    Smooth Operator

    Can't thank Lisa enough for all her assistance throughout the process. I truly believe our special day went smooth and without a hitch because of her. Lisa is top notch; she was incredibly easy to work with, thoughtful, pro-active and a genuine Pro. Our experience couldn't have been any better. We highly recommend Lisa for hire.

    Lisa 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!

    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!

    Lisa 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.

    Stress 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.

    HOT!!!!! Literally

    Lisa and her crew was amazing during our wedding. They did an amazing job. It was a very hectic day with the weather and all. Which we did not expect but still pulled it off as a day to remember. They were very hands on with everything. Her and her crew were on top of things that we did not have to worry about anything. We had a blast. Even with our busy schedule before the wedding; she was helpful with all the questions we had.

    The 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 - planner

    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!

    100/10 highly recommend!

    Lisa was very professional and exceeded our expectations by gracefully conducting our wedding day with flow and ease. On a day that seems chaotic with heightened emotions and complex family dynamics- she was calm, cool and collected. She was so helpful before hand with coordinating with the venue and our vendors and making sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for a 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!

    I wish I could give Lisa more stars! This was a destination wedding so most of the consulting was done via email and text! My parents met and chose Lisa for me as my busy nursing student schedule made it so hard for me to go to Paso Robles and meet with my vendors. My mom knew that Lisa was the fit for me and when we finally met a month before the wedding - it was just perfect! My mom was right on target! Lisa has such a calming effect and does go above and beyond to make sure that everything was in place and on point. We forgot to order some items from the rental company and Lisa noticed the items were missing and updated our order! She kept in touch with all the vendors and made sure that everyone knew what time to arrive, the wine and food tasting at our venue was coordinated and we never missed a beat! Lisa gave us great suggestions and even offered names of other vendors she had worked with in the past. She was very familiar with the venue and made sure that everything was delivered on time and was ready to go when we arrived! She finalized the wedding welcome bags and delivered them to every hotel that we had guests at! The day of; my parents and I were relaxed and didn't have a care in the world, all thanks to Lisa! Please choose Lisa; especially if you are planning a BIG event! She will make sure that it is spectacular! Thank you so very much again for making my day so memorable!

    Lisa perfects your Big Day to a T!!!

    I worked with Lisa for the entire year leading up to our wedding. We are from out of town so she assisted on recommending local vendors, speaking to them on my behalf, reviewing contracts, and providing advice and insight on past experiences. She was always easy to get a hold of and quick to respond. She ran through our rehearsal and was so patient and detailed with our bridal party and everyone's questions. We passed over all of our wedding details we had brought from home and let her know the vision. On the wedding day, she brought it to life and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The details were placed perfectly and the flow of everything was so seamless. I was able to relax and enjoy our big day as she set up our vendors, got band aids when my shoes started to fail me, get last minute items we left in our getting ready room, and delegate tasks to ensure the evening continued perfectly. We had a catering issue that I had no idea about until the next day because Lisa takes initiative to solve problems quickly. I could not imagine planning our wedding without Lisa. She is such a wealth I knowledge and I trust her so much. I am so appreciative of everything she did for us and we will never be able to thank her enough! Everyone planning a wedding NEEDS Lisa!!!

    Incredible Experience

    Lisa was incredible! The power was out at my reception and Lisa was able to find a gas-powered stove within a matter of hours so that dinner could go on! She used her incredible judgement and did not tell me so that I could enjoy my day! She also set up a wine stomping station day of when I asked for it last second! It was absolutely magical and handled flawlessly! I am unbelievably grateful!

    Our perfect day with Elegant Affairs

    We had a beautiful and perfect wedding day, and cannot thank Lisa and Elegant Affairs enough. They deserve so much credit, and we are so thankful for all of the hard work. Due to a Covid delay, we worked with Lisa for over 2 years on planning and organizing a dream destination wedding, postponing that wedding, and planning and organizing all over again. Through the entire process, Lisa was available to answer all of our questions and assist with all of our needs and requests. She made the process of having a destination flow smoothly, even with the hiccup of a global pandemic. I cannot imagine trying to pull off the wedding without her.

    She was always helpful, and always guided us in the right direction while also taking into consideration our special requests and details. She was able to combine both and create a perfect day. As the wedding day drew nearer, details and plans started to seamlessly come together. We were truly thankful for this, as it allowed us to enjoy our time with family and friends rather than panic over last minute changes and details.

    On the wedding day everything we had anticipated went according to plan (or at least we think so. If it did not, she took care of it without us ever knowing or realizing which we greatly appreciated). The wedding weekend from rehearsal to the ceremony to the reception flowed smoothly, was organized, and detail oriented. All of the help from Elegant Affairs was not taken for granted and did not go unnoticed. This even continued after the wedding as the things we left at the venue were all carefully taken care of, boxed up, and ready for pickup the next morning without us asking.

