our story

“show a little faith

there’s magic in the night…”

Welcome to Mona Liza Event Planners — we're so glad you're here!

With over 12 years of experience in hospitality and event planning, Mona brings passion, precision, and creativity to every event. Her journey began with an internship at the Hilton Ocean City Oceanfront in Ocean City, Maryland, and she is a proud alumna of Salisbury University. Since then, she's held roles such as Catering Sales Manager for both DoubleTree by Hilton and Sheraton Hotels, bringing a wealth of knowledge and industry expertise to each celebration.

At Mona Liza Event Planners, our guiding principles are love, attention to detail, and collaboration. Whether you're planning a wedding, social gathering, or corporate celebration, we believe every event should reflect your unique vision—beautifully and thoughtfully brought to life.

We’re excited to offer a complimentary one-hour consultation to get to know you and understand your needs. From Ocean City to the Chesapeake, across the states, or even abroad—we partner with amazing vendors and talented creatives to design events that are not only seamless, but unforgettable.

Let’s connect and start planning something truly special.

As you browse through our Gallery, we invite you to click on each photo; it will take you directly to the photographers’ websites, where you can see even more of their beautiful work. We’re proud to collaborate with some truly talented creatives!

At Mona Liza Event Planners, we offer a variety of services tailored to your needs, including:

• Theme & Design Consultation
• Event Management

Every client is unique, and so is every event — that’s why we curate a custom plan and package just for you.

We’re proudly based in North Bethesda, Maryland, just minutes away from Washington, D.C., and we plan events throughout the region and beyond.

When she’s not bringing events to life, Mona enjoys spending time with her family and friends, listening to Bruce Springsteen, watching Fixer Upper, and drawing creative inspiration from nature and everyday moments.

We would love the opportunity to support you in planning your special celebration. To inquire about date availability, please send a note to hello@monalizaeventplanners.com.
