Nick and Hannah Wedding 6/14/25

My wife and I got married in June of this year and worked with Paige and Lisa to plan our wedding. We were only engaged for about 6 months and had a pretty big wedding and working with Paige and Lisa made the process go wonderfully - we couldn’t have imagined planning our wedding without them. We’re so grateful for their help and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. Our wedding day was amazing and we’ll always be thankful for the role Paige and Lisa played!

Best planner EVER!!!!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Lisa. From the very beginning, she made what I thought would be a stressful process feel so easy & enjoyable. As someone who is extremely type B, I was constantly blown away by her organization, attention to detail, & flawless execution.

Lisa struck the perfect balance throughout the planning process. She kept me on track with deadlines (which I desperately needed) without ever making me feel stressed. She listened carefully to what we envisioned for our wedding & made sure every detail reflected us, while also offering her expert perspective when it was helpful. Her ability to combine our ideas with her experience created something beyond anything we could have imagined.

Both the night before & our entire wedding day itself were absolutely perfect. Everything ran smoothly & completely exceeded every one of our expectations. I honestly cannot emphasize enough that none of it would have been possible without Lisa. She is calm, confident, & truly exceptional at what she does. I would trust that woman with my LIFE !!!

I would recommend Lisa a million times over to anyone planning a wedding or event. We are SO so grateful for her & everything she did to make our wedding the most spectacular day of our lives!!!!!

Elegante is the very best!!!

We were married in Boca Grande, Florida in October 2025, and Elegante Weddings and Events made our entire wedding weekend nothing short of perfection. Lisa and her team are, without question, the most organized and detail-oriented professionals we have ever worked with. Every single element was flawlessly planned and executed, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. Their level of care, precision, and expertise is unmatched. We could not recommend Elegante Weddings and Events more enthusiastically — they are simply the very best!

Elegante Weddings is THE BEST!

We would give more than 5 stars to Lisa and her fabulous team at Elegante Weddings and Events if we could! Lisa and her team are incredibly organized, extremely connected and knowledgeable, and so passionate about what they do. Lisa guided us every step of the way through a full year of planning leading up to and including the wedding weekend, which was a full 4 days of events at the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin. Lisa also planned the honeymoon and did an amazing job! Lisa and her team exceeded our expectations in every way. They are so personal yet professional and calm in the height of wedding planning stress. Lisa thinks of every detail and communicates so well. Her eye for design is exceptional and her connections with vendors are incredible. Our wedding weekend was beyond beautiful and ran smoothly from start to finish. Lisa, Paige and Claire were with us the entire weekend to coordinate everything with the venue and help the bridal party with all of our needs. With the huge amount of time Lisa spent planning and overseeing our wedding, the value received for dollars spent was well worth it! We highly recommend Elegante Weddings and Events, 5 stars isn't enough!

The best decision EVER!!!

Working with Lisa and Elegante Weddings and Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first call to the final dance, Lisa was the ultimate partner. She was calm, creative, organized, and endlessly patient. She took every half-formed idea, Pinterest screenshot, and scattered thought I had and somehow turned it into the most beautiful, cohesive, and meaningful celebration we could have imagined.

Even a week later, our friends and family are still raving about how thoughtfully everything was planned and how seamless the entire weekend felt; from the flow of events to the tiniest personal details. Lisa’s attention to detail, deep understanding of the nuances of a fusion wedding, and her ability to make complex timelines feel effortless made the entire process genuinely enjoyable for us.

Beyond the logistics, she was our sounding board, problem-solver, and steady presence through every step. She gave honest feedback, anticipated needs before we even voiced them, and connected us with incredible vendors like Smitten Boutique and Chris + Josh from Cavalier & Co every single one matched her level of excellence and professionalism.

We’re also so grateful to Joni, Claire, and Adri for their support throughout the weekend. They were such a DREAM TEAM.

Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more, and we truly have Lisa to thank for bringing our vision to life so flawlessly. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your planner, know that you’re in the best hands imaginable.

Love - Sanica + Justin

Highest recommendation for Elegante!

Their process was pluperfect, engaging and brought a wonderful sense of ease to planning! Paige wove the wedding day together like a pro, making sure all went off without a hitch, calmly managing blips, and even somehow capturing her own beautiful clips. We really appreciated her pre event advice and day of expertise. Claire was a wonderfully fierce bridal attendant, ensuring every detail was handled with care and adding value at every turn. Elegante proved to be the confident rudder we needed on what can feel like a stormy day — and was 100% the best money we spent !

Lisa is the best!!!

When we decided to have a destination wedding in Umbria, we didn’t know where to begin. We are SO thankful that we found Lisa, without whom our wedding wouldn’t have been possible!

Lisa is such a powerhouse and devotes a tremendous amount of time and energy to each and every one of her clients, which immediately put us at ease and made us feel so comfortable and confident every step of the way. She has a strong and trusting relationship with so many of the vendors she works with in Italy, which goes a long way toward ensuring you only work with the very best people and don’t have to worry about surprises. Her recommendations for everything – the venue, the music, the florist, the transportation companies – were so spot on.

Lisa is incredible communicative, organized, and patient in the face of the innumerable questions and challenges that inevitably come up while planning a destination wedding. Even more surprising, Lisa made herself equally available to our guests and went above and beyond to provide advice on where/how to travel, ideas for follow-on trips after the wedding, and more. All of our guests universally gave us feedback that Lisa was incredibly helpful and did her best to make their entire experience unique and wonderful.

We have already referred Lisa to a number of our friends who are getting married in the near future and are so thankful that she was able to bring our dream wedding to life!
