Voted "Best Event Planner" by Westchester Magazine!
Lissy was a dream collaborator. She was warm, communicative, and knowledgeable, providing meaningful advice during the wedding planning process that was responsive to my needs. I felt heard and supported throughout. Her wedding day coordination - including vendor and site management, stealth guest wrangling, and schedule keeping - was detail-oriented and seamless. The day couldn't have gone more smoothly! Importantly, Lissy is also fun to work with. She clearly loves that she does and it shows. Thank you, Lissy!

As I said throughout this process, if I appreciated having your help for our first son's Bar Mitzvah, I did it even more for our younger son's. Everything was fantastic: the food was delicious, the room was gorgeous, everything ran so smoothly, the family loved every single moment and most importantly, our son felt heard and celebrated.
Thank you for helping me navigate all the changes with flexibility, wisdom and tranquility.
You are amazing at what you do and I will always recommend you.
Thank you again,

We hired Lissy as a day-of wedding party planner, to keep everything in check and to have another set of eyes, because I wanted to enjoy my only child’s wedding. It was the best thing I ever did. She was on top of everything from early morning to way past midnight. But it truly was our pleasure to meet her and develop a wonderful friendship. She is warm, friendly and extremely responsible. I would recommend her to anyone for a full-time planner to day-of. She’s someone you will be ecstatic to meet. All my guests only had extreme compliments about Lissy!!
She’s a take charge person who we felt very comfortable with and took the pressure off of us for this special day.

Lissy: I still don’t know how to thank you for helping plan the best event to honor our son. I mean it was the best event period. No modifier like “best event given the circumstances” or “best event given COVID”.
Your guiding us through the process was incredibly reassuring. Finding our location was amazing. Introducing us to your vendors was amazing. The work Daniel and his team at Event Design Studio did transforming the space was breathtaking. Todd Yahney and his crew were low key and created a nice ambience with the music and games. Above and Beyond's food was amazing. Joanna at Favor & Flair was a perfect fit; she sourced the best swag.
Tom Warren's photography speaks for itself. And finding the Delorean Time Machine was priceless!
Your expertise was the secret sauce to pulling it off! We trying couldn’t have done it with out you.
So please accept this humble thank you!

An Ode to Lissy! She brought to life our fun and complex theme of The Tonight Show for our son’s bar mitzvah. Everything was stellar due to her professional advice, infinite ideas, sage recommendations, and amazing ability to guide us from concept to final production. No detail was left unanswered and most importantly she made us feel guided with kindness, every step of the way. Friends and family continue to compliment us.
Lissy, you are simply the best!
With much gratitude and warm wishes,

Lissy, I will thank you again after the party, but in this moment, I am feeling very grateful for you. For holding my hand, for making me feel like I was the only mitzvah you were managing when I know you have so so many others this month. For being so accessible, approachable, caring and organized. You are terrific and it's clear that you love what you do. It makes a big difference. We are lucky to have you!

We want to thank you so much for helping to plan Max's bar mitzvah weekend and making sure it all ran smoothly. We debated over whether to hire a planner but now that the weekend is over, we agree that it was a fantastic decision to work with you. From one of our first meetings with the florist, when you spoke up to make sure they followed my direction for the centerpieces, I knew you would be helpful. But not until the event itself, did I full understand how having you there to handle all the details (like a broken dress and more!!) would enable us to be fully present at the party, enjoy the time with family and friends, and focus on our bar mitzvah boy. With your help, everyone had a fantastic time and several parents mentioned to me that their children said it was the best bar mitzvah party they've been to! Love it!! We will let you know as soon as we get the next bar mitzvah on the calendar!

Thank you for all your help this weekend. You made the event for Brett and me. You managed to recommend exactly what we wanted the night to be and we couldn't have asked for anything else! Thank you for understanding us, our budget, our needs, and also for being there on Friday night. You were spot on and always on the spot. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy the evening.
We couldn't have done this without you.

