    Perfectly Planned Vow Renewal

    My kids and I wanted to surprise my wife with vow renewal on our 25th anniversary while on the island of Aruba. I did some looking here and elsewhere and found glowing reviews on Lissy and her team so, sight unseen, I hired them to plan it. It was a great decision. Lissy let me have exactly what I wanted and none of what I didn't. Our kids officiated, and the setup on the beach between the Fofoti trees at sunset was perfect. Suzanne took great pictures, and Lissy took care of the setup, flowers, sand ceremony, and managing our area of the beach to keep people out of our private ceremony and pictures. The only stress I had that day was hoping my wife would say "Yes!" (and she did!) If you are planning a destination wedding or vow renewal in Aruba, be sure to reach out to Lissy and her company. You'll be glad you did!

    Very professional and kind

    We hired Lissy and her team for our dream beach wedding in Aruba. They are very kind, honest and always quickly respond to questions or suggestions.
    Our wedding was supposed to be near the famous Fofoti trees, but unfortunately the Beach Polis had a double booking for the same venue. The team decided to move the venue to Eagle Beach which was even more beautiful (recommended btw!). During the 'moving' Lissy and her team kept us continuely posted (while we were getting ready) about what was happening or what was going to happen, which was very comforting.

    Thank you C&C for our most memorable experience. You really are the best!

    Kind Regards,
    O&N

Stay Well .. Stay Healthy and Come back soon!!! Sincerely, Lissy, Cookie and Marlon and the rest of the C&C in Aruba crew!!!

    We hired Ceremonies and Celebrations for our Aruba wedding which was held May 18, 2018. Lissy was a pleasure to work with. She also hires excellent vendors on your behalf. We had a civil wedding and she made the process as smooth as possible and when it came time for the civil wedding, we didn’t have to bring anything with us, just show up! We had the driftwood theme beach set up and it was beautiful! The car service, hair and makeup, photographer, and beach decorators were all amazing. We had a non-religious officiant and he was amazing as well. This was so stress-free. We were truest able to relax and enjoy the whole process. I HIGHLY recommend ceremonies & celebrations. Thank you Lissy!!

It really was an honor and pleasure .. Stay well and remember to continue to take great care of each other! Love, Hugs and Kisses! Sincerely, Lissy

    I HIGHLY recommend Ceremonies & Celebrations if you are getting married in Aruba! Lissy is a dream come true! She offers a wide assortment of options for your beach ceremony...our's was very small and intimate. Therefore, I was looking for simple and elegant, and found that Lissy provided exactly what we wanted down to the small details without having to pay for a bunch of things we didn't want. It was easy to get everything planned via email from the states and contract put into place.
    We met when we arrived on the island (I think we could have talked for hours- she is so fun) to go through all of the last minute details and I had no worries that our wedding would be perfection. Lissy made sure everything was in place and nothing would mess up our wedding:-)
    We had a beautiful wedding on a breathtaking island, with a wonderful minister, beautiful flowers and I could go on and on......Lissy made sure there were only tears of happiness on our big day. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with others ... And Thank you also for choosing Aruba and our services for the creation of your big day! It was our pleasure! Hugs and Kisses!!!!

    I highly recommend Ceremonies & Celebrations if you are getting married in Aruba! My fiancé Mike and I got engaged 7/7/15 and decided we wanted to get married where we had our first big vacation as a couple... ARUBA! I contacted Lissy, the wedding planner and told her Mike and I were coming to the island that July, 2015 to seek a location for our July 2016 wedding! Lissy met us at our hotel and drove us to different locations. We fell in love with Aruba Surf Side Marina and decided this was the place for us. Ianthe, at Surf Side Marina, worked closely with Lissy to make our dreams come true. Both women were punctual with email responses and had great advice. Lissy helped us set up a sunset sail as a way to thank our guests for coming. We did the sunset sail the night before our wedding in replace of a rehearsal dinner! Our guests were so grateful of such a beautiful sail in the Caribbean which had cocktails and snacks. Upon the wedding day everything was great. Both Lissy and Ianthe called me that morning to make sure my flowers, make up and hair dressers had arrived. The hair and make up came out GREAT and the flowers were so BEAUTIFUL. Ceremonies & Celebrations as well as Surf Side Marina both deserve a HUGE thank you for making our wedding an amazing one. Everyone had such a great time. The set up and ambiance was beautiful, the food was great and the staff was welcoming and professional. We absolutely LOVED everything. I have recommended them to anyone wishing to get married in Aruba… I think we convinced a few people to do it ;) The amount of guests that gushed over how much fun our wedding was, was incredible. Last but not least, we fortunately had 90 guests willing to travel to Aruba, which made our wedding that much more special. The island speaks for itself, once people go, they always go back.

    If you are a bride with a vision, send pictures to Lissy and she will make your dreams come true <3

    Ceremonies & Celebrations in Aruba's reply:

    Wow Christie .. Thank you so much for this most wonderful review .. It was our pleasure ... We enjoyed the planning and your wedding day to the fullest and would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for choosing Aruba, the Aruba Surfside Marina and our services of Ceremonies & Celebrations in Aruba to set up this most important day in your lives. Big hugs ...

