Warm Regards

Elizabeth was absolutely amazing. I would not have had the perfect wedding day without her. She kept everything so smooth for the day. As the bride, I relaxed the entire day and did not worry about a thing. She was so helpful with ideas with "affordable" decorating ideas. She has great resources too. I thought that a "wedding planner/coordinator" was not something we could afford. I thought it was a luxury, but she works with whatever budget you have. When I needed something, all I had to do was call or email her. She would respond so quickly. She's great with communication and super flexible. I did a lot of planning on my own, and she was the perfect complement to help execute everything!! Do not stress out on the most important day of your life--hire Elizabeth from Grand Occasions and let her make your day beautiful. This truly was the best investment we made for our wedding.

There is no way our wedding would have been as beautiful, stress-free and fun as it was if Elizabeth had not taken over the planning. Planning a wedding is naturally a stressful experience. We did not understand how stressful, however, until we were a few months out and saw how much we still had left to do. Realizing that we needed assistance in a big way, we contacted Elizabeth to see if she.... (read more)

Elizabeth is the best wedding planner ever. I talked to all the wedding planners in the area and had an immediate connection with her. My wedding was an all day event on July 4th. We had the ceremony, brunch,and reception. Every single aspect of my wedding was perfect and beautiful. I didn't see anything before the wedding, so I was surprised the whole day. Everything was beautiful and there was so much detail at every event. Elizabeth was very patient and worked very closely with me to give me my dream wedding. My husband and I were completely satisfied with Elizabeth's work and taste. When I look at the pictures I get excited all over again. My husband wants Elizabeth to plan another wedding again for us. He was pleased with how our money was spent. I am a teacher and give Elizabeth an A+.

Elizabeth was such a blessing. She is so organized and efficient!

Being the mother of the bride is a stressful job! Especially when the bride is a student teaching, working every Saturday and trying to refurbish a house as well as plan a wedding! Top it off with.... (read more)

In the few short months Elizabeth had to plan our wedding she managed to organize and execute all aspects of our wedding including cake, flowers, and all aspects of our venue. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Looking back now I can't think of a single thing that I would have done differently and it's all thanks to my dear Elizabeth.........read more

You did such an amazingly wonderful job on Sarah's wedding and we'll never forget it. You were definitely the queen of the hour and we certainly couldn't have done it without you!

Weddings can be a lifetime dream come true event for families with daughters. To be perfectly realistic however, weddings today cost a lot of money & have so many moving parts that doing your own wedding planning would be akin to doing your own dental work. Often by the time a family gets to the wedding & reception, the bride & her parents are so stressed, they can hardly enjoy the wedding until they sigh at the end, realizing they survived. This was nearly our plight in January 2007. (read more)

Elizabeth has been helping me create lovely showers and birthday parties for over 20 years. We rarely occupy the same state so everything is done long distance via phone, email and internet. Elizabeth is especially talented in organization and meeting deadlines. She is my go to girl for questions of design and .... (read more)

Hi Elizabeth!

I just wanted to tell you how wonderful everything was! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding, it was more than I expected! Greg and I were both so pleased and happy! It turned out beautiful and everything was so calm and smooth. I enjoyed every minute of it. And it was like that because of you, and I wanted to say thanks again! You made my day even more special than I ever imagined, and I couldn't have asked for a better person to plan this event in my life. I am so glad I met you.
