I am writing this on our way to our honeymoon because I am still smiling over this past weekend working with creative concepts, I could not wait till we came back to write a review. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lisa and her team at creative concepts for our October 12th wedding. From the moment we started working with her she was determined to make every detail come to life. That all came true the day of our wedding. From her team being there every second of the day, making us feel calm, excited, and taken care of. We did not have to think of a single thing but to enjoy our special day. If you are thinking of working with creative concept, DO IT. It was the best decision of my life. It is the reason we had the absolute best night of our entire life that we will forever be grateful for because of Lisa and her team. We could not do it without you Lisa, we will forever remember the best day of our life because of all the hard work, effort, time that was put into our day!! We LOVE LOVE LOVE creative concepts!!

**HIRE LISA** No, really you have to! I will start this review by saying we hired the wrong event planner for the first 6 months of planning . We started with hiring Pink Olive in Cheshire CT, and that was a very bad decision. Please don’t hire Pink Olive whatever you do, but I highly recommend Creative Concepts by Lisa!!!
We are beyond grateful we got out of our contract at Pink Olive and found Lisa. She’s the one you want to hire to ensure your day is planned meticulously and you’ll have a blast doing it! We had a challenging outdoor venue coupled with a tight timeline with a church that was over an hour away from the reception venue . There were a lot of details that required brainstorming, compromises, and creativity to pull off everything smoothly! Lisa organized many vendors to be coordinated while we were at our church ceremony - she and her team knocked it out of the park! From the start of the process , she asked the right questions, helped us with a vision board, and helped tie together all the loose ends (which were started elsewhere) to create the most magical day ever! Not only is Lisa professional and talented …. She is so fun to work with! Every time we would zoom or talk - I would laugh. What bride doesn’t need that ?? The day was perfect and we have Lisa to thank for this ! We adore her and you will too!!

Without Lisa and the team, our wedding day would not have run as smoothly and I would absolutely not have been able to enjoy the event. Chelsea took care of all of our bridal party needs, and Ann and Lisa handled the set up, ceremony, reception, and clean up like true professionals. The timeline was impeccable and every moment was orchestrated to perfection. If you’re looking for a team that cares about you, your guests, your happiness, and works their butts off, this is it! Mother of the bride’s quote, “This was the best day of my life.” As the bride, I wholeheartedly agree. I got to marry my best friend, with the support of the best wedding team in the business. -

We recently had the total pleasure of working with Lisa, Traci, Chrissy and Kelly as my daughter's wedding planners. They made our special day an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met them, they exuded professionalism and expertise, immediately putting us at ease. I cannot stress enough how much their services contributed to making our wedding planning journey stress-free and enjoyable.
One of the standout qualities of Creative Concepts by Lisa and team was their ability to maintain a constant smile throughout the entire process. Their infectious positivity was uplifting and reassuring, even during moments of uncertainty, rain, heat and general stress. It was evident that they genuinely cared about our happiness and wanted to make our wedding day extraordinary.
What truly sets this wedding planner apart is their understanding of the importance of the day. They listened attentively to our vision and desires, offering invaluable suggestions that perfectly captured our dreams. Their ability to juxtapose different elements, such as traditional and contemporary styles, resulted in a wedding that felt uniquely personalized to us. Every detail was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, creating a breathtaking ambiance that exceeded our expectations.
Beyond their remarkable creativity, this wedding planner demonstrated exceptional understanding of family dynamics. They navigated complex relationships and diverse personalities with grace and tact, ensuring that everyone felt included and valued. Their ability to harmoniously blend different perspectives and preferences was nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to their expertise, our wedding day was a celebration that united our families in joy and love.
Throughout the entire process, the wedding planner assembled a skilled and dedicated team. From florists to caterers, they worked with every vendor which may not be always easy. I felt all interactions was top-notch and everyone seemed happy and shared the same commitment to excellence for our event. This cohesive team worked seamlessly together, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding day ran smoothly. It seems evident that CCBL is highly respected within the industry, and their experience undoubtedly benefited us and reassured us. Every "problem" I presented during the event was quickly dealt with and remedied.
I highly recommend Lisa and team to any couple or parents embarking on the journey of marriage. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering support will make your wedding planning experience not only stress-free but enjoyable. Trust me when I say that they are worth every penny and more. Their expertise and dedication will turn your dream wedding into a reality, leaving you with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Writing a review for them is easy, I will miss them taking care of me and most especially making all our dreams and visions a beautiful reality right up to well after all the guests are home.
To summarize, working with this wedding planner was an absolute joy. Their ability to create a stress-free environment, their infectious smile, their understanding of the day's importance, their adeptness in managing family dynamics, and their phenomenal team all contributed to an extraordinary wedding experience. They come highly recommended by us, and I can confidently say that investing in their services would be worth every penny. -

