Who We Are
More than 20 years of planning events, and the vendor relationships to prove it.
LY Events has spent more than two decades planning celebrations across Florida. Over those years we have built long-standing connections with hundreds of vendors: venues, caterers, florists, DJs, photographers, rental companies and more.
Those relationships are what our clients feel. We know who delivers, who fits your style and your budget, and who will go the extra mile on the day. Calls get returned, dates get held and details get handled, because the people we work with have worked with us for years.
You get one planner who brings the whole team together, so your event looks effortless.

About Me
Hi, I'm Lisa Youngelson
I was born and raised in Florida, and I have spent my life celebrating here. Over hundreds of events, as a guest, a host and a planner, I have met and worked with the vendors who make this state's parties special. Many of them are now friends.
When I plan your event, I bring every one of those relationships with me. I know which venue suits a bar mitzvah for 300 and which suits a dinner for 30, which caterer will remember your grandmother's allergy, and which band will keep the dance floor full.
I also know what it feels like to be on your side of the table.

A night to remember
Eighteen years later, the venue that hosted my wedding reception still talks about it. That is the kind of event I plan for every client.Lisa Youngelson · Founder, LY Events
