OUR REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

Elysian was truly the BEST choice we made during our wedding planning process! From the moment we met (via FaceTime) Madison saw our vision and executed down to every last detail. Being an out of state bride, she was available to us for planning questions + help from the moment we signed her. Her packages are affordable and customizable which is so helpful for brides. I will forever be thankful we found her because she made our wedding day a complete DREAM come true. From reviewing vendor contracts + all of the communication leading up to wedding day with vendors, to being a built in best friend and wedding stylist on our big day - we are thankful beyond all the words for Elysian! Don’t sleep on this DREAM TEAM - I give them the highest ranking and firmly believe that Elysian is THE BEST day of coordinator/stylist/decor choice out there!

I hired Dawn only a few weeks before my wedding for setup and take down at our wedding. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. She took all my decorations and made my vision come to life. She is one of the sweetest humans and just made my wedding experience so easy. My whole wedding party even commented on how professional and sweet she is. I knew she was going to set up everything perfectly and I didn’t have to worry about everything getting taken down at the end. Everything at the end was all organized and put back into the boxes, so it was super easy to just load everything into the car. 

I am so grateful to have hired Dawn! I would have regretted not having hired her for our wedding! She goes above and beyond!

I hired Dawn as my DOC and it was truly the best decision I could have made! From the moment I got into contact with her she was eager to help me out and make sure our special day was as stress free as possible! She was so responsive to any and all questions we had. When our special day came, she handled everything herself and if anything went wrong I didn’t know because she did such a great job of handling everything on her own! We also got Maddy to make us a beautiful mirror and she did an amazing job at bringing our vision to life. I highly recommend Elysian if you’re looking for a stress free day! Love these girls!

There is nothing better than becoming friends with your wedding planner. Maddy was so relatable, exciting, and knowledgeable. She enhanced our wedding planning experience and made the overwhelming times feel doable. She is so creative, and with a few words, she was able to make our vision a reality. Just when wedding planning started to feel like a chore, hiring Maddy made it a fun experience! I wish we could relive that day for many reasons, one of those is working with Maddy again!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had Dawn as my day-of coordinator for my wedding. She ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Dawn was a true professional, always calm and organized, which made me feel at ease throughout the entire day. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, from coordinating with vendors to managing the timeline. It was incredibly reassuring to know that Dawn had everything under control, allowing me to fully enjoy my wedding day without any worries. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and they made sure that every aspect of the day was just as we had envisioned. From the setup of the ceremony and reception venues to the transitions between different parts of the day, everything was seamless. Dawn was friendly, approachable, and responsive throughout the planning process, always ready to answer any questions or address any concerns. She truly understood our vision and helped turn it into a reality. She took the stress out of the day and allowed us to focus on creating beautiful memories. I am so thankful for their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to making our wedding day unforgettable.

Working with Maddy was one of the best decisions I made during the wedding planning process! From the start, she was there to help me break down what needed to be done and she kept me on track with planning. Her attention to detail, creative and imaginative eye, and ability to listen and then transform my dreams into reality were top-notch. I do not think our wedding day would have gone as smoothly without her! Need a safety pin? Maddy’s got one! Drink is a little low? There’s one on the way! Nervous something may go wrong? Maddy will be there with the reassurance it will all go right! If you are on the fence or are looking for a wedding planner, Elysian is the way to go!

I met Maddy during a Rocky Mountain Bride photoshoot in 2021 and was intrigued when she mentioned starting her own wedding planning business. As a recently engaged bride, I trusted her expertise and hired her as our day-of coordinator and to create custom signage and creative touches for our wedding. Maddy turned the planning process into a fun collaboration, like planning the ultimate party with a friend who’s an expert in epic celebrations. She had full creative freedom with signs, bridesmaid favors, and decor placement—and she absolutely delivered! Her custom antique mirror signage, from seating charts to ceremony details, added a magical, personalized touch that elevated our wedding. If you’re looking for a planner who’s creative, responsive, and passionate about making your wedding unforgettable, Maddy is the one!

