This review is long overdue and extremely well deserved! If you're in the market for a wedding planning & coordination service, Bravo Weddings & Events is it. I can't emphasize enough how amazing Lisa Bravo and her crew are - from ideas to conception, phone and in person meetings, industry knowledge/service and suggestions, professionalism and follow through, she has the "it" factor! There are so many things on a bride's plate & working with Lisa I never felt overwhelmed or that anything was unreachable, rather anything was achievable. She is a huge factor and kudos to one of the most special & perfect days in our life to date, and we can't thank her and her services enough for the hard work of taking our vision to not only the finish line, but next level! read more

Bravo Weddings & Events - Wedding Planning Near Me

This review is for Katy Lohse of Bravo, she deserves a standing ovation and more! My now-husband and I hired Katy wayyy back in March 2020 when we were bright-eyed and optimistic about having our wedding safely in June 2021. We hired Katy to help us with most of the planning and day-of coordination, which included unlimited communication with her until our special day. When we decided to postpone our wedding to June 2022, Katy was super accommodating. And nothing changed in terms of fees with Bravo - we got an entire extra year of bothering Katy for the exact same cost we paid in 2020. We had our wedding at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards and Katy was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the venue and everything & everybody that came with it. Whenever my husband and I had any questions we thought were random (questions about shuttles, where to host an after-party, where to have our rehearsal dinner, where to host day-after-wedding festivities, and so many more), Katy always had a well-thought-out answer via email for us within a day or two. Katy attended our tasting with Park Ave Catering and was also there with us for our site visit and rehearsal at our venue. Whenever she was around, my husband and I both felt at ease. When it came to the day of, everything ran smoothly and on-time as far as my husband and I could tell (which is all that matters, am I right?!). Our guests were amazed that our 5:00pm ceremony *actually* started at 5pm. The rest of the night flowed perfectly and I am so pleased that I have happy, WELL-PLANNED memories to look back fondly at on my wedding day. Thank you Katy for everything! read more

Katrina was great to work with for our wedding in Sonoma. We used her for the "Month-of" planner role and our wedding was a huge success. She is local to Sonoma, and her recommendations were helpful for the few vendors we had not selected yet. She also was a big help for the little details (like picking up our cake in the morning). We did much of the planning and vendor selection ourselves, so what was key for us in a wedding planner was timeline development and execution on the day of. One of the most challenging things can be preparing a realistic timeline for the day, and then getting everyone to stick to it. Katrina was very organized and all the vendors (and guests) were where they needed to be on time. Overall we are happy that we chose to work with Bravo Weddings and Events for our wedding and we'd recommend them to others! read more

I had a confusing experience with Bravo Events. My fiancé and I hired Lisa Bravo as our wedding coordinator at the end of 2023, for a wedding in early 2025. Up until we hired her, Lisa was responsive to our emails and answered our questions in a timely manner. Once we signed the contract and paid her deposit, my finance and I had a meeting with Lisa during which we described our goals for the wedding. We let Lisa know that we were trying to get the planning done early because we would be unavailable to plan and book vendors later in the year. Lisa took note of this information and said she would send us a spreadsheet of recommended vendors and a proposed outreach timeline later that week. My fiancé and I both left the meeting feeling good. After not receiving the spreadsheet she promised or hearing from Lisa for a week, I sent an email to inquire about the status of the spreadsheet. I sent a second email a week later when I didn't hear back from her. I tried calling Lisa but did not receive an answer to my voicemail. Four weeks after our initial meeting I sent Lisa another email explaining that I would appreciate more consistent communication from her, or any indication at all that she was receiving my messages. My fiancé tried leaving her a voicemail, but Lisa did not respond to him either. Finally, we contacted the owner of our venue and asked if it was normal to not hear from a wedding planner for six weeks. The owner let us know that it was unusual and said she would contact Lisa to see what was going on. The next day, Lisa refunded our deposit without an explanation for why we did not hear from her for six weeks. We never received a response to any of our messages, and we never figured out what happened. We ended up hiring another planner, who we love, but we wish we didn't have this experience with Lisa. It did not feel good to put down a multi-thousand dollar deposit and then get ghosted for almost two months. read more

