From the moment that my fiancé and I Zoomed with Lisa during our initial consult, we felt at ease and in good hands. We laughed, bonded, and began our planning journey together that would last over a year. I had a lot of big dreams and visions, and Lisa took each of them seriously but respectfully as we navigated budgets and venue restrictions. I often referred to Lisa as my fairy god mother because she truly made my vision come to life. While she created and executed thoughtful details that brought me to tears over my wedding weekend, she was also a solace and cheerleader for me during the emotional, difficult parts of wedding planning. Her advice, wisdom, and knowledge about the wedding industry is vast but also detailed and tailored to her clients. She quickly picked up on our likes and dislikes and made sure to introduce us to vendors that we would mesh well with. Lisa continuously impressed us with her knowledge of venues and vendors – sometimes knowing more about venues than the venue itself! I never felt as if she was trying to upsell us in order to make more money or to work with a vendor just because she liked them. Lisa’s guidance and professionalism led us to having the most perfect, flawless day that we could have ever hoped for. When my hotel room didn’t have a full length mirror while I was getting ready, she bought one on her way to the venue. That is only one small example of the attention to detail and love that Lisa puts towards her clients and events. She is a seasoned professional that is enjoyable, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I will miss working with her. Thank you for such an amazing experience and incredible wedding!
Finding Lisa was our answer to prayer. Lisa took the weight off my shoulder having to plan our destination wedding in Michigan from California! I appreciated how she recommended vendors based on our needs and vision. She is focused on the end goal of having a successful event while maintaining a positive and uplifting spirit. The consensus from our guests was that it was the best wedding they’ve been to.
Lisa is SO professional, a delight to work with, and truly made planning a wedding as easy and stress free as I could imagine. She immediately picked up on what we were trying to achieve and executed it perfectly, even when we weren't great at expressing what it was we wanted! She is intuitive about what couples want and has great relationships with fantastic vendors - we were happy with every single vendor she found for us and we ENJOYED working with her. She also really helped us commit to our vision of size/budget.
From when we first interviewed her, Lisa just clicked with us. She's creative, passionate, smart, and organized - everything we were looking for. She's a true expert but perfectly laid back. She listens well and keeps track of all the details so we didn't have to. Her lists of pre-vetted vendors and recommendations cut our planning and research time down considerably, and I knew at each decision point we could never make a misstep with her at our side. The best part was the way she showed up on the wedding day - full of smiles, love, joy, and kindness, even when faced with stressful family members - a true professional. Her (now husband) even helped out and since we'd met him already a few times, it was like we were being cared for by our very best friends. Lisa was simply amazing - I cannot recommend her highly enough!
We could not have asked for a better planner than Lisa! We had multiple check-ins with her throughout the planning process and each one put us more and more at ease. She was always responsive and willing to meet us whenever worked for us. She took care of everything on the day of and went above and beyond. She had wipes ready to help clean my dress after we took photos and it got dirty at the bottom as well as texted me at the exact moment we became husband and wife. It's those little details that made us feel like we were in good hands and like all of our wants and needs would be taken care of. We can not recommend Lisa enough!
Lisa took care of everything on the day of our daughter's wedding, (down to delivering my husband's cocktail after his wedding toast speech). So easy to work with and her attention to detail is awesome.
Lisa was AMAZING to work with from the start. We hired her for our 9/4/22 wedding as a Day-Of Coordinator, but she took a lot of time with us leading up to the wedding to confirm details/scheduling/etc. as we continued to set, change, and re-set plans. She is incredibly responsive, efficient, and knowledgable, and we trusted her input and suggestions throughout the process.
Lisa was there to run through our ceremony rehearsal, meet our wedding party and parents, and to become familiar with our synagogue’s space. On the day of our wedding, she made sure things were being done in a timely manner, and even brought the bridesmaids and myself lunch upon request, and drove us to the synagogue.
