- Michelle Herman

There are not enough amazing things to say about Ella. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure our event was perfect. She was flexible, constantly available and calm during the inevitable stresses of planning a large birthday party while working. We did not worry once on the day of the event because we knew she was on top of everything. She listened to our vision, but also provided incredibly useful advice and guidance. She anticipated the unexpected, paid attention to every single detail and is incredible at organizing multiple vendors. She was extremely responsive and detail oriented. She has excellent recommendations for vendors as well which was very helpful! She was so easy to work with through out the entire process and is a true professional and just a really lovely person in general! Ella has a very creative and open mindset, she is passionate about what she does and we would recommend her to anyone needing an event planner and decorator. She certainly made our event a beautiful one to remember!