    I highly recommend Lissy Lampe and Ceremonies and Celebrations. We got married on January 11. Everything was perfect. The communication with Lissy through email was prompt. It's difficult for me to let someone else in control. I could not have done this myself. Things were tough getting the forms we needed, basically because we were both married before, and I was about to forget the whole thing and just get married in our hometown. But Lissy helped me the whole way through. She encouraged me not to give up. It would all be worth it in the end. And she was absolutely correct. We had a simple wedding on the beach at the Amsterdam Manor, but was beautiful. The ceremony at the town hall was more than anyone expected. It was beautifully done. We had 20 guests and they are talking about how beautiful everything was. They liked how professional Lissy was. If you are thinking about having a destination wedding in Aruba, I would go with Lissy Lampe. I cannot thank her enough for a perfect day!!!!

    My husband and I worked with Lissy Lampe to hold our dream wedding in Aruba this past May, and I truly could not have asked for a more wonderful wedding coordinator. We hosted a Catholic ceremony with approx. 40 guests and a reception at the Manchebo Resort to follow, and everything came together seamlessly. I have an extremely demanding career, and as a result I ended up relying on Lissy exclusively to hire all of the vendors; everything was perfect and I could not have done a better or more thorough job myself. From the transportation, to the photographer, to the music, to the florist, to the hair/make-up technicians….everyone was ultra-professional, on-time, and on-budget. Even my bouquet was exactly as I pictured in my mind, despite giving Lissy little more than a small snapshot I found on Pinterest by way of guidance.

    I would absolutely recommend Lissy and her team to anyone considering hosting an event in Aruba. I’m sure that my husband and I will find an excuse to use her services in the future!

    WOW! A year has already passed since our wedding and we can't imagine reminiscing on a better day of our lives! LISSY was absolutely amazing! We were looking to elope somewhere tropical and were somewhat worried about how a destination wedding could turn out. We trusted our gut and couldn't have been happier with Lissy. She made things so easy. We could ask her anything and she would be so prompt to respond. Our wedding was exactly how we pictured it and Lissy had every detail covered. She's not only affordable, but helpful in so many ways. Thank you again Lissy for making our dream day spectacular!!

    Lissy Lampe from Ceremonies & Celebrations in Aruba was amazing. I decided to have my wedding at the Amsterdam Beach Manor. After emailing them, Anne, the wedding coordinator emailed me back within hours with information and Lissy's information. Within another hour, Lissy emailed me back. I was so impressed with their eagerness to respond so quickly.

    Lissy laid everything out easily for me and made my decisions very easy. I sent her pictures of ideas for the wedding and she made it happen. What I truly enjoyed is her expertise. I wanted a specific flower arrangements for the centerpieces. She was honest and let me know that the wind probably would knock them down. She then emailed me a picture of centerpieces that were almost exactly what I send her in other containers. They looked perfect. She even added lighting to the centerpieces. They eccentuated the reception perfectly!

    During our meeting a couple days before the wedding, Lissy brought the photographer to the meeting to button up any questions I may have. And then Anne, Amsterdam wedding coordinator, joined us to make sure we were all on the same page. They really were the dynamic duo. All my questions were answered and even questions that I wouldn't even think to ask, were answered.

    If you are having a wedding in Aruba, even if it's not at the Amsterdam Beach Manor, do yourself a favor, contact Lissy Lampe from Ceremonies & Celebrations in Aruba. You will not be disappointed and she will make sure every detail is done perfectly and you can enjoy your day stress free. Thanks Lissy!!!

    Lissy was absolutely fantastic - she is the ONLY wedding planner to use if you are planning to get married in Aruba. Her nickname is "General Lampe" - but that is a great thing to have for a wedding. She was attentive to our needs, responsive to email, a pleasure to meet with, and truly put us at ease that our special day was going to be memorable and wonderful. She gave us advice when we asked for it, provided us with recommendations of things we would have never thought of, and was just a pleasure to be around. The best part about Lissy - the wedding planning is more than just a job for her - she takes everything very personally - her life is dedicated to making our day special, and that genuine approach is what makes her so great.
    We can't say enough great things about Lissy, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a wedding. Put your faith in Lissy and you will NOT be disappointed. Thanks to Lissy, we had the wedding of our dreams (everyone was raving over everything - it was absolutely perfect). And more importantly, we made a friend for life in Lissy. There is no doubt in my mind that we will stay in touch with Lissy and we will see her again when we return to Aruba on one of our annual trips. THANK YOU LISSY FOR EVERYTHING! YOU ARE THE BEST!

