Lissa is your go to coordinator!
I cannot say enough good things about Lissa and her team. To be completely honest, we didn't think we would need a coordinator- boy was I wrong! I don't know what we would have done without Lissa. Lissa was a life saver in every sense of the word. She worked closely with our vendors and was familiar with them in the wedding workspace. Her relationships with the vendors really helped put us at ease during the planning process. She was so knowledgeable about little details and we were able to turn to her when we had questions about what we should do. She was accessible in the time leading up to the wedding to answer our questions and made sure we never felt like a bother with our questions. Lissa had a day of timeline we worked through many times and she made it so easy to make edits and really make sure the wedding day was as easy and stress free as possible. On the wedding day itself - Lissa and her team managed the venue and made sure everything was perfect. Lissa was a perfect calming and encouraging presence before I walked down the aisle. This day truly was better because she was a part of it. I would absolutely recommend Lissa to anyone planning an event- she is amazing! Thanks again Lissa!
Best Wedding Planner Ever!
Lissa and her team were amazing to work with! Living overseas was a big challenge when planning our wedding, but with Lissa in charge, everything went so smoothly in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself! Having Lissa and the team take the lead on the day allowed us and our families to enjoy such a special day together without the stress of focusing on a million things at once. Not having to worry about when we would be taking photos, when we are doing speeches, when we have our first dance, was so nice - and Lissa kept us on track with all of this so well. She was so adaptable to catering for all of our changes and needs throughout the planning process, something we couldn't avoid being abroad! Her recommendations of vendors were absolutely perfect for our vision and our budget, and our guests thought so too! All of our guests kept saying how perfect the day was and how impressed they were with everything! I would highly recommend Lissa for your wedding planning needs, as she made our big day a memory we will cherish forever!
Sophia and Luke’s Wedding
My daughter was married in September 2025, and since she lives in Australia while we are in the United States, planning her wedding initially felt impossible. The time difference and distance made it so difficult to coordinate, but thankfully, she and her fiancé found Lissa. From the very beginning, Lissa worked closely with them staying in constant communication, and offering thoughtful guidance every step of the way. As the mother of the bride, I cannot imagine how I would have managed without her support across two continents. Lissa gave us the reassurance that everything would be handled, and she delivered exactly that. On the wedding day, everything came together flawlessly, and it was truly perfect. Lissa’s tireless dedication, organization, and professionalism made all the difference. I highly recommend her, and trust me, you will not regret working with her. Lissa is, without question, exceptional.
Lissa is the best!!
Lissa is an expert at all things wedding! She will make sure you are the number one priority and will ease any stress you have about the day. She will also give you great vendor recommendations, discount codes, will reply to 5 emails somedays, and does it all with a smile. She will even help bustle your dress on the day of when nobody else can remember how! :) I am so grateful that we hired Lissa to be our wedding planner. My wedding went so smoothly thanks to her and her wonderful team!
