Hi! Thank you for taking the time to get to know us more!

I am not your typical "too-serious" planner and seriously enjoy having fun while I’m planning and have made many life-long friends of my past brides. I have a true passion for making others happy, and I can’t wait to hear how I can help you on your journey! Cheers to a happy beginning!

We had the pleasure of working with Danielle for our wedding in Boone, NC and she was absolutely fantastic from the start.
The communication was stellar, I was so amazed at all the small details she made sure we discussed so our day would go so smoothly. And it did!! We were so lucky to have her help get all the little details ready on our wedding day and make sure our exact vision played out and we couldn’t have been happier!! Highly recommend Lisa Pleasant Events, we are SO grateful we had Danielle and her team!!!

Review for Lisa, Wedding Planner Extraordinaire
Lisa was truly outstanding from start to finish. From our first meeting, she went above and beyond our expectations, making the wedding planning process smooth, enjoyable, and even fun! Her attention to detail and calm demeanor put us at ease every step of the way.
On the big day, everything went seamlessly. It was everything we could have ever dreamt of—an absolute fairy tale. Lisa’s team was just as incredible, ensuring every detail was handled with precision and care.
One of the standout moments was when Lisa surprised us by tracking down a rare bottle of our favorite liqueur for the reception. It was such a thoughtful, personal touch that meant so much to us.
If you want a wedding planner who is organized, professional, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect, Lisa is the one. She’s a miracle worker, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!
Vendor response 11/18/2024
Cheers to one of my favorite couples of all time! :)) Nicole and Rick, I cannot reiterate ...

Lisa Pleasant Events was a dream to work with! Specifically Ashley G, she was the absolute best! She made our wedding weekend absolutely stress-free. We opted for a wedding coordinator which was perfect for us. Ashley stepped in a few month before our wedding and helped create timelines, tied together loose ends, and had great suggestions! Highly recommend using Lisa Pleasant Events for your wedding!

If you’re getting married in Charlotte - you should hire Lisa Pleasant Events! I had the opportunity to work with Paula Pinto and even a month after our wedding, she is still what everyone is talking about! She treated my family like her own and made everything seamless and stress less. My mother and father were amazed; Paula would do something important hours before they would ever even think about it. They got to enjoy the big day with no responsibilities other than having fun which was very important to me. Guests saw Paula doing anything and everything she could to make the day perfect, and it was! A huge thanks to Paula for everything she did to make our day amazing - from the ease of working with all of the vendors to having every color stitch needed for the crazy incidents that she resolved - you are the best!

I discovered Lisa through Instagram, and from the moment I reached out, she was nothing short of incredible. Choosing her for my wedding planning was one of the best decisions I made, and I have no regrets. Danielle, one of her colleagues, was outstanding from our very first conversation all the way through to the big day. She clearly knew her craft and executed everything flawlessly. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa Pleasant Events – they make you feel truly cared for every step of the way.

I can not praise Lisa Pleasant Events enough!!! My wedding was above and beyond what I imagined and that is largely due to my incredible planner, Danielle Girard! Danielle was so patient, kind, flexible & trustworthy throughout the entire process. I really had no idea what I was doing, but Danielle ensured I didn't miss a detail and I used many of the amazing vendors that she recommended. Day of went seamlessly! I literally wouldn't have changed a thing. Feeling so, so grateful for Danielle & her assistant and their positive attitudes all weekend. 1000% recommend using Lisa Pleasant Events (specifically Danielle if you can snag her) for your wedding!!!

I was hesitant at first with spending the money on getting a planner but I cannot imagine my wedding day without Danielle, she was worth every single penny!! I cannot recommend Danielle enough. She made the moments leading up to my wedding day so much easier and as seamless as possible. Even the coordinator at my venue said she has so much more peace of mind when she sees the bride has hired Lisa Pleasant and she knows she can be way more hands off because of how much they pay attention to detail! Danielle was on top of every last detail of our big day and the months leading up to it! I've heard so many stories of brides having to sort through so many things on the day of their wedding but I knew I was in such good hands with Danielle and I was able to relax and enjoy my entire day with no worries or trying to figure anything out. She made our special day so effortless and was such a pleasure to work with. Danielle gets sh*t DONE! I cannot imagine my wedding day without her! Highly highly highly recommend Danielle at Lisa Pleasant events!!

