Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam September 2, 2023 at 9:12 pmMariam was hands down our most valuable vendor.
We worked with her for our dream wedding for about a year. She made the entire wedding planning process feel so smooth and enjoyable, which is no easy task. She took the time out to understand our vision and what we truly wanted and made sure to execute just that! She’s professional, personable, attentive, and very knowledgeable in her field. She is a jack of all trades and was very helpful in many different aspects of the wedding planning process ranging from helping pick photoshoot locations (as well as booking each one), helping narrow down catering options, and even helping in the design aspect of the wedding. The list goes on and on! If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will truly hold it down for you on your big day, look no further than Élanweddings!

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam July 17, 2023 at 4:14 pmIf you are currently on the fence about having a professional wedding planner then take it from a bride who was ALSO hesitant and a bit of a control freak… you NEED Mariam and you will NOT regret it!!!
Mariam works tirelessly behind the scenes months before your big days event start. She will listen to all your big & small needs and make them happen!
We had a tight schedule on our shendi day and Mariam made sure all the things that were important to us happened within our timeline. She kept in constant communication with all our vendors and tackled all issues as they came up without ever stressing out the bride & groom!
Mariam’s attention to detail is PHENOMENAL and unmatched! Here are some of the FEW little things Mariam went above & beyond to do that meant the world to me:
1. Mariam communicated with my closest bridesmaids to get my favorite snacks & water delivered to our hotel room so we won’t have to fret at the end of the night!
2. On the Valima day, I woke up with an unexpected fever, but Mariam stepped in and had already planned to get my meds to me at the venue on time!
3. On our Valima day entrance, I had a long dupatta train sweeping behind me and Mariam stepped in at the right time to fix it so it falls perfectly after we stepped down from the stairs (this meant a lot as you can see the train falling perfectly behind me in all the photos & videos!)
And so many more…
All our friends and family were ecstatic at how organized our events were and how smoothly everything went. Mariam was truly the reason behind our successful events!
100000/10 recommend Mariam and Élan Weddings for your big days!!!!

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam July 16, 2023 at 10:19 pmMariam was the best three month coordinator/planner we could have asked for and helped us execute our dream wedding with so much love and excellence!!
We found Élan Weddings via social media and knew we wanted Mariam as our 3 month coordinator immediately after our first call. From providing recommendations even before her official start date to being extremely organized with all of the little details before the wedding, we knew we could trust Mariam to help us have the most stress-free/fun weekend of our lives.
Many things out of our hands (i.e. weather) were not going our way, but the Élan Team made us feel confident about our Plan B and ensured our Plan B still felt like Plan A. With a storm coming down on our night 1 (outdoor) event, Mariam was up with both me and my (now) husband starting 5:30am that day to help us make the final call to transition to Plan B and helped us redesign a new layout for the back up venue within an hour. Not only that, she powered through with us the whole day (and weekend!) and hyped us for our festivities.
Mariam was able to establish great relationships with all my vendors ahead of the weekend which made the whole process that much better! I know I keep saying this, but everything was SO organized (even guests kept telling us that this was the most organized wedding they had attended).
The best part of it all was that Mariam was truly such a great energy and friend to be around all weekend. The stressful situations didn’t feel so stressful knowing she was handling it on the backend (and always with a smile). We couldn’t recommend Élan Weddings more!!

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam January 17, 2023 at 7:51 pmWhere do I even begin? Mariam is INCREDIBLE!!!! I could not thank Mariam enough.
I was introduced to Mariam through a mutual friend, and I was immediately impressed by Mariam after our first call. From the moment Mariam stepped in, everything was immediately taken care of. I hired Mariam for two events (Mehndi for 325 people and Shaadi for 550 people) and we had a lot of moving parts, but Mariam took care of everything seamlessly. With 200 out of town guests, multiple catering vendors, decor, DJ, entertainment teams, and a big Pakistani family, Mariam went above and beyond. Throughout the entire planning process, Mariam was responsive and her communication skills were extremely helpful! She dealt with any obstacle with ease, and made sure to relieve any stress. Mariam even flew to Dallas a few times for walkthroughs with the vendors to make sure everything went seamlessly prior to the event days!
Behind the scenes of planning my wedding, Mariam also helped my sisters coordinate a surprise performance by Mickey Singh. This was no easy task, especially since Mariam had to work BEHIND the scenes with my sisters, my DJ/entertainment team, the team for Mickey Singh AND the hotel to make sure everything went seamlessly AND kept a surprise — this was incredible. I still can’t believe this happened…..!! I had NO idea until Mickey Singh came out on stage.. even though I was a part of every single planning process for the wedding. So, this was crazy!
On the event days, Mariam was constantly checking in on me to make sure things were okay on my end WHILE making sure everything was going smoothly downstairs in the ballroom. EVERYTHING WAS SO PUNCTUAL AND TIMELY all thanks to Mariam. Everything went according to our timeline and Mariam made sure of that! After the wedding, we received so many compliments on how organized and coordinated everything was! All thanks to Mariam :)!
In addition to being the best coordinator ever, I can truly say Mariam cared for me like a friend on my big day! 🙂 Being a bride is stressful and full of mixed emotions, and Mariam’s presence truly helped me stay calm and excited throughout all of it!
I could not recommend Mariam and Elan Weddings enough. There is nothing I would change about my wedding, all thanks to everything going seamlessly thanks to Mariam!!! I AM SOOO THANKFUL!!!! 🙂
1000000/10 recommend Mariam for your big day!!!!! 🙂
Also, in addition to taking care of everything else, Mariam made sure to catch snippets of the behind the scenes that our photo/video team didn’t catch and I am so thankful for those photos and videos! 🙂
I LOVE ELAN WEDDINGS!!!!!

