HIGHLY recommend! Lisa is absolutely fantastic. She did the most amazing job! We loved our wedding and owe it to Lisa.
We had tried to organize our wedding on our own and did not get very far... Lisa made it happen – she planned the entire we...dding, did all decorations, florals (including by bouquet), and day-of coordination. It was truly a beautiful wedding and she made the planning process really enjoyable (yes, it is possible).
Planning & Budget: Lisa quickly understood the type of wedding we wanted, what was important to us, and executed accordingly. From the beginning she communicated what needed to happen and what to expect. She laid out a structured timeline and executed it flawlessly. She would let us know what was coming up next, clearly laid out options for us to pick, and gave us enough time to discuss and decide. Sometimes I would get buried with work… she would gently reminded us to make sure that we would stay on track. She helped us pick and handled all communication and coordination with all vendors – Venue, caterers, DJ, Photographer, Videographer, cake…everything.
Over the course of the planning process, we quickly realized that she had it covered, which greatly reduced any stress. Also, I felt like I could text / call at any time for questions, anything that was causing anxiety (she would quickly calm me down), and she was there to help with whatever we needed. On the budget side, she helped us manage the budget with Excel spreadsheets that she would update regularly and actively recommended vendors to help us fit within our budget. It was lovely to work with Lisa and she is ON IT!
Decorations: Lisa did all my decorations including florals and my bouquet. Everything was absolutely beautiful! Together we worked on a Pinterest board to settle on a vision for the wedding and decorations and developed a couple of live mock ups for us to decide on the decorations. She has such a good eye, very detailed oriented, impeccable taste – immensely talented. Also, I did not have to deal with one vendor on anything - chairs, linens, flowers… she did it all!
Day Off Coordination: Everything was seamless. By the time the wedding happened, Lisa had already done such an amazing job that we were not even nervous about anything – we knew she had it covered and 100% she did...down to handing me my drink of choice before going off to take pictures, which to me was heavenly. Finally, I have a really large family – they were all so impressed with how Lisa interacted with them, how she handled everything, and how helpful she was (I think my sister had some sort of issue before the ceremony… yes, Lisa fixed it). My sisters have her number for their weddings...
Book Lisa and Finishing Touch Weddings! It will be (like for us) the best decision we made!
