Amy graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. For several years, she worked in tax and general accounting, wealth management and finance, but none of these positions fulfilled her. It was Amy’s dream growing up to become a wedding & event coordinator, and after her own wedding, she decided to turn her dream into a reality. Although many would say finance is very different than the wedding industry, Amy has found a way to apply the same highly detail-oriented, organized and time-sensitive working style that is shared in her new position.

On the road to achieving her dreams, she was a wedding assistant for six months prior to joining Amazae Events. Within the Amazae family, she hopes to learn from the best and make each event she is a part of as amazing as it can be. Being a part of someone's magical day is a privilege she does not take lightly and wants each client to walk away feeling taken care of, valued, and loved.

Amy’s passions include animals, cuisine, fashion and style, her friends, and family. In her spare time, she enjoys planning various social events, keeping up to date with the latest in fashion trends and makeup, her favorite TV shows and movies, long walks with her dog Coco, and eating steak tartare with her husband whenever they spot a French restaurant. She believes that perseverance is the key to life and nothing worth having comes easy.

Lisa was first introduced to organizing events when she volunteered to be on the Auction Committee at her daughter’s elementary school. She was hooked at "Let’s do something unique and FUN!” and she hasn’t stopped being involved in events since. Her passion has grown from school auctions to executing bridal, social and corporate events. With 10+ years of event and catering experience, Lisa brings creativity, attention to detail, organizational skills and confidence in executing the perfect event for our Amazáe clients.

A good day for Lisa always starts with a strong cup of coffee and a bit of gardening. It would continue with grocery shopping for ingredients to make a new recipe for dinner, a call from her college-aged daughter, followed by working with Amazáe clients on future events. Winding down from a good day would include a refreshing cocktail alongside her husband in the backyard of their home. A GREAT day would be the previously mentioned activities plus traveling to new destinations for work or pleasure!