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam January 6, 2023 at 4:28 pmMariam went above and beyond coordinating my wedding and it definitely wouldn’t have been as seamlessly executed without her. She eased all my stress throughout the months leading up to the wedding and gave me a chance to truly take everything in and enjoy it.
As soon as she stepped into her role, she took over all communication with my vendors and created an extremely detailed timeline for both events. She hopped on weekly calls with me to check in and help with anything and everything from floor plans to my brothers’ emcee script. She even took two flights out to Dallas prior to my wedding to walk through both of my venues with my vendors, most of whom she already had great relationships with. During the actual events, she did everything from ensuring all the vendors arrived in a timely manner to making sure I was well fed.
All my friends and family said it was one of the most organized weddings they’ve been to and that’s all thanks to Mariam and her team. I could not recommend her more!

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam December 7, 2022 at 11:18 pmMariam was a godsend for me. Soon after we found the venue, she quickly lined up the vendors whom she had great relationships with. She knows local vendors, but she also has contacts and relationships with vendors in Dallas and Houston. She paid close attention to all the payment deadlines that were due and kept me informed about those in a timely manner.
As far as the layout of the ballroom, she was in constant communication with the decorator and myself to make sure the layout worked for our event.
She showed up to our event at 10:30 am even though our event didn’t start until 5:30pm which was very helpful
because she spent that time coordinating the photographer with the bride and groom and their families, and the HAMU vendors’ schedule that she came up with was flawless. The execution of the event down to the minutest detail was thought of and taken care of by her. She’s energetic, polite,
thoughtful and extremely capable at what she does.
She even fixed my makeup when i broke down into tears. She’s the best, and i can’t thank her enough, and i will only use her for my future events.

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam June 16, 2022 at 6:48 pmThere are not enough words I can say about how amazing Mariam is. She plans things 10 steps ahead and makes sure that you, as the bride, are well taken care of. She plans meetings with you and your vendors, and takes on all the communication yourself to make sure you have a very smooth day. She thinks of things that you wouldn’t even think of! Everyone from my event raved at how smooth she made it, and if any issues pops up, she takes care of it. Her and her team work very well and quick during the day of, as they are very friendly and professional. Mariam has amazing customer and vendor relations and has worked with a wide range of vendors, so you are getting a very established person! I definitely am hiring Mariam for the rest of my wedding events in the future. If you are to spend on anything for your wedding, make sure you get Mariam! It is 1000/10 worth it.

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam May 4, 2022 at 7:30 pmI highly recommend Mariam and her team for your big day! I am not a type A bride at all so having Mariam stay on top of my vendors, my husband, and myself was crucial. I retained her services two months before the wedding and she took care of everything so quickly! On the day of the wedding, her communication was excellent. She managed all the minor details that I may have overlooked. The best part of her services is how comfortable she made our families during this process. The fact that she was able to assist and answer my parents’ and vendors’ questions made it easier for me to enjoy this process. I truly want to thank Mariam and her team for making my dreams come true.

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam May 4, 2022 at 2:50 pmMariam and her team truly went above and beyond for my Mehndi. Anytime a bride asks me for advice or about my vendors I tell them if there’s any advice or any of my vendors you want to hire of mine, hire Elan Weddings to coordinate ALL of your events. To put this in perspective I had a more experienced planner for my reception and Mariam and her team hands down made me feel more at ease during my mehndi than at my reception and overall she and her team did a better job than people that have been in the wedding industry for 10+ years. Everyone that was in the wedding party including my husband could not stop talking about how amazing Mariam did with the coordination. My vendors were very complicated as they would not take the timeline seriously, they wouldn’t have a plan for the day of or in my case my DJ’s music stopped working. Mariam really made me feel like there was absolutely nothing that went wrong with my mehndi because she really just made any problem disappear with a snap of her finger (but really it was hard work on her and her team’s end of course). On top of being an amazing coordinator Mariam also has a lot of stories from her own events and advice to share with soon to be brides that I found very very helpful and relatable. Trust me when I say you do not need to look anywhere else for a planner. You will be lucky to have Elan Weddings plan your event.

Reviewed: Élan Weddings by Mariam May 4, 2022 at 1:34 pmI had the great pleasure of working with Elan Weddings for my wedding reception in Dallas. As I live in London, it was very difficult for my parents to find, coordinate, and plan with vendors on the event. That’s where Mariam comes in. She took over everything from my parents and me and made our lives so much easier on the day of! She also worked with some of our vendors to get us preferential rates. She met with us in person several times and was available to speak anytime over a call as well to plan out the whole evening. On the day of the reception, she was the first one there and facilitated all the vendor setup. Mariam ensured our whole evening went off without a hitch and my family and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help and support. Thank you so much Elan Weddings, HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!!
