About

Informed by a 20+ year background in food and beverage, off-site catering, and luxury events, my approach to wedding planning and design is inextricably linked to hospitality. A world that revolves around experience. Where stars are awarded based on how intentionally a thing is done. How personally a need is met. How completely a desire is fulfilled.


We know five-stars when we feel it.

And when that level of distinction extends to every category—the food, the decor, the entertainment, the details—an easy, effortless sense of enjoyment is unlocked. That brand of fully-present happiness needed to create the best and brightest memories.

Through Lia Adams Events, that’s the gift I’ve delivered to over 100 couples and counting. And I’d love to do the same for you and yours.

Hire Lia!!!!!

We cannot say enough good things about Lia Adams Events. From start to finish, Lia made our destination California wedding feel not only possible, but genuinely enjoyable.

Lia is an amazing listener and a strong advocate. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, she stepped in with clarity, reassurance, and solutions — always making sure my voice was heard. She went far above and beyond what we expected, including letting us ship all our wedding items directly to her and personally putting together our welcome bags with so much care.

What truly sets Lia apart is how supported you feel when working with her. She is organized, thoughtful, and deeply invested in her couples. By the end of the process, it felt less like working with a vendor and more like gaining a trusted friend.

If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, let this be your sign — Lia Adams Events is worth every bit and more.

Phenomenal experience

Hire Lia. I searched high and low for a planner that felt right for our complex, large scale event. The wedding industry is overwhelming, and at times exhausting — working with Lia changes all of that. She’s so incredibly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of every part of a wedding production — she’s an expert in catering, design, logistics, troubleshooting — but most of all, it’s obvious from the moment you meet her that she’s here to be on your team. Lia is a fierce champion for her couples — she went to bat for us when things were tough, found solutions before we even knew there was a problem, and earned our total trust with the most important day of our lives in a heartbeat. She managed a complex event with an incredible team, and not a single leaf was out of place — and she and her team made it all look easy. None of it would have been possible without her.

Lia is Compassionate, steadfast, trusted; an ideal partner in Events

I would recommend Lia over and over again for anyone looking for leadership in the events space. Lia leads with so much compassion and confidence and was willing to go the extra mile and a half to make sure we were taken care of during our wedding journey every step of the way. Truly cannot express how grateful we are for her willingness to always be there for us throughout. This is going to sound a bit cliche, but she felt like our sole savior during an experience that was full of unexpected twists and turns.

She’s a sound thought partner, communicator and collaborator, and when things may seem stormy she provides the calm and expertise to keep everything going. She brought creative solutions for us to stay within budget (even save money), and she had amazing contacts to help us bring one of a kind elements to our event.

Felt like we became best friends throughout the journey.

Thank you so much Lia!!

Best wedding investment

From the first meeting we had with Lia, my husband and I knew this was the best investment we could have made in planning our wedding, especially since we had chosen a rustic venue that required us to bring lots in ourselves (eg., luxury port-a-potties, staff). Lia is experienced to know all the little quirks of planning a wedding and has a way of putting you at ease when you panic about something you hadn’t yet thought of - she is always ten steps ahead of you. On the day of, she made sure everything flowed smoothly and that we weren’t worried about any logistical details. Last but not least, she’s incredibly warm, fun, and down-to-earth, which made the planning process feel like a breeze. A surprising amount of guests came up to us at the end of the night telling us this was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to and we know Lia played a big part in making that a reality.

AMAZING Wedding Planner!

I've been meaning to write this review for such a long time! Lia, by chance, helped my now husband plan out his proposal and when he told me this, I knew she had to be our wedding planner as well!

Lia was nothing short of AMAZING to have alongside us for our wedding journey. She brought our wedding vision to life! In such a way that went above and beyond what we had originally imagined. She's friendly, professional, communicative, detail-orientated, and made us (mostly me- ha!) feel so calm during the whole planning process. Exhibit A: Our original DJ canceled on us 3 days before the wedding. I called Lia right away and she was able to find us another DJ within a couple of hours!

She's MAGIC and we loved her! So much so, we literally recommend her to anyone we know who is engaged!

