Let me introduce myself!
My name is Lyzza Lou. I am a 31year old, dog-mom who LIVES on Pinterest. My event planning passion started back when I was a child planning my birthday parties. That stemmed into planning parties, trips, and vacations for every single occasion! Nothing excites me more than writing things down in my planner or making that note in Google Calendar.
I'm single as a Pringle. "How would you be any good at planning my wedding when you haven't had your own?" I'm the most organized, researched, creative, detailed, reliable, and personable woman.
I am constantly on Pinterest/reading blogs or magazines so I am ahead of all the new trends and the ones that are on their way out. My eye for design will help round out your perfect day with a beautiful background. I am aware of timelines and deadlines that need to be met before, during, and after the wedding.
Essentially, I'll be your right-hand gal. This is a time to be focusing on you and your partner, let me handle all the stress.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner than Lyzza! From our very first meeting, she were incredibly communicative, always responsive to our questions and concerns, no matter how big or small. It was such a relief to know we had someone who would keep us updated throughout the entire planning process.
One of the things we appreciated most was how Lyzza kept us on track with deadlines, timelines, and decisions, while also being patient with us as we navigated all the details. She really took the time to understand what we wanted, and it showed in every aspect of our wedding.
On the big day, Lyzza kept everything running smoothly and communicated perfectly with all of our vendors and the wedding party. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment because we knew she was handling all the behind-the-scenes logistics, keeping us informed and in control at all times.

