From a demanding job to a vibrant social life—you’re confident and capable in nearly anything you take on. But wedding planning is an entirely different story—and not one you’re willing to write on your own. From having no idea where to start—to worrying you’ll miss something major along the way—the woes and worries of planning a wedding are real. We get it.

We’re here to step in, step up, and shoulder the stress—so you can go back to being bathed in that rare brand of bliss that comes from getting to marry your person.

You have serious vision

BUT YOU’RE LOST WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING YOUR WEDDING

The bee in our logo isn’t just an aesthetic choice—since our founding in 2012, it’s been the symbol that informs and inspires the way we serve you and yours.

Our founder’s grandmother—the wildly creative matriarch the Nightingale brand was built on—long ago designed two beautiful chairs upholstered in a golden bee fabric, which you’ll still find sitting pretty in Lisa’s home today. And then there’s the bee pin—a gift Lisa’s mom gave her from her grandmother’s jewelry collection.

Lisa always keeps the pin close by her side as a reminder of what this work is all about: legacy. 

Here, our wedding planners are firm believers that our role isn’t just to plan pretty parties—but rather to celebrate, honor, and preserve family legacies and epic love stories. Like our founder’s grandmother,

we are all about empowering others through the avenue of enduring artistry. And like the beloved bee, we are all about searching for and treasuring life’s sweetest moments.

Life is full of nectar

WE’RE HERE TO HELP YOU CHERISH IT

Lisa is not just a wedding planner—she’s the calm in the chaos, the cheerleader behind your dream day, and the trusted guide who turns your vision into an unforgettable reality. From a young age, she was captivated by the beauty of weddings.

With over a decade in hospitality, she mastered the art of creating flawless experiences while connecting with clients on a personal level. In 2012, she followed her passion for love stories and founded Nightingale Events.

Since then, Lisa has earned a reputation for creating personalized, elegant weddings that blend expertise with warmth. Her work has earned industry recognition, but it's the deep relationships she builds with couples that set her apart. She’s the one who’ll offer support, guidance, and encouragement, making every couple feel like family.

When she’s not crafting unforgettable weddings or tackling the toughest logistics with a smile, you’ll find her passionately supporting breast cancer research, indulging in beach days and burrata, or enjoying the wild adventures of her nieces and nephews. And yes—she’s probably snuggling up with her pit bull, Ruxin James.

With Lisa as your planner, you're not just a client—you’re part of the Nightingale family, and your wedding will be extraordinary.