    If you are planning a Central Coast or Paso Robles wedding, I recommend Lisa and Elegant Affairs without reservation. Because of her hard work, we were able to truly enjoy each other on our wedding day, as well as our closest family and friends, without the stress and frustration sometimes experienced by others. I am confident in saying that you will not regret utilizing Elegant Affairs for your perfect wedding day.

    Went Above And Beyond

    Hands down the best decision we made with regards to vendor hires. We will admit that we were a little skeptical at first as to whether or not we really needed a wedding coordinator, thinking it would be better to save that money and do it ourselves. In hindsight, we definitely could NOT have done this without Lisa. She was truly incredible in every way, from helping provide amazing vendor recommendations (we say we had the vendor dream team at our wedding, and this was truly all thanks to her suggestions), to pointing out things to be aware of, to helping budget, plan, and coordinate. She answered all our questions and made everything seamless -- especially when we had to move our wedding due to Covid. We know that was unexpected and a huge undertaking but Lisa made it look easy. And our wedding itself was also a bit complicated as we were getting married at one vineyard and then moving the entire party to a second venue. There were issues with the heat in August, the wind, and moving people up and down a hill by tractor, etc. We know additional issues came up but Lisa handled them in such a way that we never were impacted. She went above and beyond, and did so with such a positive, happy and fun demeanor. And the wedding itself went off perfectly -- we didn't have to worry about anything thanks to her. Again, this was the best money we could have spent. You will not regret hiring her to guide your big day and we are sure, like us, will be repeatedly uttering the phrase, "Thank God for Lisa."

    Great experience!

    Lisa was great and really thought of the small details that made our day so special. Day of was no stress for us and that was really important to me. She was fantastic in the whole planning part and definitely made me feel at ease several times when I went into mini panic attack mode!

    I 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.

    Amazing! Highly recommend

    Lisa did such a fantastic job at my wedding! I used to cater weddings for years and have seen my fare share of coordinators. Hands down Lisa is the BEST!! My day ran soo incredibly smoothly and I was completely oblivious to any hiccup (there were only a few). My wedding turned out better then what I expected and I owe most of that to Lisa!

    Lisa was absolutely amazing in creating our perfect day!

    Lisa was amazing from the very beginning of the planning process all the way up to event itself. She is so friendly and easy to talk to. I am super indecisive and she put me at ease on everything. We are 3 hours away from our wedding location. Lisa has such good insight to the area and had the perfect suggestions when it came to choosing vendors. The wedding day itself was beyond anything I could've imagined. The whole day went so smooth and stress free. We were able to be in the moment and enjoy our day. She is the best, can't thank her enough! :)

    Book Lisa you won’t be disappointed

    We interviewed about 5 coordinators before hiring Lisa. Everyone told us we needed someone and to be honest I wasn’t that sure going into it how useful one would be, I now stand corrected! We hired Lisa as a “day of” but she started helping us from day 1 of hiring her, with vendor recommendations, ideas about flow, timeline etc. She also helped us with rentals which was a HUGE help. Though Lisa may not have responded immediately in those earlier days of planning she would always get back to my questions and if I needed something quickly a text or call would get responded to ASAP.

    As it got closer Lisa stayed on top of those final details and dealt with a lot of my last minute stress. We live out of town so she did things like let me ship things to her, she dropped off sprinkles at the donut shop for me and helped me find alternatives for my dream sweetheart table. She was always honest with me about when she didn’t think something made sense or went with my vision but she wasn’t pushy or not accommodating.

    The day before the wedding I had (more) sweetheart table drama and Lisa immediately found me a solution and made me aware of the problem. The day of the rehearsal I did a quick 5 minute walk through of my decor and how I wanted certain things.

    The day of the wedding I got to the venue ready for pictures an hour before guests were meant to arrive and everything was PERFECT! It was all set up and she totally got my vision and executed on it.

    During the event she was so sweet and helpful. Making sure we always had something to eat or drink, helping me with my dress and veil etc. once the wedding ended she and her team took care of everything and we were able to leave to our after party.

    When I went back the next day everything was boxed and put in a corner for me ready to take home,

    Lisa really cares about her clients and it shows in the quality of work. We were soo happy with her work and know she fixed so many things that day we had no idea were even an issue because her focus was on making sure we had a great time. If you are looking for a planner or coordinator you won’t regret hiring Lisa.

    Fantastic 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!

    Amazing wedding planner!

    We planned a destination wedding for our daughter in under three months! Both her father and I and the bride and groom lived 2 - 4 hours away. We were extremely happy with all her recommended venders. Lisa was very responsive to us and easy to communicate with. She easily juggled questions from all of us and always had good solutions. Lisa was a pleasure to work with on the rehearsal day, wedding day and during the entire planning process!
