Organized, thoughtful, professional

I met Lea through a close friend who had hired Lea for her wedding and was so grateful for the introduction. Lea gave me the support I needed to plan my wedding. She was extremely helpful on a number of levels: 1. She helped provide structure to my planning process & held me accountable for getting things done on time 2. She brought professional energy to all of our meetings and came prepared with all of the right questions for the vendors 3. She added style and grace to my planning process, helping me think of details I may have overlooked 4. She kept me happy and sane through a very stressful process. Lea put out some last minute fires and kept things running smoothly on the day of my wedding so that I could really enjoy myself and let go of the stress leading up to that day. I am so grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anybody planning a wedding. I also know that Lea is adaptable and in times when large weddings are not possible, she'd be able to craft a creative and tasteful gathering.

Lea was A MAZING! From start to finish. She listened to what we wanted and handled everything with the utmost professionalism. We had our wedding reception at our home. We had planned on having a patio party catered for 80 people. There was a freak rain storm the evening of the event and we had to move our event indoors at the last minute. Lea and her team pivoted beautifully and turned our party into one of the most memorable events. Not just for us, but for our guests. People are still talking about this party! And not just the party, but Lea specifically. Lea and her team went above and beyond. They even greeted each guest curbside with a huge golf umbrella to help them negotiate the slippery pathway to the party. My husband and I are total introverts and were sort of half dreading having this party but we are so delighted that we did. It makes us feel empowered to have more parties. And we are looking for reasons to work with Lea again. She is a delight! You will not be disappointed. Oh one last thing. Apparently during our party there was some hiccups with the caterer (a third party that my husband and I selected, not a caterer that Lea had worked with before). Lea smoothed things over to the point that we never even knew there was an issue going on. Wow!

Working with Lea Stafford Events, you are guaranteed customized and professional service. The owner, Lea Stafford, takes personal interest in your event to ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible, and not only meets, but exceeds your expectations. She's so personable and down to earth. She makes you feel so comfortable leaving such a large task in the hands of someone else, and for most women like myself, we know this is hard to do. But, Lea reassures you every step of the way with regular follow-up and constant communication, so you never feel out of the loop. I would not hesitate to hire Lea Stafford Events for future events and would definitely recommend her to others. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
