Reviews of Bella Luna Event Planning (Event Planner)

Linda Prater

Let me start off by saying this: I originally was not going to hire a coordinator for the big day. I was convinced to do so by my mom and my friends who had already gone through the process (comments came from brides with and without coordinators). I am over the moon that I not only did opt to have one, but that I picked such an amazing company :) they are worth every penny, not just for getting everything ready prior to the big day but for all their help getting through the day itself. I mostly worked with Brandy throughout all of the planning and I couldn't ask for anyone better to have had by my side. I told her my likes/dislikes and she immediately was able to form a picture towards what I hoped for the wedding to be. It was in August & people STILL are talking about it to me, my parents, my husband, and his family. It was a dream come true & I can't thank her enough for every bit of help before and during it all. I've also had different bridesmaids thank me for having a coordinator since they never felt stressed during the wedding, unlike others they had participated in. We were all able to enjoy the reception without any worries as Brandy handled any little issue that would arise. She helped make sure my vintage-like wedding was exactly what I hoped for, took care of all the time coordinating & scheduling of people, recommended amazing vendors, and was amazing to work with, since she felt like an honest friend who always had your back (and tells you when something looks good or bad when you ask for help). Our wedding wouldn't have been half as dreamy and spectacular without her, so I am thankful that she not only understood what I was aiming for, but helped me knock it out of the park.

I hired Lisa from Bella Luna Bridal once we decided to have our wedding at a private residence since I knew that would involve a lot more work and coordination. I wasn't ready to take all of that on by myself and she really helped with weeding through vendors and keeping track of the timeline and all the details and contracts. We planned my wedding in about 6 months and she was very on top of things and made sure everything was taken care of when it needed to be. She was also very helpful in vendor meetings by making sure we were being thorough and asking all the questions that I didn't know to ask. Weddings can get so complicated and if you've never planned one there can be a huge learning curve. Having that extra support while I had so many other things going on was such a huge help and just knowing that someone else was there to keep up with things too relieved a lot of stress. I think what I was most impressed with was her and her assistant's performance on the day of. I didn't have to worry about one thing and since we were creating a venue out of a backyard there was a ton of setting up and coordinating that needed to happen and they worked really hard all day and night to make sure everything we picked out came together just right. All I had to worry about was getting married and being with family and friends, they did an excellent job handling all the vendors and logistics the whole time. It turned out to be a beautiful event and everyone had so much fun. I would highly recommend Lisa with Bella Luna Bridal & Occasions, she'll definitely make sure that everything is perfect and she's both competent and fun to work with!

Lisa and Brandy are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! They made my entire wedding planning process so easy and were incredibly responsive, even in the middle of the night (sometimes I'd wake up with 3am with lots of questions...). My now husband and I got married 6 months after we got engaged, and with all of Bella Luna's help that was more than enough time to plan and execute the wedding of my dreams. They were always on my team and advocated on my behalf, be it with vendors or cranky family members. They're amazing and I'm so glad I had the two of them and their advice all along the way!!!

Will Dawkins

Lisa and Brandy did a great job at our wedding and were able to adjust to last minute changes with great professionalism. It is their experience that makes it worth while. I would recommend them to others!

Alyssa Carlton

Brandy and Lisa were amazing! I don't know how we would have ever had everything done for the wedding without them! It was so nice being able to enjoy the wedding instead of being stressed about where things go and how to plan the whole day! I would recommend them to anyone planning their big day!

Caitlin Bailey

Lisa and Erin were the best to work with! They were always one step ahead of us and worked with us to make our big day go off without a hitch. They were incredibly responsive to emails and understood exactly what we wanted. The day would not have been the same without them! Between asking questions we didn’t even know were a thing, making a kickass timeline that was thorough and distributed to each vendor, and helping us manage a trying venue. This team is the BEST!! I’m one of 5 and we can’t wait to use them again!

Jeff Morris

Lisa was a tremendous help in getting our wedding together. She was extremely committed and stayed on top of all of our vendors. Where Lisa really shined though, was on the actual day of the wedding. She and her assistants took care of everything for us, all while staying calm and level-headed. And it may sound crazy, but I swear she has the ability to be in four places at once. Every time we needed her, no matter where we were, she was right there! My bride and I were able to enjoy our day without having to worry about anything. Simply put, Lisa is amazing! Thanks to her, our wedding day couldn’t have gone better!

Katherine C

Lisa and Brandy are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and great at what they do! They know how to find and work with the best vendors for your budget and they are extremely detailed oriented. I let them know my overall vision for the wedding and they made it a reality. They answer questions very promptly, coordinate with vendors efficiently, and reminded me of payments so I always had my finances in order for the wedding. No detail was too small for them to keep track of and they seemed to genuinely enjoy doing it. I would have forgotten so many things and been very stressed without their help. I still felt very involved with the wedding but not overwhelmed with the planning. I really enjoyed planning my wedding with Brandy and Lisa and would highly recommend working with them!