Lisa’s ability to multitask is unmatched, and she does not miss a beat…she knows what you need before you know you need it! We knew we were in GREAT hands with Lisa - she is extremely professional and also relatable and easy to connect with. We thank you for all of your hard work and attention to us, Lisa! :)
If you are looking for a wedding Day of Coordinator, look no further, Lisa Gebhardt and LG Event Design is an "Outstanding" Wedding Day of Coordinator. Our experience with Lisa was exceptional. Lisa was timely, inciteful, attentive, organized, and responsive during pre-planning sessions, our rehearsal and throughout our entire wedding day / reception – a true professional and beyond. Her attention to detail was extraordinary for maintaining our timetable, running errands, set-up, decorations, seating and everything in between. Lisa’s communication was brilliant with not only us, but our entire vendor and venue team. She kept everything under seamless control during the entire wedding day and reception event. If you are looking for a stress-free and happy day, partnering with Lisa and LG Event Design is one of the best decisions you will make. We highly recommend Lisa, and she will not disappoint.
Lisa is amazing! We hired Lisa as our day-of coordinator and she truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and that we had nothing to worry about, even helping and supporting us through 2 postponements and multiple venue and vendor changes! Our venue was an open space and Lisa was so helpful in giving vendor recommendations, advice, answering my many questions, and thinking of all the little things that made our day come together perfectly. We could not recommend Lisa more, she was truly a pleasure to work with, is so professional and organized, and our day would not have been as amazing as it was without her!
Lisa is unbelievable - she was so helpful in sourcing vendors, troubleshooting the random assortment of issues that come up on wedding day, and generally be a hugely calming presence for us (and our families!)
We hired Lisa to be our day of coordinator, but she really provided so much more support than that - helping us find great vendors, working to build the layout of the space, and helping to coordinate our day after brunch. She was so thoughtful in her approach to all aspects of our wedding and is generally just a delight.
She also was very enthusiastic in learning about the various traditional Jewish elements of our ceremony, even though they were previously unfamiliar to her. And she incorporated those details seamlessly into our wedding plan.
Would hire Lisa again in an instant!
Lisa was simply a joy to work with. We hired Lisa to be our Day of Event Coordinator and she could not have been more helpful. Lisa helped answer questions every step of the way in the planning process and met with us several times to review our planning progress. She provided us with so many helpful tips and ideas, truly helping us create a wonderful wedding. Lisa was so personable and friendly, she felt like a genuine friend. Lisa never led us astray and when our special day finally arrived, Lisa delivered wonderfully in every way imaginable. Cannot recommend LG Event Design more highly, you will not be disappointed!
Lisa is a true professional. She's knows her stuff! We could never have had the wedding of our dreams without Lisa. She made great suggestions when it came to vendors for linen, food, and music. Do the smart thing and hire Lisa as your planner. My wedding day was 100% stress & drama free. It was truly perfect!
If you are in the market for a wedding coordinator, and trust me if you're getting married you need one, STOP looking now. It's one of the most important days of your life so don't entrust it to an amateur. Lisa from LG EVENT DESIGN was absolutely phenomenal. The time she took in not only learning our vision but getting to know us as people really made the difference. We had a destination wedding with a large bridal party and a bunch of moving parts from shuttle bus, to multiple hotels, vendors, etc. We never had to worry about any of it because Lisa was on it. Her and her team were attentive, professional, and all around fun people. She played a major role in making our wedding day one the best of our lives. She has become like family to us and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Lisa was amazing. She helped with anything we needed. She was so patient and professional. She set up everything to look just like we were hoping. She ran the errands and made the day go by smoothly
Lisa and her team are amazing. From the moment she came on the scene I knew we were in good hands. My daughter and her fiancé envisioned a wedding in Detroit and my expertise, (as the MOB) was strictly suburbs oriented. Lisa jumped right in, had the connections and relationships that were needed and never said no. She is warm, kind, professional, calming and was excited to help them have their perfect day. And she is devotedly Team Bride. You simply can’t go wrong.
