Best Planner!

We could not have been happier with our experience with Lili at Riley Loves Lulu! Lili helped us through the entire process with great recommendations for vendors, timely responses to our questions, and a professional approach. Best of all, she has a very positive attitude that made the lead up to our wedding stress free and a lot of fun. Lastly, Lili took care of EVERYTHING on the day of the wedding. We didn't have to think about the planning at all and could just enjoy our special day. Thank you so much Lili!

RileyLovesLulu (Jess and Lisa)

RileylovesLulu is the BEST!! We had a logistically complex wedding (guests staying at various hotels with transportation to and from ceremony, reception, etc) and Lisa and Jess made our day seamless.

In addition, Lisa and Jess created an aesthetic for our wedding day that we never knew we needed. We did not have a specific vision for tablescape, etc. They completely took rentals/aesthetic off of our plate and absolutely nailed it. Our guests are still talking about the beautiful tablecloths they chose (seriously!!)

The best part about having Lisa and Jess is that they will allow you to have ample fun on your wedding day. Their kind, thoughtful, humorous energy alone will put you at ease, in addition to their organizational skills and expertise in wedding day logistics.

We have been hearing from our guests that our wedding was amongst the best they’ve been to and how seamless everything went- we truly owe this all to Lisa and Jess! Hire RileylovesLulu to execute your absolute dream wedding day!

5 Star Wedding Planning

We truly were blessed by Makena at Riley Loves Lulu! Makena went above and beyond from a year before our special day, sharing our vision, getting the best vendors we felt were like family to us on our wedding day. The florist was the most gorgeous flowers I ever seen, the photographer and videographer were 5 star. Makena's expertise and planning tools as well as overall coordination was beyond excellent! She provided design tools to show us the exact layout and design look and feel of our venue down to the decorations and made our dream come to life, her monthly weekly planner with budget tracker were extremely valuable to make sure that we were on time and kept to our planned budget. And then there is Makena herself she is an exceptional person both professionally and personally , honestly my bridal party and I wanted to keep her on our group chats as a friend forever, she is special and will make your wedding more then you ever imagined tku Makena and the Riley Loves Lulu team!