Jonathan Meyer

Planning a wedding can be stressful. So many moving parts, so many decisions, and so many outside opinions all fighting for space in your brain. But from the moment Alana and I sat down with Bella Luna, all the pieces started to fit together. They made everything easier, leaving no stone unturned, and just put us at ease. Great personalities, efficient communicators, and just patient, lovely people. Having them behind the scenes let us loosen up and enjoy the best day of our lives. Highly recommended.

Molly Jones

BL Event Planning made my entire wedding day so incredibly wonderful! Lisa and Erin are awesome to work with and made my year of planning (from states away) so easy and enjoyable. I felt comfortable with them to share any and all my ideas for the big day and they made my ideas come to life in ways that I couldn’t even imagine and would respond to all of my emails in such a timely manner. I recommend them to all my friends who are getting married in Texas because my wedding day wouldn’t have been as magical as it was without them!!

DeLinda Baker

Bella Luna did a great job of helping us to be organized for the wedding and work through the details with our vendors. They knew exactly the right questions to ask. I would highly recommend them.

Sarah Godby

Lisa Krishman is absolutely FANTASTIC and we are extremely thankful to have had her and the team on-site during our wedding day! From the time we started working together 6 weeks out, I knew I was not going to regret working with Bella Luna. Lisa was extremely professional and so much fun to be around. She always made herself available and was a HUGE help in getting final logistics taken care of; allowing me to focus on other items. Overall she helped me to make the best decisions and helped execute in order for our special night to run flawlessly. Thank you Lisa and the Bella Luna Bridal team!

Ana Medrano

We instantly knew the day we met Lisa that she would be our wedding coordinator! Not only is she affable, but genuine. Her attention to detail made us feel like she was treating our wedding as her own – and she did! Not only did she make the planning process stress-free, but our wedding day one we will always carry in my hearts! Many of our guests commented on how organized the wedding was and how more enjoyable it made it for them. From reviewing contracts, design, month of planning and day of coordinating, Lisa is hands down extremely professional. What we enjoyed the most was responsiveness and flexibility. Lisa even went above and beyond to help us address some last minute issues and made sure everything was taken care of to the finest of details. We will forever be thankful to Lisa for her quality work! It truly made a difference! I highly recommend any bride in the greater Houston area looking to hire a wedding coordinator to give Lisa and opportunity. You will not regret it!

Amy Cowden

We would highly recommend Lisa and Erin and their highest level event planning. They were professional and fun to work with and kept us on schedule throughout the planning process. They ensured we had the best vendors. Their day-of services were wonderful; we enjoyed every minute of our stress-free dream wedding.

Krystal Fleming

Lisa and brandy were an amazing team. They were very responsive and on top of everything they did! My wedding was the most amazing event become of them! I love them and would always recommend them!!!!!!

Cory Nemesi

I am not sure any words can do Lisa and Brandy justice for how amazing they are!! My mom found them online and just had a good feeling about them. We met Lisa for coffee, and we loved her. My mom pulled out her checkbook before we could even finish talking! They have been such a huge help! I cannot tell you how many emails they have answered of mine just asking silly detail questions like what color frame they think would be best for the seating chart. They can take your vision and execute it flawlessly (and better than what you could have come up with on your own). For example, they took some of my ideas and made a style board for me. It was exactly what I asked for, yet they made it one cohesive vision and way better than what I had in my head. They were worth every penny!! But even better, they were very reasonable priced! Lisa and Brandy will become not only your wedding planners, but your friends so that you feel completely comfortable during the whole planning process. Going to different vendor meetings (that of course they scheduled for you so you didn’t have to do anything other than tell them what dates work for you) was so much fun with them. It was great getting recommendations for vendors from them (we used all of their recommendations and all were incredible). And even nicer was not having to contact all the vendors right before the wedding – Lisa and Brandy handled it all! They pay attention to the small details and truly care about giving you the best day possible. For instance, I mentioned that I wanted a cookies n cream cake, but the cake vendor I was using didn’t have that flavor. One week before my wedding, they noticed that the cake vendor posted that as a new flavor on their Instagram page. They immediately emailed me and asked if I wanted to switch my flavor. Talk about incredible people watching out for you! They were so helpful on the day of the wedding as well and everything went off without a hitch! The timeline they create is so helpful to send out to parents, bridal party, etc. If you need a wedding planner who is truly there for you, don’t think twice about hiring Bella Luna!

Debbie Zissman

Being in the event industry, I could not have been more pleased with my decision to use an event planner for the day of my daughter’s wedding. This was a tough decision because I work with so many event planners and did not want to hurt the feelings of any of these planners. Lisa did such amazing job down to every little detail. I have never seen such a thorough timeline. She was so on the ball and made sure that my daughter was happy at every moment and that I was as well. She managed all the vendors beautifully and kept everything running on time. I highly recommend Lisa for any special event. It made my job that day of just being “mom” one of the happiest days of my life!

