Carrie and her team at Touch of Elegance are a force to be reckoned with - talented, prompt, calm, and professional. I cannot begin to share all of the ways in which Carrie improved (and saved) our wedding. I recommend her services to anyone who is considering hiring a day-of-coordinator for their wedding. We were married on June 8th, 2019 at the Belle Isle Boat House. The venue is unique and beautiful, but difficult in many ways - you have to bring in everything from tables and chairs to decor. We booked the venue before hiring Carrie, so on our second visit to the venue, we began to get very nervous about our ability to pull off the wedding ... but then we met Carrie. She had solutions to ALL of our questions and concerns. Moreover, even though we only hired her as a day-of-coordinator, she gave us lots of tips during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, the outside of the Boat House flooded. That's right, flooded. AND the elevator was broken. But once again, Carrie and her team led the charge to save the wedding. We sent all of the groomsmen to be her minions and she put them to work. She re-jigged the ceremony layout, got as much of the decor set-up as possible, and honestly saved our wedding. Our friends and family are still talking about how awesome our wedding was - thank you in part to Carrie and Touch of Elegance. More...

D.C. is lucky to have Carrie in the area. She is so reliable and helpful that I don't know how else I could've done it without her. She went above and beyond and exceeded all my expectations. She's calm and makes you feel like everything is going to be okay- and isn't that the best quality in a coordinator? More...

WOW. It's hard to imagine our wedding day without Carrie and her team. Their organization and experience helped our day go off with out a hitch.
Carrie is so calm, kind and helpful. She dealt with issues large and small that we experienced. She used many of the vendors that they recommended and they were all wonderful. If I could go back in time and change one thing, I would have had her plan the entire wedding! We used the day of coordination service and it was hands down the best money we spent. The planning software she gave us to use was crucial to our planning. We used it to make seating arrangement and manage RSVPs.
Carrie and her team made our wedding a huge success!

Carrie was so nice to work with through the whole process of our day of coordination we hired her team for. Originally we were told we would have two members for our wedding but ended up with one. We did have a smaller wedding but I do think we could have used two helpers since set-up/tear-down was kind of a lot of work. We were told we would have someone to set-up and that they would take care of it. In the end my family ended up doing the set-up since they were not prepared so the volume of stuff I had and that is disappointing. I didn’t really want my family to do any work that day, hence why we hired a day of coordinator. As far as keeping us on schedule and keeping things organized, good work! Things went smoothly as it could. More...

I hired Touch of Elegance to help with my wedding after the all my vendors cancelled on me just a few months before my wedding. It is without a doubt, that my wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without Touch of Elegance. They brought me ease of mind, comfort and made my wedding day a success. I don't know if what I would have done without them. They were always responsive, handled everything I needed and on my wedding day, they provided extra help (that I did not ask for and they did not charge me for) to ensure everything went smoothly on my day. This team of wedding planners are exceptional and professional. The only thing I regret about Touch of Elegance is not hiring them sooner. They are truly and one of kind team. More...

We hired Touch of Elegance as day-of coordinators for our wedding this past weekend, and they were absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Carrie, the owner, is gracious and responsive, and quickly connected me with my wonderful coordinator Ayman (who is an absolute star and put up with my indecision, wildly busy schedule, and last-minute changes). In addition to confirming details with my vendors and creating a detailed timeline for the wedding day, Ayman and her assistant beautifully organized our rehearsal and ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish on the day of the wedding. Everything went off perfectly, and it was so wonderful not having to worry about the details (big and small!) and having someone to act as a point of contact for vendors, direct guest traffic, manage issues as they arose and keep all of us on schedule. We couldn't be happier, nor could we recommend Touch of Elegance more highly. More...

I worked with Carrie and her mother for from start to finish with my wedding. They were both excellent! They helped me with pretty much every aspect of the wedding planning ( finding venders, negotiating prices, taste testing. ) Carrie even let me borrow some of her fathers books for centerpieces with no charge. They also had a gentleman helping my husband and his grooms men get ready. They were an amazing team the 3 of them. The day of the wedding all three of them were absolute life savers. They went above and beyond to insure our wedding went as best as possible. I am so grateful to have had them though our wedding journey. The only negative thing i can say is its a little hard to get ahold of Carrie and sometimes I had to send more then one message to get a response which was a little stressful but she made sure everything was taken care of before the wedding. Other then that i have nothing but good things to say about her and their company. We will defiantly recommend her to anyone! More...

