ail we discussed. Her organizational skills and impeccable taste are truly top-notch.
I had a number of DIY elements at my wedding, and Lisseth and her team handled both setup and breakdown flawlessly. Everything on the day-of ran seamlessly, and I genuinely felt so cared for and supported from start to finish.
Beyond her professionalism, Lisseth is simply a joy to work with. She's kind, calm under pressure, and brings a reassuring presence to what can often be a stressful experience. I'm so grateful to have had her by my side, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a planner or coordinator!

go, she was instrumental in bringing my vision to life. I struggled with designing the aesthetic at first (I know my strengths!), but I also knew that I wanted the wedding to feel romantic, intimate, and elegant. Lisseth helped refine that vision with her brilliant creativity and attention to detail, transforming it into something more beautiful than I could have imagined.
Throughout the planning process, Lisseth was organized, resourceful, and a true partner. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so smoothly, thanks to her and her amazing team. I lost count of how many compliments I received from guests on how stunning, well-coordinated, and seamless the entire event was.
If you want a wedding planner who can take your dreams and turn them into reality with grace and precision, Lisseth is the one. I’m beyond grateful for her hard work and expertise—she made our day perfect!

My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Allore. Lisseth was very patient, empathetic, and kind and delivered beyond our expectations for our wedding! During the wed...
ding planning stage, she was very helpful in figuring out our themes and setting up the infrastructure to keep us accountable during planning. She also had a list of recommendations and helped us with reviewing contracts particularly with understanding what was in scope and anything we may have been missing. We had regular communication with her in the leadup to the wedding and she made multiple onsite visits with us.
On the wedding day itself, we were again blown away by her help! She kept us aligned on schedule and even despite a few hiccups by multiple other vendors, she was able to stay on top of them and deliver us the wedding that we have envisioned. This was all done behind the scenes, so we were able to enjoy our wedding to its fullest extent! We appreciated the many small things that she did such as her flagging a table that we were going to do our rounds so they should stay in seats or grabbing left behind wedding cards. These are just a few stories we heard from our family and friends post-wedding which is a testament to her high standards of service.
We've already recommended her left and right to our family and friends who are getting married and are excited to share our experience publicly here as well! You can't go wrong with Allore!

I had a wonderful experience working with Allore Events and Lissette while planning my wedding. Lissette is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable in event execution, and she was...
always responsive and available whenever I reached out to her outside of our scheduled appointments.
One of the things that impressed me the most was how creative and detail-oriented Lissette is. Within just 24 hours of our first call, she provided me with a vision board that perfectly captured my reception vision. She incorporated all the key elements that I had mentioned, and it truly brought my special day to life. This was such a relief for me because I didn't have to spend my personal time doing research and sifting through overwhelming ideas on social media. Her ability to execute my vision surpassed my expectations.
Aside from her impressive skills and talent, Lissette has a calming presence that instantly made me trust her instincts. I felt confident that she would bring my wedding dreams to reality.
Overall, I highly recommend Allore Events and Lissette for anyone planning their wedding. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication made the planning process a breeze, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

tire Allore wedding planning team.
From the very beginning, Lisseth took the time to understand our vision, listen to our concerns, answer our endless questions, and provide reassurance when we needed it most. Her guidance and professionalism not only made the planning process stress-free but also allowed us to enjoy every moment leading up to the wedding. Her calm demeanor and problem-solving skills were truly remarkable, and ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding, allowing us to relax and cherish every precious moment.
Moreover, her ability to work within our budget and connect us with trustworthy vendors made the entire process so much easier. Her extensive network of professionals ensured that we had a top-notch team supporting us, and we were delighted with the exceptional service they provided.
Throughout the day of the wedding, the Allore team exceeded our wildest dreams. Our guests were in awe of the exquisite details and seamless execution, and many have told us it was the most beautiful and personal wedding they have ever attended.

Putting aside the obviously great choice I made to marry my husband, choosing Lisseth to work with as our wedding planner was the absolute best choice I made for the wedding.
If ...
you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further. Lisseth is a dream to work with: great eye for design, an absolute professional, absolutely on top of scheduling and organization, great at vendor management and communications, and is a really great human being.
There is already so much that needs to be done for a wedding. You need a wedding planner with whom you can "set it and forget it." I had absolute trust in Lisseth to follow through perfectly on whatever I asked of her. And that trust was well placed. The day was flawless.
You also want someone who is going to be fun loving and kind to work with. Lisseth is that person.

d I repeatedly agreed that hiring Lisseth was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Her attention to detail and eye for design is outstanding. Her organization is next-level. Her communication and responsiveness is incredible (emails and texts were always answered nearly instantly, even on Christmas Eve). Saying she goes above and beyond for her clients is really an understatement. She has such a passion for what she does and is truly phenomenal at it. I guarantee your wedding will be more amazing than you ever imagined if you hire her.
