The best decision you can make for your wedding

Hiring Lisa will be the best decision you can make for your wedding planning process! She made our day so effortless and flawless, even with how many moving parts and details there were. If there were any hitches, we had no idea and neither did our guests, we were able to totally enjoy our day. We had so many compliments from our guests on the pacing and how relaxing, easy and fun the day was.

Lisa put in so much time and effort into everything. Even though we were just one of many couples lucky enough to work with her, it felt like we were her top priority. I was very picky about who we hired as a planner because of my own background in planning and I could not be happier that we picked her! She was so easy to work with and so responsive to our needs. Her energy and positivity made it such an enjoyable process. It was truly a joy to work with her and I am fully confident that she was the reason our day went so perfectly.

Best wedding planner ♡

Lisa is an insanely talented wedding planner. My family added on extra events on top of our wedding and all of them went off without a single snag. She was planning with so many members of our family: my in-laws, my parents, and myself (for the wedding day itself) and she was so on top of everything and smoothly making sure things chugged along. She even had some meetings with my officient! She was so easy to work with and so knowledgable. She was able to plan our gorgeous wedding, a day trip on Sunday for my extended family who flew in from out of town, a wedding brunch, and a welcome dinner for both my in-law's and my parent's guests. It was an insane weekend, but thanks to her everything went so unbelievably well. I cannot recommend Lisa enough! She took into account not just how professional and on-time the vendors would be, but price-points, and convenience for the elderly guests. I paid for the full package and it was worth every penny.

We like Lisa!

Lisa was excellent to work with throughout. She has lots of experience and an eye for detail, and will ensure you have everything set up for your wedding. She is easy to communicate with and to get ahold of. If we had to do it all over again we would work with Lisa, and we would recommend her services to anyone.

An absolute godsend of a coordinator!!

You will not regret hiring Lisa in any capacity for your wedding! We just got married over Labor Day weekend in downtown Portland and Lisa was our day-of coordinator. We were so thankful to have gotten unlimited consultations with her for the 8 months leading up to our wedding because we were planning it from the east coast and having her be on the ground and in the know in Portland was so crucial! She really went above and beyond for us because aside from creating our timeline and running the show, she also recommended terrific local vendors, picked up and returned our linens order, and so much more! Lisa is tenacious, detail-oriented, and so incredibly hardworking - she cares about your wedding just as much as you do and you cannot put a price tag on that. Our wedding day was executed to absolute perfection and even when there were minor problems, we were presented with options for solutions and a can-do attitude! Lisa and her assistant Danielle helped take the mental load off of us as the bride and groom entirely. We felt so relaxed and had so much fun because we knew Lisa took great care of us. Highly highly recommend any and all future brides in the PDX area to book (early) with Lisa and have her partner with you from the get-go!

Lisa Made Our Dream Wedding Day A Reality!

Lisa was the day of coordinator for our wedding, and she was such a pleasure to work with. She was involved well before the wedding day providing recommendations and advice, and on wedding day she was an absolute joy to work with. She's kind, professional, organized, funny, and experienced. The day would not have been the same without her and I would absolutely work with her again in the future. Thank you for everything, Lisa!

Amazing Wedding Planner

Working with Lisa was truly one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. From the very beginning, she was a joy to work with and was extremely thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly organized. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, and she made the entire experience not only manageable, but actually enjoyable.

From booking the venue to the final moments of our wedding day, Lisa was by our side for every step of the planning process. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and fun, and we always felt supported and confident knowing she was on top of everything.

Her organization is next-level. We never had to worry about missed emails, forgotten deadlines, or overlooked payments. She handled all of our questions (and we had many!) with patience and clarity, and she gracefully managed every special request we threw her way.

Ours was a multi-day celebration, and Lisa made sure that every single moment ran smoothly. Because of her, we were truly able to relax and soak in the joy of the weekend. It was such a gift.

We are so grateful to Lisa and would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone planning a wedding or special event. She’s the best.

Full Service Wedding Planning

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Lisa! From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, attentive, and always available whenever we needed her. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she made the entire process so much smoother. Whether it was helping us navigate vendor relationships or offering calm and thoughtful guidance during our personal stresses, she was an absolute lifesaver.

We planned a wedding for 225 people in Portland, Oregon from New York, and she helped make that process so much easier. Her organizational skills are unmatched, and her attention to detail ensured that every part of our big day was flawless. She even helped us think of things we wouldn't have thought of ourselves, ensuring no detail was overlooked. On the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch, all thanks to her hard work and preparation. No question was too small, and no task was too big—she handled everything with a smile and a sense of calm that put us at ease. We truly felt supported throughout the entire process.

If you are looking for someone who is not only highly professional but also caring, understanding, and endlessly helpful, we cannot recommend her enough. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joyful one, and we are so grateful for all she did to make our wedding day perfect!

Book with Lisa and be happy

Lisa was THE BEST. Could not have asked for a better planner/coordinator. She went above and beyond when it came to making sure we were having the day of our dreams.

She was punctual, communicative and is just the nicest person in the world. She clearly has so much experience in event coordination and was superb in vendor coordination.

She made the day go so smoothly it frankly astonished us (and all the event staff!) 10/5 would recommend to anyone!

The most perfect wedding day

I can’t imagine having our wedding without Lisa. There were so many details she knew about that I would have never thought of. She communicated with and managed vendors so we didn’t have to think about anything on the day. She’s professional, organized and proactive. She is also very friendly and supportive. Highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
