Creative Concepts by Lisa

o the partial planning package. Lisa was worth every penny and she is absolutely essential to any young professional couple that is too busy to wedding plan on their own and need to put their trust in the right person. She supported me mentally and emotionally throughout the entire process and knew how to handle all of my vendors in the most professional manner. Her intuition and problem solving are top tier. She is also the most phenomenal officiant and made us laugh and cry the entire time. I HIGHLY recommend hiring her first and using all of her vendors because they were all amazing and easy to work with. She made sure my day was perfect and resolved any issues seamlessly. Lisa and her team went above and beyond for us and they were simply fun and enjoyable to work with and be around. If you are going to spend any money on a wedding, creative concepts by Lisa should be the top priority.

feel easy in a very confusing and stressful time. She made our visions and dreams come through. Even through budget concerns, she was able to get us everything we could have ever asked for and more. Lisa is someone who cares deeply for her clients and adapts to each couples needs. She is beyond knowledgeable about the industry, creative, and professional. After our wedding, my wife and I often mentioned how amazing Lisa and Kelly were and how we couldn’t even begin to say how thankful we are. And to further prove how above and beyond they are: we had a food allergy incident with our vendor and while Lisa went to bat dealing with cranky food vendors and sanitizing spaces, her assistant Kelly ran through a down pouring rain storm to grab the Epipen. And they made it all feel okay and safe. I would highly recommend.

e my daughter’s wedding was the one of her dreams. Lisa thought of things that we would never have. Her team is made up of caring and wonderful people who strive for excellence. It was such a great experience and just so beautiful that we have again hired Lisa for my other daughter’s wedding! Bravo Lisa and thank you!

lly understood our wants and needs, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Lisa and her staff were incredibly hands-on, guiding us through every detail for months leading up to our big day. Her meticulous attention to detail was truly impressive—nothing escaped her notice. She ensured that every element of our wedding was executed flawlessly. Lisa’s expertise, combined with her dedication and passion, made our wedding spectacular from start to finish. We are forever grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable. Thank you, Lisa, for making our wedding dreams come true! With love, Josh & Blake

ing Wire: https://www.weddingwire.com/biz/creative-concepts-by-lisa-hamden-mattapoisett/316ae28ae50832f6.html) Excerpt: My husband and I wanted a hands-on role in planning our wedding, so we weren’t initially inclined to hire a wedding planner. An introduction to Lisa during an open house for vendors at our venue quickly helped us realize: you don’t know what you don’t know. For us, the decision to hire Lisa as our wedding planner became about execution – not replacing our creative and/or romantic vision with hers. Where we wanted a hands-on role, CCBL showed us how to make that happen. And, from start to finish, they made it happen. We are so grateful to CCBL for helping to create a perfect wedding day. Of the numerous things we could share to inform the decision-making process of couples considering hiring a wedding planner – and specifically, considering hiring Lisa – vendor selection, timeline management, and day-of coordination were our top priorities in making that decision ourselves. Why? The quality of your vendors will determine the quality of your wedding, plain and simple. Timeline management ensures the vendors you’d like to book will still be available, mitigating last-minute panic-planning. Day-of coordination enables you to be as present as possible on your wedding day. ... None of this even touches upon Lisa’s energy, expertise, and joy she brought to every meeting and interaction. She encouraged us to make choices that were right for us and did everything she could to make it happen. She has an effervescent personality, which we miss having around now that we’re married! We cannot thank Lisa and her entire team enough for everything they did to help us have the wedding of our dreams.

free and seamless experience from start to finish. Lisa's organizational skills are unparalleled. She effortlessly managed every detail, allowing us to relax and enjoy the wedding planning process. Her ability to understand and execute our vision was impressive, and she went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of the day reflected our style and preferences. What truly sets Lisa apart is her exceptional eye for design. From the overall theme down to the smallest details, Lisa helped us navigate through choices, ensuring that every element harmonized perfectly. Her creative input elevated the aesthetic of our wedding, and we received countless compliments on the beautiful design elements she curated. Lisa's calming presence and problem-solving skills also stood out. No challenge was too big for her to handle, and her positive attitude made the entire planning journey enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment, knowing that Lisa had everything under control. We are immensely grateful to Creative Concepts by Lisa for making our wedding day not only beautiful but also stress-free.

needs, and Ann and Lisa handled the set up, ceremony, reception, and clean up like true professionals. The timeline was impeccable and every moment was orchestrated to perfection. If you’re looking for a team that cares about you, your guests, your happiness, and works their butts off, this is it! Mother of the bride’s quote, “This was the best day of my life.” As the bride, I wholeheartedly agree. I got to marry my best friend, with the support of the best wedding team in the business.

