Wow - where do I even start?! Well, I must start by saying I am extremely late with posting this review because I wanted to ensure I had all the photos and words to express what a truly spectacular wedding Lissa coordinated for us. I was referred to her by another planner and I’m beyond grateful for that recommendation. I had this (somewhat) crazy idea in my head that I wanted to plan a Harry Potter-inspired/New Years Eve/Black-tie wedding. It was important to me that my core team really share my love of Harry Potter to help me bring the vision to life, in an elevated/classy way. When we had our first intro call, Lissa and I immediately clicked…not only did we share a love of all things HP & dogs, but she understood (and was super excited) the vision. I didn’t want our wedding to be weird…just an elevated experience with a lot of HP Easter eggs woven throughout. Essentially, I wanted her to help me recreate ‘Hogwarts at Christmastime’!

Lissa & I worked together over the next year, and I really felt like I had a friend by my side. She helped me navigate what things I should spend more time on, where we could save some money and when I was going a little overboard & could save myself some stress! Lissa had worked with some our vendors before but not all of them, but it didn’t matter. She did a masterful job at coordinating everyone, the timeline, and ultimately how everything flowed the day of the wedding. When we initially began planning the wedding, we all thought Covid would be well behind us by the end of 2021...little did we know, things were about to get extremely intense and stressful. I’m a relatively low-key bride but reached my breaking point the day of the wedding (illnesses, cancellations, reorganizing, etc.) and Lissa literally took control of everything (she literally had my phone taken from me…bless you Lissa!). She coordinated with my MOH so I could focus on the day and take in all the moments I would have missed worrying about little details. It was only in retrospect did I really learn about all the little things that Lissa (& my MOH) shielded me from and just handled.

When I think back on our wedding day (and the time leading up to it), I can’t imagine working with anyone other than Lissa. She has a very cool, calm, collected demeanor but you will immediately realize what a pro she is and what excellent taste she has. Lissa was great to communicate with and was always quick to respond to me via text or email. Our venue wasn’t particularly easy to work with but, again, she was the ultimate pro and worked through the kinks and ensured that our Harry Potter-inspired, black-tie, New Years Eve wedding was true perfection! Almost as important as her skill, is the fact that she’s just a kind, nice, and wonderful person. There are a lot of nightmarish, high-maintenance wedding vendors out there and I had no interest in that kind of energy. Lissa was the perfect person to coordinate everyone and set the tone for our wedding vendors…she’s the perfect combo of professionalism, personality, and kindness!

Lissa - I am so grateful that Scott & I had you by our sides to guide us through this process...I literally cannot imagine working with anyone else. Thank you for everything!

What a godsend Lissa (and her team) was. Even though we did the ‘event planning’ package, Lissa was still available for any questions we had throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the most perfect day, and we truly did. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on our day and it was the BEST time ever!! Could not done this without her. ❤️

When I say we couldn’t have pulled off our wedding without Lissa’s passion, talent, and care, I truly mean it. From day one, she promised to be our biggest advocate and cheerleader—and she delivered in more ways than I ever could have imagined! Whether it was our monthly check-ins, my manic texts, or her steady presence throughout the wedding weekend, she was there for us every step of the way. Not only did she recommend some of the most talented vendors in the industry, but she also helped bring my vision to life, never once questioning any of my more unconventional ideas or requests. She made everything feel possible. Lissa handled communication with our incredible vendor team so seamlessly and helped me navigate every hiccup with calm, confidence, and ease. On the wedding weekend itself, she kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so my husband and I could truly be present and enjoy every moment! After nearly two years of planning, it was so special to watch everything come together—and it simply wouldn’t have happened without Lissa and her team. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Lissa and her team were amazing to work with! Living overseas was a big challenge when planning our wedding, but with Lissa in charge, everything went so smoothly in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself! Having Lissa and the team take the lead on the day allowed us and our families to enjoy such a special day together without the stress of focusing on a million things at once. Not having to worry about when we would be taking photos, when we are doing speeches, when we have our first dance, was so nice - and Lissa kept us on track with all of this so well. She was so adaptable to catering for all of our changes and needs throughout the planning process, something we couldn't avoid being abroad! Her recommendations of vendors were absolutely perfect for our vision and our budget, and our guests thought so too! All of our guests kept saying how perfect the day was and how impressed they were with everything! I would highly recommend Lissa for your wedding planning needs, as she made our big day a memory we will cherish forever!

