  Wedding Planning

  We hired Upon A Start Events in 2019 for our wedding! After seeing their team execute so many amazing weddings and events in the Boston and surrounding areas we knew they would do a great job. Lis had the creativity we were lacking and she brought such a fun, amazing energy to our planning! She quickly caught on to our style and continuously came up with new, exciting ideas that we loved! When COVID-19 hit, Lis seamlessly moved our wedding date to 2021. She advocated for us better than we would have ourselves to make sure that our day was the most special. We certainly would not have been able to secure a wedding date in 2021 with ALL of our same vendors if it weren't for Lis. She is truly amazing and was always there for a phone call of meeting whenever we needed it. She planned a stunning bridal shower full of surprises!!! At our rehearsal event, all of our guests complimented us on the Upon A Star staff! They were beautifully dressed, professional, and on top of EVERY minute of our event. Lis was always one step ahead of us - even our guests commented on how she somehow was the last person out of the rehearsal at the chapel and the first to the rehearsal event. The day of the wedding was so seamless because of the Upon A Star staff who dropped off welcome bags to our guests at multiple hotels, checked in at the venue to ensure vendors were arriving and setting up as planned, then back in with the bridal party to ensure everyone had what they needed. If you are looking to avoid last minute stressors Upon A Start Events is the way to do it!!! Lis was there at times I didn't even know I was going to need her... like when my mom and MOH headed off to the ceremony in separate transportation and I was walking to meet my dad. Lis was with me so I wasn't alone! At the reception in the midst of all the fun and commotion Lis was there to bustle my dress when I couldn't find my mom or MOH. Every day of our special weekend was flawless thanks to Upon A Star Events and it continues to be amazing post wedding with all of the surprises we have received!! You will NOT be disappointed with Upon A Star Events! I would rebook for another event in a heartbeat!

  Two years in the making but your day, sandwiched between the rainiest July ever was absolutely the most beautiful day ever! I am so lucky to have clients that value my work and rely on my experience and creativity. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me to get you all the way thru. It was such a pleasure working with you and Brett and I wish you a lifetime filled with lots of love laughter and happily ever afters.

  Best Wedding Day

  Elisabeth, owner of Upon a Star was excellent to work with in planning my daughters wedding even after the pandemic pushed it back a year. Very detail oriented, which made the wedding day flawless. Would 100% use again.

  Top level product!

  Working with Lis is a dream. Not only is she knowledgeable about her craft, but she makes it so we didn't have to sweat anything for our big day! Our reception was done DIY style, and really it all came together because of Upon a Star Events. On the morning of the wedding, instead of making sure all our stuff was together and where it should be, she had it covered, leaving us to enjoy the morning with our respective wedding parties! Couldn't have had such a successful day without her!!

  Boston's Best for a reason

  Elisabeth brought our dream wedding vision to life A-Z. After working at Boston Weddings magazine for 7 years she was my #1 choice. Following our first meeting, she went over every detail of my 100 slide powerpoint and memorized it and then went back over it again with a fine tooth comb. Not only did she bring our vision to life but she also constantly brought new ideas to the table that were a perfect match with the esthetic along the way. Every vendor loved working with her, went the extra mile because of her, and no question was left unasked. The elements that sat between vendors like table numbers and graphic design she helped create custom for us...there is truly nothing she can’t tackle exceptionally well. She was always 10 steps ahead, so much so that the entire bridal party learned her name quickly and even the groomsmen have been been quoted saying ‘we remember Elisabeth taught us’. She genuinely cares and you feel like she’s part of not only your day and the days leading up but a part of your family you really wanted with you every step of the way — keeping it fun, not losing sight of it being you two and your love that matters most, and allowing you to fully be present in every moment. Mind you, I wasn’t looking for more family, I’m Irish, it just organically became that, in the best way. Whatever your looking for I’m confident Elisabeth can execute it. I’m so thankful we hired Elisabeth, our day truly would not have been the same without her. I’d recommend her as your first vendor phone call to all brides, if you want all the magic and none of the stress, you’ll thank me later I promise.
  
  Ps. This wedding was planned and replanned during COVID which was a whole nother feat Elisabeth navigated flawlessly

  Fun, fabulous, and flawless!!

  Upon a Star created the perfect bridal shower for my daughter! It was perfectly designed and seamlessly executed. They were a delight to work with, extremely organized, and always available for efficient communications. The day was elegant, fun, and flawless. My bride-to-be couldn't have been happier and neither could I!!