I am so thankful for the day that I contacted Carrie and Touch of Elegance. I hired them for "month of" wedding planning and I received the highest level of service.
Carrie is fantastic and has the perfect temperament for this super important task. She's always pleasant and calm. For the couple of issues that I had, she was able to fashion a solution right away and she never seemed to break a sweat.
When my hired florist pulled a disappearing act less than 6 weeks away from my wedding date, Carrie came through with a vendor who exceeded my expectations on short notice and thankfully within my budget. That was worth the fee by itself. On my wedding day, I felt calm and confident that the details would be handled and I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I just thoroughly enjoyed the magic of the day.
I highly recommend Touch of Elegance wedding planning services. Thank you so much for helping me organize my day so that everything was beautiful and stress-free. 5+ Stars!

Thanks Carrie. I see you got some haters on here. I know you provide excellent services. You have done so many of my friends weddings that I can't count them all. Just from reading the negative reviews on this page today I can tell these are individuals trying to give you a bad reputation. Clearly they did not listen to you when you offered them the right services. Every time someone goes with their own vendors or hire their friends to do the job professionals are trained for, you always end up putting these fires out. I say accept the good with the bad, I will always continue to send my friends and colleagues to you for wedding and event planning advice. Thanks and Love! More...

My husband and I got married this past May in Detroit, and within the last 2 months panicked and needed help and reassurance to bring it all together. I came across Touch of Elegance Events & Designs on The Knot and they came so highly reviewed. Let me tell you, Diane and Taylor were two of the nicest most genuine people to work with. They helped me with every last detail from setting my day-of timeline, confirming and coordinating all the vendors with my venue, to set up and tear down before and after the wedding, and so much in between. They cared for me and my husband as if we were their own family, and they did a fantastic job! They ensured the night ran smoothly, helped all details fall into place, and even made sure I ate my dinner LOL! But really, they were incredible to work with and are amazing at what they do. You can tell they both have great experience coordinating weddings. They returned all emails/calls/texts at any time of the day promptly. Also, for everything they do, very affordable. I would highly recommend! Thank you again, Diane and Taylor! More...

It didn't seem overwhelming at first because I didn't know exactly what was needed. All of the small detailed things were all taken care of day after day each time. Even though I was looking to spend as much as we did, it was still worth EVERY penny. I would definitely recommend TOE for the service, availability, professionalism (there were so many times I know I drove her crazy) and time spent. But I'd really have to say I'm glad I hired TOE on this special day. More...

Other than picking the right spouse, the best decision you can make for your wedding day is hiring Carrie and team. I can't stop talking about how helpful and organized Carrie was and how wonderful it was to know my wedding day was handled.
I didn't think twice about setup, or anything on the day of and I can't thank her enough for everything she did.
We have recommended her to multiple people already, but seriously-- if you are at all debating--- JUST HIRE HER. She will make your life so much easier and take the stress of your special day away. Carrie and her team are truly rockstars and I'm so happy we found them for our wedding!

A touch of elegance and Carrie were fantastic. They were well worth the money just for the day of coordination and work but she also met with me several times, worked with my other vendors and helped keep me on track. Our wedding day was perfect in every sense of the word and most of that was because of her team. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially in Detroit. She is knowledgeable, resourceful, well connected and cares about quality and details. Thank you Carrie and Co! More...

Hiring Touch of Elegance for our day-of-wedding coordination was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. Carrie offered so many creative ideas that I did not think of, and helped me save a lot of money. Our day of coordinator ended up being Jasmine, and she was amazing! She coordinated the day-of setup flawlessly with a multitude of vendors, and her organizational skills blew us away. At no point during our wedding day did we have to worry about any details - we knew Jasmine had it covered. We even ran out of glasses during the reception and Jasmine handled it without us knowing. I heard from multiple guests about how impressed they were with her. I cannot thank Jasmine and Carrie enough for their help making our big day stress free! Worth every penny! More...