Tiffany Papavasiliou

Dear Bella Luna (Lisa & Brandy), Thank you both immensely for all of your hard work, time, dedication, patience, creativity and loyalty while planning our wedding. I can whole heartedly say that our wedding was a dream come true. Every detail was flawless. We have received many messages that our wedding was beautiful, perfect, amazing, etc. and I truly believe it! The details of the day really captured our love. Everything was stunning! Early on I knew Bella Luna was the service I wanted to go with because of their genuine nature. They made me feel like my wedding was the only wedding they had, even though they had countless others. The fast response time was very appreciated as it really put my mind at ease, no matter what time of day or night! Being a corporate event planner it was easy for me to disconnect as I gave my trust to Lisa and Brandy and knew they had my best interest at heart each step of the way. The full service planning I received was priceless. Juggling a busy work schedule and personal life the wedding planning process was seamless from appointments to reminders. They were always willing to hear me out and give their true opinion. I am so pleased with how our wedding turned out that I wish I could do it all over again! Thank you both again and I am so happy to have had you both on this journey with me! I will miss all of our emails! Love, Tiffany & Thanos Papavasiliou

John Chambers

We cannot say enough about how amazing Lisa and Bella Luna are. If you would like your entire wedding planning process to be neatly organized, smooth as butter, and - dare I say it - really fun, Bella Luna is there for you. I literally had a single week that was stressful, and that was almost 100% the result of my unresponsive guests (be prepared for those ones! haha). My husband and I knew we'd found something special during our very first meeting with Lisa, and she simply proved that time and time again throughout the 11-month planning process. Not only was our special day more beautiful than we had even hoped, Lisa was a true gem of a human being who helped us to breathe, laugh, and even cry (happy tears!) all along the way. She was full of informed insight, honest about cost vs. value, and made some perfect recommendations to really put everything over the top. To give you some perspective, Lisa was pregnant and had a baby 2.5-months before our wedding, and not a singe item was dropped or even delayed. She didn't miss a beat, and we've already discussed hiring her to plan our 10-year anniversary! haha - Hope you're ready in May 2029, Lisa! ;)

Meredith Bury

I originally felt guilty that I needed help to plan my wedding. I had dreamed about this day for years, and I love details and planning. However, when reality set in (planning a wedding during grad school as I commuted between Houston and Washington state), I realized that I REALLY needed help! From the moment my mom and I met Lisa, I knew she was the perfect fit. Lisa is incredibly personal, organized and detail oriented, punctual with communication, and willing to go above and beyond to make everything run beautifully and smoothly - in the months leading up to the wedding and on the big day! Lisa was exactly what I needed as I planned my wedding from out of state! Every time I came in town from Washington, Lisa was willing to meet with me and work through details. Lisa's expertise for organizational timelines and checklists, recommendations, vision, design, and execution were flawless. From beginning to end, Lisa made me feel special and cared for, and I will forever be grateful for her and Erin at Bella Luna! Thank you!!

Victoria Guerrero

I am so happy my sister recommended Lisa. Lisa had coordinated her wedding and it was beautiful so I knew I was in good hands, but now, I can say unequivocally she is awesome! My husband and I decided to get married three months after our engagement, and Lisa guided us the whole way. While we both worked during the day she talked with the vendors on our behalf, then communicated back to us clearly what we needed to know and any decisions we needed to make. I cannot say enough how much weight this took off our shoulders, having someone with the experience to deal with the vendors was worth it alone. But she did more, laying out a detailed checklist to help us stay on track while also serving as a friend when things seemed to be overwhelming. The big day went perfectly! I enjoyed the whole day and night, and it is funny because the whole wedding it just seemed too easy, heck enjoyable. But I know better, it wasn’t because we have this hidden knack for putting together a wedding, it was all thanks to Lisa.

Ashton Staggs

Bella Luna Bridal & Occasions was absolutely AMAZING!! We met Lisa at a bridal show and we were completely blown away by her. My now husband and I had her for the "day of". Which is really the month of. Lisa would email me leading up to the month before just to check in and get any information that she needed. She responds to emails & text very quickly! If at anytime I was stressed she would reassure me and take any work off of my shoulders. When we would meet face to face to go over things she always greeted me with a smile and a hug. She really made it feel more like I was working with a friend not a stranger. Lisa went over every single detail of the wedding and every single detail of the vendor contracts with me to make sure nothing was missed. She contacted all vendors and organized them arriving the day of. She also solved any problem that came up. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of because she took care of it all. When Lisa arrived the day of the wedding, she was all smiles and ready to get to work with her clipboard & extremely detailed timeline. Anything I forgot about she remembered. Lisa made sure that absolutely everything ran smoothly. After the ceremony and family pictures she made sure that my husband and I had the alone time that we needed.Throughout the night Lisa made sure that we had anything that we needed. I found out later that she did the same for some of our family so they could enjoy the night. Before the night was over she made sure that our personal items (clothes from that morning, etc), to go plates and some cake where in the vehicle. We didn't have to worry about getting any of it together, she handled it all! I could go on and on about everything that Lisa did but that would be an EXTREMELY long list! Lisa was a life saver and everything that I needed/wanted in a wedding coordinator. I had the absolute perfect wedding. Thank you Lisa for everything! You are absolutely amazing!