If you are getting married, you HAVE to hire Lisa Pleasant Events. From the first introductory call, I knew Lisa and her team were the one for us. She was professional, knowledgeable and warm. After understanding what I was looking for and my personality, she matched me with my planner Alex.
Alex was absolutely incredible as our planner and our coordinator. Ever since the first meeting with Alex a year before our wedding, she totally put our minds at ease and I just knew that we had nothing to worry about. She was organized and laid out our timelines almost immediately, which surprisingly took away almost all my stress. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and it was amazing. We cannot say enough how thankful we were for Alex. Obviously the day of can be a crazy time but she handled it like a pro. She did a feminine product run for one of the bridesmaids, she had to deal with a couple rude guests, had to fix my broken bustle multiple times, packed up everything at the end of the night and just knocked everything out of the park. I'm sure there were a million other things that she handled without me even knowing about it because that's how great she is! :) She was so professional, sweet and amazing. We had multiple guests even comment on how amazing Alex was.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and I would hire them all over again!

We were so confused and didn’t know where to begin wedding planning but we knew it would probably cost so much for a planner. We decided to look into Lisa Pleasant and from our first conversation we knew this was who we wanted to help us. She was so nice and easy to speak to. She assisted with suggestions and had two of her employees assist with our wedding. It was such a relief, they helped with vendor suggestions, made phone calls and gave great suggestions. I truly felt so at ease on the wedding day. They communicated effectively and answered all of my questions and concerns. I love love loved the results and trusted in them every step of the way.

I had such a good experience working with LP Events and my planner, Emily! She is so professional, organized and detail-oriented. Not to mention a wealth of knowledge that can answer any wedding question you can think of. She provided some really great planning tools to help me along the way which made it so easy to stay organized and know which “to-do’s” still needed to be tackled. Emily also made sure the groom and I were fully taken care of the entire wedding day! Even the morning after, all of our belongings and personal items were accounted for. I would work with them 100x over again! Thank you Emily!

Truly can't recommend LPE enough! From our initial inquiry about the different planning options to the execution on our wedding day, everything exceeded our expectations. We didn't know where to begin regarding vendors, and the recommendations from the LPE team helped us narrow down our H&MU team, hotel blocks, and more.
We worked with Paula and she helped us remember and decide on all of the small details that we would never have thought of without her. We had to move our ceremony inside at the last minute due to potential rain, and she had everything under control with the venue and made sure our vision still came to life with the decor. She truly helped make my wedding vision and Pinterest boards a reality! Like many other reviewers have said, if anything went wrong on wedding day, I was not made aware because I trusted Paula 100% and she made quick decisions and took care of any last-minute mishaps. If you're on the fence, I recommend at least reaching out to see if LPE has an option that will work best for you!

Before deciding to look for a wedding planner, I had 514 items on my wedding to-do list. I thought I had everything covered, but my mind kept coming back to: “I don’t want to miss anything on the most special day of my life.” I knew that I had a solid foundation of things I THOUGHT I needed to do, but day-of wedding coordination was something I wanted to find so the stress could be more manageable and I could be certain everything would fall into place.
Our introductory phone call was incredibly comprehensive! The tools and resources that Mackenzie shared with me were instrumental in the planning process. Excel docs, planning sheets with timelines… trust me when I say, these are the thoughtful, comprehensive tools that cannot be found online. So many of these fantastic planning suggestions were ones that were NOT ON my list of 514 things.
It also just helps so much to have planners on-site whose sole responsibility is to make sure everyone is in the right place. We did the majority of our pre-planning with Mackenzie, and on the day of, we also had the support of Danielle (two planners with us). Example (picture #2) of some of the little things that are key to your special day - wedding planners can guard the door to ensure the most incredible wedding moments, like first looks, are not interrupted!
If there were any emergencies on my wedding day, I know nothing about them because everything was perfectly handled behind the scenes. I’m so grateful my husband and I got to focus on just each other. You’ll see in these pictures - the second to last one is my husband thanking the planners and all of the vendors in the room for the most incredible day. Last picture - us with Mackenzie. I wanted to make sure to get one with her as I was crying happy tears about how wonderfully the day went.
So - are wedding planners worth the extra expense, even for the “planning” personality? 1000% yes, and I highly recommend Lisa Pleasant Events.

