Wow! Lisa and A Wondrous Affair did a fantastic job with my celebration. After assessing the space I had chosen, Lisa made suggestions that never would have occurred to me, including rental furniture, special lighting, and other unique elements that definitely turned the party into something super-special. Add that to the usual--music, food, etc.--and there was a lot to do. Yet it all felt effortless for me. Lisa also knows budgets and was able to work through some questions I had for the caterer, and keep prices within our budget, because of her broad knowledge as well as her negotiating skills. And the party was perrrrrrfect. What a great time! Also important to note that Lisa is so pleasant and easy to work with. Highest recommendation.