Sending lots of love back to our wedding planner Katy Lohse who was so incredibly organized and detail oriented and a joy to work with! She communicated seamlessly with all our vendors so that by the week before the wedding we knew she had everything under control - with her in charge we could relax and enjoy the build up to the big day. And the wedding was flawless. Her suggestions were spot on- she assembled "the dream team" to choreograph my daughter's wedding at Ru's Farm- and helped move items during the reception to where we needed them, assisting an elderly relative, taking care of the bride and groom and keeping us on schedule. Our thanks to Bravo weddings! They are stellar every step of the way! read more

We hired Lisa as our day-of coordinator for our wedding in Petaluma and could not have been more thrilled with the decision. In addition to all the help she gave us leading up to the day, she provided much needed stability, guidance and sanity through our two (!) COVID postponements. All the plans she delivered were of top quality. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant were simply rock-stars. Everything went so smoothly, and she helped dealt with any and all issues, and did a great job of balancing doing things behind the scenes vs. asking our opinions. We got endless compliments from our other vendors, our guests, and most of all, helped ensure the day went exactly as planned. Communication was great throughout, she has great suggestions, and best of all, Lisa is just a great person to work with. We felt lucky to have her on our team! read more

Hiring Bravo Weddings & Events was one of the best decisions my husband and I made on the day of our wedding! Katrina Reed was our wedding coordinator and we couldn't have been happier with her! From the first meeting to the final details the day of the wedding, Katrina was always so fun and easy to work with. We had a few "DIY" projects we had made for our tables to be placed at the reception site and Katrina set those up exactly how we asked. Upon arriving to our suite at the end of the wedding night, we were surprised in our room with rose petals on the bed along with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries on the nightstand that had all been done by Katrina. She is amazing!! Do yourself a favor, take some of the stress off yourself the day of your wedding and hire Bravo Weddings & Events! You won't be sorry. read more

We were referred to Lisa by our venue, Olympia's Valley Esate, for day-of coordination. She was affordable, personable, and easy to work with, from the very beginning when we first met her about a year before our big day. Throughout the year, she kept us updated with tasks to do, gave us countless budget tips and vendor recommendations, and allowed us to bounce any question off of her. She responds immediately and is very detail oriented. Her google sheets and docs (budget and actuals, timeline, vendor info, floorplans/layouts, etc.) are very concise and easy to use and follow. We opened them nearly every day to keep us in check with updating/adding in vendor comparisons, payments, etc. We had budget breakdowns and timelines from other married couples but those were nowhere as nicely organized as hers.  Lisa has a wealth of experience, especially in the Sonoma/Napa county and the majority of our vendors were referred by her or she's worked with them in the past. Coincidentally, the one other time that our band (Downbeat LA) travelled to OVE, just happened to also be a past wedding that Lisa coordinated for, so she dug up the old layout to see how we could fit in all our guests. She followed up with each of the vendors for an in-person POC and arrival time, and worked her magic behind the scenes so we wouldn't need to stress out weeks prior. For the day of, while we were getting ready with the rest of the wedding party, her and her assistant set up all the decor that we dropped off the day before and arranged it according to photos and ideas that we sent her. They also stayed back to help pack and load up all our decor into 3 cars so we could spend time saying goodbye to our guests. The thing that stood out most was her unparalleled experience with working at OVE, so much that it was obvious that OVE trusted her. She coordinated with all the vendors to let them know where and when to set up, and offered suggestions of where things should be and how it should be laid out. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and we're glad that we chose someone who knows and understands the business inside out. read more