Now that the greatest wedding of all time, dated 06/01/23, has come and gone, it is imperative that I tell you about the team behind the scenes. From the time we reached out to Lisa in 2020 up until the day of the wedding, she had made my husband and I priority. She responded in a timely manner and always kept it professional. It was always what WE wanted. Of course she’d give her expert advice, however, she made sure to get our opinions on every aspect of the planning process. Just like everything else in life, we had a budget for our special day. There were a few vendors that my husband and I were looking into who had amazing work but they were definitely outside of our budget. Lisa had a list of preferred vendors whose prices were very reasonable and we decided to contract with them. Each preferred vendor took time to get to know us and took our likes and dislikes into consideration and we loved that about them. We are so grateful for Lisa, Traci and the rest of the CCBL team for planning THE BEST day of our lives and making sure it was nothing less than PERFECT! We got sooooo many compliments on our big day from the decor to the smooth flow of the wedding day, start to finish. If you want the best for your wedding day then I recommend Lisa and her team. Have an idea of what you want for your big day, a budget that fits your financial status, and you’ll be golden with this team backing you up! We absolutely LOVE Lisa and the CCBL team and you will too! -

Lisa and her team did a fantastic job at our Jewish-Korean wedding. She’s Not only very familiar with Jewish wedding traditions that the bride wasn’t familiar with, but also eager to learn more about Korean culture. When we decided to wear the traditional Korean ‘Han Bok’ for the wedding attire, she FaceTimed us multiple times to go over the color, pattern, and overall design that works well with the wedding theme with the hanbok designer. She suggested the perfect venue with amazing prices and conditions. Her vendors - Photographers, DJ, Caterer, and even last-minute planning changes for the dinner with guests the night before the wedding are easy to work with and provide excellent results. All of our ‘out of ordinary’ questions and requests, Lisa and her team came up with creative solutions. Lisa would be the first contact for all our future significant events. -

Kendra Sent on 06/12/2023Lisa & her team is the best of the best!
There are literally a million reasons why working with Creative Concepts by Lisa was the best decision we've ever made. Lisa & her team are the best of the best - industry experts, organized, thoughtful and FUN. But to me, the most valuable aspect of working with Lisa was this -
Immediately upon getting engaged, I (like many of you reading this) was instantly inundated with all sorts of advice from friends & family, the most common of which was "try to soak in every moment of your wedding day - you're going to blink and then it'll be over." As a bride, I hated hearing this! I didn't want the day to fly by, and I wanted to feel fully present on my wedding day - especially after months and months of planning. We got married on May 19, 2023 and I am SO thrilled to report that because of Lisa, Marcy, Ann & Traci, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every. single. moment. of our wedding day. In fact, the day didn't fly by at all! We were able to focus solely on all the love that surrounded us - I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING because Lisa's team did it all quietly & seamlessly. As a bride, what more can you ask for? Lisa & her team gave us the incredible gift of TIME to sit back and enjoy the most wonderful day of our lives.
From the moment we hired her, I immediately felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Suddenly I was able to focus on the "fun stuff" because I knew that Lisa was handling all of the little things - some of which I hadn't even thought of! Truly don't know what we would've done without her. In Lisa, we found a dedicated planner, a lifelong friend, and an incredibly bright, shining star in the crazy world that is the wedding industry…and we're eternally grateful. -

