lisa

Lisa has always thrived on math, logistics, organization, and details. Lisa earned undergraduate degrees in economics and Spanish, then pursued a masters in mathematics. From birth to this day, she has always been a planner by nature. After college, she fell into the club promotion and planning business and found it to be a perfect fit, and later, when her brother and his fiancée asked her to manage their wedding plans, she decided to move on to weddings and other events. Her approach to planning is extremely organized and with purpose. Lisa enjoys getting to know the people that she works with well and making each event something extraordinarily special. While above anything she enjoys the charts, spreadsheets, and diagrams that lead up to the great success of an event, the most rewarding aspect of planning for her is finding ways to make each event unique.

On the side, Lisa enjoys singing, backpacking, Broadways, and time with family, and she LOVES to travel and find new adventures. She is readily available at almost any hour, a late-night owl by nature and an early-morning riser by necessity. She absolutely loves what she does and thrives on making her clients happy.
