About EKS Weddings and Events

EKS Weddings and Events

Owner, Lead Planner

EKS Weddings and Events is here to make your life easier. Whether you need some professional advice or someone to take the reins from the beginning to end, I will be here for you. I am specialized in a variety of events from weddings to social celebrations, like birthday parties, bridal showers and holiday functions. There is no event too big or too small. It is my job to make your event vision a stress-free reality.

Working with people to help recognize and create their event visions has always been a passion of Elizabeth. There is nothing better than looking out at an event and seeing all of the happy faces. She is an Atlanta native, born and raised. Following college, she spent a year and a half working onboard a Disney Cruise Ship; one of the best and hardest jobs. Once she returned home, she became certified in weddings and began working directly within the event industry as a sales manager and event planner for several private country clubs. She has planned and executed hundreds of events, and would love to be a part of your next one.

In three words: Calm, Organized, Resourceful

    Elizabeth is an absolute delight to work with. She has been the coordinator for several of our weddings here at TPC Sugarloaf. Elizabeth is thorough in her planning, prompt in her communication, and always professional. Elizabeth does not miss a beat and has great attention to detail. She is our favorite planner to work with!

    Elizabeth is truly the best. Elizabeth was our full-service planner for our wedding at the Fernbank Museum in September 2022, and working with her firm, EKS Weddings and Events, was the single best decision of our entire planning process. We did not hire Elizabeth on a whim; I spoke with many potential planners and Elizabeth really stood out. From our first conversation, Elizabeth was professional, organized, and detail-oriented. When we first got engaged, I actually did not want a full-service planner and was instead leaning towards hiring a month-of-coordinator. My partner and I both have planning experience, and we wanted our wedding to perfectly represent us. Before working with Elizabeth, we thought hiring a full-service planner meant we’d be “giving up control” of planning. In reality, working with Elizabeth allowed us to host a perfect wedding while still enjoying the planning process. We were able to focus on the fun aspects, like tastings and décor, while she handled the not-so-fun parts, like organizing fine-print contracts and budgeting. A great vendor team is critical to any wedding’s success, and Elizabeth was the best leader. She has amazing industry connections and very high standards, so her recommendations saved us from extra stress and kept us on budget. Elizabeth’s industry reputation is stellar, and this became clear as we approached our wedding day. Several different vendors, including ones Elizabeth had never worked with before, raved about her organization and attention to detail. One vendor even said we were lucky to have the best planner in Atlanta, and we couldn’t agree more. Elizabeth went above and beyond for us. Like any good planner, she organized our budget, handled vendor communications, and kept us on task with consistent updates. But Elizabeth did so much more; when we realized our original venue (which we booked prior to hiring Elizabeth) could not meet our needs, she found us something even better. When Elizabeth saw that I was getting overwhelmed with the “little detail” decisions like place-cards and ceremony programs, she suggested an in-person meeting and worked through it with me. She even helped DIY a few personal touches, which is something we are so grateful for. My now husband and I have said, “Thank God for Elizabeth” more times than we can count during the past 18 months. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be and more, and we have Elizabeth to thank for that. Elizabeth and her awesome assistant Kat handled everything the day-of, allowing everyone else to simply enjoy the day. Many guests have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and that’s a testament to Elizabeth’s hard work, organization, and thoughtfulness. Elizabeth is one of a kind and the best in the business. We are forever grateful to her and give her our very highest recommendation.

    I don't even know where to begin to explain how great it was to work with Elizabeth. From the very beginning, Elizabeth made everything fun and enjoyable. The entire planning process was smooth and stress-free. I do not know how we would have survived the planning process without her. 10/5 stars highly recommend choosing Elizabeth as your wedding planner. She will not disappoint. We're so thankful for her and for making our day everything we wanted and more!