There would have been no wedding without Lisa. Because of COVID, we had to make so many changes over the course of two years. And Lisa not only patiently stuck it out with us, she helped us make critical last minute changes, including a venue change TWO WEEKS before the date. Any bride would be lucky to work with Lisa - she is so professional, fun, kind, and chill!! Our wedding was an absolute dream (so many people commented on how this was the GOAT wedding) and the day of was seamless. I had no stress. Lisa - thank you for everything. Words will never express how grateful we are. We said this over and over but you were a God send <3
Lisa was THE BEST!! We couldn't have asked for a better person to help make our wedding day absolutely perfect! She really took care of us from start to finish and made our day stress free so we could enjoy every moment! If you're considering a day-of coordinator or wedding planner I would definitely recommend Lisa! Thank you again for everything!
If you don’t want to be stressed- hire Lisa! She is amazingly fun to work with, takes care of details, & truly helps you enjoy the wedding experience. I am a corona-bride who had to completely change my wedding and Lisa was there every step of the way. She helped me make a spontaneous mini wedding come true. She had great advice and I felt like I had a wedding expert on my team when picking vendors and negotiating changes. When my family was stressing me out, Lisa was a listening ear. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. Will use her for every event for the rest of my life!
Lisa provided tremendous support throughout the planning process and wedding day, including great flexibility with a change of both date and venue. She helped manage expenses by sharing vendor discounts and handling rental delivery herself. The support provided was above and beyond .
But most importantly she is a joy to work with - offering unique ideas while always respecting wishes of the couple. She worked extremely well with all the vendors, and clearly has their respect and trust. Her communications were clear and kept everyone in the loop. She knew just when to step up and provide follow-through on so many final details. She helped make the day a wonderful experience for the couple, family and guests.
We hired Lisa as our day of coordinator! Wow, what a necessary thing to do! EVERYONE needs a Lisa on their wedding day. The attention to detail made me feel like Lisa was a part of the planning the entire time. She had her "tool belt" full of things we needed all day. She even ran out to get eyelash glue when I cried my lashes off after the ceremony. Lisa handled so many small details that added up to be major things- the set up of the special details, picking up the favors, greeting guests, handling questions, managing vendors & timeline. She even drove everything back to our hotel suite. When we arrived, everything (including the seating chart, votive candles, photos, etc.) were placed nicely back in the suite all boxed up. Even the cake and card box!
Again, everyone needs to experience this on their wedding day. I highly suggest you hire LG Event Design. THANK YOU LISA!! <3 xox Erin & Aaron
My husband and I loved working with Lisa. She helped us find vendors, coordinated all of the vendors on our wedding day, and really helped keep me sane throughout the process. Our meetings were like hanging out with a friend which helped relieve my anxiety. I had a big dream of trees in a historic ballroom and she saw the vision and helped me believe it was possible, AND THEN made it happen! I was so excited and our wedding was fantastic!
We hired Lisa as our wedding planner for a late outdoor October Wedding. We had a 2 year long engagement and she was with us every step of the way. Her and my now wife kept in close contact about all the details, they met occasionally to plan or to meet other vendors, and she really kept us in check when our work schedules got overbearing. When the day finally came, Lisa was on the ball the whole day. It rained and when we knew we were going to have to move inside, she fixed everything to make sure it was still beautiful and special. She really kept everything organized on a day where we were scatterbrained and things were looking more chaotic. We were wed without a hitch thanks to her despite many wrenches being thrown her way. At the end of the night, she was the last one still working, ensuring all our gifts made it to our hotel. I really can't speak any more highly of her and would recommend her to any couple getting married. She made a lengthy and sometimes overwhelming process seem seamless, and the day itself ended up being the best day ever. I'll forever be grateful for all the hard work she put into it.
