Hi! I'm Helena
Planning has always come naturally to me. Growing up as the oldest child in a single-parent home, I was the one organizing everything. I planned family dinners, baked cupcakes, and made sure every birthday felt a little extra special.
Back then, I dreamed of owning my own bakery called Bean’s Bakery. That was my nickname—Bean. But over time, I realized what I loved even more was the joy of bringing people together.
That love led me to study event management and eventually start Helena Elizabeth Events.
We believe weddings should feel easy, thoughtful, and full of love. Whether you're planning a big celebration or an intimate gathering, every detail matters.
South Jersey holds a special place in my heart. I started my career here and fell in love with the charm of towns like Cape May. It feels like walking through a real-life storybook. I still love stopping by Uncle Bill’s Pancake House or visiting Congress Hall, one of my favorite venues. Fun fact, it was featured in the movie A Complete Unknown with Timothée Chalamet.
Now, I get to bring that same cozy, coastal magic to couples who want a wedding that feels timeless and heartfelt. My biggest inspiration is my grandmother, Melissa Ferguson. She was a talented interior designer who taught me the value of creativity, hard work, and loving what you do. I bring that same energy into every wedding we plan.
"they really showed up and proved their talent"
I cannot express how much I appreciate Helena and her team. Helena was amazing at leading me in the right direction the few months leading up to my wedding day. We really needed Helena and her team's assistance the day of the wedding; they really showed up and proved their talent. We truly would have not had an amazing day without the support of this amazing team.

"from beginning to the end, helena took care of everything"
Couldn’t have asked for a more professional, and most important of all, caring individual to run the show for my baby’s wedding. From beginning to end, Helena took care of everything allowing us to enjoy this prescious moment without a care in the world…… even taking my daughter’s cake up to her suite after the party …. Just an incredible job!!!!

"helena is seriously top tier"
If you are engaged and planning a wedding or looking to host a high caliber event just stop right here and reach out to book with Helena. But really, as a fellow vendor in the wedding industry I work alongside many planners and coordinators and Helena is seriously top tier. Her organization skills are absolutely amazing. Her willingness to take on a large project and bring together the perfect team is something to applaud. She will execute your vision to perfection and handle any challenges thrown her way with grace and poise. Her ability to maintain composure and pivot throughout a day is also seriously wonderful!