Katy was our wedding planner, and she was a lifesaver; I cannot imagine my wedding without her help. First, she was great with helping us understand costs, including what was reasonable, what to spend more on, and where to save money. Also, she was more than happy to take the lead with items we didn't have opinions on, such as place settings, linens, how many heaters were required, etc. Additionally, she jumped in on the day of where we fell short; for example, we never got around to a cocktail playlist or getting towels for the band, and she just handled it. Our carter noted that Katy was also wonderful. She commented about Katy "Wow, I am so impressed with you!" in relation to her timeline and diagram. High praise! Lastly, Katy was just fun to be around. During your wedding and leading up to it, you spend a fair amount of special (and at times vulnerable) moments with your wedding planner; you want someone you like, and Katy is great to be around. If you are looking for a professional, efficient, on-top-of-all-of-the-madness, diligent, cost-conscious, and kind event planner, go with Katy. Five stars all the way! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Lisa this past November. We hired her to do the month of/day of coordinating for our wedding in Sonoma. From our first phone conversation I knew she was the right fit for us! She understood exactly what I was looking for and I felt like we clicked over the phone. She came to our tasting in August and it was lovely to have her there. It gave us a chance to go over all the details and I felt so confident turning everything over to her from there. She took care of all our rentals as well as contracts with other vendors. She created the perfect timeline for the wedding and we were thrilled with how well everything flowed. She also ran our rehearsal the evening before the wedding like a champ and was able to wrangle all of our family with ease - no easy task! Lisa was incredibly responsive and very organized. More than that, she just has a quality that makes you feel calm and well taken care of. Our wedding went off without a hitch and I would recommend Lisa to anyone - start to finish she was a true professional and we're so glad she was a part of our special day. read more

Lisa is absolutely incredible!! I could not recommend her any more highly! Honestly, when I first started planning our wedding, I didn't think we needed a wedding coordinator, but little did I know, Lisa was a huge asset to me and our wedding would not have been the same without her! Lisa is truly an expert in her field. She helped us in countless ways from recommending vendors, looking over contracts/estimates, doing venue walk throughs, helping us create a layout, floor plan and arrangements, and was available for questions or concerns throughout our planning process. When it came to the day of our wedding, Lisa and her colleague Katrina coordinated everything perfectly. Lisa's energy is calm yet confident. She knew exactly what we needed and kept us on track but did so in a way that kept me relaxed and enjoying the moment. I can honestly say that our wedding was even more than I could have hoped for and exceeded our dreams and a huge part of that was thanks to Lisa and all of her help and knowledge. All of our family and friends loved her as well and commented on how amazing she is. She is truly the best in the business! Thank you Lisa, we appreciate you more than we can express! read more

Planning a wedding? Don't go at it alone. Give Katrina a call! She was an absolute dream to work with! She was on top of it from day 1, all while planning her very own wedding! She was always available and such a pro at what she does. She handled all the vendor details that I'm still unaware of, made sure everyone was where they needed to be, and worked closely with our event manager to ensure everything went smoothly. My (now) husband doesn't so well with email, so he just called her when he had a question. She was always there to answer or called him back right away if he missed her. Katrina was definitely one of the reasons I was able to kick back and just show up. We highly, highly recommend her. read more

I worked with Katrina for my wedding and she was amazing! We live in Chicago so we were planning from afar and it was really easy with her because she was so easy to communicate with and helpful with recommendations all kinds of things (like where to get my nails done in town even!). One the day-of we had a few things we wanted to change in the moment and she just made it happen like magic. Everything ran on time, it looked so effortless even though I'm sure it wasn't. We loved working with Katrina, highly recommend! read more

If you are planning a wedding, Lisa Bravo is your girl! My MOH sister gifted Lisa's Day-Of Coordinating services to me and my now husband, and I have to say, the wedding would not have been nearly as successful without her. The venue we got married at, although beautiful and esthetically perfect for us, has staff members that weren't very easy to communicate with and left me feeling very uneasy and worried about how the day would turn out. Our wedding also fell on one of the only rainy days in October and we needed to come up with a back up plan. Lisa got immediately on "Plan B" seating and even drove from the east bay to Marin to see the layout before she began. She also tracked down the specific staff members at our venue to get the answers we needed. On the day of the wedding, we knew our reception would need to be inside due to the rain but we were really hoping to have the ceremony outside. Lisa and her assistant, Katrina, ran back and forth between me, my husband, the caterer, the venue staff, and all other venders to try to work it out and miraculously, at the last possible minute the sky cleared up and all the chairs were moved outside for the ceremony! Lisa and Katrina also arranged all of our centerpieces, escort cards and other decor. Katrina even smoothed out the train on my dress right before I walked down the aisle. Because of Bravo Events, I didn't have a single worry on my wedding day. Please consider Lisa Bravo for your next event; you will not regret it! read more

