CCBL- Remarkable Wedding Planner: Worth Every Penny and More!

We recently had the total pleasure of working with Lisa, Traci, Chrissy and Kelly as my daughter's wedding planners. They made our special day an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met them, they exuded professionalism and expertise, immediately putting us at ease. I cannot stress enough how much their services contributed to making our wedding planning journey stress-free and enjoyable.
One of the standout qualities of Creative Concepts by Lisa and team was their ability to maintain a constant smile throughout the entire process. Their infectious positivity was uplifting and reassuring, even during moments of uncertainty, rain, heat and general stress. It was evident that they genuinely cared about our happiness and wanted to make our wedding day extraordinary.
What truly sets this wedding planner apart is their understanding of the importance of the day. They listened attentively to our vision and desires, offering invaluable suggestions that perfectly captured our dreams. Their ability to juxtapose different elements, such as traditional and contemporary styles, resulted in a wedding that felt uniquely personalized to us. Every detail was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, creating a breathtaking ambiance that exceeded our expectations.
Beyond their remarkable creativity, this wedding planner demonstrated exceptional understanding of family dynamics. They navigated complex relationships and diverse personalities with grace and tact, ensuring that everyone felt included and valued. Their ability to harmoniously blend different perspectives and preferences was nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to their expertise, our wedding day was a celebration that united our families in joy and love.
Throughout the entire process, the wedding planner assembled a skilled and dedicated team. From florists to caterers, they worked with every vendor which may not be always easy. I felt all interactions was top-notch and everyone seemed happy and shared the same commitment to excellence for our event. This cohesive team worked seamlessly together, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding day ran smoothly. It seems evident that CCBL is highly respected within the industry, and their experience undoubtedly benefited us and reassured us. Every "problem" I presented during the event was quickly dealt with and remedied.
I highly recommend Lisa and team to any couple or parents embarking on the journey of marriage. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering support will make your wedding planning experience not only stress-free but enjoyable. Trust me when I say that they are worth every penny and more. Their expertise and dedication will turn your dream wedding into a reality, leaving you with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Writing a review for them is easy, I will miss them taking care of me and most especially making all our dreams and visions a beautiful reality right up to well after all the guests are home.

To summarize, working with this wedding planner was an absolute joy. Their ability to create a stress-free environment, their infectious smile, their understanding of the day's importance, their adeptness in managing family dynamics, and their phenomenal team all contributed to an extraordinary wedding experience. They come highly recommended by us, and I can confidently say that investing in their services would be worth every penny.

Could not have done this without them!

Lisa and her team were instrumental in putting together our wedding day. Our al la carte style wedding had so many moving pieces and CCBL sewed them together seamlessly to truly create a magical day. We honestly could not have pulled it off without them. Lisa and Traci were responsive and professional and collaborated with us on all decisions which helped to make the build up to our wedding as stress free as possible. The wedding day was incredibly organized and the day of team was fantastic in helping our event run smooth. We could not recommend Creative Concepts by Lisa more to anyone planning their special day!

Best Decision I Ever Made!

I hired Lisa to plan my 60th Birthday Bash at the New Haven Lawn Club. Lisa was simply amazing and doesn't miss a trick. She is super organized and remembers every single detail. She always has a positive attitude and always has you laughing and enjoying the process. And she works her tail off at the event. She is never sitting down or looking at her phone. She is hustling.

I am a firm believer in hiring a planner for any event. A planner like Lisa takes on all the stress and responsibilities so you can enjoy the event and not have to worry. She also helps in the planning process to help make important decisions from food and beverage to design and decor. The biggest help for me was creating a budget and sticking to it. Lisa helped me find lower cost alternatives through her relationships with the best vendors in CT.

Sometimes you do not realize you need an event planner until it's too late. Don't let yourself get stuck. Instead, call Lisa for a flawlessly executed event that you can actually enjoy as the host. She's THE BEST.
