We interviewed three planners for our September 2010 wedding and Lisa, of Creative Concepts, was the standout choice. You could tell right away that her passion for what she does coupled with her ethic, professionalism and industry expertise were exactly what we needed. Lisa created the wedding of our dreams and the task wasn’t easy, we had an outdoor event that required everything from bathrooms and electricity to particular food and floral taste. All of which we needed on a tight budget. Not only did she create an event that our guests raved about but she did it on budget, with a smile and with a creative flair that amazed us. From small details of creating our outdoor “altar” with handmade flower arrangements to turning a plain tent into a reception taking in all the beauty of our surroundings, it was breath taking.
Our day was absolutely beautiful; her staff that assisted the day off was also professional and accommodating. All the vendors she recommended delivered exactly as promised and the results from each were outstanding.
In addition to designing and executing a wedding that captured the beauty of the outdoors she became a friend. Lisa is easy to talk to, offered us personal and professional advice and in our eyes went above and beyond in many ways.
I would absolutely recommend and refer Creative Concepts by Lisa to anyone looking for event planning services.

My partner and I will be forever grateful to Creative Concepts by Lisa. She enabled us to have a memorable and most importantly STRESS FREE event, by taking care of even the smallest of details. Lisa is extremely talented and organized, as well as loads of fun to work with. She has incredible enthusiasm and zeal for what she does, takes great pride in her work and is a brilliant problem solver. Her ingenuity, creativity, and artistic talent enabled our graduation party/surprise wedding to come to fruition more beautifully than we had ever imagined. Lisa also has excellent business sense and will find the best bargains and economical ways of doing things to suit any budget. We highly recommend her to anyone planning an event, big or small.
Very satisfied customers,

What can I say about Lisa? Extremely Detailed! Lisa was an asset on the Spirit of Boston always making sure the client was taken care of whether for a Corporate Function, Birthday Party, Anniversary Party or a Wedding! Customer Service is so important today in the Hospitality Industry! Lisa was able to handle all aspects of the events from start to finish and allow the guests to relax and enjoy their event. As the Food & Beverage Director for Spirit Cruises, I was always at ease when Lisa was on board taking care of the guests.

Lisa is a creative and extremely organized planner. I had the opportunity to work for her this past summer. Her attention to detail was flawless. I highly recommend her to anyone, personal or corporate to stage their event.

Creative Concepts by Lisa is such a unique company! Whether you need to spruce up your home, tighten up your daily planning, or throw an amazing party… well then Creative Concepts has got you covered like a Snuggie! (You can take that out if you want). As a DJ, I worked with Lisa at the CCBL “Ladies Night Pajama Party”. Lisa organized the event to a tee. She had everything planned out for us, and in turn the event was a blast for us and everyone in attendance. As owner of Ryan Kristafer Entertainment, I can guarantee that we will be working with CCBL many times in the future! When it comes to event planning, Lisa’s got her stuff together…plain and simple.

A fun night out with your girlfriends is becoming rarer and rarer these days and thanks to Creative Concepts By Lisa, that is exactly what we had at the Ladies Slumber Party at the Clarion Hotel. Eating, drinking, dancing and shopping, all while hanging out with your girlfriends and if that wasn’t enough, our hostess provided additional entertainment and lots of cool raffle prizes from our area vendors. It was truly a blast and I am grateful for the time spent with old friends as well as the opportunity to make new ones. Thanks Lisa for hosting such a fun event; I am looking forward to the next one.
