Truly the best!

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!

Absolutely Amazing!

Working with Lissa and Erin was truly one of the most incredible parts of our wedding journey! From the very beginning, they made the entire planning process feel so much easier, smoother, and less stressful. They are both absolutely amazing at what they do, and I cannot recommend them enough to any couple looking for a team that will go above and beyond to make their wedding dreams come true.

Lissa and Erin are genuinely dedicated to bringing your vision to life. Their creativity, energy, compassion, empathy, and passion are truly incomparable. They put their whole hearts into everything they do and are endlessly devoted to their couples, always making themselves available and going above and beyond, day and night, to ensure every detail is perfect. You never have to question whether they have your best interests at heart because they make you feel supported, heard, and cared for every step of the way.

One of the things that makes them so special is that their care and dedication do not end when the wedding day is over. Even after the celebrations have come to an end, Lissa and Erin continue to keep in touch, check in on their couples, and make sure you feel supported. The fact that they remain so invested in their clients long after the wedding speaks volumes about who they are and how genuinely they care about the relationships they build. You are not just another couple to them; you become people they truly care about, and that level of thoughtfulness is so rare and special.

Another thing that meant so much to us was that their care extended beyond just my husband and me. They were equally thoughtful and attentive to our families, making sure everyone felt included, supported, and taken care of throughout the process. That level of compassion and dedication is something truly special and speaks volumes about the kind of people they are.

Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and knowing we had such reliable, talented, and trustworthy planners by our side allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. They took our vision and brought it to life in ways that exceeded our expectations.

Honestly, my husband and I genuinely miss our meetings with Lissa and Erin! That alone says so much about the relationships they build with their couples. They became so much more than wedding planners to us; they were a source of comfort, excitement, reassurance, and joy throughout one of the most meaningful seasons of our lives. Even now, their continued thoughtfulness and willingness to check in remind us how lucky we were to have them as part of our journey.

If you are looking for a team that will make your wedding planning experience seamless, bring your vision to life, take care of you and your family, and allow you to truly enjoy your wedding day stress-free, Lissa and Erin are the team you want by your side.

We are so grateful we had Lissa and Erin as part of our journey and could not recommend them more highly. We are especially thankful for the unique contributions, care, and dedication each of them brought to our experience. They are truly exceptional at what they do, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with them!

The best wedding planner!!!

We made the decision to hire Lissa for partial wedding planning and I am SO thankful that we did that!!! From our first meeting until well after our wedding day, Lissa was so supportive, communicative, friendly, fun, professional, and helped to make our special day come to life in the best way!! She made the planning process so easy and took care of everything during our wedding weekend, so we and our loved ones could be fully present in the moment. I highly highly recommend hiring Lissa, as her depth of knowledge and professionalism are truly unmatched!

I had the pleasure of working with Lissa a few weeks ago...

And I cannot say enough nice things. Great partner, start to end, a consummate pro, and unflappable. I know our mutual client, the bride and groom, adored and trusted her. 10/10 would do it again!

Lissa is awesome, so responsive, knowledgeable, organized, flexible, kind, great to work with

Lissa was awesome to work with as our part time wedding planner. We had a great experience working with Lissa!

Lissa was organized, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. We live in California, so it was very helpful to have Lissa's understanding of the DC area wedding scene. Lissa had a great list of vendor recommendations and coordinated seamlessly with all of them, so we didn't have to worry about it. She kept us focused and stayed calm, giving us confidence that she had everything handled (which she did of course).

On the wedding day, Lissa and her team were exceptional. They kept the timeline running smoothly, kept us in the loop on the schedule, and allowed us to enjoy the day with family and friends. Lissa was great at planning the wedding before the wedding day, but she was even better on the wedding day, which was really important. Being care free on the wedding day was a big help and very nice!

Lissa is awesome, and I'd definitely recommend her. We are very grateful we worked with Lissa for our wedding!

Partial Planning Package but Full Support

We did partial planning while both working full time, and we worried about balancing it all — but Lissa's team made it easy. They were reasonably priced and went above and beyond at every turn: knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to chase down the vendors we wanted.
Our coordinator, Erin, was brilliant. Organized, on top of every detail, and someone we trusted completely. When she had to step out at the last minute, Juliana picked things up seamlessly — her attention to detail was incredible, and she coordinated our day-of activities beautifully.
Thanks to this team, our wedding day was everything we hoped for. Five stars without hesitation.

Lissa is THE BEST!!!

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. ❤️

Your biggest wedding cheerleader!

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!!!

Best Wedding Planner Ever!

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!

Sophia and Luke’s Wedding

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.
