About This Vendor

Down to Earth and Detailed

We are a team of five who just love life and every chance to make it better for our clients (also known as our friends). We bring over eleven years of experience to the table and come from of all sorts of backgrounds, from mathematics and financial advising to publishing and video production. We service all over the East Coast, but typically find ourselves in Charlotte and Asheville and the surrounding cities of each. We offer full planning, partial planning, or anywhere in between depending on what you need! Our favorite part about planning is that we mostly find ourselves "just hanging out" with our couples, whether at a coffee shop or a wine bar, and having fun together in the planning process, while keeping tight to all of our spreadsheets and the things that have to happen in the background as well. The most common feedback we get from couples is that they never feel stressed about their day, and the most common from vendors is that we are the most organized and detailed planning team they work with, and that they feel that much more confident in a successful event when sending their clients our way. We understand that no two weddings are alike - it is yours and it needs to represent you. This is what makes our job consistently interesting and why we have done this for so long and can still truly say that we are excited and passionate about every one of our couples, their stories, and the celebration of their new beginning. Let's get planning!

Lisa Pleasant Events Reviews

LIFE. SAVER — Best Wedding decision we ever made! I’m not even sure where to begin with this …. Lisa made planning our event such a breeze. I was confident in her ability to showcase my vision from the very first phone call and didn’t event s...
hop around for other planners. We were living on the west coast at the time and planning to get married on the east coast but that time difference did not stop her from scheduling planning calls at any time of the day. Not only did she become my confidant for all things wedding, but she executed our event flawlessly even after rescheduling 3 times (thanks Covid!). A tough decision was made in March of 2020 to move our upcoming April wedding out to July due to Covid and the following day, Lisa had spoken to ALL of our vendors and found a common date when they were available. Unfortunately, Covid had other plans for us. We ended up scaling back and using our Rehearsal Dinner location for a small ceremony and dinner with our closest friends and family. It was perfect! But nope, she didn’t stop there. We still wanted the wedding of our dreams once Covid worked itself out. So what did Lisa do?! She got on the phone with all of our vendors again and secured us a date in July of 2021 for ‘the main event’. It was exactly what my husband and I had been discussing and planning (for almost 3 years at this point) with Lisa and everything went off without a hitch! The only downside to the event is that we no longer get to work with Lisa :( HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

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!!!! DJ Jeff

y. 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!

ith Nina. She had great vendor recommendations and tips and completely answered all of our questions. She was super responsive and professional in all of our communications. I had always envisioned the week of the wedding as being hectic and overwhelming, but was (pleasantly!) surprised when that was not the case - Nina had everything taken care of and managed all vendor communications / logistics so we could just relax and enjoy the time leading up to the wedding. She and Alexia made a great team on the wedding date - made sure we had everything we needed / wanted (and plenty of emergency supplies in case we had forgotten anything!) and ensured that the timeline ran smoothly. I simply cannot emphasize how valuable Nina and Lisa Pleasant Events was in making our wedding a perfect and fun event. Highly recommend to anyone in the CLT area!

it was a such a blessing when I found Lisa. Lucky that she was available on that same day (the only day btw she had available the entire wedding season on such short notice), Lisa said she would personally work with me to plan my wedding, and she offered a discount considering the late booking. Amazing! From the very first phone call, I knew I had to hire Lisa - she was professional, clearly very knowledgeable, and patient to explain all the little details and considerations. We met in person for our first planning session later that week, and after 6 hours at a coffee shop, we had an outline / project plan of the entire wedding, including recommendations of vendors, that Lisa confirmed were available during our meeting. From that moment on, it felt like Lisa was a dear friend and I trusted her implicitly.

d out to Lisa. I think she contacted her on a Sunday, we had a conference call on Wednesday (which convinced us immediately we were speaking with the right person), and had a thorough (*ahem* lengthy) sit-down with her on Sunday. Throughout the process, Lisa steadily held our hand. After figuring out what we wanted, she would bring several options to the table. Never pushy, just gently guiding. "Here's what I think would work, and why." I'm not sure that Lisa requires much sleep. Text or email most times of the day, and you're likely to get a response within minutes. Even if it's just a "Sorry, at another meeting, will get back to you ASAP." Lisa took care of organizing all of the vendors. She accepted deliveries to her house. She even picked up things for us because we couldn't since we don't live in Charlotte. Going into the wedding day, we knew all we needed to worry about was getting married. And that is absolutely priceless. Did everything go perfectly? Doubtful. Did we and our guests think everything went perfectly? Yep. Because Lisa handled everything Olivia Pope style. Ladies, if you're on the fence, trust me, hire Lisa. Gentlemen, if your fiancee is on the fence, tell her Omar said to hire Lisa. My bride had a perfect day, and Lisa will make sure yours does too.

The wedding day could have not been more perfect. Several people have told me it was the best wedding they have ever attended. I attribute this to Lisa. If I could give her 100 stars I would!

