We Create.
You Celebrate.

Words cannot express how thankful we are for you and your team’s amazing help with our Ball this year – it turned out to be an unbelievably fun night and I’ve only heard positive feedback on all the event elements – from the venue, the setup, styling to the entertainment and DJ Eliza!!! Our attendees absolutely loved the floral decorations and table settings as well – thank you for all the time and effort to translate our vision into a gorgeous reality! Please pass on our sincere thanks to everyone involved on your side – from the vendors/suppliers through to the graphics designer, Paul, DJ Eliza and your team – the night couldn’t have gone any smoother and everyone had a great time!!!

Many thanks again Elena – and I hope we get another chance to engage you and your team again in future events; we will certainly be passing on our recommendations to anyone who may have something similar amongst our teams/business!

Thank you again for collaborating with us this year – it’s been such a great experience!

A huge thank you to Elena for all the help with our event. Our company Christmas Party was a huge success and Elena played a huge part in that. She was calm and collected throughout the entire process was able to professionally navigate through some obstacles that were thrown her way, including a very last-minute venue change! Her meticulous efforts in ensuring that our event was perfect! Elena was an absolute gem to work with. Looking forward to working with Elena again for our future events.

Elena, WOW. I have no words to describe how professional, easy and amazing it was to work with her. Our event was by far more than we could have imagined. From initial conversations & brief of what I had envisioned for my little girls 1st Birthday & Baptism, it was everything I'd imagined + MORE! We had guests complimenting our styling, and the children leaving the day saying BEST PARTY EVER! I think that sums it up! Thank you, a thousand times over for making our angels day blissfully perfect.

This is not goodbye! We can't wait for many more incredible events with you in the future.

I cannot praise Elena enough for her incredible work for our daughter's christening! From our very first interaction, she was so punctual with her emails and responses, making the planning process a breeze. Elena listened intently to my vision and delivered it flawlessly, exceeding all expectations.

Her fast responses and thoughtful reminders kept everything on track, and she provided a range of options to choose from, which made decision-making so much easier. She brilliantly coordinated everything with the vendors, taking the pressure off me and ensuring that all details were handled seamlessly.

Elena assured me that everything would be perfect, and she delivered on that promise! The venue setup was absolutely stunning—so many of our guests were in awe of the decor. The flowers not only looked beautiful but smelled amazing, adding to the overall magical atmosphere of the day.

Elena is not only exceptionally talented but also the nicest person you could hope to work with. Her passion and dedication truly shine through in her work, and I feel so grateful for her contributions to our special day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and caring stylist to bring their vision to life! Thank you, Elena, for making our event so memorable!

Before I engaged Elena of LNR Events my knowledge of event planners was limited to Franck from Father of the Bride. While Franck was no doubt talented, he was also neurotic and must have been difficult to deal with. Elena, on the other hand, is talented and a breeze to do business with. Above all else, Elena is an exceptional communicator who responds promptly and with clarity and transparency about all aspects of the event planning and pricing. Elena presented a couple of mood board options (both of which I loved) and then set about creating the setting for an event that came within budget. She was more than happy to tweak details as needed but not to the detriment of the overall look and feel. Elena was very pleasant to deal with and set my mind at ease at all stages of the lead up to and the day of the event itself. I had the most amazingly styled 50th as a result. I highly recommend Elena for your next event.

Elena was our Event Planner at Grand Hyatt Melbourne looking after the (Australian) Socceroo's for two weeks during our matches in 2008. Throughout the entire planning process and from the moment we checked in until we checked out, Elena remained an organised and reliable partner, her attention to detail and professionalism made it an absolute pleasure to work with her. I would recommend Elena for any event.

