Would not have survived the day if it wasn't for Lisa and her team!!
Let me start off by saying that I initially thought that getting a planner/coordinator was a bit ridiculous, but when there was only 2 months left until the wedding, my meetings with Lisa definitely left me feeling like everything was being considered and taken care of. I was not forced to do anything that I didn't want to do. Our wedding was truly "ours."
Shout out to Lisa, Marcy, Anne, and Anastasia! They made the day so simple! Also, I am sure that they put out many "fires" that I didn't even know were occurring. I would recommend them to anyone. Lisa truly is the best of the best. She is so professional and knows her stuff! I am so thankful for her and the entire CCBL team!

We Love Lisa!
She has been in the business for awhile and has a ton of relationships with vendors. If you tell her what your vision is, she will make it come true…..from the most perfect band or DJ, to the most gorgeous and out of control flowers, to the tiny little décor details and flow of the day. I showed Lisa 1 picture and she made it a reality. She came up with the most thoughtful ideas – instead of escort cards we used bud vases, with name tags, to guide guests to their seats. And for table décor/favors Lisa suggested marble coasters and asked our calligrapher to write guest names on each.
SO many of our family and friends approached us and said that every little detail of the day was perfectly executed. Lisa and her team were so easy to communicate with and extremely responsive. HIGHLY recommend!!
Lisa is a masterclass on professionalism, kindness, organization, crisis management, and finesse.
Outside of saying yes to my husband, Lisa is the best decision I have ever made and I don't say that lightly. Despite getting pushback on hiring a planner, the minute I met Lisa, I knew I needed her. She’s a complete powerhouse.
I wanted someone showing up that day focused on my husband and I. The venue has priorities, catering has priorities, our families have priorities and I wanted someone in my corner covering my tracks if I dropped balls, and a sounding board as I navigated a once in a lifetime event. That’s scratching the surface of what I got with Lisa. She is all I could have dreamed of plus a million more things! DON'T THINK, JUST BOOK LISA!
Lisa is a masterclass on professionalism, kindness, organization, crisis management, and finesse. She keeps it real, highlights things that are important, and things that you can pass on all along with a nonchalant and humorous approach. Her value came through immediately and increased every time I spoke with her. She was available for questions, guided me in making decisions, and served as an invaluable sounding board as issues arose. It doesn't matter the state I was in getting onto a call with her (anxious, stressed, sad, mad) or what was happening, I left each and every call confident and optimistic that our wedding would be a great day with her at the helm. You can not put a value on that feeling and having someone by your side in this process!!
I'm not an event planner, have never planned anything at this scale, and was frankly way outside my element. With both my husband and I working full time and a venue that required us to bring in everything that day, it would have been impossible to manage every detail such as "how much electricity does each vendor require" or "flow of the day" while somehow remaining excited about the whole reason for it all, that we have found the person we want to spend the rest of our life with. I can see how couples lose joy in the process. Enter Lisa, who leds with her calming presence and empathy, while acting as your biggest advocate and lead blocker.
Separately, we had an especially difficult vendor who brought me to tears on multiple occasions and could have derailed our entire event. If I had been in this alone, I would have been a basket case. Lisa would show up to any adversity in our process with a proactive assess, and say "Don't worry, I got this" and she did. She showed up direct, professional, and continued to tell us "you two are my priority, I don't care about anyone or anything else". To hear that during such a stressful time when you are getting pulled into a million and one different directions, is invaluable.
I have tears in my eyes writing this review and thinking about how much comfort, knowledge, solace, support, and invaluable expertise Lisa provided me. I don't know what my day or mental state would have been like without her and thank my lucky stars I had her by my side.
If you're reading this and considering hiring Lisa and a planner, the best thing you can do for yourself and your event is hire Lisa & her team. Not only is she spectacular at her craft but truly does care about you. You'll feel it on your first call with her and it will carry through the process. Everyone needs a Lisa in their life and especially on the most important day of your life!
A perfect rating doesn't just happen, it requires expertise and commitment to your craft, a strong work ethic, and top notch customer service. That doesn't even begin to cover it with Lisa. She is hardworking (probably too much so, I don't think she has had a day off in years), attentive, accessible, knowledgeable, all along with a sense of humor and easy going, we got this kind of approach.
Not to mention, her team!! Lisa was my right hand for planning and the sound of her voice on my wedding day made me burst into tears but HER TEAM, MY GOD!!! Shout out to Kelly, Chelsea and Marcy! Talk about complete ROCKSTARS!! There are no weak links with Lisa’s team, they are the smartest, warmest, most boss ladies you’ll ever come across.
Given her perfect rating, she doesn't need my review and there aren’t words to the fully capture the impact she made. I struck gold twice. Once, finding my husband then finding Lisa. She saved me, truly.
You need lisa!
Lisa - you are the one of the most talented people in this world. You work harder than anyone I've ever met, your communication is fast as lighting and effective, and your shining light of a personality is evident in the lifelong friendships and business relationships you've built. You handled every request, challenge, change of mind, and detail with your incredible personality, sense of humor, and determination. Your expertise, work ethic, and passion for celebrating love is evident in the work that you, the incredible CCBL team, and the vendor relationships that you've built over the past 13+ years. You were my rock when I needed it and won over every single person in our families (and the many personalities) while exceeding expectations to make our dreams come true. Every call, meeting, zoom, text, and email had us smiling and laughing all while you worked nonstop. We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you and the amazing CCBL team, watch you create magic, and gain a friend for life. THANK YOU LISA 🤍
You Need Lisa!!
