OUR STORY

Briana Morrison Photography

HELLO, I’M ABAGAIL.

Hi, I’m Abagail, the designer and planner behind Elaborate Events. I came to weddings the long way around. Two decades in design taught me how much the right space and the smallest details can make people feel something, and weddings are where that matters most.

A wedding isn’t a checklist to get through. It’s one of the few days a couple’s whole story gets to show up in a room. So that’s how I work: I start with who you two actually are, then build the day around it, so it feels unmistakably like you and never like a template. And I carry the heavy parts (the logistics, the timeline, the little fires) so you can be fully present for your big day instead of managing it.

People call me the Couple’s Advocate, and I take it to heart. Your day matters to me as much as it does to you. I read every inquiry myself, and I would genuinely love to hear what you’re dreaming up.

“We are so incredibly grateful to Abagail for everything she did for us throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was organized, creative, and genuinely supportive. She helped us refine our ideas, kept us on track and accountable with wedding planning tasks, coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, and even advocated on our behalf to ensure they fully understood our vision and how we wanted the day to look and feel.
Our wedding day didn’t unfold perfectly — some bumps are bound to happen. The weather forced a few changes, and there were some day-of hiccups as our vendors enacted our vision — but this is where Elaborate Events really came through for us. Abagail and her assistant stayed calm, coordinated with our vendors, and handled every adjustment so we could stay present and enjoy our day without feeling any of the stress she was managing for us. So even with the shift in plans, everything worked out beautifully.”

“We just got married earlier this month and everything went so smoothly with no stress! After we booked our venue, Abagail was the first of our vendors we booked which was definitely the best decision we made! She helped us figure out all our other vendors including specific recommendations and places to look if we wanted to shop around. She was very flexible and gave us recommendations based on our preferences i.e. we wanted to do a food truck instead of traditional catering and she gave us links and info for food truck options. She helped keep us on track and we had monthly meetings with her, though the frequency of the meetings was generally up to us. Once we booked our vendors she handled the majority of the scheduling and did all of the day of coordination.”

“Abagail was the piece of our wedding that we didn’t know we needed. She guided us through the entire process, kept us on track, gave us some confidence when we were stressed, and was super communicative and helpful. She made sure to keep in close contact with all our vendors, and her experience helped us to shape our wedding to be smooth and meaningful. She even managed to pull off a surprise for us that we had wanted, but thought was too logistically challenging – not for Abagail! We’re so grateful that Abagail was there for every part of the wedding planning process! Planning our wedding would have been significantly more stressful and difficult without the expertise provided by Elaborate Events.”

SERVICES

VIP Planning

Prices starting at $9,500

This is for the couple who wants a true creative partner from the moment you say yes to the last song. I’m not just managing your wedding, I’m in it with you, translating your story into every detail, every vendor relationship, every decision. You won’t wonder what’s happening next. You won’t field calls from florists at 6 AM. You won’t carry the weight of making it all come together, because I will.

Full Planning

Prices starting at $7,200

You have a vision, maybe sharp, maybe still forming, and you need a partner who can take it from feeling to form. Full Planning is where most of my couples land, and it’s where I do my best work: getting to know your story, building a plan around it, and bringing it to life with intention. I handle the vendors, the timeline, the design direction, and the hundred decisions that pile up between now and your wedding day. You stay in the parts that feel good.

Partial Planning

Prices starting at $4,800

Maybe you’ve already started: you have a venue, a few vendors you love, and a Pinterest board that actually makes sense. But there are gaps, and the timeline is getting real. Partial Planning is for the couple who’s done the groundwork and needs a strategic partner to fill in the rest, keep everything on track, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks in the final months.
