I was very pleased with Vanessa and Felicia! They did a wonderful job with my July 2011 wedding reception. They were professional, prompt, and put all my wedding stress at ease! I appreciated them contacting me in a timely manner and was very pleased with the results of their hard work! They even saved the day when our photographer temporarily lost his $1000 lens by finding it at the restaurant and promptly giving it to a friend of the family when my husband and I had already left the reception for the night! I highly recommend Elegant Beginnings!

Elegant Beginnings is a top notch wedding planning company that I would recommend to any and everyone! They did more than what was asked of them to make my day exactly what I envisioned!! They managed to keep everything within budget and were flexible when necessary. Every single person in the company was a pleasure to work with. They even helped plan my rehearsal dinner, which wasn't in the contract! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful the event was and I can honestly say, I couldn't have done it without Vanessa and her crew.

Elegant Beginnings was just a pleasure to work with. I loved everything about them and will recommend them to anyone. The staff was very knowledgeable and organized. They are able to help with all aspects of wedding planning. Their talented team was even able to help me with my programs. Ms. Vanessa was able to recommend several wonderful vendors to me. They were in constant contact with me to make sure everything went perfectly. The ideas her staff came up with really added that special touch to my wedding. The fine details are what can really take a wedding to the next level and they were able to do that. They were in constant contact with my vendors which was a big stress reliever for me. Weddings are very stressful. I am so happy that I had Ms. Vanessa and her team to make my wedding run smoothly and help to take the stress off me. My wedding day went so well. Their organized staff made sure that everything stayed on schedule. All I had to worry about was being a beautiful bride. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

There is so much that I can say about Elegant Beginnings. They truely made my dream wedding become a reality. The staff was very professional. They really cared about my needs. Ms. Vanessa and her staff worked very hard and diligently to make my wedding a success. I didn't have very much time to plan and prepare for my wedding, but with Elegant Beginnings, I didn't have to worry about anything. They came right in, put there plans into action, so that I didn't have to work too hard. Their services are very affordable. With Ms. Vanessa and her staff around, all I had to do was be a beautiful bride. :-) Elegant Beginnings services are so exceptional, that they came all the way to Newport News Va, to plan my wedding. Ms. Vanessa and her staff made my family and friends feel very comfortable and at ease. My famliy and friends who attended my wedding say that my wedding was one of the best weddings that they have ever been to. Everytime I think about my wedding, I can't stop smiling. I know that this joy that I feel inside is all because of the wonderful services of Elegant Beginnings. I know that some people say that there is no such thing as a perfect wedding, but with the help of Elegant Beginnings, mine was perfect and memorable. I would recommend their services to anyone.

Elegant Beginnings provided the planning for my wedding. The staff are professional and thorough. Vanessa took me through a series of questions (many of which I had not thought about myself), in order to develop a itinerary for herself, the D.J., Caterer, Florist and Baker. She stayed in touch with me week-by-week before the event, and made sure that I understood how to work within my budget (which she helped me develop). She recommended great vendors, all of whom did an excellent job. She ensured that everything went smoothly the day of the event, and everything was so well planned that I was not worried or stressed on my wedding day! The day of the event, her staff was there for both the ceremony and the reception. They were well-prepared for everything, including unexpected suprises. They even had a kit, including pins and sewing materials (among other things) that was handy when I had a problem with my dress. They made sure that everyone knew where they were supposed to be, and when. They also made sure that my wedding and reception reflected my desires, and both events were absolutely more than I could have ever expected. Elegant is the perfect word to describe it. I would recommend Elegant Beginnings to any bride (or member of the wedding party). They are trustworthy, reliable, experienced and friendly. I will never forget my special day, and I know that I owe a debt of gratitude to Elegant Beginnings.

As the Mother of the Bride, having Vanessa to coordinate and organize our cerremony and reception was the best present I could have ever given myself. She was wonderful -- extremely professional, very flexible and accommodating, and lots of fun to work with. I was able to sit back and actually enjoy the entire day knowing that all the details were being taken care of!! Would highly recommend her services!!
