Where do I even begin? Lizzy was an incredible addition to my bridal team. My mom and I knew half way through the wedding dress search that we needed some professional help finding...
the perfect wedding gown.
Hiring Lizzy from Agency Eight Stylist was one of the best decisions and investments we made. She helped guide us throughout the wedding dress selection process (as i tried on 50+ dresses), scheduled and joined all of our bridal appointments, helped find accessories to complete the final looks, helped guide the seamstress during the final fittings and she always answered our emails in a very professional and timely fashion.
More than fulfilling her role as a professional stylist and helping us with wedding fashion Lizzy became our friend, mentor and our “emotional support” throughout the very stressful wedding planning journey.
On the day of the wedding- Lizzy and her team were extremely professional and showed up promptly on time, started to steam and prep all of my family's fashion and calm our nerves. Having developed a very close bond with Lizzy before the wedding day, having her there with me early in the morning and throughout the day was comforting; even though our bond was new I felt I had a very close friend by my side all day.
She helped me calm my nerves in the morning, while making sure I looked and felt my best. - even my husband and dad (who had not met her yet thus far) loved having her support on the day of the wedding. She stayed with us throughout all the family portraits, supported my family members, was on point, attentive to all our looks, needs and all details every step of the way. Lizzy supported the photographer and was a key part of our team.
After family photos and before cocktail hour, Lizzy’s team helped me out of my wedding gown, resteamed and seamlessly bustled my gown and redressed me. She helped me change into my second jewelry look- she truly made the day regarding fashion seamless. My mom was able to enjoy my wedding day and be present without worry because she trusted Lizzy every step of the way and knew Lizzy would ensure I looked my best.
Before leaving Lizzy and her team made sure my after party look was ready, items were organized and when changed later that night it was uneventful and seamless.
I have to admit, it never occurred to me to hire a fashion stylist when I began my bridal era journey. My mom was so involved in my journey and we both thought we had everything covered. I wanted to look and feel my best on my wedding day and I owe a lot of it to having Lizzy on my team and by my side. We will always be grateful for all the love, support and fashion advice during our stressful time that ended up being ,“the Best day Ever”.
Working with Agency Eight and Lizzy was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.
I highly recommend investing in the full end-to-end (fashion styling to day of styling) fo...
r the most stress-free and joy-filled bridal journey imaginable.
Fashion Styling Experience:
I first met Lizzy virtually nearly a year before my wedding (August 2024), thinking I’d just need some help finding the dress. HA!
It was evident in that first meeting Lizzy truly knows her stuff.
Not only did we talk through my vision for the dress itself, but with her accessories background from FIT, Lizzy immediately began envisioning the full look — veil, jewelry, shoes - and couldn't have been more spot on with my style preferences.
Lizzy personally set up every appointment, came with me to each one, and guided me toward options that felt right. We ultimately found a gown I loved but wanted a few tweaks and because of Lizzy’s strong relationships with the boutique and designer, they happily made custom changes so the dress felt one-of-a-kind.
There's no way in h*ll without Lizzy I could have achieved all that.
She even took charge of tailoring: booking appointments, attending every fitting, and ensuring the bustle was flawless before we signed off on alterations.
Thanks to all this prep work, the couple of months leading up to the wedding were blissfully free of chaos and “panic buys.”
And as if that weren’t enough — when I mentioned my black-and-white after-party look idea, Lizzy offered to lend me the white cape she wore for her own celebration. (Note: We now call it "the sisterhood of the traveling cape," and it is an honor to be chosen!)
Day of Styling:
I quickly realized based on my chosen venue (outside, ceremony on grass) I would need Agency Eight on my wedding day.
Lizzy and her team absolutely showed up from steaming dresses, to helping me put on my custom sleeves, to checking downstairs on my future husband (who doesn't know how to match his shoes and socks). I can't even explain how much someone who handles every detail like that helps calms your nerves the day of.
Lizzy and her team are the best combination of professional and fun so it just feels like you have extra friends getting ready with you and your closest friends and family. I cannot stress enough how important it is on your wedding day.
At the end of the day, you want to be proactive and not reactive when it comes to hiring Lizzy and her team — because by the time you realize how much you need them, it’s probably too late to fully enjoy the experience they create. Lizzy thinks of things you never would, handles details you didn’t even know were details, and makes sure you look and feel incredible from the moment you start planning to the second you walk down the aisle.
If you want a wedding day where you feel calm, confident, and truly present — hire Agency Eight before you do anything else.