It was an absolute honor to have Lisa as our wedding planner for our 10/29/22 wedding. She exceeded our expectations throughout the whole process of planning by being organized, accessible, attentive to detail, caring for everyone involved, and making sure all of my dreams and plans were going to be executed perfectly. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of everything and made the whole day enjoyable. Simply her presence throughout the venue was assured that every part of the wedding would run smoothly. I love her passion for organizing weddings and coordinating them with excellence and professionalism. From the moment I met her, I knew that I could fully trust her. Overall, she is a kind, loving, and caring person to know; it was such a pleasure to get to know her for one of the most important events of our lives. My husband and I are extremely grateful to her and her expertise. So much so that I didn't think I’d be able to find words to describe how truly amazing she is! Also, she has an incredible team that works alongside her and I loved that she made all the vendors feel like they were part of the team as well. She has a gift for bringing groups together to accomplish a goal. Lisa and the entire Creative Concepts team will always have a place in our hearts and have contributed to our wonderful lifelong wedding memories! I recommend Creative Concepts (10/10!) to all brides! -

Lisa helped me plan my June 2022 wedding at Eolia Mansion. Her and her team are truly amazing. My wedding was everything I could have dreamed of and more and I literally could not have done it without her. I work off hours and she was so accommodating to my schedule during the planning process which I was very grateful for. She communicated with my vendors and organized everything on the actual day without me having to think about all the little details. I could not be more thankful for everything she’s done for me and for making my wedding a dream. I would recommend her 100x over. -

Katie Sent on 10/05/2022Would not have survived the day if it wasn't for Lisa and her team!!
I truly cannot say enough about Lisa and her team! Our wedding day went off without a hitch, and everyone raved about how well-organized and fun our wedding was!
Let me start off by saying that I initially thought that getting a planner/coordinator was a bit ridiculous, but when there was only 2 months left until the wedding, my meetings with Lisa definitely left me feeling like everything was being considered and taken care of. I was not forced to do anything that I didn't want to do. Our wedding was truly "ours."
Shout out to Lisa, Marcy, Anne, and Anastasia! They made the day so simple! Also, I am sure that they put out many "fires" that I didn't even know were occurring. I would recommend them to anyone. Lisa truly is the best of the best. She is so professional and knows her stuff! I am so thankful for her and the entire CCBL team! -

CCBL helped plan our July 2022 wedding at Eolia Mansion and Lisa was amazing to work with! Lisa’s confidence and bubbly/energetic personality made me feel immediately comfortable with her.
She has been in the business for awhile and has a ton of relationships with vendors. If you tell her what your vision is, she will make it come true…..from the most perfect band or DJ, to the most gorgeous and out of control flowers, to the tiny little décor details and flow of the day. I showed Lisa 1 picture and she made it a reality. She came up with the most thoughtful ideas – instead of escort cards we used bud vases, with name tags, to guide guests to their seats. And for table décor/favors Lisa suggested marble coasters and asked our calligrapher to write guest names on each.
SO many of our family and friends approached us and said that every little detail of the day was perfectly executed. Lisa and her team were so easy to communicate with and extremely responsive. HIGHLY recommend!! -