I wish there were words that I could use to make all brides choose Lisa. I never planned on using a wedding planner, but I had a destination wedding and the resort recommended we have one. Lisa was on their preferred provider list. I called aro...
und and right away she made me feel at ease and confident if I chose her my wedding planning would be a breeze. It is hard to know what you are truly getting until you dive in and it is a hard choice when you are forking out the cash. She is WORTH EVERY PENNY!! I don't think that I was "bridezilla" but we did have some very last minute change requests. Lisa made it happen! She guided me through the process paying attention to details I would have never thought of if I didn't have her. My goal was to be a guest at my own wedding, and Lisa made that happen. I had a guest ask me after the wedding "so what went wrong" I loved that I could answer..."NOTHING, and if something did I don't know about it." If you are reading reviews and questioning if a wedding planner is worth the cost, I did the same thing. Trust me when I say Lisa Pleasant is worth it if you want to enjoy your wedding planning and wedding day stress free. One of my bridesmaid is considering using her (once they get engaged) because she was that good!

Absolutely Incredible!! Lisa made my daughters dream wedding come true. This was a destination wedding in Asheville, NC and my daughter absolutely picked the best wedding planner on the planet. Bright, cheery with a positive can do attitude. ...
From day we arrived and we met Lisa we were always greeted with her bright smile and a hug. That was just the beginning of our fantastic journey with Lisa. She simply made everything my daughter ever dreamed of come true and then some. If you are looking for the best wedding planner on the planet...stop your search...Lisa is it!!! Lisa was there every minute and made sure each and every task was complete and perfect. I know perfect may be a big step...but I do mean perfect. My daughter simply needed to show up and enjoy every moment of the evening. From the dressing room at 10:00 am to the end of the reception at 11:00 pm Lisa was all over the place making sure everything was ready on time and just as we had agreed. I couldn't have been happier, but more importantly, my daughter couldn't have been happier. By the time we left Asheville, in my mind, Lisa had become a member of our family!! Truly, I can't imagine the entire experience going any better!

My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Lisa Pleasant and Ashley Gregg. Lisa assisted us in planning our big day for over a year. She was extremely reliable and eager to answer questions and meet several times to help plan! She alway...
s was prepared, professional, and excited for us. Ashley was fantastic in being able to meet with us, take our phone calls, and connect with our vendors. On the day of our wedding, Ashley was AMAZING! She was everywhere! She had the entire reception looking beautiful, guests feeling comfortable, and the event running smoothly. Ashley made Sean and I feel special throughout the entire planning process; we truly developed a relationship with Ashley and we know we will be able to continue that relationship! She took care of any issues that arose at the reception with ease and, most importantly, without letting me or my groom know. I would recommend anyone to work with Lisa and Ashley. Fantastic company and even better people!

have the wedding you want. She knows people you can't find who will make your wedding amazing! We loved having her at the helm and highly recommend her to anyone wanting someone else to project manage their wedding.

Lisa did a great job helping us plan our destination wedding in Destin, FL. We live in Cleveland, OH and found her online because she planned a wedding in Destin the year before. We were also the first "children" of either family to get mar...
ried-- so neither of our families/parents had been through the planning process before. She connected us with trusted vendors and collaborated with others we brought on board. We had many calls and emails to make sure all the details were thought out, and that we stayed on budget. I'm sure without her help we would have spent WAY more. You don't think of how quickly all the details add up! Especially as our families were going through this for the first time. It was important to us to make the wedding personal and we skipped many of the "traditional" wedding details. She was always there to ask questions and make sure she understood what we wanted. On the wedding day, she had everything planned out and met with all the vendors as they arrived at the house (we were married on the beach and had the dinner/reception at a big house next to the beach). I actually didn't see her that much or have to answer any questions on the wedding day, so I'd say that was a success! She took care of the details and knew what I wanted so I could enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I'd recommend her to any bride who likes structure and wants a little more guidance on planning her wedding. There are so many moving pieces to coordinate and Lisa did so flawlessly! Thanks again!

e hoped for and more. I can't count the amount of compliments we have received about how smooth the night went. There was never a time where guests didn't know where to be or what was going on, and never any awkward time between anything. Lisa, her team and all of the vendors she recommended and help us find did an absolutely amazing job! It can be stressful as a bride trying to navigate the wedding industry but Lisa made it look so easy. She recommended wonderful vendors, negotiated great prices for us and made the process so simple for us. To be able to say we want a cigar roller, then have a few options and quotes emailed to you to compare and just be able to say we want option B and get a contract to sign and its done is priceless when you're planning a wedding and worrying about so many things at once. I'm a person that isn't great with details, and Lisa would let me send her pictures of what I liked and wanted things to look like and she would make it happen! I couldn't have made a better decision when it came to our wedding planner, she truly got to know me and Bryan and what we liked and helped us make our wedding day perfect for us! We worked together planning for a little over a year and she became not only our wedding planner but a cherished friend. If you are on the fence or debating getting a wedding planner my advice would be to email or call Lisa and just have a conversation, it'll be the best decision you make, and worth every penny!! I couldn't imagine what our wedding would have looked like without Lisa and her team, but I know that it wouldn't have been half of what our dream wedding turned out to be!
