Swan Lake is the best choice

Lauren was the best coordinator we could have and the venue it self was like no other. The wedding package is unbeatable and I could not recommend this enough.

Highly Recommend

Lauren was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Our wedding was truly incredible and was better than we dreamed of all thanks to Lauren. She was always prompt, kind, caring, and thorough. On the day of our event, she went above and beyond! She was always there when I needed her, she anticipated all of our needs, set up all of our decor beautifully, and offered kind words and moral support. She worked impressively quickly by herself setting up, rearranging, and breaking down the space. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I have nothing but phenomenal things to say. The venue is absolutely beautiful and made for stunning photographs. I would highly recommend! Words cannot express how thankful I am for Lauren making our wedding day a dream come true!

absolutely Amazing

We had our wedding at Swan Lake Resort in Galloway, NJ and Lauren was our coordinator and she was absolutely amazing! She was there for any and everything I needed, she was prompt on getting back to me when I had questions, she checked up to see if there was anything I needed, she assisted everyone at our wedding, she even made sure my grandmother that uses a walker was comfortable, she made sure she had a chair to sit in with arms, Lauren made all my guest comfortable, she is very compassionate about what she does and does a great job! I will definitely use them again if I ever have another event.

Amazing wedding planner and team

We were initially not planning on a wedding until pandemic restrictions were starting to lift off. We decided 4 months prior to the wedding date that we wanted to get married and was looking for a wedding planner who would be flexible and experienced. Lauren was the best wedding planner we could have asked for. After our initial conversations and meetings at the Swan Lake, it wasn't a hard decision to ask for her help. She was very flexible with our increasing number of wedding guests as restrictions were lifting off. Also, she came with a great list of vendors who were experienced, competiitve in pricing, knew exactly what to expect, and accomodating. They have also worked with Lauren before, so I didn't have to really do many of the coordinating. Lauren gave us questionaires and list of things to consider, which were extremely helpful in planning the perfect day. She frequently checked in with me, gave me A to Z planning guidelines, and even decorated the reception area just so perfect, I couldn't have asked for a better planner. Frankly, I was stressed out with the planning and other work and life events happening simultaneously, and I don't know if I could have done without Lauren's help. My friends have already asked me how I did it, and I just shared Lauren's contact information. It was such a beautiful and unforgetable day, and I thank Lauren for all her help.

A absolute MUST when planning the wedding of your dreams!

Anyone that knows me, knows that I can get extremely overwhelmed easily. As much as I was over the moon excited to be getting married and planning a wedding, I was also nervous and dreading the stress that comes along with the planning. My mom and I met Lauren at The Merion's wedding show and instantly were interested in working with Lauren and her team. We knew we were going to feel better having someone to guide us through the process and to have extra hands along the way and on the day of my wedding. It was the BEST decision we made and her knowledge and professionalism exceeded our expectations!
Lauren was available at literally all stages of the planning process; from the brainstorming at the very beginning, decor inspiration, day-of scheduling, and everything in between. My mom and I sat on many phone calls with Lauren leading up to the big day and she would always make herself available for us whenever we needed to ask her opinion or talk through some ideas with her. Lauren and her team are extremely professional, down to earth, and take their job very seriously.
A few weeks leading up to the wedding day, Lauren took care of everything and made sure to make me feel as unstressed as a bride could possibly feel. Every text sent to Lauren was answered quickly and she was there for me at any hour to answer any question that my mom and I had. I honestly don't even know where to begin when talking about the day of the wedding! Lauren was the eyes and ears and director of every aspect of the wedding day and I did not have anything to do but literally enjoy my day. I can safely say that our wedding day wouldn't be what it was if it weren't for Lauren.
What stuck with me is how Lauren mentioned that after the wedding, it is not goodbye; that she treats all of her clients like family. I can see that whole- heartily and do feel as if I've gained a friend through this process. I will continue to touch base with Lauren and share with her all of the milestones that my husband and I will share.
If you are planning a wedding, Lauren and her team are a MUST. My wedding day was exactly how I had envisioned it and Lauren and her team made that possible from start to finish.

The Best Planning Decision I Made

Lauren was absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough great things about her or her company. She was with me when I started planning in 2020 all the way through and during the wedding. We had a rather large backyard wedding and I would not have been able to organize it without her! She gave me ideas for vendors. Came onsite multiple times. She helped us bring our vision to life. She always got back to me quickly and she is friendly and great to work with. She made the timeline for me and helped us rehearse and kept everything on track the day of. She did the decorations even includes some of her own and everything was gorgeous! I know without a doubt she did not charge me enough. I know I could not have done it without her and I am forever grateful for all she did to make our day the most perfect day in both of our lives! I recommend her to anyone that has never planned a wedding before. It is much more involved then I could have ever imagined and having her allowed me to just enjoy my wedding day while I got ready with the girls and she handled everything else! Thank you At Last Events!!

Lauren was the guiding light I didn’t know I needed!!!

WOW where do I even begin?? I met Lauren during my wedding planning pre-covid. Right from the start I knew I wanted her on my team. She was organized, consistent, precise, and listened to ALL of my visions/ideas and assured me she could help bring them to life. She did exactly that, AND some!!! She frequently sent me links to sites when decor I was looking at went on sale. She sent me plenty of inspo pics. Attended all of my meetings with me. Suggested awesome vendors. She even helped me adjust when covid came knocking. Lauren adjusted quicker than I did. She stayed on top of all of my vendors to ensure nothing fell through the cracks, she kept me informed on state regulations as they were posted, and most of all she picked up the phone and genuinely listened when I was on the verge of crying. After all of that, we made it to our wedding day!!! Lauren was there from start to finish. Knew exactly how I wanted all of my decor placed. Helped with break down. Even helped me with my dress when I was experiencing a wardrobe malfunction. She was more prepared than I was with tape, bobby pins, and brushes. A true angel. Lauren by far exceeded my expectations and was everything a bride could have hoped for on her big day. I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything because Lauren, and all of her suggested vendors, were there to take care of me the whole way through!!! If you’re thinking about a wedding planner, please do it. I promise you Lauren will not fail to impress you right from the start and she is worth anything to have on your team as well!

Great Service at an Incredible Value!

Lauren was immensely helpful in trying to get married in 2020! She was instrumental in keeping planning on track despite the chaos and all the changes that occurred. She is highly professional and organized and you can tell that this is a true passion of hers! She is full of amazing ideas and has what seems to be an endless pool of resources for compatible vendors with great prices. On day-of, she had everything handled so me and my husband could just sit back and enjoy the day. She handled everything with a smile and her husband was so nice as well! I so look forward to working with her for our reception in 2021!
