I can't recommend Life Designs enough - I wish we could give them 10 stars. We planned our Arizona wedding while living in Australia and Rebecca made it so easy! She was so accommodating with our schedule and the time difference. She was also able to recommend awesome vendors as we weren't familiar with anyone local.

The best part was on the day of the wedding we could actually enjoy ourselves. We felt that we were guests at our own wedding and had the best evening. The design and creativity of the wedding was world class and impressive!

Cicely and Drew provided us with just the right amount of direction and support. All of the vendors they associate with are equally professional and top notch, with the added bonus of bringing a positive energy to the whole experience. We would highly recommend Life Design Event Planning!

We worked with Sara for day-of coordination for my wedding and I am SO glad that we did!! I met with her twice before the wedding to talk about details and she always had great ideas. When the actual wedding day came along, she was an absolute savior! She kept things moving and we never got off schedule. She really went above and beyond that day to make things go smoothly and I am so grateful that we had her there!

There are not enough kind words to say about Cicely, and the life design team. On our first meeting I was hooked. Cicely understood me and my vision. She new exactly what vendors to match me with and was full of answers. They think of absolutely everything, and are by your side every step of the way. I was astounded by all the time, energy, and commitment they spent planning the wedding of my dreams. Cicely and Drew have so much love and passion for each event they plan it's as if it was their own. The life design team took all the stress out of planning my wedding. The entire process was seamless, and the end result flawless. Cicely, Drew, and the rest of the life design team brought my fairytale to life. Actually, it was better then I ever could have imagined. I couldn't have done it without them. They truly are worth their weight in gold.

I can't say enough good things about Life Design Events! As I sit here, preparing this review, I am once again so moved by the beauty and perfection of my daughter's wedding day. If ever a day were perfect, it was certainly that day. I can still feel the love and happiness that was so present. We simply could not have dreamed of anything more magical, and we had a lot of dreams and desires! But each step of the way Life Design Events delivered consistently, calmed when necessary, cared deeply, and demonstrated why they are such a huge success.

When my daughter told me they had hired an event planner I was glad but not exactly sure what they’d be doing. The answer was basically—everything! As professionals, they didn't miss a beat. And if anything was heading off course, they quickly set it right again. I only wish I could speak to every mother-of-the-bride personally, and tell them “They've got the ball. No, really, they do!” I wish they could know what I now know. LDEP knows exactly what to do, when to do it, how to do it, and maybe most importantly, why they do it. Their clear desire to give their client a “perfect-for-them-day” that reflected their personal styles and flowed effortlessly shone through at every step. I know they cared…I felt it…and that is something no amount of money can buy.

Our guests said over and over to us “That was the most fun we've ever had at a wedding!” and “Liz and Micah looked like they were having so much fun. They looked so relaxed and happy!” I can say without any hesitation you couldn't be in better hands for your special event.

Everyone at Life Design Event Planning is so full of life. They really enjoy their work and they will go beyond all measures to make your event out-of-this world! They are so friendly and personable. And they really know how to make you feel special.

I honestly don't know how people plan their wedding on their own. Life Design Event Planning took ALL the stress off my shoulders and planned the most beautiful, magical wedding I could only have dreamed of. They came up with these wonderful ideas and the detail!!! The detail was amazing! From the decor to the paper products, they make everything so beautiful. They put so much love into planning your wedding. They are so talented! They gave me my fairy tale wedding.

Cicely, Drew and the entire Life Design team went above and beyond to make our wedding special. I wanted a highly detailed, non-cookie cutter wedding and they were up for any idea I had, advised me when I was going down the wrong path, and gave me ideas I’d never seen anywhere else. They never miss a detail, are ridiculously fun, and always look out for the bride and groom’s best interests. On the night of the wedding rehearsal, I told them I still needed my wedding dress steamed. Within an hour, they had found someone to steam my dress and had picked it up and dropped it off. It was money well-spent and we had a worry-free, amazing day that we’ll remember forever.

OMG the ladies at LDEP seriously made my wedding absolutely fantastic for my husband, my guests, and of course myself:) I don't even know who would have done all the little things Sara did for me. This girl seriously went the extra mile to give us everything to make our day amazing. She had great advice, a great work ethic, and was so sincere in wanting everything to go perfectly.

Seriously, it was worth every penny. I almost didn't use a planning service because I was like, "what does a planner really do?" I got the basic "day of" package, but Sara really took over EVERYTHING a month in advance. This way I could focus on my guests coming into town, etc. She was like a personal assistant. All the annoying things that bog a bride down in planning were handled by her, but she still let me make all the choices and ran it by me first.

Use Life Design. Seriously, an awesome set of ladies who know how to throw an amazing, stress free party/wedding:).
