Liz is a dream!

Liz at Island Life Events was amazing to work with. We were planning a destination wedding and she helped suggest vendors and just really knows the south florida area vendors. She was always available via phone or email for any questions or concerns we had. Her and the team were key in helping us make sure everything went smoothly during our wedding weekend. We could not recommend her enough.

Look no further, this is your planning team!

Liz and Sarah at Island Life Events are the absolute best in the business, and it's not even close. From the very first call all the way through our big day, Liz and her team turned what could have been a very complicated planning process into an extremely easy and stress-free experience.

Liz listened to all of our ideas and hopes for our vision, drew up a comprehensive plan, took all of our feedback into consideration, and, most importantly, was completely honest and transparent the whole way through. We knew that we could move forward with confidence in every detail of our wedding plan because Liz would let us know with full sincerity what would work, what wouldn't work, which vendors were worth their cost, and which weren't.

She managed all of our communication between vendors with the highest level of professionalism and urgency. We worked with a venue that had extremely poor communication, but Liz stayed on them and pressed for replies and answers when they otherwise wouldn't.

Without Liz and Sarah, our wedding day would not have been the massive success that it turned out to be. It was such a pleasure to work with them, and I will miss talking to them regularly!

ILE: Sarah Parker Day of Package

Sarah was the absolute best! We had the day of package. Sarah was so helpful, super responsive, and had amazing insight for our wedding. Come month of, she helped us feel such at peace while coordinating with all our vendors which led us to a seemless wedding day with her help. She is the type of person to help me and my husband clean my dress post ceremony photos after it dragged on the floor. She goes above and beyond and would strongly recommend!

Liz and her team are the BEST!

Working with Elizabeth and her team was one of the best decisions I made in the wedding process. Liz set me up with the best vendors, and my wedding day went so smoothly because of her and Sarah and how organized they are. She is so responsive and always emailed me back right away, no matter how many silly questions I asked her. She is very experienced and amazing at what she does and I am still blown away at how incredible everything turned out on my wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend using Island Life Events!

Highly recommend

Liz was always accessible and communication was excellent. She listened and understood our vision, helping it come to life ! Connected us to amazing vendors, and immediately stepped in to assist with a few roadblocks we encountered along the way. Liz came bright and early the day of, and stayed through reception to assure everything went as planned . My reception decor and table arrangements were spot on and seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition was truly special and worth everything.

Best wedding planner!!

Liz was an absolute pleasure to work with. We originally hired a different planner who made my family and me feel like we were a burden. We knew she wasn’t a good match for us and decided to part ways. We were given Liz’s information from our venue. After our first conversation I knew she was the right planner for us. Every time I would e-mail, call, text she made me feel important. She made me feel like I was her only client. I knew how busy she was, but she took her time with me and went above and beyond for my wedding.

I am from out of state, so when I would make visits down to Florida we would have in-person meetings, which would last for hours - not just because of the wedding talk, but we would get side-tracked with convos about life. It’s important to have this bond/relationship with your vendors. When our wedding weekend came she was on top of EVERYTHING. I put my trust in her and her daughter, Sarah, and they both performed!

When looking to hire a planner take note. Make sure they advocate for you, make you feel like you’re a priority, and are experienced. We can’t thank Liz and Sarah enough for all of their help and hard work. I highly recommend Liz!! You will not be disappointed.

If you want Detail, Perfection and to possibly make a Friend, come here!

Liz and Sarah are unreal amazing. They are so type A and have an incredible amount of detail and thought put into each second of your wedding. I felt like I had a friend before the wedding in both of them and when the actual day came for my destination wedding I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I also appreciated Liz and Sarah in the fact that no matter what other vendors thought was the right route to go they stuck with me and made it work. They will provide you guidance and make sure that you are getting everything out of your wedding that you are hoping for. If you are not a detailed person that is fine, they will make up for your lack of detail, if you are incredibly detailed and need someone to match your energy they are the vendor to go with. They made the day so incredibly easy and perfect that it honestly was without question the best day of my life in large part because of Liz. Sarah we missed you on the day of! I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience and I know I won't get married again but if I did have to I would let them run the show from start to finish!

Incredible Experience!

I can't say enough about Elizabeth and Island Life Events. They were quite frankly amazing and helped me every step of the way from planning to the actual party. Every ask was responded to ASAP and Liz was always in constant communication. I had a huge wedding and all of the logistics were handled flawlessly. She is a pleasure to work with and I will miss be able to talk with her!!! I couldn't recommend them more.

Liz and ILE were amazing!

If you’re looking for a planner, look no further. Liz and her team did an incredible job. They are very responsive and provide great advice for all your questions leading up to the day.

Two days before our wedding, our venue let us know that the 2 event staff were not going to be on-site the day of. At first we were really worried, but Liz made sure everything went flawlessly. The venue linens weren’t in great condition with a lot of wrinkles and Liz leveraged her relationship with other vendors and found replacements the day of the wedding.

Highly recommend! Thank you to the ILE team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
