In addition to overseeing soirees for stars such as Halle Berry and Dustin Hoffman, Lisa Gorjestani works her magic—she has earned a reputation for showstopping tabletop design—with soon-to-be brides and grooms. "One of the first things couples say to me is, 'We want our wedding to be different,'" the planner explains. "So I try to go beyond my clients' dreams. I always want to surpass their expectations."
