What People Are Saying
“I could never thank Riley and her team enough for the impact they had on our wedding day! Riley was truly the reason my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. From start to finish, she handled every detail with absolute perfection, allowing me (and especially my mom) to feel completely stress free on such an important day. Her organization, professionalism, and calm presence made everything run seamlessly, and I never once had to worry about logistics. Riley went above and beyond to bring my vision to life, and I am endlessly grateful for her dedication and care. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator or planner who genuinely treats your wedding like it’s her own, Riley is the one. I cannot recommend her enough.”
Rose Adams“Hiring Sam as my wedding planner was one of the easiest and best decisions I made. I used to be a full-time wedding planner myself, so once I got engaged, I knew exactly who could get the job done (and to my standards) from being in the industry. Sam went above and beyond anything that was required based on the package I chose.
I genuinely always looked forward to our planning and check-in calls. It never felt like a task on my to-do list, but felt like two girls chatting, catching up, and having the best time while making real progress. She calmed every concern I had, was incredibly flexible, and communicated so clearly and often, especially when we were dealing with some iffy weather and had to pivot plans. I never once felt out of the loop.
Sam was there for every detail and design question and offered such thoughtful, experienced advice that I truly trusted. Because of her presence and professionalism, I was able to be completely calm and present on my wedding day and that is truly such a gift.
All of the girls at EABD are incredible, and Riley has built an amazing team. You are truly in the best hands with them. I cannot recommend Sam and EABD enough..”

“We had a wonderful experience planning and designing our wedding with Riley of Elegant Affairs by Design. She had coordinated my brother's wedding in 2022 and it was an easy decision to hire her for my wedding after being a part of his wedding.
We hired EABD early in our planning process and their support and guidance throughout the entire planning process was amazing! Riley kept us on track each month with detailed to-do's and support to ensure the process was fun and enjoyable and not stressful! Her expertise was invaluable throughout the many decisions that had to be made.
Riley is extremely professional, responsive and wonderful to work with. Having Riley's support, particularly in the last two months prior to our wedding was so amazing. Her communication with vendors and coordination of all the small details made us feel very calm leading up to the big day! I can't imagine having done this without her support! The entire EABD team that helped us the day of was amazing as well and we are so thankful to have worked with all of them! We highly recommend Riley and the entire EABD team!!”