Bravo Weddings & Events - Wedding Planning Near Me

We booked Katy on a recommendation from our photographer for the Wedding Coordination package, and it was the best money we spent on our wedding! Katy gave us countless vendor recommendations, which saved us so much time on researching vendors, and they all turned out to be amazing! Our biggest mistake was not using a shuttle company that she had recommended -- the one we originally booked ended up completely falling through (3 days before our wedding!), and Katy swiftly came to the rescue, helping us book another shuttle transportation company on that same day she discovered the issue. She seriously saved the day! We also had a challenging venue coordinator to work with, and she took over all of the communication with them to ensure every single detail would be taken care of (which also took a lot of the stress off of us). During the entire year leading up to our wedding, Katy was was super quick to respond to countless emails, giving us advice on every little detail, and even reminding us to think about things that hadn't occurred to us. She also created the entire timeline for the day, which was the most intimidating part of the planning process for us, and everything went so smoothly on our wedding day! We are so grateful for Katy's constant support throughout the entire process -- she is a true professional and just an overall wonderful person, and we cannot recommend her enough! read more

We worked with Katy Lohse to plan our September wedding this year and we can't say enough amazing things about our experience working with her. She is incredibly detail-oriented, organized and thorough in terms of planning ahead and accounting for any and all considerations, obstacles, etc. She is always professional, helpful and makes herself available if you need to discuss any lingering question or urgent need. She was so helpful in providing vendor recommendations for each of our wedding items. Once all vendors were confirmed, she managed all communication, to-do lists and seamlessly coordinated the entire weekend so we could enjoy every minute of it. If anything went awry, we had no idea! The entire wedding day was perfect and she took care of us every step of the way. Thank you, Katy! read more

We were fortunate to work with Katy at Bravo Weddings and Events for our June 2022 wedding, and could not recommend her more highly. We booked "The Essential" wedding coordination package, and true to its name Katy was essential to organizing the wedding of our dreams. Throughout the planning process, Katy was responsive, reliable, patient, calm, and detail-oriented. She provided helpful advice as I peppered her with questions to make sure that all our guests would be taken care of and we'd get the most out of our budget. She helped us understand how much of our budget to allocate to each component, kept us on track throughout 15 months of planning, recommended incredible vendors, developed our wedding day timeline, created our floorplan and walked us through it during a site visit, and ran our rehearsal. She communicated clearly with us and with our vendors so that everyone was on the same page. On our wedding day-for which she served as coordinator for 10 hours with assistance from Katrina--she ensured that everything ran smoothly and on time. She even set up all our personal items and packed them up for us to take home at the end of the night. Because we were in her great hands, we were able to relax, be present, and fully enjoy our wedding day. I don't think we could have pulled off this event without Katy's expertise. It was such a magical weekend full of happy memories, and I'm so grateful to her for helping create that for us and our loved ones. read more

Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with from Day 1 when we connected with her till the end of our wedding day! She was kind, thoughtful and easy to work with and was exceptional in responding to emails or texts (usually within a few hours even). She was very honest and helpful with vendor recommendations and guided us in the right direction with so many small and large decisions. My wife and I both couldn't stop raving about how great she was to work with and how well she coordinated everything at our wedding. Set up time to talk to her on the phone and you'll see yourself - she's intelligent, kind and thoughtful, and that's what makes a good coordinator. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Katy and Bravo Events! We initially booked Bravo Events because they were a recommended vendor from our venue. We are so happy that we decided to use their coordination services because everything was phenomenal. Katy has coordinated so many weddings at our venue, and her expertise and knowledge was extremely helpful throughout this planning process. From day one, I knew we were in good hands! Katy was so friendly, and my partner and I loved the energy she always brought. She was always available to chat, and was even willing to drive to meet us in the city (which we appreciated so much). She answered all/any questions we had, and if she didn't know the answer off the top of her head, she would always reach out to others and follow-up once she had the answer. Our wedding day went so smoothly and that wouldn't have happened without Katy and her team. They are seasoned professionals and handled all of the little things that you don't even think of. We didn't have to worry about a single thing and were able to really enjoy our special day. We cannot thank Katy and her team enough for all of their support and help. read more