the decision to eliminate Pink Olive and go with Lisa . Lisa is the hardest working , down to earth, detail- oriented person you can imagine . In addition , she’s just a joy to work with . We absolutely adore her and we are so grateful to her and her team for making our wedding so incredible !!!!!

respond to messages. She did so much behind-the-scenes work with our other vendors, which was huge for us since we are both busy professionals. The moment when I really thanked my lucky stars for Lisa was when we found out it was almost certainly going to rain on our wedding day. My husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing. Lisa and her team made and implemented a contingency plan that went so seamlessly I really don’t think anyone would have been able to tell that everything wasn’t exactly the way we had always planned it. She also magically materialized adorable umbrellas for us to use during our photo shoot. In summary — Lisa is amazing and you should hire her. All of the good reviews are true!

eate a magical day. We honestly could not have pulled it off without them. Lisa and Traci were communicative and professional and collaborated with us on all decisions which helped to make the build up to our wedding as stress free as possible. The wedding day was incredibly organized and the day of team was fantastic in helping our event run smooth. We could not recommend Creative Concepts by Lisa more to anyone planning their special day!

moment we met them, they exuded professionalism and expertise, immediately putting us at ease. I cannot stress enough how much their services contributed to making our wedding planning journey stress-free and enjoyable. One of the standout qualities of Creative Concepts by Lisa and team was their ability to maintain a constant smile throughout the entire process. Their infectious positivity was uplifting and reassuring, even during moments of uncertainty, rain, heat and general stress. It was evident that they genuinely cared about our happiness and wanted to make our wedding day extraordinary. What truly sets this wedding planner apart is their understanding of the importance of the day. They listened attentively to our vision and desires, offering invaluable suggestions that perfectly captured our dreams.

Every detail was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, creating a breathtaking ambiance that exceeded our expectations. Beyond their remarkable creativity, this wedding planner demonstrated exceptional understanding of family dynamics. They navigated complex relationships and diverse personalities with grace and tact, ensuring that everyone felt included and valued. Their ability to harmoniously blend different perspectives and preferences was nothing short of remarkable.

From florists to caterers, they worked with every vendor which may not be always easy. I felt all interactions was top-notch and everyone seemed happy and shared the same commitment to excellence for our event. This cohesive team worked seamlessly together, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding day ran smoothly. It seems evident that CCBL is highly respected within the industry, and their experience undoubtedly benefited us and reassured us. Every "problem" I presented during the event was quickly dealt with and remedied. I highly recommend Lisa and team to any couple or parents embarking on the journey of marriage. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering support will make your wedding planning experience not only stress-free but enjoyable. Trust me when I say that they are worth every penny and more. Their expertise and dedication will turn your dream wedding into a reality, leaving you with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

To summarize, working with this wedding planner was an absolute joy. Their ability to create a stress-free environment, their infectious smile, their understanding of the day's importance, their adeptness in managing family dynamics, and their phenomenal team all contributed to an extraordinary wedding experience. They come highly recommended by us, and I can confidently say that investing in their services would be worth every penny.

a in 2020 up until the day of the wedding, she had made my husband and I priority. She responded in a timely manner and always kept it professional. It was always what WE wanted. Of course she’d give her expert advice, however, she made sure to get our opinions on every aspect of the planning process. Just like everything else in life, we had a budget for our special day. There were a few vendors that my husband and I were looking into who had amazing work but they were definitely outside of our budget. Lisa had a list of preferred vendors whose prices were very reasonable and we decided to contract with them. Each preferred vendor took time to get to know us and took our likes and dislikes into consideration and we loved that about them. We are so grateful for Lisa, Traci and the rest of the CCBL team for planning THE BEST day of our lives and making sure it was nothing less than PERFECT! We got sooooo many compliments on our big day from the decor to the smooth flow of the wedding day, start to finish. If you want the best for your wedding day then I recommend Lisa and her team. Have an idea of what you want for your big day, a budget that fits your financial status, and you’ll be golden with this team backing you up! We absolutely LOVE Lisa and the CCBL team and you will too!