Hiring Lisa to be our day-of coordinator was easily one of the best decisions we made during our planning process! SHE IS AMAZING! I had been doing most planning from New Jersey, and was recommended by a very close friend to reach out to Lisa. Right off the bat... she had vendors, ideas, and made me feel totally confident that she would help us to pull together the perfect day. She was communicative, extremely helpful when organizing details with vendors, and was always willing to go the extra mile to help us. She also checked in when I hadn't replied to an important email which I was incredibly thankful for.
Her assistance with the wedding party and guests day-of was unmatched and I cannot thank her enough for helping our day to run so incredibly smoothly! Lisa alleviated all of my stresses from planning out of state- She kept me calm, pulled together all of my crazy decoration ideas the day before (during a crazy downpour at our run through!). Lisa made sure each and every detail was executed, and surprised us with the greatest gift of all: Dominic, the petting zoo donkey, serving beer and spiked seltzer during our cocktail hour. He was the talk of the party, and the last puzzle piece that Lisa pulled together behind the scenes that wowed us yet again!!
I strongly recommend hiring LG Event Design for your day, not only because of the incredible experience we had as a couple, but because I know that Lisa genuinely cares about her clients and that she will go above and beyond to make sure everything goes as planned. And even if things get a little mixed up and don't go as planned, Lisa will be there, utility belt handy, to help anyone who might have been stung by hornets before the ceremony, if the groom cuts his knuckles and needs band-aids, or a bridesmaid needs help applying her eyeliner (these are all scenarios that popped up that were handled flawlessly by our Wonder Woman, Lisa!!)
You'd be foolish to hire anyone other than LG Event Design for your party planning needs- I hope we have the chance to work with her again in the future!
Our wedding would not have happened without Lisa. When we first met with her, we had a vision, a laundry list of things to do and a beautiful venue that supplied the refreshments…and nothing else. Lisa, like the godsend that she is, turned our dream into a reality. She went above and beyond to make sure that our special day was truly special. From the beginning, it was apparent that her organizational skills were second to none. She showed us her “wedding bible” she had created for us that outlined all the major tasks that needed to be accomplished before the “I do’s” could be said. Her “bible” was so complete and thorough, that we knew early on she was the right person for the job. She made the planning process a relative breeze. She handled communications with vendors, including setting up and attending meetings the them. She gave us her honest advice on whatever issues we were having. When we started to freak out that something was going wrong, Lisa was there to calm our nerves. You name it, she had an answer for it. And just when we thought that Lisa couldn’t get any better, the Big Day arrived, and she really shined. She was at the venue from the crack of dawn until 4am the next day. Lisa beautifully setup the location exactly as we had envisioned. She made each of us our own special “emergency wedding day kit” that had everything from snacks and drinks to sewing kits and Tide pens. She coordinated the timeline, vendors, and wedding party with military precision. When the caterer got behind on busing tables, there was Lisa grabbing every dirty dish that she could carry. When someone got sick and made a mess in the bathroom, there was Lisa with the rubber gloves on. When we say our wedding would not have happened with out Lisa, we truly mean it. We are forever grateful for all her hard work and dedication. We HIGHLY recommend that you choose Lisa as your wedding planner…you will be wasting your time trying to find someone better!
As a floral provider for over 80 weddings each season, we work with many brides and event planners/coordinators. Lisa was exceptional. She was responsive, set up all the meetings and consultations, attended those meetings and provided a great connection between our designers and the couple. After one of our meetings she even illustrated a drawing of a ceremony arch I described and it was spot on! From the vendor perspective, Lisa is THE choice to make your day a success!
When people tell you that hiring a wedding planner was the best money they ever spent or that it was worth every penny, I believe it to be true. When people tell you that hiring Lisa as your wedding planner was the best money ever spent or that it was worth every penny, I KNOW it to be true.
