“Lizzy is by far the best decision you will make (other than getting married obviously) I will tell anyone who listens: make this call I promise you won’t ever regret it! She is just incredible, she is warm and encouraging, creative and clever! Since the moment we met, she made us so excited about our wedding and we quickly became the most amazing friends! I would look forward to our weekly emails and chats! My absolute favorite person!
These Google reviews are how I first found Lizzy so let this review do the same for you!
Congrats and enjoy x”

“Lizzy is one of those very special people you meet right when you need her the most. Planning our wedding with Lizzy was the most amazing experience, her commitment throughout the whole process was so comforting. Lizzy truly goes above and beyond for her clients I can't recommend her enough. She's got all the industry secrets tucked in her back pocket which meant we came in under budget and with our sanity intact!”

- Renee & Lee, Martinborough

“Lizzy was truly a lifesaver for us in the lead-up, and on the day of our wedding. So much of our stress was relieved literally from the first zoom call several months out! She is so incredibly good at her job, and such a beautiful, calming presence. It made all the difference for us!! We couldn't recommend her more.”

- Em & Shaun Watters, Waikanae

“I absolutely love working with Lizzy! I no longer feel alone in this journey, and I leave our meetings able to make confident decisions. It has been such a breath of fresh air working with Lizzy, a huge weight has been lifted. I feel understood, heard, and supported. Lizzy thinks outside the box and is solution-focused. Thank you so much Lizzy for holding this space for me it has been a complete game changer!”

- Lisa G, Wedding Consultation, Auckland

“Where to start! My husband and I cannot thank Elizabeth enough. From the word go she was so enthusiastic about our wedding and nothing was too little or too big of an ask. Elizabeth coordinated the day for us so everything ran smoothly which we noticed as the day flew by without a hitch! 100% recommend a day-of coordinator to help figure out the logistics for your wedding so you and your family can enjoy without worrying about the flow of the day.”

- Skye & Myles Lawn. 2022, Okato

“I cannot even begin to express how amazing Lizzy was. Outside of my new husband, she was without a doubt the most important person at our wedding.
From our first meeting with her, we knew we needed her help. She instantly put our minds at ease, answering all our silly questions and bringing really cool ideas to the table that really made our big day special and memorable for both us and our guests.
Navigating and planning a wedding during COVID should be stressful, but Lizzy took all that stress away (which is incredible as we ended up postponing due to covid!). Lizzy also has the most amazing relationship with all the vendors in Taranaki, which meant the lead-up to the wedding was a breeze. Any concern that popped into my head, Lizzy already had sorted.
On the day of our actual wedding, Lizzy was so key to making sure everything ran smoothly. Instax camera ran out of batteries? Lizzy was there to fix it. Guests had a few too many? Lizzy kept an eye on them. Guest needing bug spray? Lizzy had them sorted. We had so many compliments from guests who were so impressed by Lizzy and I can guarantee our wedding would have been nowhere near as successful without her.
You might not think you need a wedding planner, but you need a Lizzy. Because of her, we were able to let go of all of our worries and live in the moment on our wedding day. Thank you Lizzy so much for helping us create a truly beautiful and memorable wedding day.”

- Isabel & Adam, May 2022, Goodin Country Gardens, Warea

“We first contacted Lizzy just over a year out from our wedding date. Not only was she incredibly quick to respond, but she was super friendly and immediately we knew we wanted her to plan our day as you could tell she just loves her job and I can confirm she’s also amazing at her job. We gave her an idea of what we wanted and throughout the entire planning process she stuck to it, elaborated on it and was open and transparent with us, which built great trust in our relationship. She was happy to say no, something I struggle with, and was eager for us to have the best wedding imaginable. The vendors she set us up with were all incredible, her fun, professional personality made everything that much more enjoyable. I didn’t have to stress about anything (other than covid), Lizzy had every single fine detail sorted and on the wedding day everything ran so beautifully. Half the time I had no idea what she was doing, but I knew she was flat out! Every single guest was so impressed with her and we would absolutely recommend Lizzy to every newly engaged couple to plan their dream day. We have no regrets, just a new member of the family.”

- Matt & Moni Wells, February 2022, Goodin Country Gardens, Warea

“Lizzy was absolutely incredible. We were very lucky to have her for our special day. She took away all the stress and made our day everything we had imagined. Lizzy was so easy to work with and trusted our vision from the beginning. We would absolutely recommend Lizzy! Thanks for making our wedding vision a reality. The Crocker's”

- Hannah & Scott Crocker, April 2022, St George’s By The Sea, Oakura

“We really appreciated the time and effort Lizzy put in, her enthusiasm, the way she worked with us on everything, the update video chats and emails, the financial organisation and budgeting. And most of all the hours put in to set up the venue and manage everything on the wedding day. It took all of the pressure off us and we were free to enjoy the event and socialise with our whanau. Lizzy found and managed suppliers, staff, musicians, a bouncy castle and even fire dancers! (Be careful what you say in a semi-joking way to a good planner, they will make it happen!). Elizabeth Jean Weddings are absolutely recommended, and of great value.”

- Rob & Alana, April 2021, Private Property, Oakura

“Lizzy was an absolute joy to work with from the beginning. Having a private venue in a pretty unique setting, the styling was very important to us and Lizzy absolutely hit the nail on the head. She went above and beyond all while keeping our values and thoughts at the centre of everything. Her ideas were refreshing and unique and nothing was too much to ask. In uncertain times, she was also a rock of support and someone to listen to and vent to and I cannot thank her for enough. Despite the absolutely torrential rain on the day and a change from plan A to plan C, we both felt at ease as we had full confidence that Lizzy was all over it. And she absolutely was. We had an absolute cracker of a day and Lizzy was a central part of making that happen. Honestly wish we could do it all over again as it was just the best day. To any newly engaged couples, I cannot recommend Lizzy enough. She’s got you.”

