Alisa has been an invaluable help to us throughout the process. She is capable, expert, and kind. She provided us the coaching and guidance we needed to plan our own wedding at a fraction of the cost of full-on wedding planning.

Alisa was a lifesaver. She has this amazing way of making every detail feel special, keeping budget in mind without feeling like we were cutting corners. Beyond her expertise, she was our ‘party therapist,’ always there to offer advice, calm our nerves, and make sure every decision was the right one for us. Working with her made the whole process much less stressful and gave us the confidence to fully enjoy our wedding day.

We wanted to include family and friends from across the country, but we didn’t know how to make that happen. With Alisa, we decided on something unique that some people might call crazy. Rather than guests traveling to us, we traveled to them. We had multiple small weddings in three different states. Without Alisa, there’s no way we would have had such a creative plan – and have it all work!

Alisa’s depth of knowledge and experience prompted us to consider factors we’d never thought of on our own. She is an amazing communicator, with a special ability to be both firm and kind in negotiation and vendor management. You can rely on her to ensure that you’re getting what you want and what you’ve agreed upon from your vendors. It’s not an exaggeration to say that our wedding was even better than we’d imagined it could be because we had Alisa on our team!

Born and raised in Chicago, a long-time resident of Denver, and now based in Brooklyn, Alisa has planned events across the country, including destination weddings. Now with Pear Weddings, she can help couples anywhere in the world.