"Elena created the most magical and beautiful event for my 50th birthday. The space and atmosphere could not have been more exquisite. She thought of so many things I never would have and created the most enchanted evening of flowers, candlelight, beautiful food and drinks and dark romance.
Her attention to details, knowledge of styling elements and kindness and thoughtfulness made it all such a pleasure. It was beyond anything I imagined - everyone had an absolute ball. I only wish I had another big birthday coming up so I could do it all again"

"Elena was an absolute dream to work with to style my daughter's 2nd birthday party. Being a COVID baby and not able to properly celebrate her first birthday, we wanted to celebrate in an extra special way for her and Elena made sure of that!
She is unbelievably patient, accommodated changes of mind and went the extra mile at all times to make the whole planning process a breeze.
You truly don't feel stressed or worried in the lead up as Elena takes all of that on board and makes sure every little detail is thought about. On the day, we walked in to the most spectacular set up that nailed the brief and looked beyond beautiful. She is just so talented and creative, we will most definitely be working with her again for our next event!"

This was the first time our company entered into the space of event management and we could not have had a better experience. Elena was an absolute delight to work with, providing a range of options and experiences and was very patient and professional throughout the decision making process. Elena’s communication and response time was 2nd to none. All we had to do was turn up on the day and enjoy. The feedback from our employees and clients was “the best function to date”. Thank you very much Elena! We look forward to working with you again.

Elena arranged my 40th birthday, and with only two weeks notice brought everything together beautifully and seamlessly from my point of view. She always across the finest details, flexible and more than accommodating as I'd asked for changes, and ultimately the venue, set up, decor, caterers and overall night was exceptional. Will definitely use again.

Elena was amazing in organising our wedding event, she is so professional and lovely, she was so responsive and attentive in her dealings with us and the venue. She organised the most brilliant flowers I have ever seen, and her attention and care for the smallest details meant that our function was the most beautiful set up I have ever seen. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Elena is fantastic. She did such a great job of organising everything for my party, and she has an incredible eye for detail. I honestly couldn't be happier. She worked with printers, bar and catering staff, DJ, furniture hire and even a lolly shop and it all came together without a hitch. I would recommend her to anyone. She took all of the stress out of having a party and it meant I could enjoy my night. Thanks so much Elena!

Cheers,

Elena is the most elegant organiser ever! All events that she arranges are certain to be successful. During many years as an Executive, Elena has managed a wide range of events on my behalf, from intimate dinners for important guests, to large functions. Several in particular standouts were "the best Christmas party ever" quoted by staff. Elena has an enviable ability to get along with everyone, and she treats everyone in the same special manner, whilst all the time being immaculately presented and calmly organising every activity. She has a very creative side and I always turn to her for ideas on such a broad range of issues knowing that she will dream up something appropriately spectacular. I would highly recommend Elena to organise all your events - personal and professional

Non Executive Director, COACT

Elena is an absolute superstar. I’m not the best at conveying what I want/ imagine and yet somehow, she just knew exactly what I was after. Our wedding was originally a winter wedding, and the bridal party all had dark moody colours, when we postponed (thanks to Covid) to summer we had to lighten the entire colour pallet, and Elena just got it so right, everything just popped and looked fresh the colours were amazing. Elena engaged with all the suppliers and handled everything, keeping me posted when she needed; it was so easy from end, Elena would check in and was always so easy to contact. We still have people commenting on the table set up, the candles and flowers, it really was perfect. Thanks so much Elena.

I had the pleasure of witnessing the work of LNR Events on many occasions in second tier Accounting practice. Let me tell you, she is the real deal. Her work is amazing - best I’ve seen. Elena has a beautiful calm personality that controls the event to perfection. I cannot recommend LNR Events highly enough and I look forward to continue working with the team. Thank you

I was pleased to hear that Elena started her own Event Planning company, LNR Events.

Elena was a valuable member of my Events team at Grand Hyatt Melbourne and she was responsible for the Sporting & Entertainment portfolio. She is a creative and dedicated event organiser, who consistently build close personal relationships with her clients. Elena was a motivated employee and I could always reply on her to deliver exceptional events time and time again. I can highly recommend her to look after all your event needs.

I attended an event that was planned and styled by LNR Events. Elena’s professionalism was second to none ensuring the event ran smoothly and that all attendees were looked after. The theme and colour scheme for the whole event was meticulously thought out and flowed right through from the invites to the room setting, decorations and accessories. I would not hesitate to recommend LNR Events to anyone wanting an exceptional person like Elena to plan their next event.
