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.

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.