I hired Lou Lou Avenue for my wedding on October 12 in Apple Hill. Although she was very nice during our initial phone calls it would take her several days to respond and usually responded after a follow up reminder. I was told she would handle the coordination with my vendors at the 2 week mark. Many of my vendors told me they had not heard from her until a couple days before and I still had to provide them most of the information. During the rehearsal things were very rushed. I did have a rather large wedding party (8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen) they all felt it was chaotic and unorganized. When I brought this to her attention after the wedding she said she did the best she could with my “lively” wedding party which felt insulting to me. After the rehearsal she spent 10 minutes with me to go over my vision for decorations. I was a little worried about that but she assured me she understood. In my wedding day she only allowed her self 2.5 hours to set everything up. Guest arrival was at 3 and there will always be those people that show up early. She arrived to set up at noon. When my bridal party and I arrived at the venue there were still things not set up. My photo frame that was to be set up for guests to snap a Polaroid picture for the guest book was disassembled and laying against a tree. When I had my sister go ask her about it she frantically told her “I am doing the best I can”. Then after the ceremony I saw the photo frame tucked behind a guest table and had to ask her to go place it by the cameras. Serveral members from the bridal party stated she was frantic and unorganized during the wedding. She forgot to pass out the dried flowers for guests to toss as we walked back up the aisle. At one point she was shouting at the photographer about dinner being late because of pictures and I had to assure her that was ok. When it was time to cut the cake I discovered that our cake topper had not been placed the whole time which was sad because I had a custom one made. Also we had a cute axe as our cutter since we were in the woods and that was also missing. She had to scramble and go find it in front of everyone. After that she disappeared for a bit and I found myself coordinating then next couple events: bouquet and garter toss and first dance. She showed up at the end of the night to let me know my friends was securing the cash and cards which was something I specifically asked her to secure after dinner and she agreed. Luckily I did not let her lack of service or frantic behavior tarnish my magical night. I did not hear from her after the wedding. Not even a congratulations. I emailed her finally after a week and laid out what I was disappointed about and ask for a refund. She responded with a lower amount and an excuse for everything I mentioned.At least I got a minimal amount refunded. Just want to share this review as all the ones I found were 5 star and I was greatly dissatisfied with her services and her professional.
Vendor response 11/18/2024
To all the wonderful couples I have the privilege of working with, I aim to make your wedd...
ing day as magical and unforgettable as possible. Please know that the following response is provided with respect and the intention of offering clarity. While I am deeply committed to delivering exceptional service, it’s important to acknowledge when certain challenges arise.
At the start of our collaboration, this couple chose the "Day-Of Coordination" package, which focuses on executing the final details of the wedding day. They expressed a desire to manage the planning process themselves, including vendor bookings and design decisions. However, as the planning progressed, their needs extended beyond the scope of this package, requiring significantly more communication and assistance than originally agreed upon.
I strive to exceed expectations and did so in this case by taking on tasks that went beyond our agreement, such as setting and bussing tables and even bringing in an assistant at no extra charge.
Regarding the Specific Issues:
The Reviewer States: “Many of my vendors told me they had not heard from her until a couple of days before and I still had to provide them with most of the information.”
Response: I want to clarify that I was in regular contact with all of your vendors throughout the planning process and up until the wedding day. I gathered their arrival and departure times well in advance and responded to any questions they had leading up to the event. I made it a priority to ensure everyone was on the same page.
The Reviewer States: “During the rehearsal, things were very rushed. I had a rather large wedding party (8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen) and they all felt it was chaotic and unorganized. When I brought this to her attention after the wedding, she said she did the best she could with my ‘lively’ wedding party, which felt insulting to me. After the rehearsal, she spent 10 minutes with me to go over my vision for decorations.”
Response: As outlined in my contract, the rehearsal was scheduled for a maximum of one hour, and I adhered to this timeframe as agreed. The time constraints were impacted by several factors, including breaks taken during the rehearsal and ongoing decorating. With a large group, it can sometimes be difficult to keep everyone focused, but I did my best to maintain order while managing all other details of the day with you. I always strive to adapt and ensure the ceremony runs as smoothly as possible, regardless of these challenges.
The Reviewer States: “On my wedding day, she only allowed herself 2.5 hours to set everything up. Guest arrival was at 3, and there will always be those people who show up early. She arrived to set up at noon.”
Response: On your wedding day, I arrived at the agreed-upon time of noon, which allowed for the standard 3-hour setup window before guest arrival at 3 PM. As outlined in the timeline I provided to you and all of your vendors, I had communicated my arrival time in advance to ensure everything was prepared on schedule. I worked diligently to complete the setup as planned, and while early guest arrivals can sometimes add pressure, I remained focused on ensuring everything came together smoothly.
The Reviewer States: “She forgot to pass out the dried flowers for guests to toss as we walked back up the aisle.”
Response: Regarding the dried flower toss, I ensured the flowers were made available by placing two baskets at the end of the aisle for guests to grab as they entered the ceremony space. Additionally, I personally handed them out to ensure everyone had the opportunity to participate. I’m sorry if this wasn’t as visible as expected.
The Reviewer States: “At one point she was shouting at the photographer about dinner being late because of pictures, and I had to assure her that was ok.”
Response: I want to address the concern about my interaction with the photographer. At no point was I shouting. We were working together to ensure the timeline was followed, especially regarding dinner service, which was scheduled for a specific time. Timelines are put in place to keep the day running smoothly, and I did my best to gently guide everyone to stay on schedule.
The Reviewer States: “Several members from the bridal party stated she was frantic and unorganized during the wedding.”
Response: I’ve never felt so disrespected in my role as a coordinator. Throughout the day, my name was not called, but shouted, by members of the bridal party, which was not only inappropriate but also incredibly disruptive. This behavior made it difficult to focus on ensuring everything ran smoothly, and it added unnecessary stress to what should have been a seamless and joyful occasion. Respect and professionalism are essential for ensuring a seamless event, and unfortunately, that was lacking in this situation.
The Reviewer States: “After that, she disappeared for a bit, and I found myself coordinating the next couple of events: bouquet and garter toss and first dance.”
Response: I was present throughout the entirety of your wedding, working closely with the DJ and other vendors to ensure all key moments, including the bouquet toss, garter toss, and first dance, were queued and announced on time. While it may have appeared I wasn’t immediately visible, I was actively coordinating behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. My role involves balancing multiple tasks.
The Reviewer States: “When it was time to cut the cake, I discovered that our cake topper had not been placed the whole time, which was sad because I had a custom one made. Also, we had a cute axe as our cutter since we were in the woods, and that was also missing. She had to scramble and go find it in front of everyone.”
Response: The custom cake topper was placed as requested, and the ax was safely stored under the table, ready for use. However, since the cake cutting didn’t occur as originally scheduled in the timeline, there was a brief moment where I had to retrieve the ax to ensure everything was ready for the adjusted timing. I did my best to adapt to the changes in the flow of the evening.
The Reviewer States: “She showed up at the end of the night to let me know my friend was securing the cash and cards, which was something I specifically asked her to secure after dinner, and she agreed.”
Response: As part of my services, one of my responsibilities is to securely gather and transport gifts and cards to a designated location or person. While I was organizing the gifts at the gift table and preparing them for transport to the golf cart, your bridesmaid approached me with a set of keys. Unfortunately, no explanation was provided regarding the car or its location. The parking lot was situated on the other side of the property, which added complexity to the situation.
For both security and liability reasons, I cannot transport valuables without clear instructions or the presence of a designated individual. Ensuring the safety of your belongings is always my top priority. Given the lack of details and the distance to the parking area, I made the decision to inform you that your trusted friend would be handling the items instead. This is a standard procedure to ensure that everything remains secure and properly managed.
I made sure to personally check that everything was in order before leaving. I also took the time to hug you goodbye and confirm that all your belongings were packed and ready for transport. When you asked about your bouquet, I promptly retrieved it for you and placed it in your stroller, just as you had requested.
The Reviewer States: “I did not hear from her after the wedding. Not even congratulations. I emailed her finally after a week and laid out what I was disappointed about and asked for a refund. She responded with a lower amount and an excuse for everything I mentioned.”
Response: As outlined in my contract, my professional responsibilities are considered complete once the event has concluded. I allow two weeks after the wedding to give my couples time to enjoy their honeymoon or settle in. While I’m not contractually obligated to follow up immediately, I did respond to your email (which was sent 4 days after your wedding day) as soon as I was able, and I addressed your concerns.
In Conclusion:
While I regret that this couple did not have the experience they had hoped for, I stand by the dedication I put into making their wedding day as seamless as possible. I went above and beyond to ensure their day ran smoothly, even taking on additional tasks outside of the original scope of our agreement. My goal has always been—and will continue to be—to provide a stress-free, magical experience for every couple I serve.
That said, I’ve come to recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy balance and ensuring that all my professional relationships are built on mutual respect. I remain fully dedicated to the high standards I’ve set for myself and my business. To all of my future couples, I look forward to working with you to bring your dream wedding to life, with the same dedication, care, and commitment that I bring to every event.

