The most incredible planner

Riley and her team went above and beyond for us! We absolutely adored working with Elegant Affairs by Design. From the very beginning, Riley allowed me to dream big. She gave us options to stay within our budget without sacrificing the luxury look we were wanting. Riley was so kind through every interaction we had. She answered every question, helped me through difficult decisions, and stepped in whenever I needed her. I never worried about a single thing on our wedding day. The EABD team came in, did everything, and allowed us to enjoy our perfect day! We are so thankful!!!

Amazing attention to detail!!

Being a planner myself, I was very selective when choosing someone to help me coordinate my wedding day. I knew immediately Riley and Elegant Affairs by Design was the right choice! Riley's attention to detail and organization was incredible and made my day feel much less stressful! Best decision I made (other than saying 'I do' lol) was booking their services, I was able to enjoy my day with my friends and family!

Best Wedding Planners!

Working with the EABD team, specifically Sam, was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process! Sam was there 24/7 for us to answer any questions, reach out to different vendors, and be a sounding board for all our crazy ideas. Sam was able to execute the most phenomenal wedding with the most calm and comforting demeanor. I really can't write enough praises for Sam, but she truly was a blessing throughout the planning process. EABD Team -- thank you for all that you have done for us!

Congratulations on your engagement! This is such an exciting time in your life and I'm on a mission to create the finest, memorable wedding experience for you and your significant other.

Growing up, I was a little girl constantly dreaming about her wedding day, planning the horsedrawn carriage entrance and all the pretty storybook details. My career began in the corporate event space, strengthening my leadership, productivity, and experience working with high-end clientele. My passion for planning, and my love for connecting with people is what inspired me to start what is now Elegant Affairs by Design.

My biggest joy comes from knowing I have the ability to curate your love story, and I could not be more thrilled to play a role in your special day!
