Elise is a seasoned New England wedding planner known for her calm presence, refined aesthetic, and ability to transform a couple’s vision into an effortlessly elegant New England celebration. With over a decade of experience in the wedding and event industry, Elise brings a rare blend of creativity, precision, and warmth to every wedding she plans.
Her journey began in London in 2010, where she worked with prestigious venues and luxury caterers including the Royal Albert Hall, Rhubarb Food Design, Royal Society of Arts, and Harbour & Jones. During this time, she earned her Master’s Degree in Event Marketing Management and gained invaluable experience orchestrating high-end events for discerning, high-profile clients.
In 2015, Elise returned to her roots in coastal Maine—born and raised in Harpswell—where she has become a go-to wedding planner for New England couples. Whether planning oceanside ceremonies, weekend-long destination weddings, or intimate gatherings, Elise is known for her ability to deliver flawlessly organized, deeply personal events that truly reflect each couple’s story.
What sets Elise apart is her attention to detail and her love for the little moments—like the joy on a couple’s faces during their first dance, surrounded by friends and family. It’s the magic she felt on her own wedding day and strives to recreate for each and every client.
When she’s not planning weddings, Elise enjoys adventuring through New England and beyond with her husband, Grant, and their two young boys.
