I was fortunate to be in the care of LVL Wedding & Events for our entire wedding planning process which culminated into one perfect, beautiful, seamless day only made possible by Lorie Lau and her extraordinary team.

She held our hands through every step - helping to establish our wedding vision, coordinating venue tours, reaching out to all vendors and negotiating on our behalf, attending tastings with us and managing communication between us and venue, and fine-tuning every small detail in between. Somewhere in the midst of all of that, she was also extremely warm, personable, intelligent in navigating family dynamics, and always had helpful solutions on hand. She was always calm, always prepared.

In the weeks leading up to the day of the wedding, we were already very impressed at everything she had been dealing with for us late into the evenings as we finalized details. We put SO much trust in her to execute on what we dreamt of, and at a certain point, we knew had to just let go and allow everything to fall as they intended. To our absolute amazement, her services became even more exceptional on our wedding day as she expertly surrounded us with the most attentive team.

On wedding day, I was appointed an absolute angel bridal concierge woman - Claudia, who stood by me through every blip in the day. Dog peeing on dress? Cognac on bridesmaids dress? Need a moment of peace? Need foot numbing spray? Veil weights? She had everything at the ready and was the most perfect calming presence to have by my side. On the other side of things, Lorie was running the show with the flow of the day, making sure everyone and everything was where it needed to be. My family is still speaks praises of Esther, who was working alongside Lorie and had tissues and champagne at the ready for them when they went up for their speeches. They were so impressed at how her team was so proactive and organized.

I could go on and on on every little thing that we were amazed by - but to try to summarize it all in a few final words.. we could not have chosen a better person to guide us through this wedding journey. I could feel in our very first phone call that she was sincere and decided to go all in on full-service planning with her. Everything I hoped I could put my trust in Lorie she delivered tenfold and beyond. I had a very specific vision and a type A personality but I was beyond satisfied with the result. Lorie and her team are absolute professionals at what they do. Any future brides out there, rest assured you are in good hands and you can relax a bit (I wish I did more).

When my daughter mentioned hiring a wedding planner, I hesitated, but it soon proved to be the right choice.
Lorie impressed us with her organization, communication, and understanding of our vision, keeping everything on budget without sacrificing quality.
She was a pleasure to work with—kind, dedicated, and highly recommended. She made it the best day of our lives!!

We had a coastal wedding, around 70 people, and wanted the vibes to be romantic, calm, and joyful. We were also on budget and needed to find a planner that felt within our means. After lots of research and conversations with different folks, we found that Lorie and LVL offered the most for a very reasonable cost.

From the get-go, Lorie was very attentive - asking lots of questions, keeping consistent with check-ins and meetings, setting us up for success. It was clear she is skilled and experienced, so she was easy to trust. She also went the extra mile (literally) to travel from LA to Jenner, CA to our venue for our walk-through and tasting - this was very reassuring and helpful.

In the final 1-2 months, things felt hectic (which I imagine in the case with any wedding and any planner?), but as things came to a close, every single thing came into place. The wedding day went flawlessly with no additional stress. Everything was handled professionally and if there were problems, I (the bride) didn't hear about them. All I saw were calm, supportive helpers hard at work and a beautiful finished product.

I felt cared for, heard, and helped throughout the planning experience. On more than one occasion she really went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend Lorie and LVL for your wedding!

Lorie was a pleasure to work with. Highly responsive, very creative, able to make dollars make the biggest impact. We felt that she always had our back and would go to bat for us. Worked great in presenting our unique cultural elements for the wedding. Highly recommended to friends and others

Lorie and the LVL team were beyond extraordinary for my daughter's wedding. I can't recommend them enough; they did all the planning, helped out with an extraordinary design, and everything ran so smoothly and perfectly. I might be biased because my daughter was the bride, but her wedding was pure magic. Lorie was so kind, patient, always attentive, and responsive to my daughter's questions and also mine -and I had a lot to ask!

If you need a planner who is not only organized, composed, and proficient but is also kind and thoughtful, you need to hire Lorie and her team.

