If you are able to work with Elaine McCann I would highly recommend her. To say that she is a professional and a joy to work with is a *big* understatement. Because Elaine has genuine heart for all her couples, the quality and care she gives goes deep. For us, she made us feel comfortable despite the challenges in the pandemic and calmly helped us plan through our long list of items that reflected our style and our families. Her organizational skills were always ten steps ahead and every concern we had was addressed quickly with great advice. My husband and I are very thankful we were under her care!

Elaine McCann is amazing! I am not a party planner, it is not something I enjoy nor is it something I'm good at, so planning a wedding was a very daunting task for me. Once I booked the vendors, Elaine coordinated with them and helped me plan my special day. When family and vendors had questions, instead of stressing me out, Elaine funneled the questions through her, which was a HUGE help. I know some friends and family can become a rowdy bunch, but she handled them like a pro on the day of. There were also a few wildcards, but Elaine was very flexible and eased my stress tenfold. The result was a truly magical day.

Elaine was my wedding planner & day-of coordinator for my destination
wedding in Harmony, CA (Central Coast). I feel my wedding required a lot
more attention by the coordinator than other weddings, as I had most things customized/planned by friends or myself, had only few professional vendors, plus I was living 200+ miles away (I’m in the Bay Area). Elaine not only took so much stress off me, she also helped me feel confident that our special day will be the most beautiful and memorable one. She is excellent at communication and extremely talented at collecting information and organize them into a smooth program that makes sense. With her broad range of wedding experience, she was able to provide me with suggestions when I asked her for advice. Her empathetic personality made me feel so much more at ease talking and relying on her emotionally during the whirlwind of wedding planning. Most importantly, she made sure everything fell into place on the day of the wedding. She knows exactly where might not fall into place and will quickly came up with a plan B, C, and more under her sleeves. I would recommend Elaine for any wedding/event planning in a heartbeat.

One of the best decisions we made while planning for our wedding, was to
work with Elaine. I loved that Elaine got to know us as a couple and reflected
the heart of our relationship in our event. She was helpful every step of the
way- from setting priorities, finding outstanding vendors, producing a venue layout, decorating, communicating with the DJ/staff… (endless tasks... I mean, wow!) I do not think I realized how much care she put into every aspect of our wedding until the day of! I completely forgot about various aspects of the event, and she had it all handled so that we could enjoy the moment. Elaine has become a wonderful friend of ours since then and has invested in our relationship- even beyond our wedding. I was seriously disheartened by the commercialization of the wedding industry. I love for an event to feel authentic and not rehearsed or saccharine. Elaine was sensitive to the traditions we wanted to keep and those we wanted to change/leave out. It was a joy working with her because it really felt like she got to know our individual wishes. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Elaine as a planner/coordinator for your next event.