From the first phone conversation I had with Lisa, I knew that I could not go wrong with hiring Bella Luna and they’d make sure the wedding day would be stress-free. Lisa and Brandy are so nice, patient and fun to work with. They sent helpful reminders and communicated with my vendors so that I wouldn’t have to worry about it the week of the wedding. I completely trusted Lisa, Brandy and their assistant to take control of coordinating the entire day, making executive decisions and adjustments as needed. Everything was ready for us when we arrived at the church. They made sure that the floral and décor for the reception were set up to standards. All we had to do was show up which made it possible for us to enjoy our day and to have plenty of fun throughout the evening. Bella Luna were always on top of things. For example, when I arrived to the reception, the room lighting was not set to how we discussed with the venue and Lisa was already working on it with the floor manager before I asked her. Lisa and Brandy truly understood my vision and made it happen. I would highly recommend Bella Luna to anyone I know.

Stephanie Scovell

Lisa and Brandy were AMAZING!!! We decided to do the Full Service and Bella Luna made the entire process amazingly easy, stress-free, and fun! They understood what we were looking for, brought our vision together perfectly, and we're always there to answer any question we had. We were able to enjoy our big day knowing that everything was in good hands. Looking back on our big day, I don't think things could have gone better!

Sarah Eisenbraun

Loved working with Bella Luna- Lisa and Erin were phenomenal. They kept us to our timeline, made sure we were fully taken care of throughout the day, and managed the unexpected surprises so that we never were informed of them. It was a complete blast and I wish we had more opportunities to work with them!

Chelsea Charron

Going into the homestretch of wedding planning was a breeze thanks to Lisa and Bella Luna! After working for months on careful planning, documents, pictures, research, contracts, and design, I was a bit nervous to hand over the reigns to someone else. But from our first meeting, Lisa made me feel so confident in her ability to cross all the Ts and dot all the Is, and I knew my vision was in good hands! Her expertise is undeniable, but what I love most about Lisa is how positive and personable she is! Everyone in my wedding party, all my vendors, and of course my groom and I all loved getting to work with her. Because of Bella Luna, I was able to have my dream wedding and enjoy it too :) Thank you, Lisa!

April Serrato

Lisa was amazing the day of my wedding. She made sure everything went according to plan and was always there when I needed anything. Without her, my wedding wouldn't have gone as amazing as it did. Anyone would be lucky to have her by her side the day of their wedding :)

Kehau Martin

So basically, Bella Luna Bridal is the best wedding planning service in the Houston area. I'm not kidding. They come in and have meetings with you, find out about you and your fiancé, create a budget with you, research what you want within your budget, make calls and meetings with vendors, all while making sure that you are getting what yo want and feel as stress-free as possible while dealing with your wedding. They can plan your wedding out from beginning to the wedding day or just coordinate the big day itself. I have never worked with a wedding planner before but I can say with honesty that everything for my wedding went extremely well. From my stand point, Lisa and Brandy (the ones running the show at Bella Luna) make your wedding and your taste their priority. There are no dumb questions with them either, so if you are ever unsure about something you can always ask them and they wont make you feel stupid. My favorite thing about them is that they are going to be honest with you about pricings, vendors, wedding traditions, and let you know: "its your wedding, do what you want to do." For example, when I was talking about getting a DJ with Lisa, she told me straight up how they will try to up charge you and sell you on things that you don't need. I loved her honesty and that she was looking out for me. My wedding day was amazing and was like the exact vision that I saw in my head. They made that happen fore me. Their patience is amazing and they genuinely care about this day as if it was their own. They will not let you down! They are incredible and like I said, the best in Houston. I really cannot say anything bad about them. The are the reason the best day of my life happened.

