Laura was the best decision that my husband and I made while planning our wedding!!! We hired her shortly after our engagement after seeing and hearing what a wonderful job she did planning our best friends wedding. Laura was there for me throughout the whole process of wedding planning- she offered advice, inspiration, and real-life knowledge that only an experienced wedding planner would have. We used Pinterest to help share ideas back and forth, she helped me organize my contracts, and reminded me when things were due! Every single idea that I had she helped me make it a reality!!! When the antique drawers that we were renting fell through at the last minute (and by last minute I mean the week of) what did she do? - she brought drawers from her own house and no one could even tell the difference!!!! Laura was my biggest advocate throughout the whole process, when a vendor gave me a "no" she did her best to turn it into a "yes!" She understands how a bride wants to feel on her big day and she does everything in her power to make it happen. Without her I would of had to give up on a lot of the ideas that I had....but she was there for me and helped make my vision come to life. Emails and questions never went unanswered and even though she was going through a busy time in her own life I never felt like she had forgot about me. Laura is a wonderful wedding planner and a wonderful woman- when you speak with her you will feel like you are talking to a friend. If you hire Laura Birney as your wedding planner, you will not regret it!!!!!!!