hat she was pushy, sarcastic, and condescending and did not have our best interests in mind. We also felt that she was inconsistent in responsiveness (sometimes taking a few weeks to reply and other times replying immediately) and while she helped us find a few vendors (photographer, DJ, catering), we had to follow up multiple times over months with her and ultimately ended up finding several vendors ourselves (venue, hair and makeup, videographer, florist). She was also inconsistent in recommending vendors that fit our budget and in helping us establish a realistic budget in the first place. Additionally, we got the sense that she kept brushing off our smaller wedding for larger events and was not very invested in planning our wedding. We also felt that she was not on our side when we ran into issues with vendors. For example, our caterer, who had said they could do a Chinese entree (whole grilled fish) and had scheduled a tasting for us, changed the tasting menu on us last minute. Lisa unfortunately took their side and told us “nobody wants to eat that.” She did eventually talk to the caterers about it, but we wish she had more empathy and tact in this situation. It’s hard enough planning a Chinese-American wedding, and to have our planner dismiss my culture like that was upsetting. Most hurtful was Lisa’s response to our feedback. When we politely mentioned these concerns to her, instead of apologizing, she insulted me and blamed me for her behavior. While we felt that we had been nothing but friendly, patient, and accommodating in our strained relationship, she lectured me on how to be nicer to her instead! We ultimately ended our contract with her due to the many difficulties in working with her.

and my husband work with her, but she has worked with numerous of our friends/coworkers of different backgrounds, nationalities and ethnicities. She always goes above and beyond, is extremely easy to work with, has a plethora of quality vendors she recommends, and overall makes the wedding experience SO much easier. Not only did she impress us every step of the way, but she impressed every single event planner that worked at our venue (which we booked before we hired Lisa)— I still remember having our first meeting with the at-venue coordinator and Lisa coming with her 2 inch thick binder of all the details, perfectly maintained and organized. You know you’re working with someone fab when she’s making an incredible impression not only on her clients, but on other event planning staff in the industry!

She always has a positive attitude and always has you laughing and enjoying the process. And she works her tail off at the event. She is never sitting down or looking at her phone. She is hustling. I am a firm believer in hiring a planner for any event. A planner like Lisa takes on all the stress and responsibilities so you can enjoy the event and not have to worry. She also helps in the planning process to help make important decisions from food and beverage to design and decor. The biggest help for me was creating a budget and sticking to it. Lisa helped me find lower cost alternatives through her relationships with the best vendors in CT. Sometimes you do not realize you need an event planner until it's too late. Don't let yourself get stuck. Instead, call Lisa for a flawlessly executed event that you can actually enjoy as the host. She's THE BEST.

to learn more about Korean culture. When we decided to wear the traditional Korean ‘Han Bok’ for the wedding attire, she FaceTimed us multiple times to go over the color, pattern, and overall design that works well with the wedding theme with the hanbok designer. She suggested the perfect venue with amazing prices and conditions. Her vendors - Photographers, DJ, Caterer, and even last-minute planning changes for the dinner with guests the night before the wedding are easy to work with and provide excellent results. All of our ‘out of ordinary’ questions and requests, Lisa and her team came up with creative solutions. Lisa would be the first contact for all our future significant events.

details, Lisa and her team were on it! Especially the day of the wedding - they took all of the stress out for us and gave us peace of mind knowing everything would (and did) go even smoother than we planned! Lisa was able to help us find ways to save money, and creatively design parts of our special day that we couldn't have done without her! Thank you again Lisa and the entire Creative Concepts team for making our dreams come true!! <3

organized, thoughtful and FUN. But to me, the most valuable aspect of working with Lisa was this - Immediately upon getting engaged, I (like many of you reading this) was instantly inundated with all sorts of advice from friends & family, the most common of which was "try to soak in every moment of your wedding day - you're going to blink and then it'll be over." As a bride, I hated hearing this! I didn't want the day to fly by, and I wanted to feel fully present on my wedding day - especially after months and months of planning. We got married on May 19, 2023 and I am SO thrilled to report that because of Lisa, Marcy, Ann & Traci, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every. single. moment. of our wedding day. In fact, the day didn't fly by at all! We were able to focus solely on all the love that surrounded us - I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING because Lisa's team did it all quietly & seamlessly. As a bride, what more can you ask for? Lisa & her team gave us the incredible gift of TIME to sit back and enjoy the most wonderful day of our lives. From the moment we hired her, I immediately felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Suddenly I was able to focus on the "fun stuff" because I knew that Lisa was handling all of the little things - some of which I hadn't even thought of! Truly don't know what we would've done without her. In Lisa, we found a dedicated planner, a lifelong friend, and an incredibly bright, shining star in the crazy world that is the wedding industry…and we're eternally grateful.

lessly. Not only did she help to see our vision, craft a plan to bring it to life, and surpass our every expectation. Our most special day was so far beyond our wildest dreams, and Lisa's execution of the day and leadership was unmatched. We started the planning process months out. Lisa helped us find our dream venue - a spot we never would have found on our own. She ensured each and every vendor was on board with our hopes and vision for the day. She connected and triple-checked bookings and reservations and made sure the day went on without a hitch. Lisa and her team took the pressure off of us (and our loved ones) so that we could be in the moment and enjoy the night! Our guests and our family most importantly were so impressed with the process. I also had to give a lot of love to Kelly, from Lisa's team, who was by our side the entire day. She made sure that I had everything I needed from lip gloss to a gown fluffing for photos. The entire team works tirelessly while blending in with the day. I would suggest Lisa to any and everyone. If you want the wedding day of your dreams, Lisa is the woman you need by your side from start to finish.