Kathryn Sent on 10/02/2022Lisa is a masterclass on professionalism, kindness, organization, crisis management, and finesse.
This is the easiest, most heartfelt, and important review I have ever written. If I am honest, I started writing this review before my wedding because of how important Lisa was to me and I didn't want to miss a thing. My wedding was Saturday, September 10th and the first thing I thought about the morning after my wedding was Lisa and the team she brought to my day and how they made everything look so seamless.
Outside of saying yes to my husband, Lisa is the best decision I have ever made and I don't say that lightly. Despite getting pushback on hiring a planner, the minute I met Lisa, I knew I needed her. She’s a complete powerhouse.
I wanted someone showing up that day focused on my husband and I. The venue has priorities, catering has priorities, our families have priorities and I wanted someone in my corner covering my tracks if I dropped balls, and a sounding board as I navigated a once in a lifetime event. That’s scratching the surface of what I got with Lisa. She is all I could have dreamed of plus a million more things! DON'T THINK, JUST BOOK LISA!
Lisa is a masterclass on professionalism, kindness, organization, crisis management, and finesse. She keeps it real, highlights things that are important, and things that you can pass on all along with a nonchalant and humorous approach. Her value came through immediately and increased every time I spoke with her. She was available for questions, guided me in making decisions, and served as an invaluable sounding board as issues arose. It doesn't matter the state I was in getting onto a call with her (anxious, stressed, sad, mad) or what was happening, I left each and every call confident and optimistic that our wedding would be a great day with her at the helm. You can not put a value on that feeling and having someone by your side in this process!!
I'm not an event planner, have never planned anything at this scale, and was frankly way outside my element. With both my husband and I working full time and a venue that required us to bring in everything that day, it would have been impossible to manage every detail such as "how much electricity does each vendor require" or "flow of the day" while somehow remaining excited about the whole reason for it all, that we have found the person we want to spend the rest of our life with. I can see how couples lose joy in the process. Enter Lisa, who leds with her calming presence and empathy, while acting as your biggest advocate and lead blocker.
Separately, we had an especially difficult vendor who brought me to tears on multiple occasions and could have derailed our entire event. If I had been in this alone, I would have been a basket case. Lisa would show up to any adversity in our process with a proactive assess, and say "Don't worry, I got this" and she did. She showed up direct, professional, and continued to tell us "you two are my priority, I don't care about anyone or anything else". To hear that during such a stressful time when you are getting pulled into a million and one different directions, is invaluable.
I have tears in my eyes writing this review and thinking about how much comfort, knowledge, solace, support, and invaluable expertise Lisa provided me. I don't know what my day or mental state would have been like without her and thank my lucky stars I had her by my side.
If you're reading this and considering hiring Lisa and a planner, the best thing you can do for yourself and your event is hire Lisa & her team. Not only is she spectacular at her craft but truly does care about you. You'll feel it on your first call with her and it will carry through the process. Everyone needs a Lisa in their life and especially on the most important day of your life!
A perfect rating doesn't just happen, it requires expertise and commitment to your craft, a strong work ethic, and top notch customer service. That doesn't even begin to cover it with Lisa. She is hardworking (probably too much so, I don't think she has had a day off in years), attentive, accessible, knowledgeable, all along with a sense of humor and easy going, we got this kind of approach.
Not to mention, her team!! Lisa was my right hand for planning and the sound of her voice on my wedding day made me burst into tears but HER TEAM, MY GOD!!! Shout out to Kelly, Chelsea and Marcy! Talk about complete ROCKSTARS!! There are no weak links with Lisa’s team, they are the smartest, warmest, most boss ladies you’ll ever come across.
Given her perfect rating, she doesn't need my review and there aren’t words to the fully capture the impact she made. I struck gold twice. Once, finding my husband then finding Lisa. She saved me, truly. -

You need lisa!
Lisa is the not only the most talented, experienced, and hard-working wedding planner you will ever meet. She is the most responsive communicator, a shining light and a force of a human who will quickly become your friend, confidant, and keep you laughing and smiling throughout every point of the process. Lisa will stop at nothing to plan and produce the wedding of your dreams. My husband and I dreamed of a larger-than-life 200 person black tie wedding-turned-rock concert in a 100 year old club. Lisa was THE PERFECT PERSON to work with. She created a full-scale production, blew all expectations out of the water, built a legendary vendor dream team, and drove with a level of preparation/preparedness so we felt only pure bliss on our wedding day. Lisa went above and beyond the role of a wedding planner in every aspect imaginable. Planning, design, expertise, education/advice, orchestration, and day-of execution only scratches the surface - and Lisa executes with world-class professionalism, grace, and her beaming personality. It was truly the best day of our lives.
Lisa - you are the one of the most talented people in this world. You work harder than anyone I've ever met, your communication is fast as lighting and effective, and your shining light of a personality is evident in the lifelong friendships and business relationships you've built. You handled every request, challenge, change of mind, and detail with your incredible personality, sense of humor, and determination. Your expertise, work ethic, and passion for celebrating love is evident in the work that you, the incredible CCBL team, and the vendor relationships that you've built over the past 13+ years. You were my rock when I needed it and won over every single person in our families (and the many personalities) while exceeding expectations to make our dreams come true. Every call, meeting, zoom, text, and email had us smiling and laughing all while you worked nonstop. We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you and the amazing CCBL team, watch you create magic, and gain a friend for life. THANK YOU LISA 🤍 -

You Need Lisa!!
There was no better decision we made than to hire Lisa and her team for our wedding. They are incredibly organized, hard working and need no hand holding. Lisa coordinates everything between vendors, makes game time decisions, makes sure everything runs smoothly and, most importantly, makes sure you have nothing to worry about the day of your wedding. Words can't express our gratitude towards Lisa and her team. They are next level. When I say you need Lisa on your wedding team, I mean you NEED her!! -

