TESTIMONIALS

"we couldn’t have done it without them"

Words cannot express how grateful we are that we had this amazing team throughout our wedding planning process! These ladies were nothing but wonderful across the board. They always knew exactly what needed to be done and when, what details would add a special touch to our day, had a solution for every potential situation, were always punctual for meetings and truly listened to what our desires were for our wedding so they could deliver an event that exceeded our expectations. On the actual wedding day, we couldn’t have done it without them. Of course they kept everyone on schedule and logistically made the day run smoothly, but more than anything, Maddie and Emma were the friends we needed there to calm our nerves, be our biggest fans, and make sure we had the most perfect day from start to finish. We love the ETED team and highly recommend for all wedding planning needs!!!

"AN EYE FOR MAKING A SHOW STOPPING EVENT"

ETED made wedding planning the most fun and seamless process! I had so much fun brainstorming with Maddie and Ellen, and they truly have an eye for making a show stopping event! They became our such good friends throughout the process and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help make the day so special!

Ellen is the definition of a professional event planner. She did such an amazing job planning my wedding and our welcome party. She is so easy to communicate with, and she is just SO kind. She leads you through all the steps, makes it clear when you need to get things done and decisions made. I would recommend using Ellen for ANY event you have - she will make it one to remember! Thank you, Ellen, for making my dream wedding come to life!

“A Beautiful Experience”

“our day was flawless”

Working with Ellen and her team was nothing short of incredible. From the beginning, they were eager to help and were extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. I felt like I could ask them anything, and it was always clearly and thoroughly explained to me. They ensured our day was flawless (and if there were, I certainly didn’t know). If I did it all over again, I would choose Ellen Thomas Event Design every single time.

“better than we would have ever imagined!”

Ellen Thomas Event Design was amazing! They listened to what we wanted and they made sure the end result was even better than we would have ever imagined! They worked so hard every step of the way and we could not have been more pleased! It truly was a dream weekend and my other two kids said there is no way their weddings could be better! That sums it up!!!

"MADE OUR DAY PERFECT"

The ETED Team was absolutely incredible! From our first meeting, where I felt so welcomed and heard as I navigated what I wanted my wedding day to look like to the day of where I never had to worry about a thing - I could have never had the peace of mind like I did without them! They were honest with me on decisions that I asked for their opinions and they shared in my excitement with me when we started to see things coming together! Their organization was probably where they helped the most, from a structured timeline of what should be done and by when, to final invoices from allll the vendors, how to pay, and when to pay them - I truly couldn't have done it without them! I joked towards the end, but really I was being serious, I hope to get to hang out with the ETED team as friends when we come back to Oxford because they truly are the kindest, COOLEST, and best wedding planners I could have ever asked for! How special to gain friends through the process - I am just so thankful for each of them that made our day perfect!

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

"THEY DID NOT MISS
A BEAT"

I truly cannot thank Maddie and her team enough for catering to all of our needs throughout the whole wedding planning process. They did not miss a beat! From the constant emails, texts, questions that I asked them (even on a Sunday!!) They always answered super quickly and with extreme detail. Planning a wedding out of state can be a bit nerve racking but Maddie and the team at Ellen Thomas Event Design made the process feel so much better! If you are needing a top notch event planner for your next event, I 100% recommend them!!

Her team is wonderful, as well! Choosing Ellen Thomas Event Design is the first step into having a perfect wedding!!!