Hiring Lisa and Ashley was the best decision we could have made in the wedding planning process. If you are reading this and contemplating- just message them, you won't regret it! I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received from this team.
We had a 14 month engagement and Ashley was by my side (full planning) every step of the way. She answered every question I had, had recommendations ready at every step, and truly made the planning process seamless. I was able to completely enjoy our special day and even the whole week of the wedding because Ashley is so proactive and organized. Everyone we interacted with from Lisa's team was so professional, genuine, and talented. Ashley became an extended part of our family and I'm so grateful for the relationship we built! Lisa's team is so flexible and they really treat every wedding as if it is the most important and special event in the world. Seriously, it's worth it. I would hire them a million times over!

Our oldest daughter's wedding was at the Ballantyne Hotel this past October. About a year before the wedding we hired Lisa Pleasant Events to help plan the wedding. We worked with Lisa Pleasant and Alex Dean. Both are very professional, excellent communicators, very responsive, and are wonderful to work with overall.
Their attention to detail is first rate. They made the wedding as stress free as a wedding can be for all involved. Lisa and Alex are well connected and respected in the wedding industry. They provided the wedding couple with an excellent list of vendors for their consideration. And they helped us stay on budget.
The weekend of the wedding Alex and her assistant made sure that every little detail was taken care of so the wedding party and their guests could enjoy the wedding and the reception, and simply have fun. Everyone had a great time!
When our youngest daughter gets married she said Lisa Pleasant Events will be her first choice for a wedding planner. We agree!

When I first inquired about a wedding planner I spoke with Lisa. She assured me she had the perfect woman for the job and she did not disappoint! Mackenzie was so fun to work with. She was professional & stayed on top of literally EVERYTHING. She never missed a beat and she always communicated thoroughly with us. I would choose her over and over again. She brought our dreams to life and put together a beautiful day. I love her and how amazing she is at her job. From the moment we had our first meeting, all the stresses of wedding planning disappeared and we were able to focus on the excitement for the day to come. Thank you again Mackenzie for your hard work and dedication.

Lisa was amazing to work with. She and her team seamlessly executed our event the day of. There was no detail forgotten, she kept track of our payment schedule for all of the vendors, and made our wedding day and planning process stress free!! She was well worth her professional fees and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I knew from our first introductory call two years before our wedding that her attention to detail would make my type-A personality satisfied. I truly just had to show up the day of my wedding and for that I am eternally grateful! We had the best day.

It has been a great pleasure working with Mackenzie from Lisa Pleasant Events. She is truly AMAZING!! My husband and I were out of state and we were planning a wedding in 4 months. However, with Mackenzie’s help, the planning period before the wedding and the wedding day were smooth and fun. Mackenzie took care of everything before the wedding including vendors, contracts ..etc. She was available all the time. She understood our style and what we look for and her suggestions were always helpful and spot on.

Danielle, Emily and Lisa are amazing. My husband and I eloped and planned on having a big sequel wedding back east where we met (also closer to all of our family and friends) the next year. We knew it had to be in July in order to take a week to travel and have my step son with us. Aside from knowing the month and year and general location, planning was sidetracked by the birth of our daughter (although I couldn’t ask for a better distraction). Once past those first 6 weeks where you are in survival mode with a newborn, I realized I only had 3 month to plan the wedding while taking care of the baby or put it off another year. I could not have done it with them! We wanted a venue where we could have more than a day or two with family and they helped us find one. Photography was huge or my list and I felt much more confident picking photographers knowing the team had had experience with them. I felt very confident with all my vendors instead of worrying did I pick one or more that wouldn’t be reliable.
My baby was my priority. Plus I wanted to enjoy time with her and not have every day be about wedding planning. So as the day got closer I worried I just didn’t have time for everything (due to budget we went with partial planning). I knew my venue would be amazing, but I wondered if the day would fall short of what I’d always dreamed of so I tried to keep my expectations low. But they worked to keep us on track of our to do list, kept up timelines and spreadsheets I would not have had time for, and made sure we traveled to NC with everything we needed.
Our wedding day was more than I dreamed of! We were able to enjoy the day, each other, our guests and soak in the food, decor and everything else we’d chosen. It ran so smoothly. I am so glad we decided to make room in our budget for planners and that we chose Lisa Pleasant Events. They were reliable. Responded to questions quickly. They were understanding of the 3 hour time difference during planning and didn’t let on when we probably drove them nuts taking on time on several decisions!
Thank you for everything! I can’t believe it’s over but you all helped to make the day, week and memories better than I every imagined!

