!”

“Elle was absolutely amazing and made my dream wedding a reality. She recommended the florist who created beyond beautiful arrangements and the make up/hair artist who made feel so beautiful on my wedding day. My husband was stunned by how perfect our wedding day was. Knowing I had her planning and coordinating everything left me stress free even when I got pneumonia 1 week before our wedding. She is such a professional and so organized that everything went off without a problem (at least to my knowledge). She handled our Malibu Beach wedding expertly.”

“Ellie was perfect. We did a quick call to see if we were all a good fit and when knew once we got off the call that she was perfect. Originally we wanted day of coordinator, but as things got closer we realized we wanted to take some of the stress off of us so we switched to month of. The best decision we made for our wedding. She was on top of everything. She was so responsible and always reached out before we did. She was so sweet, professional and organized. There were a few things we needed to make decisions on and she went and did all of the research for us so we could just chose from her options. She made our wedding so much more than we ever expected. I will recommend her services to anyone asking. She is the best!”

“Ellie was THE BEST! She was so seamless in her execution, we never felt overwhelmed but at the same time felt we knew the details of where to go and when. Her guidance was essential and made our day so perfect an easy! We will totally be recommending Ellie for all our friends and family : )
Thanks Ellie!”

“Ellie was truly a saving grace. I hired her for her 6 week wedding coordinator duties and she made my life so much easier. Whether it was meetings at our reception, adding/adjusting/fixing the timeline, decorating our venue, answering phone calls with questions from me, she was there with a positive attitude ready to handle it. I would 100% recommend using Ellie for any of your event planning needs - she is a queen of organization and positivity!!”

“We hired Elle as our day-of coordinator, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She is wonderfully communicative, provided us so much peace of mind, and executed our wedding day beautifully. After so much planning, I was surprised how easy it was to pass things on to and trust Elle. Highly recommend adding her to your team!”

“I’m writing this review during our honeymoon because I don’t want to forget how perfect our day was and all Elle did for us. Elle at Gatherings by Elle helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect! During the planning process, she helped answer every question I had. She was always responsive via email and I loved how engaging her social media on Instagram was so I could see all the other weddings she was working on. You can tell she is passionate about helping couples make their wedding dreams come true. She was very patient and helped me put together our event timeline and made stellar recommendations. I was able to enjoy every moment of my wedding because of Elle. She helped ensure that the ceremony and reception were on time and enjoyable for everyone. She came and let my partner and I know when it was time to do our entrance, dance, cake cutting and communicated all logistical issues we had with vendors to ensure she kept us in the loop. If you want to enjoy your day and not have to worry about all the logistics and ensure it’s perfect- from table decor, to timing cues, to fixing your train when you walk down the aisle, to not having to assign responsibilities to a friend or family member who you want to also enjoy the day, hire GBE. You will feel sooooo HAPPY you hired her and more importantly, your day will be amazing! I will be recommending her to every friend who gets engaged. It’s an investment in your day to ensure everything you worked so hard to plan for your day will pay off.”

“Ellie (Gatherings by Elle) was absolutely perfect! She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with at all hours of the day. She is very easy to get along with and doesn’t add any pressure to your wedding day or event. We cannot say enough about Ellie and how great she was or how perfectly she set up our wedding day! Thank you!”

“Gatherings by Elle is the absolute best! I brought Elle as my day-of coordinator and she and her team went above and beyond! Gatherings by Elle ensured that our vision was brought to life. My wedding required detailed coordination as I procured various vendors for every aspect of the wedding. Elle stayed on top of everything! in addition, I had some issues with my venue and one vendor and the team quickly helped resolve the problems. I HIGHLY recommend Gatherings by Elle!”

“I absolutely 1000% recommend using Gatherings by Elle. She is so organized, professional, helpful and so fun. We used her as our day of coordinator and she went above and beyond anything we could have asked! Our wedding had a lot of setting up and taking down involved and she did any amazing job at making sure our wedding dreams came true! Thank you!

