Creative Concepts by Lisa - Hamden, Connecticut

Josh Apfel

We had chosen Lisa to officiate our wedding, and we are so happy we did. Since our initial meeting she was warm, friendly, and very thorough. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and offered additional support leading up to our special day. This support included reviewing multiple ceremonies and even our vows, which she later proofread and printed out for us. She created a diagram for best seating of our family members, so that they could best see us. The rehearsal and day of she helped direct with a wedding veteran's attention to detail. Through out the process she felt like a friend who had the right skills and attitude to execute our wedding ceremony, which she did with perfection!

I can't even put into words how amazing Lisa and the CCBL team are! I hired Lisa for month of coordination when dealing with vendors was becoming overwhelming and Lisa took care of everything from contacting and managing vendors, giving amazing advice, and genuinely caring about me and my fiance's well-being throughout the entire process. Lisa went well beyond a month of coordinator and made our day so much more special by having her and her team there. They made sure everything ran smoothly while also ensuring that we enjoyed our wedding. I'm so happy to call Lisa a friend for life and couldn't recommend her and her team enough for all of your wedding planning needs!

We hired Lisa in the last hour of wedding planning and we could immediately feel the stress melt away. It was such a relief to have her manage final details for us, and even help us with some details that this Type A bride didn’t even think of. She reminded the vendors we hired of our desires/vision the week of the event, and was available to talk through bumps in the road caused by the last-minute guest additions. Her colleague Joanna was especially wonderful, and I don’t know how we would have executed the wedding ceremony without her.

I attached some detail shots from our wedding to get a sense of JUST HOW detail-oriented Lisa is. I asked for a lot, with lots of minor things to be set up and tied like this and placed like that- and she exceeded my high expectations. Her setup was impeccable, and I could not have imagined it better myself.

I am writing this on our way to our honeymoon because I am still smiling over this past weekend working with creative concepts, I could not wait till we came back to write a review. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lisa and her team at creative concepts for our October 12th wedding. From the moment we started working with her she was determined to make every detail come to life. That all came true the day of our wedding. From her team being there every second of the day, making us feel calm, excited, and taken care of. We did not have to think of a single thing but to enjoy our special day. If you are thinking of working with creative concept, DO IT. It was the best decision of my life. It is the reason we had the absolute best night of our entire life that we will forever be grateful for because of Lisa and her team. We could not do it without you Lisa, we will forever remember the best day of our life because of all the hard work, effort, time that was put into our day!! We LOVE LOVE LOVE creative concepts!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lisa and her phenomenal team for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment we started planning, Lisa fully understood our wants and needs, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Lisa and her staff were incredibly hands-on, guiding us through every detail for months leading up to our big day. Her meticulous attention to detail was truly impressive—nothing escaped her notice. She ensured that every element of our wedding was executed flawlessly. Lisa’s expertise, combined with her dedication and passion, made our wedding spectacular from start to finish. We are forever grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable. Thank you, Lisa, for making our wedding dreams come true! With love, Josh & Blake

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Lisa and her team are. I honestly cannot imagine how we would have gotten through the planning process without her. She truly made things feel easy in a very confusing and stressful time. She made our visions and dreams come through. Even through budget concerns, she was able to get us everything we could have ever asked for and more. Lisa is someone who cares deeply for her clients and adapts to each couples needs. She is beyond knowledgeable about the industry, creative, and professional. After our wedding, my wife and I often mentioned how amazing Lisa and Kelly were and how we couldn’t even begin to say how thankful we are. And to further prove how above and beyond they are: we had a food allergy incident with our vendor and while Lisa went to bat dealing with cranky food vendors and sanitizing spaces, her assistant Kelly ran through a down pouring rain storm to grab the Epipen. And they made it all feel okay and safe. I would highly recommend.

I partnered with Lisa for BOTH of my children's B'Mitzvah's in 2022 and 2024. It's impossible for me to express how much our partnership (and it was a true partnership) meant to me and my family. It was the key component of the successes of these events, which can be stressful, but you don't feel that when working with Lisa's team. In addition to her proactive and organized communications, which was so appreciated, her creativity brought these events to life in the eyes of my children and family, made them special, made the guest feel special and created memories that all last a lifetime and beyond. Do not hesitate to work with Lisa on your event. She is a true gem of a person, full of ideas and can make your event dreams come true on any budget.

We remember when we were deciding on a wedding planner, we were impressed by how enthusiastic all of CCBL’s reviewers were. Now we understand why: Lisa is the perfect wedding planner and CCBL was worth every penny. We were planning a complex, multi-cultural/faith wedding on a pretty strict budget and Lisa and her team were the perfect people to help us plan it. Lisa talked us out of our most outlandish ideas (in a kind and gentle way), was incredibly patient with us, and always made us feel like we had someone to reach out to. And then, her team’s execution on the day of was absolutely flawless. The whole team was unbelievably well prepared, rolled with the punches, and made sure our needs were met. Everything went off smoothly, and the credit goes to CCBL. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, and we had the wedding of our dreams. Trust us, you will be happy you went with the CCBL team. And at the end of the day, we literally said to one another, “wow, it’ll be sad not to work with Lisa anymore” and that’s how much we loved working with her. She became a confidant, friend, and a valued part of our wedding day as a human being. Thank you so much, Lisa!
