About Michelle Elaine Weddings

Michelle Elaine Weddings

Owner & Chief Creative Planner

From a very young age, Michelle had goals to start her own business and become her own boss; well before it was "cool" to be an entrepreneur. In 2011, she was ready to create her own name. She set out to be something different in the wedding industry. Michelle wanted to be that trustworthy guide for couples and help them transparently navigate the overwhelming journey of wedding planning. From that initial meeting through to your wedding day Michelle is everything you could have dreamed of and more. Wedding planning is overwhelming but being in her caring, knowledgable, and talented hands makes the process enjoyable and easy.

She is passionate about the care of your overall wellness and mental health. Having completed the New York City Marathon five times, brides have been coming to Michelle for years seeking health and fitness advice. Planning your wedding can become taxing to your mental well-being and so Michelle not only works to make your wedding dreams a reality but she's like your best friend who is always dragging you to the latest workout class. Her genuine care for you just as a person and not only a wedding planning client speaks volumes about the high quality of service you receive when working with Michelle.

In three words: Calm, Honest, Thoughtful

  • Couldn’t have done it without Michelle!

    •Verified review

    We chose Michelle as our full service wedding planner largely because she only takes on a few weddings a year. We wanted 'true' full service and Michelle delivers that and more. She makes you feel as if you are the only bride she's working with and gives everything 110%. She is super easy to talk to, like you're just hanging out with a friend, and is also a great advocate for you to vendors. Michelle is incredibly organized and juggled the crazy amount of vendors we had, given that we had a tented wedding and had to bring in everything. She made everything go so smoothly leading up to the wedding and on the day itself and her and her team takes care of every little detail. Our wedding day was so magical and everything I had dreamed of in the months of planning it, and there was no way we could have done it without Michelle!

  • The BEST planner for recovering perfectionists

    Working with Michelle was, without question, the best decision we made for our wedding. We wanted to give our wedding guests a memorable experience, and recognized that finding an experienced and well-rounded full service planner would be crucial to making it a reality. Michelle was everything we could have hoped for as a creative thought partner in our planning process, and so much more. She brought a highly vetted network of vendors to the table, helped us understand different tradeoffs based on our priorities and budget, and was thorough, patient, and fully transparent while advocating on our behalf. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, Michelle went above and beyond in anticipating issues large and small, staying on top of key decisions and dates, and occasionally playing therapist to our wedding-related anxiety. All the effort was rewarded, as it directly translated into some of our guests’ favorite moments, and thoughtful details that they raved about. On the day-of, her execution (along with her very considerate team!) was stellar as well; our guests, venue, and vendors all shared that it was one of the smoothest and drama-free weddings they had ever been a part of. It was a joy working with Michelle, and if you’re fortunate to have the opportunity to do so as well, do it!

  • The most AMAZING wedding planner!

    Michelle worked with me throughout my wedding planning to create the most amazing wedding weekend! She has done all three of my sisters weddings and mine; and we couldn't be happier. She is an incredibly hard worker. Michelle was amazing at communicating with me and the vendors throughout wedding planning and up until the wedding was over. The day of the wedding, my husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves because we trusted Michelle and her team. Michelle is punctual, extremely organized, and the sweetest person. We love Michelle!

    Michelle and her team at Michelle Elaine Weddings did a great job for us from start to finish. She's extremely well organized and accessable, and made the whole planning experience much easier and efficient, even in the face of Covid related delays and uncertainty. She was great at dealing with vendors and with all the intricate details of our wedding. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable wedding experience! RA & KA
