Lisa asks for a review only when it feels appropriate. These six are quoted exactly from Google, where Lisa Ivler Events holds a five-star rating across 87 reviews as of October 2026.

During the planning we encountered several challenges, but Lisa handled everything with grace and professionalism. It was because of Lisa and her team that I was able to enjoy my daughter’s wedding and not worry that everything would be taken care of.

Fran D. Mother of the bride, September 2026

This is the second time I’ve hired Lisa to help plan a bar mitzvah, and she did a beautiful job. It was a wonderful event, all because of her. Everything was buttoned up and went perfectly. She thinks of every detail and truly advocates for her clients when it comes to negotiating with vendors.

Michelle G. Bar mitzvah, May 2026

She has strong opinions and great judgement, which we found very helpful in making important decisions. She works hard for her clients and it’s reflective in the outcome!

Stephanie S. Mitzvah, November 2025

She helped with everything from venue and vendor selection, catering menu, budget, day-of oversight and general guidance for me given I had not planned an event of this scale before. She was on site for the entire day of and followed up with me after to be sure we closed everything out smoothly.

Vickie Z. Her daughter’s party, December 2025

The whole evening went so smoothly, and I got to enjoy the party without any stress or worry. Lisa connected me with great vendors, listened to what we were looking for, and had creative and unique ideas for us.

Naomi E. Party, May 2026

Lisa not only helped to plan the party but she also coordinated with all the vendors to make sure everything was in sync. Lisa was present on site for the entire duration of the party (as well as before and after), overseeing and making sure all aspects were running smoothly.