We had Lisa Bravo as our wedding planner for our Sonoma wedding. She did an amazing job helping with all the details and logistics leading up to the event. She was so responsive whenever I needed assistance and she helped our wedding be exactly what we wanted it to be. Would definitely recommend! read more

My husband and I recently got married, and it was truly the best day of our lives. We owe a great deal of gratitude to the one and only, Lisa Bravo. I knew instantly when I met Lisa she was the perfect person to be our wedding coordinator. Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with during the entire planning process. She is experienced, organized, professional, and CALM. We were warned by friends and family that no matter how much planning you do, something will inevitably go wrong at your wedding. Well, if anything did go wrong, Lisa handled it with ease. In our eyes, everything was flawless! If the only thing you want to worry about on your wedding day is your guests having too much fun, then hire Lisa. She is a true gem! Thank you, Lisa, for everything you did to make our wedding day what we envisioned and much more. read more

I highly recommend Katy as your wedding planner at Bravo Weddings & Events! She and I worked together for over a year. Katy was fun, responsive, and generous with her time. She provided helpful advice and recommendations/introductions to vendors. Everything went smoothly on our big day which is a testament to Katy's capabilities and know-how. We were able to enjoy our lovely wedding and didn't have to worry about how it unfolded. I'm grateful for everything Katy did to help pull off our very special celebration. read more

Katy was always quick to respond via email and super helpful communicating with the venue and other vendors. She helped create our timeline and organized everything the day of really well. One thing I wish I experienced was the energy and excitement other brides felt while working with Katy. I didn't care too much though because she still got the job done well. We had a great time at our wedding and everything went smoothly. However, one thing that was brought to our attention the next day, which confused us and made us so sad to hear was that Katy was rude and gave attitude to our guests. This was obviously extremely disappointing to hear from our closest friends and family. I just hope moving forward Katy will provide a great and professional experience for someone's wedding, and that I was the last bride who had to experience this. read more

If you're looking for a friendly, fun, and organized wedding planner, look no further than Katrina at Bravo Weddings & Events! Our wedding could not have gone as smoothly without Katrina's help. The planning for our intimate wedding (~20 people) occurred from 2020 to 2021, right at the height of COVID, but that did not stop Katrina from helping us find the best vendors in the area. We are not from California, and her assistance made all the difference in picking the officiant, florist, photographer, etc. that was best for us. She was always friendly and conversational, and had John and I's best interests at heart. We were especially appreciative of her flexibility, as our jobs frequently changed our scheduled phone calls, which Katrina was more than happy to accommodate. She is a wonderful person and we feel very fortunate to have worked with her! read more

Hands down, hiring Lisa as our day of wedding coordinator was the best investment we made out of the multitude of wedding investments. I was nervous as all get out until I handed my wedding over to her. My stress instantly melted away. Lisa is friendly, positive, genuine, and great at what she does. I'm a picky person, and it was my wedding so up that a couple of notches. But Lisa listened and produced the perfect wedding so close to what I envisioned that it felt like a dream. The day was absolutely magical, I didn't sweat any of the details - I knew everything was in her capable hands - and I was able to enjoy the day fully. She anticipated needs, directed our guests to help the day run smoothly, and helped my DIY decor look even better than I'd hoped. I am forever grateful and would recommend her wholeheartedly. read more

I am a wedding photographer and have gotten the chance to work with both Lisa and Katrina. They are so kind and approachable, and truly make the wedding day seamless. I always look forward to working weddings with Bravo Weddings and Events! Thanks for making my job easier! read more

