2023 - “Jenna with Elegant Events is the most punctual, organized, and spot-on person ever! She is talented to say the very least and did an absolutely incredible job at keeping everything flowing during the planning process, the day before at rehearsal, and on our wedding day (January 2023). So grateful to consider her a friend after this whole experience. If you're needing a planner or day of coordinator, LOOK NO FURTHER! She is in high demand yall, and with good reasoning!! 100% a MUST-HAVE!!” - Reese, bride

2022 - “Let me just start by saying you NEED to hire Maureen with Elegant Events. When I say she is the best in the business I mean it. She guided me through every step and suggested vendors who turned out to be perfect for what I was wanting. I was definitely a particular bride so I had a lot of little details that were very important to me. She went above and beyond to make sure everything came together exactly how I wanted it. She was the first one at the venue and was already on top of everything. Her wedding day team worked so hard helping with whatever was needed the entire night. No matter what I needed someone was there to help. My wedding turned out to be better than I could have ever imagined. It was the best night of my life and not one thing went wrong thanks to Maureen and her assistants. I would 100% use her again and will recommend Elegant Events to anyone who needs a wedding planner. I truly could not have had my dream wedding without Maureen.” - Kendall, bride

2020 - '“Being the MOG, planning a Texas Hill Country Rehearsal Dinner while living 1,000+ miles away was something I definitely needed assistance with. Elegant Events (EE) to the rescue! Once my now daughter-in-love chose EE to help with wedding planning details, I followed suit for the Rehearsal Dinner and was glad I did. Maureen and Jenna brought a level of calm to the planning, suggested the best of the best vendors, and provided a team who covered every detail from pet sitting to bus loading! Amazing! Timelines, budgets, details - that's their gig! I would suggest Elegant Events to anyone! And then sit back and ENJOY your big day!”

2019 - “Maureen is hands down an expert in the wedding planning industry, and this is coming from someone who does event planning on the side in Dallas! I used Maureen for initial wedding planning consultation services for the first couple months of planning my wedding. In those couple of months, the wisdom and expertise she offered me was more valuable than any of the other wedding planners or planning services I consulted with when I was shopping around for a planner. Let's also talk about how she called me within minutes of me first reaching out to her on her website for information on her services. She spoke to me for over an hour (free of charge) about my wedding vision and offering her knowledge and referral contacts for just about every vendor I needed. I truly believe you get what you pay for, and Maureen's expertise could easily let her charge 5x more than what she does. I promise once you talk to her, you'll know this is the person who will make your big day better than you imagined. My wedding planning needs changed, so I am so sad I wasn't able to hire her, but just a few calls and emails working with her set my wedding planning goals ahead by months (no exaggeration). No one else in this industry compares! Hire her!”

2018 - “Jenna with Elegant Events did such an amazing job helping us plan our wedding! We cannot recommend them enough! She made it so much fun and stress free throughout the whole process. Jenna is very detail oriented and did such a great job making the design we wanted a reality. The day of the wedding was stress free and neither my mom nor I had to worry about anything. Jenna and her staff were outstanding that whole day. Every time I needed something, they wouldn’t even hesitate to get it for me. My nephew had lost his bow-tie and they went out and bought him another one that morning. During the reception, Jenna and her staff not only made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed, but they also made sure my parents were good too. When my husband and I got back to our hotel room, all of our bags were there waiting for us + two plates of food and cake. We hadn’t eaten much of our dinner due to nerves, so this was such a nice surprise! The customer service that we received the day of the wedding and throughout the whole planning process was outstanding. We felt so special the day of the wedding and we have so many good memories from that night! We cannot thank Jenna enough for all that she did for us!”

2017 - “We're not just glad we got a wedding planner; we're glad we got Maureen. We had a laughably complicated wedding, and she made it go extraordinarily well. Detail-oriented, methodical and unflappable, she stayed calm -- and kept everyone else calm -- no matter how many curveballs we threw at her. She is always available, on the phone, email and in person, which was helpful for out-of-town couples. She never judged our opinions, and always made sure the bride's voice was heard, no matter how many other people were throwing in their suggestions. All of our ideas, even a Ferris wheel (!) were made a reality. It was a beautiful, fun day in which we didn't have to worry about anything. Every detail was covered, down to Maureen's associate, Jenna sewing a button on the minister's coat right before the ceremony. We're so happy we chose Elegant Events.”

2016 - "I don’t even have the words to express how I feel about Maureen and Jenna. The quality of service far exceeded my expectations. Months later I STILL have friends and family raving about our wedding. My vision would not have come to fruition if not for Jenna’s patience, guidance and hard work. I see others struggle under the weight of wedding planning stress, I’d do it again in a heartbeat! Even more important, I’ve made some friends for life. Thank you Elegant Events by Maureen!"

2015 - “Elegant Events by Maureen helped me plan and pull off the Best Day Ever. I was living in DC and planning a wedding in TX and only made two trips home to talk in person and run errands. Without the support, guidance and advice from Elegant Events I know I couldn't have pulled off such a perfect wedding. From the florist to the cake (oh I still wish I had more of the cake) they knew all of the right people to help me stay within my budget and still get just what I envisioned. Jenna was ever so patient with me and she spent hours on the phone walking me through different options and completing shopping for the event. They had everything planned out for the day of the wedding and as far as I know there were no issues just the way I wanted it. When we first met I said all I want to do is show up to a beautiful wedding....and I did, it was wonderful. The day was so great I'm already dreaming up our vow renewal in 5 years and yes I'd use Elegant Events along with the florist, baker, rentals, caterer I was that happy with it all. Thank you for making our day The Best Day Ever.”

2014 - "If you want the best service, most attentive and caring wedding coordinator, you've got to use Elegant Events! They helped give me a wedding I couldn't even dream of, taking my visions and made them a reality. The whole team surpassed even my highest expectations, and I was a picky bride! From fixing issues at the reception (so I never knew about them), to finding us the best prices (even if it meant furniture coming from over 5 hours away!), to being flat out honest with us...Maureen and her team were invaluable. My husband and I say numerous times we couldn't have had the wedding/reception we had without Maureen and Jenna! I would suggest Elegant Events to any and every one!"