We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work, meticulous oversight, and the easy going, calmness you brought to planning Maya's bat mitzvah. We are so grateful with how flexible, organized and reassuring you were with helping us manage our last minute change of venue! We seriously cannot imagine how we would have made that work without you! While we initially thought we only needed help with making some initial decisions, it became clear that your expertise, advice and incredible knowledge and skill at managing all the details which make a party both successful and more importantly, stress free (!) were a necessity for making our weekend of events so special. All of our vendors also loved working with you and all commented on how lucky we were to have you! We cannot wait to plan our next party with you!! You are truly a rockstar!

We are so incredibly grateful to you in so many ways for everything you did and in every way that you were present to make our son's Bar Mitzvah exactly what we hoped it would be. Your ability to see through my uptight overplanning to the holes that needed filling and your ability as well to see the forest for the trees made it so that the entire event was a seamless experience and every single one of our guests had a great time. But most of all, WE had a great time and WE felt that it was fun, and that's all thanks to your hand in this, and the way YOU enabled me to relax and enjoy myself.
It was as if you made magic--the seamless transition to exactly what we wanted and needed happened so gracefully, and you yourself embody the calm and happy energy that we hoped everyone would feel as well. We are so appreciative of everything you did to make this work, and every way in which you made this easy for us, and especially for your flexibility at the end dealing with our last minute details. It felt mind-bogglingly complicated for us, but it was to everyone who came and celebrated a truly haimish and fun celebration--and even more so for our son. He was thrilled and so were we. We can't wait till next time and look forward to endless opportunities to recommend you to everyone we know. Thank you for making our simcha complete.

Susan and I wanted to thank you so much for all of your efforts. You did an awesome job and were right on top of everything, and there was a lot to be on top of.

We really are most appreciative. If you ever need anyone to recommend your services feel free to refer them to me - I will be happy to sing your praises.

Lissy Carr is an amazing event planner. Our event was non-traditional with many moving parts and last minute changes. Lissy was able to quickly pivot and make it drama-free and seamless and gorgeous! With Lissy involved, I was able to relax and appreciate every moment of the night - it turned out to be one of the best events I have EVER hosted. Lissy has a great taste and an eye for detail. She's incredibly well-organized, thoughtful, kind, and knows how to get things done! The vendors she recommended were all fabulous. I would highly recommend Lissy for any event, and hope to work with her again soon!

I hired Lissy to help me on the day of my daughter's bat mitzvah and she did so much more than that. She was a complete professional, from coordinating with all outside vendors in the weeks leading up to the celebration to managing every small detail at the event. She even problem-solved problems I didn't know I had! Because of Lissy, I was able to be a relaxed guest rather than a stressed-out hostess. Her competence to handle everything and everyone allowed me to enjoy the special moment with my family and friends. I would unequivocally recommend Lissy to anyone planning a special event."

"We hired Lissy for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah at the New York Athletic Club in Pelham, as she came highly recommended from a friend. Though we did most of the planning for the event ourselves, we wanted to enjoy the festivities without having to worry about party details on the day-of. Lissy was amazing, coordinating with the catering manager, DJ, photographer and entertainers. She was also helpful leading up to the event with questions on vendor recommendations and general help, as this was the first mitzvah in our family.
Everything was under control with Lissy, with a smile, and a "Don't worry, I got it.”

Thank you so much for the support you gave me and my family as we went through the process of fine tuning our daughter's wedding. From all accounts, the wedding reception and ceremony went off flawlessly; the bride was calm and remained happy and carefree throughout the evening; the groom and his big family were grateful for the organized and beautiful way the evening went. Both sides of the family felt good and knew their needs were being met; the children had a blast and did their job with respect and joy. It was a great event and I enjoyed every minute of it. I look forward to working with you in the future. You are a pro.

Lissy was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was incredibly responsive and very easy to work with. Nothing was ever an issue - during the planning or at the Bat Mitzvah. Lissy is calm, organized and creative. She managed the event flow, arranged bringing in all the necessary tables, chairs etc. with the vendors, created a floor plan to maximize the space and was the point person for everyone at our 300+ person bat mitzvah. She was fabulous! Using her again for my son's bar mitzvah is a no brainer. She is terrific!!!