Lisa was absolutely perfect! Our special day flowed seamlessly with Lisa's support and guidance. She is an absolute pro and a natural. We initially planned a May 2020 wedding with Lisa and due to covid, it was postponed. Lisa continued to work with us for two years through the pandemic to help us plan our dream day (at no additional cost). She answered all our questions, helped us brainstorm ideas that felt right for us, was responsive, an active listener and a calming presence. On wedding day, we could not have done it without her. So many family and friends approached us after the wedding and shared how impressed they were with Lisa. Lisa's assistant Allison was also wonderful-calm, fun, reliable, and resourceful. We could have not have imagined our day going any better and it really was due to Lisa's careful planning, organization with the timeline, preparation, and collaboration with all the vendors. She has an innate ability to build rapport with anyone. She is detail oriented. She has incredible connections with all wedding vendors/venues in the community. She is passionate about her work and that shines through. She has even inspired me to one day be apart of the wedding planning industry. We can't say enough wonderful things about Lisa. Thank you for everything-you are an absolutely rockstar and we recommended you without hesitation!! You are incredible. You really made our perfect day come true. read more

My husband and I just got married 3 weeks ago in Sonoma, CA. We are from Atlanta and threw together a pretty quick destination wedding. While we were super excited about not getting married in our home state, we were also prepared for the added stress of making all decisions from afar and essentially planning a wedding through email. But luckily for us (and for you reading this who has not picked your planner yet) we found Bravo and were paired with Katrina - the most amazing wedding planner there ever was! Before landing on Bravo/Katrina, we called a LOT of wedding planners. From the get go Katrina was the most responsive, and had the best pricing of anyone we talked to. These were the initial reasons we chose to go with her, but through the entire process we were repeatedly thankful to be working with her. From our first conversation to the last minute of our wedding day she was sweet, personal, and excited for us. She was so organized, and did such a excellent job of communicating with all the vendors, organizing the timelines, and handling all of the small and large details we would of missed or been too stressed to handle. If anything did go wrong, or issues arose during the planning or wedding day, we had no idea because she did such an excellent job of taking care of everything we got to simply show up and enjoy the day! I feel like I should add here - I was one of those brides who originally wasn't going to have a wedding planner. I am a very organized person and thought I could handle it on my own. I probably could have, but would of regretted it so badly as it would of taken away from my ability to enjoy being engaged, and the actual wedding weekend. If you're engaged and trying to decide if you should get a planner, I'll say this one time. GET ONE! Out of all the money we spent on our wedding, my husband and I both agreed Katrina was the best money spent and we would choose her again if we had 3 more weddings. If I could have brought her back to Atlanta with me to have her plan all events in my life I would. Katrina, thank you!! read more

Bravo Weddings & Events - Katrina Reed - Wedding Planner - Wedding Planning Near Me

See all

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Lisa!! She helped us curate the most incredible day of our lives this past Saturday at Olympia's Valley Estate. Everything - absolutely EVERYTHING - was perfection, including the calm I felt going into our big day thanks to Lisa. She seamlessly coordinated all of our vendors, helped us create a timeline fit to the day and mood we wanted to create, and instilled so much confidence. I truly never worried once about anything going wrong. And nothing did go wrong, not a beat was skipped. All our guests raved about how relaxed and well run everything was, which was all due to Lisa. I should also mention throughout the whole process she was so incredibly responsive, always willing to hop on the phone or email me an answer to any question. She's a lovely individual and all our vendors had the same sentiments about working with her. Couldn't recommend Lisa and Bravo Wedding & Events more highly!!! read more

The Mr. and I were delighted to have Katrina Reed as our day-of planner for our 8/26 wedding at The Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa, CA. Every detail we could think of was covered and handled in a truly professional manner. We were carefree, cell phone-free and happier than could ever be on that day knowing Katrina was there for us! read more

Katrina Reed and the Bravo team are professionals!!! Katrina was a joy to work with and went above and beyond leading up to the big day and then REALLY blew it out of the water on my actual wedding day. Mother nature was not on our side on the big day (to say the least) and Katrina and her team went out of their way to roll with the punches and switch things up to still ensure everything went smoothly. I honestly couldn't have done it without them and I'm so grateful. I cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you so much!!! read more

