Hello, I’m Lisa.

While working through high school and college as an event coordinator for a local catering company, I realized I was passionate about helping couples plan every step of their wedding day. It was only natural to create Elegant Affairs and pursue my devotion to celebrating love by becoming a full-service wedding planner. 

Shortly after launching Elegant Affairs, my husband and I also decided to start a family. Being present for my kids is one of my dearest priorities, so I set aside the business for a few years to raise my son and daughter. During that hiatus, I truly missed working with brides and helping them see their dreams come to life. Now that my kids are older, I returned to the business, ready to take it to the next level. 

Before I knew it, Elegant Affairs became a family business. These days my husband shows up to “show off” his muscles by moving tables and decor around for me any chance he gets, and my kids ask millions of questions about my weddings. My daughter LOVES the flowers and pretty dresses and can’t wait to start helping as my assistant! 

Whether you desire a small intimate ceremony or a grand, over-the-top wedding of the year, I aim to help every couple enjoy their dream experience. Specializing in the details, I am eager to bring my creative skills to the table with unique elements that fit your vision. You have my devotion every step of the wedding planning journey, from “Yes to I do.

I look forward to meeting with you and can’t wait to create your dream experience!

Kind Words

Lisa, no words will ever be enough to tell you how grateful we are for your hard work in planning our wedding! It was truly magical and a dream come true. It was the best day of our lives!

Love,

Kelly & Jordan

 

Above & beyond

Lisa helped us plan a destination wedding in under three months. We all live 2-4 hours away. She easily communicated with us and always had great solutions. All of her recommended vendors were wonderful and a good value. Lisa was a joy to work with on the day of the rehearsal, the wedding day, and during the entire planning process!

Happy Bride

All I can say is that I can’t even imagine what my wedding day would have been like without Lisa. She was wonderful, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing on the wedding day. We hired her as our day-of coordinator, but she did so much more than just the day-of. Lisa brought my wedding visions to life, and I couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out.
