LOLA Lavish with Lori worth every $$$

Booking the LOLA Lavish Package with Lori was the best investment we made during our wedding. Lori is a fantastic professional and elevated and executed our vision with perfection. She is experienced and candid about what is needed or optional to make the event memorable and EPIC. Her connection with a fantastic vendor team, fantastic eye for design, proactiveness and drive make her the perfect wedding planning master. We were planning the wedding from New Jersey and this was never an issue, and being Brazilian with guests from all over and even Brazilian vendors, Lori made sure our Brazilian culture was represented with ease! Best planner ever!!! Lori will execute your vision with no necessary expenses and amazing input - all of the favorite details or our day were Lori insights! On day of if there were any issues we have no idea! It ran absolutely smoothly despite two venues across town, snow and a bilingual crowd! Talk about being an awesome leader!

Simply the best!

We had the pleasure of working with Michelle from Lola Event Productions for our wedding, and her exceptional service, guidance, and excellent execution truly made our day unforgettable. From the moment we began planning, Michelle's professionalism and reliability were evident. She seamlessly coordinated all the details, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Our wedding party and guests couldn’t stop raving about how organized and well-executed everything was. Michelle's attention to detail and her ability to keep everything on track allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any worries. Michelle is not only our planner, she is now our forever friend! Her warmth, dedication, and genuine care made the entire experience even more special. We highly recommend Michelle and Lola Event Productions to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled wedding planner. Her expertise and commitment to excellence are unmatched.

Lori and LOLA are amazing!

I can’t recommend Lola and Lori enough. She made our wedding an absolute dream. She was incredibly organized, and handled all the stressful parts of planning so we could enjoy the process. She was also just a ton of fun to work with, and I really looked forward to our meetings! Not to mention the amazing vendor recommendations. Everyone at our wedding asked how we found such a great band, florist, cake etc. all that magic came from Lori! She really truly made our dream come alive! Words cannot describe how grateful be we are to Lori for making our day so special and such an absolute success. Her attention to detail and positive attitude throughout this entire planning process was so special and so wonderful! We are still basking in all the joy that was our amazing wedding. I could not have imagined a more perfect day. We received so many compliments about how seamless, beautiful and fun everything was.