Emily Sent on 12/30/2021Lisa is THE ONE - I would choose her again and again
Hiring Lisa was the best decision my mom and I made in my entire wedding. Lisa is a dream planner: she's got the magic touch that lets her navigate every personality involved in a wedding and leave each person feeling fully satisfied; she and her team are meticulously organized and will think of every detail so you don't have to; she is wildly experienced and frequently interviewed as a wedding expert (and can pull miracles out of a hat); and above all she is a GEM because she is the Italian mother you never knew you needed who will laugh with you and give you a shoulder to cry on whenever you need. Lisa goes so far above and beyond. She helped us through not one, but TWO date changes due to covid and all of the logistical chaos that comes from coordinating that with all the vendors. She checked in on my fiance and I, and mailed us furniture (as a gift) when she heard that a covid move had left us temporarily without. She stayed up extra hours into the night (before waking again around 4am on our wedding day) to finish a last minute request I'd given her at our rehearsal dinner (thank you!!). She stepped in as our officiant (and hit it out of the park) when our original couldn't make it. She was so brilliant that our friends went out of their way to tell us and her that she was the best planner they'd ever encountered. I completely agree. Truly, look no further. I recommend her to every friend and family member I know who is getting married, and she's absolutely part of our family now. Lisa's the one that you want. -

25 Months to Forever - Lisa is the greatest!
Creative Concepts by Lisa exceeded our expectations - our perfect wedding made possible by her work and creative vision. It's difficult to comprehend everything that went into our special day... Every minor detail, question, adjustment, vendor communication, etc. There really is nothing Lisa and her team didn't think of or handle with the utmost professionalism. Due to Covid-19, my wife and I were lucky to have the privilege of Lisa in our corner for 25 months. She guided us every step of the way including coordinating rehearsal the night before and logistics the day of of the wedding, There really are no words to describe our love and appreciation! -

I can’t recommend Lisa and her team enough! We hired Lisa in 2019 for wedding design and planning/coordination. Our wedding was truly a dream! Lisa’s design brought me to tears and was like a fairytale. There was so much attention to detail, she thought of everything to make our day absolutely stunning! Lisa was also so helpful with updating us on all the Covid19 guidelines/changes and helping us navigate having a safe wedding for our family and friends! Ann, Kelly and Chelsea were also present on our wedding day- they were beyond wonderful and helpful. Lisa is truly great at what she does, you will for sure be in great hands with her! we are so blessed to have hired her for our wedding! -

When we decided to get a month of planner, we knew we had all my details and vision in place. Lisa was always patient, honest, and understanding throughout the process. Lisa was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Our wedding was perfect. We couldn't have done it without Lisa. She is truly the BEST in the business! Lisa is like the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella! We have no words and so many words.
Don't bother looking for another planner, because no one can live up to Lisa. -
![Morgan]()
Morgan Sent on 03/03/2021Lisa treated us like family and made all of our wedding dreams come true in the middle of a pandemic!
When the pandemic first hit, Luke and I had been engaged for about two months and I had most of the wedding planned... or so I thought. We tried to keep our plans for as long as we could, but then the restrictions started happening and it just didn't make sense.
It was about a month until the wedding and Maine had made a new mandate that only 50 people were allowed to gather at outdoor events but we had over 150 invited, so we had to make the decision to basically flip the whole wedding upside down in order to figure out how to make it feel right again. We changed the location to a small place in Connecticut so that planning a last minute wedding would be easier to do with my mom living not five minutes from the location.
It was about two weeks out and we still didn't have a caterer, photographer, videographer, etc. ... but we had the place. That is when we called up Lisa in a panic and her response was something like, "I will take care of this. Give me 10 minutes and I will call you back."
She called us back in what felt like 1 minute and she had everything planned! She had a photographer, videographer, food, tent, everything!! It was a miracle! She took such good care of us from that moment on!
When we met Lisa at the rehearsal dinner, it instantly felt like she was family the way that she took care of us.
She was our shield when it came to overjoyed guests that wanted to hug us... in the middle of a pandemic I might add. She even sprayed me head to toe with bug spray because she knew that sunset in Connecticut meant bad news when it came to bugs!
She checked in with us periodically throughout the night and if there were problems, we didn't hear about any of them until our friends were laughing about them the next day! Everything was absolutely perfect and none of it would have been made possible if it were not for Lisa and her crew!
We are eternally grateful for Lisa and all that she did to make our wedding even better than our plan a! -

