What couples should know

Lavish Occasions is one of planners listed on Blu List in Staten Island, GA, where every published price is shown upfront and no vendor has paid for placement. Pricing starts at $150, which is rare in this category — most planners hide their numbers until couples submit a form. Public review history is still light — a good prompt to ask for couple references during your first call. This listing was built from public sources and has not yet been claimed by the business; details may be slightly out of date until Lavish Occasions verifies the page. Before booking any planner, it's worth comparing two or three nearby planners side-by-side on price, capacity, and review patterns rather than going on photos alone.
