About

I offer services ranging from Day of (starting the week of the event) through to a Custom/Full service option where you choose what is important to you or what you don't want to be doing. 19 years of experience, starting with creating a hotel wedding program that was very successful, to now being independent for 10 years and having the honor of helping couples celebrate at some of the top resorts in the world, based right here in the OC. 50% of my couples are coming in from out of town/state, so you can be confident in knowing that I can keep you on track and get things done even if you aren't able to make a single trip to your location prior to the big day. If you are looking to travel to other parts of the world, then together with my love of travelling and my wedding planning experience, I can help you find the right destination for you and pull it all together. I have a lovely studio we meet in that will get you in the wedding zone and give you lots of great ideas for your day.

The Best Wedding Planner You Will Find

I don’t even know where to begin with how amazing Lisa is. Five stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. If you are in the hunt for an amazing wedding planner, look no further than Lisa. She is one of the most detail-oriented human beings I have ever met. She helped plan and fully executed our wedding to PERFECTION. Not a thing went sideways under Lisa’s watch. She was the calm voice of reason during some wedding planning drama, and was the fun and quick-witted boss in charge on our wedding day. We are a few weeks out from our wedding, and we just keep re-living how perfect the day was, and that would not have been possible without Lisa running the show. Lisa brings an old-school vibe with next-gen energy and vision. Her assistant Darla was so kind and funny, and between the two of them, there is nothing you need to worry about on your wedding day. A crazy relative interrupting plans?—I don’t think so; A vendor who is late? —not a chance; Someone sitting for ceremony ahead of schedule? —not going to happen.
Lisa knows what she’s doing, and even for the type A brides (like me), letting her ‘do her thing’ was the best blessing we could have had for our wedding day. It was flawless. I could go on and on, but I’ll stop and say, YES, HIRE HER. IT IS WORTH MORE THAN YOU KNOW!

Huge Thank You to Lisa & Darla – The Dream Team!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Lisa and her assistant, Darla, for our wedding! From start to finish, Lisa was warm, professional, and truly invested in making sure every detail was perfect. She has this incredible ability to keep everything organized and stress-free—thanks to her, I never once panicked during the planning process.

Lisa took the time to understand our vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life. She made sure we were happy down to the very last detail, and the final result was more beautiful and seamless than we could have ever imagined.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, reassuring, and a joy to work with, Lisa and Darla are the absolute dream team. I couldn’t recommend them more! 💕✨ #WeddingPlanning #DreamWedding #BestPlannerEver

Best Wedding Planner Ever

Lisa made my wedding day the best day of my life. She is the best wedding planner you could ask for!

She goes above and beyond. My florist forgot the rose pedals for the bridal suite and Lisa (after asking me) took the time to hand pluck rose pedal from my bouquet to put in a heart shape on the bed and it looked amazing!

She gave the best advice! I originally planned to go down to the beach before the ceremony but she said I would not want to get dirty before the vows and she was right. I had so much more fun on the beach knowing I didn't have to worry about ceremony photos!

Everything was perfectly timed and she even had little snacks and drinks waiting for us before our grand entrance.

I also thought her price was very reasonable as well.

(My wedding was in Orange County, CA)

Awesome wedding planner!

We were recommended to contact Lisa by our venue, The Resort at Pelican Hill, as they had only the best things to say about her! She has a ton of experience, knowledge and contacts within the industry and that made the entire process much easier. She thought through all the small details that weren’t even on our mind and because of that the wedding ran smoothly. Most of our vendors came through her recommendations and we can’t thank her enough for this!! We had a great time working with her and would recommend her to all couples looking for the help they never knew they needed! Thank you again Lisa!!

Lisa was my guiding light throughout the wedding planning process. I don't know what I would have done without her. From our first meeting, I knew Lisa understood my vision and was the person to help me execute it. On my wedding day, she far, far surpassed my expectations and delivered the most amazing day of my life. Lisa was an amazing support system and friend throughout the process, but really helped me out in three primary ways. (1) She helped me set a clear and realistic budget based on my "must haves" and "nice to haves," which was a helpful starting point to reference when meeting with vendors. (2) She knows the top Southern California venues and vendors and will communicate / transact with them on your behalf. It was so helpful when Lisa could speak with the band, for example, to explain exactly how many lights we needed for the reception (because I have no idea). (3) She is incredibly organized and maintains a tight day-of schedule for the wedding party and vendors. No detail is left unnoticed in Lisa's schedules - everyone knows where they're supposed to be at every moment. I had the most amazing, worry-free wedding ever thanks to Lisa, and I will truly miss working with her!! xoxo

I can not say enough amazing things about having Lisa as your coordinator. I am one of those CRAZY brides that over analyzes EVERYTHING and can't make a decision and rethinks EVERYTHING. From day one though...I never had one doubt about booking with Lisa. From the moment I sat down with her to interview her, there honestly was this HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders and I really felt that through all her experience/knowledge and sincerity, I could really trust her. She also has timely responses, she knows all the questions/things to go over that you would never even think of and she is highly experienced (does weddings for the Ritz/St. Regis and pretty much all over). She is the perfect wedding planner, keeps you from stressing and knows how to get things done all while being very professional with everyone (vendors/family/bridal party).

Lisa Simpson was recommended by our photographer, Frank Salas. We booked her for the 2-month service, as our hotel (Hyatt HB) required a coordinator and since we are currently living out of state, we figured we may need the extra help. I would 100% recommend her to any bride needing a coordinator/wedding planner!

She is incredibly experienced, responsive, and professional. She thought of every single detail and wanted to make sure our wedding went exactly the way we wanted, not the way she thought it should be. She gave honest feedback, which I appreciated, as we wanted our guests to also enjoy our wedding.

We could not be happier with the way our wedding came out. Everything was so beautiful and perfect and most importantly, we were able to actually enjoy OUR day! Thank you SO much Lisa! :o)

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