Not even sure where to start. MacKenzie was absolutely amazing every step of the way. We were out of state planning a wedding in 5 months and there is no way we couldve came close to pulling off our perfect wedding day without her. She gave us options based on our style and budget every step of the way. She kept our timeline and kept us on track of payments. Was available for calls when we had no idea what we were doing. She made curated list of items we needed to bring. We aren't really sure how we are going to plan the rest of our lives without her! She coordinated with all of our vendors and had the best recommendations since they were all amazing themselves. She even stepped in to fix a broken wedding dress minutes before the ceremony. Can't say thank you enough. She was awesome and professional in every aspect.

We had the pleasure of working with Ashley for our part time planning and day of coordinator. From the beginning, Ashley always went above and beyond. She did everything to prepare for our big day. When Ashley took over the wedding planning, we were overwhelmed with peace and trust that our most crucial aspects of planning were in great hands. Three days before the wedding, Ashley noticed a typo in our contract with a transportation agency and immediately took action and started thinking threw backup plans. We are so thankful and grateful for Ashley!
The day of the wedding went so smoothly and everything was like a well oiled machine. I was able to focus on what truly mattered, my marriage and Ashley made the rest come to life. She even focused on the small details of making sure our flower girls hands and shoes were clean before our first dance.
We are forever grateful for her and recommend Lisa Pleasant for your wedding!!!

There are not enough words to explain why the Lisa is the ABSOLUTE BEST wedding planner you could ever ask for. Her consultation/planning process is more thorough than I thought possible and she asked questions I would have never even thought about to piece together the perfect day for us. You never really think about things like when you would want your first dance during the reception or why it matters to you. She understands how different the experience can be from one type of couple to the next. For us, we are more shy and nervous about having the attention directly on us, so she guided us through every moment for ourselves and for our families. I was the most unorganized and last minute bride possible, and she stayed on top of everything. She is the only reason our day was ready and absolutely perfect. On the day of the wedding, she put together all of the different details and elements flawlessly. It was more beautiful than I dreamt it could be. She was also so kind, supportive, and perfectly professional. I always hear people say they regret not having a planner but I don’t think we would have even made it to that day without Lisa and her team. Thank you, Lisa, for being such a wonderful part of the best day of our lives!!

Hiring a planner was the best decision we made when planning our daughter's wedding! A chance encounter with Mackenzie led us to Lisa Pleasant Events. Mackenzie was amazing! She was so organized throughout the process and helped us make decisions and stay on track. The day of the wedding Mackenzie and Ashley handled every detail and I did not have to worry about a thing! Each part of the day happened on schedule, everyone was right where they were supposed to be, our guests had a terrific time and all of our belongings and decorations ended up back in the boxes and back on the truck. I can't imagine how we would have managed with them. Thank you for making Madeline & Michael's Big Day a huge success!

If you or anyone you know are getting married Lisa Pleasant Events has to be your first phone call! Lisa and Alex were amazing to work with for our daughter's wedding 2/4/2023 in Charlotte NC. Their communication, details, vision, professionalism and advice was invaluable. Lisa and Alex brought our daughters vision to absolute perfection! As parents there was no stress because we knew Lisa and Alex had it all under control.
At first we thought do we really need a planner, we can do this but and the answer is a thousand percent a yes! Even though I am extremely organized I could not have done what Lisa and her team did.
She has connections with florist, photographers, make up artist, venues, caterers ect that takes all the guess work out! It truly is one phone call and they will take care of everything!
Such amazing ladies who know the wedding industry inside and out. We have two more daughters and they are our wedding planners! The best in the class Lisa Pleasant Events.