When my wedding planner suggested hiring a wedding stylist, I had never heard of one and was very much on the fence, but it turned out to be invaluable leading up to the wedding an...
d on the day itself. Lizzy came to multiple alteration appointments, gave detailed input, and noticed a mistake that I would not have noticed until my wedding day and insisted it be fixed properly. I found that the alterations appointments can be a bit rushed since they are usually booked back to back, and having Lizzy there as a second set of eyes was so helpful. She even came to an appointment the week of her OWN wedding! On my wedding day, Vanessa from her team steamed my dress and carried it everywhere (needed with a train!) to help me get around and move between photo locations. Getting into small elevators, up and down stairs, and through revolving doors with a large train is definitely a two person job! Vanessa also immediately got the stains out of my dress after our NYC street photos and bustled it. She was such a pleasure to work with and so was Lizzy! I remember saying to my planner on my wedding day that I can't believe I almost didn't hire them!
Lizzy is a true miracle worker, and I have no idea what I would’ve done without her for my wedding. She came to all of my dress fittings and was invaluable with her suggestions and...
insights during the alterations process. On the day of my wedding, having Lizzy by my side put me at such ease. Not only is she incredible at her job, she is detail-oriented and cares about the little things. She put me at ease knowing she was on top of everything before I even had to ask or remind her. She liaises with the venue, the photography team, and hair & makeup team…whatever you need, she’s there. Lizzy is the person you didn’t know you needed until you have her. 11/10 recommend!
This super woman saved my wedding day! I had the pleasure and complete luck of meeting and hiring Lizzy the day of my husbands and I wedding. The morning of our wedding day, my dre...
ss zipper got stuck and would not move an inch up or down. Soon enough, after multiple attempts to fix the situation, the zipper broke entirely and I of course was in tears. Lizzy was found through my amazing wedding planner and by some stroke of luck, had her previously scheduled plans for that morning cancelled due to the weather (I guess the rain did give me some good luck!). She immediately accepted my plea for help and met us at the church, as I was getting ready at my home in long island. From the moment I saw Lizzy, I could tell was just ready to roll! She introduced herself and immediately got to work. She was so calm, organized, and easy-going that it calmed me down despite what had happened not an hour earlier. She sewed me up completely into my dress within 30 minutes. Lizzy was amazing the whole time. She stayed with me throughout our entire wedding day and made me feel so at ease! She helped carry my dress and veil through the streets of NYC and central park, and even cut me out of my dress when I was ready to change into my second dress later in the evening. Lizzy is an amazing person inside out and I am so happy I had the pleasure of having her with me that day. My only regret is that I didn’t hire her before the wedding day!
Lizzy and her team are top tier! Hiring a bridal stylist is one of the first things I recommend to my clients because it is such a game-changer. Having someone incredibly skilled a...
nd knowledgeable in all things fashion is helpful not only for brides, but also for planners. I know my clients will look and feel like a billion dollars, and I'm able to focus on making the magic happen. Lizzy is such a joy to work with and I can't recommend Agency 8 enough!
Lizzy is an absolute gem of a human being and extremely talented at her job. Hiring Lizzy as my bridal stylist was the absolute best decision I made in the few months leading up to...
my big day. Having a bridal stylist was something I was not 100% sure I needed, as most of my friends who got married before me didn’t have one, but now, reflecting back on the day, I simply don’t think I could have survived without her (or at least the day would have been MUCH more stressful on me and my Maid of Honor). Lizzy showed up with a big smile a few hours in advance of me putting my gown on. Her attention to detail is insane and she took care of prepping not only my gown but all of my six bridesmaids’ gowns and steamed all of them, which was beyond kind of her. She has a real “do-er” mentality and jumped in throughout the day to help in any way she could. My dress proved a bit challenging to get in to, and the bustle was also not for the faint of heart – but Lizzy exuded sheer professionalism and competency throughout it all, and I felt super confident in her expert hands. It rained on my wedding day but we still headed outside for photos during breaks in the rain, and having her there to help with my long train and veil and protecting it from the elements was invaluable. I felt confident that the photos were going to come out amazing (which they did!) because Lizzy was standing in the wings, making any adjustments needed to my dress/veil as well as the groom and even the whole bridal party. She comes with a full emergency kit and is prepared for any contingency – which put my mind fully at ease from a wardrobe perspective, when there are so many other things going on all around you on your wedding day. Lizzy is also such a cool person and was fun to hang out with – which is super important because we spent a lot of the day in close proximity! Lastly, I separately enlisted Lizzy to help me with online research for a Sunday post-wedding brunch outfit as well as a potential after party look, and I loved all of her thoughtful and super stylish suggestions, and it took a lot of the stress off when I was only a few weeks out and still didn’t have ideas for outfits, or time to research. Thank you for everything, Lizzy! I would recommend her 1000% to any bride!
