Wedding & Event Management

Maine & New Hampshire Wedding Planner

At Events by Elise, we take pride working with our Maine and New Hampshire Wedding Clients. Our Wedding and Event Management Package is our most popular package, and for good reason! 

This package is perfect for the couple who knows exactly how you want your wedding to look, and enjoy working with the vendors to make that happen. Or, alternatively, you are working with a professional wedding designer already, who specializes in creating the wedding of your dreams esthetically. We are experts in working with you or your designer in sourcing the best vendors, contract negotiation and budget management to make sure you have the best team at your side and stay within your pre-determined budget.

2025 Wedding Band Management Review

What's Included?

From your very first inquiry, Elise will personally connect with you to schedule a complimentary consultation. During this conversation, and every one that follows, she’ll be taking thoughtful notes to understand your personalities, priorities, and the overall look and feeling you want your wedding to evoke. With this foundation, Elise curates a tailored list of vendors who align seamlessly with your vision, style, and logistical needs.

Once your contract is in place, Elise gets to work recommending the right professionals for your team. If you haven’t established a budget yet, don’t worry, she’ll help you outline one that supports your goals while keeping everything realistic and refined.

Within the Event Management Package, you (or your designer, if you’ve hired one) will collaborate directly with your creative vendors -florists, stationery designers, rental companies, and more, to bring your mood boards and Pinterest dreams to life. Elise remains involved throughout, offering invaluable logistical guidance, vendor communication support, and smart, experience-driven recommendations to keep everything on track and beautifully cohesive.

Elise will oversee every logistical detail to ensure your wedding day not only reflects your vision but runs flawlessly from start to finish. From securing and reviewing vendor contracts with precision to managing timelines and communication, she’ll ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

In the weeks leading up to your celebration and on the day itself, Elise and her trusted team (the size of which is tailored to your venue, layout, and guest count) will be fully hands-on. They’ll be onsite for rental deliveries, the ceremony rehearsal, the first vendor arrival, and they’ll be the very last to leave, ensuring everything is wrapped up and cleared out seamlessly.

Your only job? To soak in every moment. From the time you wake up to the last dance and beyond, you’ll be free to enjoy your day surrounded by the people you love, knowing every behind-the-scenes detail is in the best of hands.
