Alicia Sent on 05/30/2025Lisa made my wedding a 10/10.
I don't even know where to begin!!! Lisa, you are amazing. She answered all of my annoying questions with grace and patience, she communicated well with all of my vendors, she reviewed my save the dates and invitations and gave helpful feedback, she assisted with design of the wedding and created the entire timeline. If it wasn't for Lisa, my wedding wouldn't have happened. She held my wedding together and kept me on track throughout the entire process. Lisa, thank you for everything! -

We hired Lisa Karcher from Elegant Affairs for her Wedding Management package, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very first consultation (before we even officially booked her!), she offered thoughtful advice and shared vendor recommendations that made us feel supported right away.
Our wedding was at Bella Terra Vineyard Estate in San Miguel. I had a clear vision for the day, and Lisa brought it to life beautifully. We hadn’t done all the planning ourselves, so having her step in to coordinate with vendors, review contracts, and manage the timeline was incredibly helpful. One of our vendors even emailed us before the wedding just to say how organized and easy Lisa was to work with!
On the wedding day, she handled everything—setup, takedown, and keeping everything running smoothly—so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. When a small issue came up with the flowers, she shielded me from the stress and only brought it to my attention when my input was actually needed, which I truly appreciated.
We got so many compliments from guests on how smooth and stress-free the whole day felt, and that’s all thanks to Lisa. She’s organized, honest, calm under pressure, and genuinely cares about her couples. We 100% recommend her to anyone getting married on the Central Coast! -

Luci Sent on 10/15/2024Absolutely amazing!
We have nothing but great things to say about Lisa. We hired her as a partial planner, and she went above and beyond to make our wedding truly the best day ever (and this was at our own DIY venue in the middle of nowhere). Every time we met with her, she was prepared with questions, to-do items, and a timeline. She was extremely communicative, especially as the wedding day got closer. Lisa helped us find phenomenal vendors such as catering, rentals, and cheaper insurance. For the vendors we found on our own, she made sure to be in contact with them prior to and day of, and be the main point of contact. Lisa and her team (including her husband who was a huge help) were wonderful day of. They made sure every detail that was asked for was present, everything was in place, and that we were happy. They communicated very well with each other as a team, and with us and the vendors. Looking back they are one of the key decisions that made our wedding a success and we wouldn't hesitate to hire them again (if we ever had another wedding, which we won't). Thank you Elegant Affairs!! -

Rebecca Sent on 08/25/2023Lisa and her team are amazing!
If you are looking for a wedding planner in Paso Robles area, Lisa is the one for you. We hired Lisa for partial planning services and we are so glad we did! She is really laid back, which I believe comes from her being an expert in what she does! We are not from Paso Robles, so we were unfamiliar with vendors in the area and Lisa has an entire squad of amazing vendors that she uses frequently, so all of the booking processes and meetings were seamless and easy. She understood our vision perfectly and again, recommended the appropriate vendors to accomplish our dream wedding. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect and stress free from start to finish even though it was 109 degrees! Plus she always made sure our bellies were full and that we had a drink in our hand! We can't recommend Lisa and her team enough! -

Patrick Sent on 03/23/2023I love working with Lisa!!!
I am a photographer/videographer and I have had the privilege of working with Lisa at Elegant Affairs on numerous weddings. She has always been so amazing to work with and makes my job much easier. Prior to the wedding she contacts me with detailed information about the day to make sure I get thorough coverage of the wedding. She is very detailed and communicates with me throughout the day to make sure I’m ok. She is so amazing with her clients and very hands on unlike a lot of other coordinators I’ve worked with. In fact she came on an engagement session with me which no coordinator has ever done and helped the couple hold their bags, shoes, makeup and even took some behind the scenes shots. She truly is an amazing planner, designer and coordinator. I love working with Lisa and my job is so much easier when she is around. Hire her for your next event. You won’t regret it. -

Rachael Sent on 09/30/2022Lisa is amazing and such a delight to work with!
Lisa was incredible to work with. We were initially drawn to her because she was so nice and thoughtful right off the bat, and then when we started working together it only got better and better. Her knowledge of local vendors really helped us select the remaining needs we had. She let us borrow some decor she already had on hand, which saved us money in the long run. Lisa was very calm and put together day of. She did an amazing job executing our vision and adjusting when things started to get delayed. We are both extremely grateful to have worked with her and couldn't have imagined it any other way. Her kind soul and generous heart was the perfect addition to our wedding day. -

Natalia Sent on 09/27/2022Stress free, PERFECT, wedding planner!
Lisa was such an easy going, wedding planner. At first we didn’t think we needed one as I knew exactly what I wanted. But as we began the organizing, we realized we really needed someone professional, who was local, and knew the area well, as well as all the vendors.
We are from florida and wanted a vineyard wedding in Paso Robles and Lisa was perfect.
She kept on top of us for things we needed that we didn’t even know we needed and then gave us options to help guide us. She took care of all the little details and let us mail items we couldn’t travel with and even helped us mail them back to florida.
On the day she was the one in charge of keeping us on track and it was so seamless we had no stress at all! Any little hiccups, she took care of immediately and knew how to fix anything. It started to rain a little and our wedding was outdoors, she had a plan B and a plan C and fortunately we didn’t need any of them.
So, so happy with her. She was easy going and on point, never did she seem stressed or flustered and Handel it all so gracefully.
Definitely recommend Lisa to helps bring your vision of your day to fruition. -

