If you’re needing someone to organize an event for you, look no further. Lias is by far one of the most talented events coordinators I’ve ever worked with. She goes above and beyond expectations and delivers experiences that leave people wanting more. Lias managed and coordinated my office’s holiday party this last year and everyone was enormously impressed, to say the very least. She’s also an incredible joy to work with and makes the planning process seamless. I would not hesitate to reach out to her again to help with another event.

Working with Lias was incredibly difficult, left us without a coordinator less than 90 days away from the wedding, and out of $286. I hired Lias in July of 2023 for my May 2024 wedding, that was expected to have less than 50 attendees. We contractually agreed that she would help with decor setup and cleanup, timeline creation and support, as well as a few other miscellaneous tasks. In the beginning, she was great. She responded to her Thumbtack messages promptly and had affordable pricing. Once I hired her, she was responsive through email and consistently attended our every 3 months meetings. In the beginning we were discussing what my partner and I envisioned for our wedding day, as well as what decor we already had for the wedding so we could get a general idea of how we’d like to setup. Over time, Lias started to become unresponsive and cancelled two consecutive meetings last minute. We were supposed to have a meeting at the beginning of February 2024, though she really pushed us to cancel as she didn’t believe we’d have anything to talk about. I agreed, as long as we could discuss the few topics I did actually have through email. One of our main topics was that we hired an officiant and needed to establish a start time so that we could finalize our agreement. In response, Lias asked my partner and I to write out a timeline for the day. We knew that was her job, but my partner and I agreed to write a timeline for the sake of making our lives easier. My partner and I wrote out a timeline and sent the email back to her the same day of the cancelled meeting (mid afternoon). When we asked if our start time we established was reasonable, Lias stopped responding. It took 8 days for her to respond. My partner and I wanted to set up another meeting with her since we didn’t believe we were accomplishing much through email. Lias set up another meeting with us, though also cancelled last minute, less than 15 minutes away from our meeting start time. When we finally came around to having a meeting with her, Lias was abrasive and made my partner and I feel bad about things we wanted to include in our wedding. Notably, when we mentioned we wanted our wedding live-streamed because my best friend’s mom can’t attend due to having cancer, she immediately shot the idea down and told us every reason under the sun why it was a bad idea. While she had a point about audio quality, she showed no kindness about the situation and told us that people would have a bad experience watching our live stream and wouldn’t want to watch. Also in this meeting, we asked about setup and cleanup and she told us that she doesn’t do setup or cleanup, she “just makes sure things happen”. She begrudgingly said that she could help a little with setup since it’s a small wedding, but recommended that we put most of the responsibility into our friend’s hands. After the meeting, my partner and I reviewed the contract and sure enough, setup and cleanup was in fact in the contract. We sent Lias an email with a screenshot of the contract and asked for clarification on what she actually will provide for our wedding. No response for multiple days. A few days after we sent that email, we sent another email laying out our concerns about her services. We mentioned that we were dissatisfied about the unresponsiveness/flakiness, having to create a timeline ourselves and her going back on our contract and no longer doing setup and cleanup. After several days of no response from her, she terminated our contract because she “no longer has the capacity to support our needs for the wedding”. We asked the bare minimum out of her and she still could not do that. As a part of the contract agreement, if she terminates the contract she is responsible for trying to find us a replacement. In her email about terminating the contract she stated she was going to do that. That never happened. It took 6 days for her to get the termination agreement to us so that we can begin the process of the refund. Her 20% retainer fee is non-refundable, which left us out of $286. We understand the fee is non-refundable but were upset because she provided zero valuable services to us and did nothing but stress us out and in the end, left us scrambling less than 90 days before the wedding.

Lias is AMAZING! We had a veryyyy difficult event coordinator for the venue and she managed to connect with her and get everything ready for my big day. She asks great questions, listens well and gave me so much security that my day would be amazing. She’s responsive, punctual and generous. Book her!!

Pricing fluctuates based on what our clients needs, but we're always happy to be flexible and take into consideration the customer's budget. Non-profits receive a 20% discount.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We typically set up a free consultation to fully understand the needs of the customer before moving forward with the partnership. When customers reach out they typically provide a high-level overview, but it's easier for the team to have a more detailed sense of the event in order to give accurate pricing and suggestions.

I, the founder, have more than 8 years of experience planning events at various tech startups and established companies in the Bay Area. I also have a certification in virtual events, luxury wedding events, and general event management.