Lisa was absolutely amazing!!! We hired her as our day-of coordinator and she was the reason our wedding day went so smoothly. Leading up to the big day, she was so responsive through email and over the phone, answering any questions that came up (I had a lot!) She and her assistant were so on top of everything during the wedding. She got all the gifts packed in our car, made sure we actually got something to eat, and was amazing at communicating with our other vendors, both before and during the wedding. Having Lisa as our coordinator made our wedding day perfect. Thanks Lisa! read more

My husband and I got married about a month ago and our wedding day was like an absolute dream, thanks to Lisa!! We were referred to her though our venue for day-of coordination but we also wanted her help in vendor selection/recommendations as well. In the months leading up to the wedding, Lisa and I communicated pretty consistently via email and she was always available by phone when I needed her. She offered honest opinions and feedback about vendor choices (of course she only recommended the best!) and we could not have been happier with all of the vendors she sourced for us. During the last few weeks of preparation, Lisa helped me organize my vision and make sure everything came together. I am a very hands-on detail-oriented person (read: control freak) but I was actually able to hand the reins over to Lisa and enjoy my wedding day absolutely stress free! She was able to coordinate all of the vendors, catering staff, and even my opinionated parents, all while leaving me blissfully out of it. If you're looking for someone with a calming presence, and the organization to have your wedding go off without a hitch, look no further than Lisa Bravo! read more

Katy is great! She was super helpful and kind throughout the entire wedding planning process. Katy always went the extra mile. Thanks Katy! read more

I loved working with Lisa for my wedding at Olympia's Valley Estate in August! I cannot recommend Bravo Weddings & Events enough. Lisa was so easy going and helpful throughout the entire year and made the wedding planning process so much easier. She responded quickly to my many emails/questions and always had great recommendations. She really went above and beyond! read more

We got married in June, and we loved working with Lisa. She was absolutely amazing! She was easy to work with and was great with correspondence. As far as I know our wedding went perfectly. We can't thank you enough for making our day so special! read more

Our wedding venue made it mandatory to get a "day-of" coordinator and they gave us a list to choose from. Honestly, I was a little put off about having to get a coordinator but started interviewing anyhow. When we met Lisa, we were put at ease at once. She explained a little about herself, her background and asked us questions about our vision for the wedding. The hubs and I both agreed that she was the one after meeting her. As we got close to the wedding date, she took control of all of the contracts, made a day-of timeline, and even sat it on phone calls with some vendors to go over the final plans. She remembered and asked about EVERY detail that I know we would have forgotten, She had an answer/suggestion/solution to every concern we had. Lisa came and ran the wedding rehearsal which was a huge help. The day of the wedding was great. She was there before the wedding setting up and did not leave until all the frames, posters, leftover cupcakes were packed up, after the wedding was over. The whole thing ran smoothly because of her. What we especially liked about Lisa is that she actually listened and understood what type of wedding we wanted and did not try to push anything on us. Her prices are fair, great accountability and turn around time on email. We would recommend her to anyone! read more

Katrina was the day of coordinator for my daughters wedding a couple of weeks ago. I have to say that she did much more than just the day of. We hired her close to a year from the wedding and she checked in constantly to see if we needed anything - recommendations for vendors, advice on everything from table layout to tipping. She contacted all our vendors ahead of time and made sure everything was in sync. Needless to say the day went perfectly seamless. If anything did go wrong - we didn't hear about it. We love Katrina!! She was so easy and fun to work with and so professional. If you want to have fun on your wedding day and not worry about anything - hire Katrina! read more

Katy was such a joy to work with!! From our first phone call to every email exchange to on-site venue visits, Katy was friendly, efficient, accommodating and extremely well organized. She pulled off a seamless ceremony and helped us throw the best party of our lives! We truly could not have done it without her guidance, flexibility, and impressive attention to detail. A huge thanks going out to Katy and team for taking the reins into their capable hands and letting us fully be present in the day and enjoy every minute of it. Would recommend Bravo Weddings without reservation! read more
