About

Elegant Affairs was launched in 2005 by Lori Losee. Lori realized her love for event planning at a young age. This love was further solidified when she became a member of the Alpha Phi sorority at Washington State University. It was that time that Lori was able to get her feet wet by planning charity and social events. Lori graduated from WSU with a degree in Communications with an emphasis in Journalism. She worked in the newspaper world for four years before she began her new career in event planning.

It was after planning her own wedding to her college sweetheart in 2003, she realized that her heart was really in the wedding industry and Elegant Affairs was born. Her family has expanded to include her sons Grant and Jackson.

Lori brings a unique mix of business savvy and creative vision that has consistently translated to flawless, stylish and memorable events. Her passion for weddings, attention to detail, and all around people skills, makes her the perfect addition to any bride and groom's planning experience!

Incredible

It is hard to put into words how amazing Elegant Affairs is. We worked closely with Tiphany and she made us feel like the most special bride and groom in the world. Our day was more than perfect because of this team and we are SO grateful! I would not change a thing from our wedding day!

Highly Recommend!

Elegant Affairs was an incredible team to work with on our wedding day. Specifically Tiphany Thomas, who we hired as the day of coordinator. She kept prompt communication, scheduled meetings and took care of our vendor contracts. Everything turned out better than expected and went so smoothly. She kept us on our timeline, made sure as bride & groom we had a few moments to ourselves and made cleaning up and exiting the venue a smooth process. I would highly recommend her and their team for any and all events. Thanks so much Tiphany, you're the best!

8.25.23 Double Venue Wedding!

I had the pleasure of working with Tiphany and Lori on my big day (8/25/23). I had met with over a dozen wedding coordinators and Tiphany made me feel the most at ease. Once we had our initial meeting I knew Elegant Affairs would be perfect! I personally am quite a planner and Tiphany recognized that immediately and knew that a day of coordinator was all I needed. I felt heard and not pressured at all which is what I had experienced from other businesses or potential coordinators.

The most challenging part about my wedding was that I had a separate location for the ceremony and reception. That didn't seem to be a concern for Tiphany and Lori. Both of them knew of my venues and had tons of experience working at each location. Lori and Tiphany took the time to complete a full walk through at each venue and were amazing help in asking questions I hadn't thought of. We had a plan A-Z for anything that could've happened.

Lori handled everything at our wedding ceremony venue (Thornewood Castle) and Tiphany handled everything at our reception venue (Pioneer Park Pavilion). I cannot praise these women enough. I got to thoroughly enjoy my wedding day from start to finish without anyone pestering me. These ladies handled EVERYTHING. Lori helped me with an alternative send off and constructed a balloon arch in MINUTES! Lori was amazing during all of the photos and had even worked with our photographer (Jerome Tso) many, many times and knew exactly what he was looking for in each of our shots. While Lori was managing Thornewood, Tiphany was hard at work with another assistant decorating our reception venue. Tiphany handled setup and all of our vendors arrival times. She thought of things that I hadn't and made the reception venue look beautiful.

I am Cambodian and it was incredibly important for my family and I to incorporate our culture and tradition into the reception. Tiphany managed everything that was thrown her way, even if hiccups arose. She wasnt afraid to jump in and make it such a seamless event. Tiphany made sure that I had food, water, lipgloss and everything in between!

I received SO many compliments from our guests about how seamless both the ceremony and reception were. I honestly have no idea how these women kept on our schedule, but they did! We were even AHEAD of schedule mostly and the credit entirely goes to Elegant Affairs. I wish we could do iy all again because of how amazing the day was.

Tiphany and Lori, THANK YOU.
