Lia will execute the day of your dreams!

Lia planned our tented wedding on our family estate over the 4th of July holiday. A holiday that has always held a special place in our hearts and Lia understood how sentimental it was for me and my husband to be married then on our family property. Lia was so creative in incorporating the colors red, white and blue in the most classic, timeless, and elevated way! From the texture of the linens, the color palette of the florals, and the use of our family heirlooms that meant so much to us. Lia created a wedding day that was an extension of ourselves that we were able to share with our closest family and friends. We will be forever grateful for the seamless planning experience and the memories that will last our family a lifetime!

Would we even have gotten married without Lia?

We found Lia early in our planning process, in January 2021 for our June 2022 wedding. I knew I couldn't handle planning all the details / juggling all the emails / sifting through a million vendors while finishing my PhD program, so we chose Lia's full-service option. Every time we met with her, our wedding became realer and more exciting - seeing her 10+ page vision board brought it to life and helped guide our decisions. Our budget was a bit tight, and Lia consistently found vendor options who would were true to our vision and still within our reach. (Seriously...the florist she found, Grace Flora Studio, was breathtaking, wild, and lush, and I hadn't been able to find her through my cursory googles.) We never felt like we were being steered into a certain version of what a wedding should be; instead, Lia listened and really HEARD us when we talked about the kind of union we wanted, from gender-neutral language and crews to a jam band for the cocktail hour. I've been telling all my friends in the Northeast that they NEED a wedding planner like Lia to keep from drowning in emails, suffering from decision fatigue, and getting overwhelmed. Lia even custom-built our champagne walls which worked as the focal point of our reception. I always felt confident and supported with Lia on our side, and when the week of the wedding came, things were a breeze and we could just spend time with our family and friends. Lia, we can’t thank you enough for your steady presence, joy, and expertise throughout the process. You're basically the human version of a bottle of champagne. :)

Simply Seamless!

We decided to work with Lia because of the variety of packages she offers. The design/decor + day-of combo was just the right fit to make our restaurant wedding full of special details that matched our style and SUCH a seamless experience for everybody. We're so grateful we partnered with Lia during this process!

Stress free wedding - perfect day!

Stress-free. That’s it. You want a stress-free wedding? Hire Lia Bee.

When my wife was looking for wedding planners, she said “I just want to find someone that I enjoy talking to, understands my vision, and doesn’t try to push things on me” – and that was Lia Bee.

It was a pleasure working with Lia in the months leading up to our wedding. She was organized and on top of everything. She had a perfect timeline/roadmap of things we needed to accomplish and helped us stay on track. We talked budgets and vendor price ranges and she delivered. She never pushed any vendor on us and made sure to stay within our comfort zone in terms of finances (I’ve read that some planners have preferred vendors that they make you use – yikes).

People always talk about how stressed they are leading up to their wedding…I’m thankful I never had to experience that.

**Quick side story from our wedding that I’ll never forget – We took pictures outside in the Boston Garden and my wife’s wedding dress got filthy. Lia had a Day of Wedding assistant with her who spent 30 minutes on her hands and knees scrubbing my wife’s wedding dress before she walked down the aisle. And that’s the level of care you can expect when you hire Lia !!
Organization (Google Drive), Budget Planning, Vendor Screening, Vision Boards – she does it all.

Text, email, phone calls, Zooms, and FaceTime – she was always available.

We are truly thankful for Lia and all that she did to turn our initial wedding thoughts and ideas into reality. It was the best day of our lives.

The best decision for our wedding!

Simply. The. Best!! Everyone needs Lia (and her team) in their wedding planning process! The best decision my husband and I made in terms of our wedding was hiring Lia to help us plan! I cannot recommend her highly enough. We hired Lia for full planning, from venue to wedding day! Lia was extremely responsive, organized, thoughtful, sweet, kind, fun, and all around an amazing planner to work with! She has an impeccable eye for style and design and made our vision truly come to life. Lia respected and kept us on budget (a win)! On the day of our wedding, she handled everything and gave me peace of mind and the ability to truly enjoy our day. You cannot go wrong with hiring Lia and her team! Best decision EVER!!! Thank you Lia

Lia is a Lifesaver!

I had so much anxiety about our wedding that I actually delayed getting married. Lia absolutely came to the rescue. She is super smart and super organized, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing for the wedding. So many people loved how personalized and smooth our wedding was, and our wedding party said that it was the least stressful wedding they have ever been a part of. Hire Lia. Just do it. You won't regret a single thing.

Dream Wedding Planner

Lia made the entire wedding process so seamless. She was flexible, responsive, and beyond dedicated to our wedding. She made us feel like we were the only wedding she had on her plate and validated each decision we made. The days leading up to our wedding were less than ideal- storms, 40 MPH wind, and intense rain was the forecast that came to fruition. Lia calmly and seamlessly helped us change each and every detail of our ceremony. She brought our outside ceremony dreams a reality indoors in less than a day. We were so at ease the morning of our special day because of the trust we had in Lia. Our wedding was relaxed and truly spectacular because of Lia and her dedication to her couples. There will never be enough words to thank her.

Amazing experience

We had our ceremony and reception at different locations, and we were really worried about the timeline of the day. Not only did Kima, our coordinator, came up with a perfect timeline, but she also made sure that everything went smoothly. We were not stressed on our wedding day at all. It was such an amazing day thanks to Lia Bee!

Lia is the consummate wedding planner!

Lia came through for us in even the most minute aspects AND the ones that were out of our control. She cheerfully rescheduled our reception when the pandemic struck all of us. She had great suggestions and helped us choose the vendors that were the best fit for our vision of an elegant and intimate wedding at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel. We recommend Lia for everyone!

Best decision!


As a consummate worrier, I didn’t think it would be possible to enjoy my own daughter’s wedding. But that view changed after meeting Lia Bancroft just two months prior to the event. I was certain she could handle all the moving pieces of a large downtown Boston wedding and she far exceeded my expectations. (Missing groomsman’s tuxedo pants? – not a problem for the clever Ms. Bancroft!)

Lia worked hand in hand with the catering manager of the Fairmont Copley Plaza as well as the numerous vendors. She thought of so many details my daughter and I had not considered. Lia carefully choreographed the rehearsal evening, day of festivities, and the New Year’s Eve fairy tale wedding. And she did so with grace and patience. Not only did Jenna & Rob and their 220 guests have a ball, but I did as well! Thank you so very much, Lia Bee!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