team. From the first interaction we had with Lisa we knew our day was in amazing hands. She actually listens to what you want and works for you! Her attention to detail was amazing. She adheres to your budget and will help you find alternatives that match what you are looking for. She was extremely organized and had all of vendors ready to go on our big day! If we wanted to add or change anything, we knew that Lisa would know exactly where to find it or how to handle any situation. Lisa went above and beyond the week of our wedding. She made us feel like our day was beyond special. She has an amazing team that works with her and everyone on her team is just as detail oriented as she is. If you think that hiring a wedding planner isn’t worth it I can attest and say that it’s not only worth it, but the best investment you can make to ensure your day goes smooth!

tail, caring for everyone involved, and making sure all of my dreams and plans were going to be executed perfectly. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of everything and made the whole day enjoyable. Simply her presence throughout the venue was assured that every part of the wedding would run smoothly. I love her passion for organizing weddings and coordinating them with excellence and professionalism. From the moment I met her, I knew that I could fully trust her. Overall, she is a kind, loving, and caring person to know; it was such a pleasure to get to know her for one of the most important events of our lives. My husband and I are extremely grateful to her and her expertise. So much so that I didn't think I’d be able to find words to describe how truly amazing she is! Also, she has an incredible team that works alongside her and I loved that she made all the vendors feel like they were part of the team as well. She has a gift for bringing groups together to accomplish a goal. Lisa and the entire Creative Concepts team will always have a place in our hearts and have contributed to our wonderful lifelong wedding memories! I recommend Creative Concepts (10/10!) to all brides!

have done it without her. I work off hours and she was so accommodating to my schedule during the planning process which I was very grateful for. She communicated with my vendors and organized everything on the actual day without me having to think about all the little details. I could not be more thankful for everything she’s done for me and for making my wedding a dream. I would recommend her 100x over.

with her. She has been in the business for awhile and has a ton of relationships with vendors. If you tell her what your vision is, she will make it come true…..from the most perfect band or DJ, to the most gorgeous and out of control flowers, to the tiny little décor details and flow of the day. I showed Lisa 1 picture and she made it a reality. She came up with the most thoughtful ideas – instead of escort cards we used bud vases, with name tags, to guide guests to their seats. And for table décor/favors Lisa suggested marble coasters and asked our calligrapher to write guest names on each. SO many of our family and friends approached us and said that every little detail of the day was perfectly executed. Lisa and her team were so easy to communicate with and extremely responsive. HIGHLY recommend!!

ing was Lisa and and she made everything look so seamless and allowed me to enjoy my day. Outside of saying yes to my husband, Lisa is the best decision I made and I don't say that lightly. The minute I met Lisa, I knew I needed her. She’s a complete powerhouse. I wanted someone focused on my husband and I, someone in my corner covering my tracks if I dropped balls, and a sounding board as I navigated a once in a lifetime event. That’s scratching the surface of what I got. She is all I could have dreamed of plus a million more things! DON'T THINK, JUST BOOK LISA! Lisa is a masterclass on professionalism, kindness, organization, crisis management, and finesse. She keeps it real, highlights things that are important, and things that you can pass on all along with a nonchalant and humorous approach. Her value came through immediately and increased every time I spoke with her. She was available for questions, guided me in making decisions, and served as an invaluable sounding board as issues arose. It doesn't matter the state I was in getting onto a call with her (anxious, stressed, sad, mad) or what was happening, I left confident and optimistic that our wedding would be a great day with her at the helm. You can not put a value on that feeling and having someone by your side in this process! With both my husband and I working full time and a venue that required us to bring in everything that day, it would have been impossible to manage every detail such as "how much electricity does each vendor require" or " the timeline of the day" while somehow remaining excited about the reason for it all, that we have found the person we want to spend the rest of our life with. Enter Lisa, who leds with empathy, while acting as your biggest advocate and lead blocker. We had an especially difficult vendor who brought me to tears on multiple occasions and could have derailed our entire event. If I had been in this alone, I would have been a basket case. She showed up direct, professional, and continued to tell us "You two are my priority, I don't care about anyone or anything else. Don't worry, I got this" and she did. To hear that during such a stressful time when you are getting pulled in a million and one different directions, is invaluable. I have tears in my eyes writing this review and thinking about how much comfort, knowledge, support, and invaluable expertise Lisa provided me. I don't know what my day or mental state would have been like without her. If you're reading this and considering hiring Lisa and a planner, the best thing you can do for yourself is hire Lisa & her team. Not only is she spectacular at her craft but truly does care about you. You'll feel it on your first call with her and it will carry through the process. Everyone needs a Lisa in their life and especially on such an important day! A perfect rating doesn't just happen, it requires expertise and commitment to your craft, a strong work ethic, and top notch customer service. That doesn't even begin to cover it with Lisa. Not to mention, her team! Shout out to Kelly, Chelsea and Marcy! Talk about complete ROCKSTARS! There are no weak links with Lisa’s team, they are the smartest, warmest, most boss ladies you’ll ever come across.

