Ellie is an amazingly creative designer for all your event & home decor needs! Recently she created a specialty etched mirror for our home’s entryway. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and perfect mirror for our home. It represents who we are combined with a message that elicits class. We are grateful to Ellie and are thrilled she created this treasure for us. Thank you Ellie!!!!

We had an incredible time at our friends baby shower! Ellie had decorated incredibly - the flower and mirror arrangements were my favorite! I would recommend her to anyone - you won’t regret hosting your event with her!

Ellie’s ideas and energy are endless. She took the time to listen to my expectations for a wine tasting I co-hosted and then added her own notes and iterations. Needless to say, she helped us knock things out of the park. Guests were happy, I was comfortable enough to host and entertain, and she whizzed around in the background making sure everything was in place for me…. Just as we had planned. Highly recommend!!
