Jody Sent on 08/21/2024Great Experience!
Liz Kriegshaber was nothing short of amazing! From the very first time we met her, we knew we were in good hands. From start to finish she exceeded every expectation and helped make my daughter’s wedding day both manageable and unforgettable.
Liz took the time to understand our vision and offered invaluable insights and suggestions. She helped us refine our ideas and then helped to turn them into a beautiful reality. Throughout the planning process, she was always available to answer our questions, do some hand holding and solve any issues that arose. She attended all meetings with vendors, offered excellent suggestions and made sure that we got the most value for our money. She advocated for us every step of the way. Anytime we had a question, she contacted the vendor for us and promptly came back with an answer. She made sure that everyone was on the same page, reviewed every contract and got vendors to throw in extras that we would never thought of. She helped us with every possible wedding detail, from helping us to design a magnificent wedding invitation, to singlehandedly designing personalized kippahs, monogram cocktail napkins, the dinner menu card and a welcome letter for our guests. There was no detail left unturned.
On the day of the wedding, Liz also went above and beyond. She made sure that everything ran like clockwork and managed every detail seamlessly. She helped my daughter deal with wardrobe malfunctions and did so calmly and patiently. Our guests were so impressed with both the seamless flow of events and the beautiful ambiance she helped us create.
I wholeheartedly recommend Liz Kriegshaber to help you plan your special day! -

Nicole Sent on 10/26/2022Best money spent on our wedding!
We worked with Lindsay Gaeta and couldn’t have been happier! She was the reason our day went so incredibly smoothly. It was the best money we could have spent. Each part of the day flowed perfectly from one activity to the next. Not only was the day of perfect, but she made the whole 2-3 months leading up to our wedding a breeze with thorough planning and questions leading to creating our timeline. It was the most organized event planning you could ask for! We also really enjoyed getting to know her and spending our special day with her. She really put us at ease when we were feeling anxious. Thank you soooo much Lindsay for making our day unforgettable. -

Grace Sent on 04/26/2015I just got married this past weekend (April 18) and I just could not wait to say these words about Misha and Liven It Up Events. AMAZING!!!!!
Misha will have your back. She will be there for you when you need her. She is unbelievably professional and organized. SHE GETS THINGS DONE. If you really really want something, she will move heaven and earth to make it happen. But she's also pragmatic and will hammer down a realistic wedding schedule to make sure the important stuff you need gets done.
Misha is warm, incredibly knowledgeable and she is genuinely excited for you and your wedding day.
For those who are on the fence of hiring a wedding planner - DO IT (Misha was my day-of wedding planner). EMBRACE your wedding day. You want to occupy yourself with thoughts of your future spouse and taking this monumental step together. You don't want to clutter your mind with thoughts about whether the caterer is setting up on time or whether the officiant knows where he's supposed to be and when. Liven It Up Events takes care of EVERYTHING and will make sure you don't have to worry about ANYTHING. On my wedding morning I was sipping my mimosa, laughing with my bridesmaids and getting my hair/make up done. A great way to start the day!
Even if you have a ton of friends helping out with the wedding there has to be a point person to smoothly coordinate everything without the bride even knowing about it. I swear, LIVEN IT UP will have your back so that you can enjoy getting married!!!! -

Edwina Sent on 01/07/2010Anthony is the glue that made my wedding what it was this past week. Anthony was provided to me by Bonsoiree and he is one of the main reasons why me and my husband are so happy with our wedding.
His vision and execution was flawless - he attended walkthroughs with me, gave advice, listened to my bitching (and there was a lot of bitching as we approached the big day). He has the patience of a saint - and will hold a bride's hand through the planning process which can be overwhelming...and I consider myself organized!
He does go above and beyond in everything that he does - and keeps your budget in check! Anyone planning a wedding will get sticker shock really fast if they are planning a wedding in the city and Anthony gets that - he will give you the no "BS" answers and reality check of what you can and cannot get...and I think that's refreshing.
People that aren't made out of money can have elegant and chic weddings! Please consider Anthony for either Day of Coordination or full on wedding planning....he's experienced, organized, and gets it all done!
I'm sure there were hiccups during our wedding but not once was I summoned to resolve anything - in my mind that is the best wedding present anyone can give a bride! -

Margaret Sent on 09/19/2022We could not have done it without Liven It Up!
Liz was an amazing wedding planner and helped us go from signing a contract with her to saying “I do” in six months. After we told her we wanted to work with her, she had appointments to look at venues the following day. From there, she provided us with options for music, flowers, transportation and hotels. It was wonderful to receive an email that stated “here are two vendors available on your date, within your budget, that I have worked with in the past.” She saved us countless hours calling different vendors and potentially hitting dead ends. Throughout the process, she provided guidance on several decisions and always provided a “why.” For example, we were unsure about a first look and she provided several reasons why we should do one, and we are both so glad we did. It kept us calmer for the ceremony and we have some beautiful photos together in the city.
As we got closer to the wedding day, she provided different ideas for details that really added a wonderful touch to the whole reception. She also suggested I ask if my alterations place would press my wedding dress and when they said they didn’t she had a place that picked up the dress, made it look beautiful and then delivered it to the hotel. Everything was so stress free with Liz!
On the wedding day, she kept us calm, had refreshments set up for the wedding party and helped us have a beautiful ceremony. She made sure we got a moment to ourselves after the ceremony, she walked us in to see the reception room and decorations to let it all sink in before our guests saw, and just made the whole day wonderful.
I have been in many weddings and have had a lot of tasks to complete throughout the evening and things to get back to a hotel, etc. I felt after our first dance, we could relax and enjoy the evening with friends and family.
Thank you Liz!

Leslie Sent on 10/13/2025Liz Kriegshaber, wedding producer extraordinaire!
If you want a flawless wedding, Liz Kriegshaber is your person!
When our daughter got engaged, we knew the first step was finding the right wedding consultant. We had attended many incredible weddings and received several recommendations, but I’d seen too many planners who were either overly aggressive or completely underwhelming. Then I met Liz—and within five minutes, I knew she was the one.
From that moment on, Liz exceeded every expectation. She balanced our endless emails and competing opinions with grace, patience, and humor, turning all our ideas into a celebration that was beyond our wildest dreams.
Liz is meticulous, organized, and deeply respected by every vendor she works with. She reviewed contracts as if she were an attorney and negotiated on our behalf with intelligence and confidence. Because of her, we never once felt overwhelmed or uncertain—we knew we were in the best possible hands.
The result was a wedding that felt effortless, elegant, and completely us. Our guests are raving and asking for her contact information—and we can’t wait to attend many more events she creates.
