Truly the best!

Wow - where do I even start?! Well, I must start by saying I am extremely late with posting this review because I wanted to ensure I had all the photos and words to express what a truly spectacular wedding Lissa coordinated for us. I was referred to her by another planner and I’m beyond grateful for that recommendation. I had this (somewhat) crazy idea in my head that I wanted to plan a Harry Potter-inspired/New Years Eve/Black-tie wedding. It was important to me that my core team really share my love of Harry Potter to help me bring the vision to life, in an elevated/classy way. When we had our first intro call, Lissa and I immediately clicked…not only did we share a love of all things HP & dogs, but she understood (and was super excited) the vision. I didn’t want our wedding to be weird…just an elevated experience with a lot of HP Easter eggs woven throughout. Essentially, I wanted her to help me recreate ‘Hogwarts at Christmastime’!

Lissa & I worked together over the next year, and I really felt like I had a friend by my side. She helped me navigate what things I should spend more time on, where we could save some money and when I was going a little overboard & could save myself some stress! Lissa had worked with some our vendors before but not all of them, but it didn’t matter. She did a masterful job at coordinating everyone, the timeline, and ultimately how everything flowed the day of the wedding. When we initially began planning the wedding, we all thought Covid would be well behind us by the end of 2021...little did we know, things were about to get extremely intense and stressful. I’m a relatively low-key bride but reached my breaking point the day of the wedding (illnesses, cancellations, reorganizing, etc.) and Lissa literally took control of everything (she literally had my phone taken from me…bless you Lissa!). She coordinated with my MOH so I could focus on the day and take in all the moments I would have missed worrying about little details. It was only in retrospect did I really learn about all the little things that Lissa (& my MOH) shielded me from and just handled.

When I think back on our wedding day (and the time leading up to it), I can’t imagine working with anyone other than Lissa. She has a very cool, calm, collected demeanor but you will immediately realize what a pro she is and what excellent taste she has. Lissa was great to communicate with and was always quick to respond to me via text or email. Our venue wasn’t particularly easy to work with but, again, she was the ultimate pro and worked through the kinks and ensured that our Harry Potter-inspired, black-tie, New Years Eve wedding was true perfection! Almost as important as her skill, is the fact that she’s just a kind, nice, and wonderful person. There are a lot of nightmarish, high-maintenance wedding vendors out there and I had no interest in that kind of energy. Lissa was the perfect person to coordinate everyone and set the tone for our wedding vendors…she’s the perfect combo of professionalism, personality, and kindness!

Lissa - I am so grateful that Scott & I had you by our sides to guide us through this process...I literally cannot imagine working with anyone else. Thank you for everything!

The most perfect flawless day!

How do I even begin to explain how INCREDIBLE Lissa and her entire team were!

I was in graduate school, working part time, graduated, got a new job, and also bought a house and moved all within the 1.5 years we planned our wedding together! Through it all, I so appreciated Lissa's vendor recommendations, her attention to detail, and her fast communication - often responding to my emails in mere minutes!

Immediately on our first call, Lissa eased any and all concerns and worries about planning a wedding, and her expertise came through right away, which is especially needed when working with a historic venue like mine (DAR in DC)

Even though I got the partial planning package, Lissa was always available via text or email, and we also had multiple phone/Zoom calls as well where she would help make an actionable plan for the following weeks/months ahead.

On the actual wedding day, I ate, drank, relaxed, danced, laughed, had fun, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing! The whole day was truly perfect and executed FLAWLESSLY. In addition, Lissa's colleagues during the day of, Abby and Gio, went above and beyond, and they even took surprise candid polaroid pictures to put in my guestbook which was such a sweet surprise the next day!

10/10 recommend!

Absolutely the best coordinator!!

Lissa and her team was absolutely wonderful from the initial contact up to the end of our wedding day! No matter what kind of wedding you're having, she will make you and your partner feel like you have all of her attention as the most important couple. Throughout the whole process, she was so professional and supportive, even with not as traditional ideas. She had such a quick response time, usually within a day, or a couple hours, and sometimes even sooner! Her attention to detail in making my timeline was also amazing and I felt that we were able to have the whole day planned to the dot before the big day.

On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran so smoothly and we were not stressed out at all! We had some small hiccups with the layouts that our venue had set up, but a quick word from Lissa had them fixing the issue. She's the perfect amount of assertiveness, professionalism, and friendliness with everyone, including the guests.

The large thing that stood out to be was how much all of our other vendors loved Lissa and working with her, and I could see it throughout the day. Our venue had restrictions such as a short setup window, but Lissa communicated with them and navigated the situation very well to make everything go smoothly. Even though we had a venue management person for the day of, it was nothing compared to working with someone that truly focuses on you and your needs. Our vision was captured beautifully, and we do not regret hiring her at all!

Right after college, one of my close friends asked me to help plan her wedding and I thought, why not, who doesn't want to be like JLo in the "Wedding Planner"? ⁣ Even though Matthew McConaughey didn’t save me from a rouge taxi, I did find that I loved the planning process, logistics- and most importantly helping couples on their most special day!⁣

If you're a lover of dogs, sappy Hallmark movies with predictable plot lines, think tacos are the world's most perfect food, love to get down on the dance floor, and want a new planning BFF, we might just be a perfect match!
