As a "DIY" person, I never in a million years would have thought I needed a planner for my wedding... Until I had a chance meeting with Carrie & Diane of Tough of Elegance Events & Designs. They listened to all my thoughts and ideas and immediately had a plan on how to make my vision come alive. From sourcing the perfect vendors, to managing every single detail we could think of, these girls worked wonders! On the actual wedding day I was able to sit back, relax, and enjoy my wedding thanks to Jessica and Giselle. They flawlessly managed the day to ensure I was stress free and were there to handle any unexpected mishaps. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Thank you Touch of Elegance Events & Designs!

Carrie was amazing! We originally used them for invitations. After we met with them we instantly felt like they completely understood what we wanted for invitations. Then we started to talk about the wedding and hired her for partial planning. She helped us find all of our vendors and made sure the wedding went smoothly. There was so much we didn't think about until we met Carrie. We would defiantly use T of E Events again!

Our experience working with Carrie and her team were overall good, but I truly wanted it to blow my mind away from what I read about her and the reviews of her business. BUT, there is room for improvement. Her professionalism and punctuality were very consistent. We went with her Day-Of package. This was my second marriage, so I vowed to get the support I needed with Carrie and her team. I had some experience working in the industry in another state, so I knew what was expected! Here where she excelled -- organization, punctuality and value. She was kind, assertive when she needed to be, but because we had some hiccups {every wedding does} regarding vendors and going with Plan B for our wedding ceremony due to non-stop rain that day, I would've liked and appreciated more initiation with decisions and stepping up to the plate with several opportunities to do so. While she was organized and our day was beautiful, I found out later from my bridesmaids that they in fact did a lot and would've liked to have seen her step up, instead of what I thought Carrie and her team should've helped with solving and coming up with more of a director type approach. Supporting the bride and her vision!!!!! This comes with experience and I feel as though her business showcases this in the look and feel of her brick and morter building and her technological stuff, but lacked the true quality when it was in fact the day-of wedding day. Throughout our process with Carrie and her team, there was confusion at times regarding contracts and had heard from vendors they hadn't heard from her yet, plus on a few occasions me having to reach out to initiate contact and such, which isn't what a bride needs. I wish I had known ALL of this, as I would've appreciated more special moments with her and her team and to feel like she was ALWAYS there to help and highlight our special day! Also, we had several guests including my dear groom who mentioned Carrie's assistant looked and dressed very unprofessional, which in retrospect, I noticed this as well and it is in that attention to detail I think is needs more improvements along with a few other things. Wish her all the best, but was hoping for a stellar experience not a decent one for the investment.