We didn't have to worry about a thing day of!

Lia was super easy to work with and kept us on track in the lead up to the wedding. She was always willing to take calls on weekends and evenings to accommodate our work schedules. We walked into the venue day of and it was just perfectly set up and decorated beyond my expectations without ourselves or any of our party having to worry about a thing! Lia (and her whole team) is a true professional and her calm energy in the face of changes day of was worth every dollar. Knowing her and her team were on top of everything day of allowed us to just focus on enjoying our day!

You Won't Regret Hiring Lia Adams Events!

My husband and I worked with Lia over the past year to plan our wedding. We are so thankful that we had Lia to guide us through the crazy process that is wedding planning. She was down-to-earth, honest, thorough, and made amazing vendor recommendations. She was able to help us answer the myriad of questions that came up as we planned our event, and we both felt like we were able to trust her and her judgment throughout the entire process. I can't stress enough how much you will appreciate that in a planner as you navigate the planning process. She listened to our vision, pivoted easily when things changed here and there with our budget, and did a great job of ensuring we understood the timeline for planning and to-dos.

Because of Lia, our wedding flowed effortlessly from start to finish. I felt like once the ceremony began, we didn't think once about anything planning related the rest of the evening. I am still looking back and smiling about our day, grateful that we got to spend quality time with our loved ones. When considering all of the factors that go in to hosting a wedding, I prepared myself that there would probably be a few things here or there that come up. But honestly, it all felt magical and will always be one of the best days of our lives. I highly recommend Lia Adams Events for any event that you're planning.

Wonderful Wedding Coordinator!

Lia was the kind, knowledgeable, and professional force that made our wedding day come together beautifully and seamlessly. She worked with us from the very early planning stages, keeping us on track and serving as an invaluable resource throughout the entire process. My husband and I had virtually zero event planning experience going into this, and Lia was able to provide us with excellent support in putting together our rental order and our drink shopping list (we would have had NO idea how much of everything to order otherwise!) and gave us great vendor recommendations that were professional and trustworthy yet also reasonably priced. She even helped us plan our drink purchases for our welcome dinner event. She also offered an additional support team package that helped provide bartending and set-up/clean-up services throughout the day of the wedding, which was extremely helpful and convenient. Lia was also very responsive to our questions throughout the process and our check-in meetings were always instructive and grounding. It's said that something always goes wrong at weddings, but Lia somehow managed to shield us from that rule. We, and all our guests, were simply blown away by how smoothly everything went. I spent 0% of my wedding solving last-minute problems, which allowed me to spend my time fully with the people I love. We just can't thank Lia enough for her work, and recommend her wholeheartedly!

Lia is the perfect wedding coordinator!

We looked far and wide for the right wedding coordinator, and I can say without a doubt that Lia is everything we could have possible hoped for in one.
She worked with us leading up to the wedding, offering her time, patience, and expertise in the wedding business. On the weekend of the wedding, she effortlessly executed on our vision and took care of every detail. The wedding day was perfect, from start to finish.

Her prices are also very reasonable, especially considering the level of service offered. She's been in the business for many years, and her deep connections to other local vendors made our life even easier.

I would wholeheartedly recommend her to help with your wedding - would work with her again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much Lia!

Amazing Wedding Coordinator

Lia was absolutely awesome!! From the time we first met her to the day of our wedding, Lia was great and we’re very happy with our decision to have her as our coordinator. We signed up for her month/day-of service, and it was exactly what we needed. Although we didn’t sign up for full service, she was always available to talk with and answer questions. Lia is easy talk with and very professional. She has a lot of experience with event planning and it shows with how she took care of us. We were always at ease during our check-ins with her leading up to the wedding. During our wedding including rehearsal, Lia was the calm during the storm and handled everything for us. One thing that made her stand out from other coordinators we talked with was her laid back yet professional and confident personality, and this was important during the wedding. A million things are happening all at once and you’ll want someone like Lia guiding things. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, I highly recommend Lia. Her pricing is similar to other coordinators, so it really came down to how well we meshed with her, which came easily. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Lia!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