- Finlay & Sam, February 2022, Tariki, Taranaki

“Having Lizzy be a part of our special day not only to be there but also all the hard work she puts in behind the scenes to make sure everything is perfect ❤️ From late night/ early morning emails or texts from me questioning if I had done things properly or even just having her be there to confide in was super special. She made both myself and my husband extremely comfortable and she made damn sure I got down that aisle. We love & appreciate everything you did for our little family”.

- Chelsea & Taylor, November 2021, Waiongana Gardens, New Plymouth

I really do feel very lucky that I got to work with you. You were a dream the whole way through and just made everything so easy. We think you are amazing and a definite at every wedding! Thanks for putting up with my millions of emails and questions on the day. I felt so confident the whole day knowing you were there making sure things ran smoothly. You went above and beyond and nothing was ever an issue. You are so easy to get along with and I think that's why we clicked so well. I wish we could do it all over again!

- Dayna & Avon, February 2022, St Georges By The Sea, Oakura

“From the beginning of our planning process, Lizzy was incredible! She made us feel heard, gave us great suggestions and was always just an email or call away when we had any last minute questions or I just wanted feedback on an idea (and there were many ideas). On the day of our wedding, she did a phenomenal of job making my dreams come true - our set-up looked absolutely beautiful and captured the exact theme and feel that we were going for. I truly could not have made it through the day, or leading up to, without her!”

- Samara & Nathan, January 2022, Goodin Country Garden, Warea

“Where to start with the lovely Lizzy? We originally thought we would get someone to take over the reins in the lead up to the wedding and then coordinate the day to take the stress off. However, once we really turned our minds to the reality of planning a wedding from London we decided to go for Lizzy’s full planning service and BOY did we not regret it. We worked with Lizzy for the best part of 18 months and it was the best experience - she took the time to understand our preferences and priorities and turned our sketchy ideas into actual plans. She made the big decisions easy and took care of all the detail including liaising with all of our wonderful suppliers. We would 100% recommend Elizabeth Jean Weddings - thanks to Lizzy and the team!”

- Holly & Eoin, The Devon Hotel, New Plymouth

“Where to begin? Lizzy is a massive babe and totally helped take the stress off the month leading up to our wedding. on the day the team were nothing short of incredible and everything looked & worked out as planned! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend using Lizzy as your day-of coordinator (esp. if you have bubbas!), you will not be disappointed!!! again, thank you! ”

- Jane & Aled, Dekens Barn, Oakura

“I don’t even know where to start - my hubby and I engaged Lizzy to style, plan and co-ordinate the reception for our 10th Anniversary Vow Renewal. Working in the Industry myself - I had some seriously high expectations but Lizzy met and exceeded every single one. I had every faith in Lizzy and left the main decisions up to her - knowing that she would be brought together something perfect and TOTALLY “US!” Turning up to the venue - we were completely blown away! What Lizzy created, alongside some of our other Vendors - was nothing short of spectacular. All the personal, special touches, the creativity and the reassurance that everything would come together perfectly - Lizzy - we can NEVER thank you enough!”

- Louise & Gavin, TSB Show Place, New Plymouth

“Best wedding planner ever! Lizzy and her staff are so professional and do anything and everything to make sure your day runs smoothly and is everything you imagine it to be!”

“You are truly an amazing person! Thank you does not seem to be enough for what you did for us throughout the whole wedding process. You have talents that are immeasurable and are done with such love. Everything looked absolutely perfect, and we owe it all to you.”

- Alex & Daniel, Warrnambool, Australia

“There are no words to tell you how grateful we are. You played such a huge and crucial role in all things to do with our wedding - planning, setting up, endless phones calls and emails, fixing dresses and generally being a fantastic friend and advisor. We couldn't imagine anyone else doing the job that you did, we are forever grateful! Our wedding day was made happier and brighter by your presence. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

- Manda & Boofa, Warrnambool, Australia

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping us make our wedding day so special. You gave us so many tips and really made us feel special by making our finishing touches so individual. We had an amazing day and wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for making the day run so smoothly, our families loved your personality and the way you worked through everything.”

- Verena & Wyn, Private Property, New Plymouth

“Working with Lizzy was easy. She offered different vendors that would suit us and our personalities but also our budget. Lizzy was always quick to reply to my questions and would always keep me calm when the stress levels started to rise. When it came to décor she offered great simple ideas that were within our budget. Lizzy truly made wedding planning easy and non-stressful (I was really dreading planning). I recommend using Lizzy for her amazing ideas, contacts and calming approach. Thank you for everything you did to help make our day perfect!”

- Mr & Mrs Lewer, Showplace, New Plymouth

“Working with Lizzy was amazing. She has professionalism about her job, but this ease and chill factor about how she deals with vendors. So loving and supportive of the day I could see that her priority is the couple and making sure that they are having the best day. As a celebrant and MC, we worked in perfect synergy together and I would be so excited to work with her again if I get the opportunity. I HIGHLY recommend that if you work with her, your day will be memorable and magical for all the right reasons. Thank you Lizzy. You were INCREDIBLE!!!”
