Mountain Bride

Lisa and her team at mountain bride are truly amazing! I couldn’t even imagine planning our wedding without her. She made the entire wedding planning experience so easy! Her years of experience truly shows, and seeing our wedding ceremony and reception brought me to tears! It was everything I wanted plus more. Lisa is so kind and makes you feel like family. I loved her organization throughout the planning experience. She made our mountain wedding vision come to life, and recommended the most incredible team of vendors for our big day. We were lucky enough to also have Anne-Marie apart of our wedding day! She was one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met and such a huge help during the reception portion of the day! Any bride would be lucky to have Lisa apart of the wedding planning adventure! xo

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars, or even title this review "what we loved about Mountain Bride". We came to Lisa with a vision of a beautiful mountain wedding, but no idea how to make it happen and no time to do it ourselves. We were facing many challenges, I was in Calgary working and going to school and my now husband was working in Edmonton. Without Lisa, I don't think we could have done it and looking back I wouldn't do it without her even if I had all the time in the world! People are still telling me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. From our perspective, we agree! It was breathtakingly beautiful, stress free, hiccup free, full of fun and every vendor involved was top of the line! For a few more specifics about what made our experience incredible, keep reading: 1. Mountain Bride flexibility: Lisa was so understanding of my schedule. Sometimes I just couldn't meet and that was okay. Sometimes I was unexpectedly late. Sometimes my partner couldn't make it. Sometimes we just had to Skype. And all of it was okay. She always made it work for me and she always used our time together effectively. She would bring vendors to her studio so we could stack meetings instead of having me go to multiple meetings around the city. She would answer my million emails with quick responses that were always helpful. This made wedding planning with her a joy. For people with high stress and unpredictable lives, this was everything. 2. Mountain Bride personality: We love Lisa. She is friendly and funny and incredibly kind. We loved getting to know her and she was always able to put me at ease while also getting me excited about every detail. Every interaction was a pleasure. She is also very professional and knows the business inside out. She was very easy to get along with and she never thought any of our own ideas were silly. She embraced them and brought them to life! When the big day came around, we not only trusted her professionally, but we also had developed a friendship with her. 3. The Big Event: Our wedding day was perfect. It was the most beautiful event I have ever been to and it is all thanks to Mountain Bride and her team. They kept us organized and took care of all the vendors, set up and take down. This enabled my partner and I to fully appreciate our special day. I had no stress, no concerns and it was the most fun I have ever had. The decor was stunning and I cried when I saw it. They had turned a few vague ideas on our part into what I can only describe as a dream. Gorgeous enough to be on a magazine cover and with personal details everywhere that really reflected who we are as a couple. Every member of Lisa's team (especially Lisa and Ann Marie), worked very hard and we appreciate it more than I can express. I could write a novella on my positive experience, but I will stop here. If you want an experience like ours (relaxed, fun and easy) with results like ours (a perfect day, a perfect setting and simply enjoying being perfectly in love), then Mountain Bride is for you. Let the planning begin!

Lisa is a shining example of an entrepreneur fulfilling her true calling! I will always respect her for her passion, industry leading expertise, and commitment to excellence. She put her heart and soul into our wedding at Cherry Creek Estate, treating it as if it were her own. We enjoyed every moment and it was beyond our wildest dreams! Lisa and her talented team maintained a positive attitude and the utmost professionalism throughout the entire day despite the intense +36°c heat, unexpected wind storm, and pesterous mosquitoes. We chose the Design & Coordination Service, which Lisa has down to a science! There were five aspects in particular that made all the difference: regularly scheduled meetings, plus timely communication outside of those meetings; a site visit to Cherry Creek Estate so we could do a walk through and envision the design; the tangible aspect of the meeting where she set-up multiple table design options for us to choose from; spending quality, uninterrupted time with our friends and family during the wedding weekend as we fully trusted her and her team with set-up/take-down; and the euphoric feeling as she walked us, with our eyes closed, to the center of the reception barn on our wedding day to do the big reveal of our vision come to life! Lisa, we appreciate you more than you'll ever know and we would not have had such a successful day without you and your team going above and beyond!

Lisa was absolutely fantastic!! We hired her for coordination; we did all the planning and she helped us keep on track and ensuring everything was ready to go for day of including making sure the day went smoothly with no hiccups and on time. It's clear she has been in the business for a while and is fantastic at what she does because she offered many small suggestions that made big differences to our day. What I liked was that we met several times leading up to the wedding to go over details and itinerary and being clear on what our day looks like; Lisa also made us think about things we didn't even think of. We received many compliments in how well organized the entire wedding was from start to finish. In addition to keeping our wedding day running smoothly, she offered many suggestions on reputable vendors and we truly had a dream team of people in the business who all work together fantastically and helped create a beautiful day. Thank you Lisa and Kristen for the awesome day!!

Mountain bride made our planning and day of the most amazing day we could of asked for. Lisa and her team made sure we weren't stressed about anything on our special day and the decorations were absolutely beautiful. Many guests say it's one of the most beautiful weddings they've been to! Kelly & Nick Wiebe
