About Elite Events Design LLC

Elite Events Design LLC

Lead Wedding Planner

I'm the person who notices the details no one else does. Long before your wedding day arrives, I'm thinking through timelines, vendor logistics, guest flow, and backup plans so you don't have to. My couples know they can text me anytime a question pops up, lean on me for honest advice, and trust that every detail is being thoughtfully managed. My goal is simple: I want you to look back on your wedding and remember the hugs, the laughter, and the people you love—not the things you were worried about.

We're more than wedding planners—we're the team that quietly fills the gaps other vendors don't. From planning and coordination to décor setup, rentals, staffing, bar services, and even transporting your décor, we simplify the entire wedding experience under one roof. Fewer vendors to manage, fewer details to juggle, and one trusted team making sure everything comes together seamlessly.

In three words: Creative, Organized, Resourceful

    It was Elite!

    From the moment my (now) husband and I had our first video call I knew Kelly was our ‘It’ woman! The 3 of us hit it off so well. Her years of experience and creativity paired very well with the visions we had to make our special day, perfect. We contracted Elite Events Design as our day of coordinator, so we could enjoy all the fruits of our labor and not have to worry about anything, and in the event of something possibly going awry, I knew we were in the best possible hands and I’d likely never have to know about it on or after our wedding day! Hehe My husband and I tried to be very economically and financially responsible, and we didn’t want to buy a ton of things that would never get used again. Kelly learned this about me when she knew we were renting silk flowers for our alter pillars and ordering beautiful bamboo bridesmaid flower bouquets, she was fortunately able to offer some rentable inventory items which made us feel even more comfortable with our choices. We had so much confidence in Kelly’s direction and skillset! On the day of wedding, we were blown away with how organized she was, as there are SO many moving parts & then, we saw the room reveal- she tied our whole vision together (insert biggest sigh of relief!) It was truly the most magical day and we were lucky enough to have Elite Events Design and Kelly in our corner. I would absolutely choose her again for any future events we may have. Thank you so much Kelly for all your hard work! Lauren & Ricky

    Lauren & Ricky, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words 🤍 It truly means everything to know you felt confident, supported, and able to fully enjoy your wedding day. Bringing your vision together and creating a seamless, stress-free experience was an absolute joy, and I’m so glad the room reveal gave you that moment of relief and excitement. Thank you for trusting me and Elite Events Design with such a meaningful milestone—it was truly an honor to be part of your wedding day! - Kelly

    Best day of coordinator!

    Kelly is a must have for any wedding or event. Her skills and commitment are incomparable. I am a particular bride and Kelly was able to take my vision and bring it to life as our Day Of Coordinator. I cannot express my gratitude to her and all her hard work on our wedding day. We had planned for months together this sunny beach wedding and it quickly turned into an indoor hurricane party the day of and Kelly was quick to adapt and change up the plans and schedules we had created and make a completely new wedding plan! I am so thankful for her hardwork. Her personality is radiating and I'm so thankful to have had her for our wedding day. I highly recommend Kelly's services to any bride or anyone planning an event! There are so many things we don't think about and Kelly is there to help with each step. Thank you Kelly for everything!! -Victoria & Frankie

    Best decision ever!

    Hiring Kelly as our partial planner and day of coordinator was the best decision we could have made! It really took so much of the stress out of planning and she thought of things we never would have! The day of my wedding was perfect and my husband and I were truly able to enjoy every minute of it, while all the little details (and some big ones!) were handled. We would strongly recommend Elite Events Design for your upcoming wedding! Thanks again!

    We love Elite Events Design!!!

    From the moment we started working with Elite Events Design LLC, we knew we were in good hands. Kelly’s communication was always professional, helpful and clear, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - they paid incredible attention to every detail, taking so much stress off of us so we could simply enjoy our wedding day. Elite Events Design LLC's services were extremely valuable, and we are forever grateful for how they contributed to making our special day perfect. We cannot recommend them enough.


We’ve planned a variety of weddings including backyard weddings, elegant ballroom receptions, rustic barn celebrations, romantic garden ceremonies, and intimate micro-weddings. Our specialty lies in personalized planning and design—whether it’s a classic black-tie affair or a boho-chic celebration!
Yes! Elite Events Design is led by me, Kelly, and I’ll be your main point of contact throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, I bring in trusted assistants and staff as needed depending on the size and scope of your event. Whether you're booking Day-of Coordination or Full Planning, you'll always have someone experienced, organized, and fully invested in making sure your day runs smoothly.
That depends on the service you book! For Full & Partial Planning, we typically begin as soon as your date is reserved. You’ll have unlimited email access and a mix of scheduled in-person meetings and Google Meet check-ins throughout the planning process to keep everything on track. For Day-of Coordination, our first official planning meeting takes place approximately 8 weeks before your event, followed by unlimited emails leading up to the big day. We share a Google folder which allows you to upload essential information so that we are completely informed. We will have another google meet prior to the wedding to finalize all the details.
Yes, we do! In addition to weddings, we love planning bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and other special celebrations. Whether you need help with design, logistics, or full coordination, we offer services tailored to fit your event. Many of our couples choose to bundle wedding planning with pre-wedding events for a seamless, cohesive experience.
No, we don’t. We believe in giving each couple our full attention and care. When you book with Elite Events Design, your event becomes our top priority—we don’t take on multiple weddings in the same day or weekend. This ensures we're fully focused on you, your vision, and every detail of your celebration.
Backyard weddings are beautiful and personal—but they’re also full-scale productions! Unlike a venue, your home or private space doesn’t come with staff, timelines, or built-in logistics. That’s where we come in. With our partial planning service, we handle everything from rental coordination, layout planning, vendor scheduling, and even crowd control so your day feels effortless and organized. We troubleshoot behind the scenes, manage setup and cleanup, and make sure nothing is overlooked—from where the caterer parks to where Grandma sits. With us on your team, your backyard transforms into a polished, stress-free wedding experience.
Our pricing is primarily based on the guest count and overall scope of the event. For example, our Day-of Coordination starts at $1,000 for smaller weddings, but the rate increases as the guest list grows. More guests often means larger rental orders, more décor, detailed crowd management, and the need for additional staff to ensure everything runs smoothly. This structure applies across all our packages—because every detail scales with the size and complexity of the celebration. We customize our services to match your needs and provide a clear proposal so there are no surprises.