human who will quickly become your friend, confidant, and keep you laughing and smiling throughout every point of the process. Lisa will stop at nothing to plan and produce the wedding of your dreams. My husband and I dreamed of a larger-than-life 200 person black tie wedding-turned-rock concert in a 100 year old club. Lisa was THE PERFECT PERSON to work with. She created a full-scale production, blew all expectations out of the water, built a legendary vendor dream team, and drove with a level of preparation/preparedness so we felt only pure bliss on our wedding day. Lisa went above and beyond the role of a wedding planner in every aspect imaginable. Planning, design, expertise, education/advice, orchestration, and day-of execution only scratches the surface - and Lisa executes with world-class professionalism, grace, and her beaming personality. It was truly the best day of our lives. Lisa - you are the one of the most talented people in this world. You work harder than anyone I've ever met, your communication is fast as lighting and effective, and your shining light of a personality is evident in the lifelong friendships and business relationships you've built. You handled every request, challenge, change of mind, and detail with your incredible personality, sense of humor, and determination. Your expertise, work ethic, and passion for celebrating love is evident in the work that you, the incredible CCBL team, and the vendor relationships that you've built over the past 13+ years. You were my rock when I needed it and won over every single person in our families while exceeding expectations to make our dreams come true. Every call, meeting, zoom, text, and email had us smiling and laughing all while you worked nonstop. We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you and the amazing CCBL team, watch you create magic, and gain a friend for life. THANK YOU LISA 🤍

oordination between all of the vendors and guests. She is very on top of what needs to be done beforehand so the wedding day goes perfect. We highly recommend using Lisa's preferred vendors list as they were all 10 out of 10.

ything we asked. She had fantastic recommendations for other vendors to achieve the exact wedding we wanted, and her team's professionalism and organization on the day were stellar. We've recommended her to numerous friends and family members, and we could not recommend her highly enough for any event.

er, and after hiring them.... I would never not recommend a wedding planner. Their team took our wedding to the next level and made my life so much easier. Not only is the team great at their job, they are all amazing humans! They are so nice, caring, and genuinely about you as a person. The BEST thing we did for our wedding, was hire Creative Concepts by Lisa. They helped me surprise my now husband with an awesome grooms cake, they helped make decisions about tablescape, they helped with determining proper etiquette of wedding traditions, they helped execute the most perfect reception and ceremony, the list could go on for pages!

t but I can honestly say that we were able to soak in as much as we could/enjoyed every moment and that is only because we had CCBLT. Lisa and her team were with us every step of the way, giving honest opinions and offering their creativity to make the wedding always dreamed of, come to life. If there were any concerns or decisions that seemed tough to us, Lisa always provided feedback (her wedding/event expertise is unbelievable) or solutions that made the decisions easy. I could not have made it through the covid postponement year without Lisa’s encouragement and constant updates on how to move forward-always assuring me that the special day would happen. Her positive energy and attitude are contagious! Not to mention, she is ridiculously funny! From our first conversation, it was very clear that her priority is making the couple get the day they wanted. Whatever needed to be done to do that, she was on it—always one step ahead too! Lisa and her team handled EVERYTHING the day of and if something small did go wrong..I still have no idea. It’s the little things they handled that truly let you enjoy the day (I really can’t stress that enough). My maid of honor said that she has NEVER seen or been in a wedding go as seamless as ours. There are so many different personalities Lisa had to juggle and she knew exactly how to approach each one of them and everyone loved her! On the day of our wedding, we went through a situation that does not happen often and never imagined having to deal with. Lisa handled the situation so calmly that not even the biggest thank you could express how grateful I am she was there. I could not recommend CCBLT enough! You will NOT regret it.