“Ellie was by far the best decision i made for my wedding (other thank marrying my husband :) ). She was super responsive and helpful prior in getting things ready for the big day. The day of, she took care of making sure all of the decor and setup was going accordingly. Everything went just as i envisioned. She and her assistant made sure everything was moving along. I can’t even begin to imagine how this would’ve gone without her. But let me tell ya, at the end of the night, i felt so stress free and honestly a big chunk of that goes to Ellie. Thank you so much for making my day as beautiful and flawless as i could’ve imagined!!”

“Ellie made our wedding day so incredibly smooth! We were not sure if we needed a coordinator, but now we can’t imagine how stressed we’d be without having hired Ellie. She and her assistant were everywhere at once and catered to all of our needs. They adjusted to our pace for the event and helped to keep everything moving along. We barely had to think! Thank you so much for everything!”

“Ellie and her assistant, Kevin, were awesome. We chose Ellie as our day-of coordinator and everything went off without a hitch. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Ellie was on point, punctual, and responsive. She also gave great feedback when/where needed. On wedding day, they executed our wedding vision almost flawlessly. They helped keep things moving and kept the schedule on time. They were also there for any concerns we had and was able to trouble shoot right on the spot. At the end of the night, they helped collect and organize all our wedding décor into one area so we could easily pick them up the next day. Talk about service! Ellie and Kevin were a pleasure to work with and we’d 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.”

“Elle was amazing! My husband and I were nervous about all the details that would need to be taken care of day of and it wasn’t something we wanted to do. Elle took care of everything! She was also so helpful in the month leading up to the wedding. She helped create a schedule for the day’s events and coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. The day of our wedding we were able to focus on getting married and having fun - Elle took care of everything else! Everyone needs to have Elle at their wedding!!!”

“Ellie and her assistant were such pleasures to work with. They were professional while still being so friendly and such fun which put us at ease during the planning process. Ellie was so easy to communicate with and the pricing was unlike any I’ve seen in the surrounding areas (she’s worth every penny, and will help you keep your sanity). Thank you so much again Gatherings by Elle, not only do my husband and I appreciate your help but also my family and friends who had an amazing time. ”

“Elle is the absolute best! Having her help with your wedding is one of the smartest things you can do. I had the pleasure of working with her when I booked her as my day of coordinator. She made sure that my day ran smoothly and that I was able to enjoy my wedding, rather than freaking out over the small stuff. She is responsive to emails and texts, organized, experienced, and kind. From a month before the wedding, she was already in contact with all of my vendors making sure that everything would be fine. I had a very large traditional wedding and she was able to handle the size and traditions like a pro. I wish that I had hired her to help plan the entire wedding! Don’t even think twice, book her, she’s worth her weight in gold!”

“Hiring Ellie was by far the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We were planning from across the country and she was so responsive, organized, and on top of things we didn’t even think about. As a type A person myself, I had no hesitation handing over the reins to Ellie. The weather forecast changed on us last minute and we needed a rain plan — before we even spoke about needing one, she had a new floor plan, everything lined up and had coordinated with all our vendors. There were already a lot of moving pieces to our wedding and she handled the switch flawlessly — I would have lost my mind without her. Do yourself a favor and hire Ellie!”

“I hired Elle as a day of coordinator and it was by far the best decision I have made!!! She is super sweet and extremely helpful. She organized everything perfectly and executed my vision beautifully. She was great with all my vendors and guests. I can only imagine how much easier it would have been if I had hired her to plan the whole thing lol. Do not hesitate to hire her. She’s wonderful!”

“I was on the edge about hiring a day of coordinator but I’m soooo glad I did!! She made sure everything ran smoothly. I knew she was the perfect coordinator after 1 phone call. I had a 300 people Indian / Hispanic reception and there’s nothing that I would change. Communication was very easy and the day off had no issues, at least none that I knew of. We cannot thank you enough for your hard work. I will definitely be recommending you to any of my friends for upcoming weddings!”

“I can’t really put into words how pivotal Elle’s presence was. My wedding was the best night of my life, perfectly executed by Elle! I was able to relax and be pampered all day while Elle was confidently setting up, bringing my vision to life. I could not imagine a better scenario. I didn’t have to worry about anything. She had my guest list, processional order, timeline, decor, all of it perfectly in place. Can’t say enough good things about this person. Thank you so much!”