Lizzy was absolutely indispensable on our wedding day! I’ll admit that at first I didn’t think I needed a bridal stylist, but now I truly can’t imagine *not* having had one — and m...
ore specifically, Lizzy! She is calm, warm, thoughtful, kind… every quality you would want in someone supporting you on such a momentous day. She handled my dress with incredible care from the moment she arrived to steam it to when she (quickly and easily!) bustled it post-ceremony. She made sure it (and I!) looked perfect in every photo, even if it meant carrying my train for blocks and blocks to make sure it didn’t get dirty. I would hire Lizzy ten times over!
I have no words!!! Other than I am a wedding planner myself and I worked with Lizzy on my OWN wedding day and I now recommend her to all of my clients. She is a dream to work with....
I hired her because I wanted someone to just focus on ME. I wanted someone to be so involved and in tune into making me feel my best and look my best. And Lizzy genuinely made me feel like I was the only person in the room, her focus was totally on me and it was so appreciated. Shes the best person and the best at what she does!
I was calm on my wedding day and that's all thanks to Lizzy. Lizzy steamed my dress and our wedding party suits/dresses. She also bustled my dress and sewed me back in after a gues...
t stepped on my dress and tore a seam. I am sure our photos will also turn out great because Lizzy was there to make sure all attire looked good, hair was in place, lint was removed, etc. Couldn't recommend Lizzy highly enough.
Lizzy is a dream to work with! As a planner, I love hiring Lizzy to join my team to ensure the clients have a seamless day. She assists with all things fashion and dressing - from ...
steaming to organizing 2nd / 3rd looks and accessories to ensuring other VIPs are taken care of. I absolutely recommend hiring Lizzy especially if you wan to feel pampered on your day!!
Lizzy is an amazing stylist and supporter - every bride needs a Lizzy on her wedding day! I’m so grateful that she was there to take care of all the little touches, from fixing my ...
bustle to helping my sisters steam their dresses to helping coordinate our walks down the aisle. She manages to be both upbeat and calming, stepping in wherever needed without being asked. I can’t recommend her enough!
I cannot express enough gratitude for Lizzy's amazing work on my wedding day. Despite Hurricane Henri hitting hard, Lizzy's expertise and dedication ensured that the day went off w...
ithout a hitch. From the moment she arrived to help with getting ready, to keeping my dress and hair looking flawless throughout the photos, Lizzy was an absolute lifesaver.
Even with the extreme wind and rain, Lizzy went above and beyond to make sure every strand of my hair was in place and my makeup looked perfect. She even took the time to sew my bustle together to keep it tight for a night of dancing.
What really set Lizzy apart was her professionalism, talent, and attention to detail. She made sure to get to know me and my preferences before the big day, and her friendly demeanor and positive attitude helped to keep me calm and centered throughout the event.
Overall, I would highly recommend Lizzy's services to anyone in need of a skilled and attentive wedding stylist. She truly made a significant impact on my special day, and I will always be grateful for her exceptional work.
Lizzy Polden was the absolute BEST stylist any bride could hope for. Not only is she an amazing talented professional, she’s also such a cool person. She made the whole process of...
getting ready for my daughter's wedding fun and stress free. Her attention to detail was flawless and keeping an entire wedding party wrinkle and stress free was quite a feat. Especially since Hurricane Henri came to pay us a visit.
I can say enough wonderful things about Lizzy. She made sure everything ran seamlessly even when something went wrong (and something always does) Liz came to our rescue. She even found the marriage license when no one else could. :)
Do yourself a favor and hire Lizzy Polden before you do anything else. Trust me, you won't regret it. Thank you Lizzy for an amazing job. Couldn't get dressed without you.
Lizzy was absolutely incredible! Not only did she bring such positive and calming energy, she was super diligent and singularly focused on ensuring I was looking and feeling great....
Despite having an amazing wedding party and vert attentive MOH, the attention to detail and preparedness of Lizzy was really a game changer (including pulling out a sewing kit to fix my bustle that broke and a tide pen to address a bit of makeup that got onto my dress). Knowing she was there calmed my nerves when I needed it most. A wedding stylist is not something I immediately thought I needed, but it made such a huge difference. I would recommend Lizzy and her services with 100% confidence for any and all future brides.
Lizzy is a MUST HAVE for any special occasion. As a fellow wedding vendor who has worked with her twice, with future work on the horizon, she is worth every penny. Her expert eye a...
nd attention to detail left my clients feeling flawless and it translated through the photography.
Thank you Lizzy for your genius and making us all shine!

