We’re honored you're considering Lia Bancroft Events to guide you through such a meaningful season. We work with a select number of couples each year to provide an immersive, high-touch planning experience rooted in trust, intention, and refined design.
Please complete the form below with as much detail as you feel comfortable sharing. Your thoughtful responses help us understand your vision, values, and whether we are the right creative partners for your celebration.

A few thoughtful notes before we begin our journey together.
Q: How far in advance should we reach out for wedding planning services?
A: Most of our couples begin planning 12 to 18 months ahead of their wedding weekend. That said, we do occasionally accept projects with shorter timelines, particularly for destination or estate weddings, if there’s alignment and availability.
Q: Do you offer partial planning or event management?
A: We offer full-service planning exclusively. Our process is highly personalized and involves every detail, from creative direction to logistics and guest experience. We believe true seamlessness comes when our team is involved in every layer, from song selection and menu curation to paper suite production and on-site execution.
Q: How many weddings do you take on per year?
A: We plan no more than 8 weddings annually. This ensures each of our couples receives the highest level of care, attention, and creative direction throughout the planning journey.
Q: What types of weddings do you specialize in?
A: We specialize in luxury coastal weddings across the Northeast, from private estates to storied yacht clubs, from Cape Cod and Newport to the coasts of New Hampshire and Maine. Our events are timeless, tailored, and rooted in legacy. We work with couples who are deeply connected to the region and value tradition, family, and refined, personal design.
With a background in corporate consulting and finance, Lia brings a rare blend of logistical expertise and emotional intelligence, offering grounded guidance, creative vision, and unwavering support throughout your planning experience.
“Lia was organized, kept us on track through the planning process, and was in command throughout the wedding day. She started the process with a beautiful design board based on our conversations and then brought them to life working with some incredible vendors. I cannot imagine navigating putting together a wedding without her.”

Boston, MA
We love when a celebration holds a moment of pure delight — and Eleanor & Justin’s did just that.
Right as the cocktails were flowing, a plane flew overhead with a banner trailing behind: “Just Married ❤️ Congratulations Justin & Eleanor.” Guests cheered, the couple beamed, and the Cape breeze carried a memory that felt straight out of a movie.
A surprise flyover for the sweetest two. Coastal magic at its finest.

From daylight to night under the Conservatory Tent by @peakeventservices
When planning a tented wedding, the transition from day to night is one of the most important (and often overlooked) design moments. As the sun sets, the entire environment changes, and your lighting plan needs to anticipate that shift for both ambience and guest safety.
From soft, layered lighting that keeps the tent warm and inviting, to thoughtful illumination for pathways, restrooms, bars, and high-traffic areas, every fixture plays a role. It’s not just about aesthetics, it’s about accessibility, comfort, and creating a seamless experience as your celebration moves into the evening.
A tented wedding comes alive after dark… the magic is in how you prepare for it. ✨