My mother made me get a wedding planner. Thank god I did! Carrie and Diane really helped me find the perfect location, Grosse Pointe War Memorial. I wasn't stressed out at all. Im actually some what of a demanding person atleast thats what my mom says and they truly met all of my expectations. Carrie dealt with me calling 3 or 4 times a week because I was so nervous about making a decision. Diane worked with my mom to make my design a reality. They also helped me with all of my floral arrangemnts and photobooth. When my officiant last minute cancelled on me 2 weeks before the wedding I used Gail Taylor through them and he was amazing! My whole wedidng experience was truly amazing and i could not have done it with out my family and Carrie. Thank you so so mcuh. More...

My wife & I both agree that we are SO grateful that Carrie worked with us we would've been SO lost without her! She is by far THE most patient person I know cause I have no idea how she handles the kinds of stress weddings comes with.
Now let's take it to our rehearsal date : We had a VERY large bridal party (10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen) and handled the rehearsal very professionally, even when the boys wanted to get loud and crazy, she surely put them in their place. I'm glad she did that, cause it would've been even worse if i had to take matters into my own hands with them. Her and her staff set up our reception venue and handled everything perfectly throughout our program.
Thank you Carrie for all that you and your staff has done to make our wedding dreams come true, STRESS FREE! I highly recommend her to anyone, because she really knows what she's doing & you can really see that she absolutely loves what she does!

Do yourself (and bridal party) a favor and book the Day Of Planning package. It was so worth the price for us. I knew that this was the best thing I could do for myself, mom, MOH, and husband by the end of our first meeting. ..little did I know then just how far this team would go for me. Carrie is beyond qualified to handle any event, I am absolutely positive of this. Even when I failed to communicate changes, when I was absent or preoccupied with something else, she had the ability to carry out my vision. I wish I knew just how much I could trust her to complete my vision back then....I would have enjoyed a lot more sleep! But take it from me, not really a bride-zilla but a definite worry-wart, let Carrie throw you the party of your dreams! Just trust her. She knows what she is doing and you will not be disappointed. If any one person has the magic ability to be multiple places at once and 5 steps ahead of you the entire month before your wedding and up until you big day it's Carrie and her phenomenal team.

Carrie, Gail, and Brianna were totally on-point on our wedding day. When you're dealing with so many vendors, you definitely want people this team on your side. Things aren't going to go perfectly on your wedding day (I believe one of our vendors was late with the set up? See, I don't even know exactly because TOFEE handled it so well!), and having TOFEE at your wedding means that someone will be there to handle all of these snafus so you don't have to. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy my wedding day - it was so great having a team I could trust there. More...

I literally showed up to my wedding, looked pretty and had a great time. Katrina took care of EVERYTHING. From setting up the venues (church and receptional hall) to packing the candy vases when the night was over.
I can honestly attest that my wedding would have not been as successful or fun had it not been for Touch Of Elegance Events & Designs.
On the day of my wedding, Carrie did all the set-up at the reception, I basically handed her a bunch of trinkets/decorations and her creative eye made the room look better than I could have ever imagined.
Her attention to detail is impeccable and she is very trustworthy and thoughtful. I am grateful beyond words that she was there to make everything run smoothly so that my husband, family, guests and I could enjoy the day. I recommended Touch of Elegance wholeheartedly to anyone considering hiring a wedding event designer. HIRE Touch of Elegance! They are truly the best

Five stars really does not do this company justice. Touch of Elegance Events & Designs made my wedding a DREAM WEDDING literally!
I cant even thank Carrie and her crew enough for my beautiful day. Carrie moved my wedding reception location because the venue I had was not working with her and Carrie wasn't going to settle for anything less than perfect. If I was to write down everything Carrie did for me and my husband I would be going on for DAYS!!! Your wedding day will be everything you imagine and more if you hire Touch of Elegance Events & Designs!!! I did not know Carrie before my wedding planning, but I felt like she was a sister that took control and made my day perfect. I cannot say enough about Carrie and her crew.... THEY ARE AMAZING!!!! Everyone that attended my wedding couldn't stop talking about how beautiful my day was and all I could do is tell them it wasn't me, it was Touch of Elegance Events & Designs.
