Elle Seals is a planner who treats a wedding like a weekend-long couture project. Five years into leading her own company, she’s known for fashion-forward celebrations that feel bold yet personal, with full-service coordination plus in-house floral services to keep vision and execution under one creative roof. Capping her calendar at around twelve weddings a year, she protects white-glove attention while building experiences that unfold seamlessly and photograph like a dream.

Her north star: “work to live & love what you do.” That shows up in candid, high-touch communication about design and budget, a willingness to push the envelope (without pushing couples), and a clear bias for spaces with striking architecture and beautiful light. Think statement palettes, sculptural florals, and pacing that clicks.

Unfolding Events is the kind of planning studio that makes a wedding feel like home—warm, intentional, beautifully personal—while running the backstage with crisp, hotel-grade precision. The team brings 10+ years across catering, hotels, museums, and even corporate fintech to every celebration. That range shows up in the details: guest experiences that “surprise and delight,” timelines that breathe, and design that never copies a template. With a psychology background at the helm, they read rooms, soothe nerves, and navigate family dynamics with rare emotional intelligence—so decisions get easier and joy takes the lead.

402 Events is the bold, builder-minded planning house that lives at the intersection of logistics and showmanship. Founded nine years, the studio has grown into a powerhouse team, delivering 100+ events a year with uncommon range. Their credo, “where intentionality meets hospitality,” shows up everywhere: couples feel seen, timelines hum, and guest experience is engineered with the same care as the design.

Their services run from day-of coordination, design-only, and partial planning to full-service production, plus in-house muscle for lighting, draping, and custom builds. Packages are clean and defined, and budgets are handled with frank transparency—early reality checks, priority mapping, and market-based recommendations.

Founded on a love for people and their stories, Styled in White Events turns personal history into design direction—elevated, classic, never stiff. They’ve mapped celebrations across Omaha, Kansas City, Dallas, Austin, Tampa, and beyond, building events that move like a well-edited film: beautiful pacing, no dead air, guests cared for at every turn.

The signature? Service with heart and discipline. They listen hard, sweat the little things, and translate “this feels like us” into rooms that glow. Services span full-service planning & design to wedding-day management, with smart custom options for everything in between. A capable team comfortably oversees 35–40 weddings a year—boutique by choice—so each couple gets real attention, clear communication, and calm leadership.

A full-service planning and design studio with a soft spot for “novelty” guest experiences, Rachel J. Events build weddings that feel modern, polished, and unmistakably personal—then keeps the logistics calm behind the scenes. Think clean lines, smart color stories, and guest experiences that feel “novel” without ever slipping into gimmick. It’s design as storytelling, then logistics that keep the magic moving. 

Signature hallmarks across these weddings: in-house stationery and custom builds to tie every touchpoint together, thoughtful pacing (no dead air between moments), and an on-hand inventory that lets the design team match form with function. For couples starting the journey, they also offer wedding design with clear entry pricing and a complimentary consult—useful for translating “mood board” into a plan that actually works on site.

There’s no single “best” planner—there’s the best fit for your style, pace, and budget. Shortlist your favorites, comb through full galleries (not just highlight reels), ask for sample timelines, fee breakdowns, and backup plans for heat, wind, or pop-up storms. Then book chemistry calls and trust your gut. Prime dates go fast in late spring through early fall, so move quickly. With the right Nebraska planner in your corner, you’ll swap stress for sparkle—and walk into the wedding day feeling present, prepared, and totally you.
