“Heather and her team were amazing every step of the way. We took a pretty hands off approach to most of the finer details of our wedding. So we were so thrilled with everything that Heather came up and the final product was nothing short of amazing! She was easy to work with and was so incredibly helpful. The wedding day went off without a hitch and the two of us literally had nothing to worry about the entire day. Seriously, hire these people. You will not regret it!”

“Hiring Heather and the Elsilu team was the best decision I made in my wedding planning process. I'm a professional event planner myself, so I wanted to find the right fit for my wedding in Bay Harbor…Elsilu fit the bill perfectly. Their relationships with Northern Michigan vendors are second to none, making the planning process that much more seamless. I worked with their team over the course of 2.5 years while my wedding was pushed during COVID, and if I could get married again just to use this team, I most certainly would. They were not only a wonderful resource but also became my friends. Like family, truly…My experience with Heather in particular was outstanding. But once I was introduced to the rest of the Elsilu team who would help support my wedding day, I was equally impressed. They ALL have your very best interest and will work tirelessly to make sure you're happy. To this day I receive compliments from my bridesmaids on what a relaxed, stress free day my wedding was - and I attribute that to the professionalism, organization and hard work of the Elsilu team. Best part, I felt the same way. My wedding day was one of the most relaxing, enjoyable days of my life and I'm forever grateful for their partnership. If I could give them 6 stars I would.”

“We originally didn't hire a wedding planner, but after postponing a year, we needed help. In hindsight, we should have done it MUCH sooner (if you are on the fence, do it)! :) Hiring professional wedding planners was one of the best decisions we made…because of Elsilu and Cherell, literally not one thing went wrong (and if it did, they fixed it so quickly I had no idea). This team of women is so supportive and good at their jobs! We were so lucky to have them in our corner, finding solutions to big problems like needing a backup venue and flawlessly executing the little things like a Champagne Wall and Photo Backdrop of our Polaroid Guest Book. Thank you to this amazing team!!”

“Heather and team were simply incredible and I couldn’t imagine planning our wedding without her. She made the process so easy and simple and to be honest was a lot of fun to work with. I HIGHLY recommend using Heather for your big day.”

“Elsilu is the event planner that you will wish you had if you don't! This team works like a well oiled machine. They know their product, what they can do, where and how to get it. They have wonderful ideas and are very good at executing them. I had a very large destination wedding weekend of events with many moving parts. Julie and Heather took charge and had everything accounted for and executed perfectly. There wasn't one thing I felt I wished I had done or forgot to do because these girls were on it! They are well loved by the local businesses which made planning so fun. My wish for all you future brides and mother of brides is to be able to find your team to work with and enjoy every moment of this process! If you are planning a Michigan wedding... do yourself a favor and call ELSILU!!”