in as the officiant!! We will never forget how much she did for us throughout the process. Best decision we made was hiring her!!!! Sweetest loveliest and most talented professional.
I think the best way to describe what an absolute necessity of having Lizzy at your wedding was this story. When you realize your hair extension somehow dips in balsamic vinegar a...
nd leaves a giant black mark down the center of your white wedding dress and you look up in horror and think well guess this is my look now; Lizzy appears out of thin air and calmly whisks you to bathroom and completely removes it in under 5 minutes. I only wish we had a before an after photo. Lizzy was the calming presence I didn’t know I needed. She made me look flawless and kept a smile on my face through hours of photos in 100 degree weather. If you are getting married and haven’t already hired Lizzy. Stop what you are doing immediately and book her. I truly couldn’t have made it through with out her.
Lizzy was literally the best money I spent at my wedding. She was extremely professional, prepared and on top of everything every second of the day. I could NOT have done it withou...

hat the day meant for us. We feel extremely lucky that she was with us on that wonderful day. From bustling to emotional support, to handling family, she was a true ally. We could not have asked for more.
Liz was the stylist for my wedding at La Venta in Palos Verdes, CA. Juggling six bridesmaids and six groomsmen the morning of the wedding is no easy task but she did it, all with ...
ease. From prepping accessories to touching up hair and attire, all while dealing with a difficult photographer Liz made the experience fun and ensured that both myself and future husband were at ease. She meticulously worked to ensure the the suits and dresses looked perfect and no hair was out of place and no tie was crooked! I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist to ensure we looked our best.
Liz was such a highlight of my wedding day. At first we were reluctant as I have a great group of girlfriends who I knew would help throughout the day - but Liz just elevated the ...
day like no one else could! Her energy is so calming and supportive. No request is beyond her call of duty. More importantly, she thought of things we never could have possibly planned for. From foot numbing spray (its a long day of standing) to makeup remover, she was always right beside me. I had an outdoor wedding so preserving my dress from the dirt was no easy feat. Liz was so incredibly helpful, and made each picture the best it could be. My whole family loved her and we all agreed she was easily the best addition to the day. She was beneficial to all. I cant recommend her enough!
Such a lovely personality and a joy to be around on a hugely emotional day!!!! And EXCELLENT skills! As a wedding photographer who has worked alongside Lizzy, I believe she is key...

No words to say how much Liz helped us with our wedding. Pre planing for months and so helpful even after the event! She saw things we would have NEVER seen and as a result we ha...
ve memories and pictures of the day that are priceless. Liz has a strong background in fashion and trends which helped us create a very timeless wedding while still listening to our voices and what we wanted. She was a calming force on the day of the wedding and just made it that much more special. From first meeting, to the weeks even after the wedding choosing photos, we could not have had a more special day without her!!
We got married last August (2019) in Montauk on a very sunny and hot day. We had Lizzy as our stylist and we loved her!! Lizzy came super highly recommended from our planner, Duke ...
+ Van Deusen. It was so nice not having to worry about whether the bridesmaids dresses need to be steamed or if my veil was crinkled. It's hard keeping track of everything when you have photographers and videographers moving around trying to direct you and you're not used to it and not used to having a train. Lizzy helped me move my dress around for the photos, made sure my accessories were staying put, and that everyone looked amazing. It's already such a high energy day being the center of attention and occasionally the point person for the planners, the venue staff, photographers, band, family, friends, etc., it's so nice not having to worry about whether you look okay. I absolutely love our photos and video and how the bridal party and our families looked. Lizzy was such a nice and positive addition - I highly highly recommend getting a stylist and Lizzy!
Not only was it fun having Lizzy around on my wedding day, it was essential. She was calm and always there, but not at all pushy or in the way. Every time I turned around and neede...
d something, she was there with a smile, with my phone or my lipgloss in hand, basically reading my mind.
She was of course also essential in helping everyone get ready and look perfect, which is always somewhat chaotic no matter what.
Couldn’t recommend having Lizzy be a part of your wedding more. She’s the best!
I didn't think I needed a stylist on my wedding day, but my planners assured me I'd be SO GRATEFUL if I did have one. After using Lizzy, I could NOT recommend a stylist more. She d...
id absolutely everything from holding my dress up as we walked to take photos, fixing individual hairs on my head in each and every photo and video shot, helping my bridesmaids with THEIR hair and dresses, spraying my feet with an essential oils numbing cream when they started to hurt, and SO much more. Every time I looked over my shoulder, there she was. Every time I needed something, she'd swoop in without me even asking. She was attentive and SO loving. My entire family fell in love with her and we were so grateful to have her by our sides.