    Making plans from Ohio/USA to do a surprise Beach Blessing in ARUBA was no easy task to pull off but Lissy and her amazing team of professionals made every dream of our wedding day come true. Doing this only by e-mail and have never been to ARUBA I had to place my trust in her fully and she made our day exactly the way we wanted. She took our ideas, added her wonderful suggestions and it turned out simply AMAZING!. The most fun was watching my family's face when we all met down at Eagle Beach for a " group sunset photo" (Lissys' great idea to get them all down there) and one of my sisters asked Lissy if she knew where we should meet for a group photo I had signed us up for and Lissys response to her was 'well if your Kim & Greg this will be a wedding photo" and the look of surprise on all their faces was priceless. It was exactly the fun we were looking to have on our day and share with our family. Everything was just perfect and we cannot thank Lissy enough for being such a huge part of our most special day. The memories she created will be a part of 'our wedding story' for our lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and I would highly recommend anyone wanting to have the perfect ARUBA wedding to make you their planner so they can relax and enjoy their day as you got this!!!!! xo Mr. & Mrs. Gregory Muszynski

    I chose Lissy Lampe and Ceremonies & Celebrations after reading positive reviews on weddingwire - these reviews did not prepare me for how amazing Lissy and her team are. For nine months before the wedding, we spoke on the phone and traded emails on a regular basis to plan every detail of the wedding. While my other friends have been completely stressed out planning their wedding, I truly had a lot of trust in Lissy and her team.

    One week before the wedding, we met for the first time. Lissy was organized, professional and was really forthcoming with her opinions and recommendations. I had no doubt that everything was under control. The day of the wedding, we had both a civil ceremony and a beach blessing - every detail, no matter how small, was taken care of - I didn't have to worry about a thing. The wedding was truly amazing - all of our guests had an amazing time. I owe everything to Lissy - her experience, proactiveness and professionalism made this an unforgettable experience for me and my husband. We could not have asked for more.

    Our wedding day was SOOO AMAZING and Perfect!!! There are no other words to describe it. It was everything we had dreamed about and more thanks to Lissy Lampe and her team. Lissy is AMAZING!! I had been in contact with Lissy for months and I mean months via email. We did get to meet up once when we went to Aruba to check everything out months before the wedding. When you meet her, you feel like you have known her forever. She's so great! She got back to every email I sent with either a question or an answer to something. It was unreal how prompt she responded and with great detail. She just made everything so easy and fun. I trusted Lissy so much and she delivered times 100. You never know about certain things when planning a destination wedding (we live in Boston) but needless to say when it came to our wedding day everything was perfect. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner to go through this whole process with and we feel truly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her. I HIGHLY recommend her and her team to help plan your wedding. You will NOT be disappointed!! So, I cannot thank Lissy and her team enough for ALL they did to make our day so special and a day we will NEVER forget!! Thank you will never be enough!! :)

    Lissy and her team are AMAZING! Her communication is clear, quick, and thorough and she certainly has a way of making people feel super comfortable and taken care of. Lissy helped make our ideas and dreams a reality...down to the very last detail! I truly don't know how she did it! The vendors she works closely with are all professionals who love and take pride in what they do - you can tell that there is a mutual respect for all. Lissy encompasses all that we love about Aruba. She went above and beyond to make our day special...we could not ask for anything more.

    ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!! Lissy Lampe along with Amsterdam Manor's Anne Maduro created a true DREAM WEDDING for me <3
    I planned this wedding via email with both and put my faith and trust in them. Lissy took care of flowers, photographer, DJ, Brass Band (specially requested by my father), wedding cake, ceremony overall, legal paperwork, hair dress/make up artist, she even went out of her way to get me pale and shovels (special request) for the children who attended the wedding which kept them entertained. Anne took care of the food, bar, reception services (Staff was amazing), reception set up (my reception was on the beach) Passions on the beach. They were both absolutely amazing and would recommend to anyone and everyone who wants to have a destination wedding in ARUBA!!! I couldn't ask for more. I am truly blessed to have chosen them to make my dream wedding a reality. All guests were mesmerized and so were we. John and Juliette Velastegui

    This typically isn't my thing, but I felt the need to write a review after the great experience my wife and I had planning our wedding with Lissy Lampe. The wedding couldn't have been better, and Lissy's expertise and experience played a large part.

    Lissy was a great help working with the manager of the Surfside Marina, where the wedding was held. Her suggestions and accompanying explanations regarding our options and how to plan for what we wanted were a huge help when it came to working through all the details associated with the ceremony, cocktail hour, etc ... She was always reachable, and not once did we ever get her voice mail when we called during our wedding week.

    Overall I would highly recommend Lissy to anyone looking to plan a wedding (destination or otherwise) in Aruba.

    Lissy came highly recommended from friends we have in Aruba. She was very easy to get in touch with, and knows very much about the island. She was able to set up most of our arrangements, as we were not able to visit Aruba between our engagement and the wedding events! She set up and arranged for our venue (the beach at the divi phonix resort) as well as keeping on top of our caterer (from outside the divi resort) and the flowers and decorations and guest transportation to and from the airport and the wedding events. She also kept track of and organized our civilhouse ceremony (a must in Aruba).

    While perhaps the company runs on "island time," everything on the island does. Numerous emails were sent back and forth, and everything turned out beautifully, with little worry. You can be as specific as you like (what we wanted was quite different from the normal wedding) and they will try to accomodate each request.
