✨ The 2025 Wedding Season Has Officially Wrapped! ✨

Last weekend marked the end of our 2025 wedding season, and what a journey it has been. My team and I had the absolute joy of traveling both near and far to help couples say “I do” in heartfelt ceremonies and beautifully intentional celebrations.

This year stretched and taught me in ways I didn’t expect. As our industry experienced a major shift in so many ways, I took a step back to reassess, refine, and reimagine Elana Events. Growth often hides in the unexpected, and I’m so excited to share the new ways we’ll be helping couples achieve their wedding planning dreams in 2026.
Stay tuned, something beautiful is on the horizon.

We also took a closer look at our vendor partnerships this year, prioritizing those who value true collaboration, provide a prestige-level experience, and treat our couples with the care and excellence they deserve. I’m deeply grateful for every creative partner who shares that same commitment.

Here’s to reflection, refinement, and remarkable celebrations ahead. 🥂

Avoid Going “Venue Broke” & Hire Your Planner First! ✨

After 17 years of experience planning weddings across the Southeast, California, and destination locations, we know that booking your planner before your venue is the key to a smooth, stress-free planning journey.

What is “venue broke”? It’s when couples overspend on their venue and have little budget left for everything else florals, photography, décor, and all the details that make a wedding unforgettable. We help prevent that!

Here are 5 reasons to hire your planner first:

1️⃣ Budget Alignment – Keep your finances in check so you don’t go “venue broke.”
2️⃣ Venue Matchmaking – We guide you to venues that fit your style, guest count, and logistics.
3️⃣ Vendor Access – Lock in the best florists, photographers, and more from the start.
4️⃣ Timeline Efficiency – Plan your wedding step by step without surprises.
5️⃣ Stress-Free Decisions – Make confident choices and enjoy the journey.

From a Southeast wedding to a California celebration or a destination wedding abroad, starting with a planner ensures every detail is perfectly executed. ✨
