With over a decade of experience in corporate finance and consulting, Lia brings a rare and valuable dual perspective: logistical mastery paired with thoughtful, creative direction. Her approach is defined by discretion, personalization, and precision. Delivering weekends that are immersive, intentional, and beautifully executed.
Named one of the top wedding planners in the U.S. for 2024–2025 and recognized by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, BRIDES, Business Insider, Carats & Cake, and The Knot, Lia’s work is as trusted as it is celebrated.
Lia has supported 75+ couples in planning once-in-a-lifetime events. She partners most often with young professionals and legacy families who value tradition, privacy, and timeless design. Whether building a tented estate wedding from the ground up or curating a multi-day celebration by the sea, she leads with calm clarity, exceptional organization, and heartfelt care.
The coastal experience is in her blood. Lia is deeply rooted in the Northeast and grew up summering on Cape Cod. She continues the tradition with her husband, three boys, and chocolate lab. Her ideal day would include a family beach trip building sandcastles and capping the day with a sunset boat ride and a glass of crisp glass champagne.
“Her composure and can-do attitude were a breath of fresh air along the whole process. Lia was kind, flexible, encouraging, and happy to work through every obstacle. She handled all of the details big and small, many of them we didn't even think about!”
