I have had the pleasure of working side by side Lisa Stoner for several years now as an entertainment vendor. After my 20+ years in this industry I would find it hard pressed to find a more detailed, eloquent, dedicated and involved event planner than this GEM of a talent. In our countless weddings together I have witnessed her hands on approach and care towards the Bridal Party, their Family Members, her custom designs/décor, floral, entertainment, venue coordination, sound and lighting. She and her team member Jessica arrive on time, with every detail corresponded to the entire vendor team in a timely manner. Our questions are often answered before they're even asked and her relaxed and polished demeanor onsite is a breathe of fresh air. She is an absolute asset to the industry. When I walk in to a "Lisa Stoner" wedding I am often awestruck by her classic designs that will stand the test of time, her warm and approachable nature towards others, and her ability to know how to handle any challenges that may come her way onsite and in real-time. Reach out without a doubt. You'll be glad you did!

Allie Sent on 05/26/2018Lisa is the best wedding planner in Orlando. I have no idea what I would do without her. She will take your vision and bring it to life in the most beautiful and elegant way. My bustle broke mid reception and she created a French bustle with safety pins. She’s like the super woman of weddings and she will make sure to make your wedding absolutely perfect.

Thanks Jessy.

The lack of recent, or any reviews should have been a red flag, especially in an industry where vendors rely on reviews for business, but a smooth story was concocted when questioned. Now that the wedding planning process is over, it is clear to me why there are no reviews “permitted”, because they would be less than flattering. So, I hope this saves some other potential brides some heartache, frustration, and disappointment.
From the initial interview with Lisa, to contracting her, she morphed into a completely different person. She was regularly unprepared for meetings, often adding no value. We had hoped that she would keep us on track, but instead we had to stay extremely organized and ensure we were accomplishing tasks within the proper time frame, because we could not rely on her. During every meeting, she was always distracted and excuses were commonplace when working with her.
Adding to the frustration would be the lack of knowledge and understanding that Lisa demonstrated with her chosen wedding planning Software, Aisleplanner.
Things got worse when the wedding weekend came around. She showed up late to the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day. Our ceremony rehearsal was unorganized and haphazard. It seemed as though this was the first time she had ever run a rehearsal, it was managed so poorly. She proceeded to be extremely unfocused the entire day, seemingly more interested in posting on social media than being focused on managing the events the day of.
She was nowhere to be found the entire day, especially when she was needed by the bridal party for various things.
She was not present for getting ready pictures, nor were any of her assistants. We had a wardrobe issue while getting ready where a button needed to be sewn back on, and our photography team had to step in to sew it back on.
Bridal Party Portraits, again, her and her team were nowhere to be found. The groomsmen were not prepared and did not have their boutonnieres on.
Lisa also did not prepare the groomsmen who were going to be ceremony ushers for their roles. It was 5 minutes before guests were going to be arriving, and I had to track her down to quickly brief the ushers, so they could rush outside to begin seating our guests.
As the bridal party prepared for the processional, it was pure chaos and disorganization. Lisa started to take us out the wrong way, different than what we all discussed and practiced during the rehearsal.
After the ceremony, she was again nowhere in sight to help with the bustle. Luckily my bridesmaids were able to figure it out, even though I had previously asked her to be there to assist with this.
For the grand entrance, she was again unorganized and unprepared, when I had previously provided all applicable details of timing, songs, cues, etc. When my father asked for a lavalier microphone for his speech, she would not get it.
On top of all of the mistakes throughout the process and during the wedding, the worst thing would be the attitude Lisa had towards my bridal party. She was unattached and distant the entire day, building no rapport with the bridal party, a group with which she should have been deeply involved and present with. When we needed something, my bridesmaids were having to run throughout the hotel to track her down. Upon finding her, they were constantly met with attitude.
It was quite embarrassing that my bridesmaids had to step in to the role of planner on my wedding day, instead of being able to relax and enjoy the day. Overall, disappointed does not even begin to describe our experience with Lisa Stoner Events.
To go through the entire process ourself and truly understand it after one time, while feeling like it was the first time for our planner, was extremely unfortunate, especially after the amount of money spent on a vendor that was a such a big miss.
