We can’t thank you enough!
Your professionalism, patience and expertise throughout the whole wedding planning process was remarkable. So many details and unexpected challenges presented themselves, but you were there to guide us. Your patience amongst all the emails, texts, voicemails and weekly meetings deserves credit. ~ Jennifer F.

Everything was really beautiful
From the absolutely beautiful entrance, the flowers that I never thought were in my budget, the linens and tables, room layout. You outlined a variety of options for each decision. I saw all the little touches at the final party and I was thrilled. I have never worked with an event planner before and it was the best decision. ~ Alicia F.

We certainly received more than we paid for
On the day of our wedding we were really able to enjoy our friends and family because we knew the team at Elegant Events had things under control. We would recommend them to any Bride and Groom who want to hand over their wedding vision to experienced professionals who will ensure that that vision is executed with excellence. ~ Alexandra P.

We were somewhat late to hire a wedding planner
I had selected the venue, dress, etc so decided to go with the simplest package for our wedding planner needs and what a difference it made! I was a part of two other weddings this past summer and I noticed the difference for our wedding, having such an awesome wedding planner, compared to other weddings. Look no further! ~ Megan S.

I'd never had a "dream" wedding in mind
They patiently walked me through the process. We went with a venue that insisted we didn't need a wedding planner because they would take care of everything, but we had the perfect wedding because of Elegant Events! I was the most stress-free bride because of them and I am forever grateful! ~ Rechanda B.

The wedding went without a hitch
This was quite a feat, especially considering the fact that my "then-fiancée-now-wife" and I were located in California and coordinating for our Philly wedding. Extremely collaborative to work with, quick to incorporate feedback, and super enthusiastic the entire time. We wholeheartedly recommend working with the Elegant Events team for your events! ~ Jerry L.

Second to none
My sister was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer 3 months before the wedding and she took all of the stress off my family and I walked in to my dream wedding and was able to really enjoy the day while the team took care of all the details. There are no words to describe the kind of gratitude I have for this entire company. ~ Jordan W.

It was a pleasure working with Elegant Events team for our wedding. The wedding went without a hitch (literally). This was quite a feat, especially considering the fact that my “thenfiancée-now-wife” and I were located in California and coordinating with Donielle for our Philly wedding (IIRC we only visited Philly twice to plan for our wedding). In addition, we had three different themes to work with for our Chinese, Indian, and Indian Chinese American fusion wedding. To this day, we still get comments from family and friends about how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had at our wedding. Donielle was our quarterback – she managed the various food vendors, the decorations, the venues, photographers, the mandap guys, a bunch of guests, etc – and made planning a wedding while in a different time zone much easier than we expected. Donielle was extremely collaborative to work with, quick to incorporate feedback, and was super enthusiastic the entire time. It was a pleasure working with Donielle and we wholeheartedly recommend working with the Elegant Events team for your events!

Absolutely amazing!! My husband and I decided to do a micro wedding in a short timeframe and Donielle and her team helped us pull it off in 3 months! Planning a wedding is already a daunting task especially during a pandemic and Donielle made me feel at ease. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. Having the online tool as a place to collaborate and manage my guest list and vendor contacts was very helpful. Our wedding day was flawless and everything came together so nicely. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. I would highly recommend Elegant’s Events!

Elegant Events was hands down the most professional and amazing wedding planning company for me and my husband! Their communication, designs, and hard work is just an understatement about them! Donielle is the absolute best out there! She is always positive and consistent with her work. She will go above and beyond to make sure that you get exactly what you want! I can truly call her a friend!! She made our dreams come true in the middle of a pandemic and I am forever grateful! I recommend Elegant’s Events for any couples out there!

As a groom my interaction was largely with Donielle. She was amazing and had a very calming effect that allowed us to enjoy our day. She promised that the wedding would be on time and IT WAS. The other main thing we loved was the way she interacted with us and would not impose her thoughts on our wedding. she also respectfully and politely correct us when we would be thinking of things that would have been either awful or impossible to achieve. She would politely have us consider other alternatives. She also introduced us to some fantastic vendors, which we greatly appreciate. I would recommend her to anyone getting married. She really made our day be about us.
Excellent! Very professional, responsive, and detailed oriented. My husband and I just had our Philadelphia dream wedding, we were surrounded by family and friends to celebrate our love and commitment to each other and it was perfectly planned by Elegant Events. For the bride and groom who want to ensure your vision and investment for you day is handled with care, responsibility, and elegance I would highly recommend!

Let me start by saying, planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic is NO JOKE! But I am grateful to have had such a supportive and knowledgeable team guiding me every step of the way. Donielle and her team rolled with the punches of my never ending changes, with such grace and professionalism that really kept me calm during the process. Even though we didn’t get the destination wedding we hoped for, our small intimate wedding was still everything we dreamed it would be. The team of hair, make up, and photography that Elegant Events put together for us was PERFECT and made our day that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend using Elegant Events for your wedding planners!

