Elle realizes that it's the little things that make the biggest difference. The full-service coordination of Events By Elle delivers the most wonderful and memorable celebrations imaginable. The experience is sure to be a memorable event for both you and your guests.
As the home page of her website states,
"The best thing about memories is making them. We'll handle the rest."
Brides of America's owner, David Abadi, says, "The weddings that I have seen with Events By Elle's help are the most gorgeous, most organized weddings in Miami. We love Elle because she is as picky as I am about the tiniest details, and we both make sure the customer is our #1 priority." David recently had a chance to talk to Elle, and this is what she had to say.
How did you first get involved with wedding and event planning?
According to my family, I've been doing this in some form my entire life! From organizing bake sales to planning prom and working on student council activities, I have been doing some type of planning ever since I can remember. At one point my dad asked me if I realized that people get paid to do this sort of thing and I could actually make a career out of it. I sort of laughed it off at the time, but he was right! I have now been involved in event planning for 6 years, and I opened my own company, Events By Elle, a little over 2 years ago.

What type of training did you receive?
I went to college at the University of Alabama for a major in Communications Studies and a minor in Public Relations. Both of those are very helpful in this business, but I fell in love with event planning over a summer internship at a PR and event planning firm in Miami. I thought that I would be more interested in the PR side of things, but once I got a chance to try my hand at the event planning side, I fell in love with it.
What is your favorite thing about this business?
Getting to help people truly enjoy the important moment they are celebrating is my favorite part. I want to make sure that they have fun during the entire planning process in addition to the event itself. I have met some great people along the way and formed some wonderful relationships.

What sets you apart from other companies?
I am often told that my clients greatly appreciate how calm I remain under pressure. If anything unexpected happens, I make sure it is taken care quickly, calmly, and discreetly. Also, I make sure that I am very accessible. When someone calls or emails the company, I am the person they will talk to.
What have you noticed about weddings lately?
Many people aren't planning as far ahead as they used to. Rather than a year before the wedding, a lot of couples come to me a lot closer to the wedding date. I had a 500-guest wedding that asked if I could help them plan a wedding in 3 months! I told them, 'Of course!' and then we planned a very successful celebration!

Describe yourself in three words.
Elegant, grounded, and dedicated.
Do you have any interesting stories about an event?
I once worked a wedding that took place outdoors. It began pouring rain, but the entire group of wedding guests kept partying all night long! Those people had the most fun that I have ever seen a group have.
What is one thing that people may not know about being a wedding planner?
A lot of people see my team all dressed up at the event and assume that this job is just one great big party. What they don't see is how early we started, sometimes before 6 am, or how late we are there, often well past midnight. It's a lot of work, but I truly love this job, and my team and I put our heart and soul and a lot of effort into every event that we plan so that it looks effortless.