Since we first came in contact with Lorie, we knew she was the planner we wanted to hire. Her demeanor, calmness, knowledge, guidance and ability to answer our questions during our initial conversation were a confirmation to our decision, without even me sharing my never ending Pinterest board, she was able to precisely describe my vision after a few questions she asked, she literally nailed it and I was amazed that someone could grasp my thoughts and ideas so perfectly without any image to go off of. Hiring Lorie and the LVL team was the best decision we made. Our planning process was enjoyable and easy. My now husband and I always felt heard and cared for.

Lorie was always responsible and kept us informed and accountable during the entire time. People always told me that wedding planning is difficult and stressful but with Lorie we never like that at all. Honestly, she made it fun and we couldn’t wait to chat with her again and again.

On the wedding weekend and day of, Lorie and her team made sure that everything and everyone were taken care of, we didn’t need to worry about anything and I always had that peace of mind, and that’s the best you can have for your wedding day.

All of our guests and family still keep talking about how special Lorie made them feel and how spectacular everything looked. Every little detail.

The night before the wedding, we had some family drama that affected the seating arrangements we already had planned for, I was in tears and mad at the same time because I couldn’t understand why my relatives were complaining and having opinions about the seating situation for MY wedding, but when we called Lorie to let her know what was happening, she not only calm me down and helped me see past that, she also fixed the design so seamlessly that on the wedding day when we had the secret reveal of the reception space, I couldn’t stop crying of happiness to see how my vision was executed so beautifully and that the last minute drama and changes didn’t affect that. Lorie made magic happen once again.

Everyone complimented the design Lorie created and we were very happy.

We love Lorie and will continue to recommend her to anyone we know.

Do yourself a favor and hire Lorie and the LVL team.

Lorie is truly the best wedding planner anyone could ask for! From the very first consultation, she made us feel at ease with her expertise, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what she does. She took the time to understand our vision and turned it into a reality that was beyond anything we could have imagined. Every step of the planning process was seamless, and she went above and beyond to make sure our big day was perfect. Her creative ideas, vendor connections, and calm presence made all the difference. Thanks to Lorie, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day without a single worry. If you want your dream wedding to come to life without the stress, Lorie is your go-to planner!

My husband and I got married in December of 2019 and Heather of LVL was the very first step we took towards planning our wedding. Best decision we made...besides each other of course ;) I did a TON of research and spoke to 7 planners before moving forward with Heather. I could tell right from the first 5 minutes of talking to her that I wanted to work with her. She is kind, genuine, organized, transparent, helpful, creative, and so many other wonderful things. I am very much a Type A person and was nervous I wouldn’t get exactly what I wanted, but I got everything and more! She even has this incredible platform she uses, Aisle Planner, and I was obsessed. If you like organization, it’ll be your best friend during this process. Everyone kept telling me that planning a wedding was going to be a really stressful time, but to be completely honest, the only thing I was stressed about the entire time was our welcome dinner (which was the only event we didn’t hire Heather for). The day of the wedding went smoother than I could have ever dreamed of, and I never had to think about anything other than feeling/looking my best and enjoying the most magical night. I promise all of you amazing brides that you will be SO happy with your decision if you go with LVL. Thank you so, so much Heather!

LVL is such an incredible team of people to work with! I Being in the wedding industry myself, I work with a lot of vendors. When working with Heather and Lindsay, you know they truly care about each and every detail. They are devoted to making sure each couple has the best wedding possible while doing it with so much kindness and creativity. If you are looking for incredible design skills and amazing organization, look no further than LVL!

We loved our experience working with Britt Kingman from LVL. She was amazing from the start and helped us think through venue and other vendor selection, budgets, among many other things. Britt is incredibly organized and competent and helped us plan the wedding of our dreams. We had our wedding at a very logistically difficult venue, and we know it would not have been possible with Britt’s help. She made sure we were on track throughout the planning process. The day of the wedding, she and the rest of the LVL team helped keep everyone on track and the wedding run incredibly smoothly. We would recommend any couple getting married to work with her because she was such a dream to work with!
