Abagail is amazing. My husband and I couldn't have done our vow renewal without her. We even booked her after we'd done a lot. I'd already picked and booked a venue, gotten a dress, bought some fake flowers to arrange, found an officiant, picked where I wanted to get food catered from and where I wanted to order my cake. It was hard to know how to wrap it all together and I hadn't actually contacted either food place yet. There were also things I'd overlooked.

Realizing that I still lacked someone to oversee the day, when I saw that Connie (the owner of our venue, Starlight Meadows) recommend Abagail, I decided to reach out. Right away I was impressed with how kind and friendly Abagail was. She has an amazing smile and reassuring personality that right away started to put me at ease.

In our first meeting she helped me realizing I hadn't thought about music. My husband and I had barely given it a thought and I didn't realize that a DJ doesn't just play the music, but also makes the announcements and helps direct people. At this point my budget was a little more limited, but she was able to help me find someone within it. I'm so glad I followed her advice and got a DJ.

She also reached out to both Olive Garden and Cold Stone (the food places I'd picked) to learn what we needed to do to successfully order food from them. I hadn't even thought of asking Cold Stone about decorating my cake and if they had other options besides just cake, but Abagail asked for me. This lead to me having a beautifully decorated cake along with stunning ice cream cupcakes with flowers in my colors on top of them.

Abagail was so supportive of my husband and I and our ideas. She never made me feel judged, but instead showed genuine excitement for what we wanted to do. I clicked really well with her and enjoyed interacting with her. By the time our vow renewal happened, I felt like I'd just gained another friend at my event. Even though I hadn't met her assistant, Teralynn, before the event, I soon found her to also be really kind, hard working, and a pleasure to have around.

Abagail is the perfect event planner. Not only is she very friendly, but she's on top of everything and kept me on track. She is great at moving things forward while also not making it super stressful. Without her help, I know I would have been way more stressed. I’m so grateful that I was able to work with her. She helped make my dream come true and I'll forever be grateful for that.

Absolutely the best Wedding Coordinator out there. Abagail worked with us for 18 months planning our dream wedding, working on all the finer details and ensuring absolutely every detail was perfect.

She was a dream to work with, always extremely organized and prepared. Not only that, she came ready to talk us both down off the ledge when we were stressing about particular details. She served as both a coordinator and therapist at times, and did it with a professionalism and warmth that let us know she's really a special person.

Day of, she had two assistants Autumn and Chenda who worked tirelessly to execute the ambitious plan and really help make the wedding next-level in terms of production.

We weren't making a cookie-cutter wedding, we were making something that truly represented ourselves and our lives. Abagail, Autumn and Chenda all made that happen, and the date will live forever in all who experienced it.

Please consider them for your business, as I honestly cannot say enough about how this event would not have happened nearly on the level we hoped without this team. They're the best at this, and they're just great people to spend time with.

Thanks again, Elaborate Events!

Abagail was such an amazing event coordinator. She met with me every month to discuss wedding details and kept a detailed excel spreadsheet to help me keep track of everything. She was a great emotional support throughout the process and helped me with my confidence in my vision. On the day of, everything was perfect. She left plenty of room for error and when things got off track, she was quick to get everything back on track. I could not recommend Abagail enough to plan your event! She truly is amazing and good at what she does! :D

My wife and I met Abagail while she was helping my wife’s sister and brother in law with their wedding. She did an amazing job planning and coordinating the whole thing. So well in fact after I proposed to my wife we knew from the start we’d enlist the help of Abagail and Elaborate Events.

I can say without any hesitation Abagail had her work cut out with us as her clients. We both have very busy work schedules and are both lacking in the imagination and decorating abilities. We knew what we wanted (thank you Pinterest) but had no idea how to make it a reality. Abagail’s attention to detail, patience, positivity and encouragement really kept us on track and in high spirits. At times wedding planning is stressful and overwhelming. Abagail went above and beyond both recognizing when we were overwhelmed and then coming to the rescue to ensure the entire process, planning, set up, the event itself and tear down went smoothly and with minimal effort or stress on us, the bride and groom.

Highly recommend Abagail and her team at Elaborate Events!!

From the Vendors Who Work With Her

Praise from a fellow planner's peers, the bands, and the vendors on the day reads a little differently. They see how she runs a wedding from the inside.

She is the best planner we've worked with so far. She is on top of EVERYTHING, and she's so sweet, friendly, and considerate.

Tristin H. · The Afterparty Band

She not only thinks about the bride but cares about every single person who's part of the wedding, all the way to every vendor.
