What Clients Say
Event 1
Tech conference, virtual, 1000 attendees
Nancy Vogl
For the past several years, I've worked with Elise Luddy by providing speakers for a major event she's been heavily involved in the planning and production of. Elise is savvy, smart, a delight to work with, and always on top of things, all while creating a memorable experience for the attendees. I highly recommend utilizing Elise for planning any event, be it an intimate affair or a massive gathering.

Elise Luddy did a masterful job pivoting from producing a large, in-person Michigan Council for Women in Technology event to creating a state of the art virtual conference. It was enjoyable from start to finish, and attendees, vendors and speakers were all set up for success. Getting to join Elise in empowering and equipping the attendees was a great privilege and pleasure.

I had the privilege of working with Elise for the MCWT Annual Conference in 2021; It was an absolutely JOY to work with her. She was proactive, helpful, and kept things positively moving forward as we planned the first virtual conference. So grateful to have had the chance to work with her!
Event 2
Boutique arts festival, in-person, multiple events on multiple nights
Jaclyn Lebert,CTSM,CTA
Elise goes to great lengths for her clients and I was so grateful to be one at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. At the time, my company's conference deliberately coincided with the festival so attendees could experience this great downtown event. Unfortunately, when I contacted her to book the tent they had historically rented, it was already sold. Since our CEO was adamant about having this premiere location; it left me in a terrible predicament. I explained this to Elise and she assured me she would find a solution. Elise worked to relocate another scheduled event so we could have the ideal location. It was fantastic and I so appreciated her efforts.

Elise is a talented, enthusiastic and energetic master of event planning. We worked together on the Ann Arbor Summer Festival when my company was a sponsor. She has an amazing ability to keep calm in chaotic environments and adapt to changes with ease. She treats everyone working for her, and with her, with the same respect which results in a supportive, collaborative team environment. I would highly recommend Elise to plan your next big event.
Jessica A.S. Letaw
Elise took a large, complicated event and made it incredibly easy for us. We had expected to work hard at our party, and Elise kept everything running smoothly and beautifully from before we started to well after everyone had gone home. She was a pleasure to work with, and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again.

Julie Ridenour Perea
Elise is truly a "Jill of all trades", able to handle any situation with enthusiasm and a smile. During our time together at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, she organized a high profile fundraising dinner, diligently researched films (and licensing) for Top of the Park, deftly managed credentials for all festival employees, and stepped up to assist wherever and whenever she was needed. I would happily endorse Elise to anyone!