I started at the Ford Field bridal show. I just snagged as many fliers as I could there. After sorting through them days later, I put the few "wedding planner" cards off to the side. At that time, I did not think I would need one, nor was I in the market for one. As our big day, May 18th, 2019, approached, I started to realize all the details that needed to go into the day to make it run seamlessly and perfectly: all the different vendors, decorations, locations, timing. Frankly, I didn't want to have to worry about them on the day I was to marry my best friend. I also wanted my family and friends to be able to enjoy the day WITH ME.
I had two appointments scheduled the day my (now) husband and I decided to "shop" for coordinators. Lisa was our first. Needless to say, we did not even need the second appointment because we instantly clicked with Lisa. She took the entire appointment to get to know us, our family & friends, our vision, and our wants and needs.
We booked her as our "day of" coordinator but she did so much more. All of our contracts for different vendors were sent to her, we had numerous in person and phone meetings, she put an OCD-soothing timeline together, double/triple checked vendor times & locations, and the list goes on. She even came to our wedding shower to meet all the "key people" (parents, bridal party, our "Executive Ring Bearer", etc.).
She made us feel special by posting on social media, "shouting us out", leading up to the big day. After coordinating our rehearsal/rehearsal dinner and accommodating all of our quirky requests, Lisa assured us that we were ready to say "I do!". When the big day arrived, I knew I had my go-to girl for everything.
She started the day early with visits to us girls & the guys. She picked up breakfast for us (with an included stop to Meijer for fruit), kept us on track, and calmed nerves from ANYONE as needed. She set up, transferred, tore down, made our hotel room cute and cozy, & even made sure I took my bc pill (haha)! She has everything you need on hand (or in apron) should a hiccup come up!
To be honest, I'm not even sure if anything did go wrong that day... as she took care of it prior to it coming to my attention. Myself, my husband, our family, friends, and guests were able to enjoy every second of the day and embrace what the day was really about.
Lisa, THANK YOU for your professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, calming yet assertive presence, and so much more. I feel like I made a great friend & look forward to working with you in the future!
❣ xoxo,
The Farleys
(We did it!)
You truly don't understand the amount of work that goes into planning a wedding until you begin the process. Lisa was hired as our planner for day-of services but her services went beyond our expectations. When planning a wedding, there is aways budget to consider and LG Events was extremely affordable. Lisa managed all of our contracts with the vendors, met with us a few times out of the year to run through prioritized to-do lists, provided great suggestions and recommendations anywhere from linen rentals to simple set up ideas. We needed someone who could take our vision and bring it to life. We needed someone who could run-show, make quick decisions and handle the behind the scene things that you wouldn't know about as a guest. We highly recommend using a wedding planner and we highly recommend LG Events.
Lisa was absolutely fantastic! The day of our wedding we realized we forgot to pick up our marriage license! We had to take a 30 minute trip to the county clerk to pick it up that day. Lisa took care of everything else. She picked up our flowers, our dessert, got us lunch and a ton other things, so we focus on our day. She was invaluable on our wedding day. She’s also a very kind and fun person!
Working with Lisa was an absolute dream! I knew from our initial consultation that she was truly committed to making our wedding a perfect reflection of us. Lisa eliminated all of the anticipated stress by connecting us with high quality, reliable vendors that understood our vision (even when I decided to get a videographer 5 days before the wedding!). She created a timeline to help us navigate the big decisions that needed to be made and was respectful of our wedding budget.
Lisa managed all communication with the venue, our vendors, hotel, transportation and bridal party to create a seamless day of timeline. I can't even describe the sense of relief I felt having her present the day of the wedding! I was able to enjoy every second of the day while Lisa made the entire plan come to life. She was prepared for every scenario that could've possibly taken place the day of and came to the rescue anytime my husband and I had a special request.
I wanted a classic, elegant wedding celebration to look back on. What Lisa delivered was beyond my expectations!