There’s really no words to describe how grateful I am for Lyzza and all the hard work she did to make sure my day ran smoothly. She made sure to fix all the small background hiccups flawlessly without me even knowing there was something wrong. Lyzza is so kind, sweet, organized, and an amazing person to have by your side on your big day. You will not have to worry about anything but looking beautiful and having fun because Lyzza will make sure everything else is what you envisioned. I would 100% recommend her to EVERYONE!

Lyzza was so easy to work with! She is professional but real, and is super sweet and considerate as a wedding planning partner. I hired her as a day-of coordinator for my wedding and wish I had hired her for more longer term planning. I completely trusted her on the day of my wedding and nothing went wrong - she knew exactly how to execute and helped to make our wedding day flawless. I felt a genuine connection with her while we worked together, and she has a real talent for building relationships. When I met with other wedding planners, it felt like purely a business transaction but Lyzza took the time to get to know me and build trust, and for that I am so grateful I chose to work with her. Please consider her for your wedding planning needs!

I don't even know where to begin! I wish I could give Lyzza 10 stars because she certainly earned it! From our first call to the end of wedding day, Lyzza was organized, responsive, and on top of things. I hired her as a month of and day of coordinator and she excelled at both. She was always helpful when I reached out with questions prior to the wedding. She did a great job walking us through the rehearsal dinner. On wedding morning she helped set up and made the whole vision come to life exactly how I pictured it! Everybody in my family, wedding party, and us (the couple) felt so comfortable around Lyzza and she was so easy to communicate with. She brought fun, good vibes, organization, and professionalism all at once. I cannot recommend her enough!!

We talked with Lyzza very early on in our wedding planning process and hired her pretty immediately after our first call. Her energy over the phone was infectious and we knew that our wedding would be in good hands with her.
We had the Day of Coordination package and Lyzza made sure that we were on track leading up to the wedding and also was helpful with vendor recommendations. She was always quick with responses when we had random questions throughout the planning process.
As we reached the month leading to the wedding, we met with Lyzza to confirm details and nail down a timeline. Soon after that call I had a full timeline from Lyzza and she had reached out and confirmed details with all of my vendors. She made the weeks leading up to the wedding much less stressful as I had less of those final details to worry about.
The day of the wedding Lyzza was amazing. She worked quickly with set up and made sure the day went so seamlessly . I was not stressed morning of knowing everything was in great hands. The ceremony and reception site looked beautiful and the day went smoothly. The few bumps we hit (because it’s a wedding and you always well) were pretty much all unavoidable and Lyzza was always prepared to jump into action. My entire family talked about how much they loved her and her work ethic and how her energy made the day feel more calm and fun. If we had to plan another wedding we would hire Lyzza again in a heartbeat. The day wouldn’t have been the same without her energy and thorough planning.

Lyzza is an absolute dream! She was our coordinator for our wedding on December 2nd, and she knocked it out of the park. She’s able to anticipate things before they happen, she perfectly executed my vision without me needing to be there every step of the way, and she noticed details that I overlooked. She effortlessly communicated with all of the other vendors, my husband and I, and my parents. Her and her assistant took so much stress off my family and I, which is priceless on the biggest day of one’s life. She took charge while also respecting my wishes, and got things done whilst also maintaining professionalism. Not to mention Lyzza is simply an amazing person! She brought such a good energy to the wedding day and didn’t slow down until the day was done! My wedding party and family absolutely ADORE her and kept talking about how fun and awesome she is. She is definitely part of the family now. If you want a wedding coordinator who will make your wedding feel like the most important thing (because it is to you!) then Lyzza is your girl!

Truly could not have pulled off my wedding without Lyzza! We decided to do a backyard wedding, and the ceremony in a different location, so there was a ton of logistics to coordinate day of. I won't lie, I was super nervous about everything coming together and have a very hard time not being in control of things. But when she showed up (in a workout outfit, ready to sweat and get to work) we went through everything and she's like "stop looking outside, I've got this" and just completely took over. I had random things in boxes all over the place and she just figured it out and even DJ'd the songs I requested for the ceremony, first dances, etc.
Thank you for all of the help!!

Super thrilled that I hired Lyzza to run my wedding. At first I was planning on doing my own but realized I just could not do it alone. I could not believe how much I missed trying to plan my own. She was very personable and a pleasure to talk to. She made everything easy. She was beyond helpful.
Thank You again.
