Lori is the best kind of friend you want to meet. Her selfless nature will blow you away and her professionalism takes so much weight off of the couple's shoulders.
I am so so happy that she was next to us in those last few weeks - I only wish it could have been for longer!”

Meet the Magic Makers Behind Elegant Affairs
Planning weddings is our profession.
Creating experiences you’ll never forget? That’s our passion.
Hi, I’m Lori Losee—founder, lead planner, detail-obsessed creative, timeline whisperer, and your built-in calm on even the busiest wedding days.
I started Elegant Affairs in 2005 after planning my own wedding and realizing I had a true gift (and deep love) for turning visions into seamless, joy-filled celebrations. Nearly two decades later, I’ve had the privilege of planning hundreds of weddings—from luxury vineyard weekends to vibrant Hindu-Southern fusion celebrations and intimate garden soirées. No two are ever alike, and that’s exactly how we like it.
Because at Elegant Affairs, our goal is always the same:
to make your day as stress-free, stylish, and joy-filled as possible.
Our Why
Weddings aren’t just about florals and floor plans. They’re about people—your story, your culture, your family, and the beautiful moments that bring it all together.
We’re here to make sure those moments unfold exactly as they should, with every detail handled and every emotion fully felt. So you can be present, joyful, and completely in the moment from start to finish.
Let’s make magic together. ✨

Owner/Senior Planner Lori Losee
Elegant Affairs was founded in 2005 by Lori Losee, whose love for event planning began long before her first wedding.
While attending Washington State University, Lori discovered her passion for bringing people together as a proud member of Alpha Phi, where she planned countless charity and social events. After graduating with a degree in Communications and Journalism, she spent four years in the newspaper industry — sharpening her organizational skills and eye for storytelling.
Then, after planning her own wedding to her college sweetheart in 2003, Lori had an aha moment: her heart belonged in the wedding world. Within two years, Elegant Affairs was born — blending her business savvy, creativity, and calm-under-pressure personality into a career she truly loves.
Today, Lori is not only a seasoned planner but also a proud mom to two sons, Grant and Jackson. Her mix of professionalism, creativity, and genuine care has earned her a reputation for producing weddings that are as flawless and stylish as they are heartfelt and memorable.
When couples work with Lori, they get more than a planner — they gain a calm, confident partner who makes the journey joyful from start to finish.

Senior Planner Tiphany Thomas
Hi, I’m Tiphany Thomas! I joined the Elegant Affairs team during the start of COVID (what a time to dive in, right?) and have loved every moment since. I began as an assistant, stepped into the Associate Planner role in 2021, and proudly became a Senior Planner in 2024.
Before joining EA, I worked as a corporate event planner for a large tech company — but weddings completely stole my heart. I love that this work combines my passion for organization and logistics with the personal touch and emotional magic that make weddings so special.
There’s nothing better than seeing a couple’s vision come to life on their big day — those “this is really happening!” moments are what I live for.

📺 My comfort show is Gilmore Girls (I rewatch it every fall!) and yes — I am firmly Team Logan.
📚 I’m an avid reader with a goal of 100 books a year. I love psychological thrillers but can’t resist a great rom-com or historical fiction.
