Lisa Gordon Events

Lisa helped plan my wife and I’s wedding. We are not from the Chicago area and needed help selecting all of the vendors. Lisa was amazing and helped every step of the way. She gave great recommendations for everything from flowers to caterers to venues. I believe that any of the options she provided would have resulted in a great wedding. She was always very prompt to answer any questions or address any concerns that we had. She was always ready and willing to help. Her day of services were crucial. We knew that we didn’t have to worry about anything.
We highly recommend Lisa to help you plan your event. Our perfect day was absolutely perfect in large part thanks to Lisa’s hard work and efforts.

Lisa was our day-​of coordinator for our recent wedding at the Garfield Park conservatory. I can’t recommend her more highly! Lisa is very calming, unpretentious and down to earth, which I really appreciate among all the insanity of the wedding industrial complex. We planned the wedding ourselves but Lisa provided lots of helpful suggestions about vendors, transportation and more. She helped us develop our timeline, ran our rehearsal, coordinated with the other vendors, helped set up before the wedding, kept us on schedule during the event and was there to the very end making sure everything was packed up properly.

My wife and I hired Lisa to be the day of coordinator for our wedding and I can’t emphasize enough how crucial she was toward us having the best experience possible on the day of our wedding. She is super friendly and more than willing to work with whatever kinds of requests or ideas you have as well as answer any questions that come up. She’s cool, calm and professional which is definitely appreciated in an event coordinator.
We didn’t have to think about anything on the day of and Lisa was able to not only keep everything moving smoothly, she threw herself at it and managed everything so well that we didn’t even realize just how smoothly everything went till the next day when my wife and I talked about the whole experience. Everything went perfectly and what more can you ask for?
They say that every wedding has a few things that go wrong, but we didn’t even know about any hiccups with our wedding till at least a week afterward and I credit Lisa’s skill and talent with keeping everything together and moving right along. All of the things that apparently went wrong had to do with the venue and her ability to not only fix the issues as they came up but to work around problems created by our less-​than-​stellar venue manager were downright amazing and she was easily one of the, if not the best people we hired for our wedding.

My wife and I hired Lisa as our day-​of wedding coordinator. From our first meeting months in advance of the wedding to the hectic weeks right before, Lisa was a tremendous asset. She offered helpful tips, vendor recommendations, and advice on everything from our venue set-​up to timelines and transportation logistics. Best of all, Lisa was encouraging and deeply committed to supporting our vision the whole way through. On the day-​of, she and her assistant supervised the 10+ vendors at our backyard reception flawlessly. My wife and I highly recommend Lisa for her knowledge, good judgment, and can-​do attitude. Lisa is a pleasure to work with!

Lisa helped me plan my commitment ceremony. At no time did I feel like she was uncomfortable with it. (like other planners) Quite the opposite!
Lisa was super helpful! I was doing all my planning from 5 hours away and Lisa helped set up everything with the caters, looked at the venue with him, and in general made everything as smooth as possible. She saved me from several stressful «freakouts» and helped me keep a level head.
On the day of the ceremony she really helped make sure everything went according to plan despite all the bumps we had! I would strongly reccommend her to anyone and will probably use her services again if given the opportunity.
The only bad thing was I got so used to talking to her that after the ceremony I missed her for a couple weeks!!!
Thanks Lisa!
