5-star Client Review on Google (2023)
My husband and I hired Elena at Elite Events as a day of coordinator for our wedding Sept 2023 at Sun Peaks BC and can’t say enough good things about her. She was always available for anything that I needed via text and email which was ESPECIALLY appreciated in the couple weeks leading up to the day. She captured and executed my vision for the ceremony & reception decor even better than I could have imagined and was there for whatever we needed all day. My day was completely stress free and I know it was because of Elena (and Nick) for taking care of everything; from picking up the cupcakes, decor set up/take down, keeping us to the timeline (everything happened on time, we never fell behind!!), communicating with all of our vendors and being such a calm and happy energy. I can’t possibly recommend Elite Events enough.

Elena and her team at Elite Events BC were instrumental in creating two successful community events - we would certainly work with them again given the chance. They were great communicators and followed up about everything big and small, even helping us remember things that might have been lost in the shuffle. Elena is also full of great ideas and helpful suggestions due to her (clearly) extensive experience with a variety of projects and events. Never pushing her own agenda or ideas, she always kindly made suggestions where she saw an opportunity to make something better. This team is great to work with from start to finish, very professional, on time, and just really nice people - highly recommend!

The Middlesboro Bridge Grand Reopening in Merritt was an incredible event, and it’s all thanks to Elena and her amazing team! Every detail was thoughtfully planned—from the beautifully displayed student artwork to the welcoming atmosphere of the heated tent. The orchestrated flow, and positive energy really lent to the event bringing the community together to celebrate this important milestone. Elena and her team did an outstanding job showcasing Merritt’s resilience and pride. Bravo! We really appreciated you and all your hard work!

Thanks for the good work coordinating the on-site leadership hike at the Scatchard Mountain Road trails south of Chase last Saturday, Elena. Your ability to adapt to the current restrictions, navigate changing the date within everyone's busy schedules, and maintain the small group size made the walk a very positive experience.

Elena planned a large company catered Christmas party for me. I found her to be very knowledgeable, organized and thorough. Elena ensured every aspect of our event went off without a hitch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elite Events BC to any of my family or friends looking for event planning services.

I was lucky to participate in one of Elite Events BC with Elena’s first Kamloops tour. I had such an amazing time. We met downtown at the library and got to meet the owners and shop at Castles and Cottages, Jardine’s Domain, Mainstreet Cloting and Desert Rain Giftware. It was really neat to get to meet the owners and feel like a real insider. We were all treated like VIP’s. Elena pulled off a remarkable event. Thank you!!!⭐️

Elena Markin has worked for Shuswap Tourism for the past 6 months organizing and attending events such as the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues and our bi-annual Shuswap Tourism networking event. Elena is extremely organized and simply a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to any company to use for event planning and implementation.

Elena provides that special kind of "spark" that only few people can add to the work environment. She is ambitious, capable and seems to always be pursuing new ideas and exploring new opportunities. She consistently demonstrates great initiative and finds ways to reach beyond the status quo and always with a smile on her face. It was definitely my privilege to have worked with Elena.

Dear Elena,
Thank you for your support and contributions to our operations over the past six weeks. Valued partners like you are so essential to our overall guest experience. It has been a challenging time for many in face of the wildfires across British Columbia, and your contributions helped to alleviate some of the concerns of our guests traveling through the region.
Specifically, I would like to thank you for providing outstanding service to all of our impacted guests. Your patience and willingness to adjust your operation to accommodate our last minute requests for accommodation and breakfast service, as well as your support for our team on the ground, made such a positive difference as we addressed the ongoing challenge presented by the wildfires.
At Rocky Mountaineer we strive to create memorable, positive, life-changing experiences for our guests and you have been an essential part of this. On behalf of the entire organization, thank you for your support in the face of incredible challenges.
Kind regards,
