"RCC’s 50th Anniversary Gala was a colossal undertaking and the smartest decision we made was bringing on Ellen to lead the event ... She really listened every step of the way and helped us turn our vision into reality. Ellen has been in this industry for a long time and used her substantial network to help us find the perfect vendors and even some sneaky savings to stay within our budget. She was always available to answer questions, take a task off our plates, or just be a thought partner. In the 6 months we worked together on this event she integrated seamlessly onto our team and became much more like family than a contracted consultant. From initial visioning mood boards to night of execution, Ellen did it all! She is phenomenal!"

“We had Ellen help us with a casual backyard event to celebrate many life & family events including our marriage, new baby, and home renovation. Ellen was a wealth of knowledge and resources to help us find the vendors we needed to make the event go off without a hitch. She had great ideas throughout the planning process and kept all the details in order to make sure nothing fell through the cracks."

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ellen for over 2 decades. She has the uncanny ability to absorb the brand, mission and program of an organization and translate that into color, taste, decor and an overall experience that transcends “event planning”. When I work with Ellen I enjoy the journey as much as I am always thrilled with the outcome.
Every detail is covered with grace and professionalism.”

“I can't express how incredibly fortunate my husband and I were to have Ellen as our Wedding planner this summer! I have worked with Ellen before, and as an event planner myself, there was no one I'd trust more to execute our vision and make sure the day was as seamless as possible. We truly felt we could let go and really be present day of, knowing she'd take care of the rest. Her attention to detail, unwavering professionalism, and exceptional ability to work with vendors to get the best deals made our wedding day a dream come true!"