Where to Start! We selected Donielle and the team at Elegant Events to help us coordinate the month of logistics for our March 31st wedding and we certainly received more than we paid for.
From the beginning Donielle was warm and friendly which makes her easy to work with. However, we were convinced to book Donielle as our wedding planner, because of her professionalism and responsiveness, which was consistent throughout our time working with her. Donielle was always accessible by phone email and text and any time we asked for help, she quickly went to work making sure it was executed, and provided a prompt status update. Donielle helped us get organized in the months leading up to our wedding and to stay on top of our wedding to do list. Although we had selected many vendors when we secured her services, Donielle helped us to coordinate vendor meetings and solidify day of logistics with vendors to ensure that all contracted services were delivered the day of. In a few cases the initial vendors we planned to use for our wedding did not work out at the last minute. Donielle was able to refer alternate vendors who stepped in and provided high quality services. Donielle was organized and thorough . In the month leading up to our wedding and on the day of our wedding we were really able to enjoy our friends and family because we knew the team at Elegant Events Philly had things under control. We would recommend the team at Elegant Events Philly to any Bride and Groom who want to hand over their wedding vision to experienced professionals who will ensure that that vision is executed with excellence.

Working with Donielle was so easy and she really helped us develop our vision for the wedding day and organize the to do list. She worked well with all of our vendors and even helped produce a master schedule for the various members of our wedding party. We absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a supportive and enthusiastic coordinator on their wedding day.

Rechanda + Rex | Tendenza - Cescaphe Wedding Venue - Philadelphia, PA
I don’t know where to begin! I knew that I would need extra help since I’d never had a “dream” wedding in mind. I was truly blessed to find Donielle and her team as they patiently walked me through the process. We went with a venue that insisted we didn’t need a wedding planner because they would take care of everything, but we had the perfect wedding because of Elegant Events! I was the most stress-free bride because of them and I am forever grateful! The day of our wedding the photographer (not a recommendation from Donielle) did not show, but Geo (Elegant Events) only came to us with a solution, not a problem. They booked another photographer for us and we didn’t miss a beat. Everyone was professional and quite a joy to work with. Elegant Events will definitely help make your special day perfect!

The best Wedding Coordinator ever! Donielle was there to service our needs pertaining to vendors and execution during the entire ceremony and reception. I would recommend her to anyone getting married who wants a stress-free day. Her team was professional and tended to our needs. I cannot express how much her services meant to us on our wedding day. Thanks again! 5+++ stars 🙂

I cannot say enough good things about Donielle, the owner and planner at Elegant Events. If there is a bride reading this who is considering contracting a wedding planner LOOK NO FARTHER! I had to plan a wedding in Philadelphia from Chicago, was applying for school at the beginning of the process and planning a cross-country move at the end and Donielle made everything easy. She’s not only phenomenal at her job, she’s a pleasure to work with. I now call her a friend. Donielle is professional, organized, and experienced wedding planner. I would recommend her to my friends and family and am so glad she was part of my day.

Ingrid & Baby | The Waterfall - Claymont, DE
Donielle at Elegant Events Planning & Design was nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL at our wedding. As a seasoned bridesmaid, turned Bride I thought I would be able to handle all aspects of my wedding on my own till I met Donielle. She was attentive, caring, thorough and most importantly punctual! She calmed my nerves, no idea seemed far fetch and she made my day PERFECT! Everything went seamless. I could not have asked for a better event planner/ day of coordinator. With Donielle you’ll gain not only someone who cares about your vision but also a friend. I would definitely recommend elegant events planning & designs to everyone for ALL events.
Jenae & Michael | The Waterfall - Claymont, DE
Amazing! We hired Donielle a little less than a year ago for wedding planning services. After our initial phone call I knew automatically that I would need her to help me get through the
wedding process and day. She had a way of taking all of my worries and stress as a bride and made me feel at ease. She was always a phone call away and very prompt with returning calls. I enjoyed the fact that she made me feel like I was her only client, even when she had others she makes each bride feel like you have her undivided attention. Shelia and her team also did a great job bringing my vision to life for our wedding decor and reception. My wedding day was absolutely amazing and it was thanks to Donielle and her team. On the wedding day my husband and I literally had no care in world and was able to focus on being present in the moment and enjoy our day. Donielle and Camille made sure the entire wedding party was relaxed and had everything we needed. I can not even imagine how things would have gone if we did not have Donielle and her team. She is a wonderful person and I am grateful to have had her as apart of my wedding dream team.