  Upon A Star - Best of the Best!

  Elisabeth Accardi of Upon A Star has organized a holiday event for me for the past three years. In fact, she has been the mastermind of the event for over 11 years - long before I became involved with the group! It is a family celebration that includes children of all ages - all of whom she keeps entertained with creative and fun activities. Elisabeth is the perfect event planner - original, enthusiastic and professional! She is constantly sourcing and mastering new ideas so she has new activities and themes year after year. Elisabeth brings great energy to all of her work. There is no detail too big for her to conquer or too small for her to consider. Equally important, she stays on task and never misses a deadline. Elisabeth and her staff are dependable and reliable - so you are free to enjoy your beautiful event!

  Elisabeth is unbelievable - the real deal. She not only has the creative vision to pull off amazing events, but she also has the knowledge, organization and management skills to pull it off flawlessly. Her ability to appreciate varying clients tastes, is key. She customized my son's Bar Mitzvah celebration (an intimate gathering, not the typical party) perfectly. She's incredibly responsive - whether by phone, text or email - I don't think I ever waited more than a couple of hours to hear back (even when we were several months out from the event/she had more pressing deliverables). Her team is hard working, knowledgeable, professional and just a joy to be around. We'd use her again in a heart beat.

  Elisabeth helped plan my daughter’s wedding in June. Elisabeth is one of the most creative, energetic and generous people I have ever met. She knew my daughter’s vision of the look and feel of the wedding, and put the wheels in motion to make it perfect. She is an endless fountain of resources, knowing great creative people who could do what we wanted, and where to get specialty items. She worked so well with our various vendors; not only to coordinate ideas about the vision of the day, but to work on the nuts and bolts details, like the right number of electrical outlets the band needed to set up. No detail is too big or too small for her to handle. Her organizational skills are superior; keeping us on top of things and when they needed to be done, and creating timelines leading up to the wedding day for us and for our vendors; all the things that made the day go as smoothly as it did. Elisabeth is truly a special person, and the management, creative ideas, enthusiasm and boundless energy she brings to an event are extraordinary. She is simply the best.

  I have used Upon a Star for years and have to say, Elisabeth gets better and better. We do a private military appreciation tree event and her attention to detail and flexibility on our needs, wants and vision is so appreciated. Additionally, she too understands the sacrifices of these service members and their families and wants everything to be just perfect for them. That in itself is a nice is wonderful thank you to these families. I would recommend her company in a heartbeat and hope to continue working with her on other opportunities. Maybe even some personal events. ;-)

  It is with a full heart that I give a special thanks to a dear friend and incredible event planner – Elisabeth Accardi from Upon a Star. She helped me plan my son’s Bar Mitzvah that represented Jacob and our family. It was one of the best days of our lives and she helped to make every detail just perfect! She was inclusive of Jacob through the entire process and made the party all about him. Her attention to detail was incredible from the tables to the menu cards to the hockey shoe laces around the napkins. There was nothing that Lis did not think of for this incredible event. Thank you, Lis, for your vision and thoughtfulness in planning Jacob’s special day! xoxo

  Elisabeth Accardi is amazing! She has an energy and attention to detail that makes planning any event together fun. She is so creative that everything she plans is unique to you. Her staff is amazing and very professional. I have worked with Elisabeth on small family events, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs as well as large corporate parties. There is never anything to worry about when Elisabeth and Upon A Star are on board!

  Working with Upon A Star Events was incredible! They were incredibly professional, on task, on time, and incredibly flexible. The most important things to us were cherished by them and they made it clear that they would put those things first. I was constantly impressed at how ahead of schedule they were, and they never let me worry about anything at all. If it weren't for them my wedding planning process would have been so much more difficult. They handled things with ease, and made every minute of planning enjoyable. Upon A Star Events took care of everything day of-- there were no last minute questions for the bride. My job was to enjoy the day getting ready and have an amazing time with our friends and family. They gave me and my husband the wedding of our dreams!

  Elisabeth Accardi is wonderful to work with. She has created many magical events for me over the years. Elisabeth has unparalleled creativity, relentless energy, and consistent professionalism. Not only are my guests always surprised and delighted, as a host, I am always relaxed and able to fully enjoy the event. I highly recommend Upon A Star.