I do not usually do reviews, and am not verbose. But Lisa nailed our wedding. She has extraordinary talent, is organized to the minute, and has tremendous experience with event planning. Her connections with the best vendors are worth their weight in gold. Aside from the logistics, she has seen it all and has the emotional IQ to navigate difficult family dynamics. She was great and we are thankful she was available to coordinate our day.

My husband and I just got married on Saturday in Charlotte, NC and when I tell you everything went flawlessly, I’m 100% serious.
Alex and Mackenzie were the most amazing and calming planners. From our first meeting together, my husband and I knew we made the correct choice in hiring them.
Throughout the entire weekend (and planning process), every event and detail were executed perfectly. Alex and Mackenzie helped us turn our wedding dream into our reality and we could not be more thankful.
We had several bridal party members tell us that our wedding was the most organized and stress free wedding they had ever been in or attended. I have also never been so at ease during a big event like this.
Alex and Mackenzie went above and beyond for us on our special weekend and we’re going to miss talking to them every day.

We interviewed nine potential wedding planners and Lisa and Mackenzie (our primary planner) stood out to us for their approachability, thoroughness, and experience with organizing larger weddings and working at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden.
Mackenzie did an exceptional job of utilizing the wedding venue space to the fullest. She did a great job of designing an event that allowed plenty of opportunity for guests to connect and enjoy the garden. We received a lot of compliments from guests about how much fun they had during our wedding. Mackenzie and Lisa possess excellent judgment about suggesting what would and would not work well for our wedding. The band leader, praised how "elegant" our wedding felt without being over the top.
Because of the excellent organizational work, my wife and I had a very fun and enjoyable wedding weekend! People kept asking us if we were stressed - and truthfully, we were not because we knew that the wedding planning was in good hands
Mackenzie and Lisa were very responsive and did a great job ensuring that our planning was on track during a relative short period of time for planning.
Their cost was in the higher range, but we felt that we received excellent value with savings they found with vendors. We appreciated that they charged a flat rate rather than a percentage of total wedding cost, creating good financial alignment. We could not be more happy with their work! We are happy to provide a strong, positive reference!

My wife and I couldn’t have met a better person and wedding planner than Lisa Pleasant. We initially contacted Lisa in December 2017 with our intention was to get married in 2019 or perhaps 2020. A number of crazy events happened that were out of our control, which caused delays in the wedding date. But, we were finally able to have our wedding in April 2022! In those 4+ years, Lisa was always there to provide her expertise and guidance on everything from save the date invitations, to recommendations on hotels for our loved ones, tasting menus, wedding dress suppliers, event locations, DJ, wedding officiant, transportation, band, flowers, wedding cake and desserts…and every other wedding related logistic possible! She was always available for our questions, even if we had to speak later in the evening due to work schedules, etc. During the wedding planning process, Lisa became a friend to us and we are extremely grateful we met her. In the end, we had an amazingly beautiful and PERFECT wedding event and we literally couldn’t ask for it to be better for everyone involved. We are extremely fortunate to have had an exceptional wedding planner, but we are also very blessed to have made a friend. Its really hard to put into words the sincere gratitude we have for everything that she has done for us on our wedding journey, but please know that we couldn’t make a higher recommendation than Lisa Pleasant for your wedding planning needs.

Absolutely tremendous in every conceivable way. Lisa and her team combine experience, diligence, wisdom and grace in everything they do. As the Father of the Bride for the first time, I am forever grateful that Lisa was guiding the process. Yes, I was clueless. I would give my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a "go to" resource for wedding planning. What's more, you will quickly learn that on top of her expertise, Lisa builds relationships. Big time. I am fortunate to count Lisa as a friend.

My husband and I got married in June in Boone, and hiring Lisa and her team was one of the best decisions we made in the process!
The family property we got married on was a blank canvas, perfect for our dream wedding, but had no electricity, water, bathrooms, etc., so we needed a wedding planner who was not intimidated by all the logistics of this outdoor wedding. Enter Lisa! She was organized, had excellent communication, was responsive, and 1000% executed my precise vision.
Additionally, Lisa had great recommendations for vendors. All of the vendors we worked with had previously been vetted by Lisa and her team, and they did not disappoint (the food and the photographers especially!). Her recommendations were hugely helpful since I live in Charlotte and all my family lives in Maryland, so we needed a trusted source to guide us in the right direction.
I could go on and on about how wonderful Lisa is. If you are considering hiring Lisa, I could not sing her praises higher, and you will not be disappointed!