My daughter was married in September 2025, and since she lives in Australia while we are in the United States, planning her wedding initially felt impossible. The time difference and distance made it so difficult to coordinate, but thankfully, she and her fiancé found Lissa.

From the very beginning, Lissa worked closely with them staying in constant communication, and offering thoughtful guidance every step of the way. As the mother of the bride, I cannot imagine how I would have managed without her support across two continents. Lissa gave us the reassurance that everything would be handled, and she delivered exactly that.

On the wedding day, everything came together flawlessly, and it was truly perfect. Lissa’s tireless dedication, organization, and professionalism made all the difference. I highly recommend her, and trust me, you will not regret working with her. Lissa is, without question, exceptional.

If you are looking for a wedding planner in the DMV, you have found your girl! Lissa is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. Nothing slips through the cracks with her. Your wedding day is a big investment, so it felt incredible having the peace of mind that our special day was in the hands of a true professional. Lissa is also incredibly personable. It felt like wedding planning with a friend. I always left our calls feeling energized that we were planning an event that was authentically us. I also appreciated Lissa’s top-tier organization skills. Every tool she utilized from Aisle Planner, to the logistics questionnaire, to the decor & inventory google sheet made everything run so seamlessly and made it simple for me to think through and communicate details we wanted for our day. I loved that Lissa met me exactly where I wanted to be regarding involvement in wedding planning. I wanted to be highly involved in vendor selection, design, etc., and she let me run full speed with that, but there was SO much happening behind the scenes that she handled seamlessly leading up to and on our big day. The day of was beyond enjoyable for my husband and I as a result - Lissa orchestrated everything to perfection! We could not be more pleased. Despite last minute switch-ups due to weather, every detail was flawlessly executed, every single vendor knew what they were doing with the new plan, and not a single guest would’ve ever guessed this wasn’t plan A. She somehow was simultaneously coordinating all vendors yet also by our side helping with whatever we needed - grabbing drinks, conducting bun CPR when my veil crushed it, getting lipstick out of my dress, she really covered it all! Wedding planning has a reputation for being stressful, but the planning process was such a joy with Lissa.

Lissa is an expert on all things wedding! She will make sure you are the number one priority and will ease any stress you have about the day. She will also give you great vendor recommendations, discount codes, will reply to 5+ emails
somedays, and does it all with a smile. She will even help bustle your dress on the day of when nobody else can remember how :) I am so grateful that we hired Lissa to be our wedding planner. My wedding went so smoothly thanks to her and her wonderful team!

Working with Lissa on two daughters’ weddings within eight months was an absolute, complete and total pleasure! She is such a hands-on planner and doesn’t miss a beat! Her services before and leading up to the wedding and then on the actual wedding day were perfect in every way! I cannot possibly recommend her highly enough! *****

Bringing in Lissa and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the start, Lissa made planning feel smooth and manageable. She was incredibly responsive, supportive, and always willing to hop on a call, which gave me so much peace of mind—especially in those final weeks. Our wedding day was flawless. Lissa's team handled everything seamlessly including a lot of extra coordination with vendors and the venue due to a parade in DC on the same day. Many of our bridal party members even commented on how smooth and well-run the day felt. Lissa & her team's professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made the entire experience so positive. We’re endlessly grateful—if you’re considering working with her, do it! You’ll be in the best hands.

Lissa and her team did an amazing job! I definitely recommend booking !!!!!