wedding and leave each person feeling fully satisfied; she and her team are meticulously organized and will think of every detail so you don't have to; she is wildly experienced and frequently interviewed as a wedding expert (and can pull miracles out of a hat); and above all she is a GEM because she is the Italian mother you never knew you needed who will laugh with you and give you a shoulder to cry on whenever you need. Lisa goes so far above and beyond. She helped us through not one, but TWO date changes due to covid and all of the logistical chaos that comes from coordinating that with all the vendors. She checked in on my fiance and I, and mailed us furniture (as a gift) when she heard that a covid move had left us temporarily without. She stayed up extra hours into the night (before waking again around 4am on our wedding day) to finish a last minute request I'd given her at our rehearsal dinner (thank you!!). She stepped in as our officiant (and hit it out of the park) when our original couldn't make it. She was so brilliant that our friends went out of their way to tell us and her that she was the best planner they'd ever encountered. I completely agree. Truly, look no further. I recommend her to every friend and family member I know who is getting married, and she is absolutely part of our family now. Lisa's the one that you want.

, Lisa was with us every step of the way keeping us updated and helping us be confident in the decision to ultimately postpone a year. Especially as a “covid couple,” Lisa was invaluable in designing and executing our perfect day. She saw the overall vision I imagined even when I couldn’t pin point exactly what I wanted. Lisa truly thinks of everything, her attention to detail is unmatched! Day of, I didn’t have to worry about a thing with Lisa in our corner, which really let my husband and I enjoy the day to the fullest. I can’t recommend Lisa and her team enough!

e how my daughter's 10/2021 wedding would have happened without her. As the mother of the bride, I began looking at venues and calling caterers in 2019. In the process, it quickly became obvious to me that organizing a wedding is a monumental task and my husband and I needed help. After reading many glowing reviews, I gave Lisa a call and instantly knew based on her confident, informed answers to my questions and friendly upbeat personality that she was the planner for me. I'm so thankful that I hired her! She was always available by phone and email, and enthusiastic about meeting both in person and via zoom. She patiently answered countless questions, recommended superb vendors, and gave us great advice on (and organized) everything from floral and tent design to music, transportation, and timing. When the pandemic hit, she reached out to all our vendors and helped us change the date not once, but twice! When the officiant was unavailable at the last minute, Lisa stepped in. In the end, our daughter's wedding day was perfect. Lisa and her team were totally on top of every detail -- the bus schedules, the set up, the ceremony, the reception, and the clean up -- and put in an amazing amount of work to make sure everything happened flawlessly. I was so totally comfortable with Lisa and her team's organizational skills that I was able to relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding as if I were a guest. I wasn't worried about anything; instead, I danced, laughed, smiled, toasted, cheered, and loved every moment. If I were going to do it all again, there is no question that I would start by hiring Lisa. I highly recommend that you do the same. She is unquestionably THE BEST!

special day... Every minor detail, question, adjustment, vendor communication, etc. There really is nothing Lisa and her team didn't think of or handle with the utmost professionalism. Due to Covid-19, my wife and I were lucky to have the privilege of Lisa in our corner for 25 months. She guided us every step of the way including coordinating rehearsal the night before and logistics the day of of the wedding, There really are no words to describe our love and appreciation!

tart at the beginning. Before even getting engaged, I knew that I would hire Lisa as my wedding planner. Working in the catering and events industry I was a bride that came with high expectations and big dreams! Lisa was without a doubt the best decision I made and I would highly recommend you do the same. She is not only one of the most genuine and loving humans, she is also a badass logistical goddess and has an eye for details like no other.  When it came to wedding planning and the wedding day itself...my wife and I had 1 goal in mind....to be truly present and enjoy every moment. Hiring Lisa allowed us to do exactly that.  Lisa and her team hit the ground running vetting potential vendors and helping us to nail down our design vision. We were planning an out of state wedding but with Lisa by our side, the struggles you would anticipate having did not exist. There never came a time in our planning process where we didn't feel heard, loved and supported. Especially once the pandemic hit.  Covid-19 was a HUGE curveball that was thrown our way but we never had to face anything alone. Throughout our postponement, micro wedding (where Lisa married us) to our almost cancellation, rebooking and then finally the wedding weekend Lisa was our superhero. She handled our indecisiveness, tears, anger, fear and any other emotion that you could think of with professionalism, grace and the utmost genuine love. We can not say enough amazing things about our experience with Lisa. Cut to our wedding weekend in Maine. My wife and I are pretty type A people and had a very clear idea of how our celebration would look, feel and be experienced....and yet again...Lisa hit the nail on the head. We were speechless. From the minute we arrived on site to the second we drove off property, Lisa handled it all and we can not be more grateful for her. Lisa truly executed our day flawlessly. From vendor communication, logistics, timing, to design details - she went above and beyond and THAT is why we hired Lisa and why you should too!  Because of Lisa, we were able to be truly present in each and every moment of our wedding weekend + that is the greatest gift we could have received. We began as colleagues in the industry and ended up as friends...and that is just what happens when you get the pleasure of working with Lisa. xoxo

y any concerns I had about how the details of the day would play out. I had a wonderful time at the wedding knowing I could enjoy and feel confident that everything was being handled . Lisa gave us many ideas and insights into things we wouldn't have thought to do. Working with Creative Concepts was one of the best decisions my daughter and I made while in the midst of planning her wedding. Thank you again to Lisa, Kelly and Ann..... THEY WERE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kathy Chase