Natalie Sent on 08/15/2022The BEST in the Central Coast
There are not enough words to say how amazing Lisa is at what she does. She truly made our whole wedding planning process so enjoyable. We hired Lisa a little less than a year before our wedding. From our first phone call she was giving us ideas and recommendations, helping us get on boarded with vendors. She kept us on top of the important things and made sure to not let us worry. We are so grateful she was a part of our day because it would not have been what it was without her. They day of our wedding went seamlessly without a hiccup. We couldn't have done it with out her. -

Lisa was so great to work with! She made the whole process so simple and fun for us. The day of was completely stress free for us and that’s all thanks to Lisa’s amazing organization, attention to detail, and strong relationships with the other vendors. She had such great ideas to help us save time and money which was greatly appreciated. Hiring Lisa was the best thing we did for our wedding! -

Jenna Sent on 09/23/2019Fantastic Wedding Planner!
When I was researching wedding vendors I came across Lisa's information. I had calls with other wedding planners and just wasn't "meshing" with them. They seemed to try to upsell me, tell me about things that I wasn't envisioning, etc. I had a call with Lisa and immediately knew she was my girl :) She was always VERY responsive and helpful and I truly couldn't have done it without her. Her team was so nice and handled last min requests without breaking a sweat. I truly can't recommend her enough! -

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lisa from Elegant Affairs on 8/3/19. She organized a BEAUTIFUL (large) wedding on the beach of Cayucos with precision and class. Everything from communication to execution was flawless. The ceremony was personal and sweet and the reception was buzzing with good vibes. I highly recommend Lisa and her team! She can definitely help make your dream wedding a reality! -

Kathryn Sent on 06/23/2019BEST wedding coordinator in Paso Robles
We can’t say enough amazing things about Lisa Karcher and her team at Elegant Affairs. To be honest, when we started I didn’t think I needed a coordinator since I have planned lots events for work previously, but our venue required we have at least a day-of person so we found Lisa. But boy were we wrong and are still gushing about how lost we would have been without her! We got married earlier this month in Paso Robles but were planning the wedding while living in Washington, DC. Being so far away had a number of challenges, but Lisa helped take so much stress out of the process. We hired her for the day-of coordinator but she worked with us throughout our 11 month engagement, especially the last 2 months leading up to the event. When I wasn’t sure where to even begin with rentals, she called and already had been in touch with a company and had a quote for us within a couple days. She helped us develop a timeline that ensured the whole event ran smoothly and she worked with the rest of our vendor team to make sure all kinks were worked out ahead of time. While all of this was so helpful, she went above and beyond to help us avoid disaster when I realized 2 weeks before the wedding we had had a miscommunication with our caterer and we hadn’t secured any desserts. Within 24 hours she had worked everything out with the caterer to make sure we had plenty for all of our guests and they were a huge hit. My husband and I, along with both of our families were more than thrilled with the work Lisa did for our special day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator in the area. -

Grace Sent on 06/06/2019Amazing service!
My daughter and I hired Lisa due to the fact our venue required a wedding planner. I personally have a lot of experience with party planning and was not sure what value a planner would truly bring to us! I can say I was wrong!
Lisa came referred to me by my long time hair stylist. Lisa started to prove her value immediately by reviewing contracts and providing recommendations for other vendors.
Even though Lisa had not done an event at our venue she familiarized herself with the venue and staff immediately. She also provided us with the Theaisle.com wedding planning software which was invaluable in keeping us on track with everything including the guest list and the budget as well as timelines.
Lisa’s true value was for the weekend of the wedding. She did an awesome job in a relaxed non controlling way for both the rehearsal dinner as well as the preparation for the wedding including set up, monitoring the day of preparation as we got ready, worked seamlessly with the photographers, caters, florist, bartenders and venue managers and anyone else involved.
She was always behind the scenes with her team making sure everything went according to plan. We did not have even one hiccup for a wedding of 385 people. The best part is that my husband, myself and our daughter and her new husband got to fully be in the moment and did not have to deal with all of the little details that make a wedding day great! We highly recommend Lisa for anyone looking for a wedding or part planner! -

Alicia Sent on 10/18/2018Wonderful Execution
Lisa was an amazing coordinator to work with. She actively listens to your ideas and finds ways to make them come to fruition. She provided great suggestions (due to her experience) when we needed some additional assistance on our vision. She was really understanding if we felt a vendor was not suited for our needs and immediately found an alternative for us. She was well organized and kept us on top of all our to-do items through the entire process. The day of the event she was CLUTCH! Everything went smoothly and it was a beautiful day for us. We could not have asked for anything better ...Thank you Lisa! -

The absolute BEST planner!
Lisa was more than anything we could ever ask for as a wedding planner. From the very beginning she ensured everything was absolutely perfect. She was always there to answer whatever questions we had, provide recommendations on vendors and just support us throughout the planning process. Our day could not have been more perfect and we owe everything to Lisa and her team. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't have her as your wedding planner! -

Delivered the best of Paso Robles
Lisa did an amazing job of curating an entire weekend of great experiences from dinner in a wine cave to the Sensorio light fields to great wine tastings, delicious catering, a top notch jazz band, a photographer, florist, equipment rentals and brunch. She helped make my 60th birthday an incredibly wonderful time from start to finish! Not easy with a party full of picky New Yorkers but everything was just perfect! -
