Elegant Events by Elisa

Elisa loves anything weddings, learning (traveling near and far to learn as much as she can) and as well as teaching other. She has had to privilege to speak many times, both locally and at a national level on behalf on the industry she loves.

 Elisa MacKenzie, CSEP, MBC ™, a professional wedding planner has been planning both social and corporate events for many years. These events range from intimate formal teas to large galas and corporate award ceremonies to company picnics.  Her favorite events though, have always been weddings.  She launched her own company in 1996 specializing in just that, and is now experiencing the joy of running her “own business in the business she loves”.

MacKenzie is an active member of the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) and the recent  Kentucky State Coordinator for the Association.  She is also a Past President of the Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the International Special Event Society (ISES) and a Past Regional Vice President for the ISES Midwest.   She earned her distinction of accredited bridal consultant from the ABC in 2005 and master bridal consultant in 2008.  She earned her certified special event professional status through ISES in 2003.   The highlight of her career came in 2006, when she received the Association’s highest horror, The Miss Dorothy Heart award.

Along with weddings, Elisa loves to travel and has had the privilege to go abroad many times.  She is having a wonderful time with her family and her career.  She says her two passions are her “babies (now 14 and 17) and her brides” (usually 20 or so a year).