I spoke on the phone with a few planners but there was an instant connection with Lisa. My mother and I immediately felt like she would be the one who could get the job done, and do it well. We reached out to Lisa in January of 2019 and booked her for a month of coordinator for our August 2020 wedding as we already had most of the planning completed. She was flexible with meeting us closer to my home town in NY instead of driving the hour to get to her office in Hamden, CT. She was accessible through email as well as text when we needed her. Once the pandemic hit, Lisa was such a great resource. She immediately reached out to all her clients and brides, she always kept us updated with NYS and CT guidelines. We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding to August of 2021 and she worked with us to find a new date as well as helped us move all our vendors over. We had multiple zoom meetings throughout the postponement where she reassured us as well as kept us on track. She was extremely detail oriented and her "file" of us was constantly being updated with new details and changes. For our wedding month, she reached out to our vendors, we felt confident that all our vendors were kept up to date. Our wedding weekend also went smoothly, we met up a few days before for a "drop off" of our stuff and went over every detail thoroughly. Lisa was helpful at our wedding rehearsal where she continued to provide guidance to our wedding party and family. Jillian was our hotel attendant. She was lovely, she coordinated the flowers, kept the bridal party on track and assisted with anything we needed. She was also in contact with Lisa in regards to guests getting onto the shuttles for the reception. Lisa and Ann were at Le Chateau during our event. We felt that things went as smooth as possible and the night went off without too many hitches! Lisa was able to get all of our decor/things packed into my mom's car at the end of the night and made sure we had nothing to worry about. Overall, my husband, myself and my mom have been very impressed with Lisa and her team. She truly is very knowledgeable about the industry and would highly recommend her for your wedding journey! I applaud the CCBL team for continuing to provide such amazing service and doing it with such grace, despite the pandemic and all that the wedding industry has had to face!

oom calls to guide us through the process. She is super knowledgeable about the industry and has your best interest at heart. She made our vision come to life and did it seamlessly. She and her team were amazing to work with. We can't recommend her enough!

nd was like a fairytale. There was so much attention to detail, she thought of everything to make our day absolutely stunning! Lisa was also so helpful with updating us on all the Covid19 guidelines/changes and helping us navigate having a safe wedding for our family and friends! Ann, Kelly and Chelsea were also present on our wedding day- they were beyond wonderful and helpful. Lisa is truly great at what she does, you will for sure be in great hands with her! we are so blessed to have hired her for our wedding!

tremely helpful and knowledgeable. Our wedding was perfect. We couldn't have done it without Lisa. She is truly the BEST in the business! Lisa is like the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella! We have no words and so many words. Don't bother looking for another planner, because no one can live up to Lisa.

o have Lisa in our lives. Working with Lisa professionally, she demonstrates everything you want in a planner. She is creative, thoughtful, detail oriented and goes above and beyond her "job description". Before being engaged, we knew without a doubt that we would hire Lisa to be our wedding planner. That was the first and BEST decision we ever made as an engaged couple. We were planning for a big celebration in Maine on 10/10/20...as you all know that didn't happen. But what did happen next was pure magic. When we decided to postpone our celebration to 2021...yes we cried, and were sad...but not for long. Within 2 days we had all of our vendors re-booked for our new date AND we had a new venue and vendors booked for our micro wedding in 2020. This is all thanks to the amazingly dedicated Lisa. Lisa helped transform our mindset and really made our wedding day so special. Not only was she there from set up to cleanup, but she officiated our ceremony as well!! I can not tell you how special it was to have Lisa not only by our side through the planning, postponing and planning again of our wedding BUT to have her marry my wife and I was an incredible experience. I recommend Lisa to anyone and everyone planning any type of celebration. She will more than exceed your expectations and I promise you will be finding more reasons to celebrate in the future just so you can hire her again! We love you Lisa and can not wait to continue this journey into 2021 with you.