I can’t even begin to say how amazing lisa was to work with!! Not only did she make the day of my wedding stress free but the events leading up to the wedding she was amazing as well. Even though I only had lisa as my “Day of coordinator” she went above and beyond before the wedding as well. From giving suggestions and advice to checking in with vendos before the wedding, she was organized and helpful through all of it . I would HIGHLY recommend her to anybody considering a day of planner.
LG Event Design is THE best! Lisa is extremely creative, has incredible taste and her execution is flawless. She was my Day of Wedding Coordinator and made sure everything ran as planned, ensuring all vendors were on time and ready to go! Thank you Lisa!
Lisa at LG Event design is TOP SHELF all the way! Having performed at over 1,400 weddings and countless corporate events I have never worked with anyone as professional as she. Her attention to detail is incredible and very clear that she truly cares about each and every client and the success of their event. Wish I could work with her on every wedding. AMAZING!
Lisa of LG Event Design went above and beyond in all aspects! I cannot recommend her company enough!
I have been a wedding planner for many years; however, when I was faced with planning my own daughter's wedding I knew that I had to hire someone to help me. Thank goodness I was referred to Lisa Gebhardt from LG Event Design. She was me, but so much more organized! She helped make my Daughter's wedding day perfect! I could not have done it without her!
BEST WEDDING PLANNER EVER!!!! That's all I have to say! :)
BEST WEDDING PLANNER EVER! Lisa kept me sane through an over year long process and made the wedding of our dreams a reality. She took care of everything, and when I say everything, I mean down to the smallest details...EVERYTHING. She made my life so easy. Not only did she make this enjoyable because she organize, makes awesome wedding binders and has the ability to keep anyone on track, but she is an amazing person. She was so patient with me when I changed my mind a hundred times and freaked out about spacing for the seating chart. On top of that, she is funny and easy to love. She also has a kick ass DJ/MC connection, along with many other vendor contacts...but seriously we had the best DJ/MC, probably ever. The day of went like clockwork, and if anything did go wrong, Lisa just took care of it without me even knowing. It was a stress free day and I had time to concentrate on the things that really mattered. I would, and have recommended her to all my friends, even the ones that are not engaged yet. HIRE HER!!! IT IS 100% WORTH IT!
There is a reason why the McClary-Fletcher wedding was the event of the 2016 holiday season, the event of the universe, the event that I could never have fathomed even as someone in marketing because there is a space reserved for extremely talented and professional women like Lisa Gebhardt of LG Event Design who deal with brides as their profession. Frankly, I believe she deserves a gold medal. Because words are used that sound like a made-up language, flowers exist that I could never find at a florist even with a map and picture-guide, and things come together on Pinterest, but for the most part, Pinterest is a big fat lie. I would never have known this without having the very best in the metro-Detroit industry as our wedding planner which we weren't sure was a necessary expense - oh, but how she was the Wedding Fairy Godmother. Everyone knew her as 'Lisa Wedding Wonder'.
My indisputably talented wedding planner made every part of wedding planning process a dream. She knows the ins for majority of vendors within the Metro Detroit area. The love for her by the biggest and best in the industry even got as extras and discounts for going through her.
I said 'New Year's Eve', she said, 'make it art deco/Jazz Age. Think Gatsby'. I said 'nothing less than fabulous', and she said 'brand it with style'. No matter what wedding or event you are having, you'd be wise to use Lisa Gebhardt of LG Event Design to plan it because this wedding was everything even Disney could never help me dream of, and I could not adore her more for making things happen during a tough 2016 year as she has. Personal, professional, goes above and beyond - she actually was the MVP of my bridal party.
Even if you can't afford wedding planner services, contract her for day-of. I cannot stress enough how much it takes the worry and weight off of brides and their family to have a day-of coordinator. Everything was flawless and executed perfectly. She checked-in. She CLEANED my train with our venue vendor representative before we greeted our guests after photographs. Her recommendations for everything were spot on and kept us well within budget.
You want a Cinderella wedding? LG Event Design will give you your wedding Fairy Godmother - Lisa.