A no-stress wedding experience
We had to change our wedding plans due to COVID and moved from a larger, West Coast wedding where we live, to doing a small, family-only wedding in CT. Lisa was referred to us and we are so glad we used her! She was very perceptive and let us go at our own pace. We gave her a little bit of info about ourselves and our likes and she came up with the perfect ceremony.
We also took her recommendations for florist and photographer. Both were amazing and made our day very special.
Her enthusiasm and passion for what she does helped us to have an unforgettable day. She showed great flexibility and compassion for us during these trying times too. Thank you, Lisa! -

We recently had a couple that had to switch venues, scale down their guest list, and move outdoors to conform with covid restrictions.. then the power went out for a week. As their planner, Lisa crafted a new layout, timeline and celebration, and then executed it like a pro. Communication was easy and open, and as our first event back since restrictions were lifted it was great to have a qualified partner with us! Thanks Creative Concepts for a wonderful event! -

Lauren Sent on 12/22/2019Best Justice of the Peace!
Although I didn't use Lisa for her wedding planning services, I was thrilled to hear she also offered Justice of the Peace services! It was no question whether or not we would hire her, and my husband was equally as excited after we left our first meeting with her at the beginning of our engagement. She made the whole process simple and smooth - she even used her excellent planning skills during our final meeting to give us a print out of how everything would go during the rehearsal to ease my mind. She fully customized our ceremony with multiple options combined plus our own written vows and the unity ceremony of our choosing. She is completely open and willing to make your ceremony exactly what you've always envisioned, which can be overwhelming, but she helps make the deciding process easier and fun. Her personality is out of this world and perfect for a fun wedding for all. I can't recommend Lisa enough!! xoxo -

The best!! Lisa and her team were more than we could have ever hoped for! Throughout the entire planning process, Lisa was on top of every detail and thinking 5 steps ahead. She allowed my husband and me to not worry about one little thing and enjoy our wedding day that much more. In my eyes, she's basically family at this point and I would recommend her to anyone! For any brides/couples who are looking for a planner they can have full confidence in, please do yourself a favor and get Lisa! -

Lisa and her team absolutely made all my wedding dreams come true. I’m tearing up writing this review right now because she truly is an amazing person inside and out. She went above and beyond to make my day the best it could be, and she made the whole planning process so much easier for us. Anything I needed she was right there to handle it. Her ideas and little added details made the day so perfect and a wedding that will never be forgotten by me and my husband but also by all of the guests. I can not recommend her enough and you’d be crazy to not hire her for your next event. Love you Lisa!!! -

Hannah Sent on 09/03/2019Lisa Saves the Day!
We love Lisa!! My husband and I seriously cannot say enough about the amazing work that Lisa does. The hashtag sign-off that she uses: #gettingitdone could not be more appropriate because she gets it done in every situation! Groom has no idea where to find or rent a suit? Done. Last minute decision to add a photo booth? Done. Find a new wedding dress three weeks before the wedding (yes, this all happened)- DONE! She literally saved the day for me and helped us stay calm in high stress situations many times before the wedding and on the wedding day. And to make the day even more stress-free, she brought along a team of women who were professional, knowledgeable and kind- real superstars!
We started planning our wedding after our engagement without considering a wedding planner, but we are so glad we met Lisa and cannot imagine how our wedding would have come together without her expertise and skill. We are so thankful we were able to work with Lisa and would recommend her to any potential client!

