Where do I even start! Larissa was the best thing that ever happened to us. I reached out to her not knowing where to start, only that I did not want to do any wedding planning other than saying yes or no.
From our first phone interview, we knew Larissa was the one! She was so easy to connect with, we had lots of laughs, and had full confidence in her just a few minutes into the phone call. Larissa is a breath of fresh air in a stressful situation, because come on, just thinking about everything you need for a wedding can take any bride out lol.
She was so respectful of our budget and extremely helpful in finding us ways to cut costs, but still have an absolutely beautiful outcome. She was there to comfort in times of panic (which were a few), and flexible with hours as we have twin toddlers and needed later meetings. She took the time to get to know us and what we liked to help cultivate a wedding that spoke true to our personalities, and by the end of it all, she really felt and still feels like family.
If you are lucky enough to snag Larissa, please consider yourself blessed. She’s an amazing human being and even more amazing at what she does. DO NOT THINK TWICE about reaching out she is THE one to go to!
Larissa and her team were amazing and helped ensure the planning of our celebration went smoothly! They made everything a lot easier with coordinating all of the vendors and putting everything together the day of the event!
My now husband and I had such a great experience with Larissa & her team coordinating our wedding from beginning to end. She was professional, kind, patient, accommodating & well prepared for anything. We also have the same name and are both filipino so it definitely made things interesting and funny when our families met her 😂. Even afterwards they still talked about how much they loved her and everything she did. She also took the time the night before the big day to reassure us to take it easy and enjoy it - which helped put us at ease and we were so grateful for. Our decision to work with her was the best one we made for our wedding and would love to work with her and her team again for future events. Larissa, thank you for everything! It was definitely a day we will never forget.
Larissa was a joy to work with! She joined the wedding planning process when I really needed someone to ensure the day ran smoothly. She was organized, punctual, and she communicated in a timely manner! She definitely helped my vision come alive and was there for any questions or situations that came up on the big day! I highly recommend Larissa to anyone planning a wedding and who wants to their day to run smoothly and to have the wedding of their dreams!
If you have the chance to work with Larissa, do it! My husband and I were planning a wedding in 2017 and on a whim met with Larissa. Initially, we were stressed about our short timeline (6 months) and it being a destination wedding. After meeting with her, all of our worries melted away. Not only is she super professional, but she's so warm and kind. We felt like we were working with a friend. She has great attention to detail and was so accommodating to our special requests. One request that stood out: I'm filipino and wanted to include lechon (whole roasted pig) on the menu. She was immediately excited about it and had the chef prepare one. As if that wasn't enough, her mother, also filipino, made traditional sauces to go with it! Our guests loved it. To this day, people still rave about our wedding day. Seriously, look no further than Larissa. You won't regret it!
Larissa was amazing. She handled everything, from food to flowers to timing our ceremony between rain storms. We could not have asked for a better planner. Larissa made our dreams come true.
We met Larissa when we were looking for venues and ultimately chose ours because she worked for them (at the time) She puts you at ease and thinks of every detail. She’s kind and if you’re like me and have anxiety, you want her helping you!
Larissa was amazing from the very start! We had a special request that we were anticipating not to be able to do, but she worked it out for us and made our day absolutely perfect. The day of, she was extremely attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly without a single worry from me. I truly cannot say enough great things about her! Thank you again, Larissa!
Larissa is the absolute best! I did not have a single worry about anything for my wedding day! She was there every step of the way from planning, to timelines and coordinating the day! You won’t find anyone better! She personally cares about the couples she works with and wants their events to go off without even a slight problem, and if there is one she is the type to fix it and you will never even know about it- She’s that good!
My husband and I worked with Larissa back in 2019 for our wedding; even though it feels like a lifetime ago, I can honestly say she left a good impression on us. She was our wedding coordinator and we couldn’t ask for anything more. Larissa is very professional and knowledgeable about everything from how things would be, from day one to the little things we didn’t think of. She is very helpful in guiding us through vendor(s) selection and pricing. We appreciated how quickly she would respond to all our silly questions or concerns and how she always followed up with us even after the wedding. Also, how instantly she would resolve a problem or issue with the blink of an eye (trust me, I had some hiccups on my big day). Besides all this, with the craziness of planning a wedding, we both liked how down-to--earth and personal Larissa was as a person. Frankly, I know I mentioned it earlier but we truly couldn’t ask for anyone else. We give her 5 HUGE stars and we would highly recommend her to anyone since we know she would make your big day as spectacular and amazing as she made ours.
Larissa is a true professional who will help guide you through your entire wedding planning from start to finish! It was a no brainer to work with her as soon as we met. Larissa is not only a knowledgeable resource, but a friend. She helped me through tough decisions, made my job easy, and handed me a Kleenex when emotions got high. If I could do it over again, I’d still pick Larissa! 5 stars, 10/10, would recommend. Thanks, Larissa!! We couldn’t have done it without you!
Larissa single-handedly made our wedding day the most incredible and seamless day. From working with us as we got a little behind schedule (she built that into the schedule—brilliant), getting us back on track, making the experience wonderful for us and the guests, she went above and beyond any expectations I had for a coordinator. (Many people told us “this was the best and most fun wedding we’ve ever attended!”
I had zero stress about planning and executing the day-of details on the wedding day, which was the best wedding gift, since I actually got to be present and enjoy the day. Additionally, her vast experience makes the planning process so quick and easy, the rehearsal a breeze, and the day a dream for the couples. She even helped us figure out how to get an exit photo before everyone left, accommodated my husband’s bourbon request, and handled my husband’s very detailed questions with grace. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Larissa and wish we could get married again just to get to work with her again.
