Our experience with Lake and Lavender could not have been better! We had an amazing event, at a better venue than we thought we could find, for less than we were planning to spend. I can’t remember the last time someone did more than I asked for and stayed under budget. Elisa went above and beyond every expectation and we can’t wait to work with her on our next event!

Elisa was an absolute pleasure to work with! I had a rather short timeline for my event, and had no idea where to start, so I enlisted her help. I gave her the theme of “Simple Elegance” and in no time, she had pulled together a dream team of vendors to execute a day more beautiful and perfect than I ever could have imagined. Elisa captured my dream and seemed to know what I wanted even better than I did! Every single detail, large and small, was thought out and was so perfectly me. She took care of everything and made it all seem so effortless. I was able to just relax and enjoy my special day stress-free.
Elisa puts her heart and soul into her events and truly cares about bringing her clients’ visions to life. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

My 60th birthday party was truly one of the most wonderful and magical celebrations of my life! I walked into what felt like an “Italian dream”. From the cafe lights to the vintage mint green bicycle with a basket overflowing with a floral delight! Entering the venue was beyond anything I could have ever imagined… A true Italian “Festa di Compleanno”!
Every large and small detail of this party was inspired, planned and executed by Elisa. Her attention to detail is incredible!
I cannot say enough about all the love and heart that she puts into her work! She is so pleasant, polished and professional in working with her clients as well as all of her contacts. Elisa is incredibly gifted and talented at her craft and I would highly recommend her for any type of event planning. Molte grazie, Elisa!

Like so many women, my life is beautifully full. In between juggling three young children and a growing business, it can be hard to make time for planning celebrations – even those that mean the world to us. Elisa captured my heart and dream for showering a dear family friend. The bride was overwhelmed by how perfectly the event captured her personality and style, and I was overwhelmed with gratitude and joy at helping make a day like that possible for her. Every detail was attended to, and I was able to enjoy the day, connect with my friend, and participate in the celebration without stress.

I talked to Lake & Lavender and just threw out an Italy themed idea and they were off planning. They found the perfect venue, and the perfect meeting place for the surprise. When you walked into the room you were in Italy. So many little details made this so very special. Lake & Lavender handled all the catering, Hotel room’s, RSVP, decorations and clean up after the event. I gave them the names and addresses of the guest list and they took care of it all. I was able to enjoy this event just as much as my wife, since Lake & Lavender handled everything for me.
I have had many people months later tell me that I did such a great job on my wife’s party, I just smile and remember back to the party because Lake and Lavender truly should get all the credit.

I had the complete joy of being hosted at a birthday celebration orchestrated by Elisa. The care she gave was seen in each aspect of the evening – from the table settings to the cake display to the party favors. Her attention to detail created a scene that made each person feel like an honored guest while at the same time facilitating a feeling of calm and peace so that friendship among guests could be freely shared. Not only did I feel completely loved being surrounded by dear friends, but I felt extra special having Elisa’s personal touches put into the party. I am so grateful and will forever treasure the night!

Elisa at Lake and Lavender did the party planning for my baby shower and she truly has the most amazing eye and inspiration for pulling together these events! Every detail was so beautiful and there were so many personal touches. We couldn’t have been more happy with everything she did for the party. She is truly gifted in making things special! From the floral arrangements, to the balloon arch, to a floral artwork piece of a ice cream cone (my major pregnancy craving)—-it was all beautiful and all of the guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful everything looked. Would highly recommend Elisa and her services, she will not disappoint!

Elisa did such an amazing job of making my bridal shower so perfect in every way! All the decorations were so lovely and elegant, and so “Me!” Each detail reflected my favorite colors, personal interests, and loves. It all ran so smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for anything different!

I had the privilege of attending the 60th birthday party for a very dear friend of mine at The Venue at Falls Park. The moment I walked towards the birthday party, I felt like I was walking into a fairy tale. Details that one could only dream up had already been thought of and seamlessly implemented by Elisa Sisterhen of Lake and Lavender. The creativity, implementation, and beauty was breathtaking. Not only was Elisa’s attention to detail exceptional, but being a business owner myself, I intentionally watched her interaction with the staff working the event. Elisa approached the staff with amazing grace and professionalism. I only wished I lived in the Carolinas to hire Lake and Lavender for my next special event!*
*Good news! Lake and Lavender will travel anywhere!
