If you want a flawless day, book her!
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!
Exceptional Service!
Lissa was our day-of coordinator for our wedding and we were blown away by her and her team! We started with a consultation call to get to know each other and was sent a google folder with so many helpful wedding planning tips and organizational tools. Our meetings were structured and we felt very comfortable asking her the many questions that we had. Lissa's strength is that she made us feel that "she's got us," and that all will be smooth on the wedding day. She communicated closely with all of our vendors well before the wedding date and even served as a middle man between vendors who needed things from each other. Though we utilized her in-person starting at 3pm, Lissa coordinated our ENTIRE day ahead of time so that it all ran well. During the wedding, she checked in on us and our parents several times to make sure all were happy while also cueing each event on the timeline. In addition to all of the task oriented things we were thrilled with, Lissa has a beautiful personality and we felt like she was another best friend at the wedding. Whether you need a full blown wedding planner or a day-of coordinator, we highly recommend her!
The best planner!
I can't say enough good things about Lissa and her team! Lissa has gone above and beyond since the day we started working with her for full planning services. She immediately followed up on emails, helped us narrow down vendors, review contracts and even followed up on random questions my parents and I had. Her amazing planning skills are extremely evident by how organized she is - she has a check list or guide for everything you could think of! Not to mention the day of she made everything run flawlessly from literally driving the golf cart at our venue to a perfect set up to being my hype girl before I walked down the aisle and got nervous. Planning with Lissa feels like you are planning with a good friend as she makes the whole experience easy, calm and fun! If you need any sort of support for wedding planning I would recommend Lissa & her team 100%!
Lissa can make any wedding experience better
We are so happy we hired Lissa to help us through our wedding process. We had her for the partial planning package and our experience was beneficial from start to finish. At first, we weren't sure if a wedding planner was necessary, as I LOVE party planning and am particularly detail oriented- but that ultimately is WHY Lissa was so helpful. Rather than worry about details day of, I could just relax and know it was all in great hands. She kept us on pace the whole time and gave us feedback on what was worth our mental energy and what wasn't. She responded to communications promptly, both to us and our vendors. All her vendor recommendations were phenomenal. She made our day excellent and we cannot recommend her enough!
