COLUMBUS, OH WEDDING PLANNER AND COORDINATOR

for the couple who wants to feel stress-free, seen, known, and cared for.

A bride in a Vera Wang gown hugs wedding planner Elena Markwood at their reception at the Ohio Governor's Residence.

“She answered every question and met every request with ease. Not only is she a total boss (which is definitely what you want in a wedding coordinator), she is incredibly kind, caring and invested in her clients. Elena genuinely cared about my wedding and worked so hard to make it the day of my dreams. Spoiler alert: it was!”

My name is Elena, and if you choose to bring me on board as a creative partner for your wedding day, I will be all in for you from day one.

With Adoration as your wedding planner or month-of coordinator, your wedding day will of course be aesthetically beautiful, but what excites me even more is making it a beautiful representation of each of you as individuals and of you as a couple. My deepest desire is to bring your vision to life and make it even better than you imagined, and to infuse it with your personality at every turn.

I call Columbus, OH home, but would love to travel to your dream wedding locale. If you have another location in mind let’s chat about it!

I can’t wait to meet you and start dreaming up something lovely.

“From the very beginning, she brought a sense of calm, clarity, and excitement that we didn’t even realize we needed. She stepped in with just 10 months to go and took on the challenge of planning a wedding in a completely raw space. She helped us imagine what was possible, and then made it all happen.”

WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING

“Elena kept the event on schedule, made sure everything looked beautiful AND attended to my every need.

From grabbing me a water to doing my bustle to safety pinning my bustle after it suffered an injury on the dance floor, she was always there for me. Absolute lifesaver!”

“If you are a detail-oriented bride who dreams of a beautiful, stress-free, meaningful and personalized wedding day, you NEED Elena!

She was able to work around my crazy schedule and help me bring my dreams and visions to life in such a beautiful way that I never could’ve done on my own. She took SO much of the stress of wedding planning off of my shoulders.”

“This wedding was a dream come true.

Working with Elena made the wedding planning process smoother than I ever could have imagined. Elena was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and responsive throughout the process. She was a delight to work with and played a key part in making this the best night of our lives.”

“On my big day, Elena dealt with all potential problems before I even heard about them,

and she was extremely kind and professional. I cannot recommend Adoration enough!!”