Meredith Reckles

Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She met with me multiple times before my wedding and was extremely detail-oriented to make sure she knew everything that was supposed to happen and all the vendors that were supposed to arrive at pre-determined times. She made sure that the wedding set up with all the different vendors was happening accordingly, and she let me enjoy getting ready with my bridesmaids. She made a very detailed timeline of our wedding day and on the day of the wedding, she arrived in the morning and was with us throughout the entire day and evening making sure everything ran smoothly. She and her assistant did a fabulous job! The entire wedding day, ceremony, and reception were all smooth sailing thanks to them! She was easy to get in contact with and responded promptly to phone calls and emails! I would definitely recommend her to any bride who wants to have an amazing and enjoyable wedding day :)

Katherine Brown

Hiring Bella Luna was the best decision that I made in the wedding planning process. We hired them for month-of coordinating, and their knowledge of the reception venue (Hughes Manor) was so valuable to the process. Lisa and Brandy (and new to the team, Kalynn) worked diligently to ensure my timeline was created, communicated, and coordinated timely with all vendors. They were always so patient with all of my questions and replied promptly to answer them all. The team is thoughtful and works to make you feel like you are their top client. They did not leave any detail untouched so that everything would be just the way I wanted it. I was truly able to relax on my wedding day and enjoy it because I knew that they had everything under control. Through the reception, the team continued to work hard to keep everything going perfectly. I am so grateful for all they did to ensure it was a success! They were a delight to work with. I would recommend Bella Luna Bridal and Occasions to anyone.

Adair Galanski

Bella Luna Bridal was hands down the best money we spent on our entire wedding. I have been to plenty of friends weddings where we spend the entire day of the wedding setting things up at the church and venue, running around like crazy people at the last second, and feeling like we can't even enjoy the wedding or are so exhausted at the beginning of it because we had been working on it all day. What I wanted on my wedding day was someone who would take care of everything, all the behind the scenes work, and help me and my girls to feel relaxed and actually enjoy such a special day. I met with Bella Luna Bridal 6 weeks before my wedding and gave them all the vendors contracts, information, and even answered a super detailed questionnaire that I absolutely loved because they had questions on things that I hadn't even thought of. Our planner was the main person everyone contacted from that point on which made it smooth for communication between me and all the vendors and event details. My parents were thrilled that we had hired Bella Luna Bridal because even they said that they were able to enjoy, relax, socialize, and not worry about having to do all the parental duties of cleaning up afterwards and coordinating everything that might fall through the cracks. If there is one thing I would recommend to any bride in the Houston area, it would be to hire Bella Luna Bridal. Save yourself the tears, stress, anxiety, and potential melt down that you will probably have. It's worth everything!

jenna robichaux

Lisa and Brandy were absolutely amazing! They were so helpful with finding the perfect vendors for us, and they were always on top of everything. The day of our wedding we did not have to worry about a thing, they took care of everything and made sure it all ran smoothly. It was the most stress free experience and worth every penny we spent.

Michelle Allen

Where do I even begin?!? All the positive things you read about this Team is 100% true! Lisa" & "Brandy" became household names to us this past year while planning our wedding, and I would have been completely lost without them! I found Bella Luna here on The Knot, and clicking that "message vendor" button was the best decision I could have made. I opted for the full service planning and would not have gone any other way. They made the entire process so easy, but more importantly, enjoyable. They were there with answers to ALL of my questions anywhere from what vendors to use, to how to address an invite, to which table numbers looked better. They were always very quick to respond to any questions I had, and kept me on track with monthly "to do's"...HUGE when you are planning a wedding! I love organization, so their planning style was a perfect match. They were always on top of it and didn't miss a beat. Not only are the two of them are a great team that works so well together, but it's obvious that they absolutely love what they do! They brought my ideas and vision to life and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out :) I would definitely recommend them for any Bride that is looking to enjoy the whole process of wedding planning, stress free, and having a knowledgable, professional, fun duo to do it with! We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work!

Jenn Witte

Bella Luna Bridal and Occasions was the key to my wedding being a success. My mother and I hired them at the beginning of my 9 month planning period for full service planning. From the moment I met Lisa, I knew we would be in good hands. She was organized, patient, a great listener, thoughtful, detailed oriented, and whole lot of fun (this is just the tip of the iceberg). Lisa surrounds herself with a topnotch team, Brandy and Kalynn, are beyond fantastic as well. They are all knowledgeable about the wedding and wedding planning industry, have a great network of FANTASTIC vendors (but were never pushy about me using their recommendations), and a have superb eye for all things beautiful. They truly made my vision come together better than I could ever imagine. I was planning my wedding from across the country, which can be a daunting and stressful task. However, Lisa and her team were always there to take calls, answer questions, and return e-mails in a timely manner. They kept me on track with monthly timelines and reminder along the way. On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything except being a beautiful, blushing bride because I knew that the Bella Luna team would have everything under control down to the smallest details. I was able to relax and absorb my wedding day stress free. I can confidently say it was perfect and I would do it again, but only if Bella Luna is helping!!! Thank you so much, Lisa, Brandy, and Kalynn!!

Patricia Rodriguez

"Lisa Krishman was outstanding in her work with us on our daughters wedding. She took the stress and confusion out of our hands and allowed us to enjoy the wedding and not worry about any details. Lisa worked well with our vendors, handled the contracts, had a time line for the wedding that went off without a hitch due to her diligence and great planning. Without a doubt, we would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!! She is top notch in her field!"

