A lifetime of entertaining has formed the basis for the love Lisa Lou has for creating hospitable situations and encouraging people to return to the table. She is a strong believer that we learn to do life when friends, family and even strangers, gather together to learn from each other. Whether hosting a party for 300 or having an intimate dinner for 12, Lisa Lou’s greatest joy comes when she can provide a gift of respite from everyday life to her guests. She is certified by the Charleston School of Protocol, Home Staging Resource and has a B.A. in Journalism from Texas Tech University. When she is not busy writing blogs, mentoring young women or hosting parties, she enjoys spending time with her family and their Labrador Retriever, Colonel.
Families don’t gather around the table anymore, yet the table is where we learn to do life:
Manners, Wisdom, Organization, Entertaining, Family

"Lisa is the best hostess you could wish for. She creates a warm, cozy, welcoming, yet sophisticated environment filled with practical spaces for food, fun and conversation. She knows how to create an environment of friendship, conversation and relaxation. Because of Lisa’s impeccable atmosphere in preparation for her guests, she invites you into a place where you are self motivated to be on your best behavior.”

"In our many years of knowing the Zooks, nothing feels more “homey” than being with them in their beautiful home! It’s always filled with warmth and hospitality. Their graciousness makes you feel like you’re part of the family! No stranger walks into the Zook’s home! Her beauty in entertaining provides style and elegance! We can’t wait to get invites to the Zook’s parties. We never feel like we need an invitation, though. We’re welcome anytime we knock!"

"Growing up in a home where we ate dinner in front of the television, my knowledge-base for entertaining was pretty limited. Lisa helped me understand not only the basics, but also the special touches that could set my event apart. With her kind encouragement and strong guidance, Lisa provided me the tools I needed to do it right. Over the years I had gathered a hodgepodge of hostessing tips but never felt my events came off the way I desired. Lisa helped me better prepare, narrow my focus and entertain with confidence."
