My first contact with Lisa, simply an email enquiry was on the 6th May 2008.17 months, 1 week, 1 day and 4 hours of daily contact later we, our friends and our family had the best, most magical, perfect day and night of our lives - our wedding , 14th November 2009. This was all truly thanks to the amazing Lisa.Not only were we in Johannesburg, wedding in Cape Town but to work with me takes a very special kind of person. I want it done and right and right now to my pedantic to-do-list perfectionist style. To be honest no-one has ever met my exacting standards. My girls immediately commiserated with Lisa as they put it mildly, this wasn’t going to be easy for her.Lisa was however always a step ahead of me and with every step she was spot on, she somehow knew exactly what and how I wanted it, like a sister would and on top of that made it the best version thereof. Not only was she amazing in her talent but also in her own person - so was the talent she surrounded us with, Jade the hair and make-up artist, Jan Hendrik the photographer, Okasie the florist…The comfort their personalities and talents provided allowed this usually anxiety filled panic stricken over thinker to be a bride that was able to have a nap on the morning of her wedding, who casually sauntered down the aisle smiling all the way with the only thing to do was enjoy. Lisa’s original job description was simply co-ordinate in Cape Town what I couldn’t from Johannesburg and make the budget work. Lisa’s current description, you can’t make it job related as it was all love and passion, our wonder women, maker of magic, contact of contacts, and a dear friend.Lisa says her wedding co-ordination is a luxury service, not a necessity. Crap. Every bride needs a Lisa.
Dear Lisa, We can't thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into organizing our wedding. All our guests commented on how flawless - and fun - our wedding was. It never would have happened without your efforts. From your early assistance (working with our budget), to the final weeks, to the day of, everything you touched was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Even planning things long distance seemed less daunting! We loved the overall "look and feel" of the wedding, the music, flowers, lighting, everything you recommended. We feel so lucky to have found you and so grateful to have worked with you! Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting your special touch on our special day. Jeanne & Brian, NYC
Dear Lisa, I can’t believe our wedding has come and gone, at last! To say that it was a pleasure to plan it with you is an understatement and I am already going through Lisa withdrawal….I’m not sure if you have ever planned 2 weddings with one bride or if I am the only one? Well, I have no doubt that the second one would not have happened without you and all of your support you gave me. Thank you for everything! You are really exceptional and a great person too. I will miss my fairy godmother. Xx Catarina