Tiffani Charlie

As the mother of a bride I was so overwhelmed with planning a wedding for my daughter. It didn’t help my anxiety when our first venue flooded during Hurricane Harvey and we had to start all over again ... It was then that my daughter and I found Lisa and Brandy .. They handled everything from the detailed timeline of the wedding day to keeping in constant contact with all of our vendors .They took all of our stress and worry away ... I was able to relax and actually enjoy the planning process and day of my daughter’s wedding .. I highly recommend them as your wedding planner! Thank you Lisa and Brandy for giving my daughter a wedding that was absolutely perfect !

Jessica Green

Lisa and Brandi are the best investment you can make if you want your special day to be perfect. Seriously, I may even credit them with ensuring that we had the most ideal weather (75 degrees with 40% humidity haha) since everything else was handled so impeccably. I was planning my wedding in just over 2 months from California and knew that I wanted to leave any day of issues to the capable hands of a professional so I could enjoy what I had spent day and night planning. There are no more capable hands than the lovely ladies at Bella Luna. From our first meeting, I felt like I was hiring the most badass Matron of Honor in Lisa because she was professional, detail oriented, thorough, asked all of the right questions, etc etc but also felt like a friend. I trusted her right away (well after reading all of her stellar reviews and then sitting with her for 5 minutes knowing they were all true!) I felt like she was someone whose Type A organization would make my day flawless and I was right. She and her team are exactly who you want to go into battle with -- not sure if a wedding is the same as battle but it can be. I had done the heavy lifting in terms of planning -- styling a vision, finding/booking vendors, etc -- but Lisa and Brandi made it all come to life. She finalized details with all of my vendors and created a day of timeline to make sure everything ran on time and smoothly. And it did! I never felt rushed but I also felt like she was making sure we didn't forget any important detail we would regret missing. Bella Luna is like having a wedding concierge to attend to you on the most important day of your life so far...while also making you feel calm and authentically cared for. Yes, they are doing a job but you can tell the difference when someone is doing a job that they love. Lisa and Brandi love making wedding dreams come true and they did that for me. I'm out of space on this review so just hire them and then breathe easy knowing you're in the best hands.

Kathleen Willey

PICK THIS VENDOR! I could not recommend Lisa and her team more! They seriously took care of every detail you could every imagine. And when the wedding came, I didn't have to do anything on the day of, just relax and enjoy the moment! Things got pretty crazy at my wedding and when I woke up the next morning I could not have been more grateful for Lisa and her team - everything I needed was taken care of! And for preparing for the wedding, Lisa responded quickly to all emails/phone calls and was such a joy to work with! She's so nice and made it all so much more fun. If you need a wedding planner this is your girl!! She was SO organized and had the perfect calming presence you need on such a crazy day. Pick Bella Luna, you won't be sorry!!

Carolina Martinez de Botello

Mike and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Bella Luna Bridal & Occasions. I knew Lisa would be my wedding planner after reading her very FIRST email! I chose the full service planning because I am NOT a planner at all so I had the pleasure of working with her for a year! The description for full service planning states-stress NOT included… That is 100% accurate! Lisa and Brandy’s service and expertise made the wedding planning process stress free and fun! Lisa provided us with this awesome checklist in the very beginning and on top of that, Brandy would send me a reminder every month of what needed to be done. They responded quick to my emails, and always had great suggestions and feedback to any of my questions. I loved their honesty about anything and everything! On our wedding day both Lisa and Brandy were everywhere making sure everything was perfect! My reception flowers had baby’s breath and Lisa knew 100% that I did NOT ask for baby’s breath! Lisa and Brandy fixed my flowers immediately! These girls do NOT play! I told Brandy and Lisa I need to have 5 minutes alone to eat my cake and drink my baileys and coffee- this is necessary. I almost forgot about it, but I came back from the restroom and there was my sweet Brandy waiting for me with cake and coffee! I absolutely love Lisa and Brandy! My wedding was amazing!

Thank you so much Bella Luna Event Planning!! Immediately after getting engaged, I knew that living out of town, I had to have a wedding planner. I met with Lisa and felt immediately at ease. Lisa and Brandy are amazing event planners. Every vendor that they recommended were amazing and great to work with.I loved having Lisa and Brandy at vendor meetings, including looking at different locations for the wedding. They kept me and my now husband on track and were always available when needed.They knew my vision and made it into a reality.Whenever people asked me about wedding planning, I just showed them my personally created vision board.Living out of town and having a busy career, I loved knowing that all of my wedding planning was taken care of and in good hands. I also had the rsvp package where they followed up with everyone on the guest list to make sure we knew who was coming and not coming. This service is a must have. Finally, the day of the wedding was stress free. They took care of everything, and all i had to do was spend time with my mom and bridesmaids. My husband and I were very pleased and have no regrets about our wedding day. I went with full service wedding planning, but for people that do not want full service, I would at least recommend month of services as well.On the day of your wedding, you don't want to have to worry about organizing things with vendors, wedding day timelines, and making sure every person is where they need to be. I will recommend them to anyone in the Houston area! I really could go on and on about how much I loved having them as my wedding planners. Once again thank you Lisa and Brandy for helping me plan my dream wedding!!

