I’m from Nashville and my son got married in Taylor MS on graduation weekend for Ole Miss (15 min away). Ellen made this weekend seamless and effortless for us. She navigated the nightmare traffic and hotel rooms in oxford and logistics of getting guests to and from the SEVEN events we hosted and we hosted many since there were no restaurants available. Bridesmaid luncheon, welcome dinner for out-of-towners, rehearsal dinner, post toast, girls lunch and mens lunch both on Saturday, wedding, reception and after party. It was a weekend full of perfectly executed events. I could not have done it without Ellen. She allowed me to throw in crazy wedding mom ideas like ordering chairs that we could find to rent and trading out with rental company and making a graceful balance between bride, mother-in-law and mom. She is professional, never gets ruffled and has a beautiful smile at all times. She’s the best!
Ellen and her team were truly blessings when it came to planning my wedding. I had no idea how much time and effort planning an event like this takes, and I am so, so, thankful we had Ellen helping us and making sure all of our boxes were checked. We could not have coordinated everything we wanted or accomplished everything without her!
As a Chicago couple planning a wedding in Oxford, MS, we could not have made a better decision in hiring Ellen and her team to coordinate our wedding weekend. If we could go back and redo our entire wedding weekend, we wouldn’t change one detail. ETED’s attention to detail, experience, vendor connections, creativity and approach are unmatched in Oxford. From the start of our wedding planning process about a year before the wedding to the “Farewell Brunch,” we felt supported the entire way through, especially planning a “destination wedding.”
Ellen took the time to figure out what our vision was, what we wanted our guests to experience and what we wanted to remember, she made our vision come to life and exceeded our expectations. On the day of the wedding, Ellen was organized and positive with an essence of calm and a smile that made us feel at ease and confident everything was being executed as planned. ETED’s expertise, diligence, and attitude allowed us to enjoy and be a part of our wedding rather than be behind the scenes. We wish we could get married multiple times just so we can work with the ETED team again!
