At the Heart of What We Do
There’s wedding planning that can feel stressful, overwhelming or over-the-top. And then there’s wedding planning that chooses a more easeful route – one that follows your pace, whether you’re designing an intimate boutique wedding or a large-scale event. Imagine: walking into your reception with a design that feels like you, inspired by nature (with a dash of maximalism) – all with sustainable materials. Food that’s farm-fresh and locally sourced. A talented vendor and a wait staff that’s compensated fairly.
We believe that designing around who you are as a couple is just as important as being aware of the environmental impact. At By Elise Events & Design, we weave one-of-a-kind, personal and magical events together with the belief that it’s possible to create an unforgettable celebration that leaves nothing and no one behind.
“My wife and I agree— the best decision we made about our wedding (after choosing each other) was working with Elise.
Despite all the stresses weddings can bring, we gelt assured that Elise were on top of things. Things we appreciated about her: She took time to understand our vision on both a macro and micro level, Took time to know our families and what they valued in a ceremony, Incredibly creative and thoughtful about all elements of design, So accommodating to meeting/talking around our schedule. I am very biased, but I think we had the best wedding ever. We thank Elise for it 🙂

Celebrations That Care
Hello! My name is Elise (she/her) and I founded By Elise Events & Design in 2015 with a mission to help create beautiful, unique and memorable celebrations that directly reflect your vision and personality.
As an environmental and social justice advocate, I believe it’s part of my responsibility as an event professional to do everything I can to be conscious, inclusive, and sustainable when it comes to producing an event. I want you to enjoy your celebration that’s as beautiful and personal as it is caring and planet-friendly. At By Elise Events & Design, we believe that every wedding can be as unique and special as it is inclusive and conscious of the world around us.