My husband and I are extremely grateful to our wonderful Bella Luna planners! I was initially adamant about relying on my excel sheets to plan the wedding, but am so grateful my husband was able to persuade me otherwise. Our wedding would definitely not have been so smooth and painless if it were not for Erin and Lisa, our magnificent wedding planners! Erin and Lisa have countless of phenomenal strengths. They are very organized and professional, as well as trustworthy, warm- hearted, and optimistic! They have provided us such great wedding tips and advice, made sure we were on top and ahead of everything, reviewed our vendor contracts, coordinated with all our vendors, and made sure our wedding day ran smoothly! We could not thank them enough! We highly recommend them to be part of your wedding team!

The Bella Luna team was AMAZING! Brandy specifically made our wedding weekend flow PERFECTLY. From day 1 when meeting with the Bella Luna girls prior to the wedding, they made me feel comfortable and as if I was talking to one of my really organized friends who is helping with the wedding. I loved that! Then when the weekend of the wedding came, She made sure everyone including myself, my groom, all of the wedding party and our families were taken care of and knew what to do so that we could be in the moment and enjoy our day! These girls went above and beyond for us and are GREAT at what they do. We could not have asked for better people to work with and will be forever grateful for their help through the entire process and we could not recommend them enough!

What can I say? I just loved her! We choose the partial package since we had already secured our venue at a winery outside of Houston. Lisa has a bubbly personality & got the job done with a few laughs along the way. The production that goes into getting married really had me stressing & I knew there was no way I had time to handle all the important details involved. I hired her using Thumbtack & never regretted the decision! She was attentive, funny, sweet & tough when I needed it. She was exactly what I was looking for & we were so pleased with the end results. A few of my wedding guests even made a comment about 'how on it' she & her team was. She found our florist & our wedding cake designer which were PERFECT for us - couldn't have asked for better!!! Our ceremony was small (50 people) & the reception had to be moved inside due to weather, but that didn't seem to matter. Everyone had a great time & was glad they came! So glad since that was our overall goal -a celebration of our day. I would definitely use her if I had to do it all again :)

I could not imagine how my wedding day would have gone without Bella Luna! Lisa and her team did an amazing job making my wedding day flawless!! Lisa did a great job preparing--she made working with all the vendors easy. She knows what to do to make a wedding day run like a well oiled machine! Not only is she fantastic at her job, but the moment I met her I felt like I'd known her for years! She is fun, bubbly, calm, respectful, and a joy to work with! I remember on my wedding day starting to stress about the bottom of my dress getting dirty due to the rain that passed through minutes before. Lisa looked at me and said, "if the bottom of your dress isn't dirty by the end of the night then you didn't enjoy your wedding." After she said that I felt relieved, and at the end of the night the bottom of my dress was in fact dirty because I had a BLAST! Thank you Bella Luna for making our day perfection!!

Lisa and Brandy are the best! We hired them to be our "month of" coordinators for our wedding and they knocked it out of the park. From the first meeting to the final toast they really took the stress away and made our big day perfect! I couldn't recommend Bella Luna (Lisa & Brandy) any higher. There should be 10 stars! - Richard T.

Working with Lisa and Brandy at BellaLuna was an incredible experience! Their services were a gift from my now husband after our engagement, and WOW what a gift it was. I lived in Florida, my fiance was living in North Carolina, and the wedding was taking place in Houston. On top of that I was trying to finish my PhD and find a job. Let's just say I had ZERO time to plan a wedding. That is where Lisa and Brandy rose to the occasion. They took my budget, broke it down and told me how much I could spend on each vendor. I asked that they give me one or two trusted vendor suggestions for each area of the wedding within my price range so I didn't have to make too many choices, and they delivered high quality vendors in my price range with almost no thought on my part. It was amazing! It was raining on the day of my wedding, so they seamlessly moved my outdoor ceremony indoors and made it look just as beautiful! My whole wedding was perfect because of their behind the scene work! All I remember was a smooth, easy day not worrying about any details- they took on that burden for me. I feel like I lucked out completely! They delivered high quality work worth well more than they charge. I wanted a beautiful wedding with as little planning on my part as humanly possible and that is what I got. They read my mind, understood my style, and made my dream wedding a reality. You would be remiss to pass them up!

I had the pleasure of working with BellaLuna for my wedding. Lisa and her team were super organized and helpful with my requests. Most importantly they made me feel at ease, especially with my clouded decisions...they just had an answer for everything and prepared me well for my big day. Thank you again!