. My husband Joe and I met Lisa in 2019 (pre-COVID) to plan our September 2020 wedding. From the moment we sat on Lisa’s iconic teal blue couch, she got us excited for our wedding in way we hadn’t yet felt, and let us both breathe a sigh of relief to know we had someone who could really take care of everything for us. From that first meeting on, Lisa was a force of nature; she negotiated with vendors, toured venues with us, provided us with amazing décor ideas and generally made it so that the process was stress free. Then COVID happened. Without hesitation, Lisa took our big 180 person wedding and created an intimate wedding that was even better than before. Lisa worked directly with our families to make sure they were in the loop and knew what they needed to do (my brother officiated and our other siblings performed a song for us), and worked with her preferred vendors (who were also out of this world) to create a dream wedding. And this was all before the wedding day. On our wedding day, Lisa made it so that we could relax and enjoy every second knowing that she had it all taken care of. It was an actual dream. Sitting here today, I cannot think of one thing I would change about the day (and I’m the world’s biggest critic). Lisa is so much more than a wedding planner. In a year that was so tough for my family (for certain non-COVID reasons) Lisa created this bright light at the end of the tunnel. She created a day for all of our families to forget about the bad and celebrate the good. Our wedding day and memories that have come with it will be forever tied with Lisa, and we’re so thankful for that. In just one short year Lisa became a part of our family and we encourage anyone who is looking for an unforgettable day to make her a part of yours.

then-fiance and I could tell right off the bat that Lisa was a winner and her services were worth all that she charged and more. She got to know us as people, not just as clients. Lisa worked to really understand our vision for a wedding (which was admittedly a little bit offbeat), and made sure she was with us at our visits with our caterer, our florist, and at a tour of the venue. Despite multiple changes of mind (by us) on the details, Lisa lined up a very affordable, unique, and memorable wedding for us and our 180 guests. Then COVID hit. Even though we could no longer have as large a gathering as we planned, Lisa resurrected our wedding and made it even better than before. She worked to find us a different caterer and bakery that were more appropriate for our new, small setting and stayed in constant contact with our venue about our changing plans. What Lisa created for us was the most special, intimate, and thoughtful wedding I have ever attended--even though I admit I'm biased! In a year when it seems like just about everything is going wrong, Lisa created a day for us and our families where no worries or concerns existed and nothing else mattered in the world. My wife described it the best when she called the wedding a dream come true. We will remember how Lisa made us feel for the rest of our lives. There are not many people you hire to help with a job and end up truly calling a friend, but Lisa is definitely one of them for my wife and I.

. 2020 has been a difficult year for all, some more than others. Although my fiancé and I have no right to complain we were drastically effected by covid when it hit in March of 2020. Being both ICU nurses we had to quickly face our fears and help patients in need. After getting through those emotionally and physically draining months we emerged in the summer knowing that our wedding would surely be effected. After countless days and nights spent stressed about our wedding we met Lisa. With only a month and a half lisa was able to find my dream venue at the Owenego, book all my vendors, and bring my boho wedding dream to life. My wedding was not only beautiful, it was safe, organized and full of love. Lisa became like family and really put her whole heart into our wedding day. With all that being said my fiancé, family and I cannot recommend her enough!

rom my first contact with her, I knew we were in good hands. Her quick responses, her thoughtful questions and her kind demeanor made our choice easy. You can tell from the second you speak to her that she absolutely loves what she does and that she cares so deeply about you. She helped us plan our dream wedding in 4 months. She completely took over on finding us a new venue, helping with every decor detail, establishing a timeline that made sense, finding us additional vendors, and working with the vendors we already had. Her knowledge of the guidelines and restrictions due to COVID helped us plan in the safest way possible. I honestly could not have done this without her. She made our dream beach wedding possible. Hurricane/Tropical Storm Isaisis tried to stop our day when our venue lost power, but Lisa saved our day by being in direct communication with our venue, securing another food option and providing reassurance that my husband and I would get married on our day no matter what. She was our Justice of the Peace and made us feel calm and loved while standing together saying "I do". Throughout our wedding day/night, Lisa kindly kept my husband and I informed on time and what was going to happen next. As both our Planner and Justice of the Peace, Lisa was the perfect choice, especially in these times of COVID. If you are on the fence on whether to contact Creative Concepts by Lisa - DO IT. Just for the sole fact that I had absolutely no worries on my wedding day. I knew deep down that every detail was in her care and my day went on flawlessly. I cannot recommend her services enough.

we are so glad we used her! She was very perceptive and let us go at our own pace. We gave her a little bit of info about ourselves and our likes and she came up with the perfect ceremony. We also took her recommendations for florist and photographer. Both were amazing and made our day very special. Her enthusiasm and passion for what she does helped us to have an unforgettable day. Thank you, Lisa!
