Truly COULD NOT have done it without her!

Yes, we're still in the midst of a pandemic. And, for someone who was still so absolutely ready to throw a wedding, we knew we were going to be performing a bit of a balancing act. In fact, this was our one-year-postponed wedding. Lauren and her team have been with us through it all - the very low (i.e. contacting ALL of our vendors to let them know the new plan and set things up) and then, even more importantly, when it was time for replanning our wedding from scratch.
Lauren helped me navigate the ever-changing restrictions, kept in CONSTANT contact with the entire vendor team, and reminded me regularly to HAVE FUN with it all. But then, on the day of, that's when she REALLY shined.
From the moment the morning started, Lauren and her assistant Grace were there for every question I had - they kept us on schedule, they grabbed everything I needed to move to the venue, they held onto my phone [AND took some BTS pictures!], they brought my overnight bag to the hotel because we didn't have time to check in due to having no gap between getting ready and game time... I can't get over how they made the day so flawless.

Everyone we spoke with [including all of our vendors] said that Lauren and Grace EXECUTED THE HECK out of what was arguably one of the more complicated weddings I've ever attended. But, best of all, they made it look effortless. I could not have done it without them. I might like to think I could've but I would've been miserable, I would've been hungry, AND I would've been the least happy bride.
Lauren and Grace kept us fed and handed us drinks [booze and water], they kept us informed, AND they surprised us with a fully decorated hotel room with some snacks the night of. If you are on the fence for hiring a planner GET OFF OF IT, Hire Lauren and her squad, and you'll be a totally blissed out bride (and/or groom) the day of your wedding, and the weeks/months [or in our case, YEARS] before!

Lauren is AMAZING! Highly Recommend!

Lauren made my wedding experience stress free, enjoyable and fun! From start to finish, Lauren took care of all minor detail, timelines, communication between all vendors and really put my mind at ease every step of the way. On my wedding day I was able to enjoy getting ready and enjoy the entire day without a single ounce of stress because I knew Lauren and her team had everything under control. Lauren's guidance, feedback and professionalism really helped make our wedding day special and PERFECT! I highly recommend and will always recommend Lauren and her team!

Wedding planner & weekend of coordinator

My husband and I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience with Lauren and her team was. Lauren was our wedding planner and weekend of coordinator. Lauren’s demeanor was calm, collected, professional and incredibly fun from the start of our planning process through the end of our wedding day. Both of our families and our vendors mentioned how much they enjoyed working with Lauren and her team without prompt. Lauren’s many years of experience in event planning and her vast network of contacts was instrumental in helping us find the best vendors and also help us avoid unnecessary wedding planning stressors. As an example, when planning my first look with my father, the hotel initially informed us that using any space other than the hotel room would come at a cost. Fortunately, Lauren had great relationships with the management staff at the hotel and was able to quickly find us a beautiful spot in the hotel to use for free! Helping us avoid both uncomfortable conversations and stress to our budget! She was also so on top of communication that she jumped in to do so before we even had to ask! She had so many helpful organizational tips that really allowed my husband and I, as well as our families, to feel confident that we were completely prepared come wedding weekend and also such a great sense of how best to time things so that the whole weekend flowed smoothly. Looking back on the last year of planning I can’t imagine enjoying the experience as much if not for Lauren and her team. My husband and I are so still so grateful for Lauren’s support. We look forward to using Lauren and her team for other events in the years to come!
