Bespoke Wedding Planning & Design

san francisco | SANTA CRUZ | Monterey | Carmel | BIG SUR

Good news: That’s not the kind of wedding we’re planning.

Maybe you don’t know what you want your wedding to look like yet, but I bet you do know how you want it to feel. Personal, memorable, comfortable—with plenty of breathing room for you to connect with your people.

I want that too. Here’s how we’ll make it happen.

The cocktail hour turned into two.
The shuttle arrived late.
The couple rushed from photo to photo all night—and never got the chance to actually talk to anyone.

We’ve all been to weddings where…

We do things a little differently at LAE.

Tailored Planning & Design Support 

Every couple starts on the same foundation: Our Signature Planning Package, a curated collection of essential offerings designed to ease stress and protect your energy from start to finish.

From there, you can tailor your level of support by adding on our Extended Design or Guest Experience services. When combined, these offerings create our full-service planning experience — ideal for destination celebrations or highly layered, multi-day events.

Because bespoke processes = bespoke results. Here’s proof.

“Lia leads with so much compassion and confidence and was willing to go the extra mile and a half to make sure we were taken care of during our wedding journey. She’s a sound thought partner, and collaborator, and when things may seem stormy she provides the calm and expertise to keep everything going.”