Gretchen Sent on 06/24/2019Wedding Planner turned great friend
There should be more than 5 stars for this review because Lisa and her team deserve all of them! I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lisa planning our wedding for 2 years. She has been with me since the beginning! At one point I told her I was very sad as the wedding got closer as I received the multiple warnings of “the day goes by in a blink, watch out!” But I said I wasn’t sad that the wedding would be over, but more sad I wouldn’t see her as much, spend time together as we had done for the past 2 years. Lisa is the type of person you hire as a wedding planner, but becomes your very good friend by the end of the process. But luckily I don’t live too far from the office!
To give specifics, we hired Lisa as part of her Supreme Package wedding planning to help with everything from meetings with vendors, to invitation design and wording. Best decision of our whole wedding.
Lisa was there every step of the way. It was through her website I found what ultimately ended up becoming our wedding venue. But armed with a list of other venues I wanted to see, she set up venue sightings spreading over the next couple of weeks, making sure to be with us at each one. Her connections and knowledge in this industry is crucial and incredible to any bride. Her vendors are wonderful, professional, and the best in their field of work. The Supreme Package allowed me access to these vendors at great prices with some perks thrown in! Nothing I could have gotten at that price without Lisa and her great relationship with these professionals.
Lisa was there every step of the way in email form as well. Her responsiveness through email, whether it be a question, or a suggestion/idea was almost immediate. I could 100% count on Lisa answering me by the end of the day with any email I sent her. She, in turn, always made sure I was kept in the loop and updated on any vendor communications she had or tasks she completed or needed me to complete. She was always 10 steps ahead of me in everything wedding related! And I absolutely loved it! She is so incredibly knowledgeable and great at her job. I felt so confident our wedding would go off perfectly. And it did!
The amount of compliments I received from my guests telling me how smooth every event of the wedding went was amazing! And it is all because of Lisa and her team. Eric and I had no worries on our wedding day. If the day’s events needed to start at a certain time, they did with the CCBL team. Eric and I did not feel pushed along, or pressured in any way. Lisa’s strategic planning allowed hair and makeup to finish on time, which then allowed first look photos to happen and even extra time for some extra photos! And most importantly, our ceremony had to be on time, since one of our vendors had another wedding afterwards. With Lisa and her team running the show, our processional started as the clock struck 3:30pm!
I cannot say enough about Lisa and the CCBL team. Our wedding would not have been the same without her. Get a wedding planner, specifically Lisa Antonecchia. You will not be disappointed! -

Looking for a wedding planner? LOOK NO FURTHER!!! From the moment we met Lisa, we knew we were in good hands. With Lisa’s Supreme Package, CCBL took care of every single detail. My husband and I are very busy, so the Supreme Package was perfect for us as it allowed us to be able to choose from a selection of pre-screened vendors without having to sift through reviews and pore over contracts. Additionally, we live in Maryland and got married in my parent’s backyard in Connecticut, so there was a lot to do, that we couldn’t be there to oversee, but Lisa handled everything! Leading up to the wedding, people constantly told me that I was the most relaxed looking bride they’ve ever met... and that’s all because of Super Lisa! Seriously, HIRE THIS CHICK!! xoxo -

I first met Lisa of Creative Concepts on set for a Connecticut Bride magazine photo shoot.
I was the makeup artist and hairstylist for the shoot and Lisa was the creator of the most amazing- fake -wedding I’ve ever seen! Every detail was taken care of from the flowers and invitations to even a snack bar!
So, when it came time for me to get married I couldn’t think of anyone else who would do a better job than Lisa.
Even though we wanted our wedding day to be just the two of us- we basically we wanted to elope at home- it still needed an upbeat vibe.
Having been a guest on Lisa’s “Teal Couch Tuesday” I knew she fit that description perfectly!
Lisa wrote and presented the most beautiful vows for us and she was a complete pro the entire time from the planning to the ceremony.
I would most definitely recommend her for your special day! -

She not only made my daughter's Sweet 16 party one of the most memorable moments of her life but she executed a plan beyond our wildest dreams! Lisa is truly an expert in the field of party planning. With her personality, professionalism, energy, passion, creativity and eye for detail, my daughter was a true princess on her special day! Lisa, we are so grateful for you and to any future clients looking for the perfect party planner, search no further!

Nicole Sent on 10/06/2017Lisa and team- I cannot express how thankful I am for creating my dream wedding. Everything was perfect. Thank you! I love that Lisa was able to stay within our budget as when I started this process I decided to google average wedding costs in CT... um yeah let’s just say I could buy a Porsche! Seeing as I could not afford a wedding of that price my husband and I were comforted by Lisa as she was able to break down our budget and identify areas where we could use most of our budget and others we could leave up to her to get us a better price! Lisa and team are worth every penny! Thank you!

Nick Sent on 02/13/2017I can't say enough about Lisa, she made our special day extra special. We had a small wedding ceremony at our house, and we felt like she was part of our family. Her amazing personality and presentation warmed the room, and all of our quests loved her. I highly recommend Lisa, and consider her a great friend after being part of our wedding. We will never forget our ceremony, and love the printed binder and roses she gave us to commemorate the day.
