“I cannot recommend Elle and James Co. enough. I knew they would be the perfect fit because I was so impressed by Alyssa’s style and vision based on her social media presence. Her own wedding was one of the most beautifully detailed weddings I have ever seen. When it came to our wedding day at our family home, we were rushed preparing some of the property due to bad weather a few days before. The morning of, I looked at Alyssa and said “I just need you to make it beautiful” and that’s exactly what she did. If you are looking for a wedding planner that is easy to talk to, has incredible style and a lot of experience, Alyssa is your girl.”

“Our dream wedding was realized when we made the decision to work with Elle and James Co. Little did we know our wedding day would be so much more than a copy/paste of all of the collected inspiration we found when coming up with our “wedding vision”. Our wedding was ours, personalized, intentional, unique, and brought to life in a way that really felt once in a lifetime.
Our guests noticed, and the sentiment shows through in our photos and video.”

“I cannot recommend Alyssa enough. I knew she would be a perfect fit because I was so impressed by her style and vision based on her social media pages. Her own wedding was one of the most beautifully detailed weddings I’ve ever seen! Alyssa was professional and always available to answer any questions She supplied us with checklists and confirmed all our vendors, taking that off our hands.

We booked Elle and James Co. for our Full Service Wedding and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. They were such a joy to work with throughout the entire planning process. When it came to design, Alyssa took my vision and made it a reality; it felt so custom and personal to us! I still remember walking into my venue and being emotional with how she transformed [the space] into exactly what I pictured. Logistically, our day ran perfectly and stress-free. I'm so grateful that we got to enjoy our day with loved ones and did not have to worry about everything coming together. We started out having no idea where to begin and thanks to Alyssa, our wedding turned out to be exactly what we envisioned.
BONNIE AND CHANCE
“We are so happy we met Alyssa and to have worked with her on everything wedding related from planning, budgeting, designing and bringing our vision to life, and coordinating it all on our wedding day. We found out about Elle and James Co. through Steve of Sinclair & Moore Events and I am so happy he recommended Alyssa. We worked with her for a little less than a year and I had nothing planned when we first met. She listened to what we wanted, what we envisioned our wedding day to feel like, and did a lot of research to find the perfect venue and vendors for us. I didn’t make it easy because I loved everything about weddings. However, I definitely have a style that I prefer and she was amazing at pinpointing all of the little details that I love and incorporated them into our design, giving us a truly custom wedding that fit the two of us as individuals and as a couple. Alyssa was great at managing timelines and communicating with our vendors and with us. Throughout the entire year, I was never stressed out at any point and trusted her expertise. It allowed us to focus on being in the moment on our wedding day. We are truly grateful to have met Alyssa and work with her on creating our dream wedding!”
ALLY AND JAKE
There is a notable element to the Elle and James Co. brand that is seen throughout their events and design style. Alyssa has a way of creating these luxurious and elegant weddings that also somehow feel like home. Her ability to plan and produce a high touch experience that is apparent in every detail while somehow maintaining a sense of authenticity and approachability is a unique talent.
Our wedding felt cozy and intimate but also lavish and opulent. Our guests were so impressed with our wedding weekend and also felt so much a part of our story— which was exactly what we envisioned. We still get complimented to this day, “That was the most beautiful and well put together event we’ve ever been to”. We chose Elle and James Co. because it was evident in our first discussion with Alyssa that not only is she well experienced in her career, she has amazing talent and is uniquely gifted and we are so grateful for choosing her and that she shared that gift with us.”
MADISON AND MICHAEL
“Every time we talked with Alyssa, I could see the wheels turn in her mind when we would tell her things about ourselves, our wedding, our families, etc. It was like she was recording those conversations and committing them to memory. She would bring things up later, tiny details, in such a thoughtful way of how to weave our stories into our celebration and how to include our loved ones along the way.”
MAYLISA AND CHRIS
“When looking at wedding planning services, Alyssa was the first and only planner we spoke with. We hit it off so well in our initial conversation, we never looked back! Alyssa owns Elle and James Co. with her wonderful husband, Miguel and the two of them are so lovely to work with. I showed Alyssa what we were hoping to see on our wedding day and it was like she created magic out of thin air. She curated the perfect mood board that transpired into the most beautiful day. The best part of working with Alyssa is that she knew exactly which vendors and ideas to bring to us. I never felt overwhelmed with choices because everything she showed us was tailored perfectly for us. It's evident Alyssa is an extremely talented wedding and event planner. Besides having excellent and refined taste, she is organized, detailed and thoughtful in her design approach and communication style. She is an excellent thought partner and will advocate for what you want. We loved working with her!”
ALEX AND TAYLOR
Elle and James Co. is amazing! Alyssa made our wedding dreams come true and put together such a beautiful weekend for us. She made us feel so special and paid attention to all the details. It was so helpful to have full trust in our wedding planner and alignment on our design vision. Alyssa took the lead, and I was able to take a step back and enjoy the year of engagement.”
TASIA AND JAMES
We worked with Elle and James Co. for over a year leading up to our wedding day and cannot recommend them enough. Alyssa was truly the best through every stage of wedding planning and through our event. She totally understood our vision and priorities, found incredible vendors for us to work with… and so much more. Alyssa removed every ounce of worry from us. I felt so great in the weeks before the big day – truly zero worries or nerves because I knew Alyssa would handle everything exactly the way I would want. The biggest thing we were impressed by were the vendors she recommended and managed. We had a very custom wedding, truly bespoke, with a large amount of vendors, multiple venues and dozens of people working on set up and staffing the event itself. Alyssa managed each of them with ease, flawlessly executing every second of our event. We honestly really miss working with her and wish we could have another wedding so we could work with her again!!