When picking a day of coordinator and decorator for our wedding we wanted to ensure that the individual was someone who was very organized, creative, and especially good at communicating. Maddy fit our criteria to a tee, plus she is such a sweetheart and breeze to work with! She ensured from the start we felt heard, helped collaborate and answer a million different questions, as well as made the day run very smoothly from start to finish. We would highly recommend her for helping coordinate your special day and also decor! Her art was simple and beautifully executed. Thank you again Maddy for all your kindness and hard work to make our day so special.

Maddy was a breath of fresh air throughout the wedding planning process. My husband and I knew we wanted a destination wedding but we had no clue what went into planning one or where to even begin. Maddy was there for us every step of the way, but most of all she made the day of our wedding STRESS FREE and if you are currently in the wedding planning process you know that’s hard to come by. On our wedding day, my husband and I got to sit back, hang out with our friends/family, and watch the wedding of our dreams come to life. Maddy helped with coordination, decoration, cake cutting, being a hype queen, and so much in between. There is absolutely no way we would've been able to do our wedding without her!

A wedding planner wears so many hats but Maddy truly makes the job look effortless. I would recommend her and her team over and over again if I could! Thank you for making the intimate wedding of our dreams come to life

Hiring Maddy and the Elysian team was the best decision I made as a bride! Maddy made me feel like her top priority, providing invaluable decor, coordination, guidance, and support. She was organized, knowledgeable, and always had answers—or found them quickly. Thanks to her, the week leading up to my wedding was stress-free, and I trusted her completely with last-minute decisions. Maddy had every vendor coordinated and everything ready well before the ceremony. The day ran flawlessly—on time, smooth, and perfectly executed. My family and bridal party were able to relax and enjoy because of her expertise. Maddy and Dawn were so invested in making our day special, capturing candid moments, and even getting emotional as I walked down the aisle. Their care and dedication made our wedding a magical, unforgettable experience.

My husband and I hired Dawn to help us plan our wedding in the Vail Valley and we cannot recommend her enough. While our wedding was in CO, we do not live in CO and were only about 7 months away from our wedding day with no venue when we hired her. She helped us nail down a beautiful reception venue within our budget. She provided many fantastic vendor options, and went above and beyond when some of the vendors were booked up and we needed more choices. She even traveled out on multiple occasions to the Vail Valley for us at no travel charge. Dawn has a calm, confident demeanor, and made no task seem too daunting, which was incredibly helpful in keeping me as a bride calm and productive. We highly recommend Elysian!

We cannot speak highly enough of Dawn and Elysian Wedding Co! Maddy graciously offered to create and design signs for our wedding, and they turned out absolutely stunning. Dawn's expertise and attention to detail ensured that our special day ran seamlessly, allowing us and our families to enjoy every moment of our wedding.Dawn took the time to truly grasp our vision, thought of every little detail possible, and was super responsive to emails and text. Her organizational skills are unmatched, and her warm and supportive demeanor made her an absolute joy to work with! Throughout the night, Dawn checked in with us regularly, ensuring we had everything we needed. She went above and beyond, even stepping in to help care for one of the bridesmaids' babies when their sitter fell through, allowing us to fully enjoy the dance floor. Dawn's flexibility, kindness, and exceptional service truly made our wedding day unforgettable and we can not recommend her and Elysian enough!

Andrew and I got married in Salida, CO and we could not have done it without Maddy and Elysian! From the moment we first reached out, Maddy was exceptionally responsive. We met multiple times in-person, and each time we felt more at ease that our special event was in great hands. Maddy was also the best sounding board for design decisions leading up to the event! Both Maddy and Dawn were exceptionally hard workers, navigating different ceremony and reception venues without a hitch. Andrew and I were able to stay low stress as we focused on the important things like marrying each other and spending time with our loved ones. To any bride debating if it’s worth it to hire a wedding planner, it definitely is. And if you choose Maddy, Dawn and team at Elysian, your wedding will be unforgettable.
