Beckett (Rat Terrier) & Winston (Corgi)
We are the sweet office dogs at Elise Cronin Events. Beckett joined the team in 2007 and Winston is the newest member who has been at Elise Cronin events since 2017. We mostly nap and look for anyone who is willing to give us payment in the form of treats. But don't worry, if you do not like dogs they can just stay home curled in front of the fire.
Morgan Elise Events is a Chicago and New Hampshire-based wedding planning company with a focus on creative direction, offering our clients a concierge-level planning experience. We design a very limited number of weddings a year, each of which take about ~450 hours of staff planning. We get to know you and your family, your likes and dislikes, what items are important to splurge on and ones you would like to be budget conscious about. Your guests will no doubt have a memorable evening and know how much thought was put into every detail.
We are known for delivering sophisticated, elegant and personalized events filled with romance (and lots and lots of candles).

"Morgan Mitchell and her team are amazing! Her professionalism, creativity, sense of humor and passion for brides and their special day is off the charts. My daughter lives out of state but wanted her wedding in California – this seemed like a daunting task but Morgan made it seem like a piece of cake. She was available to chat with my daughter (who lives in a different time zone) and me to be sure we were all on the same page. She was able to meet with my daughter and know what would suit her best before my daughter knew! This took great listening skills and a complete knowledge of the industry. Kimberly has great relationships with vendors and knew which would work best with us and our situation so that there was never a moment of worry. I simply cannot speak highly enough of Elise Cronin Events!”

“Wow… Elise Cronin Events essentially moved mountains in the home stretch of our wedding. They are beyond professional, yet so warm, which is exactly what I was looking for in a wedding planner. Morgan and Kaitlyn calmed my chaos, and did it all with a smile. They truly helped my dream wedding become a reality. My wedding party and family continues to rave about how great they made her feel throughout the entire weekend! Kaitlyn and Morgan, you guys are an angels and a lifesavers. So grateful for you both and Elise Cronin Events!”

“I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am for you and everything that you did to help make our big day a huge huge success! I know there are so many things you did behind the scenes that I probably don’t even know about in the days leading up and the day of that made my mom and I enjoy everything with little to no stress and, for that, I am eternally grateful! Chris and I had so much fun at the wedding and reception and the memories are priceless! We can’t wait to get the video and pictures! Thanks so much! For everything!”
