ELLE'S DREAM EVENTS 2019 WEDDING PACKAGES © www.ellesdreamevents.com
Congratulations on your engagement, and thank you for the opportunity to share my services with you! My name is LaShayla Simpson, and I am the Owner and Chief Event Strategist behind Elle's Dream Events. Elle’s Dream Events is a planning firm that curates immersive, high-quality events through creativity, innovation, an affinity for detail, and a collaborative planning approach. We specialize in logistics, coordination, and guest engagement for weddings and corporate events. It is important that each of our clients receives a signature service experience. After all, it's more than just a wedding; it's the celebration of a lifetime!
The average wedding can take at least 250 hours to plan. That's a little over six 40-hour work weeks. (#Truth) You're above average. (#DoubleTruth) So think about the length of time it will take to craft yours. Even if you have that much time available, why spend it unnecessarily anxious, uncertain, or overwhelmed by the planning process? Isn't the goal for you to enjoy your wedding like everyone else? MORE than anyone else?
The answer is YES!
After all, you're marrying the love of your life!
Meet Claudia and Zakee. Claudia was a DREAM bride because she, too, is an event planner (like me!). To say she was organized is an understatement.
What else was it about Claudia that made her a dream bride?
Well,in addition to being organized, Claudia was:
*A great communicator *Open to things that she hadn't previously considered
*Clear about her vision and what she wanted
*Not afraid to ask for help
*Optimistic and passionate
And what about Zakee? Was he a dream groom? Absolutely! He was a dream groom because of Claudia. She kept the planning process fun, engaging, and stress-free for him. She told me about a rule she made after their first few instances of frustration with each other over the wedding. Instead of going to him with every little detail, every idea she saw during her daily Pinterest scroll, and every worry about the wedding at every waking moment of the day, she would share updates with him and get his input on critical things once a week for one hour. ONE. HOUR. The day of the week that they agreed upon was Sunday. Sundays in the fall were a guarantee for Zakee to be in a good mood. Why? 4 words. Cheat meals and football. (He was on a diet for the wedding.) #TouchdownClaudia
So you see, cooperation, coordination, and collaboration on all fronts are needed to pull off a successful wedding and planning process. Claudia made the process fun, productive, and engaging for Zakee, and I did the same for her. She was able to chat with me about all the details that would've made Zakee overwhelmed. I loved every moment of it! (Details are my jam.) In addition to being clear on what you want, being open and flexible, and remaining optimistic, the planning and execution of every event depend greatly upon the team of professionals chosen to bring it all to life. We’ve built excellent partnerships with reputable vendors and have found that this division of labor is a win-win for you. We’d love to be the bridge to the vendor team of your dreams! We’ll meet so we can get to know you on a personal level, understand exactly how you envision your day, talk through event goals, and set a realistic budget to execute it. Having a reliable professional on the ground to execute your vision is essential to the success of the day and to keeping your confidence intact.
Eliminate uncertainty about your next steps. Let us guide you through the journey! We do this for a living and enjoy the process.

That’s why we step in 6 weeks prior to the event. We want the opportunity to gain as much knowledge as possible from you, which will then allow us to fully immerse into the fabric of the day as your eyes and ears on the ground. We will contact and coordinate with your vendors to execute a seamless flow to the day.