Having Bella Luna coordinate our big day was the best decision ever! From the start, I could already tell that I needed to have Lisa on our vendor team for our big day. She was so sweet, thorough, and willing to answer all of our questions during our initial conversation! It was like I was talking to a long time friend even though we just met over the phone! :) As our big day approached, we met with Lisa to go over everything and I cannot tell you how much stress was lifted off of our shoulders as soon as we sat down with her. She caught herself up to speed with our vendors, contracts, and she picked up where I had left off seamlessly. Lisa went through my "to do list" with a fine tooth comb and made sure that I didn't forget ANYTHING. When we were uncertain about something, she had option after option ready to solve our problems. Lisa really immersed herself into our wedding by reaching out to all of our vendors and just making sure that everyone was on the same page! On the day of our wedding, I had nothing to worry about and I could truly enjoy our day due to the fact that Lisa had taken care of everything behind the scenes. Her attention to detail and design made our reception setup BEAUTIFUL and we could not have been any more in love with our reception space. She constantly made sure we were okay throughout the party by checking in on us, making sure all of the vendors were where they were supposed to be, executed our wedding seamlessly, and was quick on her feet with everything that was presented to her. For all of our future celebrations where coordinating is needed, Bella Luna will definitely be number one on our list! I truly appreciate how sweet she is, her quick response, attention to detail, organization, flexibility, and how much she truly cares about her clients and their weddings! We love Bella Luna!

Wish I could give 10+ stars! Lisa did such an incredible job, she made this journey such a breeze. I was fortunate to actually ENJOY the wedding planning process thanks to Lisa and her awesome team that helped out. Whether it was recommending the best vendors, making countless phone calls while I was stuck at work, or just the incredible comfort she provided to me, my husband, and my family Lisa is always on top of her game. If you are trying to juggle school, work, or just life in general all while trying to plan the most special day of your life...CALL BELLA LUNA (you're fiancé will thank you)

I came to trust and rely on Lisa and Brandy so much as they helped me and my now-husband plan our wedding in July 2016. From the beginning, Lisa and Brandy were both incredibly responsive, creative, and proactive---I always felt as though they would be able to handle whatever the vendors or circumstances threw at us. They patiently walked me through the process from start to finish and recommended key vendors that made the day perfect. They also worked tirelessly behind the scenes to troubleshoot issues that arose so that I wouldn't have to worry as the big day approached. They executed our vision beautifully, and were an absolute pleasure to work with along the way. You will not be disappointed!

Long comment but the summary is: Lisa was amazing and my wedding would not have been as great without her. I typically don't believe in 5 star reviews but Lisa definitely deserves every single one. I didn't get her involved until about 6-8 weeks before the wedding. I was originally looking for someone just to run the day of the wedding, I thought there wasn't much to do since I had already hired the vendors. How glad I am that I got her involved right away. She was so much help with the late vendor meetings - made sure they happened and made sure that I got what I wanted (for example, the vendor wanted a different table arrangement but Lisa encouraged me to stick to what I wanted and it turned out great!) She handled all the confirmations of the vendors and stayed on top of them. Instead of spending the last week running around like crazy, I got to enjoy my family and friends. Of course, we could not have done the actual day without her. She ran the day! I didn't worry about anything - not the favors, not the vendors, not the pictures, not collecting our stuff at the end. I was able to visit with people, dance and have fun without really a worry. While the florist, caterer etc were important, the night ran because of Lisa and I (and whatever friend/family designated to help) would not have had fun (we would have been too busy taking care of everything) had she not been there.

Words cannot express how much we appreciated Lisa’s hard work and attention to detail she provided before and during our wedding day. She in one word was simply amazing. After a few preparation meetings for the wedding we realized how much Lisa loves what she does. She is attention to detail in pre-wedding preparations, she stayed on top of vendors to make sure our day went well, and is very personable. We hired her about a month in advance and had several loose ends that needed to be tied up, Lisa tied them up and then some!!When we meet we did not feel like it was a business meeting or pressured to make decisions, we felt like we were meeting a friend who we knew was getting the job done for us. On the day of she worked very well under pressure. We had a lot of moving pieces on our wedding day, but we were not rushed, and she took care of everything. We even had family members tells us later that she was great. So, thank you Lisa for all that you did for us. As I previously said, you were amazing and we really appreciate it!!

Lisa and Brandy made my day go perfectly! During planning, they helped with every detail including some I hadn't even thought about. They were always responsive in emails, and I was always in the loop with vendors because of their help. I can't imagine putting on my wedding without their help. The day went flawlessly and I never had to worry that everything and everyone were not where they needed to be. If I had to give any bride advice now that I'm done planning, I would say having a coordinator is so important, and Bella Luna Bridal is the BEST choice!

Christopher Giesing

Lisa Krishman was a perfect coordinator/planner. She helped us fill in all the blanks in our wedding plans that we didn't even know existed. She made our lives significantly easier in the weeks leading up to the wedding and especially on the day itself. My wife and I had a perfect wedding and without Lisa, I know for a fact we wouldn't have been able to say that.