I am going to try my best not to cry a thousand HAPPY tears while writing this… I knew Lisa was meant to plan our wedding when I read on her website that she “has always thrived on math, logistics, organization, and details.” As a bride and groom that had no idea what we were doing, Lisa took the guesswork out of every single step and decision. I trusted her 100%, which was different yet liberating for my Type-A personality. We could not have asked for anything more from such an incredible planner and person. You will fall in love with Lisa (and her team) just like we did. Don’t look any further! And yes, I’m crying… We love you, Lisa!

ONE OF MY FAV's
If you're looking for a Planner for your wedding, Lisa is going to be a great choice. So book her and you will be glad you did.
I am a Professional DJ and have had the pleasure of working with her on several weddings. She is always on her game and has the calmest attitude and inviting smile, even in the moment of chaos.
Just recently we worked together at a venue and the ceremony was an outdoor ceremony. There was the threat of rain, and the threat became real. I was already set up so she found help for me to get my equipment moved out of the rain. The bride wanted to wait it out to have that beautiful outdoor ceremony. That being said, I went and grabbed my tent from my vehicle to put it up. The rain stopped and my tent wasn't needed.
Unfortunately, when I packed up for the evening, I forgot that I had my tent set aside in case I needed it. So I left without packing it. 16 days later I am looking for my tent and realize I left it at the venue. I called the venue and got a voicemail. I sent Lisa a text and hoped that maybe she had it. She did not, BUT.... She emailed her contact at the venue and they had it. Lisa did not have to do that for me, yet she did and did it minutes after my text to her.
I work with a lot of Professional Planners and Day of Coordinators, and many of them I love to work with. Lisa is one, and the fact that she is there to help, half a month later after the event is complete, just goes to show that she cares about what she does. Can't wait to work with you again. THANK YOU!!!!

Lisa Pleasant truly was our life savior. Without her we probably (seriously) would’ve wanted to elope. As an extremely anxious and indecisive person, Lisa just made the entire planning process seamless.
But much more importantly, our wedding day. We had countless obstacles pop up from some other vendors prior to the wedding, but Lisa literally somehow predicted a fall out and planned for the possibility. She is INCREDIBLE. You can text her in a panic at any moment and she’ll be awake somehow and respond reassuringly. We have the most precious memories of our wedding day never once knowing about anything less than ideal that happened because Lisa handles it all. Hire her if you want to sit back and plan your dream wedding with the best in the business.

Lisa and her team made our wedding so much more incredible than we ever could have imagined, and gave us so much comfort throughout the process.
We planned a wedding at a family farm that had never been used for an event before, so we knew we would need a planner to make sure that we didn't leave out any necessary details. Lisa was so helpful with planning our vision of the ceremony and reception, and we even changed our planned ceremony location after she found a better fit on the property. She has amazing relationships with so many incredible vendors as well, so we constantly knew we were getting the best rates and options for everything. She helped keep the event within our planned budget and was always responsive to texts, emails, or phone calls to help calm any planning nerves we had. We had a running joke that whenever planning stress started to creep in, a simple call or text to Lisa would wipe that out completely.
On the wedding weekend, Ashley and Tammy were so, so helpful and responsive to any changes or issues. To us, the event went off without a hitch. However, two months later we are still hearing about problems that Ashley and Tammy took care of without us ever knowing. For example, a huge cold front came through just before the ceremony and brought with it massive wind gusts. We knew that the outdoor reception area experienced some blown-over items in the wind, but just recently found out the extent of rentals that blew over or were broken entirely. We will truly never know the extent of the work that Ashley and Tammy did behind the scenes, but given how smooth everything was from our point of view, that tells us everything!
We cannot recommend Lisa and her team enough!

Of all of the vendors we worked with for our wedding, hiring Lisa Pleasant's team was by far the best decision we made.
The planning process was certainly overwhelming at the beginning b
