Spontaneity is great, but the best events don’t just happen. They take the perfect amount of creativity to go with not just one, but two eyes for detail.
We’re the perfect combination of fun and focus, of traditional and original, of left-brain and right. Lucky for us, our team has it all.
Our passion for serving you and for creating the truly unique and memorable is what sets Lavish apart.
After all, creating unforgettable events is what we’re all about.
Lavish creator and founder, Elizabeth Bassett, began her event planning career staging customer appreciation styling sessions nation-wide for American designer, David Weinstein (CP Shades). Her success in producing retail fashion industry events led to a passion for event planning, including weddings, parties, fundraisers, and marketing events. Most recently a senior corporate event planner, Elizabeth managed a team of professionals planning conferences, meetings, travel programs and galas for institutional investment firms globally.
Drawing from 20 years of professional experience as an event designer, fashion retailer and stylist, along with a BA in Theatre Direction and Production, Elizabeth combines her creativity and business acumen, with a love for exceeding expectations, to create unforgettable experiences for her clients.
In addition to Elizabeth’s know-how, Lavish offers a well devised team of creative talent to fashion and synchronize each event, every step of the way…
With her tenacity and attention to detail, Stephanie organizes each event effortlessly at lightning speed. Her experience as a floral designer and background in vintage fashion brings a creative flare to the team. She assists Elizabeth with design, décor, day-of coordination, and event production. In all she touches and creates, Stephanie brings an eye for the exceptional and extraordinary to Lavish events.
Soothing and reassuring, Felicity brings an aura of calmness to each event that she assists. Choreographing each detail with flawless movement, Felicity’s background in dance and fashion retail brings grace and beauty to every special occasion. Her pleasant nature and passion for the business is what makes her loved by clients and vendors alike.
