About us

Hi, I'm Laura, founder and the creative director of Lia Ever After LLC.

As a mom of three and someone who has always loved creating memorable experiences for others, I started Lia Ever After with a simple goal: to help families celebrate life's special moments without the stress of planning and setup.

What began as a passion for creating magical sleepover experiences has grown into a business that offers luxury sleepovers, spa parties, outdoor movie nights, picnics, paint parties, bell tent experiences, and custom celebrations designed to bring people together.

I understand firsthand how busy life can be. Between work, family, and everyday responsibilities, planning a picture-perfect event can feel overwhelming. That's where Lia Ever After comes in. We handle the details so you can focus on making memories.

Based in Wallingford, Connecticut, we take pride in creating beautifully styled, personalized events that make every guest feel special. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, milestone, graduation, best friend's night, or simply creating a memorable experience for your child, our goal is to make every event feel magical from start to finish.

Thank you for supporting our small family-owned business. We look forward to helping create memories that will last a lifetime.

With love,
Laura Mercado
Founder & Creative Director| Lia Ever After LLC
